Johnny Carney
Sept. 23, 1925 – Nov. 9, 2013
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Johnny Carney passed away peacefully on Nov. 9, after a short illness at the age of 88. He was surrounded by family.
Johnny was born in White Plains, New York, but spent most of his childhood in Ireland. He was a World War II Army veteran.
Many residents of Kelseyville will remember Johnny and his two border collies as he walked down Main Street, picking up litter as part of the local adopt-a-highway program.
His cheerful and positive attitude toward life touched everyone he met. Many local businesses, as well as strangers, will tell you that Johnny would greet them with a smile, hand them a flower and give them a kind word. He was like that all of his life and will be missed by many.
Johnny is survived by his five daughters, Shannon, (Rick) Gunier of Lower Lake; Timaree (Bill) Zickuhr of Kennewick, Wash.; Kerry (Paul) Flores of Long Beach; Casey Carney of Kelseyville; and Colleen Brola of Lakeport.
Per his request, there will be no services.
In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to Johnny’s dear friend Dr. Paula Dhanda at World Wide Healing Hands. Please make donations to: Worldwide Healing Hands at 5685 Main St., Kelseyville, CA 95451 or at www.worldwidehealinghands.org .

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Longtime Lake County resident Edward James “Ted” Tolman passed away on Oct. 15 at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital after a short illness. He was 88 years old.
Born on Dec. 17, 1924, in Oakland, Calif., Tolman grew up in Berkeley, the son of noted psychologist and UC professor Edward Chace Tolman.
After serving in the Army in Burma, China and India during World War II, Tolman attended UC Davis and earned a degree in animal husbandry.
He moved to Lake County in 1950 and started Red Hill Ranch along Highway 20 between Nice and Upper Lake.
In the 1960s, Tolman began an 18-year career with the U.S. Forest Service on the Mendocino and Six Rivers National Forests.
He is survived by his son, Russell Tolman of North Hollywood, Calif.; and his sisters, Deborah Whitney (95) of Oakland and Mary Kent (92) of Berkeley; as well as many nieces and nephews in the San Francisco Bay Area.
An avid sailor well into his mid-80s, Tolman was a member of the Konocti Bay Sailing Club and was a past commodore of the Lakeport Yacht Club.
Preceded in death by his beloved wife Dorothy in 1996, Tolman was a resident of Nice since the late 1960s, where he was known to his Beach Street neighbors as “Mr. Neighborhood” for his warm smile, genuine interest, boundless curiosity and friendly, generous spirit.
According to his wishes, Tolman's ashes were scattered off the Marin coast on Oct. 25.
