Leland McCarthy, an agricultural icon, passed away peacefully in his sleep early 
morning Monday, Dec. 7, 2009.

Private services were held in December in the McCarthy Chapel of St. Aloysius in 
Tulare, Calif. His Celebration of Life Memorial will be held at at 3 p.m. 
Saturday, Jan. 30 at the Clarence Ritchie Barn, 16338 Avenue 308 in Visalia, 
Calif.

Born in Hanford, Calif., in 1928, he was the third of four sons to Gertrude 
Quinlan and Francis McCarthy. Over his lifetime he developed hundreds of 
thousands of acres of agriculture, including 70,000 acres of permanent crops 
throughout the U.S. and large-scale cattle and sheep ranching in Australia. His 
contributions, through various joint ventures and partnerships, included the 
world's largest contiguous planting of varietal wine grapes, thousands of acres 
of sugar-cane farming and the operation of the Teche and South Coast sugar mills 
in southern Louisiana. He was considered instrumental in the introduction of 
pistachio farming in California. With his partner and lifelong friend, Vernal 
Amaro, Leland was credited with co-inventing the first mechanical wine-grape 
harvester along with similar systems for olives and pistachios. He became an 
early supporter of the Viticulture and Enology Research Center at CSUF, where 
his financial contributions helped sustain the program in its initial stages.

Never without his cowboy hat, boots and cigar, Leland will forever be remembered 
for his quiet but commanding presence, insightful observations, unprecedented 
vision, pioneering spirit, perseverance, sharp wit and overwhelming generosity. 
He will be deeply missed by those that survive him, including his wife, Judy 
Theriot of Houma; former wife and mother of his children, Bettye Lou Thompson; 
his son, Sean McCarthy; his daughter, Meg McCarthy Somers; two stepchildren, 
Russ and Alix Rabbass; six grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; and two 
brothers, Richard and Don McCarthy.

Surrounded by his family, Chief Petty Officer Robert Allen Vendetto, a retired Navy Diver, lost his courageous battle with cardiopulmonary disease on Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 in Houma. 

Bob, fondly known as "Guinea" among his military brothers, served our country with pride and honor for 23 years. Throughout his years of military service, he spent time aboard the following Navy vessels: USS Albany, USS Skylark, USS Sunbird, and the USS Lipan. While stationed in San Diego, Bob was a diving instructor at the 2nd Class Diving School. Following this duty, Bob served in Vietnam with the Harbor Clearance Unit One. Bob's last tour at sea was aboard the USS Seawolf (SSN) 575 attached to Submarine Development Group One Detachment Mare Island, California. 

He honorably retired from US Naval service as the Project Manager of the EX-14 and MK-11 Underwater Breathing Apparatus at the Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) in Panama City, Fla. In that position, he was a key team member of a 1,000 feet of sea water experimental saturation dive. He was awarded the coveted "Legion of Merit" for his valiant service to our country. 

After his retirement from the Navy in 1979, Bob cherished his time as an Offshore Saturation Supervisor at Santa Fe Underwater Services. Later, he plunged into the world of sales with Santa Fe. Being a natural born salesman, his charismatic personality brought him success at Sonat Subsea, American Oilfield Divers, Stolt Offshore, MADCON, and finally Triton Diving Services.

Chief Vendetto was born in New London, Conn. on Sept. 4, 1936 to Ellen Sullivan Vendetto and Michael Vendetto. He was a graduate of New London High School, class of 1955. 

He was the proud father of Beth Vendetto Walters and husband, Mark, of Winter Springs, Fla., J.R. Vendetto and wife, Judy Moore, of Baton Rouge, John Vendetto and wife, Connie Bergeron, of Houma, and Joe Vendetto and wife, Marlana Soard of Houma. His grandchildren will miss their papa, Joei Michelle Vendetto, Tyler Walters, Hannah Walters, Destin Vendetto, Bre' Vendetto, and Vincenza Vendetto. He is also survived by the mother of his children and caregiver, Elizabeth Ann Dolan. He leaves behind his brother, Wayne Vendetto, and sisters Patricia San Juan, Phyllis Bartelli, Maureen Thompson, Joan Laycock, and Donna Vendetto. He will be sadly missed by his companion, Maureen Bodron, dear friend, Frank Mantel, military shipmates, and his civilian family. 

We give heartfelt thanks to Dr. Russell Henry for his dedication, commitment, and gentle guidance throughout Bob's illness. We would also like to recognize the CCU Unit at Terrebonne General and the staff at Physician's Alliance for the compassion and dignity shown to Bob in his final days. 

Calling hours will be from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Falgout Funeral Home in Houma. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Friday, at the Cathedral of St. Francis de Sales. Following the Mass, Mr. Vendetto will be laid to rest at St. Francis de Sales Cemetery No. 2. Prior to the church service Friday morning, a Military Honors Ceremony will take place at Falgout Funeral Home starting at 8:30 a.m. 

Receptions for relatives and friends will be held at the Ramada Inn following both services. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to: Mark V. Monument Project, 3830 Patrick Road, Southport, Fla. 32409 or online in Bob's name at www.markvmonument.org.

A Celebration of Life will be held during the summer in New London, Connecticut.
