Brigette Marie King September 18 1918 - September 11 2002 Brigette King dies at age 83, longtime nurse in East Bay Sight of poverty in Cuba led to choice of career By STAFF REPORTS Brigette Marie Cooley King, an Oakland-based nurse and hairdresser and among the first African-American residents of Hayward in the early 1960s, died on Sept. 11. Mrs. King was 83. She had been suffering from a number of health problems and fell at her home in Hercules on Sunday and was taken to Doctor's Medical Center in San Pablo. Mrs. King worked at the Hayward Convalescent Home on B Street and then as a visiting nurse for Kaiser from 1984 until she retired in 1991. In the 1960s she worked at Our Beauty Shop, at 84th Avenue and what was then East 14th Street. "Brigette had a sense of humor, and she was a real professional and was loved by everyone," said Moloura Clanton, 84, of Oakland, a co-worker at the shop. Nicknamed "Jitter" after the once-popular dance called the jitterbug, she often worked two jobs to support the family, even cleaning homes as a domestic. In the early 1960s, Mrs. King and her family moved to Hayward's Kelly Hill and were among the city's first blacks. Their home on Byron Street was the target of a hate crime when someone burned a small cross on the front lawn. The major issue of the day was Prop. 14 and open housing. Some supporters believed that real estate agents were under no obligation to sell homes to blacks. The ballot measure passed by a 2-1 margin but was later declared unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court. Born in Reserve, La., to Gaston and Marie Duhe, Mrs. King and her brothers and sisters learned the value of hard work by doing farm chores and working the family's orchards. Proud of her French Creole roots, she once traveled to Cuba and was moved by the poverty there. She decided to become a nurse and attended Bennett College in North Carolina. She served in the Women's Air Corps in the Second World War, stationed in Oregon and Riverside, where she met Chauncey W. Bailey Sr. of Des Moines, Iowa. They married, but later divorced. She settled in Des Moines, where she raised her family. She often traveled by train to visit her mother in Oakland before deciding to move West to escape the harsh Iowa winters. In Oakland and Hayward, where she was married to John Cooley, the family attended Iowa Picnics hosted by blacks who also relocated to the West Coast. Cooley died after they divorced and she moved to Seattle where she met and married Brennan King, a football coach at Franklin High School. Mr. King died and Mrs. King moved back to Oakland and lived in the Toler Heights community with her son, Stephan Bailey, who died in 1993. Mrs. King moved to Hercules, where she remained an avid reader of The Oakland Tribune. She also enjoyed sewing and gardening, cooking shows, soap operas, "Jeopardy" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" She was also a big fan of all Bay Area professional sports teams. Mrs. King is survived by a brother, Gaston Duhe of Oakland; a daughter, Lorelei Waqia of Georgia; three sons, Mark Cooley of Hercules, Errol Cooley of El Sobrante, and Chauncey Bailey of Oakland; 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The family will have a private memorial Sunday in El Sobrante. James S. Jiran November 22 1916 - August 30 2002 James S.

WOODROW BRUCE FADDIS September 29 1919 - January 14 2003 Woodrow "Woody" B. Faddis On the morning of Tuesday, January 14, Woodrow B.Faddis, aged 83 years young, quietly passed away at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Oakland, California. Mr. Faddis, affectionately known as "Woody", had survived, with the help of devoted doctors and staff at Kaiser and the care of his wife, Mildred ("Millie") Marie Faddis, substantial health challenges for over two decades. His wife, family members and friends were with him in the days before his death; the night before his passing. Woody not only completed two crossword puzzles and the word jumble (without looking at any of them!), but also one of his favorite meals, and regaled his wife, family members, and nursing staff with his favorite songs and jokes. Born in September 1919 in Choctaw, Alabama to Woddy B. Faddis (Sr.) and Carrie Vernetta Chaney Faddis, Woody grew up in a segregated South, yet was determined to succeed and to ensure that education and professional opportunities could be available to all. Woody graduated from Alabama State College with a B.A. in History and traveled throughout the South and Eastern United States. In 1943, Woody moved to Oakland, California, where he met Millie. Together, Woody and Millie shared 56 years of marriage and raised three children, all loved with great pride Dora Sinesca Faddis Jackson (married to Otis L. Jackson; Henderson, Nevada), Yvonne Marie Faddis Stroud (married to Joseph A. Stroud; Oakbrook, Illinois), and the trumpeter and professor, Jon Faddis (married to Laurelyn E. Douglas; Teaneck, New Jersey). Woody is survived by his wife, children, seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, his brother William "Skip" Harvey Faddis, his eldest sister Mary McCain, and many cousins, nieces and nephews, who are in turn sustained by their memories of him. In California, Woody worked during World War II in the Moore Shipyards, E.B.M.U.D., and Woody became deeply involved in issues of civil rights and justice. After WWII, Woody considered law school but wanted to teach, yet despite his college degree, the only position available to Woody in the school districts at the time was that of custodian, a position he held for several years. Woody received advanced teaching degrees from Cal State-Hayward and UC-Berkeley, and Woody became (as documented in CORE: A Study in the Civil Rights Movement, 1942-1968, by A. Meier & E. Rudwick) the chairman of the Oakland, California chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. throughout the South in the 1960's and spearheaded efforts in this area for equal justice and opportunity. In the late 1960s, Woody became one of the first African-American teachers in the Contra Costa Unified School District, teaching U.S. History to juniors at Ygnacio Valley High School for about a decade. As a history teacher, he and a fellow teacher and close friend, Kaz Mori, developed one of the first multi-cultural curriculums implemented in schools and continued to work to increase opportunities for all young adults. After his retirement, Woody retained his curiosity for the world and continued to learn form and to share knowledge with all those he encountered. He loved sharing time with family and friends, raving about the 49ers and the Raiders and the Giants, eating chicken and dumplings and lemon tarts, "getting a Boston" in bid whist, seeing his buddies at dialysis each week, pulling a few practical jokes, and listening to great jazz. He could always be counted on for a good story, a great joke, a strong smile and a grand laugh, and he loved planning Millie's surprise 80th birthday party this past October. Memorial Services are scheduled for Saturday, January 18, at one p.m. at The Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, California (Tel. 510-654-0123), with a reception immediately following in the adjacent Bible Cloister. There will not be a public viewing. In lieu of flowers, donations may made to a memorial scholarship fund to benefit graduating high school students pursuing multi-cultural studies in college; details regarding the scholarship program will be announced in the near future. The Faddis family extends heartfelt appreciation to all for the thoughtfulness and for sharing stories.

