In Memory of Richard V "Dick" Jilbert
October 20, 1927 - March 8, 2013

pokorny, richard l
[br][br]Richard Louis Pokorny, MD, of Spokane passed away in the early morning hours of 8 June 2013 at the Hospice of Spokane after a long battle with acute myelogenous leukemia. He was surrounded in his final hours by his loving wife of 63 years, Vivian, and his three children, Brad, Diana, and Alan.
Dr. Pokorny, who preferred to be known as Rich, was a veteran of World War II. He had a long and successful career as an anesthesiologist in Spokane. In retirement, he was active in the First Presbyterian Church, the Spokane Camera Club, and as a museum docent.
Born 27 March 1924 in La Crosse, Kansas, Rich was the fourth and youngest son of Charles and Roberta Smith Pokorny. After graduation from La Crosse High School in 1942, Rich volunteered for service in the US Navy. He was assigned to the USS Whitney (AD-4) in the South Pacific as a signalman but was later selected for officer's training through the V-12 program, and was sent to Washburn Municipal University in Topeka, Kansas, where he received a BS degree in 1947.
Rich graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 1950. During his senior year there he met the love of his life, Vivian Decker, RN. They were married in June 1950 and enjoyed a long and wonderful life together. After completing his training in anesthesiology in 1953, he joined the US Army Medical Corps, where he served as the Chief of Anesthesiology at the US Army General Hospital in Nurnberg, Germany in 1954-55. In 1957, he and his family moved to Spokane where he joined the Physician Anesthesia Group.
Rich's career as a physician was marked by a high degree of professionalism in service to his patients and numerous positions of leadership in local, state, and national medical societies. Over the course of some 35 years as a working physician, he was a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, president of the Washington State Society of Anesthesiologists, and president of the Spokane County Medical Society.
Rich always enjoyed singing in choral groups, and he was a member of many school and church choirs. Joining Spokane's First Presbyterian Church in the late 1980s, he was a member of the Chancel Choir. He has also served at First Presbyterian as an Elder, as Chair of the Worship and Music Committee, on the Church Evaluation Committee, and the Men's Program committee. He was president of the Senior Adult Fellowship, known as "Keenagers."
After his retirement in 1985, Rich and Vivian traveled extensively for a number of years; their favorite trip was a safari in Africa.
His hobby was photography and he belonged to the Spokane Camera Club; for a number of years he directed the IECPSA's Youth Show Case. He also served as a docent for many years at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.
Rich and Vivian were further blessed with three children and seven grandchildren. Brad, born in 1954, currently resides in Durham, NH, with his wife, Ruwa. They have two sons, Remz and Zane. Diana, born in1957, currently resides in Studio City, CA. She has two daughters, Sophie and Zoe. Alan, born in1961, resides with his wife, Valerie Logsdon, in Spokane. They have two sons, Trey and Logan, and a daughter, Annie.
In lieu of flowers, Rich had requested that donations be sent to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Hospice of Spokane, or the First Presbyterian Church.
A memorial service has been scheduled for 2 pm on Wednesday, 12 June, at the First Presbyterian Church, 317 South Cedar St., Spokane.

She also enjoyed working as both a pre-school teacher and aerobics instructor in the Spokane area.

dixon, cecil "cec" w
[br][br]Passed away at Hospice House of Spokane after a long and courageous battle with multiple myeloma cancer.
Cecil graduated from Pocatello High School in 1960. He then attended college prior to enlisting in the United States Air Force in 1961, proudly serving 20 years, retiring in 1981. Not yet finished with government service he continued on as a civil service employee another 22 years at Fairchild Air Force Base. He was extremely proud, as was his family, of his 42 years service to the country he loved.
Cec had a passion for fast and old cars. In 1963 he purchased a brand new corvette stingray convertible and joined the Spokane Corvette Club, cruising around town and often placing "Have Corvette will travel" cards on the windows of Mustangs. He went on to build several street rods and belonged to the Dukes Auto Club, serving as an officer, and enjoying the camaraderie shared by others who enjoyed the lifestyle. The pinnacle of his builds was a 1923 Model T roadster. Built from the ground up this car was fast, fun and looked good cruising down the street or on display at one of the many shows around the northwest. Those were the good old days!
He loved the great outdoors, spending time with family and friends. When not working or cruising local street rod runs he and the family could be found camping, hunting and fishing. He most enjoyed time on his pontoon boat with his grandchildren, teaching them to fish. He'd spend the entire day baiting hooks, detangling line and helping land fish, always with a smile and encouraging words. He loved them all dearly and made sure they knew.
Cecil is survived by his wife Linda of nearly 50 years; sons Darrell and Troy, daughter Lori (Larry) Holznagel, grandchildren Ashley and Matthew Holznagel, Sierra, Haley and Tyler Dixon.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him, but is finally pain free and has found peace.
A special thanks to Hospice House of Spokane, who made his final days comfortable and showed compassion, warmth and commitment to his care. Words cannot adequately express what that meant to the family during a trying time.
It was his wish there be no service. A family gathering and interment with honors will be held at the Washington State Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake. Donations in Cecil's memory can be made to the Hospice of Spokane or charity of your choice.
