BROWNE -- JOSEPH EDWARD 80 years old. Born August 18, 1931 to Joseph E. Browne, Sr. and Reba Maureen (Newland) Browne in Houston, TX, died May 3, 2012. He is survived by his children, Colleen Hanna (Bill), Fort Collins, CO, Suky Harte, Brighton, CO, and Steve Browne (Jenney), Ballwin, MO; grandchildren Nick Hanna (Rhonda), Rio Rancho, Emily Ostapovich (Ryan), Fort Collins, CO, Amy DeVan, Denver, Greg Zimmerman, Brighton, CO, Jason Browne, Albuquerque, Celena Wilde (Josh), Albuquerque, Andrew Browne, Chicago, Daniel Browne (Elyse), Scott Air Force Base, IL, Michael Browne, Fort Benning, GA, Brian Browne, Fort Hood, TX; and great-grandchildren, Maria, Lucy, Daphne, Katie Bell, Dane, Christian and Isaiah. Also surviving are his sister Mary Couch; nieces Melanie, Lisa, Shelly, Reba; nephew John; and grand-nieces and nephews Katie, Kyle, Michael, Mary Elizabeth, Megan, Holly, Glenn and Cody, all of Albuquerque. He was preceded in death by his parents; son Buddy; and several aunts and uncles in Texas. He was particularly fond of his uncle John T. The passing of his mother in 2005 was very difficult for him. Though born in Houston, he came to Albuquerque as a young boy, and remembered riding his bike with his friends from his home in the southeast heights to Tingley Beach and all over the city. An accomplished swimmer, he was a lifeguard in city pools as a teenager. He loved the ocean, particularly the Texas Gulf coast and lived for a time in Rockport, Texas, on the water. He was also a pilot and loved to fly, until the loss of sight in one eye prevented him from continuing. He often flew to Mexico and South America and had a deep love for that part of the world. Sitting on the wall around the airport with him and watching the planes take off and land is a fond memory. We also remember his love of reading and learning, his deep interest in politics and world affairs, and his skill at telling stories and making people laugh. He always had a soft heart for the underdog. No services are planned. If you would like, please make a donation in his honor to Partners in Health, or the Ocean Conservancy.

CHARTIER -- RALPH CLAYTON Age 93, died peacefully on April 12, 2012 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At his request no service was held. Mr. Chartier was born June 8, 1918 in Ames, Kansas to Edna (Regnier) and Ralph Chartier. Clayton was an artistic and creative individual whose lifelong accomplishments were many and varied. At age twelve he set a goal to become a musician and began this pursuit by teaching himself to play wind instruments. He first used his musical skills performing locally, later traveling with a carnival. To support himself he played with dance bands during the Big Band era while working toward a bachelor's degree in music from Kansas State University. Mr. Chartier furthered his education completing two masters' degrees, one in foreign language and one in music. While serving in the United States Army during WWII as a translator, telegraph operator and band member, he also completed flight school. In 1952, Mr. Chartier moved to New Mexico with his wife at the time (later divorced) to teach French, English and music for Albuquerque Public Schools. He retired from the Albuquerque Public School system after 30+ years as a high school and finally middle school teacher. He established Chartier Double Reed Co. in 1953. The company still thrives today with all three of his children currently involved in some capacity. In addition to running the double reed company which he designed, founded and developed, his early years in New Mexico included playing in and conducting local orchestras. Though he always preferred work to hobbies, he enjoyed gardening, furniture making, wine making and perpetually tinkering with ideas and prototypes for new reed making machines. He was an optimistic and content retiree, living out his retirement years exactly as he pleased--reading Western novels, puttering around his workshop and working in the reed factory daily until two months before his death. He is survived by his three children; four grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.

DAVIDSON -- JACOB (JACK) L. Age 89, passed away on May 6, 2012 at his home in Albuquerque. There will be a memorial service at Congregation Albert on May 8, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society. Jack's life story is a classic tale of the 20th century American Jewish experience. His father Hyman Davidson was born in Poland and arrived in this country aboard the Lusitania in 1911. He was admitted at Ellis Island. Hyman established a grocery business in Auburn, Maine. In 1921, he sent for his wife Fannie and 11-year-old son Nathan to join him in America. They arrived in Boston aboard the Saxonia. Jack was born a year later, the first American citizen in his family. A grocery store still stands on the spot in Auburn Main. The Davidsons were joined in Auburn by some distant cousins, the Rubins from Russia. They had a young daughter named Jennie (later changed to Jeanne). Jack and Jeanne played together as children. Jack fondly remembered showing her how to cross the railroad tracks across the Androscoggin River. Jack was a Boy Scout, first class, and the champion bean picker in the State of Maine in his youth. He was also a budding labor organizer, campaigning and winning a raise for the bean pickers in his part of the state. Jack enlisted in the Army Air Corps and served in WW II. He had fond memories of dancing on the bandstand and dance floor built inside the Eiffel Tower in Paris. After the war ended, Jack attained a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bates College and a Master's Degree from Boston University. He married Bernice Beckerman in Mattapan, MA in 1950. Jack began his career as a math teacher and later became a mechanical engineer. In 1988, after Jack's beloved wife Bernice passed away in MA, Jack visited Jeanne Jacobvitz in Albuquerque, and romance bloomed. Like Jack, Jeanne had recently lost her spouse. Jack and Jeanne were married at Congregation Albert in May 1990 to the delight of both families. Jack and Jeanne loved to dance, and frequently attended plays. They were also active in a square dance group, and had many friends. Jack was extremely proud of his two children, Anne Davidson and Jeffrey Davidson. Anne, an investment advisor and Senior Vice President with Wells Fargo Advisors in Dallas, graduated from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude. Jack taught Anne how to dance, and he loved visiting her in Dallas and taking her out dancing. Jeffrey was an honor student at Boston Latin High School, Harvard University and Harvard Law School. He currently is a senior partner in the law firm of Stutman, Treister & Glatt in Los Angeles. Jeff married Cynthia Cohen, who Jack treasured as a daughter; and their son Clifford, also an attorney and graduate of Harvard College and University of Michigan Law School, was a special source of joy in Jack's life. Cliff's husband, Norman Andrew Sfeir, is a graduate of Harvard College and Stanford Law School. Jack was also extremely proud of Rita (Beckerman) Davidsen, his sister-in-law, whom Jack raised as a daughter. Rita's husband, Kurt Davidsen, and their son is Kenneth, reside in Las Vegas, NV. Rita, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, is an accomplished operatic singer. Jack is also survived by his four step children, Barbara Kalis (a teacher at The International School of Bangkok) and her spouse Ron Kalis; Robert Jacobvitz (a bankruptcy judge) and his spouse Robin Jacobvitz; Michael Jacobvitz (a geologist north of San Francisco) and his spouse Laurie Jacobvitz; and Deborah Jacobvitz (a professor at University of Texas at Austin) and her spouse Jerry Manheimer; and by grandchildren Adam Jacobvitz, Sarah Jacobvitz, Christopher Kalis, Allison Kalis, Julia Manheimer and Ethan Manheimer. Jack was particularly fond of dancing with Julia. Jack was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Nathan. Jack is survived by Nate's children, Stanley Deborah and Herbert. Jack will be deeply missed.

Born in Victoria, Texas, on November 25, 1947, he was preceded in death by his parents Warren and Evelyn Ideus, as well as his daughter Amy.
