When David was diagnosed with a liposarcoma he sought care in many spots - one being Boston. I knew the surgeon that he was considering using to do a second surgery and so I invited him to stay with us as he connected and got worked up. Of course, it was truly weird, but I always really like David and we had a great time. The night before he was to get surgerized, we stayed up drinking single malt and he decided to opt for going to Sloan Kettering and chemotx. A smart choice in my mind, but all his, in any case.
David was all in - I was honored to spend some quality time with him when I hope it mattered. He got a lot out of life and also did give back.
My kids thought he was very cool.
From Jake Jacobson on July 28th, 2012
Warm, funny, good friend since elementary school, Appleman as we called him, always had a quick wit and a smile to share.
He wasn't too bad on the tennis court either. Mostly cleaned up the points quickly, except for one time we laughed so hard he let me win !
Thanks David :) you are missed.
Douglas was born on May 8, 1954 and passed away on Thursday, November 14, 2013.
Douglas was a resident of Soquel, California.

Aptos man ID”d in fatal bike crash
Douglas Barton was identified Tuesday as the 59-year-old Aptos bicyclist killed in a crash on Cathedral Drive.
Barton collided with a 1998 Toyota Tacoma about 8:50 a.m. Nov. 14 on Cathedral Drive north of Burns Avenue, said California Highway Patrol officer Brad Sadek.
Barton was taken by ambulance to Dominican Hospital where he later died, Sadek said.
The crash report was not complete on Tuesday and the cause of the wreck has not been determined, authorities said.
Two other drivers saw the crash and have helped officers in their investigation, according to the CHP.
The pickup driver, a 40-year-old Santa Cruz man, was driving slowly when Barton collided with the front of the vehicle, Sadek said.
Doug, who had changed his name to Chayim later in his life, was my first true love from the age of 13-18.
I knew at that young age he had mind focused on his inner world. Along with lots of kissing, dancing, canoeing and hours and hours on the phone we read books on enlightenment and meditation together.He was the youngest to get a black belt in judo in the state. He was on the diving team and if it wasn't for his nemesis Pete Zumberg he would have finished first at state diving tournaments. We learned so much together. It was Chayim who when we were graduating from high school brought up that we should get married or go our separate ways for a while and explore. So we chose exploring. He went to Aspen and became a ski "bum." Still the most fluid and beautiful skier many had ever seen.
I went to visit him in Aspen about 6 months later and he had already met Wendy, later changed to Shamaya. They were destined to be together. I WAS NEVER JEALOUS. To this day Shamaya and I are best friends and do not let a day go by without talking.
Chayim died days before their son was to be married.
He had bought a new bike and true to Chayims philosophy of life had faith and trusted that all is meant for a reason.
He also had complete faith in his athletic body and quick reactions. No one knows for sure what happened that day as he was flying down the one way forest road going to work from home. His new bike or helmet didn't have a scratch on it.
He was brought to the hospital and was transfused with all the blood they had while his son was on a plane flying from to New York to try and get to him. His son sang every song they used to sing together. Every poem they wrote together. Shamaya was a labor and delivery nurse at that hospital and happened to be working when she saw her husband brought in by ambulance.
Thanks for indulging me. Chayim was a very special being. Not just because I loved him. As I grow older I realize what an extremely blessed person I am to have been loved and able to love an extraordinary person.
From Daniel SLOAN on August 1st, 2022
Doug held a 3rd kyu (brown belt) when he introduced me to the sport of Judo. Even then, one could experience his dedication to excellence. He said, "If you step into this throw 10,000 times, you can complete it fairly well. Then take 10,000 step-ins on your off-side."
The OBIT published elsewhere on this website tells us how he died in a tragic bicycle accident, while the FPMT Mandala gives us an idea of how he lived ...
Chayim Douglas Barton, 59, died in
Aptos, California, United States,
November 14, 2013, after a bicycle
accident
By Yakov A. Barton
Chayim was a psychologist who traveled a
vibrant and healing spiritual journey. He
drew from Jewish, Tibetan Buddhist and
Native American traditions and had a
transformative effect on his family, friends
and clients.
Chayim graduated from the Univer-
sity of California, Santa Cruz in 1982 with
a double major in psychology and religious
studies. He was introduced to Tibetan
Buddhism in the spring quarter of 1978.
He enrolled in a course led by Lama Yeshe.
By the end of the quarter, Chayim was so
impressed with the teachings of Lama Yeshe that he continued to study Tibetan
Buddhism and practiced his vows until the
end of his life.
In 1980 he embarked on a nine-
month pilgrimage and field study that lead
him around the world. Most of his journey
was spent in Nepal and India. His three-
month stay in Nepal included a lam-rim
course at Kopan Monastery, teaching the
young monks English and yoga and
trekking along the Jomsom Trail in the
Himalayas. In Dharamsala, he stayed at the
Tushita Meditation Centre. He stood in a
long line of hundreds of people at Losar to
be able to greet His Holiness the Dalai
Lama. In 1983 he participated in the Six
Yogas of Naropa taught by Lama Yeshe at
Vajrapani Institute in California. He was
also present at Lama Yeshe’s cremation.
Chayim obtained his Ph.D. from the
Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in
Menlo Park, California, in 1990. His disser-
tation was titled Jungian Psychology and the
Mahamudra in Vajrayana Buddhism.
He had a psychotherapy practice in
Soquel and led vision quests in the deserts
and mountains to help people seek out
deeper meanings and reconnect with the
Earth. He engaged people in joyous rituals
that were inclusive, musical and infused
with love. Chayim was a shaman, a sailor,
a kayaker, a backpacker, a bicyclist and an
amazing downhill skier. He was an avid
drummer and lovingly crafted ornate
drums and rattles from buffalo hides,
sticks and bones. He loved the sacred and
the absurd. Chayim lived a life unencum-
bered by fear.
Chayim was a devoted husband and
adventure companion to Shamaya for 40
years. He was a beautiful father to Yakov
and his fiancée Cynthia, son to Stan and
Sharon, brother to Dan and Lynn, and
uncle to Dimi, Chelo, Miquel and Jaume.
He fought for many hours to recover from
a bicycle accident he suffered on his way
to work, but could not win that battle.

