Many of his friends have made the comment that when they were growing up Tommy always had a cool car and many reminiscent about the "racing" years. Many called him "Burke" instead of Tommy. He worked many years in the oil field industry. Tommy was a hard worker who could pick up the knowledge to do well on just about any job without prior experience. Pipelining led him all over the United States and in later years to India, Mexico, Canada, and Egypt. When he was home he farmed and ranched. There are not many fields around the county that he didn't plant, cut, or bale hay. He loved to raise and care for his goats. It was hard to get Tommy to attend a family reunion or social event, but if he did go, he did not have any trouble smiling and socializing. Many remember visiting and "cutting up" with him at his daughter's store on highway 29. He enjoyed visiting with Roy Lee Nobles and friends at the garage and going with Roy Lee every week to the car sales in Austin. Many descriptions of Tommy include "big ole teddy bear" and "good ole boy." Other comments have been "kind," "highly thought of," and "respect." He was a good friend and the best dad and grandfather in the whole world and will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.
Tommy is survived by his daughter Janet Hackworth and husband Jason of Llano, granddaughter Kaitlyn Hackworth of Llano, sister JoNell Owen of San Antonio, and many extended family and friends.

After graduating from college, they lived and raised their family in Mason, Plainview, Hereford, Alpine and Uvalde before returning to Llano full-time in 2003.
Gail taught elementary school and went on to earn a masters degree in Education. She was proud to have followed her mother's footsteps as a teacher and proud to have a daughter and granddaughters that followed in hers.
Gail was well-known for her ever-present smile, quick laugh and enthusiasm for life. If someone asked, "Gail, do you want to …?", her answer was always, "Yes!" She was an active member of Lutie Watkins Methodist Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir, participating in mission and volunteer activities, and many friends.

William R. Shipp (Bill)
William R. Shipp, Jr (Bill) passed away peacefully in his beloved town of Llano on June 6. He was 87.
Bill was born on December 6, 1928 in Hamilton, Texas; the only child of Julia Christianson Shipp and William R. Shipp. He grew up in Priddy, Texas, where he excelled in sports- particularly basketball, tennis, and baseball. He attended and graduated from Daniel Baker College, which became part of the Howard Payne University system. While in school, he met Anna Belle Wasserman on a blind date. The two were wed at 20 years of age.
Bill coached and taught social studies for a year at Llano ISD. Deciding that a job indoors was not for him, he entered DPS patrol school. After graduating from DPS academy, he was called to serve in the military. He was stationed in Germany near Stuttgart, where he was an officer in the military police, after the German surrender in World War II.
After his stint in the army, Bill returned home and was stationed in Llano as a DPS officer, a position he held and enjoyed for 35 years. Upon his retirement, Llano declared a Bill Shipp Day, and a community-wide banquet was given in his honor. Among the gifts and awards he received were the flag that had flown over the Texas State Capitol the day he retired.
Bill made lifelong friends in Llano. He was a Mason and was part of the "Corner Drug Crowd" for decades that met every morning for coffee and spirited conversation. He and the domino-playing group met at many locales, the last being what Bill called, "North of Town", referring to Dan Hoerster's place in the county. An avid sportsman, Bill and his friends would travel to Colorado each year to hunt in the Fall.
Bill's later life was made rich by his grandsons. He loved to help with and watch their activities. He never missed a single practice, performance, or game.
Bill leaves behind his wife of 67 years, Anna Wasserman Shipp, his daughter, Karla Van Item and husband Ken, his grandsons Walker and Cameron Van Item, nieces Brenda Durst and Jean Wallace, and nephews William and John Buttery.
Whether on the job, around town, or watching a ball game, almost everyone in Llano County can tell an iconic "Bill Shipp" story.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Llano Youth Baseball, PO Box 16, Llano, Texas 78643 or Llano Athletics Booster Club, PO Box 182, Llano, Texas 78643.

