Hello Dad,
A sad but joyous day had passed, on November 2nd, Mom got to come home to you. Mom reached the age of 90 and had lived a charmed and loved life by our strong family bond that you both instilled in us so well.
Mother took great care of all of us and she will be missed as the matriarch of the family. Her funeral was beautiful and I head the bagpipes played as we took her casket to the mausoleum to rest with you.
Tears fell fown my face knowing she was coming home to you.
I can´t think of a sadder joy but I know everyone felt blessed to have you both in our lives.
We all kept our promise, to take good care of her, Dad.
I added some pictures of early life and your grandfather who made a great name for himself and our family heritage. He was a smart but humble and a bright character of building relationships.
We shall carry the torch forward of representing the Cheim name and spirit snd be the best we can be.
Thank you for everything you gave us, taught us, and loved us.
There is no greater bond.
Love always Daryl

I had the great honor and priviledge to shake Mr. Cheim's hand at a Boy Scout Award Ceremony and enjoy his company growing up. I was Moose Patrol Leader Kent Stokesberry where Daryl & Scott were in my group. We had a blast going camping and Mr. Cheim always made our trips interesting to say the least. Singing songs and taking short cuts through the forest. I will miss these men and now at 68 find myself with many good memories of this family. Lots of stories and fond events to be a part of. I think it was Scott who once told me how Clint Eastwood was visiting and lost his Basett Hound. Looking all over for the long eared dog he loved. They lived above San Jose Country Club in a huge home. We had a blast going to Boy Scout Camp and hiking. The guys liked how i could put together dehydrated food and actually make it taste good :-) Sorry for this late condolence but I was thinking of all the fun we had together. I will miss these fine upstanding people.

Most of the restaurants we dined at are now closed- El Burro, Lous Village and the Bold Knight among others. Even sitting with you in front of the tv watching Happy Days or Threes company and hearing you laugh, those were some good times. I love you Dad , Happy Fathers Day! Love ,Cynthia

Hi Papa,
We just finished celebrating the August birthdays at Yosemite and you were in the thoughts of everyone. We sang songs, played games and told stories. Of course your spiritual presence was holding us all so close and full of memories we shared with you. I cant say enough how you guided me to stand up for yourself, question authority, and do the right thing. Confidence and health were your big themes but I also knew you had a big heart for the beautiful things too. Music, violins were the deep expression of many emotions and bring joy. Comedy, was to be shared with friends and unknown acquaintances to entertain, to engage, and lighten and lift the hearts of our daily weariness. Kindness, to be positive and do a good turn daily. I remember so many times we enjoyed the little things and appreciate the time we had so very much. I love you father, wish I could hug you one more time.
Love, Daryl
October 25, 2015
Dear Dad, I have been thinking about you a lot lately its still so difficult not having you here with us in our lives just to talk about our day to day stuff. I love you so much and want you to know you are thought of constantly and will always be a big part of our lives . In my heart forever, Cynthia

Hello Lover,
You are with me every day, helping me with my decisions, and appearing in my dreams every night. My loving thanks to you for giving me such wonderful children whose love and closeness have helped me through the loneliness of missing you. You were such a dear helpmate in raising the children - yours and Laddie's alike. You spread your love to all of us, creating a close knit family. I find it hard to believe it has been five years this June since you left. You are still in my heart, where you have always been and will always be.
Love, your June Bug

Hey Papa:) I miss you everyday, I miss going to your house and hearing whistling or the song "Oh what a beautiful Morning" being sang by you in the morning. You will always have a special place in my heart and ill never forget your support and humor that you showed me and the love that you gave me. Thankyou for being the best papa that any girl could ask for, its weird that it's been five years, but no matter how long, you'll always stay in my memory:)

Papa I love you. I miss you right now and always. Sometimes I walk to the cemetary a few blocks from my house and for some reason I like to talk to you there, if you can tell. It is the most green, forestry filled cemetary I've ever seen. I love that because that way there is still a lot of life there. I miss your presence and your voice, I miss your Witt and your laugh. I just want you to know how greatful I am that you created the family you did. I am so lucky to be apart of it and to have so much love from it. We are going to villa vista again this year and I love remembering the moment where we made you a birthday hat and letter and gave you our candy necklace. You still bring me so much happiness, whenever I think about you or something somewhere reminds me of you. It's hard when I think about how it's going to be five years this June. I miss you. I love you. Thank you for everything.
September 21, 2012
Hello Darling,
I do everything I can to fill the lonely days and nights, but I still feel your presence and I know you are with me through difficult decisions and every day living. Thank you for that. I miss your closeness, laughter, and warmth. As always I love you forever.

