Joe Sepeda Sosa Sr. passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on September 17, 2020.

Public viewing will be on Monday, September 21, 2020 from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM at Robert Massie Funeral Home. The rosary will be said on Monday, at 6:00 P.M. in the Robert Massie Riverside Chapel. The funeral mass will be held on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 12:00 P.M. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Pallbearers will be Jeremy Villarreal, Steve Flores, Joey Estrada, Raymond Sosa, Jeff Sosa, and Vicki Enriquez.

Joe was born on November 22, 1946, in San Angelo, Texas to Jose and Trinidad Sosa. Joe married Manuelita “Nellie” Villarreal on May 29, 1964.

Joe attended San Angelo schools. He was employed at Die Casting as a truck driver for many years but would later pursue his true passion in floral design. Joe attended many floral design schools as far away as Mexico City. He found himself the coordinator of many weddings, Quinceaneras, funerals, and events all over West Texas. In addition to floral designing, Joe also joined the family restaurant business, Las Dos Hermanas, where he formed relationships with customers who turned into lifetime friends.

His lifelong hobbies included pitching washers, gambling, watching the Dallas Cowboys, buying lottery tickets, visiting casinos, and drinking his famous Popo Juice. Joe worked hard, played hard, and loved the hardest. There is no greater love than Joe’s love for his family – especially his wife of fifty-six years, who she affectionately referred to as her “Stooge”. His greatest job was that of a family man. He exemplified selfless love as a husband, father, grandfather, sibling, uncle, cousin, and extended family member to every life that he touched.

Joe is preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Arthur Sosa; and sister, Josefina Sosa. Joe is survived by his wife, Nellie; son Joey Sosa and wife Laura; daughter Melissa Delacruz and husband Ricky; grandchildren Serena Sosa of Lubbock, Texas, Nolan Sosa, Justin Delacruz, and Daniella Jo Delacruz; siblings Richard Sosa, Rudy Sosa, Irene Deleon, Manuelita Gatica, Alicia Jasso, and Odelia Dietz.

It is with broken hearts that my sister and I announce the passing of our "little" brother. Ronnie passed from this life into the arms of Jesus after suffering with pancreatic cancer for almost five years. Ronald Lee Dabney was born in Midland, Tx on February 21, 1956, the fourth and final child of Joe and Murry Dabney. He died Friday, September 11, 2020 with his sisters and brother-in-law by his side. 
Ronnie was a stoic, soft-hearted, hardworking, gentle soul who was always noticed because of his 6'6" stature. He was called "big man" by some although he was a gentle giant, sensitive to others and forever positive. He was always being asked, "How tall are you?" or "What's it like being so tall?" Being tall made Ronnie unique, but it was his gentle soul and his unassuming, quiet nature that endeared him to many. He was a kind man, a gentle man, a humble man, and a precious brother. He fought bravely to live. He remained hopeful and never, ever complained nor did he ever question why me? 
Ronnie loved boating and fishing, car races, old westerns, and family gatherings. He was blessed by being a member of the Southgate Church of Christ family. He worked as a painter for the last 12 years in the Facilities Management Dept. at Angelo State University. He previously worked with his brother Larry in their own DABNEY PAINTING business. There was nothing Ronnie could not do and he was forever the perfectionist. 
Ronnie was preceded in death by his older brother Larry Travis Dabney, mother Murry Jean Dabney Wells and Father Joe Woodley Dabney. He is survived by his sisters- Jo Lyn (Jody) Johnson, Nancy Jean Davis, brother-in-law Don Davis, cousin Terry Jean Eager and husband Joe (Wichita Falls), nephew John Travis Johnson ( Rochester, NY), niece Melissa Smith and husband Lyle and family ( Waco, Tx), several cousins, nieces and nephews. 
Ronnie was a treasure that we wanted to keep much longer. He brought joy and laughter with his quick wit, contentment, and pride to our lives. We could predict that no matter what was said, Ronnie's comeback was always, "Good Grief!" We were blessed to call him brother. "We love you li'I brother!" 
Graveside services will be held at 2:00pm, Tuesday, September 15, 2020, at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens. 
Special thanks to Dr. Raj Cheruku, the Shannon Chemo nurses, Dr. James Melott, Hospice of San Angelo, and all friends who called him, checked on him, visited him, sent cards, and prayed for him. 

