Obituary:
Troy Moss Obituary
Moss, Troy October 23, 1947 - March 10, 2013 Troy was born in Ayer, MA, and died in Miami, FL of cancer. She was predeceased by her parents, Frederick Siegmund and Corrine Adlridge Bromberger, and survived by her husband of 34 years, Justin Moss, and siblings Eric Bromberger and wife Pat, Corinth Thompson and husband Paul, Matthew Bromberger, and Thrace Bromberger, all of California. In addition, she is survived by her mother and sister in law, Ruth Moss and Carolyn Driggers, also of California, and many nieces and nephews. Troy received her Bachelor's degree in Art History from UCSB in 1969 and during her career held posts at the UCSB Department of Art, the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, VA, the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, MD, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, MA. She moreover edited publications for many other leading American art museums, and was associated with the Miami Art Museum for a number of years. Through her mother, she was a direct descendent of both the immigrant Myles Standish and the more colorfully named naturalized citizen, Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette: a fact that would only be learned from her husband during moments of intemperance, for which he is known. Troy's keen intellect, sharp wit, warm smile, and unspeakable grace during her last five difficult months are an inspiration to all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed. The family has indicated that contributions may be made to Florida Grand Opera, which she loved, in her memory.

Obituary:

Lester Alan Cowen
1947 - 2017

69 of Mentone, California, passed away suddenly from an apparent heart attack at his home on January 21, 2017. Lester was born on September 7, 1947 in Loma Linda to Chet and Esther Cowen of Mentone. He graduated with the class of 1965 from Redlands High School. He married his high school sweetheart, Sherry (Hill) Cowen on February 5, 1966 and adored her for 50 years before his passing. Lester joined the Air Force in April 1966 where he served honorably until 1970. Lester was a man's man who could build or fix anything and post-military he began a life-long career in the appliance repair business. From 1984 until 2016, Lester owned and operated Cowen Appliance Service, which was headquartered in his hometown of Mentone.
While Lester's greatest love was his wife, Sherry, he was obsessed with baseball, fishing and classic cars. He was a terrific dad to his two daughters and one son and he was the quintessential "Pops" to his 8 grandkids. He taught all his kids and grandkids how to camp and fish and to love classic cars. Never one to travel too far from home, his favorite place in the whole world was his garage.
He is survived by his wife, Sherry (Hill) Cowen, his daughter Staci (Cowen) Wolfe and son-in-law William Wolfe, daughter Jennifer (Cowen) Fitzgerald and son-in-law Sean Fitzgerald, son Joshua Cowen, as well as 8 grandkids, his mother Esther (Clifford) Cowen, his sisters Suzi (Cowen) Birkey and Sally (Cowen) Gerdes, and 9 nieces and nephews. Together, with numerous extended family members and friends, he will be sorely missed. The whole family is devastated by this unexpected loss and yet is comforted by the knowledge of Pops' great love of Jesus. His legacy is one of love, patriotism and hard work. His wide smile and brilliant blue eyes will be burned into our hearts forever.
A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held on Friday, February 3, 2017 at 11:00am at Faith Chapel Mentone, 1259 Agate Avenue, Mentone, California 92359. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lester's name to the Redlands Bench Warmers at www.redlandsbenchwarmers.org or to Faith Chapel Mentone with a designation to the Royal Ranger program, 1259 Agate Avenue, Mentone, CA 92359.

Frank Coyazo Obituary

Frank passed away on June 16th, 2022, at Loma Linda University Medical Center. Born in Redlands, California, on October 9th, 1947, to Frank Sr. and Lydia Coyazo.
Frank attended Redlands Junior High and graduated from Redlands High School in the class of 1965. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1967, and served active duty from 1967-1969. After basic training at Fort Ord, California, hewas stationed at Camp Custer in Korea with the 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry, 106 platoon 3. As part of their mission, they assisted in the extraction of the surviving sailors of the USS Pueblo, who had been captured by North Korea in early 1968. After being discharged from the military, Frank lived in Encinitas, California, where he began his appreciation and passion for the ocean and the outdoors. He enjoyed surfing, fishing, hiking and riding his bicycle long distances.
Frank enjoyed music with all his soul. He played the clarinet in his high school band, and performed with several local rock bands as a talented harmonica player. In 1987 Frank, alongside his uncle Danny Landeros, filmed, edited, and produced the "I Remember Bryn Mawr" documentary film, documenting the history of Bryn Mawr. Throughout his life, he was a continual advocate for preserving his family's history and the history of Bryn Mawr.

Frank worked for the Santa Fe Railroad for many years, covering all of Southern California as a brakeman and supervisor. Although he enjoyed his job, he felt a calling to help others, and resigned from the railroad. He completed the Emergency Medical Technician program at Crafton Hills College, and transferred to Loma Linda University as the first Community College student ever accepted into the Trauma Tech program at LLUMC. He served the community as an Emergency Room Technician for 13 years, from 1991 until 2004. He then worked for First American Title for a few years before retiring with his wife Rose.

Frank loved his wife, his family, and his beautiful garden, where he would spend much of his time. He loved sharing the bounty of his harvest with friends and family. He loved going on fishing trips to Bishop with his wife after their retirement together.
Frank was loved by many and was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He will be greatly missed by his wife Rose, his son Frankie, his shining star KamyLynn Paradise Gould, his stepson Rick Mendieta, his grandson Zachary Mendieta, his brothers Steve and Joe, and his sister in law Sheila. Frank will always be remembered as a strong person, a devoted friend, and a passionate leader.
