EASTON Dr. Carl J. Schaefer of Easton died Sunday, Dec. 12, 2010, at his home. He was 90.
Born April 27, 1920, in Buffalo, N.Y., he was the son of the late Carl J. Schaefer Sr. and Isabel Shear Schaefer. Dr. Schaefer graduated from Buffalo Technical High School and The Ohio State University with a B.S., M.A. and PhD degrees.

Dr. Schaefer's career was in vocational and technical education at The Ohio State University (The Laboratory of Trade and Industrial Education). The Ohio State Department, The Pennsylvania State University, (College of Education) and Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey in Graduate School of Education.

The highlights of his life included his many awards in education, being the author of eight books and numerous articles, many of which are in the archives at Rutgers University Library. He received national recognition, receiving The Ohio State Centennial Award in 1970 from the College of Education. He was recently (May 14, 2010) awarded a "Certificate of Appreciation" for his 40 years in education by the U.S. Under Secretary of Education at Alexandria, Va. He was active in many professional associations, serving as president and other offices.

He founded the Vocational-Technical Education Department at the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers University in 1963 and was one of three who developed the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) located in Big Rapids, Mich.

Before entering the U.S. Army at the age of 20 in December 1942, he was employed as an electrode furnace operator by Alcoa Aluminum (Alcoa, TN). After working in an essential industry during America's first year at war, Lewis Sparks was inducted into the U.S. Army on Dec. 12, 1942, and entered active service in Ft. Oglethorpe, GA on Dec. 19, 1942. While receiving basic infantry training in Fort Riley, KS during the winter of '42/43, he qualified as an expert on the M3 .45 submachine gun ("grease gun") and then received specialized training as a Signal Corps field lineman.

Arriving in France with the 94th Infantry Division in September 1944, Staff Sgt. Lewis A. Sparks served with distinction in the Signal Corps while stringing telephone line and fighting his way through northern France, the Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe. He received the Bronze Star Medal for gallantry from the GO 124 Hq. 94th Inf. Div. on May 19 1949. He also received a Good Conduct Medal and Meritorious Unit Commendation from the GO 121 Hq. 94th Inf. Div on May 16, 1945, as well as the WW II Victory Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (w. 4 bronze service stars) and the American Campaign Medal.. Lewis Sparks completed his active service in Europe on Dec. 8, 1945 with the rank of Master Sgt.

After returning from Europe, Lewis A. Sparks remained in uniform with the Army Reserve and served on honor detachments accompanying burial details throughout the south. He retained the rank of Master Sgt. (USAR) while assigned to the 81st Signal Co. at the Atlanta Army Depot (Fort Gillem) in Forest Park, GA, until May 17, 1957, when he was promoted to Warrant Officer (WO) while serving as Vehicle Maintenance Officer. He continued as Vehicle Maintenance/Motor Maintenance Officer with the 81st/181st Signal Co. until Aug 29th, 1961, when he entered the inactive reserve with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Two (CW2).

After the war, Lewis A. Sparks married Bertha "Tootsie" Cannon in 1949 and worked as an automobile mechanic in garages in Atlanta and (for a brief time) Miami, until he was hired in 1951 as an aircraft mechanic by Delta Air Lines in Atlanta. During his career with Delta, he worked in line maintenance as a master mechanic until his retirement in 1983. By then, Lewis Sparks had mastered every system of every aircraft in the Delta fleet, from the primitive but sturdy DC-3 through the monster turbo compound engines of the DC-7 to the swift and reliable jet fleet. In 1961, Lewis Sparks requested assignment to Delta's Knoxville airport (TYS) and moved his growing family (3 sons) back to his home town of Maryville, TN, where he worked for Delta until his retirement in 1983.

For all his professional competence, Lewis A. Sparks' earthly life was most distinguished by his kind and generous nature, his loyal commitment to family and friends, and the significance which marks the man who leaves the world a better place for having been there. He was a loving husband and father of three sons, one of whom became a college professor and another who followed in his footsteps as an avionics specialist and tech ops support specialist with Delta Air Lines. Lewis Sparks was a devoted Christian and remained very active in his church until his death from cancer at age 69 in Maryville, Tennessee, on Sept. 30, 1991. He is much loved and greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.

During his time in Germany he was a scout for the 94th Infantry Division recon, where he was captured by the Germans. He was released in a prisoner exchange, and the very next day met up with his infantry again to fight in the Battle of the Bulge.

When the war was over Hap returned home to his family in St. Petersburg. It was then that Hap went to work for Lewis Puckett in St. Petersburg at Puckett's Harley-Davidson. The Puckett brothers saw a need for a motorcycle repair shop in Sarasota; therefore in 1948 in a three-car garage on an alley on 3rd Street Hap and Lewis Puckett opened "Sarasota Motorcycle Co.," which was the first motorcycle shop in Sarasota. Eventually Hap and Lewis became a Harley-Davidson dealer and moved the store to 4th Street; they then changed the name to Puckett's of Sarasota.

