Dolor Myles Zachman (Zach)
Dec. 23, 1942 — Dec. 29, 2022
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Dolor Myles Zachman, who went by Myles Zachman and was lovingly referred to by friends as “Zach,” passed away in Clearlake, California, where he lived for over 18 years.
Born in San Francisco, California, to Dolor and Jewel Zachman, he lived in the Ingleside neighborhood until the late 1950s when he and other family members relocated to Clearlake.
In 1970 Myles signed up with the Army and was honorably discharged in 1974.
Myles spent his adult years living in the Bay Area doing what he loved as a career and hobby. He was a diesel truck mechanic graduate, and a truck driver.
His hobbies included racing and football. He was a die-hard San Francisco 49er fan and you could find him racing his 1970 Chevelle on the ¼ mile track on any given weekend.
In his later years he had picked up another love of life in the Hallmark Channel! His children were known to tease him about his new love often but, in reality knew it alluded to the loving, sweet-hearted man those who loved him knew him to be. He will truly be missed.
Myles is predeceased by his son Dolor Myles Zachman Jr. and his younger brother Richard “Dick” Zachman.
Myles is survived by his sister, Diane; sister-in-law, Sharon; and his three daughters, Jewlie, Tracy and Rachel.
He is also survived by his eight grandchildren, Jessica, Myla, Azure, Ella, Cade, Sienna, Amber and Serenity; and two great-grandchildren, Victoria and Jackson.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Cecil A. Raetz passed away on Jan. 30, 2023.
Cecil was born in Marysville, California, on Nov. 7, 1935.
He was a United States Marine for 22 years, retiring in 1975 with the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant.
That year, he moved with his wife, Roberta, son, Klark, and daughter, Kim to Lakeport to build their geodesic dome home.
In later years, Cecil and Roberta traveled the country in their RV, eventually settling in Shelton, Washington.
After living in Washington for a number of years, Cecil and Roberta moved to Arizona, where Roberta later passed.
Cecil then returned to Upper Lake, California, where he has lived for years with his son Klark.
Cecil loved playing golf most of his life, and later on, he enjoyed watching golf on TV and
napping in his recliner with his dogs at his side.
Cecil’s career in the Marine Corps made him the man he was and positively affected the way he approached life, passing it on to both family and friends.
Cecil is survived by his sons, Keith and Klark; his daughter, Kim; and his siblings, Ron, Steve, Barbara and Patty.
He will be greatly missed. Semper Fi.
A potluck memorial service for Cecil will be held at p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11, at the American Legion Hall in Kelseyville, located at 505 Second St. and Gaddy Lane.
