Anna Gunn,
age 59, formerly of Ventura, Ca., passed away on Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Anna was born June
24, 1954, to Fred and Tanny Gunn. She was the first child; trailblazing the way for her younger
siblings, John and Carol. She attended Mound Elementary School, Loma Vista Elementary
School, Anacapa Junior High School and Ventura High School. Outgoing, she was always
on-the-go and loved being with her friends. Anna got the "travel bug" in junior high school, when
travelling to Mexico with the YMCA over winter break. In high school, she lived as an exchange
student with an Austrian chocolatier and his family for a summer. Since that time, her passport
was always in date, poised and ready, so she could travel at a moment's notice. As a young girl of
five years of age, her family began the tradition of going to the Lair of the Bear (University of
California) family camp annually. Then during her summers in college, she was a Camp Gold
staffer for multiple years. After she had her family, she again returned to the Lair. She loved the
Lair and all of its traditions. (Go Bears!) Anna began her undergraduate studies at UCSB, and
then finished at UCLA, with a B.A. in Political Science. One of her favorite times in college was
attending World Campus Afloat. She travelled through Africa, India, and then Southeast Asia.
While on-board, she was selected to be part of one of the first American groups to enter China.
After she completed that trip of a lifetime, she continued both her passion for international travel
and business and obtained a M. S., in International Business, from Saint Mary's College of
California. Her first professional position was with Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays. She then
answered an ad about working abroad, and landed an expatriate position with Flexi-Van,
stationed in Singapore for nearly two years. In her free time, she again travelled throughout
Southeast Asia. She returned with Flexi-Van to a position in San Francisco. Later, she worked
for nine years for Wells Fargo Bank, with her favorite position in corporate training. In 1992, she
married and just two years later she gave birth to the joy of her life, Kevin, in 1994. Despite
being a single mother the last 10 years, she raised Kevin to be the fine young man that he is.
Anna was an exceptionally attentive and fiercely protective mother. She considered that
successfully raising Kevin to be her greatest accomplishment. In 1997, Anna was diagnosed with
late stage breast cancer. For treatment, she underwent an autologous transplant, chemo and
radiation. She did exceptionally well after a yearlong fight in fact, she did so well, everyone
thought she had beaten it completely. She returned to work when Kevin was in elementary
school. She loved her position at Springcreek Advisors, a financial consulting group, and counted
her colleagues and clients there as a second family. She joined Collins and Company in late
2011, and immediately felt as if she was a key contributor to the small firm. In summer of 2012,
she first learned her bone marrow was failing, likely due to her earlier chemo treatment for breast
cancer. After investigating her alternatives, she elected to have an allogeneic bone marrow
transplant at Stanford. Her best match was a young man, who was allergic to avocadoes which
meant she too would become allergic to avocadoes after the transplant! In January 2013, she took
a leave of absence from Collins and Company, and began the transplant process with Stanford.
She was transplanted in February, and recovered reasonably well. Unfortunately, beginning in
summer 2013, she began having additional concerning symptoms. After her health improved
somewhat in December 2013, she returned back to work for Collins and Company, the firm that
had been so generous to her and her son. Sadly, this spring, her health began to decline, and was
re-admitted to Stanford in early May. Her doctors again thought she was finally on the road to
recovery and were planning her discharge when she passed away somewhat unexpectedly. Anna
is survived by her son, Kevin Mauer. She is also survived by her sister, Carol Gunn, of
Beaverton, Oregon and her niece, Charlotte, of Washington.

