In partnership withBeaumont Barnaby Bianchi
November 21, 1941 - June 12, 2019
Beaumont B. Bianchi passed away on June
12, 2019 after a brief illness. He was born in San
Francisco to the late Harriet Barnaby Auty Bianchi
and Tito Julius Bianchi. His favorite place to be was
in the company of his very close and extended
family. He is survived by his wife of 54 years,
Wendy, whom he met his first week at Stanford
University. They made their home in La Canada
Flintridge, California for the past 50 years. Beau is
also survived by his son, Alex (Courtney) and his
three adored granddaughters, Natalie, Claire and
Mia Bianchi; his brothers, Adam (Penelope) and
Tito (Cameron); and his sister Nora Stent (Peter).
He loved and was so proud of his 9 nieces and
nephews and his 18 grandnieces and nephews
who will miss and remember him forever. Family
meant everything to him.
After his early schooling in Northern California,
Beau attended and graduated from Deerfield
Academy in Massachusetts, returning to California
to attend Stanford University, graduating in 1963.
After attending Harvard Business School, he
began a 45-plus-year career in the securities
business, starting with Dean Witter and ending
with Alex Brown/Raymond James. He retired in
November 2018. His retirement allowed him to
spend more time enjoying the special activities
and friendships he made in his beloved clubs:
the Valley Hunt Club, the California Club, Los
Angeles Country Club and Birnam Wood Golf Club.
Beau’s magnetic personality drew people to him,
delighting and inspiring them. His natural poise
and charm, combined with supreme discipline,
and irrepressible levels of enthusiasm, made for
a unique and unbeatable combination. He was
generous, cheerful and a true gentleman.
Exercise, fitness and sports were a huge focus
of Beau’s life. Beginning with skiing in his youth
and a stellar but brief Little League experience,
he excelled in lacrosse and basketball at Deerfield
and soccer and rugby at Stanford. His later
passions were biking all over the world, tennis and
golf. He had the good fortune to play many rounds
at celebrated golf courses such as the Old Course
at St. Andrews, Augusta National, Cypress, and
Shinnecock, among others. Beau was a runner
before it became popular and worked out with
weights when only football players and weightlifters
did. Beau was happiest when he was strenuously
overexerting himself in some form of exercise or
sport. It wasn’t enough to just bike, he wanted to
go on a 100-mile ride, preferably one with steep
uphill inclines and no downhill stretches. He had
been known to run the 10 miles from his home to
his downtown LA office, arriving before the market
opened. He once challenged himself and a friend
to a 2-day bike ride from San Francisco’s Golden
Gate Bridge to Santa Monica and succeeded.
Whether it was skiing, running, biking, mountain
climbing or working out, he wasn’t satisfied unless
his muscles screamed for mercy! He pushed
himself to the limit.
Beau seriously tested his limits 7 times by
competing in and finishing 7 Hawaiian Ironman
Triathlons, winning his age group one year.
He found great joy in what others viewed as a
crazy and impossible ordeal. During the last few
miles of the 112-mile bike ride in Kona, in the
100-degree heat, when someone called out to him
in encouragement, he turned with a huge grin on
his face and exclaimed, “Isn’t this a great day?” He
said that a lot. Beau’s preparation, passion and iron
will propelled him, not only in athletic endeavors,
but in everything he attempted or encountered.
He loved the challenge of fighting through and
enduring tough situations.
In addition to his active lifestyle, Beau trained his
considerable energies on the many longstanding
friendships he developed from childhood, school
years, fraternities, business, sports and clubs. He
made friends easily and he cherished them. His
loyalty, his generosity and kindness, his unique
philosophizing, and his fun-loving personality
made him beloved by all those who were fortunate
to know him.
Beau’s motto throughout his life was “Do it all
now” and he did just that ... and then some! He
loved his life and lived it to the fullest. When you
think of Beau, think of him with that ever-present,
magnificent smile and his palpable and contagious
enthusiasm. He frequently held court expounding
on the “meaning of life”, and this is undoubtedly
because he had discovered it.
A celebration of his extraordinary life will follow
at a later date.“Some people come into our lives and quickly go;
some stay for a while and leave footprints on our
hearts, and we are never, ever, the same”.OBITUARY NOTICES

