STOECKLEIN DAVID RAYMOND 1949 ...
STOECKLEIN DAVID RAYMOND 1949 - 2014. Legendary photographer David R. Stoecklein left his mark on our world in more ways than one. The son of Bernard and Dorothy and brother of Buzzy, Julie, Walter and Debbie Stoecklein, he was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1949. During his early 20s he headed west to pursue his passion for photography. David met Mary Jagger in 1976 and after moving to Sun Valley, Idaho, they married and were blessed with three boys Drew, Taylor and Colby. Everyone who knew David also understood that he was completely in love and devoted as a husband, a father and friend to all. David's images dominated the ski and outdoor industry, but his contribution to advertising made him one of the most sought after photographers in the business. He worked with Chevrolet and Jeep to Marlboro and Stetson, Canon USA and Epson, Coca Cola and Bayer to name a few. His passion was in documenting the cowboy way of life and the men and women who knew a thing or two about hard work and making an honest living. David lived by the code of the West. In fact he provided the photographs and publishing for the book Cowboy Ethics. His word was worth gold, and his handshake meant everything. He finished what he started, spoke his piece, but always listened first. He worked hard, played hard, and always made a stranger feel welcome. He was both tough and tender, and his life has inspired countless others. The iconic American Western photographer was much loved and admired for his gregarious character and passion for life. His photographs will forever be a tribute to his talents and his spirit will live on in all those whose lives he graced. He remains legendary. In his honor, Mary and her three sons have established the David R. Stoecklein Memorial and Educational Foundation. It is a charitable organization designed to provide help to causes David cared so much for - such as providing scholarships to aspiring photography students and to helping cowboys and cowgirls in need. The Stoecklein family would like to continue David's legacy of education and generosity for generations to come. Memorial donations in memory of David may be made to the David R. Stoecklein Memorial and Educational Foundation in care of Attorney Brian Barsotti, P.O. Box 370, Ketchum, ID 83340. A celebration of David's life is being planned for the spring of 2015. www.stoeckleinphoto graphy.com. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

DONALDSON EDGAR WILLIAM ED A...
DONALDSON EDGAR WILLIAM ED Age 76, husband of Susan Butler Donaldson of Pinellas Park, died November 16, 2014, after a long struggle with COPD. The eldest child of the late Edgar and Elizabeth Donaldson, Ed was born at home in East McKeesport, Pennsylvania on May 18, 1938. Later, he and his family moved to Morgantown, West Virginia, where he graduated high school. During these years he was baptized, confirmed and very active in the Episcopal Church. With a full scholarship from Palmolive, Ed attended and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with majors in history and theology. He believed in God. In order to fulfill his military obligation, Ed joined ROTC where he learned to fly Piper Cubs. This experience changed the focus of his life forever; from then on, his heart and soul ever lifted to the sky. Upon college graduation, Ed immediately joined the Air Force, and for the next four years he served as a pilot, of which two and half years were spent in a hurricane squadron in Yokota Air Base, Japan. After an honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1965, he joined American Airlines. For the next 33 years his sterling reputation as a highly skilled and versatile pilot made him a most valuable employee. Captain Donaldson retired in 1998. In 1993, he and Sue moved to Florida where he became an active member of his community, joining The Elks, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, the Pasadena Country Club and the St. Petersburg Country Club. He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed as a dedicated professional, a respected community member, and a loving father and husband. If consolation is needed by those who grieve his passing, think on this: Do not look at my grave and cry, I am not there, I'm up in the sky. Besides his loving wife, Sue, Ed is survived by his two sisters, Barbara Jennings and Rebecca and husband, James Vesely; son, Mark and wife, Heatherlyn; daughter, Margaret and husband, Anthony Felton; stepson, Kirk Johnson and wife, Elizabeth; stepdaughter, Becky Johnson and soon to be husband, Lasse Karlson; and five grandchildren, William, Matthew and Carolyn Donaldson, and Stephanie and Jeffrey Felton. A memorial celebration of Ed's life will be scheduled at a later date. Ed had been in the care of Hospice since January 2014. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Suncoast Hospice, 6770 102nd Avenue N., Pinellas Park, FL 33782. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
