LINVER, JOSEPH Age 95, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 8, 2013. Joe was born in Detroit, MI in 1918 to parents Harry and Ida Linver. He grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where he was graduated from the University of Toledo in 1939. At TU, he was a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, played intramural sports, and was a sports editor of the newspaper. He then served in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945, achieving the rank of Lieutenant Senior Grade, serving first in public relations as speechwriter for the Navy admirals in Chicago, and then with the Pacific fleet off Okinawa, Japan. In 1942, he met Betty Levine in Kansas City, and married her in 1943. After the war ended, he and Betty moved back to Toledo, where Joe joined his father at the Linver-Kripke Division of Wabash Scrap Materials Company, remaining as president until 1970. During his tenure there, he developed an innovative container system for separating and safely transporting surplus materials. Joe then launched a second career in developing commercial real estate properties, concentrating on small shopping centers and restaurants. In 1986, Joe and Betty moved to Albuquerque, where he continued his involvement in real estate development. While in Toledo, he was involved in various community activities, including expansion of the Jewish Community Center. He was then and continued to be a strong advocate for the University of Toledo Alumni Association, even after his move to Albuquerque. All his life, he was an enthusiastic naturalist, a voracious reader, and a passionate patron of the arts. He loved jazz and classical music and Yiddish and Broadway Theater, as well as all the great artists of the 20th century. He himself developed considerable skill as an artist in his later years. He was an avid sports fan and inveterate golfer and fly fisherman, especially enjoying the quality waters of the San Juan River. As much as Joe embraced life, he loved his family even more. He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Betty; son, Dr. Michael Linver and his wife Mina Jo of Albuquerque, son, Preston Linver and his wife Debbi of Seminole Florida, daughter, Janet Anderson and her husband Sven of Detroit, and daughter, Rochelle Davidson of Kansas City; as well as nine grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

LAUSER, MARTHA LOUISE lived 92 full and active years. She was born September 5, 1920 in Chariton, Iowa and died on March 2nd, 2013 in Albuquerque, New Mexico surrounded by love, in the home of her son. Marta lived the last 30 years of her life in her beloved Ponderosa, NM in the Jemez mountains. Marta had a life-long love affair with horses and rode until she was in her 70s. She was an avid gardener and planter of trees, resulting in an oasis in the desert. She was an adventurous cook and seamstress. She had a degree from the University of New Mexico in Physical Education with a minor in Southwest History. Marta raised her family in the North Valley of Albuquerque, along with chickens, dogs, cats, horses, cows, guineas, turkeys, rabbits and pigeons! She helped organize and create libraries at Mission Elementary School and at Harwood United Methodist Church, where she was an active member for over 50 years. Marta was a founding member of the Albuquerque Association for Retarded Children, now known as the ARCA Foundation. Because of her daughter Sue, she recognized and worked to help establish opportunities and support for families and their children with developmental delays. She enjoyed reading, especially Western novels, and did so until the last weeks of her life. She valued natural and healthy living. Some might have called her a health nut! She was preceded in death by her parents, Scott and Ethel Hulick, her husband, Kent Lauser, her son, Dean, daughter Sue, and her only sibling, Ray Hulick. She is survived by three children, Kenna del Sol, Linda Hunter and Don Lauser and their spouses.
