Survived by his wife of 44 years, Ronnie Rittmaster Brenner, their daughter Jennifer Brenner Birmingham, son-in-law Jim Birmingham, and their granddaughter Alafair Melinda Birmingham. Joe is the son of the late Blanche and Irv Brenner of Pittsburgh. He was graduated from Washington and Jefferson College, Phi Beta Kappa, and magna cum laude, and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Montefiore Hospital, Pittsburgh was the site of his internship and residency. He came to New Orleans in 1967 to serve as a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Public Health Service. He completed his residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in pulmonary diseases at Tulane University School of Medicine and has enthusiastically practiced internal medicine in New Orleans for forty-four years. Joe and Ronnie were married by Justice of the Peace Gaston Gilbert in Eight Mile, Alabama in 1967, after a long drive from New Orleans and many wrong turns. When the abbreviated civil ceremony concluded with "and in the name of"...long pause..."Governor Lurleen Wallace and President Lyndon Baines Johnson," they knew they were off to a unique start. Later, Cantor David Benedict of Temple Israel, New York added his blessing to the union. They fell in love with New Orleans and never left, apart from a brief exile post Katrina. Dr. Brenner served as President of the Medical Staff, Touro Infirmary; President of Memorial Clinics, Touro Infirmary; and President of the Orleans Parish Medical Society. He was honored on May 30, 2012 with a celebratory reception and plaque for his four decades of service to Touro Infirmary and the Touro community. He also served on the Board of Touro Synagogue. In recent years he spent most Wednesdays with Ronnie preparing, serving, and sharing dinner with the families and staff at the Ronald McDonald House on Canal Street. Joe took no credit for the cooking and referred to himself as Ronnie's "sous schlepp." Lifelong appreciators, collectors, and donors of art, the Brenners enjoyed being Fellows of the New Orleans Museum of Art. Joe relished the time he spent with his morning coffee gang at Still Perkin'. After crack-of-dawn rounds, he began his day with some hearty laughter, a touch of intellectual exchange, but mostly good repartee. Though there was no cure for his liposarcoma, much of his healing, until the time of his death, came from continuing to practice and serve his patients. Joe's wit, excitement for learning, love for and commitment to his family, patients, and friends make him a man to remember. Friends, patients and colleagues are welcome at a Memorial Service on Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 2:00 PM at Touro Synagogue, 4238 St. Charles Ave. with Rabbi Alexis Berk officiating.

Mr. Calongne was a resident of Ocean Springs since 1984. He retired from Tulane University where he was a Professor in Architecture. His urbane and gentle manner was as influential as his considerable skill as an architect. What set him apart was his interest in music, particularly that of modern composers and his passion for the well-designed object. Unlike most of his University colleagues, he was almost universally admired as a non dogmatic but highly principled teacher and architect. Some of his noteworthy students were Albert Ledner, Milton Scheuermann and Errol Barron. In the scope of his career, he designed many notable buildings in New Orleans and on the gulf coast to include several homes in Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula. Mr. Calongne retired from teaching at Tulane in 1984. In November of 1973 he bought four acres of land at Pointe aux Chenes, where he planned to build his dream home. His home was eventually built as an architectural experiment of his own design. The home was geometrically pure, spatially concise and sturdy surviving Hurricane Katrina in 2005. His father, Wilford F. Calongne, was born in 1883 in New Orleans. He married Mary Haggarty in New Orleans in 1920. Wilford, Jr. was their only son and the family resided on Webster Street near Audubon Park.

