12/27/1916 - 5/10/2003

John C. Pazaski, age 86, born in Harrah, Oklahoma on
December 27, 1916, but lived his whole
life in Bellingham. A cabinetmaker by
trade, his hobbies included motorcycle
racing, golf, billiards, bowling, and
fishing. He was one of the oldest
members of the Mount Baker Motorcycle
Club and a driving force in building
the Hannegan Speedway more than 50
years ago. For many years, John was
the best local hardtrack racer, winning
numerous trophies. He also earned
trophies while enjoying his other
hobbies including a Hole in One in golf.
John is survived by his wife of 25
years, Ardie; daughters Terri English
and Roxi Anthony (Roger); and stepson
Mike Brownrigg (Colleen). He is also

and grandchildren Tracie Webb, Melanie

Bernard Vernon Dunnigan
April 11, 1907 – May 9, 2003

married the love of his life, Eva Mary
DeGrace, and together they raised three
children; Donald of Tacoma (wife
Diane), John (now deceased), and
Colleen Copland of Bellingham. From
the beginning they were a team, our
mother and dad. Always working
together, sharing, giving, caring, or
as Dad liked to say “pulling in the
same direction!” We will always be
thankful for their beautiful example.
From his youth Dad was a hard worker
and could do many things. While still
in his 20’s he survived a near-fatal
coalmine explosion and cave-in in the
mines under Bellingham. As World War
II loomed, Dad had a young family, but
joined the war effort by becoming a
shipwright at the Bellingham
Shipyards. Following the war years, he
fulfilled his true vocation in life by
becoming a carpenter and built many
homes in our community. He loved to
putter in his shop, building, fixing,
repairing. Many in the area remember
his kindness and eagerness to be of any
help in their projects. The wonderful
vegetable and flower gardens he kept
for years were a joy to us, as he loved
to share with family and friends. Dad
was a gracious host. Through the years
we gathered around their table or they
at ours, as Dad told again and again of
his experiences in life. Now the
telling of those stories is engraved in
our minds and hearts forever.
Belief in God and active participation
in church community was vital to their
lives. Dad was a 50-year usher at
Assumption Parish, later at Sacred
Heart, and did much volunteer work. He
was a life-long member of the Knights
of Columbus, the Tall Elks, his
carpenter union, and NARFE association.
Bernard was preceded in passed away June 4, 2003 at St.
Joseph Hospital. He was married Theodora Whitesmith in 1942.
He served in the US Army in France,
Germany, and Belgium as a tank
commander. After World War II, he
served with ACS Signal Corp. until
retiring. He was a member of the
American Legion and the Knights of
Columbus here in Bellingham. In his
free time, George enjoyed photography,
woodworking, gardening, farming, and
golfing.
He is survived by his loving wife of
60 years, Theodora Whitesmith Brennan;
son Patrick (Mary) Brennan of Toledo,
WA; son David (Pamela) Brennan of
Anchorage, Alaska; daughter Janice
(Ike) Eisenhut of Ferndale; nine
grandchildren, eight great-
grandchildren and two great-great-
grandchildren. He is also survived by
one sister Dorothy Lukins of Michigan.
There will be a vigil at Westford
Funeral Home on Thursday, June 5 at
7:30 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial
will be held Friday, June 6 at 12:00
p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church
with Father David Young officiating.
