Anton Fraps

   Anton Fraps (1936 - 2013)

Obituary

Anton E. (Tony) Fraps, III , 76, passed away September 12, 2013. Anton was a long time member of the First United Methodist Church of Houston, Texas.

Tony was born in Miami, Florida on December 19, 1936. He loved to go to the beach with his mom and dad. As a child, Tony and his parents moved to Houston where he spent the rest of his life.

Anton graduated from Mirabeau B. Lamar High School where he met many of his lifelong friends and acquaintances. He then attended University of Houston from 1955- 1961, majoring in electrical engineering, physics, and mathematics.

"Fraps," as many of his cohorts and friends called him, was part "mad inventor," part entrepreneur, part family man, and yet was always quick witted and fun to be around.

Anton worked for General Electric, Wellex, and Otis Elevators before striking out on his own in construction and real estate. He also ventured in other enterprises, including air conditioning and oil and gas. He was a member of the United Property Association and became very close friends with the "Group."

Anton kept busy with property acquisitions and management and assorted construction activities, but always found time for "get-aways" with his family to many exotic destinations.

Anton enjoyed fishing, sailing, entertaining, snorkeling, swimming, and vacationing. He was a skilled dancer and had a unique humorous personality. However, Anton relished in the game of real life Monopoly in which he usually won. He was the "eternal optimist," kept a good attitude and loved to make people laugh. Whenever Anton spoke about the real estate business, people usually listened. Those of us that remain will sorely miss his presence, optimism and inspiration. We will also miss his "contagious smile." Anton will also be remembered as being a true lover of animals and especially having a great connection with dogs. He left behind his beloved and adorable malti-poo, Tasha. We love you Anton and will never forget our time together and your love for us.

Tony is survived by his wife of 33 years, Martha Puckett Fraps, his brother George E. Fraps, sons: Anton Fraps IV and Alex Fraps, and three grandchildren: Helen, Sunny, and Anton V, as well as, many nephews and nieces. The family would like to thank Dr. Kirit Desai and New Century Hospice, who made him comfortable in his final days. To all of our family and friends who have showered us with thoughts, prayers, and everything you have done is greatly appreciated and comforted us during this difficult time.

Visitation services will be Monday, September 16, 2013 from 6-8 pm at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home. Services celebrating the life of Anton Fraps, III will be held at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home Chapel, on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, at 3:00 pm, concluding services Tony will be laid to rest at Memorial Oaks Cemetery. Tony's family and friends will gather for refreshments in the Memorial Event and Reception Room at Memorial Oaks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the First United Methodist Church, Houston, Texas

Jim Macredie (1937 - 2013)

Obituary

THOMAS JAMES "JIM" MACREDIE, JR.

On August 31, 2013, God guided his loyal son, Jim Macredie, home. Jim was surrounded by loved ones in Houston, during the many months of his illness.

Jim was born in Galveston, TX on Christmas day 1937, to Thomas James and Harriett Osborne Macredie, who preceded him in death. He grew up in Palestine and Houston and graduated from Lamar High School. He worked his way through the University of Houston graduating in 1963. Jim then began a 45 year career in the oil and gas industry starting at Texaco as a land man. Other positions he held include the Director of Contract Administration at TXU Energy Trading Company, Co-President of Termac Energy and Vice President of Energy Marketing and Regulatory Affairs at Mitchell Energy Corporation. Jim was also a long term member of the Old Time Gas Buyers Association. Professionally he will be remembered for his mentoring ability and the positive influence he had on the careers of many industry professionals. When Jim retired from TXU in 2007, he took his entire family to a villa in Puerto Vallarta to celebrate. He referred to that trip as "lightening in a bottle" and it was. If Jim planned the show, it was first rate and fun.

Jim is survived by his wife, Yvonne Dalferes Macredie. Their devotion to each other was as unwavering as their faith. Jim fell for Yvonne after tasting her brownies at a networking event. Sight unseen, he jokingly asked whoever baked the treats to marry him. Yvonne laughingly responded "Yes." The couple married 3 years later on June 4, 1992. The success of their marriage can be attributed to mutual respect, great humor and Jim's love of brownies.

Other survivors include Jim's sister and her husband, Martha and Buddy Kies; his daughters and their husbands, Ally and Chris McCormick, and Erin and Mike Hartman; his stepson and his wife, Mark and Jessica Gregory; and his stepdaughter, Monique Gregory. He is survived by nine grandchildren: Hailey and Alex Hartman, Connor and Max McCormick, Keegan, Joel and Kyleigh Gregory, and Michael and John Cangelosi; and the mother of his children, Janie Macredie. He was loved dearly and will be missed by all.

