ELLIOT STEINBERG PASSED AWAY
Peter R Hoffman passed away
July 28, 2021
Peter Rushmore Hoffman was born on Dec. 4, 1940. His parents were John Frederick Hoffman Jr. and Jean Bell Millett-Hoffman.
He passed away at home, with his wife by his side, in Warrenton, on July 28, 2021, at the age of 80.
Pete was born in New Rochelle, New York, and moved to San Francisco in 1941. After graduating from high school, he attended San Francisco State University to study radio and TV broadcasting.
In 1963, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. During 1967, he married Susan McBride (they later divorced), and began his formal Coast Guard career. He trained to be a rescue helicopter pilot, and enjoyed the many beautiful places he was stationed.
Pete was stationed in Astoria from 1981 to 1984, and then served as commander at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D.C., from 1984 to 1987. He retired as a commander (0-5), and returned to Astoria, due to his love of the water, and his relationship with his Grace Episcopal Church family.
In 1998, he married Christine Duff, and adopted her two young daughters as his own. Pete enjoyed the family time he spent with them camping, horseback riding, supporting his daughters at volleyball games and dance recitals, high school and college graduations and marriages. He was proud to support their 4-H horse club, Western Wranglers, at parades by volunteering for “scooping duty.”
Pete was very involved in the operations of Grace Episcopal Church. He served at the altar, was a member of the choir, was much respected as a vestry leader and was the go-to guy for building maintenance issues.

Pete loved God’s creations, and was especially fond of the smallest creatures. He was always summoned to take the spider or the bee outside so the girls would not squish it.
He was a member of Oregon Equestrian Trails, and spent many hours helping to clear trails so horse riders would be safe. He also helped at the Friends of the Fair horse shows by manning the arena entrance gate. He would encourage the younger riders on their way in to “sit tall, relax and show ‘em whatcha got.”
Pete enjoyed swimming at the Astoria Aquatic Center to keep himself fit in the winter and riding to Hammond and back on his bicycle in the summer.
He worked at several local businesses during his “retirement.” His two favorites were: Wadsworth Electric, where he operated large equipment in sometimes very dangerous environments; and, most recently, Staples in Warrenton, where he appreciated his co-workers and managers for how kind and caring they were toward him in his “senior” days.
He is survived by his wife, Christine Hoffman; daughters, Jessica (Jacob) Bushnell and Rebecca (Stevin) Tadei; his former wife, Susan Hoffman, of Vancouver, Washington; sons, Malcolm (Ken) Hoffman, of Washougal, Washington, and Michael (Jessica) Hoffman, of Portland; daughter, Kathryn Strom, of Vancouver, Washington; grandchildren, Natasha, Gabriel, Gwendolyn, Drew and Summer; and a sister, Sharon Tucker Morse, of Pine Hurst, North Carolina.
Ray Mondini 1940-2022
Ray Mondini (1940-2022) taught in the various iterations of the San Francisco Art Institute’s Humanities, Letters and Science, and Liberal Studies Departments from 1968 through 2004. Ray was educated at S.F. State, the University of Perugia, and also studied Japanese Culture and Zen Buddhism for four years with Shunryu Suzuki. A dynamic lecturer, Mondini was influential to legions of SFAI students. (For instance, Ray proved “tremendously important” to Kehinde Wiley “for acquainting him with poststructuralist texts…classic African and African American writing” as well as “for introducing him to the work of British film and queer-studies specialist Richard Dyer who had just publishedWhite: Essays on Race and Culture.”) Mondini served as president of the faculty senate for decades. He was the longtime chair of the Humanities Department, always incorporating current ideas and the “Methodologies of Modernism” into the curriculum while developing a faculty that included Angela Davis and Kathy Acker along with Ed Guerrero, Rupert Garcia, Zeese Papanilolas, Suzanne Lacey, Richard Fiscus, Diane Levitin, Frank Oppenheimer and many more. Ray was a member of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club as a devoted bay swimmer, rower, runner, pilot, and weightlifter. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

CARR, Rey A. Rey passed away peacefully on Nov. 8, 2020. Much loved and greatly missed by many. Rey’s mission in life was being a friend and helping others; which he shared in many spheres of influence – friend, husband, grandpa, uncle, teacher, mentor, coach, writer, storyteller, lifelong learner and spiritual warrior.

