LADUCA
Anthony
William Laduca, 94, beloved husband, father, and grandfather
and El Paso resident for the past 40 years passed away at
his home on March 27th, 2008. His parents were Giuseppe
"Joe" La Duca and Teresa Di Marco who immigrated
from Cerda, Sicily
bringing two older children Josefina and Salvatore to New
York. He was the first child to be born a United States
citizen in Mt. Morris, NY. He lost his mother when he was 4
from the "Spanish Influenza" which claimed
millions of lives in 1918. He and his male siblings were
placed in temporary custody in Father Baker's orphanage and
home for boys in Lakawanna, NY where he learned his English.
He credits Father Baker's school for his strong moral and
Catholic foundation that carried him through his entire life
into the welcoming arms of his Lord Jesus Christ. At age 8,
the family siblings were reunited when his father remarried
and he was raised in Rochester, NY where his father, a
laborer, and his brothers pursued the "American
Dream." He started as a paperboy and learned to create
"customers" who became his friends. Later, when
the hard financial times of the depression hit, he was able
to find work in a pharmacy during the day and completed high
school studies with East High Evening School. A promising
and talented student, he was only able to complete one
chemistry course at the University of Rochester. His love of
music began early with a banjo, then a bass, and later a
piano. He formed "Anton Duke and Orchestra" was
able to arrange music for the popular dance bands of the New
York finger lakes area. After the depression, in June of
1937, he got a counter job with the White Towers restaurant
corp., an early precursor to the modern hamburger
restaurants, and was rapidly promoted to manager for five
restaurants in NY state. It was there where he met and
married Margaret Dolan. The couple just celebrated 67 years
of marriage. Called for duty on November 3, 1943, he served
his country during World War II. Private Laduca was trained
as a surgical technician at Walter Reed Army Hospital in
Washington, D.C. and was sent to care for returning wounded
at the 38th General and 56th General Station Hospitals in
Cairo, Egypt. When WWII ended, he was honorably discharged
holding the rank of staff sergeant. After the war, he and
his wife moved to the beautiful warm and dry southwest
climate described to him by his army buddies. Like many
returning soldiers, he was looking to build a new career and
start his family. He joined Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company in 1947 and was given the area of
Carlsbad, New Mexico. In 1955, he was one of the first NML
agents to complete all of the courses necessary to become a
Chartered Life Underwriter CLU and a Chartered Financial
Consultant ChFC. Making friends easily, he was active in the
St. Edward's Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. In
Carlsbad, he served as a Boy Scout Leader, organized Civil
Defense plans for the American Red Cross and was a member of
the Lion's Club. He and his wife raised their two children
Mary and Joseph "Joe." In 1968, he relocated the
family to El Paso, TX where he continued to serve both
Carlsbad and El Paso for a career of service to customers
that spanned 51 years. In October, 1997, he accepted Senior
Retired Agent status. In El Paso, he attended mass daily at
St. Raphael's Parrish, where he chaired the Vocations
Committee and was an active Serra Club member. He loved to
fish in the beautiful streams of northern NM, play jazz
piano, theorize about astro physics and to grow tomatoes in
his garden. The joy of his later life was his granddaughter
Heather Katherine Mooney and his pride in his grandson
Gregory Anthony Mooney. He is survived by his loving wife
Margaret, daughter Mary L. Mooney and son-in-law Mark Allen
Mooney of El Paso, son Joseph John Laduca of San Diego,
California, and his grandchildren Heather K. Mooney, of El
Paso and Gregory Anthony Mooney of Houston. His sister Laura
Gaglio, nieces Patricia Kupski, Joann Del Vecchio, Marianne

