TUCKFELT KATHLEEN BYRNES (RAHUBA) Most beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend, passed away Saturday, September 16, 2017. Those of us who knew and loved her benefited from her humor and her counsel. She was never too busy to talk to her family and many friends who needed her help and guidance; never too tired to take her grandchildren on new and exciting adventures; no matter what challenges she may have faced, she always enjoyed a laugh and could find something positive in any situation. She was the heart of her family, a place people went for good food and great conversation. She leaves a void that can never be filled, and we will miss her every day of our lives. She is survived by the love of her life, her husband of almost 30 years, Steven Tuckfelt; her children, John Demko (partner, Toni Morrison), Stacie Demko (partner, Tim McCann) and Jeremy Tuckfelt (wife, Alexis Tuckfelt); grandchildren, Miles Demko, Marley Tuckfelt and Ruth Tuckfelt; siblings, Bartley Rahuba, Mary Edna Rahuba and Bill Rahuba; and many many cousins and friends.

GETH FRANK JOSEPH Frank Joseph Geth, age 91, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 13, 2017, at his home in Templeton, CA. He was born in Broughton, Pennsylvania in January 1926 to Anna and John Geth. Frank was raised by his mother after his father, and Grandfather, were killed in the Horning Pennsylvania coal mine explosion and fire in February 1926 when Frank was only one month old. He grew up tough and strong-willed and in 1943 (a month after turning 17) he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps after forging his mother's signature; Frank participated in the Palau Islands Operation, specifically in combat and as a top communications lineman on Peleliu. In the communications forum, life expectancy (per Frank) was 30 seconds on the pole. But survive he did. Two months prior to his discharge in December 1945, he was back in his hometown and met the "love of his life", a petite, feisty brunette (Bette Cingel) who would be his forever lifelong partner and soulmate for 66 and a half years. They married in April of 1947 and settled in Pittsburgh, PA and had three children. In 1961 they decided to relocate to California and settled in Simi Valley to start a new life, where Frank worked at Rocketdyne (rocket engine design and production Co.) 1961-1966; then moved on to Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, as an electrical engineer, until his retirement in 1986. Upon retirement, he and his wife moved to Templeton and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the beautiful area (which is much like the early days of Simi Valley). Frank, never one to sit still, enjoyed helping others and building or making something, whether it was his docent work at Hearst Castle or utilizing his amazing skills of masonry, carpentry, and electrical work. Frank is survived by his daughter, three grandchildren and three great- grandchildren. A service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 26, 2017, at the Old Mission San Miguel, officiated by Father Pedro Umana. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
