He was a graduate of the Command and General Staff College, Armed Forc-es Institute. He was also a very proud graduate or the Army War College. In September 1976 Jim was promoted to the rank of major general. The follow-ing year he became commander of the California Task Force in Alameda. He retired on March 31, 1979.
Besides his country, Jim cher-ished his family. He taught his children to laugh and be strong. He loved to sing and, most of all, he loved to party. He had a real zest for life and a marvel-ous smile. A gathering was never without hearing many stories and favorite “sayings,” especially, “Born in Texas, raised in Tennes-
see,” and his fist pump. If you ever left a party early, you would hear, “Every party has a pooper.”
Jim was predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Helen Grinsell Keltner; son-in-law Anthony Freccero; his brother, John; and sisters, Anne Marie and Delia.
The family celebrated the won-derful life of “The General” Mon-day, April 27, with a mass at St. Jo-seph’s Basilica in Alameda and a celebration at Rock Wall Wine Co. at Alameda Point.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made in Jim’s name to Dee and Helen’s fa-vorite charity, the Alameda Welfare Council, P. O. Box 2265 Alameda CA 94501 or to your favorite charity.

Born in Oakland on Oct. 11, 1924, to the late George and Alvina Crowley, Ken passed away peace-fully at his home in Alameda on April 22, 2015, at the age of 90.
Ken is survived by his daugh-ter, Patricia Lynn Crowley (Stewart) Nelson; grandson Brint Joseph Stewart and his wife Audrey Lynn (Crawford) Stewart; great-grand-children: Travis, Abigail and Daisy Stewart; and nephews: Steven, Jeffery and Rodney Cox. He was preceded in death by his wife, Josephine (Medaglia) Crowley and his sister, Lois (Crowley) Cox.
Ken was a graduate of Alameda High School. He served in the U.S. Army Air Force from 1943 thru 1945 during World War II in France, England and Germany.
Ken and his wife, Josephine, were long-standing members of the American Red Cross, known primarily for their work in “the
Crowley House” distributing food to the local needy three times a week. He, along with his wife, deliv-ered food for Alameda Meals on Wheels for about 20 years. He was a member of the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Refuge and the Alameda Photographic Society. He enjoyed photography, gardening and visit-ing Yosemite.
Funeral Services were held on Monday, April 27, at Greer Family Mortuary and Cremation Services in Alameda. He was laid to rest with his wife at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hayward.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Ken’s memory may be made to the Yosemite Fund, American Red Cross, or the Norbertine Association of the Friary of St. Joseph (Tehachapi, Calif.).

Scouts gather oyster shells in the least tern nesting area. The shells will help camouflage the least tern chicks dur-ing nesting season.
By mid-June, the 9.6-acre sand-covered site could be humming with activity with as many as 300 chicks scampering around waiting for food to arrive. The adults dive for small fish in nearby waters from Alameda Point to Crab Cove.
“The boys felt a big sense of accomplishment being part of the conservation project in April,” said von Stroheim. “It was great to see how even these young boys age 8 to 12 could contribute in a meaningful way to the work. The parents also enjoyed getting to be part of such an important Alameda project.” The Elks Lodge in Alam-eda sponsors Cub Scout Pack 1015.
The public will have an oppor-tunity to visit the site on Saturday, June 20.
The annual Return of the Terns bus tours leave from the Crab Cove Visitor Center on McKay Avenue following a presentation. Tour times are 11 a.m. and 12:15, and 1:30 p.m.
Registration is required via the East Bay Regional Park District’s website. The cost is $11 for adults or $9 for youth (over 8 years). The East Bay Regional Park District and Golden Gate Audubon Society co-sponsor the tours.