SHEWMAKER
 Dwight Lee "Shew" Shewmaker passed away on April 30th at the home
of his daughter Suzy in El Paso. "Shew" enjoyed a long and
vigorous life, filled with love for family and humanity. He began
life in 1922 near Ponca City, Oklahoma, the first-born son of
James and Julia Shewmaker and grew up in and around Madison and
Gridley, Kansas, much of the time on his Father s farm. He loved
the Flint Hills of Kansas, ranching, and oil field work, but World
War II took him to Europe where he served as a combat engineer
officer in the Italian Campaign. There he met Tina deBernardis,
his loving wife for nearly 55 years, and with whom he fathered two
children, James and Suzy. Following WWII, Shew and Tina made a
home first on his ranch in Gridley, Kansas, but soon thereafter
moved to Chicago, where he began an internship at Continental
Illinois bank. Called back into service during the Korean War,
Shew found himself back in uniform. In 1956 the family moved to El
Paso. At Ft Bliss he became a respected expert in the electronics
of guided missile systems, even to include the initial American
forays into ABM systems. With his keen intellect, military
retirement became the entrée to new and challenging careers. He
worked as a creative computer programmer at El Paso National Bank,
always proud of his ability to code sophisticated software in
fewer steps than others. He completed his BA and MBA at UTEP,
after first starting college at Kansas State Teachers College
before WWII. He earned his CPA and ran his small CPA practice on
Raynolds Street for many years. During the final stage of his
working career he worked with Ammons Boot Company as financial
controller from 1986-1997. A Man of many and wide ranging
interests, Shew continued to work well into advanced age,
especially for SCORE, the Service Committee of Retired Executives.
He served on the board of Ballet El Paso for several years, and
enjoyed participating in many civic and professional
organizations. He especially cherished his weekly lunches with
friends, and as an active supporter of arts and culture in El Paso
regularly attended performances at UTEP, the Chamizal and El Paso
Civic Center. Shew supported the Unitarian/Universalist Community
of El Paso, serving as an active member for many years. Seeing the
plight of the less fortunate, he devoted much of his time, in his
own quiet way, to helping many others achieve greatness. Shew
embraced humanity, equality and the innate good in his fellow man.
He lived the principles of his faith and sense of social justice.
Shew lived a full and righteous life. Shew s wife Tina preceded
him in death in 2001. He is survived by his brother Carl Shewmaker
and wife Emily of Eureka, Kansas; one sister, Genevieve Duncan and
husband Gary of Alto, NM; son James and wife Susan of Atlanta, GA;
daughter Suzy Hicks and husband Steve of El Paso; grandchildren
Steve Shewmaker and wife Patti of Atlanta, Frank Shewmaker of

STERLING

GROVER STERLING, 76, passed away December 12,
2006. His heart suddenly gave out, but his wonderful oversize
personality lives on. Born in El Paso, January 14, 1930 Grover had
incredibly varied careers and adventures. He raced in the 1951
Carrera Pan American Road Race from Southern Mexico to Juarez. He
appeared in the 1951 film, Giant, which stared Elizabeth Taylor and
Rock Hudson (whom he often compared himself to). He did some
modeling for advertisements in national magazines including posing
with Playboy bunnies in Ultra Magazine. He even ran for mayor of El
Paso but lost. His business interest included ownership of
Southwestern Mills, Baron Chemical, Sun Glass, Hardware Specialties
and Airway Dodge. He was a board member of Ysleta Bank and El Paso
Shriners. He loved women, cars and bars, he loved to cook for his
friends and create art. Grover was a unique individual. A one of a
kind combination of rugged West Texas good looks, a gentle nature, a
reputation of someone who could fix anything. He was the dearest
kindest, friend a person could have. The love of his life was his
ex-wife, Tita Fernandez Sterling who preceded him in death. He is
survived by daughter, Patricia Rockoff, Mick Lynch, son, Grover
Sterling wife Diane Simone and daughter Jean Marie Sterling Alpert
and husband Robert Alpert; grandchildren, Sara Rockoff, Michael
Lynch, Sterling Alpert, Hannah and Alexandra Alpert. He is also
survived by his friend, Dick Poe as well as many other close
friends. His life will be celebrated by family and friends Saturday,
December 16, 2006 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Gunther's
Edelweiss Restaurant, 11055 Gateway West. His corner table barstool
will never be filled, but will be cherished and remembered nightly.
In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to the El Paso
Community Foundation. |

LOVING
Fu
Mei Loving, 75, died Sunday, Dec. 10 of lung cancer. She was born
Fu Mei Chen on July 4, 1931, in Yokohama, Japan. She was the
daughter of Kuei Hsun Chen, a dressmaker of note in Tokyo and
Yokohama, and Tu Yuen Ku. In her childhood, Mrs. Loving was a
professional dancer. She and her sister, Lee Mei, performing under
the stage name of The Dove Sisters, and danced routines made
famous by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and were featured
performers in Japanese theaters. The Chen family, Chinese
nationals, remained in Japan through World War II. They lived
through the allied bombings of Yokohama although many of the
family's businesses were destroyed by bombs and fires. Her
education was cut short by the war as she left Yokohama City High
School before graduation. Later, she earned her high school
diploma from Bogalusa High School in Bogalusa, Louisiana. The
Japanese surrender brought American occupation forces to Yokohama
in 1945. One day, Ms. Chen was traveling on a trolley, when an
American serviceman saw her. The serviceman was smitten and
followed her home where he was chased away by Miss Chen's mother
wielding a broom. The serviceman, Shelby Loving, persisted. And
even though he could not speak Japanese or Chinese and Miss Chen
could not speak English, love blossomed and the two were wed. Mrs.
Loving set about learning her husband's language and used
Chinese-language and English-language issues of the Reader's
Digest to learn English. The couple had two sons, Wings and Bill,
and the family was assigned to Army posts in Japan and the United
States. Mrs. Loving entered Civil Service in 1962 while the family
was stationed in Alaska. She worked in the Army Office of the
Comptroller. When the family was reassigned to Japan, she worked
for the Quarter Master Agency and GI Education Office. In 1966,
the family was sent to Fort Bliss and Mrs. Loving started working
in the Office of Personnel Security for the Army Air Defense
Center. Her work earned her praise from the Department of the Army
including a 1973 Official Commendation for outstanding performance
as personnel security clerk and a 1974 Letter of Appreciation for
Exceptional professional performance. Mrs. Loving was remembered
for her hospitality as she hosted and cooked for her co-workers
during the holidays. In the mid 1980s, Mrs. Loving went to work
for the Army TRADOC Analysis Command at White Sands. There, her
work was recognized with a Sustained Superior Performance Award,
Official Commendation and Certificate of Appreciation. She retired
in 1990. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
Mrs. Loving is survived by her sons, Wings of El Paso, and Bill of
Greenville, N.C.; daughters in law, Tanya Loving of El Paso, and
Jody Loving of Greenville, N.C.; three grandchildren, April
Loving, Adam Loving, both of El Paso, and Jason Jones of
Pocatello, ID; a great-grandchild, Christopher Michael Loving of
El Paso; a brother, Yuen Fa Chen; and four sisters, Lee Mei Hale,
Ton Mei Maeda, Po Mei Mori and Nyo Mei Chen. Services are set for

