Wow Rick…Your obit listings are really eye openers. Hard to believe some of these people are gone. I’m beginning to feel like a fugitive from the law of average at age 80. Jim Zeno and I go way back. He was a wonderful guy who always had a cheerful, upbeat outlook on life. One thing: The Curt Sutliff I knew worked in the Editorial Department. Maybe there was a Curt Sutliff in Circulation also. If so, they might even have been related. This is an amazing assemblage of Tribune alums. Thanks again for your efforts. Bob Schulke
Reading these obits provided so many memory jogs. I've been gone from the Trib for 44 years, but I worked (in editorial) with many of those whose obits are on this site. Very moving to read their stories. The obit of my late husband, Gerry Sturges, Trib reporter from 1960-1968, should be added to this collection. I'll help make that happen.
Hey Rick, It was great to see pictures of some of the people that I worked with so many years ago. I worked in the Circulation Dept for almost 10 years before leaving to go to work at UPS. I'm now retired and living in Grass Valley, California. It was sad to see all of the names of people that I worked with that are now gone. As you remember, my dad worked there as well, and we both enjoyed our time there. It was great to see all of the pictures. Keep up the good work. Howard Mordell

Hi,
I don't have a comment. I need your help. The Permanente Foundation Hospital located in Oakland, California. That is where me and my twin brother were born.I was told we were the first set of twins born there. If you could help me find any information about this I would be very thankful. Iam sure we were in the birth announcements in 1952. My email is shutterbug125@sbcglobal.net
Regarding The Oakland Tribune Employee Obituary Archive for Elton Bovey
My Papa's Obituary was extremely meaningful and made me remember why he was such an amazing man. However, i just wanted to make a few adjustments..
"Mr. Bovey is preceded in death by his brother Carroll Bovey, DAUGHTER Brenda Pixley (my mother) and amazing wife Lucille Bovey (whom he is laid to rest next to). He is Survived by his loving and devoted children; ect..... (Gale Bovey shouldn't be reference in his Obituary).
I'm wondering how far any records go back? It's my understanding that my great grandmother, Louise Rerat was a copy editor at the Tribune in the late 1880s or 1890s somewhere there about. She started working there at 18 and worked there for many years I believe. She got married to John Hill who was Alameda County Administrator so her name probably changed to Louise Hill while working there. I'm guessing she was one fo the first women to work at the Tribune? Do you know if there are any photos or records of the women who worked there in the early days?

WOW - I just discovered this website today and was really excited to see the names and faces of so many I knew when I worked at the Oakland Tribune in Classified Advertising from 1970-1978. This brings back many great memories I have of my time there and my friends whom I've missed so much. Thanks for your efforts in getting so many members of our great Oakland Tribune back together again. I would love to see them all. Barbara Azari at barbaraazari@yahoo.com
Please contact me regarding Dave Hope, reporter/political editor of the Tribune from 1937 - 1969.
Thanks,

Please add to your obituaries, sadly, the death of Mike Merriman. Mike was a sales manager for many years at The Tribune in the '80s.
, where he met his wife, Joann. His obit can be found in the CCTimes archive. He died last week. He was a lovely, lovely man.
What is the city of Oakland Ca doing? They are losing the warriors to SF, the Raiders to LA and the A's to San Jose. Do they have any idea if the consequences.
I stumbled across your site this week. On one of the photo pages, you were looking for names.
On the photo with this caption: "Help needed here. Bill Ortman, ??, ??, Leroy Medina,
Tom Furlong (back row) Rick Faller, Mike Trainor,and ??", the guy second from the left looks like the DA I had in district 716 back in 1967-69. I think his name was John? Davis. Mr Davis, for sure. He took over after "Mr. Wells" retired. I'm pretty sure that's him. A bunch of us would go downtown Sundays after our routes and get hot chocolate in the lunchroom while he did whatever it was those guys did down at the Trib Tower. I have fond memories of heading up to the "Shack" near Maxwell Park School every day for a couple years. (I couldn;t wait to turn 13 and turn in my application)! The shack eventually closed and we were stuck with boxes down on Fleming Ave near my house.

