Monte Daugharty, BHS '64 (1946-2021)

Monte Merton Daugharty 
May 14, 1946 - May 24, 2021  

Received this sad notice yesterday from Pam and Jon Kirkwood... 

I just now received word from Monte Daugharty's sister (Dee Dee Daugharty Culotta '66) that Monte passed away today, May 24, 2021. Monte was a BHS Class of 1964 graduate. He collapsed at his home and passed away in the hospital, because they could not get his heart started again. Monte had just celebrated his 75th Birthday on May 14th and Dee Dee was able to join him at a Birthday Dinner. Jon and I have fond memories of Monte and Dee Dee singing together several years ago at a BHS/JBHS Reunion Picnic. We are stunned by his sudden passing. Our love, condolences and prayers go out to all of Monte's Family. 

RIP Monte.

Tamara Iwerks, BHS '84 (1966-2021)


 

                           Tamara Iwerks Webster
                             1966 - 2021  

Ojai - Tamara Iwerks, age 54, died Friday May 14, 2021 in a hiking accident on the Rogue River Trail, Oregon. Tamara is survived by her immediate family, her parents, Don and Betty Iwerks, of Ojai, California, her husband, Daniel Webster; her sister Leslie Iwerks (BHS ‘88), brothers Larry (BHS '71) and John Iwerks (BHS ‘73); sister-in-law Chris Chapman; aunt Barbara Miller of Carlsbad, CA. and her beloved dog Milo.

Tamara was born on September 25, 1966 at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Panorama City, California. She attended Horace Mann Elementary School, John Muir Junior High, and Burbank High School. She received her B.A. in Journalism at Cal State University Northridge, followed by a successful career as an on-camera reporter and anchor at Channel 2 News in Casper, Wyoming, WJBK TV2 in Detroit, Michigan, WCTV in Tallahassee, Florida and Channel 11 in Los Angeles, California. She won a News & Documentary Emmy Award for her impactful reporting on climate change.

For the last twenty years she has been the Director of Media Relations at PremiereTV, a broadcast media publicity company, overseeing satellite media tours, press junkets, radio media tours and more. Tamara lived in Ojai, California and Red Lodge, Montana with her husband Daniel. She enjoyed being near and spending precious time with her parents and family in Ojai and her wide coterie of friends from Burbank and Red Lodge. Tam was an avid hiker, wine enthusiast and curiously intrigued with Bigfoot and Mermaids! She had a fun, mischievous sense of humor and a heart of gold - she was arguably Neil Young's #1 music fan, having traveled the world to attend his countless concerts over the last thirty years. Tam lived and loved her life to the fullest. She wanted all stray animals to have loving homes, our pristine wilderness to be protected, and the LA Dodgers to always win. She left this earth doing what she loved: hiking in nature, surrounded by her beloved husband and dear friends. We will miss her terribly and will carry her love, memories and her lifelong gifts to us in our hearts forever.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks to make donations in her name to her favorite charities: The Ojai Raptor Center in Ojai, California and Beartooth Humane Alliance in Red Lodge, Montana. Please visit Tamara's memorial website at www.tamaraiwerks.org for more information and updates.

Published in Ventura County Star from May 17 to May 22, 2021.
 
 


RIP Tamara.

Patti Howick MacKillop, BHS '63, Passed Away May 19, 2021

Jaydean Gordon Dyer just sent this sad note... 

I just received word from her daughter that Patti Howick MacKillop class of ‘63 passed away last night, from complications of diabetes and heart disease. We were neighbors back in our elementary school years at Miller. We went through Muir and BHS together, then lost touch. A few years ago we reconnected and became good friends on fb. She was always a quiet person but also one of the nicest. It is sad. She was really a nice person. She will be missed. 

RIP Patti.

Chuck Hicks, BHS '47 (1927-2021)

Charles "Chuck" Hicks 
Dec 26 1927 - May 4 2021 

Today Diane Hicks posted the above photo and this sad notice on Facebook... 

"We lost one of the really great guys yesterday Chuck Hicks graduated from Burbank class of 1947. He went on to a long and great career in Hollywood as one of their best stuntmen. We will miss him terribly. ❤️ I love this man. He is my husband’s brother (Brian Hicks class of 1960). We had many many years of love."

We found more info below...  

Chuck was born in Stockton Ca.and his family moved to the Los Angeles area a year later. Grade School & High School were spent in Burbank where he played a trumpet in the school band but grew practically over night to 6'1 &1/2" and became Burbank's Football Star Running Back. He joined the Merchant Marines and then went into the Navy. 

Out of the service, he attended Loyola University on a football scholarship and went on to play with the Eagle Rock Athletic Club -a semi pro team. He tried out with the Rams and the Red Skins but there were no openings so he stayed with Eagle Rock for seven years and was voted the "Most Valuable Player" three of those years. Chuck was also involved in bringing Rugby to So. California in the early 50's. Eagle Rock, Stanford, UCLA and Pepperdine competed in the beginning. 

During his football career, he was also a Professional Boxer, fighting under the name of Chuck Daley. The promoters wanted him to fight as "Jack Daley" because it was a tougher Irish sounding name, but when he was 14, he had his name tatooed on his arm and there was no way to get rid of the "Chuck" at that time. He had 8 professional fights, 6 fights at the Olympic Auditorium - 5 one round k.o.'s, in which he broke one opponents jaw, put 1 guy in hospital over night and one in a concussion for week. Chuck boxed on the Card of two Championship Fights. One in Illinois at the Chicago Stadium with BoBo Olsen & "Kid" Gavilon and in Las Vegas Nev. on the Card with Gene Fulmer & Peret .He finished with 2 wins and 1TKO when he broke his hand on the last fight causing him to retire. He was Heavy Weight Champion of the 5th. Fleet in 1946 and also Heavy Weight Champion of Loyola. He made $75 a fight, 1/3 to his Mgr. $10 to a "cut"man and $5 to Corner 2nd.and a percentage to Roger Creed and a possibility of $4,600 a year playing football. 

He made more in the motion picture business and so turned his goals towards that direction. Acting, Stunt Coordinating and competing as an athlete playing in the Softball leagues in the Los Angeles Ca. area. Chuck started in the movie business in 1951. His first job was 'Working Her Way Through College" as a football player  with Ronald Reagan, Don Defore, Virgina Mayo, and Gene Nelson. He was standing-in and stunt-doubling For Clint Walker, star of "Cheyanne", learning the "Biz" when he was "Discovered" by Lucille Ball on a TV Special -"K.O. Kitty", and signed to be one of the original "Untouchables" for Desilu Productions in the part of "Kane". One of his major Character roles was "The Brow" in "Dick Tracy. 

Since 1961 Chuck was a Charter Member of the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures, Inc., a past president, and 16 yrs on the board throughout the years, including organizing and putting on the Stuntmen's Annual Dinner Dance several times and Director of the 37th.1999, 38th 2000, 39th 2001 Annual Golf Tournament.
