Sam L Purlia, born January 25, 1924 died September 18, 2014 in Alpine, California. Sam was 90.

Obituary: Sam (Savo) L. Purlia, 90, of Alpine passed away peacefully at home on 15, 2014, surrounded by his loving wife and children.
Sam was born on 25, 1924 in the tiny copper mining town of Claypool, Arizona, the youngest of Ljubo and Georgina Purlias five children. His parents, both immigrants from Dupilo, Montenegro, were intensely proud of their Serbian heritage, which they passed along to Sam, who in turn instilled it in his own children.

At the age of 19, Sam enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps. He always remembered his World War II service as a P-38 pilot (eventually achieving the rank of captain) flying photo reconnaissance missions in Europe as a highlight of his life. He was grateful for the opportunities that his military service opened up for him.

Upon his return home, Sam finally attracted the notice of the girl of his dreams, Gloria Fernandez. Although they grew up in the same small town and knew each other as children, she had a different set of friends, belonged to a different church and even spoke a different language at home. During the war, Gloria graduated from the University of Arizona and started teaching art at the local elementary school. When her friend and fellow teacher Olga Purlia reintroduced her to her younger brother Sam, Gloria saw that the scrawny little kid she remembered was now a handsome and decorated officer.

Sam and Gloria were married in 1949, and they began their life together in Tucson, where Sam attended pharmacy school on the GI Bill while Gloria continued her teaching career. Sam earned his degree, the young couple moved to San Diego, where Sam honed his craft and started his own business in 1957 ? Purlias Owl Rexall in Serra Mesa, which he owned for more than 30 years. The store was a family endeavor. Gloria did the much of the buying and merchandising, while the four Purlia children pitched in after school and on weekends and learned the benefits of hard work, fair business practices and strong community involvement.

In his limited spare time, Sam managed to squeeze in some serious hobbies ? tending to his fruit orchard, golf, travel, and especially distance running (long before it became popular). He even ran the New York City Marathon at the age of 59. Sam was also a founding member of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church.

Following his etirement in 1988, Sam continued to work as a part-time pharmacist, finally hanging up his white jacket for good at the age of 85 to spend more time with his family and enjoy his favorite activities.

Sam would be the first person to say he was a very lucky man. He and Gloria were married for 65 wonderful years. Together they raised four children who adored them and never gave Sam a single worry, or as he said, No sramota (shame). Their childrens spouses agree that they lucked out by marrying into the Purlia clan. And Sam was the very best Jedo ever to his two beloved grandchildren.
Sam is survived by his wife Gloria, and their four children and families: Gina Purlia Johnson (husband Kent and daughter Casey), Marianne Demers (husband Joe and son John), John, and Danilo (wife Catherine Kuss). In addition, Sam is survived by his older brother George.

Blessed are those who died in the Lord; let them rest from their labors for their good deeds go with them.

Eternal rest grant Savo, O Lord.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Obituary: On 14, 2017, our beloved sister, aunt, friend and colleague passed away in Carlsbad, California after succumbing to a somewhat brief and heart wrenching battle with cancer.

As the daughter of a career military man, Helen was born on 5, 1950 in Germany. Shortly thereafter, she and her family moved to the Southern California neighborhood of Santa Monica where she attended high school and eventually moved on to receive her B.A, M.A, and Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. At USC, she also maintained a position as Grad Research Assistant from 1972-1977. At Texas Tech University, Helen became an Assistant Professor in the IR Grad Program from 1977-1979. Dr. Purkitt spent the majority of her career as a professor of Political Science at the U.S Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Following her retirement in 2011, the Secretary of the Navy conferred upon Dr. Purkitt the title of Professor Emerita for her devoted manner throughout her tenure of 33 years of faithful service.

Within her various fields of expertise: African politics, International Relations and National Security, Emerging Security Issues, Political Psychology (decision-making, information processes, human-technology behavior, terrorism), and Policy Methodology (statistics, network analysis, visual modeling), Helen traveled worldwide, with the majority of her travels focused throughout Africa. The relationships and data she collected during these academic ventures, led to her authoring and co-authoring several published works to include: South African Weapons of Mass Destruction, World Politics (20 volumes), and African Environment and Human Security in the 21st Century to name a select few.

retiring, Helen volunteered as a board member for the Sierra Club of Nevada as well as maintaining various volunteer responsibilities in association with the Democratic Party.

She is survived by her sisters, Charlotte Roach and Marianna Diamos; her nieces Lori Hollingsworth and Kimberly Roach; and her great nieces and nephew; Alexandria, Claire and Jace. We are undoubtedly confident that she will be met by several loved ones who's passing preceded hers: her husband, James Dyson; her mother and father, Alice and Claude Purkitt; and her nephew, John Roach.


A graveside service will be held at 11:00 am on , 22, 2017 at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, California.