Danny Elwin Gunn
February 14, 1952 - April 30, 2014
Danny Elwin Gunn, fondly called "Gunner," was born February 14, 1952, in Montpelier, Idaho,
and passed away April 30, 2014, in his home in Bennington, Idaho, surrounded by his loving
family. He is survived by his wife, DeeAnn Gunn; five children; Danielle Gunn, Jared Gunn,
Tanja Dawn (Ryan) Cornelison, Shawn Keith Gunn, and Joshua Dee (Anna) Gunn. Danny has 2
grandsons and 4 granddaughters. Danny has an uncle; Woody (Aleen) Harris, two brothers; Brent
(Erin) Kunz and Jody (Juanita) Kunz and one sister; Cynthia (Rick) Hunter and several nieces
and nephews. He was predeceased by his Father; Keith William Gunn, his Aunt; Arvella Harris,
his stepfather; Ivan Ray Kunz, and a sister Cyndia. Danny was mostly raised by his father, Keith
William Gunn, whom he loved very much. Keith made sure Danny knew how to stand on his
own two feet and work and play from dawn to dusk. Keith was quite a horseman and was able to
pass some of his special secrets to Danny. Keith also taught Danny never to lose a fight,
regardless of the time or place. Danny spent some of his childhood in Dingle, Idaho, where his
Uncle Woody taught him more about ranching, putting up hay, loving the land and running
livestock. When he was too young to work outside, his Aunt Arvella had him pump water and do
dishes for the hay crews for a dollar a day. Danny was a very intelligent, gifted individual. He
was one of those special men that could do anything and everything. He could ride a horse,
doctor animals, build fence, shoot any gun like no other, reload gun shells, and even write poetry.
He tried his best to teach his children the things he knew. His greatest loves were ranching, guns,
hunting, horses, camping up Wells Canyon, and reading. Danny retired from the Monsanto
mine located in Soda Springs, Idaho, in 2013. However, his favorite job was and always will be
ranching. He often stated his happiest days were when he was cowboying. Danny served on the
Bear Lake County Ambulance Service as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician for over
twenty years. He was also a medic for Monsanto. Danny was well known for his medical talents,
knowledge, and abilities. His children discovered it was better and cheaper to go to him for
medical and veterinary needs. Danny's family loved and respected him. They are proud of the
legacy he stood for and passed to them. He, along with his knowledge and advice, are going to be
greatly missed. Prior to his death, he was just a phone call away for advice and guidance. We, as
a family, are already missing that phone. Friends may call at Schwab-Matthews Mortuary

Ponce de Leon Avenue, said Toni Gunn, his wife of 18 years. He eventually moved to Smyrna,
where he had been practicing for the past 30 years. “He didn’t like to see people in pain,” said
Sanders. “He liked to see big pretty smiles on the faces of his patients and employees.” Gunn
treated his staff like family, the medical technician said. He was always willing to help each of
them through personal and professional issues. “That’s why the junior member of our team have
been here somewhere around 10 years,” Sanders said. “He was a really good man and football
weekends are going to be pretty hard around here for a little while, I think.” In addition to his
daughter and second wife, Gunn is survived by his children from his first marriage, sons, Dr. Earl
W. “Cody” Gunn III and Neal Michael Gunn, both of Athens; daughters, Susan McKinney Gunn
of Cumming and Bortle’s twin sister, Lee Ellis Gunn Armour, of Newnan; and seven

Floyd S. "Ben" Gunn,
80, longtime resident of Fort Worth, passed away peacefully Monday, March 31, 2014,
surrounded by his family and friends. Memorial service: 11 a.m. Friday at Broadway Baptist
Church, the Rev. Brent Beasley and Dr. Jorene Swift officiating. Memorials: In lieu of flowers,
Ben's family requests that donations be made to Broadway Baptist Church, 305 W. Broadway
Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76104; The James L. West Center, 1111 Summit Ave., Fort Worth,
Texas 76102; or Cook Children's Medical Center, 801 Seventh Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76104.
Ben was born June 21, 1933, in Longview to Ruth and Willis Gunn. He was the youngest of
three children. Ben acquired his preferred nickname (based on the "Treasure Island" character) at
the Masonic Home of Fort Worth, where he went to live as a young boy following the untimely
death of his father. Ben often spoke with pride about his life at the Masonic Home, often lovingly
referring to himself and fellow attendees as "orphans," or "orphs," for short. Ben played football
on the well-known Masonic Home "Mighty Mites" football team. Upon leaving the Masonic
Home, Ben enrolled at TCU and began his lifelong career in banking as an evening bookkeeper
at Continental National Bank. Ben met his longtime friend and future business partner, Jim
Murray, at this time. After a short stint in the Army toward the end of the Korean War, Ben
returned to Continental Bank and rose through the management ranks to the position of senior
vice president. Along with Jim Murray and a group of investors, Ben formed Summit National
Bank, which opened for business in 1975. The bank grew into a multi-bank holding company
that eventually became Summit Bancshares. Through shrewd business practices, Ben and his
fellow executive management team led the Summit Bank organization through the 1980s'
banking crisis, the worst to hit the Texas banking system since the Great Depression. Summit
Bancshares exited this tumultuous period intact and continued to flourish in the years after Ben's
retirement in 1997. He remained an active board member of Summit Bancshares until its sale to
Frost Bank in 2006. Always a banker and a believer in personal business relationships, Ben
retained an office at the bank where he continued to enjoy occasional visits from former
customers and business associates. Ben was known for his sense of humor and a love of practical
jokes. One year, readers of the Star-Telegram noted with humor a particularly paltry donation
made by Ben in the name of a good friend to the Goodfellow Fund, "in lieu of Christmas cards."
Always a connoisseur of fine dining in the seemingly unlikeliest of places, Ben and a group of
business associates were known to eschew formal business lunches, preferring instead to visit
out-of-the-way "greasy spoon" restaurants. Even though he was fond of such off-beat dining, Ben
pursued a rigorous physical fitness regimen in his later years. He was well known at All Saints
Hospital's Carter Rehabilitation Center for his visits several times a week to vigorously pursue
his cardiovascular workout goals. In his spare time, Ben was an avid crossworder, preferring to
solve the New York Times crossword puzzle in ink. He and his wife loved to travel, and they
enjoyed multiple European trips. Ben had a generous spirit, thrived on human connection and
built a beloved network of friends. Throughout his career, he enjoyed philanthropic efforts
including serving United Way, TCU, Broadway Baptist Church and Baylor All Saints Hospital.
Survivors: His wife of 56 years, Johnnie Bean Gunn; sons, Tim and David; daughter-in-law,
Kelly Soter-Gunn; grandchildren, Helen and Benjamin Gunn; and several nieces and nephews.