Higino Costa January 11 1923 - August 3 2001 Popular Portuguese radio personality Higino Costa often quoted a Portuguese proverb, "Não há bem que sempre dura, nem mal que nunca acabe," meaning there is nothing good that will last forever, nor bad that will never end. Best known for his optimism in the face of adversity and passionate advocacy of the Portuguese people, these qualities are what drove him at the age of 37 to leave a comfortable life in Madeira, Portugal and move his family of seven to America: a new continent, a new culture, a new language and a new beginning. In Madeira, in addition to being a respected journalist, he had been co-owner of a company that specialized in the ancient art of hand embroidery. His first job in the United States involved working with his hands, shaping metal into household products. He would come home exhausted, but also disappointed at the state of the Portuguese culture in Northern California. He decided to take action. His true mission began in 1962. At his own expense, he founded the radio program, "Amigos de Portugal," broadcast initially from his converted garage in East Oakland, his wife at the controls and children answering calls from his faithful audience. For over thirty years, he became the recognized voice of the half million Portuguese-Americans residing in North and Central California. Eventually moving his program to several radio stations, unceasingly urging his listeners to always move forward, he disseminated the latest news, sports and music from the far reaches of the Portuguese-speaking world. He brought the Portuguese community together by organizing picnics and festivals. His legendary editorials, always supporting free expression and ideals, are still remembered by his peers. Keeping the Portuguese culture alive and helping others were his goals. In 1967, he founded and was later elected President of the Oakland-Funchal Sister City Program. He traveled to Hawaii and Canada as an ambassador of Portuguese folklore in California. During his many excursions to Portugal, he continued to fight for Portuguese immigrants' rights regarding real estate, retirement and banking. To further support his large family, he founded the Higino Costa School of Immigration and Naturalization in 1968 to help the Portuguese people become U.S. citizens. As a teacher, he had an incredible success ratio, and his graduates, numbering over 20,000, are living proof of his dedication and perseverance. In January of 1998, the Portuguese government honored him with a gold medal at a special awards celebration with hundreds in attendance for his contributions to the Portuguese community: 30 years in radio, 30 years as a teacher, and to celebrate his 75th year of age. This past May, he was the only representative from the continent of North America selected by the Portuguese government to participate in the "Portuguese in the Heart" program. Sadly, this was his last journey to his native country, but as his dozens of letters to the other participants and government officials attest, he continued his passionate mission to improve the conditions of the immigrant while enthusiastically expounding the socioeconomic breakthroughs of modern-day Portugal. The country that he had left over 40 years ago was dramatically different from the one he experienced in his final visit. Even in retirement, due to his ability to cut through the governmental red tape that many immigrants face without legal counsel, many Portuguese people sought his advice, and he willingly and easily processed whatever documentation was needed. Shortly after his triumphant return from Portugal, he proudly announced that he had been elected President of his retirement community in Oakland for the second year in a row since arriving in 1999. Mr. Costa passed away quietly on August 3rd at San Leandro Hospital due to an intracerebral hemorrhage. It was his wishes that his beloved family, friends, and colleagues celebrate his life rather than mourn his death. In lieu of a funeral, a memorial mass was conducted in Portuguese and English on Wednesday, August 29th at St. Leander Catholic Church in San Leandro. He is survived by five children -- Roi Costa of Oakland, Jorge Costa of Belmont, Ana Costa and Paula Costa, both from Walnut Creek, and Yolanda Furtado, of Castro Valley - and 12 grandchildren.

He was raised in a home built by his father in 1911 on what was then called Bridge ST (now Grove Way), a home that is still in the family. Mr. Owen recalled when a horse-drawn trolley between Hayward and Oakland on East 14th ST was replaced by an electric streetcar, sometime in the 1910s or 1920s. As a young boy, he hunted on land adjacent to what is now Foothill Blvd. and caught steelhead from the banks of San Lorenzo Creek in his backyard. He graduated from Hayward High School in 1932. Mr. Owen met the love of his life, Elvira Ann Silva, at a party in a remodeled chicken coop in the mid-1930s. They were married in Reno, NV on August 25, 1940 and honeymooned on Catalina Island. The couple built a home in Hayward on Filbert ST in 1941 and never lived anywhere else together.