A Memorial Service to celebrate Jim's life will be held at St. Laurence Catholic Church, 3100 Sweetwater Blvd., Sugar Land, TX 77479, at 10:00 AM, on Saturday, September 14, 2013.

The family and friends will gather for a Vigil and Visitation at TheSettegast-Kopf Co. @ Sugar Creek, 15015 Southwest Fwy., Sugar Land (Williams Trace Exit), from 6:00-8:00 PM, on Friday, September 13, 2013.

In lieu of flowers, Jim requested that donations in his memory be made to the Building Fund at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, 1821 Academy Road, Grand Coteau, LA 70541.

Tom Sharkey

Longtime Aspen resident Sharkey dies at 75
 Michael McLaughlin
The Aspen Times 7/27/2013

Thomas Sharkey was a man who wore many hats in Aspen.
Whether it was as an interior designer,skier, hiker, minister or
friend to almost anyone who met him, one always could
count on a smile and kind word from thelongtime Aspen resident.
Sharkey, who was 75, died Thursday morning (July 24, 2013) at his
home after a decade long battle with interstitial lung disease. His
son, Gary, daughter, K.T., and family friend Ruben Bonomi were at
his side. “As a child, you learn so much from
your father,” Gary Sharkey said. “He was
always teaching us about life, and even in
his death, he continued to teach by showing such grace and peace.
He was quite amazing.” K.T. Sharkey agreed with her brother
and said her father could always make the best of any situation.
“He passed away smiling,” she said. “My father made it a beautiful
experience.” Thomas Sharkey came to Aspen from
Texas in the early 1960s and was an avid outdoorsman.
This year marked the 50th anniversary of when he moved to Aspen.
He loved to ski, snowshoe and hike but not nearly as
much as he enjoyed the people and personalities of
Aspen.  “My dad couldn’t go 10 steps in Aspen without someone stopping
him to say hello,” K.T. Sharkey said. “This was his community, and
he loved it.” He immersed himself into the Aspen
culture and became a fixture with the Aspen Art Museum, the Music
Associates of Aspen and the Aspen Historical Society.
He was also a ski ambassador who could always be found smiling and
helping on the slopes, even while wearing an oxygen
tank on his back.
“Tom was so energetic,” said longtime
friend Terry Butler, of Aspen. “He was everywhere, always
having fun. Tom loved to know about people and life. He
was a beautiful soul and never had one bad thing to say
about anybody. He was kind through and through. He really
loved Aspen and its people.”
How much did Sharkey love Aspen? The man had his
phone number changed so the last four digits read 7908,
the elevation of Aspen.
“Tom lived his life out loud,” Butler said. “He didn’t let
his sickness slow him down. He often seemed to laugh his
worries away.”
Sharkey was also a minister who married many couples
in Aspen and spoke at many funerals. He was at ease comforting
other people.
Carol Fuller moved to Aspen in 1973 but became friends
with Sharkey in the late 1960s when she was visiting here.
Fuller considered Sharkey her closest friend for the past
40 years.
She talked of how he would call her daily, often more
than once, just to wish her a great day and tell her he
hoped the sky was as blue over her house as it was over
his.
“Tom walked through life without ego,” Fuller said. “He
really took pride in being local. He was the heart and soul
of happiness, and he brought it out in everyone around
him.”
When he was volunteering with the various Aspen
groups he was involved with, he was always the first to
help, the first to make sure visitors were being taken care
of and the last to leave until the work was done.
Sharkey had a special connection with the Aspen Historical
Society and helped in many capacities over the
years. He was involved with it for more than 20 years and
was the secretary for the board of trustees.
Georgia Hanson has been the president and CEO of the
Historical Society for the past decade and says Sharkey’s
enthusiasm and willingness to help in any capacity will be
irreplaceable.
“Tom was my No. 1 champion,” Hanson said. “His devotion
to our society defies description. He seemed to know
everyone in town and made everyone around him smile.”
Hanson talked of how Sharkey insisted on helping at
the recent 30th-anniversary block party for the Historical
Society despite being in a wheelchair. Just Monday, Sharkey
asked if the board of trustees would mind having its
executive meeting at his house, which it did.
“He was thrilled to be part of that meeting,” Hanson
said. “I had no idea it would mean so much to him. Tom
just loved to be with friends and be festive. He will be
missed.”
The family does not plan on having a public funeral but
will have a public celebration in Aspen in the near future.