I just heard the sad news about Ted Sizelove. I was shocked and saddened when I opened my G0-Gettet news letter. We have all lost a great friend.
I had a great privilege to work with Ted and played ball with him and Dave Chapman. I remember Judy making us lunch when I came to see Ted. I consider myself so fortunate to call him my FRIEND. He was so exited about his new Grandson, who was named after him, at the luncheon.
Judy and his family are in Rosie and my prayers.
Rest in peace old friend.

I would like to see a description of how the "Tribune" typically produced an edition in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s, etc. - from news writing to editorial decision-making to layout to printing to circulation. I'd also like to see a floor-by-floor description of "Tribune Tower." What was done on each floor? Was the publisher's office high up in the tower?

When I read through the Go Getters obit section I never see any mention of the Advertising Dept. employees that have passed. Just wondering why, as there are several of us that do belong to the Go Getters group & also served on the board when the group began (ie Marilyn Barnhill). Also, is anyone collecting memorabilia from our Tribune past? I have some things I would be happy to pass along if anyone would like, I hate to see it tossed away.

Breaking Benjamin is my favourite band of 90s. Breaking Benjamin had so many hits! The ones I remember are 'The Diary of Jane', 'Tourniquet' and, of course their hit 'So Cold'. These are real songs, not fake ones like today! And it is awesome that they have a tour in 2019! And I'm going to visit Breaking Benjamin concert in 2019.

Good morning! Would love to contact Marty Fraga, long time distribution manager for the Oakland Tribune! My brothers, sister and I all had paper routes in the 70s for the Oakland Tribune and he was our manager!
Love these great pics of Oakland!!! Miss the good old days! They were the best!
Thank you - Tanzillomaria@yahoo.com
My sincere condolences to Dave Chatman's family he was a fixture of the go-getters Club. May his soul rest in peace. GOD BLESS
Dave has been one of my favorite people for a long time. He was an encourager and even with his own health problems he managed to share plenty of humor and make others feel better. He was a good singer too, and was generous with copies of his CDs. We will miss you,Dave.

The Capitol Rioters led by the Oath Keepers are reminiscent to John Brown the Abolitionist's raid on Harpers Ferry. Brown was hung to death and his Oath Keepers many killed in the battle. But His Truth Goes On, just as the Capitol Rioters truth will reign forever! It's all about Freedom of Speech as an Inalienable Right! Freedom against Slavery and Freedom of Speech is what life is all about in USA. We had to have free speech to rally the fight against slavery!!! MARK ZUCKERGERGS CENSORSHIP BUREAU is not any different from a 1950s Lunch Counter Owner refusing service to black people. Nobody in America should have any right to refuse speech that is directed by political, religious, ethnic and sexual, etc. interests. Democrats have supported slavery again just like they did in the 1800's. Freedom of Speech must be returned as a Civil Right and that is why the Capitol Riots happened. Leftist Socialists in control of the TV media, ABC, CBS, NBC & CNN have found a niche in suppressing, reducing and refusing speech from both sides of our political stories. Their direction incited men like Mark Zuckerberg to jump on the Bandwagon of Hate, and the worst kind of hate that doesn't allow freedom of speech. Totalitarian Censorship and Liberal Hate Mongers are denying truth and justice. GOD BLESS THE OATH KEEPS THE LEADERS OF FREEDOM IN AMERICA. God Bless the Capitols Rioters who may someday prove their riot to be an equivalent to the Harpers Ferry Raid. How much longer America will we tolerate Democrat Party Totalitarian Rule???
I am interested in information about Roy Boody and/or information about the Oakland Tribune Stamp Club that was apparently in existence, was associated with by Mr. Boody in the late 1940s.
Please, admins, take down Gil Lay's idiotic comments. They have no place here.
