eioices Augustine R. Souza April 05, 1930 June 18, 2017 TULARE Augustine R. Souza, 87, of Visalia, passed from earth to heaven on June 18, 2017. A.R. was born in Tulare on April 5, 1930, to Portuguese immigrants, Benjamin and Jesuina Souza.

He grew up on a family-owned dairy and fruit orchard in rural Visalia where he learned many skills that would serve him well his entire life. His love of nature and animals, especially horses, was fostered during his youth. A.R. was especially close to his sister and her husband, Carmen and Richard Ayres of Woodlake, and he lived with them on their horse ranch, Shady Acres, for several years as a young adult where his love of horses and horsemanship flourished. They often took pack trips together in the high country of the Sierras.

He loved breaking colts and training race horses, and even competed in rodeos as a bull rider and bareback bronc rider. One of his first jobs was doing heavy equipment excavation work with Richard. At that time, if they needed dynamite to assist them in their work, they would simply purchase a few sticks from the local hardware store! He was very proud to have served his country as a member of the United States Army from 1951-1953 and was a Korean War Veteran. He later worked in a sawmill in Johnsondale, California, where he met the love of his life, Carol Ann Kelin. They were wed in 1954 and celebrated 51 years together until her passing in 2005.

After he was married, he worked as a relief milker at various local dairies. His knowledge, work ethic, and dependability kept him in high demand, and he often worked six days a week. However, he would never accept a job on a Sunday, as he reserved that day to spend with his family. It was his desire to have more time with his wife and children that led A.R. to accept a job in construction, first as a carpenter and later as a ceramic tile apprentice.

He spent over 30 years as a ceramic tile setter where he was known for his fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. He had many hobbies and interests over the years including team roping, hunting, fishing, backpacking, running, woodworking, and gardening. He also enjoyed vacationing at Pismo Beach, as well as fishing and camping with his wife in the Sierras. After retiring, he became an active member of the Tulare County Trap Club where he made many friends, and in 2000, he won the title of California State Senior Veterans Handicap Champion. He and Carol also enjoyed several memorable cruises and excursions throughout the United States and Canada with their dear friends, Bill and Gloria Crow of Exeter.

As a father, A.R. enjoyed taking his family fishing, hunting, and camping, while teaching them to appreciate and respect nature. He taught himself to play the guitar and led many country western sing-alongs to the delight of his family and friends. He also loved being involved in his children's activities including Little League baseball and youth rodeo. In recent years, he thoroughly enjoyed cheering on his grandchildren at their various school and sporting events, as well.

A.R. is survived by his four children, Ronnie (Karen) Souza of Visalia, Leonard Souza of Visalia, Stephanie (Rick) Hetherington of Clovis, and J.P. Souza of Exeter; his sister-in-law Lila (Delton) Morris of North Carolina, eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, five nephews, and two nieces. He is preceded in death by his wife Carol, his parents Benjamin and Jesuina Souza, his brother Tony Souza, and his sisters Emma (Ed) Edwardson, and Carmen (Richard) Ayres. He will be remembered by his family as a kind, humble, hardworking, and compassionate man of great integrity.

He will be dearly missed, but we pray his legacy of these admirable qualities will live on. It also brings his family comfort knowing that he loved God and will live on with Him in eternity. The family wishes to thank his Casa Grande Assisted Living "family" of caregivers for their patience, love, and compassion. A private family memorial gathering will be held in the fall. Ted Robert (Bob) Walters September 02, 1927 June 06, 2017 EXETER, CALIFORNIA Ted Robert (Bob) Walters, husband of Diane, father of six children, and great friend to many, passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on June 6, 2017.

Bob was born in Amelia, September 2, 1927 to Fred and Linda (Gilster) Walters. He was the youngest of four children. The Walters family later moved to Southern California to raise their family and for better weather. Bob grew up around horses on their ranch that later became part of Laguna Beach. Bob attended Laguna Beach High School and Fullerton High School, where he received his diploma.

During World War II he enlisted into the U.S. Navy at the age of 17. Soon after his discharge, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo recruited him to play basketball which he did for one season. However, baseball was his strongest sport and he started playing professional baseball in Riverside, CA. At about this same time, Bob met and fell in love with a beautiful young lady, Diane Lee Randall.

Bob and Diane married on April 13, 1950 and soon after went to Billings, MT, where Bob played for the farm club of the Brooklyn Dodgers. After this season ended, Bob and Diane returned to Southern California as their family quickly expanded. Valinda was born January 1, 1951 and before they knew it four more children joined them, Julie, Janice, Becky and Ted. The family moved from Southern California to Woodlake so Bob could help with Diane's father's citrus nursery business in the spring of 1961. Woodlake was where they wanted to raise their family and there added to the family their sixth child, Jodi.

Diane and Bob raised and supported their family with a whole lot of love, laughter and respect. Later, Bob started working for Perma-Rain Irrigation in Lindsay in sales and irrigation system designs. He was very much a people person and this job was a good fit. It was through this opportunity that he met many citrus ranchers that soon become friends as well. Bob's reputation as an honest, reliable, hardworking and intelligent man that also possessed a keen sense of humor, quick wit, and amazing memory made for a successful career.

He continued working in that same field and eventually started Agri-Mall Irrigation in Woodlake. Towards the end of his professional career, he made many trips to Uruguay, South America, as a citrus irrigation consulting engineer and did work for several very large ranching operations. With his agri-business background, and having become completely fluent in Spanish as a young man working in California agriculture, he was uniquely suited for this opportunity. As would be typical with his wonderful personality, Bob for years maintained friendships with many people he had met in Uruguay. Bob was a well-respected and well-liked man in the community.

Participating in community activities was important to Bob. He was a Rotarian, President of the Woodlake High Quarterback Club, a 4-H leader, an Indian Guides and Maidens member, timed at swim meets, member of the fast pitch softball team and supported and attended many Woodlake High sporting events. For fun and sport, Bob was an avid outdoorsman. Bob made sure the family always had some horses around and used them on pack trips to the high country for fishing and deer hunting. He was a skilled cowboy that team roped and gathered cattle for friend's round ups and brandings.

Golf was also an activity he loved and excelled in. In later years, he joined the Visalia Valley Oaks men's club and later joined the Exeter men's group. Golf was a fun social time for both Bob and Diane and they had many friends that enjoyed traveling together and golfing at different courses. Bob leaves behind six children- Valinda Clevenger (Fred), Julie Smith (Jim), Janice Hansen (David), Becky Baker (Craig), Ted Walters (Stacie) and Jodi Parks. Also, 14 grandchildren, 12 greatgrandchildren, seven nieces, and three nephews.

Bob was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Diane, one brother, and two sisters. Family from all over the country are gathering on what would have been his 90th birthday to celebrate the life of this wonderful father and friend. He was well loved, and will be missed.
