      Kotzas, Byron owner of Crossroads Realty died on Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012, surrounded by his family, after a brief illness at Community Medical Center, Toms River, NJ. He was 87. Born in New York City on October 2, 1924, Kotzas graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh NY where he was the captain of the tennis team. After serving as a pilot in the Army Air Force from 1942 - 1945, he attended Drexel Institute of Technology, where he studied engineering. He graduated from Rider College under the GI Bill with a degree in business and real estate. Byron moved with his family to Toms River in 1946 and purchased the Bay Bridge Inn which consisted of a hotel, bar, restaurant, clam bar and package store. Located at the base of the wooden bridge to Seaside, the Inn also had cabins for rent along with row boats and garveys for fishing. Kotzas founded Crossroads Realty in 1966. The company went on to grow and flourish, becoming the largest residential real estate brokerage in Ocean County. Byron was also instrumental in promoting the development of the county for over 4 decades. He helped developers and investors to assemble parcels of land for adult communities, shopping centers, industrial parks and medical facilities. Not believing in retirement, he continued to work six days a week along with two of his sons who also work in the business. It was at the Bay Bridge Inn that the Kotzas family first began their philanthropic endeavors by hosting many fundraising benefits to help raise money for the first local hospital in the area, Community Medical Center, prior to the groundbreaking for the hospital. In addition to supporting the hospital, Kotzas has been a Trustee of Ocean County College Foundation for 30 years, served on the local Kiwanis and was on the fund raising committee of the Boy Scouts for 15 years. He has also generously supported all of his wife, Mary's philanthropic endeavors by financing both the Second Time Around Consignment Shop which raised money for the hospital and Charity Resale Shop which currently supports Ocean County Hunger Relief. Kotzas dedication and the energy he directed to his work were evident in the success of his real estate brokerage but his real pleasure came from helping others to start businesses and make profitable investments. Having worked hard to become successful on his own, Byron was quick to share his knowledge and insights with anyone who asked for his help. His ability to mentor others in their careers has led to many success stories, both with real estate agents and local business people. Byron strongly believed that anyone who was willing to work hard could take advantage of the opportunities that he felt were all around and he was more than willing to help them. An avid tennis player and golfer, Byron also enjoyed boating and was an accomplished wood worker. He is survived by his wife of 63 ½ years, Mary; his sons, Stephen and his wife Chetra, George and Mark and a daughter, Linda, along with four grandsons, Greg and his partner Leslie Harker, Warren and his wife Genevieve, also along with Stavros and Nicholas Basis who are the sons of his nephew, Theo Basis and his wife Jane as well as a niece, Anita Mengason and nephew, Jim Mengason.

         Stang, John "Jack" A. (29 October 1923-7 January 1996) was a former U.S. Marine who served in the pacific theater-Samoa, Guadacanal and Bougainville campaign (1943–45) during World War Two, wounded in action, one of four men in his platoon to make it out and was later a Newburgh, New York policeman. In 1946, Mickey Spillane, then residing at Orange Lake in suburban Newburgh, admitted Stang was the inspiration for his character Mike Hammer. After leaving the Newburgh Police, Stang operated a popular riverfront bar and grill at 4th and Front Street in Newburgh. After it was devastated by a fire, it reopened as a children's clothing store run by Fran Stang, Jack's mother. The old Newburgh riverfront neighborhood, 4 blocks wide and about a mile long, was demolished in the late 1960s as part of an 'Urban Renewal' program, and the bar property exists as of 2008 as part of a grassy slope and parking lot complex. Jack Stang appeared with Spillane in the 1954 film Ring of Fear and had an unbilled appearance in I, the Jury (1953 film). Spillane wrote, directed, and filmed a 1955 Mike Hammer screen test with Stang to enable Stang to play Hammer in Kiss Me Deadly. Jack never got to play Mike Hammer , even though he was the Real Mike Hammer ,and every time Mickey was asked who would be the right person to play Mike Hammer , the answer was always the same- Jack Stang. The Hollywood machine at that time would only use known actors so they could get financing. Biff Elliot was cast as Hammer in "I, the Jury" as was Ralph Meeker in the second Hammer film Kiss Me Deadly. Jack Stang was signed to Wayne-Fellows Productions at Warner Bros. He also did a Highway Patrol (TV series) episode and Broderick Crawford wanted him as a regular. He was offered a role from Otto Preminger to be in The Man with the Golden Arm starring Frank Sinatra. Just as Jack Stang's star was about to shine, he left Hollywood to be with his family instead of the fast paced Hollywood lifestyle.