George Frederick Schurz
Where Never Was Heard A Discouraging Word
George Frederick Schurz was born December 27, 1923 in Burt, North Dakota to John and Frieda Schurz. George was the eldest of two children, having a sister Rosalie. George attended school in Burt and Mott, North Dakota, graduating from Mott high school in 1941 as valedictorian. After high school he moved to Modesto, California where his Uncle Fred and Aunt Elsie Beyer were both educators. He attended Modesto Junior College, distinguishing himself academically, studying chemistry. He completed Modesto Junior College's two year course in 1943, graduating as salutatorian.
George joined the United States Army in March 1944, during WWII. He saw combat in the Asia-Pacific theatre during the battle of Okinawa; the last and biggest of the Pacific island battles.
After his honorable discharge from the Army in 1946, George enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in June of 1948. Immediately after graduation, George joined The Dow Chemical Company, working at their Pittsburg, CA location for nineteen years as a research chemist, specializing in the new field of enhanced oil recovery. In 1967 he transferred to Houston, Texas to be manager of Dow's enhanced oil recovery program. He would work in the Houston office until 1980 when he took early retirement to become an independent consultant for the petroleum industry. In his 32 years with Dow Chemical, George achieved distinction as a leading expert in enhanced oil recovery, and travelled extensively sharing his knowledge with the Petroleum industry until he retired in 2000.
It was at Dow that Dad met the love of his life, Lula Mae Bonham, a Texas native who had moved to California in 1947. She had two children from a previous marriage: Travis Bonham born in Texas and Ronald Bonham born in California. Lula and George were married in October 1960, eleven years after they first met. For the next seven years they lived on 10 acres of grapes near Oakley, CA, a period George and Lula would say was the happiest of their lives. In 1967 they moved to Houston, when George transferred with Dow Chemical and lived there until 2000, when they moved back to California to once again live "on the ranch". Lula passed away suddenly in 2003 and George would reflect that life just wasn't much fun anymore without Lula.
George was a very physically active man during his long life and it wasn't until his mid-80s that he gave up running for fun and exercise. He was a competitive distance runner at Modesto Junior College, running in the first Modesto Relays. He once ran the mile in 4mins 30 sec, when it was thought no one could break the 4-minute barrier. This love of running stayed with George all his life and he last participated in the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco when he was in his 80s.
In addition to his hobby as a grape grower, George and Lula were avid bridge players. They played both socially and in competitive duplicate bridge tournaments. George was also a famed tinkerer and avid collector of "precious" junk. The chaos that is called his garage and the 8 cars and old tractor that are still "on the ranch" are a testament to this.
George lived a long and fruitful life and passed away peacefully on April 27, 2016 due to pulmonary and respiratory complications. He was 92. His son Travis died in 2013. He is survived by his son Ronald Bonham, two nephews, Jonathan and Steven Ellis, two nieces, Susan Ellis and Sandy Silva, his five grandchildren, Christian Bonham, Laura Thompson, Jeffrey Bonham, Richard Bonham, Kristin Newman and six great grandchildren, Avery and Blaire Thompson, Grace and Jackson Bonham, Riley and Cooper Newman, as well as 8 grandnieces and nephews, Stephanie, and Sean Ellis, Becky, David, and Sarah Silva and Jonathan, Jacob and Katie Ellis.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8King James Version (KJV)
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
There is a special Angel, there's a special Angel in Heaven that is a part of me. It is not where I wanted her to be. She was here but just a moment like a night time shooting star. And though she is in Heaven she isn't very far. She touched the heart of many like only an Angel can do. I would've held her every minute if the end I only knew. So I send this special message to the Heaven up above. Please take care of my Angel and send her all my love. – Love, Armani, Derrick, Glaston and Frank III.

