OBITUARIES Stephen Allen Roberts William Anthony Pappas Astoria May 25, 1949 — July 15, 2019 Idaho Falls, Idaho Nov. 24, 1953–July 25, 2019 Stephen Allen Roberts died of pancre- atic cancer on July 15, 2019, at 12:54 a.m. He was surrounded by family, friends and Barb, his wife of 39 years. Steve was born on May 25, 1949, in Portland, Oregon, to his parents, Howard W. Roberts II and Lou- ise Moore Roberts. Steve and his brothers, Howard III (who preceded him in death) and Dan, and his sister, Nita, were raised and schooled in Indepen- dence, Oregon, where they were blessed with numer- ous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Steve served in the Army, and was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War. Shortly after retiring from active duty, Steve reconnected with the love of his life, Barb Connelly, and they were married on Aug. 15, 1981. They began married life together in British Columbia, Canada, where they gleefully lived in a log cabin with no run- ning water or electricity, but to them life was perfect. Upon returning to Oregon, Steve was hired by Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). He served as a senior compliance offi cer in Clat- sop County. Steve was a very dedicated employee for 20 years, until he had to retire due to Crohn’s disease complications. During his employment, Steve took the health and safety of employees as his per- sonal responsibility, and was committed to ensuring companies sent their employees home safe and sound. Receiving the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in April 2019, Steve chose not to undergo chemotherapy. Instead, he decided to be thankful for the time he had left and the life he had lived, especially the 39 years he shared with Barb. In his fi nal months, Steve enjoyed rem- iniscing with family and friends about his many years of community contributions, including but not lim- ited to, Foster Parenting for 5½ years, Boy Scouts of America Webols Men- tors and Camp Pioneer program director, vol- unteer fi refi ghter, 2008 Regatta president, creator of Moose Lodge Holiday decorations and lodge vol- unteer and Astoria-War- renton Area Chamber of Commerce Crab and Seafood Festival and Chamber Ambassador volunteer. One of Steve’s favor- ite projects was assist- ing Barb on the annual Christmas Wishing Tree program. Over the years, this program provided gifts to more than 35,000 children, who would have oth- erwise gone without on Christmas day. Steve will always be remembered for his fondness of Louis L’Amour books, hunting for deer and mushrooms and his many dogs who gave him loyal compan- ionship over the years. He is now at home with the Lord, and is survived by his wife, Barb, and his dog, Zeebers. A remembrance celebration of life will be held for Steve on Aug. 17, 2019, from 4 to 8 p.m., at the Astoria Moose Lodge 408/422. All are welcome to attend, share stories of Steve and spend time with Barb before she moves to Independence, Oregon. In lieu of fl owers, please consider dona- tions in the name of Barb Roberts to assist her as she begins a new chapter in life. On Thursday, July 25, 2019, William (Bill) Anthony Pappas passed away sud- denly at the age of 65. Bill — Billy to friends and family — was born on Nov. 24, 1953, in Oroville, California. In his own words, the best and most important decision Bill ever made was to ask his beloved wife, Diana, to marry him. Raising an eternal family was his greatest work in life. Bill led his family with quiet strength, teaching — often without words — how to love, give, serve, work and have faith. Bill was a creator; he loved to work with his hands. From gardening to woodworking, Bill never stopped making things. His creative talent shone brightest through the poems he wrote, and the food he cooked. He wrote poems for most of his life, and gave them selfl essly to those he loved. He created works of art with his food, and shared them with everyone. His love, heart and strength will be missed by all whose lives he touched. Bill is survived by his wife, Diana, and seven children: Danita, Samuel, Russell, Jaeda, Randon, Casey and Anthony; two brothers, Donny Martin and Randy Pappas; and his sister, Lynda Flanery. He is welcomed to heaven’s warm embrace by: his father, Samuel Pappas; his mother, Fran- ces Leonard; and his brother, Mike Martin. A memorial service for Bill will be held at the Latter-day Saints Church, located at 1403 S. Wahanna Road in Sea- side, on Saturday, Aug. 3, at 1 p.m. All who knew Bill are welcome.
