Page 2 March 31, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Community Briefs Obituaries In Loving Memory of Patricia Lamay July 3, 1925 - March 28, 2016 Letters The Notorious Measure B By now the USPS has brought us all a slick, full-color mailing which tells us to vote approval for the notorious Measure B. What a surprise: it is paid for by the cops’ and firemen’s PAC’s. Once again I urge my fellow residents to vote “No” and reject the 50% increase in the obnoxious TOT. We don’t need more taxes, we need fiscal responsibility. See you at the polls. – Edward Ryan No on Measure B Read the Argument Against Measure B and Rebuttal to the Argument in Favor of Measure B in the Sample Ballot.

This year’s featured speaker was Logan Hansen, 12-years-old, son of Marsha Hansen, Executive Director, El Segundo Chamber of Commerce. Logan Hansen was diagnosed with complex Congenital Heart Disease a few hours after birth. He discussed his many challenges since birth, which included three major surgeries, numerous procedures, doctor visits and “loads of medicine”. It would be overwhelming for anyone, much less a young boy, however his speech was delivered in a matter-of-fact, inspirational and even humorous way. It was a great way to start the Easter weekend.

Sid served honorably in the Merchant Marines and later in the U.S. Army in the Pacific Theatre in WWII. Following WWII, Sid earned his Master’s Degree in Library Science from the University of Southern California.

He was a lifetime member of El Segundo Lodge #507, F.&A.M., Scottish Rite and Al Malaikah Shrine. After retirement from E.S.U.S.D., Sid enjoyed photography and worked at Boschetto’s Camera Store in El Segundo for many years. He and his wife traveled extensively and lived in England where he established lifelong friendships. Sid ultimately returned to California to enjoy his family.

They moved to El Segundo in 1964 where they raised their 7 children. She was the most wonderful mother and grandma who dedicated her life to caring for her family. She was predeceased by her husband, James Lamay, her son John, her grandson David, and is survived by her children, Rosanne (Bob), James, Thomas (Janet), Lori (David), Joseph (Sonya), Teresa, her sisters Delores and Virginia, fourteen grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by all of her family and friends who loved her. Services will be held at Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church next week. Correction In last week’s El Segundo Herald, “New Leadership at St Anthony School Driving Families to Seek Alternatives”. We made an error: The first grade teacher was let go while on her honeymoon, not the second grade teacher. The second grade teacher retired. •
