He was a graduate of Arkadelphia High School and was attending Ouachita College when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1942. His hobby while in high school was constructing model airplanes, with which he won several state competitions. His love for aviation was the reason he chose to serve his country as a pilot in combat duty on a Liberator Bomber. He was a member of the 454th Bomb Group as well as AAA Western Flying Command and his tours of duty took him to Italy, France, Germany and the Balkans. By the time of his discharge in 1945, he had attained the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Upon his return, Bobby hitch-hiked his way to Louisiana State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering. In 1949, "Bob" gained employment at Louisiana Power and Light, Co. in the Riverlake district. It was here that he met his wife of 54 years, Audrey Seeling of New Orleans. Bob was transferred to the Amite district of L.P.&L. and he became a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society and the Amite Lions where he served as president for the 1960-61 term. He was transferred to the Algiers district where he would work until his retirement. He was a passionate fisherman and avid hunter who enjoyed square dancing and growing his own vegetables. He was a member of the Terrytown Grand Squares and the Sunrise Sundowners Square Dance Group. He was a devoted husband, loving father, a quick wit and he loved a good glass of wine. Bob is survived by his wife Audrey, his son and his wife, Donald and Laurie Finger; his daughter and her husband, Janet and Chip Foreman; five grandchildren, Megan Finger, Zachary Prejean, Nathanial Finger, Ty Foreman and Olivia Finger. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and numerous friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Daniel Winn and John Alan.

Marie was born in New Jersey to the late Jimmy and Conchetta Lillo of Lillo's Restaurant in Leland, Mississippi. She lived her formative years in Leland attending Leland public schools and graduated college from Loyola University New Orleans, Louisiana. Her professional career was launched in New York City singing Opera at the MET. Miss Lillo has appeared in opera, musical comedies, nightclubs, television and films. She made her debut in the legit theatre at the famed Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. Having studied at the ROYAL ACADEMY OF DRAMATIC ART in London, England, she performed in a variety of roles from Lady Bracknell in THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST to Volumnia in Shakespeare's CORIOLANUS. A favorite in Las Vegas, Miss Lillo starred in NORMAN IS THAT YOU?, COME BLOW YOUR HORN, OKLAHOMA, and YOUR HOUSE OR MINE. She toured internationally off and on for years performing comedy and singing routines with MILTON BERLE, co-starred in the Texas tour of DEATHTRAP with LESLIE NIELSEN, with CESAR ROMERO in the national tour of THE MAX FACTOR and made her Broadway debut at the Majestic Theatre as "Maggie Jones" in DAVID MERRICKS' 42ND STREET. On the East Coast, Miss Lillo starred in most of the top theatres in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Marie Lillo won a DRAMALEAGUE AWARD for OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE in the 1998-1999 Season for her creation of "Emma" in Joe Di Pietro's OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS. Later she created another one of Joe DiPietro's fabulous characters, "Mabel", in BABES IN ARMS at the GOODSPEED OPERA COMPANY in Connecticut. She was once again thrilled and honored to create the wonderfully enigmatic role of "Rose" in the LAST ROMANCE at the NEW THEATRE in Kansas City, Kansas. Her first love is the theatre but she confesses that she had a marvelous time portraying the old hunchback psychic nun in NBC'S "PASSIONS." Miss Lillo also taught singing and comedy techniques to many Broadway stars and aspiring students at her studios in New York City and Los Angeles. She continued to do so up until her death. Marie profoundly touched the lives of many, including students, friends, family and Les Girls. She particularly treated all of her nieces and nephews and their respective families as if they were her own children. The love and inspiration she gave to those family members and many others was boundless. As a teacher, she taught students through her craft; and as a remarkable woman, she taught others by her example. Marie was preceded in death by her parents, Jimmy and Conchetta Lillo, brother, John "Johnny" Lillo, nephews James "Jimmy" Lillo and John Ronald "Ronnie" Lillo. Survivors include sister-in-law, Josephine Lillo, nephews, Charles Lillo, children (Dustin and Sunshine) Steve (Lisa) Lillo, children (Michael and Selena) Paul Lillo, nieces, Debbie (Wesley) Keen, children (Lindsey and Lauren), Connie (Gary) Thieman, Denise (Ron) Geltz, children (Sarah and Nicholas).

