Lawrence Eugene Stutz
Lawrence Eugene Stutz, 85 (11/25/32-10/09/18), a native of Chicago, Illinois, formerly of Chula Vista, CA, Woodston, KS and Hays, KS and lately of National City, CA, passed away, following complications of pneumonia and an extended battle with Alzheimer’s, at the Sun and Sea Manor memory care hospice in Imperial Beach, CA, with much of his large family at his side while others kept a long distance vigil from their homes scattered throughout the U.S.
Larry began his career with over twenty-one years in the U.S. Navy. He was aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Coral Sea, for two deployments during the Vietnam War. When returning from one 18 month absence, his wife, Joan, and children did not recognize him furiously waving from the deck due to a big old mustache and full beard he’d grown. He also served on the USS Tutuila (an engine repair ship) on the Vietnam rivers. Following his Navy service, he retired as a Carpentry Shop Manager from NASSCO, a shipbuilding yard in National City. He also founded and ran his own successful Maintenance Company. Eventually, he embarked on the full-timing RV life for many years traveling throughout this great country. The family tradition continues as his descendants have inherited his lifelong love of camping and the outdoors.
He is survived and sorely missed by his loving wife of 59, yes 59, years, Joan Josephine Stutz, as well as his seven children (Jo Ann Stutz, Howard Stutz, Laura Webb, Lawrence Stutz, Keith Stutz, Gail Gibbs and Tracy Masters) and their spouses, 13 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
Anyone who knew Larry will remember his sense of humor, teasing play, generous spirit, big heart and love of family. Please think of those wonderful qualities for they embody the memories he would want you to hold.
Memorial Services will be at 4:00 PM, Saturday October 20th at Community Mortuary, 855 Broadway, Chula Vista, CA. Interment will follow on Tuesday, October 23rd, 12:30 PM.at Miramar National Cemetery, 5795 Nobel Drive, San Diego, CA.

Royce F. Cook
Royce F. Cook of Oberlin, Kansas passed away at the Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems in Beloit, Kansas on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at the age of 94. Royce was born to Floyd E. and Murttis I. (Farr) Cook on August 21, 1924, in rural Logan County Kansas. He grew up in Logan and Scott Counties and graduated from Scott City High School with the class of 1942. On the 27th of June 1944, Royce entered the United States Marine Corps. His special military qualification was rifleman. Royce served in the Asiatic-Pacific Area and participated in actions against the enemy on Iwo Jima, where he was wounded. On September 29th of 1945, Royce was honorably discharged from the Casual Company, Marine Detachment, U.S. Naval-Retraining Command and the United States Marine Corps Reserve. He was proud to serve his country.
On June 20th, 1947, Royce Cook married Lola M. Derley at the Scott County Courthouse over their noon hour. This marriage lasted seventy-one years. Lola would tell you it was a great seventy-one-year partnership and a good marriage. Royce and Lola had two sons, Lee Royce and Verl Ray and a daughter, Sharon. Royce and Lola lived in Scott City until 1950 when they moved to Gove County. In Gove County, they lived in the ranch house by the Pyramids. In 1952, they moved to Decatur County where Royce lived the rest of his life and Lola continues to live.
Royce was a farmer and rancher. He loved cattle and thoroughly enjoyed raising and taking care of them. He liked working at the Sale Barns in Oberlin, Atwood, and Quinter. He was the kind of person who was always willing to help a neighbor. He worked hard, but he enjoyed a little coon and coyote hunting. Another passion of Royce’s was attending auctions. He was always bringing home “treasurers” that he was sure he would use or need one day. Most of all, he loved his family.
Royce is survived by his wife Lola of Oberlin, Kansas; daughter, Sharon Zimmerman and Lyle of Grinnell, Kansas; brother, Dale R. Cook and Jeanne of North Platte, Nebraska; sister, Joanne C. Black and Robert of Arizona; grandchildren, Daniel Weis and Kilee Zeman, David Weis, Lance Weis and Katie, Matthew Weis and Meghan, Kayla Zimmerman, Rebecca Cook, Janel Cook; and great-grandchildren, Walter Weis, Sawyer Weis, Anistynn Zeman, Oliver Weis, Emersynn Weis, and Eliot Weis.
