Lester O’Meara ’33 on January 16, 2010.  Les graduated from Santa Clara University and proudly served in the U.S. Navy as a commissioned officer during WWII. After the war, he became a principal in the mechanical engineering firm of O’Meara-Sanford-Alessi Inc. He was president and national committeeman in the Consulting Engineering Council, past chairman of the Architects and Engineering Conference Committee, served as a director for the Sacramento Builders Exchance, chairman of the County Board of Appeals for the building department, and was also a member of the Sacramento City-ounty Chamber of Commerce. O’Meara was a generous contributor to civic, welfare, religious, and young organizations and education institutions. Les and his wife "Sue" were members of the Del Paso Country Club for many years where they enjoyed playing golf and socializing with their friends. It’s nice to imagine Les back on a big beautiful golf course in Heaven trying for that next hole-in-one, a smile on his face, no pain, no worry. Les is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Muriel (also known as "Sue"); his nephew John (Polly) O’Meara of Newport Beach; his sister Vivian Felton of San Rafael; nieces Claudia (Howard) Jones of Clovis, Calif., Majorie (Bob) Price of Jettersville, Calif., Janet (Lawrence) Fogel of Scotts Valley, CA and Susan (Byron) Levey of Watsonville, Calif., and several grand and great nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