Times Picayune **************************************** 000168 DAVIS Corwith Davis III greatly loved husband, father, son, brother, and friend died while hiking on Chimney Top Mountain in Cashiers, North Carolina August 6, 2012. He was 35. Corwith was born in Charlottesville, Virginia February 26, 1977, where he attended St. Anne's-Belfield School and played lacrosse and football. He graduated from Hamilton College in 1999 with a BA in American History, where he was a member of Delta Theta Chi fraternity. Following an early career in New Orleans, Louisiana where he was employed by Murphy Oil Corporation as a Start Up-Manager, Merchandising Manager and member of the Murphy Business Development Team, he attended Tulane University from which he earned a JD in 2006, receiving the Charles J. Kohlmeyer Jr. Award for distinction in maritime law. Corwith also earned his MBA from Tulane in 2010. At his death, Corwith was Chief Operating Officer and Manager on Inglewood Plantation in Alexandria, Louisiana, a family run farm specializing in organic vegetables, pecans and eggs. He assumed his position at Inglewood two years ago developing Inglewood's growing commitment to sustainable agriculture and organic farming. Corwith believed that Inglewood was strongly connected to the broader community of Alexandria and volunteered his time and expertise to AMIkids, the Central Louisiana Community Foundation and the Good Food Project of the Central Louisiana Food Bank. It was Corwith's drive, determination, kindness and wit that produced success for Inglewood. His sense of humor was apparent in his designation of the ecologically damaging wild pigs on Inglewood as "Louisiana Heritage Hogs." He was as knowledgeable about catching wild pigs as he was about the pH balance of soil. Corwith's leadership converted the pecan business to organic standards and initiated the first large-scale sustainable vegetable operation of its kind in Louisiana. His enthusiasm for such topics left those around him rapt with attention and wanting to learn more. Corwith was known by all as a devoted friend, person of extraordinary humor, and the ability to use his wit wisely. His insatiable drive to win a debate left each who knew him well speechless at some point. Corwith was the son of the late Corwith Davis, Jr. and Cynthia Keller Davis of Charlottesvile, VA. He is the grandson of Caroline Keller Winter of Alexandria, LA and the late Rt. Rev. Christoph Keller, Jr. and the late Corwith Davis and Cornelia Fabian Davis. He is survived by his wife, Kathryn Blair Shellnut Davis, daughter Kathryn Llewelyn Davis (Lulu) and son Corwith Davis IV (Mike) of Alexandria, LA, sister Caroline Fabian Davis and her husband Brandon Norton Partridge of Washington, D.C. and mother Cynthia Keller Davis of Charlottesville, VA. He is survived as well by his mother and father-in- law Sandra and Thomas Shellnut of Pass Christian, MS and sister and brother-in-law Susannah and Thomas Carrier of New York City. Corwith also leaves behind a throng of adoring aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends too many to name. The funeral will be held at St. Paul's Memorial Church in Charlottesville, VA on Saturday, August 11 at 11:00am.

Anyone who ever met Sandy would probably tell you that she had a big heart, scholarly intelligence and fortitude that stretched well beyond her tall, thin frame. Sandy was without a doubt a phenomenon that rarely comes along. She always advocated for the underdog and in doing so was always honest about her, own faults and nonjudgmental of others. Sandy was loved by all and will be greatly missed. Her generous soul will live on in others who have learned to give selfishly to those in need.

Don Kern was born on July 12, 1927 in St. Louis and was raised there and later in Cincinnati. After graduating from St. Ambrose College in Iowa, he served in the U.S. Army as a radio broadcaster in Germany. After his military service he came to Memphis to pursue his dream to work in radio broadcasting. In 1947 Bert Ferguson and John Pepper started the legendary radio station WDIA; they hired Don as the first Program Director, and later Production Engineer, Sales Director, and other roles. Along the way, he became the first person to record and broadcast the Beale Street Blues Boy, B.B. King, thus acquiring the sobriquet "The World's First Rhythm and Blues Disc Jockey." In 1960 he went from R&B to Country & Western music, going to work for The Might Nine Ninety KWAM owned by the great Nashville radio entrepreneur H.C. "Cal" Young, which would result in a business partnership and personal friendship that would span the rest of their lives. After that he moved to Nashville to join Young at WENO Radio during the heyday of the Grand Ole Opry. He and Young saw the connection between the grass roots sounds of C&W and the cajun fiddles of the Louisiana bayou, and in 1965, they fulfilled that vision and started WSHO AM 800, the first C&W radio station in New Orleans. Don moved to New Orleans and spent the next 40 years there, building WSHO into a national success story and selling it in 1978 when C&W went mainstream. He continued in C&W radio with WSDL in Slidell radio, and he and Young also operated WGUS in Augusta, GA. In New Orleans, Don and his exceptionally gracious wife Ann raised two children and built a legacy that will not be forgotten. He promoted concerts with singers such as Eddy Arnold and Dolly Parton, put on Easter Egg hunts at Pontchartrain Beach, and during Mardi Gras parades handed out 45 RPMs while driving a 1918 Model T Ford or a double-decker London bus, ideas both bigand small that he and his resourceful team at WSHO dreamed up from sc ratch. He was active in the Catholic religion in New Orleans through his parish at St. Pius X and supported the Academy of the Sacred Heart and Jesuit High School. Don had a strong passion for community service, and through Associated Catholic Charities, he donated his service and radio time to any disadvantaged group that needed a single voice to keep their community going, whether they were displaced Vietnamese refugees or South Louisiana natives determined to keep the their Cajun dialect alive. Don was invited to join the Sugar Bowl organization in New Orleans in the 1970s and leaves the organization as an Emeritus Member. He helped to grow the business and entertainment communities in New Orleans through the Sugar Bowl and its sponsorship of so many sports events, both big and small - from the 1973 Sugar Bowl game between Ara Parseghian's undefeated Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the undefeated Crimson Tide of Bear Bryant, through many years of tennis tournaments that gave juniors a place to learn. Don and his wife relocated to Germantown after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Baptist Hospital, St. Francis Hospital, and the Germantown Regional History and Genealogical Center were just a few of the beneficiaries of Don's incredible energy and desire to help, and, most of all, to have fun with other people. He was preceded in death by his mother, Helen McHale Kern, his father Roy Creel Kern, and his wife, Ann Walsh Kern. He is survived by his brother Robert F. Kern of Atlanta, his sister Joan Renier of Bainbridge Island, WA, his daughter Marguerite Kern Kingsmill (Tommy) of New Orleans and son Kevin Walsh Kern (Kathleen) of Germantown, his five grandchildren, Adair, Alison, Danielle, Christopher and Ryan, and his many wonderful nieces and nephews and their children, all of whom he loved dearly.

