William E. Norrington First Executive Officer of Cusk	Los Alamitos	CA	LCDR	45 - 47	24 October 2010	William E. Norrington died peacefully at his home in Los Alamitos on October 24, 2010. Bill, age 93, was born in North Hollywood in 1917. He was the captain of the 1939 UCLA soccer team, and graduated with a major in Astronomy. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy's "90 Day Wonder" program, designed to train graduates as naval officers. Bill met his wife-to-be, Zelma Ruth Lillard, while in training in Chicago, where they were married in 1942. Bill was in the submarine service through WWII; he completed four war patrols on the USS S-30 as a junior officer and seven in the Pacific on the USS Rasher as navigation and executive officer. He received the Navy's Silver Star for service on the Rasher, credited with sinking the second-most enemy tonnage in WWII. After the war, Bill served on the USS Cusk, then commanded the submarine Guavina. He served as captain of the destroyer Maddox during the Korean conflict, and of the oiler Ashtabula during the Vietnam War. Upon retiring as a Senior Naval Captain in 1964, Bill taught math at San Pedro High School for 13 years, then combined his love of the piano and craftsmanship by working at, and later helping to run, the non-profit American Institute of Piano Technology in L.A. He was passionate about camping and fishing in the Sierra mountains throughout his life. Bill and Zelma traveled together after his retirement, enjoying visiting the British Isles, Europe, the Mediterranean, Japan and Australia and many other places. He continued his work rebuilding grand pianos as well as numerous crafts projects, and was always there with a helping hand for his family, friends and neighbors. Bill is survived by Zelma, his beloved wife for 68 years, his son Bill and daughters Linda and Gael, and grandchildren David, Kevin, Caitlin, Forrest, Jonathan, Jeffrey, and Ryan. Per his wishes, Bill's ashes will be scattered at sea. A service celebrating his life will be held November 13th at 2:00pm at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, 11600 Los Alamitos Blvd, Los Alamitos, CA

Charles Barclay Rutherford	Charleston	SC	EN1(SS)	50	9 January 2012	Charles Barclay Rutherford, CPO, USN, Ret., passed away peacefully at the home of his daughter, Lynda Rutherford Abram on Monday, January 9, 2012. Charles Barclay Rutherford was born on November 12, 1926 in Wauchula, Florida, son of the late Leona Chaudoin Purvis and Charles Barclay Rutherford. He was predeceased by his wife, Anita Geraldine Rutherford (Jerry) and a brother Gene Rutherford. Charles joined the Navy at 17 years of age and retired after 22 years service as a Chief Petty Officer. His military service included serving on the USS Seafox, USS Cabezon, USS Sea Devil, USS Cusk, USS Segundo, USS Bream, USS Bushnell, USS Batfish, USS Penguin and the USS Sennet. He was a proud Submariner and a decorated war veteran serving in WWII and the Korean Conflict. After retirement from the Navy, he went to work for Raytheon and the FAA, which he also retired as a civil servant. Charles, lovingly known as PaPa, grew up in scouting and volunteered as a scout leader for his sons and grandson. He also volunteered for the soup kitchen and Lutheran Brotherhood. He was a longtime member of the Elks Lodge and Rifle Club and spent many hours volunteering for kitchen committee's serving many delicious meals. He became a member of the Palmetto Gun Club later in life and joined the Single Action Shooting Society. He received great pleasure in the love of his family, friends, hobbies and volunteer work. Charles was a member of St. Andrews Lutheran Church, which merged with Holy Spirit Lutheran Church and served on several committees throughout the years. PaPa loved talking to anyone and everyone about gardening, cooking-his collection of cookbooks and recipes, his knife collection- and how to sharpen knives the "correct way"- and his joy of shooting and fishing. Charles (PaPa) will be remembered and greatly missed by his daughter, Lynda Rutherford Abram (Brian), and his sons, Lawrence Rutherford (Marcella), and Eddie Rutherford (Robin), as well as his grandchildren, Hank Holst (Dawn), Nancy Whittaker (Scott), Lauren Milleman (Sammy), Billy Rutherford, Michael Rutherford, and Amy Perugini (Justin), and his great grandchildren, Hannah Holst, Charles Holst, Taylor Bishop, Bailey Ann Milleman and Luke Perugini. Charles is also survived by a sister, Margie Griffin of Florida, a brother, Herman Purvis of Georgia, a sister-in-law Elizabeth Lofton, and brother and sister-in-law William Barnett (Vivian), including many nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by his loving companion, Stella Grady and her children Dixie Roberts (Jim), Harriett Thomas, Cindy Nigel (Scott) and their children and grandchildren. The family would like to thank the staff of Piedmont Hospice for the loving care they not only gave our father, but to our entire family during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Piedmont Hospice or the building fund for Holy Spirit Lutheran Church.
