An avid outdoorsman, Jack spent many hours hiking in the Sandia Mountains daily and loved his camping trips with his sons and grandsons. Jack is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Dorothy; his sons David DeBuck, Rob DeBuck (wife, Linda); grandsons, Sean, Kyle, Ryan, and Derek; his loving brother, Bob DeBuck (wife, Ruth); and many, many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. Jack was preceded in death by his parents and the greatest loss of his life, his grandson, Jesse.

The family would like to thank Adam, Grace, and Cesar for their loving care and attention to Jack during his stay at Grace Adult Care Home Assisted Living Center. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the charity of your choice. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.

DEL REAL, ENRIQUE SR. May 6, 1943 – March 4, 2013 Our husband, father, grandpa, brother and friend has left to be with Jesus. We have lost part of our hearts but we know how fortunate we were to have had such a wonderful man in our lives. As one granddaughter said, “This morning the world lost someone I’ve never seen angry. Someone I never heard say anything negative about anyone. Someone who has never been anything but kind to everyone he knew.” Kiki was born in Sinaloa, Mexico almost 70 years ago. As a young man he moved to Los Angeles and married Cecilia Tapia, his wife for 43 years. Together they had one son, Enrique Jr., but Kiki became a loving step-dad to nine children: Prescilla Perez, Sandra Bush and Glinda Merino, as well as Ted, Joe, James, Robert, Mary and Chris Tapia. Kiki died at home on March 4th. We will always miss his music, cooking, and his kindness. Thank you, Dad, for being such a big part of our lives. We will always love you.

BLAIR, JUNE S. BLAIR Mrs. E. Frank Blair Jr. died Friday, March 8, 2013 in Albuquerque, NM. A native of Roswell, NM June Blair was born April 25, 1926, the daughter of Henry C. and Versa Stephens Sorrells. She graduated from Roswell High School in 1943, where she ranked third in her class. June married E. Frank Blair Jr., of Roswell, August 18, 1944 in Chicago where he was serving in the US Navy aviation cadet program. Later he was transferred to Norfolk, Virginia where they remained until the end of WWII. While the Blairs were stationed in Norfolk, June commenced a 41 year Federal career working for the US army at Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation. When they returned to Roswell in 1946, June transferred to the US Army Air Corps and became Executive Secretary to Col. William Blanchard commanding officer of the 509th Atomic Bomb B-29 Wing. June took a leave of absence following the birth of her son Stephen. When he started school she returned to the Federal service at WAF Base as a court reporter. Active in community affairs, June was a charter member of the Assistance League of Roswell and of her church, St. Andrews Episcopal Church. Upon the closure of Walker Air Force Base, the Blairs moved to Merced, California where June continued her career as a Federal Court Reporter with the Air Force. During her career she traveled throughout the Southwest, sought after for highly classified cases, as she was one of the few court reporters with top secret clearance. When the opportunity arose in the late 70′s the Blairs returned to Albuquerque, where June continued her court reporting duties at Kirkland AFB. She retired there after 41 years of federal service. Shortly before her retirement she was honored to have a new court room at Kirkland Air Force Base named in her honor. In Albuquerque, June was a member of the Lew Wallace Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and of Saint Marks on the Mesa Episcopal Church.
