life and the people that she met, befriended and included
in her life. Susan was a giving, caring and trusting person.
She could run comfortably and converse in circles which
ranged from golfing legends to movie stars, to corporate
leaders, and at the same time, make the homeless, the
hapless, and the friends who needed a shoulder, feel welcome
and at home. She gave of herself and all she was blessed
with -- never giving a second thought and made all who
truly knew her love and especially appreciate her warm
and giving heart. Susan is survived by her sister, Diane
Connolly Hernandez; brother-in-law, Michael Hernandez;
sons, Harley David Schnell and Nicholas Paul Sanders;
husband, Jim P. Sanders; stepchildren, Michelle Nowanda

his parents and a brother, Alan Flentge. Ron loved working
on all kinds of cars. Ron could repair just about anything
and was a rare breed of a mechanic. He would often diagnose
car problems without the help of a computer, just by
listening or driving the car. He was also able to do
anything he put his mind to. He designed and built a
dragster by himself, had it painted and raced it. He
loved riding his Harley and attending the ROT rallies.
Ron attended Reagan High School when the Reagan Raiders
“ruled “and won State Championships. He
was a certified diver and loved taking his family camping,
boating and telling stories around the campfire. He
faithfully volunteered for the Bridges to Life Prison
Ministry (John Sage, Founder) for ten years getting
to know and caring for men that society overlooked.
He also loved teaching teenagers at church. Ron had
a heart for teaching young people and kept them entertained
with his dry sense of humor. He was retired and spent
his time doing whatever he wanted and working on his
81 Corvette (his pride and joy). A Memorial Service
will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 12, 2016,
at Westoak Woods Baptist Church, 2900 West Slaughter
Lane, Austin, Texas, 78748. In Lieu of flowers please

Hunter,
Charles Edward
Nov 3, 1954 - Jul 7, 2020
 |
Died at age 65.
Charles Edward Hunter was called home to be with the
Lord on July 7, 2020 at the age of 66. He is preceded
in death by his father Woodrow Cecil Hunter Sr., and
mother Vera Lee Hunter, sister Lareda L. Belk, brother
Alonzo Dexter Hunter. Charles is survived by his brother
Woodrow C. Hunter Jr., Michael A. Hunter, sister Verna
Arceneaux, brother Carlos Hunter, brother Tommy Hunter,
and a number of nieces, nephews & many dear friends.
The celebration of Charles Edward Hunter’s life
will be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at 2pm. Location
is: Cook-Walden Forest Oaks Funeral Home located 6300
West William Cannon Drive, Austin, Texas. Charles was
born in Austin, Texas & attended Reagan High School
then went onto to the University of Texas and transferred
to the prestigious Embry-Riddle University in Florida,
and achieved a Bachelor and Master’s degree. Charles
loved aircraft and attained his A & P license to
fly commercially. As a professional student he never
stopped going to school and had been working on obtaining
his Doctorate and venture into a political career in
Austin where he was from. Charles has not only soared
above the clouds as a pilot, but has traveled the world
in the process and enjoyed scuba-diving, swimming, boating,
skydiving and a host of other adventures. Charles loved
his life, family and friends. They say those who constantly
cheat death are Order Of Service living life to the
fullest. Perhaps it’s the lack of fear that opens
up one’s world, allows one to take risks that
constrain lesser mortals. Charles did live a full life,
despite his too soon death. He loved and embraced those
around him, with long arms and with his fearless heart
he made a positive impact on those of us who knew him,
who loved him, and brothers who worshiped him. We’ll
miss the friend, brother, the one who tested his limits,
who brought home the trophies, who befriended and defended
the neighborhood dogs and children, who was always quick
with a funny line, who was always eager to go off on
another adventure, who fought with us and loved us with
equal passion. We will mourn the man who’s gone,
whom we lost so suddenly, but we’ll remember him,
and above all, he would want us to remember him as he
lived, on the edge of life whether it was sailing around
the world in his boat or hang gliding over the mountains
Charles was always on the fearless edge of "ANYTHING'S
POSSIBLE". |

