BURSCH -- WILLIAM P. "BILL" Age 90, of Rio Rancho, NM, went home to his reward with his Savior, November 11, 2011, at his home at the Fairwinds Rio Rancho, surrounded by family. Bill Bursch was born September 17, 1921 in Wildcat Township, Riley County, KS to parents Daniel Madison and Mabel Gough Bursch. When he was three years old, his mother died. His father remarried, to Edna Crowl in 1927. In 1936, the Bursch family moved to Gavilan, New Mexico. Bill with his two older brothers arrived in August of 1936 to start school in September. The rest of the family arrived in November to farm and do building and maintenance for the school and orphanage at Gavilan. Bill grew up learning a strong work ethic, and respected and valued people from all walks of life. He had a passion for driving and trucks. In fact, Bill remembered major events in his life based on what truck or other vehicle he had at the time! He spent around $75 to buy his first vehicle, a hearse, which he used to drive people and goods all around northern NM. Bill studied Theology for three years at Hepsibah Missionary College in Tabor, IA, until 1942. During his time in Tabor, IA, Bill sang in a traveling gospel choir. He married his first wife, Cora Maxine Davis in 1942 and they resided in California and Gavilan before and after WWII. From 1942 to 1945, he was employed as a transportation clerk and safety engineer by the D.B. Milliken Co. in Altadena, CA. Bill served as a Private in the US Army in Antwerp, Belgium in the 138th Finance Dispersing Section, and then at Ft. Bliss, TX until 1946. After the war Bill and Maxine moved from California to Gavilan, New Mexico until 1948 when they moved to Albuquerque. While in Gavilan, Bill purchased a truck, thus beginning his career as a truck driver. Over time, Bill built up his trucking business one truck at a time. He established Bursch Trucking, Inc., which eventually was located on Rankin Road in NW Albuquerque. Bill was active with the Lion's Club, helping with fundraising for children in the 1960's. He participated and won many driving and safety awards with the National Motorcarriers Association. Bill was a great truck driver, teaching others how to drive a variety of vehicles. He married his second wife, LaVerne in 1960. In 1973 they sold Bursch Trucking, Inc., which was then renamed Roadrunner Trucking Inc. After the sale they moved to St. Francis, Kansas. Bill and LaVerne ranched and farmed in northwestern Kansas, realizing one of Bill's lifelong dreams at age 52. In 1987, Bill went back to trucking, first in Flagstaff, AZ, then in Lubbock, TX. Eventually, Bill and LaVerne returned to the Albuquerque area, settling in Rio Rancho in 2000. Bill drove an activities bus for Rio Rancho High School, a shuttle bus for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, and did special driving assignments for Pioneer Truck Sales until 2008, well into his 80s. Bill was a member of First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho and loved Jesus as his Savior. He enjoyed anything with an engine, the countryside of northern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado, animals (particularly Pugs), and a good cup of coffee. His greatest loves in life were his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He taught his family much about perseverance, problem-solving, hard work, loyalty and being a peacemaker. Bill will forever be remembered as our family storyteller, weatherman and road travel advisor. He will be missed by all who were a part of his life yet we know we shall see him again in heaven. Bill is survived by his daughter Sandra Hardy and her husband, Paul of Rio Rancho, NM; son, Dean Bursch and his wife, Susan of Gunnison, CO; son Terry Peterson and his wife, Sandra of Rio Rancho, NM; daughter Beverly O'Brien and her husband, Thomas of Rio Rancho, NM; daughter Debra VanWagoner and her husband, Scott of Salt Lake City, UT; son Donald Bursch and his wife, Lisa of Belen, NM; 17 grandchildren: Shawn Logsted, William Peterson, Shannon Serwin, Jarrod Peterson, Joshua Hardy, Michelle Butler, Aaron O'Brien, James Mosher, Jennifer Bursch, Patricia O'Brien, Kimberly Slease, Matthew VanWagoner, Bronson VanWagoner, Michael Raade, Marilyn Gossett, Nina Bursch, and Nelson Bursch, 18 great-grandchildren, 3 brothers: Ray Bursch and his wife, Madge, of Grand Rapids, MI; Roger Bursch of Pasadena, CA; and Dick Bursch and his wife, Dee, of Bird City, KS; three sisters: Dorothy McCoy and her husband, Tom, of Hereford, AZ; Madge Morris and her husband, Duane, of Roseburg, OR; and Darlene Cotz and her husband, Dudley, of Big Spring, TX; many nieces, nephews, and cousins; and innumerable friends.

