OECHSLE Walter Oechsle, 82, of Delray Beach, FL, died from complications related to COPD on June 30, 2016 at his summer home in Sudbury, MA surrounded by his family. He was a pioneer in the field of international equity investing. The son of Matthaeus Oechsle and Regina Bopp Oechsle, he was born in Leutkirch, Germany on April 8, 1934. One of five children, he grew up in Bad Saulgau during World War II and its aftermath. His childhood memories included frequent air raid sirens, food scarcity, and long interruptions in his schooling due to the war and postwar French occupation.

His mother died shortly following the war when he was a young teenager. Despite the deprivations of the post-war period, he was able to obtain a tennis racquet and taught himself how to play. He became the top tennis player in his region for his age group, catching the attention of a French officer who connected him with the American Field Service (AFS). Through an AFS student exchange program, he came to the USA in 1950 at the age of 16 to attend high school for one year. He lived with the family of Charles C.

and Miriam Boyd Parlin and attended Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood, NJ. He later recounted the discomfort he felt as a German coming to the US shortly after the war, and his desire to help dispel what he imagined were negative views that Americans held about Germans at that time. However the kindness of the Parlin family and everyone at his high school alleviated his concerns, causing him to fall in love with the United States. At the end of his yearlong exchange program he returned to Germany, but he was later invited by the Parlin family to return to the US for college, and their generosity enabled him to attend Lafayette College. Graduating in 1957 as a history major, he began graduate work in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, but changed direction and ultimately went on to receive his MBA in finance from New York University.

He began his career in 1959 as a financial analyst and investor at Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder, winning wide acclaim for his perspectives on international political, economic, and financial developments; for five years he wrote "Overseas Commentary," a column on international investing, for Forbes magazine. Later, as the head of the international division of the Putnam Management Company, he played an influential role in convincing US institutional investors to diversify a portion of their portfolios abroad, making the case for less efficient markets, higher potential returns, and reduced risk. In 1986, he founded Oechsle International Advisors, the first boutique investment management firm specializing in international investing, which attracted a who's who stable of blue chip clients, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Cal PERS, Cal STRS, and many others. Oechsle, ever the contrarian, retired after a long and successful career in 2000, a time when he perceived that equity markets everywhere had gotten ahead of themselves.

He was predeceased, four years to the day, by his wife of 54 years, Christa Huber Oechsle. Christa was born just 10 miles from Walter's hometown, and she and Walter first met as teenagers in Germany. In the United States he became reacquainted with Christa, who had come to the U.S. to live with relatives on Long Island; they married in 1957 and eventually settled in Dix Hills, NY. When he wasn't working he devoted his time to his family and enjoyed sharing his passions for tennis and chess with his daughters, teaching them to play and engaging in fiercely competitive matches with them once they could play well enough to challenge him.

His daughters remember that the intelligence, competitive spirit, and strong work ethic that served him so well in his professional life also made him a formidable tennis player; he spent many hours with a ball machine perfecting his slices and drop shots, which he used to great effect to frustrate and exhaust his opponents. Him and his family moved to Sudbury, MA after he began working for Putnam. After his retirement, he and Christa began spending most of their time in Florida, but also enjoyed spending summers in Sudbury, as well as vacations and holidays at their home in Vermont. His family remembers fondly the interesting, wide-ranging, and often animated discussions around the breakfast or dinner table in Vermont that he so clearly relished, his wry wit and keen sense of humor making for many memorable mealtimes. In Florida, he turned his attention from tennis to golf, a sport he became as passionate about as he had been about tennis.

His grandchildren fondly remember riding in the golf cart with their "Opa" when they were little, and later joining him on the course and marveling at his unorthodox, yet uncannily consistent, golf shots. He was also a gifted storyteller, and his grandchildren were fascinated by Opa's stories about his childhood in Germany; each grandchild's birthday card from Opa always included a wartime vignette of what their grandfather's life was like at that age. He was always grateful for the opportunities he received as a young immigrant from both the Parlin family and Lafayette College. His awareness of the importance of these opportunities to his success influenced much of his and his wife's philanthropic activity. In 1996 he and Christa established an endowed scholarship fund at Lafayette specifically for students from Eastern Europe.

Walter and Christa delighted in getting to know these "Oechsle Scholars" during and after the students' years at the college, often inviting them to their home for Thanksgiving or out to graduation dinners. He and Christa also provided financial support for two buildings on Lafayette's campus: Oechsle Hall, which houses the neuroscience and psychology programs, and the Oechsle Center for Global Education, which furthers the college's goal of incorporating a global perspective into every student's educational experience. His commitment to Lafayette extended beyond financial support; he was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1995 to 2004, and in that capacity gave much of his passion, intellect and energy to the college. Christa and him also supported a number of other organizations important to both of them, including the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, the Israel Tennis Centers Foundation, and the Addison Reserve Cancer Unit in support of the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami, FL. The Miriam Boyd Parlin Residence at Parmenter Hospice in Wayland, MA and the Community Building at Cold Spring School in New Haven, CTwere also made possible by Walter and Christa's generosity.