He was surrounded by daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, colleagues and friends during his last weeks. Bill was born in New Orleans on July 17, 1920, to Arthé Vairin Monroe and William Blanc Monroe. He graduated in 1942 from Tulane University. After serving in WWII, he returned to New Orleans and embarked upon a career in journalism. When he became the news director for New Orleans' fledgling NBC television station, WDSU, he pioneered the practice of airing nightly editorials. His courageous editorials contributed to the peaceful integration of New Orleans schools. He moved to Washington, DC in 1961, where he became NBC's Bureau Chief and Washington Correspondent to the Today Show. For his work on Today he earned television journalism's most prestigious honor, the Peabody Award, in 1972. He may be best known for his role as executive producer and moderator of Meet the Press from 1975 to 1984. Bill was a passionate believer in the responsibility of a free press to uphold ethical standards; in the First Amendment; and in the right of all people to be treated fairly. He had a quick wit and an inquisitive mind. Jazz would always start his toes tapping and he was known to perform a wild jitterbug on the dance floor. He was profoundly moved to see the cause of his lifetime, civil rights, come full circle during the last Presidential election. He was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth Harrison Monroe, with whom he enjoyed a 66 year-long love affair. He was also predeceased by a sibling, Arthé Monroe Duncan. He leaves four daughters, Lee Monroe of West Hartford, CT; Arthé ("Taysie") Monroe Phillips of Thurmont, MD; Catherine Monroe and her husband Bill Ulin of Manassas, VA; and Maria Monroe Poole and her husband Gerry Poole of Union Bridge, MD.

Gertrude Appelton Zarowitz passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at her home in Palm Springs, California. She had suffered from severe aortic stenosis and would have been 97 on March 20, 2011. She was the devoted mother of Joan Zarowitz Zaslow (Lawrence) and Lonny Zarowitz, cherished grandmother of Lori Zaslow Rabenou (Darren), Lynda Zaslow Kleiman (Andy), and Jeremy Zarowitz. Adoring great grandmother of Brett and Nicole Rabenou and Zach and Ben Kleiman. Loving aunt of Cheryl Awenus and Penny Appelton and treasured cousin of Mikki, Lee, Steven, Jon, Samantha and David Fink. Gertrude Appelton Zarowitz was born in Toronto, Canada on March 20, 1914. She met and married Jerome Zarowitz in 1941 in New York City, and they lived in New York City, Miami Beach, Florida and Las Vegas Nevada until they retired to Palm Springs, California 40 years ago. She had the strongest, most beautiful, loving hands and she had an immeasurably diverse sense of artistic expression. In the early years of her marriage she was a comparison handbag shopper and later designed ladies hats and children's clothes. She could sew, bead, embroider, crochet, knit, draw, paint and sculpt. All of her work was original and innovative. She was asked by Mrs. Moshe Dayan to teach beading to Israeli girls, but when war broke out those plans were halted. Her magnificent sculptures in marble and alabaster are both figurative and abstract. Her flair for design encompassed home, fashion, jewelry, and the fine arts, and her creative spirit dominated every aspect of her long and productive life. A gregarious nature and generous spirit were her hallmarks. An inveterate world travel, her desire to explore never ceased. On her last trip to Argentina and Brazil at age 93, she delighted in the tango and the outdoor markets, marveling at the native handicrafts. Her strong optimism and intense will to live gave her 3 .5 years even after her doctor's prophecy of less than six months. Her enthusiasm for life and her dignity awaiting death serve as an example to all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace. Graveside services will take place at Hebrew Rest Cemetery No. 3, Frenchmen at Pelopidas Streets, New Orleans on Friday, February 11, 2011 at 11:00 AM with Rabbi Alexis Berk officiating.