He was a UVic professor until 1992; and then became a lifelong leader in peer helping, mentoring, and life coaching. His many interests included squash, cycling, building things, gardening, gym workouts, good music, watching movies, following the latest tech trends, reading, and good food, esp. Mexican and chocolate! Rey was encouraging and supportive, focusing on solutions rather than problems. He helped us to discover that answers are waiting to be found within ourselves. He inspired people to be better, spreading goodness through every conversation and encounter, brightening their lives through connection. He was an accomplished, kind, gentle man, with a playful sense of humor; a bright spirit with passion for life and learning. We have lost a great listener and friend. Rey is lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Sarah, her son Jeff and wife Suzanne, grand-daughters Calissa and Ashtyn, EricB and Zoe; Rey’s dear niece Carolyn; nephews Sloan, Alexander, Andrew and Ron; cousins Mark (& Lori) and Larry (& Carol), sister-in-law Mary; and numerous relatives, dear friends and colleagues.

PAM SORGATZ BOUSQUET – Class of Spring 1958
Pamela G. Bousquet November 11, 1940 – November 13, 2020
Pamela Bousquet (Sorgatz) passed away peacefully at her home on November 13, 2020. She was a fighter who did not let her cancer diagnosis define her, or stop her daily life. To the end of her illness, she continued tutoring young students in piano lessons via Zoom, attended her own online classes, as well as making lengthy to-do lists for her family and paying close attention to national politics.
Pamela was born at French Hospital in San Francisco in 1940. Her parents were Dorothy and Cecil Sorgatz and she spent her early years in Sausalito. Pam grew up on 10th Avenue & Fulton in San Francisco and attended Presidio Junior High and then Washington High School in 1955. She began her college education at U.C. Berkeley, and married the late Alfred (Skip) Bousquet, Jr. at the age of 19. After several years in Germany, Pam raised her two sons Matthew and Ken primarily in Fairborn, Ohio where she worked as a high school teacher and attended Ohio State University Law School. The family returned to California and settled in Fairfax in the early 1980’s.
After graduating from law school, Pam became a deputy district attorney in 1984 and served for almost 25 years in the Marin District Attorney’s office. She made many lifelong friends there and enjoyed hosting her work gang for lively dinner parties. Pam enjoyed traveling immensely with many visits to Europe, Asia and India. She loved the New Yorker cartoons, her nightly martini, and was a staunch supporter of See’s Candy school fundraisers and the Golden State Warriors.
She joined the Sausalito houseboat community in 1988 and as head of the Harbor Equity Group worked tirelessly to create a process to secure permits at the county, state and federal level thus preserving a way of life that is enjoyed by all the current residents. Pam lived on her houseboat for 32 years with her longtime companion Cornell Ross, who preceded her in death in June of this year.
Pam was known as “Grammy” to her grandchildren Cassandra, Sebastian and Elseay. They were the beneficiaries of her intellect, focus and love. She cared deeply about exposing them to art, ballet, music, history and travel. She loved making their Halloween costumes, attending soccer games and every school performance. No detail about their day was too small to pass along to Grammy. An annual trip to Russian River with as many family members as possible was deeply cherished. Many phone calls from Pam began with “I have a good idea.” Her family was her priority and her support was unwavering.
She prized her volunteer work for non-profits Performing Stars and the Phoenix Project. She was instrumental in helping them develop a long-term sustainability plan. Pam recognized and emphasized the success stories of the young people involved in both organizations and wholeheartedly supported both programs. In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting: https://www.performingstars.org/ https://www.phoenixprojectmarin.org/
Pam was generous, supportive and fierce. If she was in your corner, you knew it. She will be missed by all who knew her, especially her sister Paula Boghosian, her sons Matthew and Ken, and their families. The family thanks Marilyn Bryant for her home care of Pam during the pandemic. A celebration of life service will be planned once it is safe to do so.
