Ronald J. McAfee Jr. of Hollister died on July 5, 2002 at Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital. He was 47. Mr. McAfee was born in Corning and came to San Benito County 18 years ago. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1972 to 1974 on the Ariscany Aircraft Carrier. Mr. McAfee was proud of the Shell Back Certificate he received when his ship crossed the equator, since his father was Lt. Commander of a ship that never made the crossing. Later he was a cook at the old Feedlot in Tres Pinos and was well known for his barbeques. Mr. McAfee most recently ran the Treasured Gifts shop next to the Granada Theater. He also worked for Hazel Hawkins Hospital in the dietary department, Sunbridge Care Center and at the Dunneville Store. "He wasn't happy unless he had two or three jobs," said his wife, Janis K. McAfee. In addition to his wife, Mr. McAfee is survived by son Ronald Jack McAfee III of Hollister, siblings Janny Ballou of Corning, Laura Bolea of Salinas, Alma McAfee of Monterey and George McAfee of Monterey, uncle David McAfee, close friends Ted Chambers and Ted and Judy Pietrobono, and several nieces and nephews. Visitation will be held today from noon until 8:30 p.m. at the Grunnagle Ament Nelson Funeral Home. Friends are invited to attend the funeral service on Friday at 10 a.m. at the Mortuary chapel, with interment following at Gavilan Hills Memorial Park, Gilroy. Donations are preferred to Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital, c/o the mortuary chapel.
