Robert (Rob) Budweg Hans, Jr. age 76 passed away July 28, 2022 at his family home with his wife Jo by his side in Hunters, WA. He was born July 28, 1946 in Lewiston, ID to Robert Hans Budweg, Sr. and Phyllis Andrews Budweg. Rob graduated from South Salem High School in Oregon in 1965. He continued his studies at Oregon State University for one year in the field of Geology then Lane Community College studying Psychology and Social Science. From 1969-1971 he attended the University of Oregon (GO Ducks!) majoring in education. Rob's first teaching job was in Craigmont, Idaho from 1971-1973. While teaching he completed graduate school during the summer of 1971 and attended the University of Idaho in the summer of 1972. His first daughter Lisa Marie was born on December 21, 1973 in Springfield, Oregon. Rob always looked forward to his time with Lisa during Spring and summer vacation and their road trips to the ocean. Rob completed his masters in Energy & Conservation with Math and Reading endorsements at the University of Oregon from 1974-1978. There were times during his college career Rob lived out of his car to put himself through school. He was proud of how far he had come in his life. Rob's next teaching job was in Drain, Oregon where he taught math for grades fourth through eighth and initiated the chess club at North Douglas School District. He also served as the summer program and swimming director at the city pool. In 1978 while Rob was visiting his family in Edgewood, WA he rented a Thunderbird from Jo at Dollar Rent A Car. He continued to talk to his dad about the girl he rented the car from. Finally, his dad offered to rent the car for an additional day so Rob could take her to dinner. The rest as they say is "history." Rob and Jo married on March 17, 1979. Their daughter Jennifer Barlynn was born on May 14, 1980 in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Very few babies were being born on that day and the nurses enjoyed taking the time to style her hair. Shortly after her birth Mt. Saint Helen's blew! Jen-Jen enjoyed going to Boy Scout outings and basketball camps with Rob. In 1980 they moved to North Franklin School District in Connell, WA where Rob was a Title I reading instructor and wrestling coach. In the late spring of 1981 he, Jo, and their daughter Jenny traveled to Hunters, WA to interview for a teaching position. The first thing he said when driving into Hunters was, "Wow this would be the perfect place for Boy Scouts." He interviewed with Superintendent Roy Graffis and at the close of his interview Roy stated, "We have some trailers you can look at for living arrangements, you have 20 minutes to give me your decision." Luckily, Diane Benson referred them to a house for rent. The Budwegs leased from Babe and Smitty Smith for three years until given the option to purchase. During that time, Melinda Jo (Mouse) was born on March 30, 1983 in Spokane, WA. Jo's doctor insisted she was having a boy; this is before ultrasounds were common. Ironically, Mindy has the infamous Budweg bent pinky that is prevalent in the men of the family. Rob was all about teaching his girls to be independent women. At the tender age of seven, he taught Mindy how to run the rototiller and lawnmower. Some of her fondest memories were huckleberry picking, venturing the woods, and working outside with her dad. On May 7, 1985, Sharon Arlene entered the scene at Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, WA. Sharon was a very easy baby who loved to eat and sleep. Rob called Sharon Bear-Bear (even while she was his student in 5th grade) and that nickname still follows her to this day. Rob truly loved his girls and was genuinely interested in their lives, work and family. During his entire career at Columbia he was passionate about supporting students both in sports and education. Rob was involved in Boy Scouts, coaching, swimming instruction, Water District Commissioner, Fire District Volunteer, a Notary Public, and the 2002-2003 Grand Master of Odd Fellows in the State of Washington. Rob made it his goal to visit every Odd Fellows Lodge in the state. Some of his fondest memories include traveling to see family in Michigan, going to the Oregon Coast, rock hounding, gardening, and most of all family gatherings. Rob's wife, children, grandchildren, pups, and garden were the pride and joy of his life. Rob was an amazing husband, dedicated father, grandfather, brother, uncle, educator, and community member. He was a forgiving and kind man who always had time for conversation. His passion for education, chess, sports, ancestry, and most of all family time will live on through family, former students, and friends. One of Rob's favorite sayings as visitors left was, (Don't take any wooden nickels), so make sure to check your change. Rob is preceded in death by his younger brother Fred Budweg, father Robert Hans Budweg Sr., mother Phyllis Andrews Budweg, and granddaughter Laurelai. Rob is survived by his wife of 43 years Jo (Jo-Jo) Budweg, daughters Lisa, Jen, Mindy (Mouse), and Sharon (Bear-Bear).

It is with great love and deep sadness that we announce the passing of John Harris. John was born on July 10, 1954, in Montgomery, Alabama. When his father was assigned to Elmendorf Air Force Base, the family settled in Anchorage, Alaska. John adored his family and had countless stories about his childhood. Anchorage has always been John’s hometown, and his dear friends there were like family to him. From a young age, when John decided he wanted to do something, he did it. At 20, he enlisted in the Navy and had the extraordinary experience of serving on the USS Midway during the evacuation of Saigon. Upon his return to Anchorage, he was asked to join a trail crew for Chugach State Park and was thrilled to eventually become a Chugach State Park Ranger. His fellow rangers from the early 1980's ("The Glory Years" ) will forever be his brothers. In 1980, John married Vickie Arnold (Harris), in Anchorage, and in 1981 they happily welcomed John’s first child, John. In 1989, John married Kathryn Eitner (Harris), in Spokane. In 1991, John’s second son, Dylan, was born, and in 1992 John’s daughter, Hilary, arrived to complete his family. John’s love for his three kids was endless, and nothing made him happier than to witness their happiness and successes. He was a wonderful father, and they will miss him terribly. John was an endurance athlete. His running career began in his early 20’s, and he competed in numerous events, including multiple marathons and one ultramarathon. He loved to run. In the mid 80's he moved to San Diego and literally dove into the triathlon scene, which of course required learning how to swim. He competed in countless triathlons, up to the half Ironman distance. His wife Kathryn was his training partner from the beginning of their relationship, and, after the kids finished high school, his fellow competitor. In recent years, he pondered the question of whether he ran to live, or lived to run. Running made John feel healthy and happy and fulfilled, especially during the last six years of his life when he was completely blind. The courage and grace with which John responded to his blindness and serious medical challenges, and in particular his commitment to keep running and keep happy, was an inspiration to many. John earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from San Diego State University in 1987, and his Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Eastern Washington University in 1994. His professional life was multi-faceted and he was highly successful and well-loved in all his careers, including Chugach State Park Ranger, loan officer at First National Bank of Anchorage, chemical dependency counselor, mental health counselor in private practice, clinical director for Pioneer Human Services at Pioneer Center East, and director of Eleanor Chase and Brownstone work release facilities, both through Pioneer Human Services. The family appreciates the outpouring of love and support from so many of John’s coworkers during his recent years of illness and upon his passing. John was preceded in death by his infant sister Janis, his father Ollie, his mother Delena, and his older brother Jim. He is survived by his wife Kathryn, his son John, his son Dylan and fiancée Sydnie Gardner, his daughter Hilary Hausmann and husband John, his brother Gerry and sister Sharon, and many beloved nephews, nieces, and in-laws.