        VanFrank, Roger Merrill - Architect, born on October 13, 1924 in Newburgh, New York to Edna Ensign Merrill and Leslie Keats vanFrank, died on May 15, 2013 in Salt Lake City, with the love of his life and all six children there to help him off on another "Whynot Road" for the greatest adventure of all - to learn what lies beyond this earthly abode of ours. Should creative excitement be there, he is well prepared with an agile, happy, and inquiring mind. There is all of creation to redesign! With "Naturality" (the work of a human done in nature's way, which nature itself cannot achieve unaided) accomplished at last. "What marvelous fun," he has said, "to have the delightful opportunity of sitting down for an hour, a day, a week, or a month, should eternity, in reality, be available to us, and chatting with Plato, with Galileo, with Beethoven, and hear what really and truly mattered to them most when still on earth, and what matters most to them now. To sit again and reminisce with Frank Lloyd Wright, Mendel Glickman, Bruce Goff, and other friends and acquaintances. How marvelous to continue to learn, to explore, to experience the fullness of existence. How exciting!" Roger and Sheila (nee Watkins), in love since junior high school, married in 1947, and have been inseparable for every one of the ensuing 66 years. Their children are Mereth (Sebastian Huemer, daughter Katie) Albany, New York; Kevin (Susan Tucker, children Brenna (Ben Yang) and Walter) Salt Lake City; Gweneth (John Carlson), children Clarissa (Mike Reep) and Jeanluc) Eugene, Oregon; Leslie (Jeff Silvestrini, children Liz and Jill) Salt Lake City; Alison (Stewart Owens), children S'Andrew (Heather Heustess), Ashleigh and Hank) Hendersonville, North Carolina; Megan (John Higgins) Salt Lake City. Roger's parents and his sister, Connie, predeceased him. Roger served in World War II on the USS Enterprise in the Asia-Pacific Theatre of Operations, and earned 15 Stars on Combat Ribbons, AOM 2C USNR. He graduated in 1952 with distinction from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Architecture. Roger described his profession as "an innovative and creative national and international design practice focusing on one-of-a-kind solutions to problems of engineering, design planning and professional practice procedures." He originated the "Urban Village" concept, which utilizes just ten percent of land for building footprints in vast seas of land or water. In Roger's vision, sprawl and traffic congestion can be eliminated, and pollution and global warming vastly reduced. See www.putthatinmybackyard.com About life outside work (it never was "work"), Roger writes, "Many years ago, daughter Leslie came home from high school announcing her interest in a Rotary foreign exchange program to study and live overseas for a year. In assenting, we were unaware of the Gods up on Mount Olympus smiling benignly down on us and chortling over what this assent held in store for us. Oh what marvelous adventures lay down those many "Whynot Roads" that request and that reply put us upon. World travel, extended families of world class young people, exciting places, fabulous food, gorgeous scenery, unexpected magnificent buildings, and other artistic expressions, and wonderful, memorable friends from the inhabited continents of our world, as well as delightful acquaintances found all along the way. What a wonderful world is this 'mote of dust in a sunbeam!'" Roger was sustained over the past eight years by more than 350 volunteers who selflessly donated blood to ARUP. Instead of flowers, we would be honored by similar donations, or by contributions to the Utah Symphony/Opera in his name. A reunion will be held later this year for extended family and friends. Bon voyage, Oupasan. Prepare a place for us all to regale us with your memories of the delightful adventures and encounters yet ahead…. And DID!
