Ralph H. Brooks

Ralph Henry Brooks, Master Sergeant U.S. Marine Corps (Retired), se-renely left us Thursday night, Aug. 30, 2007, at 9:16 p.m. at his home in Cocoa Beach, Fla., while holding the hand of his son, Beau Brooks, Lieutenant U.S. Navy, and in the company of his daughter-in-Law, Jennifer Brooks, and grandson, Chase Brooks.

Ralph was born on Oct. 23, 1925, in Bolt, W.Va., in a small house on the Blue Ridge Mountains where he grew up with his family living off of the land. Throughout his life, he was a proud American who faithfully served his country in the United States Navy on the USS Slater from June 8, 1943, through March 8, 1946, during World War 11, and the United States Marine Corps from Sept. 11, 1946, through Dec. 31, 1963, during the Korean War, where he earned the Purple Heart for wounds he received during combat.

The only thing that he loved more than his beloved Marine Corps was his family and friends, and after the recent death of his darling wife, Nancy Karen Brooks, on May 14, 2006, he was eternally heart broken.

A country boy at heart, he loved the outdoors and the beauty of nature, and he spent his remaining time with us here, gardening around his home, fishing the Banana and Indian Rivers of Florida with son, Beau, and anxiously awaiting the birth of his grandson, Chase, which he finally met on July 26, 2007, three days after his birth.

Ralph Henry Brooks was a true American hero, but most of all he was an unconditionally loving father and husband and a dear brother to William O. Brooks and Ann Hendricks, both of Beckley; Betty Sizemore of Baltimore, Md.; Don Brooks of Grafton, Ohio; and Alex Brooks of Weston. We will love and miss you always and forever, and promise to never forget what you have taught us. Please tell Nancy when you see her that we love and miss her very much, Love, Beau, Jennifer, and Chase. Semper Fi!

Graveside service will be 3 p.m. Thursday at the Sunset Memorial Park in Beckley with the Rev. David Trump officiating. Military rites will be conducted by the Post 3110 of the Oak Hill Veterans of Foreign Wars. Those wishing to attend the service are asked to meet at the cemetery.

Lewis E. Canary

MARIETTA, Ohio — Lewis E. Canary, 87, a lifelong resident of Newport Pike/Reno, went Home at 8:30 p.m. Labor Day at Heartland of Marietta, with his daughter by his side.

Born at home on June 21, 1920, he was the son of the late Richard F. and Neva Yost Canary. He attended the one-room Sandhill School and was past treasurer of their annual reunion. Graduating from Marietta High School in 1939, he went on to work at Remington Rand (Kardex), Greene Street for 39 years until retirement.

In 1950, he married Alice Davis of Pomeroy who lived only 6 short years after their marriage. They had one daughter, Cathie Canary, of Beckley, West Virginia. In 1960, he married Louise Augenstein of Coal Run, who passed in 1993. He was the last living charter member of the Marietta Bible Center, where he attended until 1965, having held the first official organizational meeting in his family home. He had a tremendous 27-year Sunday School record, having missed only 3 times from 1938-1965. He later followed the ministry of Evangelist J. Frank Peoples of Philippi, W.Va.

Early on, he was a member of the International Order of Oddfellows and a 32nd Degree Mason in the Valley of Canton, which he later discontinued and devoted himself to the support of missionaries around the globe, including the late Eileen Swartz McCoy from Marietta, who invested her entire life to the field of Mexico. In 1995, he received the Honorary Alumnus Award from Appalachian Bible College, by Alumni President the Rev. Jim Carroll, where his daughter served in administration for 21 years, and where he was a faithful volunteer and contributor.

He was a big Tiger football fan and Pioneer Softball fan and was a regular at home games. He was an annual participant of the Reno Flag Day Parade, where he still rode his 1938 Whizzer Bike. He was so impressed with Soldier Jessica Lynch that he awaited her homecoming with fresh strawberries and raspberries, which he regularly delivered to her kitchen table. He was probably best known as “The Berry Man,” who for the past 20 years raised and sold red raspberries to a faithful clientele from his home in Reno. He gained many “lady friends” among the caring nursing staff during his past 8-month stay at Heartland. They enjoyed his remaining sense of humor, especially Deborah Sandy, who considered him her special patient.

Besides his parents and wives, he was preceded in death by his two older brothers, Walter F. of Columbus in 1996, and E. Hayward of Canton in 2001. In November, he lost “Turbo,” his best feline friend of 12 years. He is survived by Walter’s wife, Melva Jane of Indianapolis; Alice’s 3 sisters and 2 brothers of Pomeroy, Elizabeth, Helen, Joyce, David and Dale Davis; plus nieces and nephews.

Service will be 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 7, McClure-Schafer Lankford Funeral Home. Friends may call 6 until 8 p.m. Thursday and one hour before the service Friday. Memorial contributions may be made to the outgoing expense fund of Miguel and Clara Yustiz, missionary appointees to Venezuela, with Baptist Mid-Missions, P.O. Box 308011, Cleveland, OH 44130.
