Dave West, Jr.

Dave West Jr. died Friday, March 1, 2002, at age 78.

Born June 26, 1923, in Portland, Ore., to Scots-Irish immigrant parents, David
and Margaret West who preceded him in death.

Mr. West graduated from high school in Berkeley and served his country honorably
as a seabee in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He worked as a cowboy in
the hills of the East Bay area, commercial fisherman on his own boat and was
employed for over 35 years by Western Electric and Pacific Bell as a foreman. He
retired with his wife to their ranch near Esparto in 1980, where he raised
Beefmaster cattle, quarter horses, goats and exotic chickens. He lived life to
fullest and with integrity.

He was a master storyteller and had a beautiful singing voice for the Irish
songs he loved. He enjoyed traveling to Victoria B.C. and Oregon to visit family
and friends. He also loved to travel to the northern California coast and to
Reno, Nev. He helped in so many ways over his lifetime.

Mr. West is survived by his wife of 54 years, Claude West; children, Danielle
Littleton of San Andreas and Mark West and wife Diedre of Modesto;
grandchildren, Andrea Stone of Soulesbyville and Margaret Littleton of San Andreas.

A public memorial service is scheduled at 2 p.m., Saturday, March 9, at 75 West
Ranch, 25520 County Road 25, Esparto.

The family requests memorials be directed to American Diabetes Association in
his name.

McNary's Chapel of Woodland is assisting the family with arrangements.
