or business.
All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries.

ZIMMERMAN Ivan Age 21 of San Francisco, CA died on
December 3, 2005 at San Francisco State University in San Francisco, CA
from a fall. He was born on October 26, 1984 at the Kaiser-Permanente Hospital
in Redwood City, CA the son of Mary and Harold Zimmerman. Ivan grew up
in Pleasanton, CA attending Fairlands Elementary, Harvest Park Middle,
and Amador High School where he graduated in 2002. He entered college in
the autumn of that year. He moved to an apartment on Vidal Drive near the
SFSU campus where he started school, majoring in Business Applications
of Information Technology. Recently he transferred to the City College
of San Francisco and was matriculated there at the time of his death. Ivan
was athletically inclined. He wrestled during his second year of middle
school and played five seasons of Little League Baseball. While at University
he took up serious running and could be seen daily on the trails around
Lake Merced. He maintained a health-club membership and used it regularly.
During vacations in New York he greatly enjoyed the time he spent skiing
at Bristol Mountain and waterskiing on Canandaigua Lake. He also developed
a love of popular literature. Starting with the Goosebumps series of books
in fourth grade, he soon moved on to C.S. Forester's historical fiction
specifically those stories involving Horatio Hornblower. His subsequent
brief interest in science fiction abruptly shifted to the thrillers of
Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler. In recent months he was reading Lawrence
Block's mystery novels. Ivan's mother taught his chess when he was in grammar
school, but he didn't start playing seriously until late 2003. By this
summer his numerical ranking was consistently above 1100 and his parents
were trying to learn from him. Ivan was devoted to family and friends.
Along with other grandchildren he spoke at his grandfather John Prislopski's
funeral. When his best friend from high school moved to Florida, Ivan continued
to stay in touch with him. He often played the role of system administrator
for his mother, restoring functionality on her computer when all seemed
lost. When his father fell ill this past summer Ivan made a special effort
to get home each weekend to help out. He had a fine Thanksgiving and was
looking forward to Chrismas, having asked Santa for a digital camera and
any recent work by Lawrence Block. He had already bought gifts for friends;
these will be given to them at the Wednesday visitation. Maple Grove Cemetery
overlooks the high school from which his mother graduated and where his
grandmother taught for many years. It is the resting place of many of Ivan's
relatives. He will lie near his grandfather. Ivan wasn't given time to
leave his mark on his profession but he filled the memories and hearts
of his family with purest light. He was a wonderful son, a natural gentleman,
and a true friend. We mourn his death. We miss him terribly now and always.
Viewing will be held at Callaghan's Funeral Home 3833 East Avenue 3-5PM
on Wednesday December 7, 2005 in San Francisco, CA. Buffet reception at