He was born October 19, 1924 in Detroit, MI to the late Elmer J. and Margaret Blaine Klebba and has been a resident of Covington since 1968. He was 87 years old. He joined the Navy following his high school graduation serving as a Naval Aviator in WWII. He joined GE in 1952 and retired in 1987 after 35 years in varied Marketing Management assignments. His appreciation and pride in GE never wavered. He felt that the greatest gift God had given him was his beautiful wife, Polly and the 61 wonderful years with her. His children and their love made everything perfect for him. He loved his children, grandchildren and daughters and sons in laws and was very proud of them all. He had a group of friends that he also cared a great deal about and shared many good times with. He loved music and taking photos of family and friends. His computer became an everyday part of his life. His daily e-mails from family and friends were like a tonic to him. He loved tennis with friends as long as he was able. He worked at various charitable roles, including the Mandeville Samaritan Center. He also loved calling on heart patients, as a representative of the "Mended Hearts" organization. He was an "organizer", a "type A" personality who was sometimes overbearing, often impatient but seldom admitted to either. He wanted to be remembered as a Dad who tried to do his best at whatever he tried, and always hoped that his life "Made a small difference" to his family and friends. He considered being born an American to be a great gift from God… and hoped that all Americans, regardless of origin or political persuasion, will some day realize how fortunate they are to have been born and lived in the USA. He was preceded in death by his wife of 61 years, Catherine "Polly" Forton Klebba and a son, Matthew Klebba. He is survived by his six wonderful children: Paul (Gale) Klebba, Peter (Geralyn) Klebba, Theresa (David) Brown, Mary Jo (Philip) Napolitano, Christine Klebba, and Jane (Stephen) Maniscalco, all of whom he loved dearly and whom he was deeply proud.

It was a union which lasted for seventy one beautiful years, and will continue to live in Joe's heart and memory until he joins her in that kingdom of peace and tranquility. She was kind, genteel, giving, caring, and compassionate. She was one of God's chosen people and left her footprints in the sands of time. If Joe sounds prejudice, he is! But, don't take his word for it just ask God. In addition to being a devoted and loving wife, mother, and homemaker she was a gourmet cook, par excellence. Before her illness, she was a daily communicant at Saint Louis King of France Church. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Paratore and Mary Cerniglia Paratore, a brother, Nicholas Paratore, and a sister, Mary Paratore Frederick. She is survived by her husband, Joseph T. Loycano, daughter, Carol Ann Loyacano, son, James J. Loyacano, and grandson, Joseph J. Loyacano. The family would like to offer its deepest gratitude to all who rendered tender love and care to Catherine over the years. Elisa Talbot, The Home Health Care Nurse, who went far beyond her duty as a nurse, and treated Catherine as she would her own mother. Those wonderful nuns, The Sister Servants of Mary, who spent hundreds of hours unconditionally to care for Catherine with love and compassion. There is no way to adequately thank them, but the family does from the bottom of their hearts. Those two energetic and faithful caregivers, Antoinette and Ray Schaub, who like the others mentioned above, came by way of Divine Providence. Cousin, Vincent (Butch) Taboni, who helped in so many ways. Our friends and neighbors, the Carr Family, who didn't ask what they could do, they just did it. Canon Hospice, whose caring Dr. Donald Persich and the devoted staff are beyond comparison. Dr. Miguel Rivera who has cared for not only Catherine but the entire family for so long.