Walter was also a member and supporter of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. In addition to these public charitable gifts, he quietly extended financial support and helpful guidance to scores of individuals throughout his life. He is survived by his daughters, Martina Vasconcelles, of Wellesley, MA. (and her spouse, Michael), Linda Oechsle, of Hamden, CT. (and her spouse, J.

Bunton), Jennifer Brown, of Lido Beach, NY. (and her spouse, Eric); seven grandchildren (Andrew, Alexander, and Oliver Vasconcelles, Will and Tyler Bunton, and Caden and Cameron Brown); his partner, Lisa Fullmer; two sisters, Herta Blum, of Tuttlingen, Germany and Erna Geilsdorfer of Stuttgart, Germany; and several nieces and nephews and extended family in both the United States and Germany. A private family burial is planned near his beloved home in Plymouth, VT. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CareGroup Parmenter Hospice (266 Cochituate Wayland, MA 01778) or the Addison Reserve Cancer Unit (co Addison Reserve Country Club, 7201 Addison Reserve Delray Beach, FL 33446).

KraeerDeerfieldBeach.com. sunsentinel.comobituaries 1-800-250-2000 FORTE ni formed a mutual admiration society. Drier told a Herald reporter in 1995, "Kathie Lee is the consummate professional. She sets the tone for these shoots." Arison told the Herald: "Bill Drier was an important part of our company's history and the driving force behind the TV campaign that made Carnival synonymous with cruising. When Carnival Cruise Line launched the cruise industry's first national advertising campaign featuring Kathie Lee Gifford in 1984, Bill was instrumental in conceptualizing a series of memorable ads that really captured the essence of what a Carnival cruise was all about.

Bill left an indelible mark on our company and industry, and he'll be forever missed." Such was his reputation, when Drier and co-founder Bill McFarland sold their $48 million advertising agency to the Ohio firm HameroffMilenthal Spence in 1994, their names were added to the new company's masthead. Billings at the Miami office soared to $100 million. Drier remained as president and executive creative director of HMS McFarland Drier for two years after the merger. Only when Drier, a recipient of numerous Addy Awards, left did the McFarland Drier name finally retire. Drier and McFarland were affectionately known as Bill and Bill.

"In a former life, we were probably a vaudeville act or something," Drier quipped in a 1987 Miami News profile. The personality of an agency is dictated by its heads, an account supervisor at McFarland Drier said in the feature. "Bill and Bill are team players. There are no closed doors around here." The duo believed in delegating responsibility, promoting from within and hard work, culled from "the Midwestern work ethic" of their birthplaces, Drier said. "We work our buns off." Born April 7, 1933, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Drier's grandfather was a tinsmith who had a business on the banks of the Ohio River.

"Now I have an ad agency on the Miami River. And I suppose that's progress," Drier told the Herald in 1987. His love of boating and the sea, mingled with his ear for music, delighted his family, daughter Dinah O'Toole said. "The word 'fun' had a meaning to him all on its own," she recounted. "He made everything fun for his family, creating a jingle for any activity that took place.

Whether it was waldng up in the morning, showering or driving in the car, there was a jingle he created for every activity that his kids remember and still chant." Drier's son David, now a hotel director with Carnival, was a champion swimmer at Christopher Columbus High School in the early 1980s and at college. His father got into the spirit. "When the family hosted half of the Auburn men's swim team one Thanksgiving, the team members all had a symbolic ear piercing which he was perplexed by. So he decided to get one of his daughter's beads out of her craft kit and glue his own earring on, to the amusement of the teammates," recalled O'Toole. After retiring in the late-'90s, Drier and his wife Maryellen moved to Mount Dora.

He could often be found on the water in one of his wooden Chris-Craft boats on river trips from Central Florida to Jacksonville. "He loved to teach his kids boating and fishing, and anything to do with the water," said his daughter. "He was a placid individual," added Dickinson. "A great sense of humor and took life in stride. He was a joy to be around and there was never any drama which is unusual with creative types.

He was the exception. Very even-keeled." Drier is survived by his wife, two children and grandson Devon. Donations in his name can be made to Cornerstone Hospice Palliative Care Foundation. By Howard Cohen THE MIAMI HERALD Miami advertising executive William "Bill" Drier is responsible for one of the most infectious ear worms to come out of the industry. If you watched television in the mid-1980s, you can't possibly forget the infectious tune that went along with the lyrics, "In the mornin'In the evenin' Ain't we got fun." Bet you're humming.