the group and its squadrons were soon transferred to an expanded facility at Lake Charles, La.
Some took their underpowered biplanes to war. Others simply bit their fingernails and continued
to train would-be pilots, Mr. Gunn recalled. Born in Scotland and reared in this country, he
was a regular at the annual reunions of the Essington Air Service Group. A small man with
glasses that regularly threatened to slide down his hawk-like nose, he calculated last year that he
had missed only "one or two" since the first reunion was held in 1919. He was able to attend the
most recent reunion, held in June. He was the oldest of the dozen members who made it. After
the war, Mr. Gunn had worked at his profession, eventually joining the DuPont Co. as a design
engineer. He retired in 1961. He was a Mason and a member of the United Methodist Church.
Surviving are his daughters, Jean Dunn and Helen Irwin; two grandsons, and two sisters.

Boonville, Ind. - The City of Boonville and Warrick County lost a legend and an icon when
Harold Gunn, 75, went to be with his mother and father on Monday, January 27, 2014, at
Transcendent Healthcare in Boonville. Harold often took care of several businesses on the
square in his younger days. He is probably best remembered for blowing the noon whistle at the

pastimes was sitting in the security office in the Judicial Center and making sure everyone
obeyed the rules. If not, he was sure to write you up in his little black book. His favorite greeting
to one and all was always "ain't we buddies." Harold is survived by his half-sister, Ruth
Weathers of Winslow, his brother Charles (Charlotte) of Boonville; nieces, Stacy Tevault (Kirk)
of Lynnville, Shirley Schum and Roseann; nephews Gregory Gunn of California, Kenny, Danny

and into the arms of his heavenly Father. John was a man of honor, pride, and integrity. He was a
dedicated Marine, community advocate, and devoted family man. He faithfully served his country,
his church, and his community. He fought his debilitating dementia with laughter, a kind heart, and
strength of character, fitting of a Marine. He will forever be in our hearts. John was born and raised
in Chicago, IL and graduated from Morgan Park High School. He received a bachelor's degree in
journalism from Monmouth College in Illinois. He was a 40-year career newspaperman, with 26
years in news and 14 years in sports with newspapers in Monmouth and Galesburg, IL, Wilmington,