Kirk Hodges
Kirk Hodges, surrounded by his wife and 3 boys, joined hands with Jesus and was escorted to heaven on Wednesday, April 20th, 2016 in Luling, TX. Known as Kirk, "Hon", Dad, Grandad, son, baby brother, Uncle Kirk and friend, he is now surrounded by his father Alton "Grandaddy Hodges", his mother Myrtle "Nan", his step-father Jim Furr "daddy" and "Pa", his brother Alton "Sandy", his sister Jerree, and his daughter Tammy.
He is survived by his wife Dianne Hodges of Luling, TX, his three sons: Stan Hodges of Hull, TX, Chad Hodges of Helotes, TX, and Bret and his wife Christi Hodges of Spring Branch, TX; four grandchildren: Dylan Hodges age 17, Alton Hodges age 14, Ashleigh Hodges age 13, and Dalton Hodges age 8; two sisters: Erwinna Fain of Llano, Elaine Fowler of Rotan.
Kirk's parents Alton and Myrtle were raising three young children, Erwinna, Sandy, and Elaine when Alton was drafted during World War II. Deployed to the Philippines, he soon would learn from one of his many love letters from Myrtle that they were expecting their fourth child, Kirk. Alton gave the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life defending his country from the greatest tyranny known in history and therefore would never hold his baby boy.
Born and raised in Llano, TX, Kirk grew up loving the outdoors. He spent much of his time raising pigs and hunting coons with his brother-in-law Dewey Fain and his side kick dog Tinkerbell. Well liked by many friends, he was especially close to Frosty Miller who remained a life-long friend.
Kirk graduated from Llano High School in 1964 where he excelled in football, basketball, and track. Kirk's mile relay team held the school record for many years...one that wouldn't be broken until his own nephews Kevin Fain and Craig Hodges's team did so in the 70's. His sprint relay team also set the school record that remains to this day. He married his high school sweetheart Dianne Nalls on May 22nd 1964. They attended Sul Ross University in Alpine, TX and graduated from college in 1967. He went on to receive his masters degree in corrective therapy from Eastern Washington State University in 1969.
Kirk, inspired by his father's own sacrifice, dedicated his career to working with veterans fostering peace and hope to those who had served their country. He spent his entire 27 years working in the medical field as a corrective therapist and later served as the coordinator of rehab medicine at the Audie Murphy Veterans Hospital in San Antonio before his retirement in 2000. He was elected the President of the American Corrective Therapy Association in 1976 and received the Outstanding Corrective Therapy Award from the National Association in 1977.
Kirk, having never known his biological father, was especially dedicated to being a dad to his and Dianne's three boys. He instilled character, values, and leadership which would become his legacy. Kirk spent much of his time actively coaching his sons in their early years while they played football, basketball, and baseball both in Tennessee and in Boerne, TX. He and Dianne would stay very involved in their boys' lives as they became men. They constantly attended sporting events coached by his sons Stan and Bret and even became actively involved with many players and other coaches on their respective teams. Kirk also had the opportunity to work with his son Chad for a couple of years at the VA before his retirement. As the years passed and as grandchildren came along, Kirk and Dianne became known as Gramma and Grandad. They enjoyed their lives chasing their grandkids and attending their sporting events. Grandad loved bonding and sharing his love of ranching and the great outdoors with his grandchildren.
His love for others went well beyond his immediate family as he cherished his nieces, nephews and countless extended family and friends.
Kirk and Dianne were blessed with 52 wonderful years of marriage.