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads his white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. 
He is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch him until at length he hangs like a speck of white cloud just where 
the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says: "There! He's gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all. 
He is just as large in mast and hull and spar as he was when he left my side, and just as able to bear his load 
of living freight to the place of destination. His diminished size is in me, not in him; and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There! He's gone," there are other eyes watching him coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "There he comes!" 
And that is Dying!

Richard James “Dick” Rittman was 88 years old when he was called home to heaven on Thursday, September 10th, 2020 surrounded by his wife and 5 daughters. The fifth of six children, he was born on March 20, 1932, in Keokuk, Iowa to William and Minnie Rittman. 

Dick grew up in Iowa and Arkansas, and served 4 years in the US Navy. He attended high school at Subiaco Academy and played basketball for The University of Arkansas, winning the Southwest Conference Championship in 1958 during his senior year. He married Betty Hiryak in 1954 and after graduation, moved his family to New Boston, Texas to start his coaching career. After several successful basketball coaching seasons and leading his team to a State Championship Final at New Boston, Dick was recruited to San Angelo as head basketball and assistant football coach at Central High School where he was part of the 1966 Football State Championship coaching staff. Dick retired from the San Angelo Independent School District in 1990 after 27 years, having served as Assistant Principal and Principal of John Glenn Junior High School, SAISD Athletic Director, and as Founding Director of PAYS School. He was inducted into the Texas Athletic Director Hall of Fame in 2015. His entire career was focused on the education and well-being of his students. He proudly wore his “Kids are Special” lapel pin to remind us all that our children are our special gift. 

Dick was preceded in death by his parents and four of his five siblings. He is survived by his sister Carolyn Brockert of Costa Mesa, CA. He is also survived by his wife Betty and five daughters; Susan (Dr. Gene) Sherrod, Cheri (Bob) Colby, Retta Smith, Mary (Brian) Thompson and Beth (Dr. Todd) Henderson. He is also survived by fifteen grandchildren; Sarah Lamb, Julie Eledge, Jessica Stidham, Samantha Conner, Scarlett Calvin, Stephanie Long, Sterling Smith, Carson McCain, Stephen Lain, Aaron Willman, Brandon Willman, Clayton Willman, Jake Henderson, Matt Henderson and AnaClaire Henderson. 

Dick was also the proud Papa to his fifteen great-grandchildren, Hudson and Harris Lamb, Finleigh and Fischer Eledge, Olivia Vilardo, Weston and Wyatt Conner, Stella and Rittman Calvin, Landry and Jaxson Long, Ben and Mason McCain, Harper and Bray Willman. He especially loved playing Santa Claus every Christmas season to not only his grandchildren and great-grandchildren but to the children of friends and relatives as well. For most of these children, Papa is the only Santa Claus they’ve ever known. 

Dick’s love for the game of golf kept him young as he and Betty were proud members of Bentwood country club for close to 30 years. He played regularly with his golfing buddies and grandchildren. Even in his final months, you could find Dick enjoying time on the course, living life to the fullest, and regularly shooting his age. 

Dick and Betty had the joy of celebrating their 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries with their loving and expanding family. This October 4th would have been their 66th wedding anniversary. They were also very proud of their 58-year membership at Holy Angels Catholic Church. 

Visitation is at Harper Funeral Home. A rosary will be said at Harper Funeral Home, Monday evening, September 14, 2020 at 6:00pm. A funeral mass with military honors will be said at Holy Angels Catholic Church on Tuesday morning, September 15, 2020 at 10:00 am.

Montgomery’s most recent accomplishment was his High School graduation (1 year early). He had grown into a strong and amazing young gentleman. We are immensely proud of who he had become. He had a loving and caring soul. This was obvious to everyone who knew him or met him. He was proud of his Dad’s career as a peace officer with the San Angelo Police Department. He had a love of music that few had. He was always listening to music and singing. He had an amazing voice for those who were lucky enough to hear it. He had many hobbies: playing video games (with best friends Josh Luna, Louie Alverado and his stepbrother Lance), shooting at the gun range with his Dad and eating Buffalo Wild Wings while watching movies with his mom. In the last four years he had become an avid knife collector. He cherished his knife collection and proudly showed them to everyone who entered his home. He had a dream of one day becoming a bladesmith. 
He helped his friends or anyone who needed it. Even after his death, Montgomery had the pleasure of donating three of his organs to people in need, including a child. 
Montgomery will be dearly missed by his entire family and friends.