The Orange County, CA Register in Santa Ana, CA in 1994. John was the co-author of the Virginia
1968 Freedom of Information Act and received the George Mason Award from the Richmond Sigma
Delta Chi. He was the only editor on duty at The Richmond News Leader the day JFK was

hours later. Through the years, he interviewed politicians, sports legends, celebrities, and military
heroes. A retired Marine Corps Reserve colonel, he served two years on active duty at Quantico,
VA, Cherry Point (where he met his wife Joan), and New River, NC. He spent 28 years in the
Reserves with units in Illinois, Virginia, and California. When John retired to Gulf Breeze in 1995,
the newsman continued to write stories for the Pensacola News Journal, the Gulf Breeze Sentinel,
the Pensacola Beach Islander, and published the monthly newsletter of the Military Officers
Association of America. He loved his Gulf Breeze community and served as chairman of the Gulf
Breeze Development Review Board. He was a tireless American Red Cross volunteer, working
around the clock during numerous hurricanes. He was the local chapter's Volunteer of the Year in
1998. John was a faithful member of Calvary Chapel of Gulf Breeze, and his smiling face was at the
door greeting members on many Sundays. John combined his love of sports and the Marine Corps
by authoring two books on Marine Corps football. Over decades, John collected and saved
professional, college, and military sporting news. His collection primarily focused on memorabilia
from college and professional football and basketball, and also military football game-day programs
from the WWII era. His collection, one of the largest sports collections in the country, was donated
to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where it continues today to be a research tool for
journalists and sportswriters. John is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 56 years, Joan Gunn,
and his parents Alan and Clara Gunn. He is survived by four of God's finest children: Laura

Kevin Eldred Gunn
Beloved Brother, Fun-loving Uncle, Friend and "Our Hero" HOYTSVILLE, Utah - On June 30,
2013, after a courageous battle with Cancer, Kevin E. Gunn was called to his home in heaven to be
greeted by his Heavenly Father and loved ones. Kevin left this earthly life surrounded by family.
Kevin E. Gunn was born on February 17, 1958, in East Chicago, Indiana, to his parents, H. LaMarr
and Winona Gunn. Kevin had many experiences throughout his life for service and sharing his
talents. Kevin loved life and the challenges and joys that it brought to him. He cared about and loved
others and love was given in return. Kevin dedicated his time, energy and effort to making others
happy, not thinking of himself. He loved watching and participating in sports, such as basketball in
high school, church basketball and umpiring softball games for the city of Coalville. As the umpire,
he gained respect from his peers and others, as Kevin was stalwart in his decisions of the game. He
enjoyed the excitement of the game and the people involved. The outdoors was another enjoyment
where Kevin would bask in God's creations on the mountains hunting or relaxing. He loved life and
what it meant for him. He loved working with his hands with leather, woodworking and technology.
He shared his talent with others. Kevin worked at many different jobs. Some of those jobs included
construction, sheetrock worker, retail, computer operator and Smith's department manager. He was
respected and admired by many. He liked these times for sharing, playing or just goofing off. Kevin
gave of himself freely to make others happy and expected nothing in return. This experience started
in 1976, when he graduated from high school and his Grandmother Gunn asked him to come to Utah
from California and live with her, due to the recent passing of Grandfather Gunn. He made many
sacrifices for others but still was able to enjoy life and make vacation trips to California and other
sites. He was preceded in death by his parents; older brother, Christian H. Gunn (Covina, Calif.); his
brothers Theras Gunn and his wife, Carol (Lehi, Utah), Craig Gunn and his wife, Audrie (Pocatello,
Idaho), and Trent Gunn and his wife, Yvette (Brigham City, Utah); loving sister Marlys Stevens
(Hoytsville, Utah); and sister-in-law Barbara Gunn (Covina, Calif.). The funeral services will be
held on Saturday, July 6, at 11:00 a.m. at the Hoytsville LDS Church in Hoytsville, Utah. The
viewing will be Friday, July 5, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 pm. and one hour prior to the services on
Saturday. Burial will be at the Hoytsville Cemetery under the direction of Walker Mortuary. The
family wishes to give a big thank you to the Applegate Hospice Caregivers for their loving care for

early to enlist in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Pegi served at a recruiting station in her

