THOMAS SOMMERVILLE
The funeral service for Thomas Sommerville, 61, of Greenbrae, an engineer for Bechtel Corp. will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Church of All Faiths, Corte Madera.
Sommerville died Friday at his home after a long illness. Sommerville was a native of Pasadena who graduated from Oregon State University and served three years in the Navy during World War II.
He was an engineer for Aramco in San Francisco and Saudi Arabia before going to work for Bechtel in 1960. He lived in Tripoli, Libya, for 11 years before moving to Marin in 1972.
Sommerville was a volunteer worker at Greenbrae and Anthony Bacich elementary schools, a cub scoutmaster and a Little League coach.
Surviving are his wife, Mary Louise Sommerville of Greenbrae; a daughter, Mary Sommerville of Washington, D.C.; and six sons, David, Craig, Billy and Randy Sommerville, all of Greenbrae; Thomas Sommerville of Florida and Daniel Sommerville of Berkeley; and two sisters, Elizabeth Lindholm of San Marcos, San Diego County, and Ruth Argersinger of Pasadena.
The family prefers that memorial contributions be made to the Church of All Faiths or a favorite charity.