Dr. Roger Slatt – Class of fall 1958
July 5, 1941 ~ February 22, 2020 (age 78) Dr. Roger M. Slatt died peacefully at his home in Norman, OK, with his sons, Andrew and Tom, at his side on February 22, 2020. Roger was 78 years old.
Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Helen (Nacht) Slatt of San Francisco, CA; older brother, Sherwood Slatt of San Francisco; and his beloved wife, Linda Gay Slatt, of the home. He is survived by his children, Andrew Slatt of Carrollton, TX, and Tom Slatt of Sacramento, CA; and two grandchildren, Alexander Slatt and wife Dani of Burnet, TX, and Rex Slatt of Sacramento, CA.
Roger was born on July 5, 1941, in San Francisco, CA, to Earl and Helen Slatt. Roger grew up in San Francisco eager to learn about everything offered to him. However, he found time to build friendships that lasted his entire life. Roger’s love for science inspired him to get an A.A. from San Francisco City College in 1961. Soon after, he gained his B.A. from California State University in 1965, followed by M.S. and Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Alaska in 1967 and 1970 respectively. After receiving his Ph.D., he taught geology for eight years at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Arizona State University. After his teaching and research experience, Roger spent 14 years in the petroleum industry as Research Manager with Cities Service Research, ARCO Research, and ARCO International Oil and Gas Co. before joining Colorado School of Mines as professor and head of the Geology and Engineering Department in 1992. Eight years later, Roger and Linda moved to Norman when he was named Director of the School of Geology and Geophysics at University of Oklahoma, holding this position until 2006. Leaving the directive of the School allowed Roger to focus solely on teaching, research, and his students through his Reservoir Characterization Institute, founded in 2003. Roger was Gungoll Family Chair Professor in Petroleum Geology and Geophysics at University of Oklahoma.
Dr. Slatt was a tireless worker and passionate geologist. There is probably no other place where he was happier and more energetic than the field. He was always eager to pass on his love for rocks and outcrops to his students. He published approximately 150 articles and abstracts and is author/co-author/editor of six books on a wide range of petroleum geology topics. Considered an industry expert, Roger has been an AAPG and SPE Distinguished Lecturer, and presented courses internationally for industry and government organizations. He is the recipient of the AAPG Distinguished Service Award, the Esso Australia Distinguished Lecturer in Petroleum Geology, AAPG Honorary Membership, AAPG Grover Murray Distinguished Educator Award, Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Special Commendation Award, and most recently the 2012 Jules Braunstein Memorial Award for co-authoring a poster with colleague Younane Abousleiman on ‘Merging sequence stratigraphy and geomechanics for unconventional gas shales”. He has graduated more than 100 M.S. and Ph.D. students while at OU.
In addition to his illustrious career, Roger was a loving husband to his wife, Linda, who occasionally accompanied him on his international consulting or teaching travels. Their home reflected their love of travel and different cultures by displaying items from their travels. He also enjoyed the time he spent with his sons. For instance, an August 2018 road trip with Andrew for some Montana fishing, visit [and droning] old project sites, and then on to grandson Alexander and Dani’s wedding in Las Vegas, NV. He supported and loved his sons and grandchildren on their endeavors, such as opening Fancy That restaurant with Tom in downtown Norman. Roger loved to take friends to Fancy That to enjoy his son’s dishes.
Fishing was Roger’s favorite way to get away and just relax. Every summer, he would head to Montana, Idaho or Wyoming for a week of quality fishing with his longtime friends. He was eager to try new foods on his travels but oysters and chicharron (pork skin) remained two of his favorite foods.
Roger passed away peacefully in his home after complications of an illness treated since 2017. He will be remembered as an excellent geologist, but moreover as a lifelong mentor to his students. He was a pioneer in the Oil and Gas Industry and a leading figure in the geoscience community.
Roger was a staunch supporter of his international students. He had a love for animals and would also support non-profit organizations that aided animal wellbeing and placement such as ASPCA. He also was an advocate in the fight against cancer; St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was one of his favorites. Should friends desire, contributions honoring Roger’s memory can be made to OU Foundation supporting Colombian and Venezuelan students. For more information about OU Foundation donations please contact Yoana Walschap at ywalschap@ou.edu. Donation instructions for SPCA and St. Jude’s can be found at secure.aspca.org