San Marino, CA – Richard H. Nalick, M.D., a
longtime resident of San Marino, CA, passed
away peacefully at home on September 1, 2019,
surrounded by his loving wife and family. He was
85.Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1934 to Lester
and Louise Nalick, Richard moved with his family at
age 8 to Southern California. Raised in San Gabriel
and Temple City, he graduated from Pasadena
High School and attended Pasadena City College,
UCLA, and California State University-Los Angeles.
He earned his medical degree in 1966 at what
was then the USC School of Medicine, and soon
after completed his internship and residency at
LAC+USC Medical Center.Following a tour in Vietnam, where he served
in Long Binh as a U.S. Army captain and surgeon
for the 93rd Evacuation Hospital, Richard returned
to civilian life and continued his education. He
completed a two-year fellowship in gynecologic
oncology at LAC+USC Medical Center and began
a medical practice that would span nearly 50 years.
A clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at
USC for more than three decades, he was also a
life fellow of the American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists, a member of the American
College of Surgeons, and a member of the Society
of Gynecological Oncologists. A nationally known
expert on the human papillomavirus (HPV) and its
link to cancer, he published dozens of papers on
the topic.Patients, colleagues, residents, and nurses knew
Richard as a compassionate physician and teacher
who always gladly made time for anyone who
needed his help or advice. One long-time patient
described him simply as “brilliant—and the nicest
doctor you will ever meet.”A talented jazz clarinetist, Richard parlayed his
love of music into paying gigs in his teens and 20s
that enabled him to pay for his medical studies. He
continued playing clarinet at a professional level all
his life, often performing for—and giving lessons
to—his grandchildren in recent years.Despite a rigorous work schedule, he always
found time for athletic endeavors. In 1975, Richard
picked up jogging as a means to get in shape and,
over the years, his hobby morphed into a passion
for competition, driving him to complete well
over 100 distance races, from 10K events to full
marathons, including the New York, Los Angeles,
and Boston Marathons. He eventually sought even
greater challenges, pushing himself to the limits
with events like the Western States Endurance Run
(100 miles) and numerous triathlons, including the
Ironman Triathlon in Kailua-Kona, HI in 1984—one
of his most cherished accomplishments.Richard is survived by a large and loving family,
including his beloved wife of 55 years, Mary;
sons Mike, Jon, Steve, and Jim; their spouses
René, Kathleen, Stephanie, and Kiyomi; and
grandchildren Jamie, John, Dylan, Daniel, Emma,
Shay, Ryder, Malia and Koa. He will be fondly
remembered for his kindness, generosity of spirit,
and abiding love for his family and friends.A memorial mass service will be held at Holy
Family Catholic Church at 10 a.m. on Thursday,
September 26, 2019, followed by a reception. Holy
Family Catholic Church is located at 1527 Fremont

career, died at home Aug. 14 after a five-year battle
with esophageal cancer. He was 66. A longtime
resident of La Canada Flintridge, he is survived

Soviet Union. “He was truly unflappable in dealing
with breaking news on tough deadlines,” said
former colleague Jon Thurber. John Paul Whitefield
was born July 13, 1953, in Ranger, Texas, to Jane
and Charles Whitefield, a war hero who flew 74
missions over Germany during WWII. Their son
graduated from high school in Fremont, Neb., and
received a bachelor’s degree from the University
of Nebraska in 1975. He then obtained a master’s
degree in international relations from the University
of Hawaii and began work on a Ph.D there, with
the goal of eventually teaching. At the time of his
retirement in 2015, he oversaw copy editing and
production of the Times’ op-ed pages and was
a frequent contributor of online humor pieces. In
addition to his wife and sons, he is survived by a
brother, Charles David Whitefield of Carson City,
Nev., and sisters Kay Louise Story of San Antonio
and Karol Ann Michelsen of Canadian, Texas.
Another brother, Joe, died in a car crash in 1983.