Lee,
Timothy Byron
May 25, 1956 - Oct 25, 2004
 |
Died at age 48.
Family-Placed Obituary Timothy Byron Lee born, May 25,
1956, in Houston, Texas to Charles and Penny Lee (deceased),
died this October 25, 2004 at the Veterans Hospital Dallas,
Texas after a year long battle with Cancer. He is now
in a better place. He is survived by his brothers John
and Rodney Lee. Tim has one daughter, Elisha, who he loved
dearly. Tim grew up in Austin, Texas and graduated from
Reagan High. After graduation he joined the United States
Marine Corps, where he excelled as a "Sharpshooter"
in the Marines, attaining the rank of Sergeant. He served
in both stateside and overseas deployments. He received
an Honorable discharged February 12, 1979. During his
service he was awarded three Expert Rifle Badges as well
as Certificates of Commendation, Meritorious Mast, and
Good Conduct Awards. Tim was an avid outdoorsman, to say
the least. He loved to hunt and fish, it was his passion.
He spent more time at deer camp and on the end of a rod
than most would consider normal. He loved to cook and
most people who tried his fare enjoyed it! That is, as
long as you like your food WELL SEASONED and your STEAK
RARE. After the Marines, Tim attended Austin Community
College where he studied electronics, which later led
him to a career in electro-mechanical repair of semiconductor
equipment at companies such as Motorola, AMD, DuPont Photomask
and DPI. He enjoyed travel and saw many places including
Japan and Israel. Later in life Tim pursued construction
work, mainly restoration and renovation but, also barn
and deck construction. Tim loved the outdoor lifestyle.
Those who knew Tim well knew, how he struggled with alcohol
in his earlier years - this lead to many problems in Tim's
life. In 1994 he made a conscience decision to change
his life (although the Texas Court System nudged him along).
He was sober the remainder of his life slowly rebuilding
himself. Tim had accepted Jesus Christ as his "personal
savior" and like all of us was "a work in progress".
We will miss him dearly.

Tobias,
Susan Marie
Sep 20, 1956 - Mar 22, 2016
|
Died at age 59.
Susan Marie Tobias, nearing her 60th birthday, died of
cancer on March 22, 2016, in Denver, Colorado. She was
born in Cambridgeshire, England and moved to Houston,
Texas soon after. Susan having dual citizenship chose
American citizenship before her 21st birthday. Although
she spent her early years in Texas and Arizona, she considered
Denver home. Susan enjoyed a diverse professional career.
Bookkeeper, accountant, trainer for implementing software
programs; Boulder School of Massage; Metro Pre-Med - the
professional path from her University of Houston Bachelor's
in Business Administration and Accounting degree to her
present music-filled life was as varied as it was serendipitous.
Starting her career at American Natural Resources in Houston,
Susan was then offered a position as an oil and gas accountant
at Forest Oil in Denver. Her first introduction to teaching
was at Gathers Software, where she trained users on utilizing
oil and gas software. During that time, Susan discovered
massage therapy and, in 1986, completed the massage therapy
program at the Boulder School of Massage. In an effort
to better help her clients, she enrolled in the Pre-Med
program at Metro State/U of Colorado at Denver, where
she completed the scientific requirements to apply to
medical school while volunteering at Children's and Craig
hospitals. In the application process, Susan realized
that she could be of more service as a massage therapist;
this has served as a wonderful compliment to her teaching
career. Another area Susan always wanted to explore was
music; she began as a volunteer in the band program at
St. Ann's Episcopal School, thus launching her music career!
After teaching there for a number of years, Susan was
hired as Highline Academy's K-8 general music teacher.
There she implemented such programs as guitar, before-school
band, Shakespeare while serving on the playground and
garden committees. At Highline, she became a part of an
incredible community of talented and dedicated faculty
and staff. Susan's cancer diagnosis prompted an overwhelming
offering of love and support from Highline's Board of
Directors, its administration, teachers, students and
parents. Over the past months, this generosity of spirit
has extending to so many who have reached out to her.
No greater gift than the caring of others. Susan's musical
journey included a certification in Suzuki piano and classes
in Suzuki violin. She played clarinet in the Denver Concert
Band and the Souza Band. She was a rehearsal assistant
with Young Voices of Colorado and also taught reed sectionals
to students in the Colorado Honor Band. Susan loved travel,
including Japan, Egypt, and Israel, contra-dancing, bike
riding and attending the Colorado Symphony. Susan's life
was filled with learning, exploration, and sharing her
love of life and is honored to have been able to achieve
that…..working with children. Susan is survived
by her best canine companions, Sasha and Sophie; her father
Ben Tobias and step-mother Phyllis Webb Tobias of Willis,
Texas; her brother Donald Tobias of Houston, Texas; her
brother Paul Tobias and sister-in-law Michelle Tobias
of Austin, Texas; her sister Elizabeth Tobias Riley and
brother-in-law Jack Riley of Montgomery, Texas; her step-sister
Nicki Webb Jones and step-brother-in-law Ernest Jones
of Dallas, Texas; nephews and nieces with whom she shared
a very special bond. Susan was preceded in death by her
mother Sarah Anne Windrow Tobias of Orange, Texas. Susan's
family would like to thank the Highline Academy community
for all of the love and support they shared with Susan
and to the physicians and staff at the University of Colorado
Hospital (Anschutz) who cared for her throughout her illness.
A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at 2 p.m.
at Grace Methodist Church on April 23, 2016, located at
5131 East Yale Circle, Denver, Colorado 80222. In lieu
of flowers, please send donations to your favorite music-related
charity, Highline Academy, or the charity of your choice.