BLOMERTH
BLOMERTH Elmer
Alexander (Alex) Blomerth was received into the arms of his Lord and
Master on October 28, 2006. Alex leaves behind Jan, his bride of 58
years, son and daughter-in law, Honorable Todd Blomerth and Patti
Payne, of Lockhart, Texas; daughter and son-in-law Kimberly and
Alton Finley, of Seneca, SC; and two grandsons, Matthew Austin
Blomerth of Lockhart, Texas and Washington, DC, and Cpl. Jeremy Ryan
Brunson of Seneca, SC and Camp LeJeune, NC. Alex also leaves behind
a special Son in Christ , Louis Garcia, and a family too large to
list of people whose lives the Holy Spirit touched through his
ministry, friendship, counsel, and encouragement. Alex was born in
Melrose, Mass. on February 14, 1927. He grew up in Maine. After
service in the Navy during WWII, he graduated from Texas A&M in
1948. Alex and Jan began their adventure together the same year.
Alex s career as a geophysicist with Magnolia and Gulf oil companies
took them to Roswell and Portales, NM, Pittsburgh, PA, McComb, MS,
Ft. Myers, FL, and finally to Caracas,
Venezuela.
Returning to the States in 1961, Alex embarked on his second career
as an atmospheric physicist at White Sands Missile Range. Having
heard the call of Christ to witness in His name, Alex left White
Sands in 1975, and began an incredible walk of faith. With others,
he and Jan started KCIK, Channel 14, the first UHF (and Christian)
TV station in El Paso. Contemporaneously, Missionary Radio
Evangelism, International Christian Television, and Manna Tape
Ministry came into being, all to spread the Good News of Jesus
Christ to El Paso, Juarez, and other parts of the globe. Alex has
been described as a bulldog for the Lord. There was never a more apt
description. He was relentless in his belief that Christ s message
of grace and salvation was to be shared with others. People from as
far away as Irkusk, Siberia, Panama, and Puerto Rico received that
story. Alex s gregarious personality, playful nature, and warmth of
personality helped him witness to what God had done in his life. He
blessed and was blessed by many, many friends throughout the world.
A celebratory memorial service and Eucharist will be held at the Pro
Cathedral Church of St. Clement, 810 Campbell, El Paso, Texas, at
11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 31st, The Reverend Bill Francis
officiating, with reception to follow in the Mayfield Room. The
family would like to thank Dr. Kathy Horn, MD, and the wonderful
folks from VNA Hospice for their love and attention in Alex's last
days on this earth. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you
make donations to VNA Hospice, or to a Christian charity of your
choice. Services under the direction of San Jose Funeral
Home-Downtown, 601 S. Virginia St., (915) 532-1856. |

sleep leaving family, friends, co-workers and neighbors in
disbelief. A graduate of El Paso High School in 1981 and St.
Phillip's College in 1995. He was employed at The Hoover Co. as a
Journeyman Mold Maker. He had the wonderful gift of making everyone
laugh and was the life of every party. His sense of humor and
infectious laugh will be dearly missed. He enjoyed Tejano music,
dancing, riding his motorcycle, car shows, and was a well sought out
handyman. Most especially he enjoyed spending time with his friends
and family. As we fill the emptiness in our hearts, sadness, and
endure the uncontrollable emotions and tears let us remember the
great times and laughter he shared with us. He will be greatly
missed by those whose lives he touched. May the music of angels fill
him with joy while he enjoys everlasting peace with our Lord in the
promised land. As Tury would have said to us all "Don't grief for
me...be not burned with times of sorrow, I wish you
the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full
I've savored much; good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with
undue grief. God wanted me now; he set me free." We miss you
brother. Survived by his mother Maria Concepcion Rojas, sister Maby
