I was just wondering if you could tell me if your Grandma Pauline was still alive and your uncle Bob? Unfortunately I don’t remember Shirley but Bob used to come to our house whenever he could in Santa Ana. 
Please reach out to me. Calcala59@ yahoo.com or call me at 909-841-4083
My name is Cecilia Hay Alcala
I met Pauline in Grand Terrace Ca. She came to visit mom and dad.

My deepest condolences. Loren was my 1st paternal cousin . My name is Cecilia Hay Alcala I am the daughter of William Hay and Aurora Hay. He used to come and visit us when we lived in Santa Ana Ca
May he rest in peace 

Happy Fathers Day Dad...Sometimes I can't believe that you've been gone for over 4 Months now, you left me with an inner strength to build my life upon.  You've left some good memories which I hold in my heart and no one can ever take away for I treasure them like gold.  so, Dad sleep peacefully you're in my every thought, and I feel such thankfulness for all the happiness you've brought.

Gary Jessen 

Dad always loved his brother Bob and sister Shirley. 

Loren is a loving father, grandfather, brother, cousin and a loving husband to our mom. He taught us kids while growing up always remember that word "IF" If they can do it, I can do it too if you put your mind into it. You always want to achieve life better than others. Always be an achiever not a follower.  I will always admire his strong sense of thoughts. All he ever wanted and wish for is for us kids is to be strong not weak.  Dads legacy will always be a achiever, proud to serve in the United States Marine, looking out for others and always there for guidance. Thank you dad for bringing me into this world along with Gary, Larry and Sheri. You will always be in my heart and soul for eternity, I love you. I will always remember your last words you said to me and Sheri while holding each others hands, please don't you ever forget me I'm sorry for not being a perfect dad. I love all you kids and don't you ever forget it.

Take My Hand Precious Lord

Dear loving Farther, hear this prayer.  I pray now for my Dad.  Thank you for his life, for without him I would not exit.  Thank you for the times when he cared for me.  Thank you for the lessons learned by his examples and his mistakes.  Oh, loving Farther, bless my Dad, bless his Soul and for when Dad failed.  Let me forgive him and love him.  Through your spirit heal the wounds between us.  Dear loving Lord, you are Farther to us all, spread out your mercy over all Fathers, Daughters and Sons, for the glory of your Son Jesus Christ, in his Holy name.  Amen… 

All of us kids did not see eye to eye with our Dad, but we see heart to heart. Dad positively affected everyone he encountered in his nearly 78 laps around the sun. Helping at the retirement center, assisting his neighbors when times were rough by delivering them food boxes when needed. Dad we love you and we all wished that things could have been better.

Dad was not much of a dancer or singer and he did not play any musical instruments, but he had the talent for riding a bicycle backwards down the street while sitting on the handlebars. Also, halfway decent in his granny shots in basketball while playing horse.

I've taken in a lot thought about what you say.  When I graduated from high school dad taught me to be confident in myself and said to me to soar like an eagle and to not fludder like a duck!  My dad over the years has tried his best to teach us about life.  I've been living with my parents since 2018 because of unfortunate events in my life but what I've heard him say is that how imperfect he was as a father that he was proud of his kids!  We all know he was far from being perfect but he always says we will always have a home to come home to.  He always tried to help and be there for us kids and I'm truly grateful for the time I was able to share with him the past 2 years.   Dad I will always love you and you will always have that special place in my heart!

Since I was little, Dad taught us to always be aware of our surroundings. "Know your exits! Stay alert! Stay alive!”, but did not understand until I was in the Military in '93 that I fully embrace and understand its true meaning.

Grandma Pauline, Uncle Bob, Dad, and Aunt Shirley

Dad was a career fabrication welder and he always wanted to better himself, he ran for representative for the sheet-metals union, he lost the election by only a few votes. He went to school and received his realtors license and eventually getting his brokers license, this did not satisfy my dad, so he got his notary republic credentials. Dad also had interest in selling cars, so he got his automotive dealers license and became owner of Jessen motors. Something was still missing in his life, so dad got his CPR card and became a first aid and CPR trainer. My dad was doing all of this at the same time while working at Thompson metal Fab… he was born with three settings, that's full throttle, Eating and Sleep.

Dad was an in-centric collector of the unique, buying things that were not needed, some people called it junk/ waste of money but to him it was his treasures.  Purchasing vehicles, RVs, boats, motorcycles, tools, golf carts and anything else that he thought was a good deal. He was a true Sanford and Son😁

Dad had a sweet tooth, love pineapple upside down cake, Jell-O, ice cream, donuts and cookies. Coke was his favorite soda. Enjoyed going out for a good meal with family and friends and always paying the bill. Dad was always generous with his money. Dad like putting applesauce onto his spaghetti. Pouring milk on top of ice cream. Pouring milk on top of cake. Ketchup on top of stew and syrup on his legs. He always stated that it all goes down the same tube.

My heart goes out to my sister, Marijke, for the loss of her husband (Loren)
 and for the children (Gary, Johnny, Larry, & Sheri) for the loss of their father.

Wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the coming days,
and the memories of him to hold in your heart.

Love you all, Willy💕

To Aunt Marijke and my cousins,
I'm sorry to hear about Uncle Loren. Thank you for sharing the lovely photos! Hoping you find comfort in each other through this time of grief. Love Carol and Ron

My Dad was a proud Marine, he quoted that a Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for amount to and including my life…that is honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it…God Bless America.

From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli.
We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea; First to fight for right and freedom and to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun. We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off Northern lands and in sunny tropic scenes.
You will find us always on the job The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we have fought for life and never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.
I want to thank my Dad and to all that have served and fought for this country giving us our freedoms that we all hold so dearly.


Marijke and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Loren’s passing. You are all in my thoughts and I hope you can find peace with each other as you share good memories. Take care of yourselves and each other! 
-Renee

Loren was a great inspiration in our lives,  When we started a community non profit, Loren said he & his wife Maryke felt good with a strong purpose in helping us, helping feed complete strangers.  We still to this day feed many people weekly.  From the support of Loren and his wife Maryke, We Thank you guys and God Bless.  Loren is now in God's care.  Even when Loren was struggling with his last few days of life,  He said he wanted to see the non profit be the biggest and best and it can be. We have been so blessed to have crossed paths with this man.  God is good 🙏 In the photo is Loren helping us distribute food at a Saturday food distribution event United Path Ministries put together with Gene, Jodie, Cathy, Maryke, Larry & Loren.
