Buck proudly served his country in the United States Army and retired as a Peace Officer for the State of California. After retiring, Buck and Barbara moved to Stockton, Missouri so he could embrace his love for the outdoors and the love he had for his animals. Buck was known as "The Beast Master". All animals sensed his love for them and were drawn to him, even his coyote Maggie which he raised from a baby. Buck was known for being a man of his word and his strength of character, along with his unique sense of humor that left a lasting impression on everyone he came in contact with. Buck will be missed by many, especially his family on their birthdays for his gift of "SINGING" to them, and the legendary life he left behind for all to tell and remember for many years to come.

        Memorial services will be held in California at a later date with family and friends. Please make any donations in memory of Buck to the SPCA. Condolences may be sent to Barbara Snider at 21465 E 1300 Road, Stockton, MO 65785.

Staley, Vivian Geraldine "Jerry" Staley, nee Wright

Source:  timesonline.com; Sep 2014

        Vivian Geraldine ‘Jerry’ Wright Staley, 82, of Franklin, TN, formerly of Georgetown, PA, slipped the bounds of earth into the loving arms of Jesus her Savior early in the morning of September 3, 2014 at Williamson Medical Center, Franklin, TN, after a lengthy bout with pneumonia.

        She was preceded on this glorious journey on August 20, 2013, by her beloved husband of 58 years, Paul Dean Staley. Also gone on before her were parents, Edgar E. Wright and Gladys M. Anderson Wright; a dear sister, Shirley Wright Schrockman, and wonderful brother-in-law, Charles ‘Chuck’ Schrockman.

        She is survived by son, Paul David Staley; daughter-in-law, Lynn Fyffe Staley of Lodi, CA; daughter, Karen Ruth Staley, and daughter-in-law, Laurie Lynn Larson of Brentwood, TN, along with many nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews from the surviving Schrockman, Wagner, Mark, Giarletta, and Staley generations.

        Jerry was born July 2, 1932, in Weirton, WV. In her early years, she attended a one room schoolhouse in the country then later moved to the ‘city’ and graduated from Weir High where she made many life-long friends before getting her first job as a switchboard operator for Weirton Steel Corp. After meeting a handsome blonde haired man with a million watt smile and stellar dancing skills at Rock Springs Park, she and Paul were engaged within a few months and married on May 12, 1956 at Paris Presbyterian Church. Paul said he knew right away she was ‘The One’ and continued to hold that sentiment through their entire marriage. They both remained fiercely and lovingly devoted through thick and thin.

        After marrying, Paul built their house on Rt. 168 in Georgetown, PA, and Jerry became a housewife until David and Karen were in high school when she began a long career as a teacher’s aide at South Side Area Elementary in Hookstown, PA. Both Jerry and Paul were very present and involved parents who never missed a band concert, football or basketball game or any of the many other activities the kids were part of. Jerry’s South Side colleagues all spoke of their love, respect and admiration for her easy going nature, willingness to help others and patience with both the school children and staff.

        Jerry and Paul were also faithful members of Bethel United Methodist Church near their home for over 50 years. They both felt blessed to have so many kind and generous neighbors and church family who regularly came by to check on them, bring them home cooked meals, and sit on the porch and visit. Most anyone’s friends and neighbors would do these things for a short-term illness but Paul and Jerry’s friends, neighbors and church family did this religiously for nearly two decades!

        Jerry was a kind and loving person to all in her sphere of influence.

        She was truly the epitome of an ‘All American Girl Next Door’ whose faith was evident by her actions not just her words. She and Paul enjoyed home life, camping and Western Square Dancing with their local group The Peppy Promenaders.

        After caring for both her own mother and mother-in-law who suffered dementia in their last several years, Jerry again became a selfless caretaker for Paul who began a 17 year daily health battle with a stroke in 1997. Jerry’s own health began to decline a few years later and Karen realizing both parents needed around the clock care.

        After a year at Wyngate Assisted Living in Weirton, WV, they were able to move back into their home thanks to the many wonderful caretakers who spoiled Jerry and Paul by catering to their every need and became family. There are not enough accolades to describe the selfless compassion of these ‘Angels On Earth.’ When it was evident Jerry and Paul needed an even higher level of care, daughter Karen moved them to an assisted living facility near her in Nashville, TN. Less than a week after Paul’s passing, Jerry was injured and entered the hospital for several weeks and finally residing for almost a year at NHC Place, Cool Springs Skilled Care, also near her daughter Karen in Brentwood, TN. There ‘Miss Jerry’ was loved and doted on by so many of the staff that despite relentless chronic pain issues and related health challenges she enjoyed her last days with people who were no longer strangers but caring and compassionate friends.

        Karen felt blessed to spend nearly every day of the last two years with both of her parents. Despite deep homesickness from having to leave all they had ever known and loved for such a drastic change of geography and culture, Jerry and Paul were still glad to be living out their last days with their beloved daughter Karen. Karen would like to thank the many faithful PA and WV friends and neighbors who continued to keep in touch with Jerry and Paul after their move to TN by calling and sending encouraging letters, cards and cookies.

