Ann's love of her surviving children, 23 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren was her greatest legacy and pride. Ann was born in Santa Fe, NM in 1922. Her mother relocated to the East Coast and Ann spent most of her formative years in Washington, D.C. She graduated from the College of St. Theresa in Winona, MN where she majored in Spanish Language and Literature. After college she returned to the Washington, DC area where she worked and became a post-war bride, marrying John A. Caffrey. In 1952, they moved to Albuquerque with their four young children. Ann loved being back in the wide open west, and she settled her family into a modest home on the West Mesa. Seven more children became members of the Caffrey clan. In 1970, tragedy struck the family when John became ill and subsequently died after a long illness. Ann was left to raise her children on her own. She went back to school and obtained a degree in Library Science, and worked as the Librarian at Albuquerque High School until she retired. After her last child was out of the house, Ann retired and enjoyed traveling and painting. She became an accomplished watercolorist and displayed her work at several galleries in the Albuquerque area. She also found love again and a new life partner in her second husband, Robert Reddy.

SCHMITT -- JAY ROBERT Age 62, died on the 14th of February, 2012 after a heroic battle with cancer. Cancer claimed his mortal body, but laid no claim on his valiant, determined, and adventurous spirit. Jay is survived by Joyce, his wife of 29 years; son, Richard Kehoe; and grandsons, Kostya and Nikori Kehoe, of Kihei, Hawaii. He was preceded in death by his son, Jonathan Robert Schmitt. Jay was born in Albuquerque, on December 20, 1949 to Otto Robert Schmitt and Linda Alice Perkins. He grew up in Albuquerque, graduating from Rio Grande High School in 1967. Jay was very proud to have served his country as a Marine during the Vietnam conflict and always had a "Semper Fi" greeting for his fellow Marines. He later graduated with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of New Mexico and with a Doctorate of Optometry from Southern California College of Optometry. Jay practiced optometry in the Albuquerque area for over 25 years. While Jay enjoyed his optometry career, it was his outside interests and hobbies that brought him great joy and fulfillment. His interests were ever changing as he moved through life ... skiing, scuba diving, hang gliding, wind surfing, kayaking, motorcycles, hot rods, and airplanes. Jay wanted to experience it all, but it was aviation that was his first love. He moved through the rigors of training to become a single- and multi-engine pilot, IFR-rated pilot, flight instructor, and an A&P mechanic. Jay was a talented mechanic and an ingenious "fix-it" man who could create or fix anything he set his mind to. Jay's interests and hobbies enabled him to develop lasting and treasured friendships. He had the ability to make new acquaintances feel as though they had been his friend for years. He treasured his friends from the aviation community and from the Chapter One Legion Riders. He will be greatly missed by his wife, family, and his many friends. A gathering to celebrate Jay's life will be held for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the Albuquerque EAA Chapter 179, Scholarship Fund for future aviators, PO Box 3583, Albuquerque, NM 87190 or to the American Cancer Society, 10501 Montgomery Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111.

SHAYKIN -- JEROME DAVID Was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 28, 1917, and passed away in Albuquerque, New Mexico on January 31, 2012. He was the second of four sons of Hyman and Fannie, Russian Jewish immigrants who came to America in 1910. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers; and his wife of 53 years, Eleanor. He is survived by his son David; daughter Nanci Beckes and her husband Jerry; many nieces and nephews; and the Beckes/Talcott family. Jerome graduated from the University of Illinois in 1942 where he majored in bacteriology and chemistry. He did post graduate studies in the sanitary sciences, stream pollution control, and the treatment of sewage and industrial wastes at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He worked for the U.S. Public Health Service doing malaria mosquito control in the industrial areas of central Illinois. He also worked as a chemist/bacteriologist for the Sanitary District of Chicago. He was employed by the Armour Laboratories as a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals from animal glands, and he also helped Armour conform to the Food and Drug Administration and its plant sanitation requirements. In 1948, he and his wife Eleanor and daughter Nanci moved from Chicago to Los Alamos where he accepted a position with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission as a sanitary chemist/bacteriologist where he helped to develop methods for the removal of radionuclides from liquid waste streams. His son David was born in Los Alamos six months afterwards. At Los Alamos, he also engaged in Public Health and Environmental Sanitation for the city and county. He served as an environmental health advisor to the Santa Fe District Health Officer and supervised the Boy Scouts in the area who chose to earn a public health merit badge. In 1965, the Atomic Energy Commission transferred him to Albuquerque Operations Headquarters where he served as an environmental health, sanitation and industrial hygiene advisor to its twelve contractor operated offices in the continental United States. He used a collegial approach in the resolution of industrial health and sanitation problems and he was well respected and held in high regard by the AEC, contractors, and his fellow workers in the Operational Safety Division. During his thirty two years of employment with the AEC, he received three promotions and was rewarded with two superior performance awards. He was president of the Los Alamos Lodge of B'nai B'rith and a member its District Grand Lodge, president of the Los Alamos Jewish Center of which he was a founding father, a member of the U.S. Public Health Association, New Mexico Public Health Association, and a member of the American and Illinois Societies for Bacteriology, Radiological Health Association, and the American Sewage Works Association. He had a few close friends, many acquaintances, and no known enemies. One of the biggest disappointments of his life was that he was classified 4F and unable to serve his country during WWII due to a childhood injury. After his retirement, he tried, without success, to improve his golf game. He loved his country, his family, his friends, dogs, and a good joke. He hopes to be remembered as a compassionate human being and a patriot who had faith in the concepts of American democracy despite the partisanship of its elected officials. He requested that no memorial service be held, and cremation has taken place. This summer, his remains will be spread in the same places where his wife was scattered seventeen years ago. He will be sorely missed by his loved ones who feel that he was a loving and kind, gentle man.