Margaret M. Gunn,
Muskegon, Chronicle - age 73, went to be with her Lord on Friday, November 29, 2002, following a
short illness. She was born June 11, 1929 to David and Bessie Herbert, and lived her entire life in the
West Michigan area. Margaret came from humble beginnings. Her family was broken up by
unfortunate circumstances when she was very young, and she spent most of her youth in a series of
foster homes, sometimes doing odd jobs in exchange for room and board. But instead of allowing the
experience to make her bitter, she learned to understand other people and the difficulties and
handicaps they faced. She took those wonderful qualities into her marriage to Gordon Gunn in 1950.
She blessed her husband and six children with patience and unconditional love for the rest of her life.
Margaret was a giver who was always more concerned about her family and friends than she was
about herself. She displayed that caring on Dec. 23, 1996, when she went from her husband's funeral
in the afternoon, to a department store at night, so she could finish her Christmas shopping and make
sure everyone had a gift under the tree from Mom. Margaret also shared her kindness with animals,
particularly her cats. She treated her four-legged friends with the same respect she showed people.
Besides her two beloved house cats, she provided a home in her garage to strays who found their way
to her doorstep. They started out wild, but by the time they got a dose of Margaret's tender care, they
were tame, fat and lovable. A kitten that was born to one of her ``garage cats'' became terribly ill one
day, and Margaret sat up overnight nursing the tiny creature back to health, before giving it to one of
her sons as a special gift. All creatures seemed to respond to her gentle touch, instinctively knowing
they were dealing with a tender soul who only wanted to help. Margaret's caring was not reserved for
people she knew. Even as she struggled with her own health in her later years, she volunteered to visit
other seniors who were confined to their homes by physical problems. Margaret also had a spirited
side to her personality. To the end of her life, she attended Reeths-Puffer High School football games,
cheering on her beloved Rockets in all kinds of weather. She also rooted passionately for the Detroit
Red Wings, Detroit Tigers and Republican Party. Even as she lay in pain during her final days in the
hospital, she talked enthusiastically about Red Wings games that were coming up on television.
Margaret was also blessed with a green thumb. Many of the huge trees that shade her yard today
began as tiny twigs in the back field that she transplanted and nurtured to maturity. While her body
was weathered and beaten by years of bad health, her spirit remained young and untamed. She faced
difficulty and disease with courage and determination, much to the amazement of everyone. She did
not go quietly into that dark night. She truly raged against the dying of the light, grasping for every
last minute of enjoyment she could possibly get from life. Margaret's death leaves a huge hole in the
lives of those who loved her. But those who loved her are better people because of the caring she
invested in them. She wouldn't want us to be sad about her death. She would want us to be happy,
because our happiness was always the key to her happiness. Margaret was a member of Unity United
Methodist Church. SURVIVORS She is survived by her brothers, Clarence and Robert Herbert; sons,
Danny Gunn, Donald Gunn, Gregory (Sandra) Gunn and Steven Gunn; daughters, Diane Klug and
Kathy Kroll; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and special daughter Cyndi Shultz. She
was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon; sister, Lillian and grandson, Christopher. SERVICE

Marion Elizabeth Gunn
Marion Elizabeth, born October 2, 1917, to James and Marian Gunn, completed her earthly journey
October 28, 2009. Her 92 years on the earth were marked with tremendous achievement. She earned a
masters degree from the University of South Florida and taught in Hillsborough County Schools for
over 30 years. She influenced and inspired all of her students, but undoubtedly impacted the entire
program when she taught a former Hillsborough County School Superintendent in elementary school.
She possessed such a compelling smile that could only be fashioned from a joyful soul. Her "true grit
nature" and "no nonsense approach" to life personified strength and vitality. In 92 years, she had not
become a relic, but rather a classic, the kind of rarity that makes one stop in awe and say "they don' t
make ' em like that anymore." She never complained of life' s injustices, but she was a constant
encouragement. She possessed an impeccable memory for which she used to memorize and quote
scripture. "She was without a doubt, one of the Godliest people. Her life was a masterpiece of virtue
that will serve as an inspiration to all those knew and loved her." Services will take place at 11 a.m.
Monday, November 2, 2009, at the Sun City Funeral Home.

Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many, Mary was born in San Jose, CA
on March 9, 1919 to Joseph and Irene Quilty Kerwin. She and her two older brothers, Jack and
Charles Kerwin grew up in Oakland, attending Our Lady of Lourdes Grammar School and Oakland
High School. In 1940 she married Robert Viggo Gunn and made her home in the Bay Area, raising
two daughters, Sister Sally Gunn and Sue Ewald. In 1966 Mary and Bob moved to Reno. There she
joined the Little Flower Church and not only became a member of the choir, but recruited her
grandchildren to help her create a “Casino Night” as an annual fundraiser for the Church. She also
joined the Women’ s Boutique at Our Lady of Snows during this time. Later they moved to Sparks
where she attended Holy Cross Church and became an active participant in their RCIA program. After
Bob’s death, Mary finally realized her dream of travel and adventure and spent the next few years
with friends and family, going wherever her spirit moved her - from Branson, Missouri to England
and Scotland, with many places in between. Mary moved to Minden Nevada in 2001 to live with her
daughter Sue and her son-in-law Hans who have lovingly cared for Mom ever since. While in Minden
she became active in St. Gall Catholic Church and the Douglas County Senior Center. Mom’s
friendliness and positive spirit touched many lives. She loved gathering with friends and most of all,
loved her family. She made frequent trips to the convents where Sally lived and kept up with many of
the Sisters of the Holy Names. Her love of music and her beautiful voice, filled our lives with many
magical moments. She will live forever in our hearts and mind, and will be greatly missed by her
daughters, her grandchildren, George Tolon, Stephanie and Ken Burger, Jenny Holaday, Carmen
Ewald and Monique Anderson, and by her great-grandchildren Megan, JP, Jessica, Makenzie, Mary
Scout, Jake, Joel, Cody, Tony, Brandon, and Chynna. She is reunited with her husband Bob, her
great-grandson Landon, her brother Jack, her brother Chuck and sister-in-law Ruth, her father, and at
long last, her Mother, Mimi. She has inspired us all by her unwavering faith and her unconditional
love. What a blessing we all have had by her presence in our lives. We will gather to celebrate her
extraordinary life on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 11:00am at St. Gall Catholic Church, 1343
Centerville Lane, Gardnerville, NV. In lieu of flowers, donations to Mary’s memory may be made to

San Antonio Light - Bexar County, Texas - February 22, 1909 - Mrs. Martha E. Gunn, aged 76
years, died at 3 o'clock yesterday morning at the home of her adopted grandchild, Mrs. W. H. Hagy.
She had been a resident of this city for 22 years, was a native of Georgia, but came to Texas when
very young and settled near Columbus. Mrs. Gunn is survived by two brothers, W. R. Turner of

Martha Jane Johnson Gunn
died on the 12th of January 1863 in the town of Manchester, Virginia, Mrs. Martha Jane Gunn in
her twenty-fourth year, consort of J. Freeman Gunn and daughter of Josiah Johnson of Nottoway
County, Virginia. The deceased leaves behind a kind and affectionate husband with whom she
has lived so happily for seven years; one little daughter too young to appreciate the loss she has
sustained; also a devoted father, brothers, and sisters, and many friends to share their irreparable
loss. A little more than two years ago Mr. & Mrs. Gunn moved from Nottoway County to
Manchester and engaged in business that enabled them to do well and would have succeeded in
their plan to rear and educate children had it pleased Providence to spare them. Man may plan
but God frustrates. In the fall of 1862 they were called on to follow the remains of one of their
little ones to its grandfather’s and so consigned it to its final resting place. Shortly after
Christmas she was stricken with small pox and destined with no return. Then their sprightly little
boy was stricken with that most loathsome malady, around whose couch father toiled and did all
that paternal affection could prompt to no avail. Thus is a very brief period this little family have
been and summoned off from the cares and troubles of this unfriendly world. Mrs. Gunn made a
profession of religion some four years ago and united herself to the Baptist church and we have
little doubt her exit is from doom to glory. Date: Saturday, May 2, 1863 Paper: Richmond

