RICHARD "GREG" HASSEY October 3, 1941 ~ August 18, 2016 Richard "Greg" Hassay (Oct 3, 1941-Aug 18,2016) was born in Corning, CA to George and Geraldine Branham Hassay. He attended Corning Union High, and was an ac- complished athlete. Greg lived life with an infectious quality about him that made you want to be a better per- son & enjoy the moment. To Greg, there never was a stranger. He believed in working hard, and in enjoying life, balancing the two like few can, living each day to its fullest. He believed family and friends came first, and that you shouldn't try to change people but accept them for who they were. He was an avid fisherman, hunter, and golfer. He loved his ranch in Richfield, from his walnut orchard to the massive garden he planted each year. Greg loved to do community service and found his love in the volunteer fire department, serving 42 years of dedicated service. He was always ready to respond to a fire whether local or out of county, loved doing the yearly Christmas toy drive distribution, and treasured the friendships he built with his comrades in uniform over the years. Greg is preceded in death by father, George Hassay, his brother, Mike Hobgood, & mother, Jere Hobgood. He is survived by his life partner of 27 years, Rusty (Lola) Wil- liams of Richfield, CA; his sister, Cheryl (Leslie) Sutfin of Corning, CA; stepmother, Patty Hassay of Corning, CA; as well as his children from his marriage to Bonnie Hassay: daughters Shannon Hassay Ortland of San Francisco, CA, and Shaunna (Corey) Rossman and their children, son Chase and daughters Mia and Maddux of Redding, CA; son Rich (Diane) Hassay, and his son Kaiden, daughter Kylee and stepdaughters Sosie and Abby O'Sullivan, of Red Bluff, CA; two nieces and one nephew, as well as his life partner's numerous children and grandchildren who adored him. Burial will be a private family service. The family wel- comes all to Greg's viewing, which will be held on Fri- day, August 26th from 4 -7pm at Hall Bros Mortuary, 902 5th St. Corning, CA as well as to a Celebration of Life Me- morial, to be held Saturday, August 27th at 11 a.m. at Corning Fire Dept., 814 5th St. Corning, CA.

A lead article is rotated weekly among the denominations and surrounded by endorsements from local merchants. I would guess it is the least read section of the paper (right after this column, of course)…at least by young people. That's because the young look for action to stimulate their agendas…and there is little of that in the usual staid church services. Sources say there are churches that put on quite a show with speaking in tongues, rolling on the floor, snake handling and the like…but the programs are usually se- date, orderly pre-ordained and rather dull for impatient youths. Parents will want their children to get the right religious start by enrollingthem in Sunday School, but unless forced to attend regularly, this schooling may not carry over into regular church activities later in life. However, what if new churches come along designed for contemporary entertainment? The latest issue of LIFE magazine reports on just that: The Rock and Roll Church! It may be bringing in the young in droves! This may smack of gross sacrilege, but as I recall, churches were once centers of small town social activities. Perhaps they can revive tis custom via contemporary entertainment. … No vember 1966: I hope all those molders of public opinion…editors, columnists etc. took their defeat as gracefully as did our editor McGiffin. To a man they predicted the failure of the conservatives (i.e. Republicans)…and even one of the Unions took out a full page adv. and piously filled in the blanks for voters needing guidance. Thankfully members and others followed their own dictates. That spirit should keep us all voting for quite a while to come. … Reading Joe Hyman's biography of Humphrey Bogart, I note that most of the photos of the movie tough guy show him smok- ing a cigarette….and you remember what he died of,don't you? … A Maxwell Anderson play on PBS, The Star Wagon" had a char- acter named Steve Minch. Well, we Minch's do get around to a certain extent but seldom in this venue. … The rains came at last and soothed the hot brow of the land. The Oak trees were able to shake away their dusty brown leaf mantle and settle down to a moist winter's rest. The horses stood out away from the barn and rinsed the summer sweat from their backs. The chickens did a lot of squawking and flap- ping but they also stood out in the rain for quite a while…long enough for the white ones to look like doves of peace. And speaking of peace, I wish the war in Vietnam would come to a complete end, honorably or otherwise. Too many of our soldiers coming home in body bags…but wishing will not make it so.