As co-founder of McFar-land Drier, the Miami ad-vertising agency that created the Kathie Lee Gif-ford ads for Carnival Cruise Line, Drier was the creative whiz behind those commercials. He went along with Carnival CEO Micky Arison who pushed Gifford (then known as Kathie Lee Johnson) to become the company's celebrity face choosing her over more familiar names at the time like Bernadette Peters, Sandy Duncan and Three's Company co-star Joyce DeWitt in 1984. Drier didn't write the original melody for Ain't We Got Fun that came from a Richard Whiting foxtrot in the 1920s. But he was shrewd. "In looking for music, Bill discovered that he could buy rights to Ain't We Got Fun for a song," said Tim Gallagher, retired vice president of public relations for Carnival.

Drier's tweaking of the song, Gifford's giddy performance and the enticing images worked. The ads propelled Gifford's career and put Carnival on travel enthusiasts' radar. The jingle, part of the initial $10 million account with Carnival, cemented McFarland Drier as a premier ad agency in Florida Among its accounts: AAA, Met-roZoo, Greater Miami Convention Visitors Bureau, Florida Department of Commerce, the Falls Shopping Center, the Miami Herald and former Miami News. "What people don't realize is the tremendous impact he had on the developing cruise industry through his work for Royal Caribbean and then, later, for Carnival," Gallagher said. "Many industry observers felt that, while the Kathie Lee Gifford commercials were great for Carnival, they actually benefited the entire industry.

It was the first cruise line net-work campaign and it showed all the features and fun that a cruise had to offer." Drier's death at his retirement home in Mount Dora in central Florida, June 20 at 83, touched many in the industry. "He was the creative genius behind the execution of our first several series of commercials for Carnival," said Bob Dickinson, retired chief executive officer of Carnival Cruise Line. "He had a keen sense of how to trigger people's emotions and the results speak for themselves. We became the largest and most-popular cruise line in the world within months of that campaign." After the first Ain't We Got Fun commercial aired on July 9, 1984, the company added three ships in a 22-month period, Dickinson said. "Demand filled those ships.

We doubled the size of our fleet in that 22 months." Gifford and Arison took to Twitter to share memories of Drier, who was alieu-tenant in the Air Force. He began his advertising career in New York with Doyle Dane Bernbach. In 1972, Drier moved to Miami to be creative director at Hume Smith Mickelberry before founding McFarland Drier at the turn of the decade. "Saddened by the loss of the wonderful Bill Drier, who spearheaded the original CarnivalCruise commercials. He was a true visionary," Gifford posted.

In another Tweet, directed as a reply to Arison, she said: "He was a wonderful man with a wonderful sense of humor and an incredible knack for storytelling. He was so sweet to my ldds." The ad exec and TV star Vardalis-Jones, Nancy 67 of Pompano Beach, FL, passed away on Thursday, July 7, 2016. Nancy was a well-liked and respected banker in Broward County, FL, servicing clients at American National Bank in Oakland Park, and later Northern Trust Bank in Ft. Lauderdale, from which she retired. Nancy is survived by her beloved husband, Ron Jones; her loving children, Diane Vardalis, Sharon Vardalis, and stepdaughter.

Amber N. Jones. She is the proud grandmother of Jessica Mumma and Antonio Tirone, Jr. Nancy enjoyed being a Grandmother and cherished every minute she could spend with Antonio and Jessica. She also enjoyed spending time with other family, friends and Barefoot Chardonnay.

(954) 941-4111 www.kraeerpompanobeach.net Kathryn Louise Erickson Wirtel: July 1 5, 1921 July 5, 2016 Kitty Lou was a quietly charismatic lady about whom a negative word was never uttered; nor did she ever disparage another human being. She was born on July 15th, 1921 in Portland, Oregon and was adopted by Louis Erickson, a Swedish immigrant Northwestern Life Insurance Executive and his wife, Kathryn Louise Law. The Ericksons had four boys, so Kitty was their special daughter, and how special she was.

In St. Paul Minnesota, she developed an immaculate set of Midwestern manners, an insatiable curiosity and a sense of generosity and giving that defined the rest of her life. Equestrian, pilot, one of the City of Ft. Lauderdale's 1st female lifeguards, model, head turning executive secretary for Saks 5th business owner, athlete, gourmet quality cook exquisite baker, and neighborhood chauffeur were some of the parts she played during life. However, her most important roles were those of wife, mother and friend.

She was married to the late Joseph F. Wirtel for what one could call a romantic journey that lasted 49 years. Their devotion to each other was the stuff of story books. Kathryn had four beloved children: Kathryn Hopkins 1946-, George R. (Ring) Guy 1947-1978, Joseph P.

Wirtel 1960- and Michael Robert "Meese" Wirtel 1962-1993. Though pre-deceased by two young sons and her husband, she was able, somehow, to find sunshine every day of her life. In doing so, she taught us how to grieve: how to walk that fine line between honoring the past while living in the moment. She was a devoted friend who was a master "old school" letter writer and an infinitely patient phone conversationalist. In short, Kathryn Wirtel had that rare "feel good factor" gift that you will not find very often these days.

If you feel at all inclined to pay tribute to the life of Kitty Lou Wirtel, please donate a few dimes to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation 110 East 42nd St. 16th Floor, NY, NY 100017.