Williams,
Todd Radford
Aug 27, 1956 - Sep 24, 2006

Died at age 50.
Todd Radford Williams, known to thousands of Austin schoolchildren
as "Farmer Todd", died in San Antonio on Sunday,
September 24, 2006, at the University Hospital Transplant
Center. He was 50 years old. Todd was born August 27,
1956, to Prescott and Jane (McMillan) Williams in Baltimore,
MD, and moved with his family to Austin before his third
birthday, when his father took a position at the Austin
Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Todd attended Austin
public schools and graduated from John H. Reagan High
School with the class of 1974. He received a Bachelors
degree in agricultural education from Stephen F. Austin
University. Todd was a hard-working, kind and patient
man with unflagging enthusiasm and humor. He possessed
tremendous practical intelligence and was unassuming and
without malice. He loved his job with the City of Austin's
living museum, the Jordan-Bachman Pioneer Farm, where
he spent over 23 years. He was particularly proud of his
"Barnyard Babies" program, which introduced
very young children to equally young animals. When his
health forced a move away from close contact with children,
animals and old farm implements, he transferred to the
Zilker Botanical Gardens, where he worked until forced
into complete retirement in 2005 by his health. The cliché
about never meeting a stranger was true for Todd. He enjoyed
meeting new people and learning all about them. He was
also a private individual, sharing innermost thoughts
and feelings with only a select few. He was a loving and
committed father. He was a generous, thoughtful, fun-loving,
caring, respectful and tolerant man. We, his family, firmly
believe it was the love he gave and received that kept
him alive longer than anyone could have expected. Todd
loved his childhood summer vacation in Colorado, and dearly
wished he could retrace, with his own children, the camping
trip route that his parents and siblings took in 1965
from Iceland to the city of Jerusalem in Jordan. Todd
and his brothers and sister frequently entertained the
whole family with hilarious and poignant stories of their
18 month stay in the Middle East. Todd is survived by
his much beloved children, Megan and Adam; his parents,
Dr. Prescott and Jane Williams; brother Scott and wife
Cheryl; brother Andrew and wife Kathy; sister Peggie and
husband Steve Tufts; nieces Mary (and husband Daniel Brown),
Katy, Jenny and Laura, nephews Pete and David, and great-nephew
James; dear childhood friends Michael Joseph, Joe Matthews,
Donna and Laszlo Eosze; a close extended family of aunts,
uncles, and cousins; and an even larger extended family
of friends. The family thanks the doctors and nurses and
staff at the University Hospital Transplant unit for all
their care and special efforts. We also appreciate the
support and care from Todd's friend, Michael, who stuck
with him and us throughout these difficult years. In lieu
of flowers, the family requests donations to an education
fund for Todd's children. Contributions can be sent, in
his name, to 5412 Tipton Drive, Austin, 78723. A memorial
service will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2006,
at 2:00 p.m. at the Elgin First Presbyterian Church.
