Rebecca Duke Fox died on October 5, 2005 after a 2 1/2-year struggle with cancer. She died peacefully at the Coronado home of her sister and brother-in-law, Carol and Bill Lemei, surrounded by her loving family and closest friends. Thanks to the Coronado lifeguards, who made the wonderful wheelchair with giant air tires for handicapped individuals available, she was able to visit her beloved Coronado beach – it was a day that brought her supreme happiness. Becky graduated from Coronado High School in 1968. She and her husband Elán Fox opened Miracle Leaf Plants in the Crown Shops (now the shop Island Girls) during the early 1970s, then moved to the Orange Avenue site now occupied by Bay Books. They sold Miracle Leaf in the late 1970s and relocated to Northern California, eventually settling in Forest Knolls, California. Over the years, they operated a restaurant in downtown San Francisco, and several plant and floral businesses in the Marin County area. During recent years, Becky was a social worker working with at-risk youth. She loved camping on the Yuba River with her family and friends, and riding her horse, Sierra, in the hills of Marin County. Becky was pre-deceased by her parents, Mary and Clifford Duke, who moved to Coronado in 1950, when Becky was a baby. She is survived by her husband Elán, daughters Miriah Fox of Forest Knolls, California and Kira Fox Poole of Petaluma, California; Parents-in-law Bella Fox Slamovich and Henry Slamovich of San Francisco; sisters Suzanne Duke of San Diego and Carol Duke Lemei, nephew Galen Lemei and niece Kaitlin Lemei. |

From Toby Leflang: I would like to take a moment to remember my good friend Brian Hackett. I have so many memories with our music days playing in folk groups during and after CHS. Brian could play just about anything that he could get his hands on. I know that my parents sort of adopted him into our family supporting his creative talents when perhaps others close to him did not understand. Before I went on to SDSU Brian was also in many of my art classes at Southwestern at a time when Southwestern had one of the very best art departments in the country with nationally known art teachers. Brian rocked!! His work in some of the student shows was amazing. Brian's creative spirit and talent never got a chance to become what it could have been which is unfortunate as was his short time here. |

The exact cause of death has not yet been determined but is suspected to be related to his diabetic condition.

He attended Coronado public shcools, graduating with the Coronado High School class of 1968. Geno was a loving and devoted father to his three children. As a single parent, he raised them from early childhood and remained extremely close to them as young adults. He is survived by his mother, Frances Horton of Sonoma, formerly of Coronado. Fishing was a lifelong passion of Geno's, starting with surf casting off the Coronado Beach. Geno was an avid sports fan, loved playing golf and spent most weekends watching sports with his children. His gentle nature made him a friend of every person in the town of Big Creek, and known for his sense of humor, was a great story teller of jokes and prankster. Geno will be greatly missed by his many longtime friends and family...........A celebration of Geno's life was held on May 17th in Big Creek. |
