CORE, William, died August 4, 2017. Jory was born in Richmond, CA on March 19, 1967, and raised in Vacaville from the age of seven. A Bulldog at heart that then served in the US Navy aboard the submarine USS Lapon. He returned to Vacaville after his service and met Pamela Sutherlin-Core of San Jose in 1998. They moved to Winters in 2000, married in 2002 and welcomed a son in 2003. He was a loving husband and dedicated father to Jeremy "J.T." Core, Winters. He is also survived by parents, Pat and Billie Core of Vacaville; sister, Patty (Dawson) and her husband Randy; brother, Jeff and his wife Shannon. He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Bill and Helen Schroeder; fraternal grandparents, Charles and Charlotte Harris, and maternal uncle, Chuck Schroeder. Many of the summers of his youth were spent with his siblings and cousins at the Schroeder property outside of Carson City. He worked in the scrap metal industry for about 20 years in Northern California and transferred to Tucson, AZ in 2012. He was diagnosed with a rare benign brain tumor (epidermoid cyst) in October 2016. While initial surgery recovery in Tucson was remarkable, he was plagued by complications and returned to California in June 2017 to be closer to family to further his rehabilitation. He was interested in how things worked (example, grandfather clocks) and would take things apart to see the mechanics. He had a collection of RC trucks in various states of exploration and there may have been an incident with scissors and a blanket. Jory enjoyed swimming with his family, supporting the Dallas Cowboys and watching "geek TV". He will always be remembered for his humor, sarcasm, wit and infectious laughter. He often assigned nicknames to people and was never opposed to lending a hand to friends in need. He was a tell it like it is man that believed in hard work and integrity.After a valiant fight, the cyst growth ultimately made recovery impossible and he passed away peacefully with his family at his bedside. Jory was an animal lover with three rescue pets, two of which were Emotional Support Animals/Dogs (Peaches and Sarge) that were present at the Mercy San Juan, Carmichael when he passed. A CaringBridge blog has been maintained throughout the process and will be updated with information regarding a celebration of life https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jorycore. A celebration of life will be held Saturday, Aug. 12 from noon to 3 p.m., at Tomats on Grant Ave., Winters. Published in The Reporter on Aug. 8, 2017

GREEN, Charles Cleveland, 87, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2017 surrounded by his beloved Tennessee family after a long battle with asbestosis. Chuck has "gone to glory" where he joins his parents Lewis and Lydia Tyler Green; brothers, J.T., Alfred, and Jerry Michael "Mike" and sister, Emma Ruth. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, travel companion and best friend Eleanor Chumard Green; daughters, Alicia Green Fugitt (Bob) of Sweetwater, Alegra Green Spille (Dave) of Florence, KY, Tess Green (Dr. Alan Barnard) of Cranbrook, BC, Dr. Kelli Green (Dr. Glen Gholston) of Knoxville; son, James Green (Sonomi) of Tokyo; brothers, Roy Green (Alphea) of Madisonville, Lewis Green, Jr. (Joan) of Madisonville; sisters, Roseman Kilcrease (Bob) of Dayton, OH, Belva Green (John Dyer) of Dayton, OH; 6 grandchildren; and 3 great-grandchildren. He left high school to join the US Navy at age 17 and served in the submarine service. He later moved to the US Air Force, and retired after 26 years of service. His Navy and Air Force career took him and his family around the world, most notably to Guam and Okinawa, but the siren call of the East Tennessee hills would prove too strong. Chuck earned a BS in Finance at UT, but was an ardent supporter of Hiwassee College in his hometown of Madisonville. After retirement from the USAF, Chuck was finally able to return home to his beloved Tennessee, where he worked for many years as a planner/estimator at Y-12 in Oak Ridge. Chuck retired from Y-12 in 1990 and after retirement he was involved in the DAV (Disabled American Vets) transportation network, where he served as a volunteer driver, going from Knoxville to Mountain Home VA Medical Center weekly for 13 years. He also went to Washington, D.C. to pick up a new van. He was heavily involved with the DAV Chapter 24 where he also served as past commander, and a Lady Vols supporter. Chuck was a member of Memorial United Methodist Church in Clinton, and VFW #5156 in Sweetwater. Chuck was first and foremost a family man, and time spent with the extensive Green clan was his greatest joy. Chuck was an admirable man. His fierce generosity of spirit, sense of fun and adventure, yarn-spinning abilities, natural curiosity, and inclusive nature made him fun to be around. For many years Chuck and Ellie loved to travel, Chuck could never quite get warm enough, and they spent part of their winters at the condo in Florida, and on the beach at Waikiki on Oahu, where Chuck was first posted in the Navy. They also loved travelling to the Canadian Rockies of BC (in summertime only!) to visit their grandson. As Chuck's health declined he enjoyed many contented hours in his "man cave" where he was adored by the neighborhood dogs, and could watch the birds to his content. The family wishes to thank from their heart the gentle and skilled assistants who cared for Chuck at home during his last months: Tammy, Amy, Crystal, John, Candi and Kent at The Home Option; his amazing and insightful doctors; and the wonderful people, Courtney, Lyndsey and Rachel from Amedisys Hospice. You made his final days peaceful and comfortable in his home. We will never forget you. The family will receive friends 3:00-5:00 pm, Tuesday, August 8, 2017 at Holley Gamble Funeral Home. His Celebration of Life service will follow in the chapel with Rev. Donna Hester and Jim Ern Medley officiating. His military honors service will follow in the parking lot of Holley Gamble Funeral Home conducted by the Campbell County Honor Guard. Serving as honorary pallbearers will be his nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorials be made to Memorial United Methodist Church, 323 N. Main Street, Clinton, TN 37716 or Good Shepherd Clinic, 312 Prince St., Sevierville, TN 37863.