Hap's is currently the oldest BMW motorcycle dealership in the United States and one of the oldest Honda dealerships as well.

I am the son of Malcolm R. Horton Jr.  On June 7th my father passed away.  As his oldest son I feel it's important for me to preserve his involvement in WWII for future family generations.  I am very proud of my fathers service and which I wish the younger generation today understood how critical their service was to our country during those perilous times.  I know my Dad was very proud of his service in the 94th (F/302) and I wish to keep that service alive in the memories of my family.  He loved attending reunions and sadly recently attended his last in South Carolina a short time ago. 

On Saturday I erected a flag pole in his honor displaying our nations colors.  My question is this, is there any way I can purchase a 94th Division flag?  I would love to have that flying under the US flag as this would complete my memorial to him. 

Also, I am wondering about membership in the 94th Division organization as an associate member if such a position exists.  Like I said, I want to keep this service to his country fresh in my family and I feel duty bound to carry this torch. 

Any suggestions and information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
My dad, George Pappas, was in the 94th Infantry. He was in the Army between December, 1942 and February, 1946. He was in Europe but I'm not sure exactly when. My dad passed away in September of 2009, never having shared any information about his time in the service. I'm hoping that someone can provide some history regarding my dad. He had an American Service Medal, an European African Middle Eastern Service Medal, a Good Conduct Medal, and a WWII Victory Medal.
Thanks,

Subject: Allan Holmes

I'm sorry to inform you that my Father Allan Holmes has passed away on February 10, 2010. I wasn't sure who to contact but got this email address from the 94th Infantry web site. I also noticed that the "Sea Breeze" letter my dad received was also address to my mom Bernice. She died in mid October of 2007.

My dad's mailing address was 1015 Marvista Ave., Seal Beach, CA 97040. If there is anything else I need to attend to with the 94th Infantry, please feel free to email or write to:

Arcata, CA 95521

Holmes, Allan, was born August 14, 1918 in Yorkshire, England and died February 10, 2010 at the age of 91 in Long Beach, California. He was dearly loved by his children, Jean, Michael, Patricia, and Janice; his grandchildren; great grandchildren; his brother, Kenneth; and by his neighbors and the gang at Mickey D's. He is pre-deceased by his adored children, Diane and James, and beloved wife Bernice. He grew up in North Tonawanda, New York and ended up in Seal Beach, California by way of Rochester, New Hampshire.

He served with distinction in Luxembourg and Germany as a machine-gunner in the Rangers during World War II - a source of great pride to him.

He worked tirelessly on his backyard salvage boats; the boats inevitably sank, but that wasn't the point anyway. He was never too tired to take us waterskiing on the Niagara River after a long day at work. He could make any kind of tool a person needed. He was intelligent, funny, kind, and not a half bad athlete. He was an excellent father and husband and a good friend to many. We miss him.

BEN SIEGEL

1925 to 2010 Ben Siegel passed away peacefully at the age of 84 on January 7, 2010. He is deeply mourned by daughter Sharon Ann Ummel, son Kenneth Daniel Siegel, son-in-law Bradley David Ummel, sister Betty Sherr Lias, nephews Clifford, Harry, and Robert Sherr, brother Lonny, who passed in 2009, and nephews Randy and Alan Siegel. Ben Siegel was born in 1925 in Cleveland, Ohio, to Nellie and David Siegel.

His high school friends remember his fun-loving attitude, skill in playing the clarinet, and desire to be a cartoonist.

He graduated from San Diego High School in February 1943 at the age of 17 and immediately enlisted in the Army College Officer Training Program. When it was disbanded due to heavy casualties in Europe, he found himself in the 94th Infantry Division of the Third Army and sent initially to Camp McCain, Mississippi. He was an accomplished marksman, winning several awards, and was soon posted overseas. He took part in the heavy action in the Moselle Valley, France, got severe frostbite, and was sent back from the front for 30 days only to be sent right back to the front. When leading his platoon across the Rhine River at Frankfurt, his entire platoon was killed, and he was wounded in the head and sent to an Army field hospital. He was given an immediate promotion to Staff Sergeant, and when he arrived at the field hospital, he was nicknamed the "Baby Staff Sergeant." Once again, he was sent back into action, only to be wounded again. Ben came home with three Purple Hearts. When the war ended, he was once again in a field hospital.

When Ben returned home in 1945, he immediately entered UCLA. He graduated with his BA in 1948, entered USC's graduate English program that same year, graduating with his MA in 1949, and Ph.D in 1951. He began his long teaching career immediately.

