John August Erbin Jr.
Harrah resident John August Erbin Jr., departed this life Sunday, Feb. 25.

John was born Oct. 4, 1923, in Harrah to John A. Erbin Sr. and Bonnie (Baxter) Erbin.

John married Corene C. Bacon. They both graduated from Harrah High School and were married May 24, 1944. The couple raised one son, Donald Wayne, born Nov. 16, 1946, plus several foster children from Baptist Boys Ranch, Edmond, and from juvenile court, Oklahoma City. One young man was a local individual who needed a place to live during the last year or two of high school when his mother moved to Germany with his step-father. Dennis Frank Robinson still lives in the Oklahoma City area.

Don married Karen Stewart, Aug. 14, 1971. Karen and Don have two boys, Jason born Oct. 26, 1976, and Brain, born July 16, 1979. Brian married Jenean Leatherbury, Jun 10, 2006. John, Corene, Don, Karen, Jason and Brian have all graduated from Harrah High School. All of the preceding except Corene attended their entire school career in Harrah Schools. John was one of those students attending school when the school burned in March of 1931, while he was in second grade.

Corene and John lived their entire married life in the Harrah community. They were active in the Harrah Round-Up Club while Don was in school. They were also active in Harrah First Baptist Church.

John, or Junior as many called him, worked as a farmer, truck driver, and a siding applicator. In the 1940's, John and Corene began working in the State Fair Concession business. John has been affectionately known as "Popcorn" by what seemed to be half of Oklahoma City and everybody at the State Fair. Many people from Harrah worked in their stands over the years. At the 1997 fair (the year after he sold the fair concessions), John worked everyday for one of his friends just to help out. Old habits are hard to break after 50 years.

John and Corene were still residing on the land purchased by John's father in approximately 1950. They enjoyed watching their grandsons grow plus discussing memories with family and friends.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Bonnie and John Erbin Sr.; one sister, Dorothy Sparkman; brothers-in-law, Melvin and Bill Bacon.

He leaves behind his wife, Corene, of the home; son, Don and his wife Karen; two grandsons, Jason and Virginia, Brian and wife, Janean; brother and sister-in-law and their spouses, Melton and Kathy Bacon, and Betty and Oren Northcutt; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Service will be 2 p.m. Wednesday at the First Baptist Church of Harrah with the Rev. Gary Eubanks officiating. Burial will follow at Memory Lane Cemetery in Harrah.

Robert William "Bob" Witcher
Robert William "Bob" Witcher of Tulsa went home to the Lord on Friday, Feb. 23, 2007, after a long and valiant battle with cancer.

Bob was born in Mooreland, Okla., on Sept. 30, 1943, and was raised in Skellytown and Spearman, Texas. He moved to Shawnee in 1962 to attend Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met and married his wife, Theresa Taron, in 1968 (with whom he just celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary).

Bob Witcher worked for the Shawnee YMCA during his college years and later in the circulation departments of the Shawnee News-Star and the Dallas Morning News in Grand Prairie, Texas.

He worked in political lobbying and oil and gas funding in Oklahoma City before the "Fall of Penn Square Bank," and was later employed in Tulsa by the Eustice Fire Equipment Company and the Firemaster Company. He owned and operated "Mugs on Mugs," a computer imaging company and worked for and later owned and managed Dental Care in Tulsa. He returned to school and graduated from Southern Nazarene University in Tulsa in 1980 and in his retirement worked in custodial care and computer management at his beloved Church of the Madalene in Tulsa. Bob's quick smile, sense of humor, ready wit, generous spirit and "never say 'can't'" attitude will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Betty M. and Arthur Ray Witcher, of Spearman, Texas, and his father-in-law, Pierre F. Taron Jr. of Shawnee.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his precious daughters, Amy of Oklahoma City, and Tina and granddaughter Presley of Tulsa.