Dear Papa, I cannot believe that it has been a year since you've passed and i have missed you and want to see you so much. I wish that i could see you again. I miss hearing you wake up in the morning and sing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning!" from Oklahoma. I seemed as if you were in a fairytale when you looked at Nana and i had never seen you look at a woman like that before:) I miss going to movies with you and talking about the cool people you met and things that you did in life. You are an inspiration to me. Every day and minute i think of you and i just want to let you know and tell you..... " I will never meet anyone like you in this journey called life, I always think of that one time that we were in the car and myself saying, you and nana are the best grandparents in the world and you said oh i'm sure that you are just saying that well i wasn't:) i mean it that yes you and nana are the best grandparents in the world. Happy Anniversary and talk to me through my the spot in my heart reserved for you. I love you and will never forget you. Love your grandchild, Barbara:)

Papa,
Thank you for teaching me your cool thumb trick.
Thank you for introducing me to Penelope, she always made me laugh.
Thank you for helping me get over my fear of car washes when I was little by always taking me in a carwash. You had the cleanest car ever!
Thank you for teaching me how to raise one eyebrow, and then the other.
Thank you for helping me pursue my dreams, and sharing with me the ones you had for me.
Thank you for that walk in Santa Cruz a couple summers back, I learned so much about you that day.
Thank you for teaching me to always put candy bars in the freezer, they are way better that way.
Thank you for attempting to teach me how to play golf, even I know that must have been frustrating.
Thank you for warning me to watch out for the racoons around your house. Even though I have never seen one. Ever.
Thank you for introducing me to Elvis and sharing that passion.
Thank you for telling me I was one of your best friends. You were always one of mine.
Thank you for letting me cut your hair, it was an honor.
Thank you for buying me that watch when I was 5, I was too little to appreciate it, but I love it now.
Thank you for teaching Elliot, Danielle and I how to play tennis. You were always so much better than us.
Thank you for sitting in your room and watching James Bond movies with us when we were little. I loved using the excercise bike you had in there.
Thank you for always warning me to put tissues in my ears when going to the movies because they played them to loud. Then we would go back to your house and you would put the T.V. on FULL blast.
Thank you for telling me one Holiday I was the most beautiful girl in the room. I have never felt so loved.
Thank you for doing excercise drills with me in the lumber yard.
Thank you for speaking your mind, being my hero and a true inspiration in my life.

Dear Papa,
I miss you so much and it's so hard to not be able to visit you and talk about trying to get me into the movies. You always supported me 100% in my passion for acting and for that it made me want to push myself harder. You were always able to light up a room without saying even one word. I love you and I will remind my Mom and Nana how much you love them and how often you told me about how Nana was your one and only true love. Everytime I see a Clint Eastwood film or certain songs I feel your warmth and i know you haven't really left. I miss you with all my heart and soul. I still have the rock you gave me to rub my thumb on. You told me that everytime I rubbed it "the angels will come." I'll rub it everyday and I hope you know that you'll always be in my thoughts. You and Nana have taught me so much. I love you forever.

TO LEO , In the 80's we were inseparable . There was only a handful of Gold Courses we did not play . You won every Golf Game we played . There was only a handful of Tennis Courts we did not play on . However ...I won every Tennis Game ! I Loved you like a Father during the last 30 years . You poured so much time into me that I feel a lot of my personality comes from you . You asked me at Bakers Square if " I believed in God " . And i responded with " The answer is 100 % Yes ". And you smiled . Leo , your smile was worth a 1000 words ! At The Pebble Beach Lodge ,you said " Life is a Tragedy for those that feel , and a Comedy for those that think " .Thank you for that quote . And Thank you for 30 Great Years of Love , Laughter , Guidance and Friendship . You have impacted my life to where I will be indebted to you and The Cheim Family Forever . I will miss you terribly .You will never be forgotten Leo , See you soon ... in Heaven where I will once again look at you and say ...." WHATS HAPPENING !" Leo, I will take Excellent Care of your Daughter Cynthia Forever , and" I will not Let you down ".Leo , I will Call June and stop by always to make sure she is O.K. / I will Love you forever and ever Leo .Thanks again for everything .
Love always , DAVE BEASLEY

My sympathies to all of the Cheim family. I have the fondest memories of knowing Leo casually for over forty years as a close friend of his son, Greg. Leo was always immensely engaging, instantly resuming where we had left off and, usually, from several years between conversations. He seemed almost unnaturally youthful in his high spirits and energy - an absolute orginal and treasure.

June,
Sharon and I both worked with you at Alum Rock School Dept. and didn't meet Leo untill the luncheons we went to recently. June, we send our heartfelt condolences and we want to let you know that you are an inspiration to us because of your care of Leo and your faithfulness to him to the end. It could not possibly have been an easy row to hoe. Frank and Sharon Shortt

Leo taught me many simple wisdoms. Firstly: take care of myself. He always said: "if you don't, no one else will." He would stand straight, run quick sprints, eat the healthiest foods and repeat his friend Bud Winters' advice to "relax and win." He would love to tease and argue, but was loving in his friendship. More important to Leo than all else was his family, which I am grateful to be a part of. I miss you, Leo, and wish that we could go golfing again. Love, Scott

One of God's blessings in my life was being part of the Cheim family. Leo and June taught me what a family is suppose to be; I will cherish those memories.
We all have special people in our lives that change our course, offer us inspiration, validation and support. Leo was one of those people in my life.
I truly enjoyed Leos' wit, charm and creativity. His conversations were engaging and entertaining; he had a unique gift.
I thank the Lord for blessing my life with Leo Cheim. I love him and he will always be dear to my heart.
