• Monday-What'sUP March 2 - 07:04 pm

A tradition born years ago here at Pasty Central, we take this last day of the month to honor and remember those of our loved ones and friends who have departed:

Hugh Charron was a long-time resident of Still Waters, and we will always remember him fondly.

Today we complete seven years of the Pasty Cam. During those years, many Still Waters residents have appeared on these pages, most of whom have passed on. For me, the archives of this daily feature represent a scrapbook of remembrance - of the places, the beauty, the history - and especially the people - who have enriched the lives of those of us living in this tiny corner of our great land.

CHARLIE at Pasty Cenytral.; from where I can order like that MAGNIFICENT Pasty.com T-shirt??!

In memory of my father, William Pykonen, who passed away yesterday. Dad you are already missed.

Can anyone help with the following:

I was born and raised in Houghton (left in 1957), and lived in Beacon Hill in the early '40s. My father was the agent at the RR Depot. I distinctly remember going to school there. The school was right across the road from the church on the road to Freda. I can remember standing on top of the "Big Hill" watching to see if the teacher could make it up after an overnight storm. We had a lot of no-school days until Blazer's sawmill started putting a team of horses at the base to pull her car up. Have found references on the Copper Range site that Beacon Hill never had a school, so I'm looking for back-up.

Remembering Ben and Jerry Blum. Father and brother of Sharon Monette-the bestest friend ever.

JO,NC: Yup. You're right. There was a school right where you said. Nothing but foundation left last time I looked.

Sandra Kay Williams Wolkenhauer

Gary, Thanks. I was up there a few years ago, and took my aunt out to Freda one Sunday morning for breakfast. Just a few people left where Beacon Hill was. Actually, I had a problem even finding it with the trestle gone. I'll be in Houghton for a week in August, and will probably go out there for a day and see what I can find. Might even check with the Stanton Township schools, and see if they have any old records. Find out if I did any better in 1st-2d grade than I did in later years, LOL.

I'd like to add my dad's name for memory today, Walter Carl Walman. He actually died in October over 25 years ago, but today is his birthday. I wish he would have lived to see his 75th!

In memory of Wilson Newell, my great-uncle, who passed away this last month. I'm sure my aunt and uncles can vouch for how greatly he'll be missed.

Remembering our friend and brother in law, Wayne Hartmann who passed away last April. Also our cousin, Janet Trasti. You are both missed very much and live on in our hearts.

In memory of Mom, Ruth Loukinen Ristola, who died three years ago this week.

John Campbell, long time Copper Country Railroad historian, who passed on 2/24 in Milwaukee. Your knowledge and insight will be missed.

In memory of Margo Syria, my wife, partner, and best friend for over 43 years. She lost her battle with cancer on January 6. I really miss you, hon.

Remembering Paul Goulette, Tonto to his many friends, who passed away Feb. 14, 1994 -- way too young, way too soon.

In memory of Sophie Chukas of Euclid Avenue in Berwyn, IL who passed 02/27/05 at age 94 in her own home. She will be missed.

In memory of my friend Lamar "Buddy" Warren who died one year ago this month.

In memory of my brother Will Wilson. He will be sadly missed by everyone especially me. Thanks for all the support that everyone is giving. He is every where now and he is an angel watching over us.

May the precious blood of jesus cover all these souls.

In memory of my sister-in-law Laila Hill who passed away on February 27,2005.

IN memory of BARBARA BESSNER in Dallas, Texas. Passed away on Monday February 21, 2005. What a legacy she's left behind. We miss you so much already.

In memory of my brother-in-law, George Bays, a native yooper, who served his country as a paratrooper, and who served the citizens of Michigan as a State Trooper and retiree advocate. He is very much missed by our entire family, he was an awesome individual who passed a year ago on Valentine's day. He's always in our hearts.

To JO in NC

You might also check at the Houghton County Historical Society in Lake Linden. They have lots of information on and pictures of old schools in the area.

In memory of my mother, Annemary B. Roth, who died this morning in her 99th year. Her only connection to the UP is my son who went to Tech and liked it so much he stayed until he earned his PhD. I enjoyed my visits there in every season. Enough that I check this site most days.

She will be missed by her four children, four grand children and eight great grand children.

Great photo,quite appropriate. Do not know whether it is sunrise or sunset, it works for me either way.

