William "Willy" Dale Martinez passed away suddenly at the age of 56 years old surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on July 19, 1955, Cantua Creek, CA to Manuel and Vivian Martinez.
Roy Uyeno, 88, was born in Hollister, CA and was a long-time resident of Gilroy, CA with his late wife, Helen Haruye Uyeno, where he worked as a farmer. He was a member of the San Jose Betsuin Church and he served in the Army. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and golfer.
You may not have known his name, but if you walked the levee in the early morning hours anytime between 1997 and the present you were probably greeted with a big smile, a friendly "Good Morning"; and saw him walking two little Yorkshire Terriers, Sassy and Max.
