PAULOS, THOMAS G. Tom, born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1924, of his parents George Paulos of Greece and Jeannette Stene of Norway, died of lung cancer on the morning of Sunday, June 2, 2013. Tom's journey into the next world was witnessed by his beloved wife of 67 years, Fran Saccony-Paulos; their eight children, Joseph, Anthony, Daniel, Patricia, Christopher, Mary, Peter, Paul, their spouses; children and grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Mary Mann, all of Sioux City. He is survived by two devoted sisters, Kay Byrne of Sioux City, Iowa and Betty Edison of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In 1942, at age 18, Tom left his parents and family to serve the United States Army in World War II. He was stationed in Italy, France and Africa, and was honorably discharged in 1945. Once he returned to Sioux City, his sister, Kay, introduced him to her best friend, Fran Saccony; Fran and Kay both worked at the Sioux City Telephone Company. In 1946, Tom and Fran were married at St. Joseph Rectory in Sioux City; Fran, Roman Catholic and Tom, Greek Orthodox. Tom, a chef by trade, supported his large family by working first, at his father's hot-dog shop, and later, by managing food services at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. In 1972, he and his family decided to leave Sioux City to join their son, Dan, in Albuquerque, NM, where Tom, once again, managed food services at St. Joseph Hospital in Albuquerque. His final job before retiring was managing the cafeteria at the Albuquerque Journal with his son, Paul. In retirement, Tom and Fran enjoyed traveling to visit friends and relatives across the country - but especially found pleasure in their annual trips to Sioux City where they were blessed with a heartwarming closeness with their parents and many family members from both sides of the family. Tom was cherished by his entire family - and will not be forgotten in death. A Rosary will be said on Thursday morning, June 6, 2013, for the repose of Tom's soul, at the Shrine of St. Bernadette, 11401 Indian School Road, NE, in Albuquerque at 8:30 a.m. A Mass celebrating his life will follow at 9:00, immediately followed by a reception in the Shrine Hall. He will perpetually rest at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe.

TISHMAN, DONALD HOWARD Legendary Real Estate Developer, died at age 86. Survived by his wife Jill Tishman, Pleasanton, CA; his daughter Victoria Tishman Kamerzell and their two daughters Sofia and Olivia. Donald Tishman was born a poor, Jewish kid from the Bronx but died a legendary real estate developer, philanthropist and democratic fundraiser. He died near his home in Pleasanton, California at age 86. Mr. Tishman became known for his innovative approach to real estate development. His landmark project, Zocalo Santa Fe, designed by world-renowned architect Ricardo Legorretta made iconic design affordable and challenged architectural conventions. During his tenure as a real estate developer, Don Tishman built more than 40,000 multi-family dwellings. He built low-income housing in good neighborhoods with top-notch public schools. Mr. Tishman described his childhood growing up in dilapidated apartments as his inspiration for becoming a real estate developer. Never one to shy away from controversy, Mr. Tishman was active in Democratic politics from an early age. He was Chairman of the Young Democrats and went on to run John F. Kennedy's Presidential Campaign in Ohio. A generous philanthropist to democratic campaigns, educational institutions and the needy, Mr. Tishman was honored for his philanthropic work by the Christian Brothers who donned him an honorary member. Mr. Tishman respected the Christian Brothers' educational mission and enjoyed being jokingly referred to as their first Jewish member. Donald Howard Tishman was a WWII veteran, compassionate advocate, loving father and beyond all: a fighter. Even while battling cancer, Mr. Tishman raised money for local veterans from his hospital bed. At his request, Donald Tishman will not have a memorial service.

USSERY, ALBERT TRAVIS age 85, known as "Sonny Boy" to his family, passed away in his home on Thursday, May 30, 2013 from natural causes. He said he should have exercised more, but it would have only slowed his life pursuits. He loved law, banking, creating new companies, the military and wildlife. He came from humble beginnings in Mississippi but by age 24 he was a partner in the business law firm of Gallagher and Ussery in Albuquerque. By age 39, directors elected him president and chairman of the board of American Bank of Commerce, and he bought a heard of buffalo. In the early 2000s he retired as a colonel in the Army Reserve. He said he moved to New Mexico because of its bright days. His social appetite was second only to Bill Clinton's. He loved entertaining and hosting parties at his house and guests were often required to recite poetry. He won oratory competitions in high school. Growing up, he had great respect for his easy-going father, and grandmother who encouraged him to become a lawyer. His father, along with his brother, Mike, managed VA laundry operations. Carol, his sister, resides in Albuquerque. He is survived by his wife and best friend of 63 years Margaret Paine Ussery. (Though he didn't have any money, her father thought he would likely be a good provider. She soon learned he would be high maintenance.) He received his LLB, at University of New Mexico in 1951; his JD, in 1968; and received his LLM from Georgetown University in 1955. He was admitted to the Bar in NM in 1951 and since practiced in Albuquerque. He became chairman of the board of American Bank of Commerce in 1965, and formed Rio Grande Valley Bank in 1972. In 1977 he started one of the first government partnered small business investment companies. . From 1956-66 he was a special counsel to the City of Albuquerque on water law. He kept a herd of buffalo at his residence on Rio Grande Blvd which he ultimately donated to one of his favorite clients - the Pueblo of Sandia. He lectured military, corporate finance and business law at the University of New Mexico, and was president of the estate planning council in 1962. He was chairman of the Advisory Board of Lovelace-Bataan Medical Center from 1976-78, president of the NM Zoological Society from 1977-78, president of the NM Arthritis Foundation in 1971, commodore of the American Legion from 1962-63, and on the board of directors of Albuquerque Symphony Association from 1964-68, and Goodwill Industries of New Mexico from 1957-65. He served in JAG, the Pentagon, Washington, DC. After Albert's retirement in 2010 he became involved in a world discussion group in his neighborhood -- "Great Decisions". His primary hobby was world church organization. He was a member of the Kiwanis Club in Albuquerque since 1957. He attended Saint Marks church for over 50 years. He delighted in his four children: Margaret Byers and her husband George Byers of San Antonio Texas, John Ussery of Albuquerque, Marilyn Uilk and her husband Steve Uilk of Longmont, CO, Meredith Anderson and husband Allan Anderson of Denver, CO and his grandchildren Neil Bodo and wife Sarah, Jordan Kroneberger (and wife Gui), Maggie Beth Byers, Madison Uilk, Rianne Uilk, Katie Uilk, Chester Anderson and Marlo Anderson and beloved cat Samantha. All adored their grandfather. His brother Mike passed away in Amarillo in 2006. He was passionate about the correct use of the English language with his children.
