Obituary: Vilas Edwin Whitney was born 2, 1919 in Maryville, Missouri. He passed away 1, 2012 in Long Beach, California. He is survived by his daughter, Betty Vocke of Cypress, son Gary Whitney of Burlington Junction, Missouri, 9 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren and many wonderful nieces and nephews. Vilas was born in Maryville, MO and served in the Army Air Corp during World War II in the South Pacific and was a proud veteran. He married Phyllis Jean Johnston 14, 1945 and they were married for nearly 66 years until her passing in 2011. lived in Long Beach for nearly 50 years & then moved to Vintage assisted living for the past three years. Eulogy was written and presented by granddaughter, Rebecca Jean Crego. PAPAS EULOGY Vilas Edwin Whitney was a mid-west native, born to William Benjamin Whitney and Magdalena (Lena) Whitney in Maryville, Missouri on 2, 1919. He was the middle child with two older siblings, brother Bill and sister Margaret, and two younger siblings, brother Harry and sister Mary. I am Becky or Bec as Grandpa often called me- one of his nine grandchildren. Vilas left school while in the 11th grade. It was the Great Depression, and he had to help support his family. He worked in an Auto Body Shop doing mechanics and body and fender work. He worked six days per week, and his salary was one dollar per week. Vilas (aka Vi) served in the Army Air Corp during World War II. He sailed on the Queen Mary to the South Pacific when the ship was a troop carrier. He was stationed in Australia and New Guinea. At that time, he became a cook for the Army. It was aboard this voyage when the food spoiled, and the crew was reduced to eating candy bars and anything non-perishable. When my siblings and cousins were young, our Grandma Phyllis wanted to take us on a tour of the Queen Mary. Grandpa said No thanks, I don ever want to see that darn thing again! the war, Grandpa met my Grandma, Phyllis Jean Johnston, while roller skating on Halloween, 1945. Six weeks later, Vilas picked Phyllis up after school. He had his mother, Great-Grandma Lena, in the back seat of the car. He told Phyllis we e getting married. Together they drove to Troy, Kansas and were married that same day, 14, 1945. were married for just shy of 66 years before losing his beloved Phyl in , 2011. You had to hand it to the man: he knew what he wanted, and he got it! The couple was blessed with two children as a result of their union. Some call it the Kings Share, a daughter and a son. Betty Jean was born in of 1947 and Gary Reagan arrived in of 1949. In 1950, Vilas and Phyllis relocated from Missouri to California. He had visited California while serving in the Army, and he loved the climate. Their permanent home eventually became 3212 Marwick Avenue in Long Beach. He bought it for $10,500.00, and the extra $500.00 was for the fireplace. His brother Harry and his wife Rita, and his sister Mary and her husband Bob, also made their homes and raised their families in California, not far from 3212 Marwick Avenue. As a result, the family had many opportunities to get together and have fun. While raising his children, Vi worked for several car dealerships as a body and fender man. He worked for 42 years before forced to retire for health reasons. He was a lover of Buicks, and he wasn fond of Fords! Some of the fondest memories of Dad or Uncle Vi as described by his children, nieces and nephews were of his homemade ping pong table and stilts. (It is said that he later blew the end off of that ping pong table with a firecracker in a tin can). The kids would run through the water in the yard and Vilas would be the jokester to put the hose down their swimsuits. One of the fond memories shared was Vilas lying on the grass, bouncing his sister Marys triplets on his tummy. He was very playful and all the kids loved him. The family had backyard BBQs and shrimp fries and German s. would roll up the rug in the living room and dance. Im told that Vilas loved a German Polka or a Missouri Waltz. Throughout his life, he was a lover of the simpler things in life. He enjoyed camping and fishing. He loved to go bowling before he hurt his shoulder and could no longer do it. He loved to watch the Dodgers, and much later in life, listening to the Dodgers game became one of his last pleasures. Vi enjoyed solving puzzles and working with his strong hands. The backyard BBQs and family gatherings did not end as his children grew. continued as the grandchildren and great-grandchildren arrived. The door at 3212 Marwick Avenue was always open. I would go to Grandpas house every day after school from 6th grade to nearly a senior in high school. I never knew who I would find visiting in the kitchen or on the back patio. It was often Aunt Mary and/or Uncle Bob, cousin Rob, that strange man cousin Craig or Larry the gardener. When I was really young, I may even find Bill and Velma Brown-at dinner time, of course. Everyone was welcome to an ice cold beer (or two) or a pop from the fridge in the garage. Grandpa loved a good beer: at one time, a Lucky Lager. One thing that everyone could absolutely agree on from generation to generation, from his children, to his grandchildren to his great-grandchildren, is that Grandpa was an outstanding cook. He was in his element in the kitchen, shirt off, cursing at something going wrong now and then. Frequently he would utter ho continued... |