Vincent Robert Gunn
Vincent "Vinnie" Gunn was a gentle soul, a quiet warrior, and a peaceful brother to many. On
January 28, 2014, at the age of 23, he lost his long battle with cancer and died in his Chico home
surrounded by his family. Vinnie was born on April 12, 1990 in Napa, CA to Ronald and Kathleen
(Wheelan) Gunn. He lived his first ten years in Napa and attended St. Apollinaris School. In 2000,
Vinnie and his family moved to Durham, CA where he attended the Durham schools. He graduated
from Durham High School in 2008. As a percussionist in the school band for many years, he
developed a love for music and taught himself to play guitar, mandolin, ukulele, and the didgeridoo.
He was a talented artist and especially loved creating pieces with spray paint. Traveling, gardening
and spending time outdoors, especially at the beach, and cheering for the San Francisco Giants were
some of Vinnie's other loves. When Vinnie was 16, he became interested in Buddhism and eventually
became a passionate follower of the Buddhist faith. He was deeply involved at the Sky Creek Darmha
Center in Chico, CA. Through the Darmha Center, his family grew to include many loving friends
who helped him to grow and learn and who were a tremendous support to him in this life. Throughout
his life, Vinnie enjoyed immersing himself in new places and cultures. His favorite excursions
included a family trip to Italy, retreats to The Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in Carmel Valley, an
adventure to Burning Man, and many camping trips throughout Northern California. He had plans to
travel to many other destinations, including Dharamsala, India. Vinnie was a beloved son, brother,
uncle, and partner. He leaves behind his parents, Ron and Kathy Gunn; his sister and brother-in-law,
Sara and Jeff Simmons; his brother, Oliver Gunn; his nephews, Owen and Griffin Simmons; and his
long-time girlfriend, Taylor Malinowski. His grandparents and many aunts, uncles, and cousins were
also an important part of his journey. His "Grammy," Rena Tennant, was influential in guiding him to
a life of kindness, curiousity, and love. There was always room for more love in Vinnie's heart--If he
knew you, you were part of his family. A celebration of Vinnie's life will be held on Saturday,
February 1, at noon at Manzanita Place (Elks Lodge) at 1705 Manzanita Avenue in Chico. Online line
condolences can be sent to BrusieFH.com Donations can be made in Vinnie's name to Sky Creek

William “Bill” Chester Gunn,
84, died May 7, 2014, in Scottsdale, Ariz. A former creative director for a Chicago advertising
agency and resident of Wheaton, Ill., he was a long-time summer resident of Pentwater. He and his
first wife, Barbara “Barb” Weinard, and their five children, Jeffrey, Matthew, Susan, Sarah and Hayes
began renting the “Tweedy” cottage in 1964, when Pentwater still had its own movie theater,
commercial fishermen and fresh trout restaurants like the Driftwood Inn. After a decade of four-week
stays, he and Barb built their own cottage in Garrison Park in 1974, on a bluff overlooking the great
lake, where the family resided throughout the summers. Bill was born Sept. 16, 1929, and was raised
in Oak Park, Ill. He attended IIT’s Institute of Design, graduating in 1952. He studied design,
photography and graphic art under Buckminster Fuller, Aaron Siskind and Emerson Woelffer. He
began painting, and from 1950 to 1952 he exhibited his abstract expressionistic works frequently,
including at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Los Angeles Art Institute in La Brea. In 1952, Bill
was drafted into the army, where he served in the White House decoding encrypted messages. His
first wife, also of Oak Park, Ill., worked in the Pentagon as a secretary. Having married a year earlier,
it was during this time that they began their family. FFollowing an honorable discharge from the
army, Bill began work in the advertising field. He was hired as an art director by Leo Burnett Co. in
1959 and later became a creative director, the first to be promoted in Chicago for what was then
considered a writer’s position. He became a vice president of the agency in 1973. He was involved in
many iconic ad campaigns, including Phillip Morris’ “Marlboro Man,” Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.’s
“you only go around once in life, so grab for all the gusto you can get,” and United Airline’s “fly the
friendly skies of United.” In 1985, Barb died at home in St. Charles, Ill., and was buried in the
Pentwater Cemetery, along with their sixth child, Ross, who died following birth in 1958 and was
re-interred. In 1988, Bill met Elizabeth “Betsy” Long of St. Charles, Ill., a critical-care nurse, married
her, and in 1990, having retired, moved with her to Scottsdale, Ariz. But they returned to the family
cottage every year to spend the summer and early fall in Pentwater. During his long retirement, Bill
was involved in several volunteer organizations, for which he often wrote advertising campaigns pro
bono. He also returned to painting, creating scores of works. Bill is survived by his wife, Betsy; his
five children, 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; and his sister, Nadine Fisher. A private
memorial service is scheduled in Pentwater June 21. Regards will be gratefully received by his wife at
7328 E. Rockview Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85266. Contributions may be made in Bill’s memory to

and the great lake, which he swam every day he was there. As Betsy has had inscribed on his cross, he
is even now taking “a wonderful swim, to where Lake Michigan meets Heaven” – which, presumably,
is not far off Pentwater’s shore. (Jasper Gunn descendant)
