Max and Betty (Allen) Dean were proud " * to have Louie join his brother, Casey, born 15 monthsearlier. Three years later his sister, Lor- raine, joined the family. Louie’s childhood “on the hill” in Union, WA was a routine of swim- ming and fishing in Hood Canal, hunting in the woods, riding bikesand motorcycles. He was an accomplished athlete setting and holding several records at Hood Canal School. He made friends easily and cherished those friendships through- out his life. An avid reader, he could talk to any— body about anything. The many Allen/Morris/ Dean camping trips instilled a love for the outdoors that he turned into a life-time of exploring. He loved the history of the PNW and became part of that legacy as a high country tree faller. His father al- ways said Louie would have been very comfortable being born a couple hundred years earlier as a frontiersman. Even in modern times Louie brought down an elk near Snoqualmie Pass with his muzzle-loading rifle, trapped and tanned a beaver, fished big salmon in Alaska, and was part of a black-powder group. Louie passed on November 21, 2020, succumbing to cancer. His mother preceded him in death in April, 2016. He will be remembered for his easy smile, gentle nature, athleticism, and good conversations. Besides the many friends and relatives who will miss Louie, his fami- ly includes his son Levi, wife Laura and their children: Kendal (Dean) Van Campbell (Ian), Gage Dean, Madison Raleigh, Hadly Dean, and Marissa Raleigh. Son Casey,wife Katie and theirchildren Grayson and Holland Dean. His partner, Debbie Ryckman, and her family that became his own.

Frederic Joel Arthur \ Frederic Joel Arthur passed on Saturday, November 7, 2020, due to cancer. He was born ‘ , March 14, 1950, in Eugene, Oregon, when his father, Gerald Evan Arthur, was a GI Bill stu- dent at the University of Oregon, having served in the US Army during World War II in the Pa- cific. Joel’s mom was Margaret Guentz Arthur, of Spokane, Washington, also a WWII vet, having served in the Navy in San Francisco. as a WAVE. Joel spent the majority of his youth in Portland, Oregon, discovering his lifelong passion of sail- ing when he was 16 and learned to sail with his friend, Roger Cole, on the Cole‘ family sailboat on the Columbia River. While in high school, Joel was a star baseball player and bowler. After graduating from James Madison HS in Portland (1968), Joel spent three years at Oregon State University, in Civil Engineering, and then took a break to work in California before he enlisted in the US Navy. He was stationed in Guam at Naval Communications Station during the final years of the Vietnam .War. After active duty in the Navy, he spent six years as a Naval Reservist and began attending Portland State University, as an accounting major. He enjoyed time on the PSU fencing team, too. He met his wife J ulie(née Yeager) while he was a student at PSU, and after telling her of the tropical beauty of Guam, and the great sailing there, they got married, Julie got a job at the University of Guam, and they shipped his Hobie Cat (Bien Hoa) to Guam, where they lived, sailed, SCUBA’d, explored the jungle, and Joel surfed. Joel worked at the Bosun’s Locker, a marine supply store, a job that en- abled him to meet every recreational sailor on the island and also. those who sailed to Guam and beyond, and to invite every transiting sailor home for a hot shower and meal. After Guam, they moved to Stockton, California, where Joel graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics in 1986 from University of the Pacific, and explored the San Joaquin River Delta in their second sailboat, a 26-foot swing keel Clipper Marine (Sandscape), the replacement for Bien Hoa, which they sold before leaving Guam. In 1987, they moved to Arcata, California, where Joel worked as a math tutor at College of the Red- woods and crewed for other captains on several coastal sailing expedi- tions, both south to San Diego and north to Glacier Bay, Alaska. They moved to Tacoma, Washington in 1999. In 2000, they bought prop- erty on Harstine Island and loved spending time on the island when they weren’t working. By this time, they were on their third sailboat, a 26-foot fixed keel boat (Tekoa) and Joel was working at Breakwater Marina in Tacoma. After retiring in 2012, while Julie was still work- ing, Joel fulfilled a lifelong dream of sailing single-handed down the West Coast on their fourth sailboat, a 38-foot Hughes (Instigator), and ending up in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico after a number of adventures at sea. He left the boat there and spent several happy winters visiting Instigator and sailing on the Sea of Cortez. In 2019, they bought a house on Harstine Island with the goal of retiring there. Joel was an avid athlete in his younger days, downhill skiing, playing racquetball and tennis, golfing, fencing, and armchair quarterbacking. He will be remembered as an out-going man who would do any- thing both for his friends as well as for strangers, who loved sailing almost as much as he loved his wife, and who had distinct likes and dislikes in the culinary area. He also had quite a way with dogs, training J eef and Bax to be wonderful companions. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Julie, of Shelton and Tacoma; his sister, Jean Ar- thur (Lynn Sellegren), niece Gretchen Sellegren, and nephew Bridger Sellegren, Bozeman, Montana; his brother David Arthur, Gresham, Oregon, and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his dad, Gerry, and his mom, Marge. At his request, there will be no services, but the family might host a picnic in his memory next summer.