Schaffer; brothers: George Michael Schaffer, Jr. and William Schaffer all of Vicksburg, Mississippi; and his grandson James Burke Cobb of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Colonel Schaffer, a decorated veteran having served in WWII and the Korean Conflict, lived a full and adventurous life. He initially enlisted in the US Army Air Forces in 1942 and was sent to Europe, arriving in October 1944. 1st Lieutenant Schaffer was assigned to the 757th Bomb Squadron, 459th Bomb Group and served as navigator on the B-24 Liberator Bomber. While the average life expectancy of a Bomber Crewman was 14 missions, the Colonel survived 35 combat missions before returning stateside. He served as lead navigator on 22 of 35 missions either as squadron, group or wing lead. His major Battles and Campaigns included Rhineland, the PO Valley, North Apennines, Central Europe and the Balkans which occurred in Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia (names in 1944 A.D.). Post WWII, his military career included a recall to service with the 301st wing, Strategic Air Command of the U.S. Air Force for the Korean Conflict, where he again served as navigator on both the B-29 and B-50 Bombers. He was stationed at Eielson AFB (Mile 26 Field), Fairbanks, Alaska from which he flew reconnaissance flights. His tour was extended to allow low flying over the North Pole with Dr. Carver of the University of Michigan who was developing a grid system of navigation later used in commercial polar flights. Later Tours of Duty included Lakenheath, England and Sidi Slimane Airbase, Morocco. Upon separation from active duty with the Air Force, he continued his call to duty and service by transferring to the U.S. Air Force Reserve. In the Air Force Reserve, he served as Commanding Officer of all Reserve General Training Units in Louisiana and eventually, with the Rank of Colonel, retired from service to the country he loved in 1978. Colonel Schaffer's military decorations include the Distinguished Flying Cross, Presidential Citation, Air Medal with 5 Oak Leaf Clusters, Distinguished Unit Citation, three Theatre of Operations ribbons and six Campaign Ribbons with 5 Battle Stars. A 1951 Chemical Engineering graduate of Louisiana State University (LSU), a registered Professional Engineer, President of the Schaffer Global Group and its predecessor engineering companies, Col. Schaffer became world renowned in the Sugar Industry and related agriculture business sectors. At LSU he worked at the Audubon Sugar Institute developing new equipment and engineering standards. It was there that he met his first business partner, the esteemed professor, Dr. Arthur G. Keller, who later invited him to form a business together, Arthur G. Keller and Associates & Engineering. During that time, LSU was a mecca for students for learning sugar engineering. The company became one of the most successful technology transfer companies to originate out of LSU. Colonel Schaffer held or jointly held 14 patents, including for the Vertical Diffuser. His contributions to the industry are recognized in over 60 countries and resulted in awards from the U.S. Department of State and the Corporate Council on Africa in recognition of corporate citizenship in Africa, innovation and exemplary international business practices. Notable sugar development and engineering projects included Kenana Sugar, the world's largest integrated sugar mill, located in the Sudan, Rio Grande Valley Sugar Cane Grower's Cooperative, the only sugar mill in Texas, and he was involved with the initial or expansion design engineering of most of sugar mills in Florida. Together with Dr. Keller he provided consulting to the Louisiana sugar industry which continues through the work of Dr. Harold Birkett. Schaffer was a partner in SS&S Fabricators (Steel) of Addis, Louisiana for over 50 years and was involved with Mr. Sevin in expanding it to one of the largest in Louisiana. At the time of his passing he was a member of the Board of Directors of the World Trade Center of New Orleans (25 years). His service to the International Business Community and Sugar Industry is recognized by his memberships in the Corporate Council on Africa, American Society of Agricultural Consultants, and many others. The Schaffer family are blessed to have shared in his life and watched in admiration as he touched so many lives in corners of the world unknown to most. Friends and associates describe him as kind, quiet, brilliant, humble, fair, peaceful, and hardworking. An Outstanding loving father to his family, a resolute friend and generous employer, he stressed the importance of tolerance for and love of all people. He especially loved the people of the Sudan and he worked for ethical trade and harmony between America and the Third World. The Schaffer Family is very grateful and proud of all of his Partners and employees that made possible his many successes in life.

