OBITUARY:

Harry Blaine "Peter" Gould, 84, of Athens, passed away on September 19. He was born March 7, 1937 in Athens to the late Jake Gould and Mary Jane (Lammons) Gould.

Once an architecture major, Peter Gould turned his hobby into an artful vocation: designing hand carved furniture. Working in Santa Fe from 1968 to 1996, his reputation as one of the finest makers of handcrafted pieces spread throughout the country and abroad. Peter brought his talents and workmanship back to Athens in 1996 and will most likely be remembered for the time he devoted to the Lake Athens Marina. Peter was diagnosed with Levy Bodies Disease in 2015 and moved to Zurich, Switzerland , where he spent the remainder of his days in the loving care of his family.

Throughout his lifetime and up until his last days, Peter woke up every morning with a smile on his face and the belief and desire to make a difference. Peter is remembered by all for his strong character, the sparkle in his eye, and his enduring smile.

He was preceded in death by brother Robert A. Gould. Survivors include his four children, Georgeana Gore and husband Larry of Cuba, New Mexico, Tamara Could of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Harry B. Gould, Jr. and wife Deborah of La Rue, and Alexandria Schindler and husband Alex of Zurich, Switzerland; five grandchildren and one great granddaughter.

A memorial will be held for Peter in Athens in October, to be discusses when and if, details to follow.

Notes:

Mary Jane sent me a lovely little book (just a loan for a week), covered in tartan plaid, "The Clans and Tartans of Scotland" by Robert Bain, Foreword by His Grace THE DUKE OF MONTROSE. Published by Collins, London & Glasgow, Aug 1938. This book has a history of Highland Scotland plus a picture of every Clan tartan and each clan history.

"Mary Jane Gould is fondly called the "Pope of St. Matthias" by parishioners. From the day she joined St. Matthias in the early 1950s, Mary Jane was "front and center," not only in the pew in which she and her husband Jake chose to sit every Sunday but in her total immersion in St. Matthias' activities. She actively served in the Altar Guild, in the New Church Building Committee, and in the Woman's Guild. She organized those who spent hours creating the needlepoint altar-rail kneeling pads and actually did one herself. She was the instigator and the backbone of the Smorgasbord, the annual luncheon just before Lent which offers the community a "taste" of the cuisine produced by the great cooks of St. Matthias. Above all else, she exemplifies the meaning of Christian love and spirit and inspires all who know her. This book is a small recognition for all she has been to us and the community to which she has contributed so much."
