DUNSMORE, Donald, born in 1918, died on January 15, 2009, from Alzheimer's disease. He spent his last day with his family praying for him-we look forward to seeing him again in Heaven with Jesus. He grew up in Kentucky during the Depression which taught him the art of frugality. He wasted nothing throughout his life. He had his first car when he was 12. He worked for a farmer who paid him with apples; he would then haul them to town in his model T and sell them. He had a long illness in his teen years that kept him out of school, so he practiced and developed the most beautiful, precise handwriting akin to that on the U.S. Constitution. He served a full term in the Navy as a submariner before Pearl Harbor. After Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a B-17 Pilot. He went from the lowest to the highest jobs in the military and retired happily as a Major in the U.S.A.F. He also retired after a long career at Pacific Telephone. He attended Scott Memorial Baptist Church and studied under Pastors Grimes and LaHaye. He was an avid diver for 20 years and kept a well-stocked freezer of abalone, fish, and lobster. He is credited for saving the lives of two drowning children off Bird Rock and received the Vail Award for this act of valor. He also stayed fit as a Black belt in Judo. He was adept at fixing anything with next to nothing. He and a close friend spent seven years building a mountain cabin by hand. Don is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, sons, Gary and Ron, four grandsons, and one great-grandson. His Memorial Service will be held at I p.m. on Monday, January 26th, at the El Camino Memorial Park in the Garden of Honor at 5600 Carroll Canyon Road. Reception immediately following the Service.
