Lesly Carina Ceballos-Santos, BHS 2003?

On March 26, 2020 the Lord called one of his daughters Lesly Carina Santos (Ceballos), home. Lesly was born August 22, 1984 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. In 2001 her parents brought her to live in Burbank when she was 16 years old. On September 2019 Lesly was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. She fought as hard as she could to win the battle but after months of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and countless E.R. visits, her body just kept getting weaker and weaker. The tumors kept growing and spreading throughout her body, taking over all her vital organs until her body finally gave out.

Lesly, leaves behind her husband Edgar Ceballos and her 3 beautiful daughters: Analie (15), Sarah (4), and Andrea(1.5).

Lesly was a very intellectual woman who dreamed and worked hard for many years towards her bachelors degree. Lesly was enrolled at Pennsylvania State at time of her diagnoses and was due to graduate this spring with a degree on Computer and Science. Her goal was to work for Bank of America as a Cyber Security Specialist.

Lesly was a long time and loyal employee for Bank of America. She worked for them 16 years and despite of all the changes the bank had, she always adapted and embrace the changing jobs, pay cuts, relocation. She enjoyed working for the bank and learning all the ins and outs of her multiple job opportunities.

About six years ago she nearly died during a car accident where she was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery to save her life. She has been married with Edgar Ceballos for 8 years now, who loves her dearly and supporters her in her life and career decisions. She has been working for the same employer for the past 15 years now. Prior to her diagnoses she was working full time, going to school full time to earn her bachelor’s degree online from Pennsylvania State University, while still being a great wife and mother.

She was diagnosed with Diffused Signet Ring Adenocarcionoma, a very aggressive cancer, at the young age of 35 (just turned 35 last year). After two weeks of testing and going back and forth with doctors they told her she has about 18 months left to live. Being the fighter that she is she decided to get a second doctor’s opinion. So on September 19, 2019 the other doctor confirmed the worst!!! She has stage 4 cancer, which means it has spread to her other organs. The Doctor told her there is no time to waste and needs to start chemotherapy as now. She started an aggressive chemotherapy followed soon by a surgery that will help to remove the tumor found in her stomach wall. If this tumor is NOT remove it will block the passage of food, which inevitable would lead to her death.

Lesly was a caring and loving person who enjoyed dancing Salsa and Cumbias. She enjoyed watching movies, and eating at one of her favorite restaurants, El Sauz taco shop in Glendale, CA. Her favorite thing to get from there was Mexican tortas. She loved roses and tulips. She would like you to remember her as a cheerful and loyal friend, who always had your best interest in mind. Rest In Peace, our beloved friend. Lesly Ceballos Aug 22, 1984 - Mar 26, 2020

Ground Casualty

During September 1970, the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division conducted offensive operations in their assigned area of responsibility west and south of Da Nang in Quang Nam Province, RVN. Their primary mission was to defend the Da Nang vital area military complex. At approximately 9:40 AM on September 11th, two Marines from H Company, 2/1 found a booby trap placed at a waterhole 100 yards from their platoon patrol base located eight kilometers (4.8 miles) northwest of Dien Ban. The boobytrap was an M33 grenade in a C-rations can with an 18-inch tripwire suspended across the trail. The Marines removed the boobytrap and carried it towards their patrol base when they were intercepted by a platoon sergeant, SSGT James M. Ball, who took custody of the device and moved to a nearby berm to dispose of it. 

His plan was to remove the grenade from the can and throw it over the berm. The platoon radio operator and corpsman observing Ball from 40 yards away admonished him not to separate the grenade from the can because the delay mechanism may have been removed. Ignoring their warning, the grenade exploded six feet from Ball after pulling it from the can. He was critically injured, receiving fragmentation wounds to the neck, chest, abdomen, right shoulder, back, and right hip. Three other Marines nearby were also injured, one critically. They were medivacked to the 1st Medical Battalion in Da Nang. Ball required resuscitation upon arrival followed by emergency surgery. He never regained consciousness and subsequently developed bilateral (double) pneumonia. Despite massive antibiotics and assisted respiration, Ball’s condition failed to improve, and he expired at 9:25 PM on September 16, 1970. 

Ball, 28, was on his third tour of Vietnam. He had been extensively trained in handling booby traps, and his unit reportedly received weekly lectures on booby trap precautions including the Viet Cong practice of removing the delay device from grenades. It was noted in the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines Command Chronology for September 1970 that the failure of Ball to follow practices emphasized in training at the cost of his life would be reiterated in future instruction.

Glen Walter Haws, BHS 1953

Glen Walter Haws, BHS 1953 

Sept. 24, 1935 — Feb. 4, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, Glen Walter Haws, who passed away on Feb. 4, 2026, at the age of 90.

Glen was born on Sept. 24, 1935, in Burbank, California, at the home of his grandparents, to parents Glen and Maxine (Odermatt) Haws. A lifelong resident of Burbank, he took great pride in the city that shaped him. One of his favorite childhood stories was serving as paperboy to heavyweight boxing champion Jeff Jeffries — a story he never tired of telling.