        Both Jerry and Paul exemplified the virtues of honesty, integrity, loyalty, friendship and a deep faith. The world has lost two wonderful people but Heaven has gained two more beloved children.

        Visitation for Jerry will be Saturday, September 6, 2014 from 10:30 a.m. until time of the funeral at 11 a.m. at STEEL & WOLFE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 380 Penco Road, Weirton, WV. Pastor Ken Jacobs will preside. Burial will follow at Mill Creek Hill Cemetery, 1530 Rt. 168, Hookstown, PA.

        In lieu of flowers, the family requests making a donation to Bethel United Methodist Church, 2137 Rt. 168, Georgetown, PA 15043.

Youngstown police investigating fatal shooting on Tod Lane

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio

        Youngstown police say an unknown dispute between two men, who at one time were friends, is possibly behind the city's most recent homicide.

        The suspect Prince Jennings had been at 116 Tod Lane a few times on Friday looking for his estranged friend. Police say Dillon Howard wasn't home so Jennings went looking for him.

        Sergeant John Purdue, with Youngstown PD, said, "Earlier that day he had seen Howard and a friend of his walking on Wick Avenue, and Jennings took a couple of shots at Howard. Before that he allegedly assaulted a woman who was letting him stay at her place. And early yesterday on Mount Vernon he got into an altercation with a lady who let him stay with her.

        At around 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning, we believe the suspect came here to 116 Tod Lane, knocked on the door, then fired 12 shots into the house.       

        The victim 33-year-old Shannon Strosnider was pronounced dead at the scene." According to the police report bullets barley missed her ten year old son.

        Youngstown police believe her ex-boyfriend was the intended target. Friends are upset saying the victim Shannon Strosnider was recovering from heart surgery, needed assistance, and was in bed all the time.

        Belinda Gauna said, "Shannon was a very nice woman, she had a son who is ten years old, and a dog that never left her side. Her sister was also living with her."

        Police are looking for Prince Jennings, who is 6'1" and weighs about 240 pounds. If you have information call Youngstown Police or Crimestoppers anonymously at 330-746-CLUE.

YOUNGSTOWN

        Investigators say the suspect in the shooting death of a 33-year-old woman in a North Side home early Saturday was looking for someone else.

        Detective Sgt. John Perdue, lead investigator, said the suspect, Prince Jennings, 29, was looking for an ex-boyfriend of someone inside the home when he fired several shots inside about 12:55 a.m. Saturday.

        Killed in the shooting was Shannon Strosnider. Reports said she was shot in the calf and was unresponsive when found by police and the other people inside the home. Reports said her friends told officers Strosnider suffered from a heart ailment.

        Perdue said that Jennings had shot at the ex-boyfriend at Wick and Bissell avenues Friday afternoon, and investigators think Jennings headed over to the house because he believed the man would be there.

YOUNGSTOWN

        A suspect in a North Side homicide was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon in Farrell, Pa.

        Prince Jennings, 29, was arrested in the borough about 1:30 p.m. by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force on a federal warrant for a parole violation.

        Because he had a federal warrant, he did not have to be held in the Mercer County jail to await extradition but instead was taken to Youngstown and questioned by city police detectives before being taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center to be treated for a gunshot wound to the calf he suffered more than a week ago, said police Lt. Douglas Bobovnyik.

        Jennings is a suspect in the murder of 33-year-old Shannon Strosnider, who was shot to death inside a home on Tod Lane about 12:55 a.m. June 29.

        For now, Jennings is charged with two counts of felonious assault in connection with a shooting at Wick and Bissel avenues on the afternoon of June 28.

Cheyenne      Wise:     UC,     community      ban      together      to      show

support      for      Wise      family

        Union College students, staff members and the community came together Friday to show their support for someone they have only known a short while.

        The college hosted a "Praying and Playing" event to help raise funds for the family of Cheyenne Wise, daughter of Jeremy and Katie Wise. Three-month-old Cheyenne passed away recently after being diagnosed with cancer.

        Caitlin Merritt, a Union volleyball player and organizer of the event, said, "When we initially came up with the idea to have a volleyball tournament to help raise money for the Wise family, we knew it would be big, but not big enough to raise $4, 500." Merritt said they received many requests for a special tee shirt designed especially for the event.

        "We even had people from around the world asking for a Playing and Praying t shirt, which was awesome! We literally put the whole thing together in about five days and the amount of support we received from Union and the community was endless, " she said.

        Merritt said Wise has had a big impact on her life.

        "Coach Wise has impacted not only my life, but this team's in the short amount of time we have known him. We could not do enough to help his situation the best we could. Every cent donated to the Playing and Praying event has helped tremendously. It is amazing to know that as the small Union Community on this campus, we will always be there for each other."

        In a statement from Wise, he said, "We have been so overwhelmed by the show of love and support from the Union College community. We have lived here for only seven or eight months, and moving here not knowing anyone. All of our family are in Ohio and Tennessee. But after going through what we've been through -- which no one should have to deal with, we now know we have family here in Kentucky. Union College is amazing. Union has truly overwhelmed us with their love. We are Union."