Nine grandchildren as well as nieces, nephews, great- nieces and great-nephews, also survive him. He is survived by his sister-in-law Rita Ann Buckley Merrill and Harold George Merrill. He was preceded in death by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Harry Edmund Lloyd Seese, his brother Dr. Harry Lloyd Seese and son Daniel Buckley Seese. Dr. Seese was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and graduated from Baton Rouge High School in 1956. While in high school, he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. James, known as "Jim", was a cum laude graduate of LSU in 1959 and a graduate of LSU Medical School in 1963, where he was in the top ten of his class. He is a member of Mu Sigma Rho, Phi Eta Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi, scholastic fraternities, and Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity. Dr. Seese served as president of the Undergraduate Surgical Society of the LSU Medical School and was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, national medical fraternity. Following graduation from medical school, Jim completed his internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City where he met Eileen Buckley, RN, who was a head nurse of a surgery ward; they were married in November, 1964 in Manhattan. Dr. Seese served his country faithfully as a Medical officer aboard the US Destroyer Bigelow. He was assigned to the Mayport Florida Dispensary in Mayport, FL where he achieved the rank of Lt. Commander on his tour of duty in 1966. Following a move to Metairie, LA, Dr. Seese began his Obstetrics and Gynecology residency on the LSU service at Charity Hospital. Upon completion, Jim went into private practice with Drs. Abe Michal, Al Weidman, and AC Touchy. In 1971 he moved to the practice of Drs. Jack George and his son Frank J. George, until he retired in June 2001. Dr. Seese spent most of his practice at Lakeside Hospital, where he helped to bring thousands of babies into the world as he prayed with his patients and offered his spiritual guidance throughout their care. Although not Catholic, Dr. Seese faithfully attended Mass with his wife and children; he also attended Believer's Fellowship Church and served on the Board of Women's Aglow Ministries. He very much enjoyed retreats at Manresa over the years, especially his last one with two of his sons in 2011. Jim was known for his love of God, his family, and his country. Upon retirement, he continued to foster his passion for gardening, cooking, opera, film, and visiting with his grandchildren. An avid reader of the Holy Bible, Dr. Seese's faith strengthened more and more as he passed his love for Jesus on to his children and most importantly, his grandchildren. Dr. Seese's legacy is to spread the word of God to all and to always have a grateful heart. The family would like to thank Dr. Laura Brinz and Associates, Bonnie Evans of Hospice Associates, and especially Marja "Leena" Isoaho, RN who tirelessly cared for Dr. Seese during the last weeks of his life.

Walters. He was the second of three sons. He had early schooling in Atlanta and Savannah. He died at the age of 101 on Wednesday, August 1, 2012. He married Florence Singreen Walters on June 24th, 1937 and became parents to two sons: Charles Richard Jr., and Robert Edmond Walters. Dr. Walters and Mrs. Walters moved to Christwood approximately ten years ago after living in the garden district of New Orleans. He practiced surgery in New Orleans for 40 years and was on the visiting staff of Tulane Medical School with the final status of Professor of Clinical Surgery. He obtained his B.S. and M.D. degrees from Tulane in 1933 and 1936 with scholastic honors of Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omicron Alpha. After six years of post- graduate hospital residency, he became a Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. He proudly served in World War II for four years exiting as Lieutenant Colonel. His surgical practice was primarily at Southern Baptist Hospital where he was Chief of Surgery for a period.

He enjoyed sailing with his two sons, Dick and Bob and they won many, many races at the Yacht Club. He also was an avid fisherman and hunter and when he wanted to take it easy, he played either golf or contract bridge, which he loved immensely. As he became unable to partake in the more active sports, he developed a greater passion for contract bridge and played almost daily with the members of Christ-wood. He enjoyed dining with members and often would get chided for winning the bridge hands so often. His mind was sharp till the day he died. He was loved and respected by his peers at Christwood and will be remembered for his sharp wit. He is survived by his son, Robert E. Walters and his wife, Janice; Robert's two children: Robert E.
