The Bakersfield Californian
Gwynne Hampton Slack
Services: Tues., May 17, 1 p.m.

Beloved husband of Christine, passed away in Santa Barbara on May 11, 2005. 
Gwynne was born in Los Angeles on September 20, 1925, raised in Porterville 
and in 1941 moved to Bakersfield. Gwynne loved music and during the Big Band 
era formed his own swing band, enjoying much popularity in the region. 

Following a successful career as owner of Slack and Son, a construction supply 
company, Gwynne and Christine retired to Shadow Hills in Santa Barbara.

Gwynne's family and friends can attest to his passion and continued scrutiny 
of the World War II era, surprising many with the depth of his knowledge. 

In addition to his beloved wife, he leaves behind daughters, Madelyn Curtis 
and Charmaine Glennon; grandchildren, Charmaine Jacobs, Alex Curtis, Meghan, 
Allison, Andrew and Juliet Glennon; great-grandchildren, Chaz, Emily, Hamilton 
and Curtis; stepmother, Charlotte Slack; sister, Diane McBeth; nieces, 
Marianne, Melanie and nephew Douglas.

We will miss his graciousness, compassion and love more than words can express.

A Memorial service will be held Tuesday, May 17, 2005, at 1:00 p.m., at Welch-
Ryce-Haider Chapel, 15 East Sola Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93191.

In lieu of flowers the family respectfully suggests a donation to The American 
Heart Association.