Remembering Ellen Pennala who passed away this past weekend....no one person was ever a stranger to this fantastic lady...she will be greatly missed by many...

I also remember my Grandpa John Huhtelin of Houghton hurontown who passed away Feb 1974. See you soon!

SUSAN B. MAURER, YOU MISSED MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW!!! LOVE SCOTT

Herman A Phillips - Father, Grandfather

August 10, 1932 to March 1, 2004

You are missed.

In loving memory of Pete Lukonich and Ellen and Fred Fack, you are truly missed

Last Sunday evening, when Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide, He wrote the end to his own story. Just as with his leads, this was a man who knew how to write a pretty good kicker. It was said he asked that his ashes be shot out of a cannon, and The Aspen Times are taking essays. The Hunter S. Thompson blast-off cannon contest is under way. In 100 words or less, "Why should your cannon be used to blast Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's cremated remains into the sky?"
Hunter S. Thompson taught us "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
I can remember going to Las Vegas and trying to relive “Fear and Loathing”, it almost killed me and I came nowhere close to matching the insanity of the original. He will be missed for his political insight, sharp sports reporting, and good solid American humor.

The photo is sunset over the Big Manistique lake in mid February a year ago. Many, many fantastic sunsets have been enjoyed from this spot. It's fun to watch all the neighbors drop what they are doing at sunset to watch.

Laura FL, your message about Pete Lukonich brought a tear to my eye. If we are thinking of the same Pete, I remember a kind, old man who lived across the street from us in Ahmeek, often waving or telling us to quit playing in the street. Mom always said, "Its not a real snow storm unless you can't see Pete's house!"

I'd like to remember my grandparents, whom my dad mentioned earlier, Ken and Joyce Pekuri, who I knew better as Mummu and Papa. I love you and you'll be greatly missed.

On a different note, that is a wonderful picture. I love the blue tones.

love the picture its very beautiful wish i were up there to enjoy some of these scenes, sopposed to get a load of snow down here in the lower tonight

may all who are grieving and remembering loved ones
today know that others care about you. Seek
peace, find acceptance and know that love endures.

Chris Burnett. The Lord called one of his finest ladies
home.

Remembering Uncle, Wilson Newell, we miss you, may you shoot under par in heaven!

Ellen Pennala was a woman of much love and faith. She had a smile for everyone.

Missing my husband, Wayne, who left this world April 23 last year. Every day is a struggle to continue without him. He is in my heart and on my mind 24/7.

Also remembering Great Uncle Wilson Newell. He can visit Lake Medora as much as he wants now... Go Wooster Scots right Uncle Wilson?!!

Remembering Uncle Bill. All of us will miss you.

I just want to say thanks to all the people in the Lake Linden area for their prayers.

Aunt Frances Fowler, who went home to be with our Lord today.

Remembering my father John Blomquist who would have turned 78 Feb 12. Also, in memory of Herb Peterson of Ironwood, who passed away 10 days ago.

In Memory of Bernard Bonneau of South Range and of
Lower Michigan who passed away on 2-23-05 at the
age of 92. He will be missed by his loving wife,
Bertha of 68 years, his sister-in-law Muriel,nephews and nieces and great nephews and
nieces and many friends.

Bernard Bonneau. Great friend of my parents in South Range. He will be missed.
Also very good choke cherry wine a few years ago. God bless him.

My mom, Betty Cassette, died on February 18 at the age of 89. She was born in Lake Linden, grew up on "G" Street (in the house her grandfather built), and was graduated from LLHHS in 1934. She moved briefly to Milwaukee, Chicago, and then Detroit, where she met and married my dad. She spent the rest of her life in the Detroit area, but we visited my Grandpa Joe Cassette in Lake Linden every summer until he died.

My mom was the oldest of six kids and outlived all of her siblings.

I would love to hear from anyone who knew or remembers her.

Lisa

Another thought in memory of Ellen Pennala. She was a joy always to meet. May the Lord bless her children and many grandchildren/215 great grandchildren with special memories of their dear and special grandma.

In memory of our dear friend, Karyn Dege. May you now rest on the wings of angels.

We will miss you Karyn.

In memory of Jacob Palmatier, a loving husband to Bridget, loyal son to Margie and David, wonderful friend to many, many people, and honorable Corporal to the US Army. Killed at age 29 on Feb. 24, 2005 in Iraq.