TRUJILLO -- DAVID ROBERT December 14, 1946 - October 7, 2011 David Robert Trujillo, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and son, passed away early Friday morning at his home in Arroyo Seco after a sudden and harrowing battle with cancer. His wife and children surrounded him with prayers, stories, and songs at the time of his passing. He was 64 years old. David will be remembered in his many roles as a consistent and dedicated family man, a true and dear friend to many, a lifelong educator and learner, an avid outdoorsman, and a talented craftsman. In his last days as throughout his life, David will be remembered for an extraordinary strength of spirit and unwavering courage as he faced the sudden onset of an aggressive cancer. Throughout his own treatment, his concern always lay with the wellbeing of his family. Born on December 14, 1946 in Upper Ranchitos de Taos, New Mexico, David grew up a true "Norteno" - going for lena, fishing, hunting, cleaning the acequia, and working with his hands along side his father, tios, hermanos and primos. He was a true "Jack of all trades" who had a reverence for the outdoors that greatly influenced his spirituality. He shared this passion with his own children who have fond memories of planting, fishing, camping, building, and going for the yearly Christmas tree with their father. His strengths abounded both inside and out; an enduring athlete and a true intellectual, David approached his career as an educator always making sure to address his students from a holistic perspective. Knowing that children learn best when they understand the practical applications of their learning, Mr. T -as he was affectionately known by his students - often had his students up and out of their seats immersed in experience based learning. His dossier is filled with letters from thankful former students attesting to the care and dignity that his teaching style afforded them. Students recall the woodworking projects where Mr. T emphasized applied mathematics or the PE lessons where they experienced world history through learning the history of various ball games. David's career is a reflection of the educational values and goals he set for himself at a young age as a first generation, bilingual college student. After graduating from Taos High School, he earned an athletic scholarship to Adams State College in Alamosa, CO where he graduated with a B.A. in Education. He went on to earn an M.A. in Education with an emphasis in Special Education at UNM. Mr. Trujillo taught for the Santa Fe Public Schools for 30 years, spending most of his career at Gonzales Elementary School. In the 1980s-90s, he was one of the first Technology Coordinators for Santa Fe Public Schools, ushering in a new era of learning tools for New Mexico's students. Additionally, he was actively involved with Special Olympics and the advisor the Gonzales Elementary student newspaper for years. After retirement from SFPS, he returned to the classroom and taught an additional seven years at Ohkay Owingeh Day School. When his teaching years ended, he shared the responsibility of caring for his 95-year-old mother with true respect and admiration. He and his wife, Elaine, took his mother for countless drives, to numerous family events, mass and for her favorite ice cream cones in an effort to keep her vital and immersed in her community. This level of commitment to family rippled throughout his relationships. He and his wife of forty-two years raised three children while both were maintaining successful careers in education. His wife, children and grandchildren will miss the holidays that always digressed into board game tournaments, the shared annual rituals, and the laughter that always filled those moments. The youngest of eight siblings, David always did his best to show his affections and maintain his relationships with his hermanos y hermanas. Both his immediate family and family of origin were sources of great pride for him. David's zest for living and learning permeated all aspects of his life; family and friends were often the recipients of his gifts. Many have fond memories of working on a construction project with him. He was generous with his talents, and his craftsmanship can be celebrated through the portales, cuartitos, and woodwork left in many homes. David enjoyed playing golf with his longtime friends, Anthony, Rich and "Beecham"; these four are known at golf courses throughout the state. Even through the last months of his life, David continued to help his daughter renovate her home, play golf, plan an elk hunt with his friend, Ray Sandoval, and primo, Ernest "Largo" Trujillo, and work on his continual crafts and projects. He spent some of his last quality time traveling with his wife, visiting with friends including Frank Maes, and excitedly pondering about the future growth of his family. We'll miss his wry sense of humor, his profound knowledge, and his unwavering support for the Washington Redskins. Truly, in knowing David, we can celebrate the strength, courage, intelligence and creativity of men. He will be greatly missed, but his memory will remain strong for all those who had the privilege of knowing him. One of the greatest tributes to his memory for his family and extended community would be a commitment to having a focus on healthy living and an annual physical exam. Mr. Trujillo was preceded in death by his father, Bernardo Trujillo; his brother, Fred Trujillo; his son, Bernardo Trujillo, II; his primo-hermano, Rudy Cordova; his nephews Tommy Archuleta, Larry Trujillo and Lawrence Velasquez; and his niece, Ana Trujillo. He is survived by his devoted wife, Elaine Trujillo; his three children: Bernadette Ellis and husband, Abraham Ellis of Albuquerque, NM, David Trujillo and wife, Gloriana Trujillo of San Diego, CA, and Patricia Trujillo and her friend, David Garcia of El Guache, NM; his grandchildren Abraham Antonio and Analiese Ellis. As well, he is survived by his mother, Ruperta Trujillo of Taos, NM; his six siblings: Ofelia Trujillo, Manuel Trujillo, Pearl Winters, Pat Trujillo, Oclides Velasquez, and Bernice Trujillo Wells. The family of David Trujillo would also like to acknowledge the loving care he received by his hospice worker, Yasmine, from Los Alamos Visiting Nurse Service, all of the doctors and nurses at Cristus Santa Rosa/St. Vincent's Cancer Treatment Center and Rehabilitation Center. A Rosary and Mass will be prayed for Mr. Trujillo at Sacred Heart Parish in Espanola, NM on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. A private interment will take place at a later date. The family of David Robert Trujillo has entrusted their loved one to DeVargas Funeral Home & Crematory of the Espanola Valley. 505-747-7477 or www.devargasfuneral.com
