in memoriam …

Kate Steinle – July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kathryn “Kate” Steinle was shot and killed while walking with her father and a friend along Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district of San Francisco. The guy that fired the shot that killed  her (José Inez García Zárate of Guanajuato, Mexico, was an illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. a total of five times, most recently in 2009).  And he got off scott free.   Last words from Kate to her father, “I am dying” … so sad for what happened to a human being killed by an “illegal migrant”.

Clarance Towers.  (1943 – 2021)  Photographer – His Rodeo images are on the wall in the Jazz room on 3rd St in the Bayview.  

Richard Bolingbroke – (1952-2024)  An Artist at the Hunters Point Shipyard … nice guy and will be missed.

Halyna Hutchins (b. 1979 d. 2021 age 42) shot by Alex Baldwin on the set of his movie “Rust.” So sad.