He married his beloved wife, Ruth Fink, in 1956 and settled into family life. Daughter Sharon Anne Siegel was born in 1960, and son Kenneth Daniel Siegel in 1963. Ruth passed away in 1988. In addition to his wife and children, Ben's great love was the classroom which he occupied continuously for 52 years. He served the Cal Poly, Pomona university community with distinction as a scholar, teacher, and administrator. During the eight years he served as Chair of the English and Foreign Languages Department, he helped the department expand and improve its curriculum. Throughout his successful career, he served as a supportive mentor and respected role model to numerous junior faculty, and as a judicious advisor to countless students. He enhanced the reputation of Cal Poly, Pomona through his many presentations and lectures at national and international conferences, and enriched the campus community by inviting notable writers and scholars to speak at student forums and luncheons. Ben taught classes in Composition, Bible as Literature, American literature, Contemporary Literature, and Jewish American literature throughout a 52-year career studded with awards, honors, and publications.

He was greatly respected for his scholarship in American and Jewish American literary studies, specializing increasingly in Saul Bellow studies. Ben made significant contributions to the English profession through countless conference and symposium presentations, as well as he has written and published 16 books. His 16th book was published the day he passed away.

He traveled the world over, sharing his scholarship from London to New York, to Australia. He will be sorely missed by students and Cal Poly colleagues. His teaching colleagues and fellow scholars in the international scholarly community remember him with great fondness as a gentleman and scholar known to all for his sharp mind, graciousness, generosity, warmth of heart, humor, storytelling, and general love of life.

He shared with all his colleagues his deep commitment to scholarship and above all, to Ruth, Sharon, Kenny, Brad, and extended family. He is recognized as a pioneer in the study of Jewish-American literature. With his passing a bright light has been extinguished. May the memory of the righteous be for a blessing.

Max T. Miller, age 93, of New Philadelphia Ohio died early Sunday morning, Nov. 29, 2009, surrounded by his family, following a brief period of declining health.
A son of the late John Henry and Clela (McDermott) Miller, Max was born Sept. 5, 1916, at New Philadelphia in the family residence on the second floor of the old Miller Studio Store Building.

As a youth Max raised laying hens and sold their eggs to supplement the family's income. He also raised rabbits, which he showed at numerous County Fairs throughout the state, amassing many ribbons and trophies.

In 1934, following his graduation from New Philadelphia High School, along with his parents and two brothers, Max helped to form the well-known Fair Avenue business, Miller Studio Inc. In the early years of the company Max managed the gift store, where many people still remember buying dishware and hand-painted items made by Max's mother. Max would often use the family car or truck to travel to many of the once prominent pottery companies throughout the state to supply the store with quality merchandise.

During World War II, Max served his country as a Staff Sergeant and Medic in the 94th Infantry Medical Corps in the European Theater.

In the early 1960s Max became president of the fast growing company he and his family had developed. It was under his leadership that Miller Studio grew into MPI (Miller Products Inc.) with factories from California to Connecticut manufacturing an array of diversified products. Always the curious businessman he would regularly stop by Miller Studio to visit the business he helped create and to see what new and exciting things were taking place. Never really retiring, he was active until his illness prevented these regular visits.
He was a member of the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church at Dover. In 1959, during his tenure as President of the Church Council, he was instrumental in building the present church facilities and regularly attended until September of this year.

Having been successful in business, Max generously gave back to his church, his community and helped many individuals on a personal basis. Always involved, Max was a Director of the Trumpet in the Land in the 1970s and was a past member of the National House Ware Show Board of Directors. Max's philanthropic endeavors include building the teen social center Park Place at New Philadelphia's Tuscora Park, the Skate Park, located by the New Philadelphia Waterworks Ball Fields, the Quaker Stadium Band Shell and Union Hospital's Obstetrics Wing. Max was also instrumental in the founding and funding of the Tuscarawas County Community Foundation.

Max had a witty sense of humor and always had a ready pun. He enjoyed traveling the world and documenting those trips with hundreds of thousands of photographs which he enjoyed giving copies of to family and friends alike.

Max was recognized with the Tuscarawas County Historical Society's Zeisberger-Heckewelder Award in 1986, the Grace Lutheran Church Founders Award, The New Philadelphia Quaker Foundation Alumnus of the Year Award in 2000 and served as the Grand Marshal of the New Philadelphia Christmas Parade in 2005. His family, friends and the community of Tuscarawas County will sadly miss him and the impact he had on everyone's life.

He is survived by his four children, Dr. Terry (Dr. Sara) Miller of Kent, O., Judy Garza of Oakland, Calif., Ellen Matics and Jeff (Susan) Miller, all of Dover.

Nine grandchildren, Sonia (Robert) Srichai of Minneapolis, Minn., Esther (Bob) Thatcher of Charlottesville, Va., Jason (Sophia) Garza of Oakland, Calif., Janelle Miller of Dover, Jacinda (Tori) Williams of Roanoke, Va., Josiah (Ashley Marra) Miller, Jenna Miller, Ann and Matt Matics, all of Dover; and 13 great-grandchildren complete the family.
