The Record  September 29, 2004
Stockton
Robert William (Pete) Ebenhack 
June 7, 1933 - September 27, 2004



  Robert W. Ebenhack, 71, affectionately known as 'Pete' to everyone who knew 
and loved him, passed away peacefully, and surrounded by his families love on 
Monday, September 27, 2004, in St. Josephs hospital in Stockton, after bravely 
battling a brief illness. 
Pete was born in Westwood, CA in 1933 and moved to Red Bluff in his younger 
years. He graduated from Red Bluff High School in 1951 and immediately after 
graduating enlisted in the Air Force where he was stationed in Japan during the 
Korean War. Pete went on to Mortuary College in San Francisco after his Air 
Force service and in 1961 settled in Stockton with his wife and their two small 
children. He enjoyed his lifelong work as a funeral director and worked at 
DeYoung Memorial Chapel for more than 25 years until his retirement. He worked 
for a short during during his retirement at his sons company, SECO Plumbing in 
Lodi, as shop manager. Pete was active in many lodges over the years including 
being a Past Master of Channel Lodge #757 of Stockton (1972), a member of San 
Joaquin Lodge #19, a member of Vesper Lodge #84 of Red Bluff, and a member of 
Stockton High Twelve Club No. 9. A cancer survivor himself, Pete enjoyed being 
a volunteer for the American Cancer Society where he drove cancer patients to 
and from their treatments when they needed assistance. He was an avid hunter 
(in his own mind) and always looked forward to his annual hunting trips with 
his son Greg, and his lifelong friends from Red Bluff. He enjoyed the many 
trips taken with his wife Jean in their 5th wheel trailer - he fondly 
remembered Alaska and South Dakota as two of his favorite destinations. His 
practical jokes, quick smile, generous spirit and love for family and friends 
will be greatly missed by us all. He is preceded in death by his parents, Bob & 
Pauline Ebenhack of Red Bluff; siblings, Allen Ebenhack and Paula Burnham of 
Red Bluff, and George Ebenhack of Woodland.
He is survived by, and will be deeply missed by, his loving bride of 51 years, 
Jean; their children Greg Ebenhack (Julie) of Stockton, and Susan McCormac 
(Tim) of Stockton; grandchildren, Elissa Ebenhack of Arcata, Ryan McCormac, 
Mandi McCormac and Ryan Neal (Shekera) of Stockton, and Tim McCormac Jr., of 
Pleasanton; great grandchildren, Zackary McCormac and Maliyah Neal, several 
loving nieces and nephews, and grand dogs Hunter and Jackson. 
Friends and family are invited to join the family as they celebrate his life in 
a Memorial Service on October 2, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. at DeYoung Shoreline 
Chapel, 7676 Shoreline Dr, Stockton, CA. No visitation. Private committal. 
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the local American
