Bekah's Story
When I was at Cubberley, My name was Rebecca Bolitho. My brother Brian was also at Cubberley class of 72. He tragically passed away from a self inflicted gun shot to the heart after suffering the loss of his life partner Margaret, their home in Mountain View, his Ram Van with wheelchair lift, his health and his will to continue to suffer. I am planning a memorial at Mitchell Park on September 19, 2022.

The one place that rivaled his love of the desert was the Haley beach, where we’ll scatter his ashes next summer.
Brian was unwaveringly devoted to Margaret from the moment they met, in the classifieds, to the moment she passed away, holding his hand. We will forever be grateful to have witnessed their love. Let's hope they are together again.
We will remember him always for his booming laugh, endless ingenuity, head-to-toe tie dye, and his lifetime love of pool.