David Earl Penney Sr.
David Earl Penney, 55, finished his race and passed away peacefully in his home Saturday, April 16th, 2016 after a short battle with cancer.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Abbie Shannon Penney; his daughter Tiffany Penney Berrio, her husband Alan and their daughters Allie, Kora, and Chloe of Whitney, TX; his son David Penney, Jr. and wife Stormy of Austin; his son Franky J Penney, wife Tosha, and their children Hailey, Franky Jr., and Emily; and his son Aiden Penney, all of Cherokee. He also leaves behind four sisters, two brothers, many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and countless friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.
David was born in Austin, TX, on April 22, 1960 to Frank and Winnie Penney and grew up in the Austin area. As a young man he spent two years in the Marine Reserves. He met Abbie Shannon in May of 1979 on a blind date and married her one month later on June 17, 1979. She was and always will be his angel.
David became a truck driver at an early age and drove trucks for many years before being involved in a truck accident that disabled him. The majority of his career was spent driving for Jacobs & Son Trucking in San Saba where his boss, Tony Jacobs, and the Jacobs clan quickly became as dear to him as family. After the accident, he spent the next twelve years working side-by-side with Abbie on odd jobs such as mowing lawns, cleaning houses, building pallets, and junking scrap metals. They were best friends and perfect business partners.
David had the imagination of a child. He was constantly discovering shapes in the clouds or trees...or absolutely anywhere for that matter. "See that tree shaped like a dinosaur?" he would say. "Doesn't this chicken nugget look like a squirrel?" "That cloud looks exactly like Alf." "Look at that, guys! Can you see the face?"
David was also a jokester at heart with a special talent for corny jokes. The cheesier, the better. He would laugh until his whole body shook and he turned bright red. Anyone who spent any amount of time with him had probably fallen victim to one of his pranks. He especially loved to jump out from behind a door and scare the daylights out of his unsuspecting victims. He could often be found giggling until he couldn't breathe because he had just dumped an ice-cold cup of water on some innocent shower-taker.
As much as David loved finding faces and joking around, he loved The Lord more. He gave his heart to Jesus in 1997 and was never the same. He proclaimed the love of God to anyone who would listen. He almost always wore a Christian t-shirt and used them to open a door to speak to people about the love of God and His perfect salvation. He was generous and genuine. He earnestly cared about people and would literally give his last dollar (or a bag of groceries or even his car) to a friend or even a stranger in need. He didn't have much in the way of earthly wealth, but in faith, character, kindness, integrity, respect, and love he was a rich, rich man indeed.
A funeral service will be held Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at the Cherokee Baptist Church at 4:00 PM with burial at Cherokee Cemetery. Reverend Welton Watson and Reverend Alan Berrio will be officiating.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Central Baptist Church Childrens Ministry, 1001 W. Brown St, San Saba, Texas 78677

Perry Ray Roemer
Perry Ray Roemer of Llano passed away unexpectedly on April 3, 2016 at the age of 44. Perry was born on July 26, 1971 to Pamela Roemer and Larry Reese. Pamela later married Johnny Hawkins and the bond between he and Perry was undeniable.
Perry was a man of many trades but concrete work was his calling and he could finish concrete like no other. Perry spent many years working on the pipeline, and was also an excellent mechanic and could take just about anything apart, repair it, and put it back together.
Most of all Perry loved his kids and they were his pride and joy. He enjoyed spending time with them doing activities like fishing, and loved nothing more than cutting up and wrestling with them. He enjoyed watching them in all their activities and was always a proud dad in the stands. Perry was an outspoken rough and tuff tumbleweed and took great pleasure in passing that on to his kids.
His hobbies included Bar-B-Que cook-offs, hunting, fishing, and dancing. Perry was a simple man and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Hanging out with friends on the bed of a pick-up truck, or sitting around the back yard telling stories was where he found the most pleasure. Perry will be remembered most for his sense of humor. Perry was funny! If you were in his presence, you were laughing! He could tell a story and have the room in stitches with his dramatic expressions, and storytelling ability that only he had! The man never met a stranger and considered everyone a friend.
Perry was proud to be on the Lucky L Cookers BBQ Cook-off team, he was a member of the Llano Christmas Lighting Committee, and was on the Llano Youth Soccer Building Committee. Perry volunteered many hours during the construction of the Llano Youth Soccer complex where he took the lead on all the concrete work, and also volunteered many hours during the original construction of the Moore Baseball Complex. His heart was of gold and he was always there when anyone needed his help. He never turned anyone away that was in need, if he had something you needed you can bet he would give it to you in the blink of an eye.
Perry is survived by two sons - Eric Roemer from Smithville, and Hunter Roemer of Llano. One daughter - Jayla Roemer of Llano. His mother - Pamela Roemer of Waco, Brothers; Johnny Hawkins Jr and David Hawkins of San Angelo, Tim Watson of Llano, and Curtis Watson of Waco. Girlfriend Christina Asfeld and her daughter Seriah Bartram of Granite Shoals. Grandparents: Howard and Lynn Kilgore of Austin.

Check also the other styles of PO3105VMin our 2015, and 2016 Persol range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The panto optic of the frame belongs to the classics. Since its design in the 20s, it has celebrated one comeback after another. Today it combines the vintage style with hip fashion trends and puts the finishing touch to any outfit. The phantos optic suits almost every face shape, because of their roundish cut lenses. The particular difference about this model is the location of the bridge and temples, which are positioned higher than in other eyeglasses. This property makes the face and eyes look bigger. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The PO3105VM is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist.