He attended Burbank High School, where he met the love of his life, Beverly (Danell) Haws. After graduating in 1953, Glen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Following boot camp at Camp Pendleton, he returned home to elope with his 17-year-old sweetheart before being deployed to Japan and Korea. In 1956, they welcomed their first son, John, while living in a trailer at Camp Pendleton.

After his honorable discharge from the Marines in 1956, Glen worked as an apprentice machinist at Mitchell Cameras in Glendale before achieving what he considered his true calling. On Sept. 1, 1957, he was hired as a firefighter for the city of Burbank — becoming a proud second-generation Burbank firefighter, following in the footsteps of his father, who joined the department in 1943.

In those early years, when firefighter pay was modest, Glen worked multiple jobs to provide for his growing family. He drove his Model A Ford pickup to local dairies, loaded it with manure, and sold it door-to-door, spreading it on lawns throughout the neighborhood. He also worked as a plasterer and painter — doing whatever it took to build a stable life for his family.

In 1959, their second son, James, was born. The following year, Glen purchased a home on Kenneth Road in Burbank, where he would live for the rest of his life. Robert was born in 1962, and their daughter Linda (Wright) in 1968, completing their family of four children.

Over his 40-year career with the Burbank Fire Department, Glen rose through the ranks, promoting to engineer and later to captain in 1973. Being a firefighter was not just his profession — it was his dream. He loved the camaraderie, the service, and the stories that came with the job. Though he retired in 1998 due to a medical condition, it was a career he never truly wanted to leave.

Glen was a storyteller at heart. He cherished sharing memories of growing up in Burbank and recounting his years on the fire department. His life was rooted in family, hard work, and dedication to his community.

He is survived by his children: John and daughter-in-law Kathy; Robert and daughter-in-law Terrie; and Linda and son-in-law Mark Wright; seven grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and his sister, Donna Edwards. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Beverly, in 2009, and his son James in 2025. Glen’s legacy lives on in the family he built, the city he loved, and the department he proudly served.

Born in Jamestown, New York, to John and Rose Pollino, Julia’s journey began before her family moved to Burbank, California, where she grew up and proudly graduated from Burbank High School. It was in this vibrant community that she forged lifelong friendships and laid the foundation for her future.

After completing her education, Julia found her soulmate in Robert (Bob) Howick, and they entered into a beautiful marriage filled with love and adventure. During Bob's service in the U.S. Navy, they embraced the joys of living in San Diego before returning to Burbank to nurture their growing family.

A woman of boundless spirit, Julia took immense joy in spending time with her family, traveling the world, and cultivating connections with friends, both near and far. Her unyielding devotion to her role as a wife, mother, and grandmother was evident in all that she did. Julia’s warmth, grace, and indomitable presence will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Funeral services to celebrate her life will be held at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills on March 4, 2026, where family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a remarkable woman who brought joy and love to so many lives.

George Thomas Van Hoye, 69, of Medford, Oregon, passed away May 24, 2015 at Providence Medford Medical Center. He was born in Alderson, West Virginia to Charles and Azelda (Burns) Van Hoye.

Dad served in the U.S Marine Corp and fought in Vietnam. After the service he began his love for riding motorcycles and loved the ape hanger Harley Davidson. He loved riding and spending time outside while camping, fishing or going on walks, especially in the desert. He collected coins and enjoyed working out, but the thing that really meant a lot to him was rebuilding his 51’ Chevy pick up truck.

He fell in love with Kimberly Grinstead and became a father of two. He was a proud dad that always showed his kids the correct way of doing things and taught them manners and to treat people with respect. He worked hard in life to support his family no matter what he had to do. Family meant the world to him, he taught us, that without family you have nobody. Dad also loved animals, at times it seemed as if he could talk to them. He had a good heart and would do anything for anyone who needed him.

George is survived by a son Daniel (Somer) Van Hoye, their children Kryztian Van Hoye, Nevaeh Van Hoye and Rayven Boatwright. Daughter Tasey Graves and children Kyle Graves, Kira Graves, Michael Glockling and

From Mike's son Derek:

Michael Kubelka is my father. He passed away from throat and lung cancer on 02/21/2006 at his childhood home in Burbank. My father was very proud of his military service during the Vietnam war. He served in the 101st Airborne Division as a medic. After his service, he returned home to Burbank and worked as a finishing carpenter. He married my mother, Jackie, and had one child (me - Michael Derek Kubelka) in 1976. My mother and father were only married for a few years, but remained close friends until his death. My father never remarried. When my father was diagnosed with cancer in December 2005 my mother insisted that she take care of him, which she did, until he passed away on February 21, 2006. 

My father has two grandchildren, ages 3 and 1. Unfortunately, he never had a chance to meet the youngest. He was only around for the first 4 months of the oldest life. Nevertheless, he was extremely proud to be a Grandpa! My father was a good and honest man. He had his fair share of flaws, but he always put friends and family first. He was known as "everyone's dad" because he always seemed to be giving fatherly advise to all of my friends when I was growing up. He is missed a great deal by all of those that knew him.