Janet suffered from Huntington's chorea, a genetic disorder. I remember what a fighter she was. In high school she went on a Boundary Waters canoe trip with our church youth group when anyone else would have just given up all hope. She had a great smile whenever she accomplished something others thought would be impossible for her. I learned so much from her example.

Jeff and I were friends from late grade school on though high school and beyond. We partied together, worked together, got in trouble together. Jeff had many talents. I just wish he could have harnessed them and used them. We had many good times together.
Jeff had a good side to him but also a troubled side. he was the kid parents said was a bad influnce on us ;) he and i almost joined the Navy in what was then known as Underwater Demolition ( or Seals ) today. all because we liked to Scuba Dive. I came to my senses at the very last min. while Jeff decided to join the Airforce. He started a great side bussiness at the State Fair with a famous pork chop on a stick. we saw each other over the years but he let his darker side pervail and we went our seperate ways. R.I.P Jeff

Susie was my cousin, friend, confidant. She was a friend to all and an insipration for a life well lived. The following is her biography from an annual scholarship given in her memory to high school graduates by the Twin Cities Japanese Amercian Citizens League.
Susan Emi (Tsuchiya) Matsumoto 1954 – 1980
Susan E. Matsumoto Memorial Scholarship
Twin Cities JACL
Susan Emi (Tsuchiya) Matsumoto was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1954 to Frank and Helen Tsuchiya. At age 4 in 1958, Susan and Family moved from Minneapolis to St. Louis Park, Minnesota and lived there until she married David Matsumoto in 1978. Susan had two brothers, Frank and Todd Tsuchiya.
Susan graduated from St. Louis Park High School in 1972 as one of the students in the top academic honors group. She graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Education in 1976 with very high distinction.
After graduation, there were very few teaching jobs anywhere in the State of Minnesota. There was one opening in the Bloomington, MN school district and with hundreds of applications submitted, Susan got the job. She had written her whole application in beautiful calligraphy attracting the judges’ attention. The judges saw this, checked her grades, and she got the job. The position was at Park Elementary School in Bloomington. At the time of her death, she was a second grade teacher at Parkview School in Rosemount, Minnesota.
In many scrapbooks and countless papers show how she printed every program in beautiful calligraphy for all gatherings such as JACL, Buddhist Church programs and many other organizations who wanted her expertise. She never refused. She was always willing to help.
Susie was an accomplished musician; she played the piano, clarinet, and saxophone. At her high school graduation, after her lung surgery, her solo performance included five different instruments. Everyone could not believe she “blew” into these five instruments. She was always in first chair playing her clarinet for the Concert Band. She gave piano lessons to the children in the neighborhood throughout her college career to help pay for her tuition. She appeared many times on TV or at different parties to play her koto, the same koto that her Grandmother Tsuchiya played when she was a young girl.
Susan was a true Buddhist. She belonged to the Twin Cities Buddhist Association and taught Sunday School. All the children loved her as she made it fun to study the teachings of the Buddha, by performing plays, craft work, and songs. When she married, her husband David was a Christian. He marveled at the way Susan believed and started to believe it also. After her death, David studied further and became a Buddhist minister to pass the teachings onto others. He is currently President of the Institute for Buddhist Studies, Director of the Center for Contemporary Shin Buddhist Studies, and past resident minister of the Berkeley Buddhist Temple.
This is truly Susan; Who suffered through many recurrences of her illness but never complained about it. Her illness began at age 10 but she never gave up and believed she was going to live each day and carry on the work she believed in.
The Susan Matsumoto Scholarship Fund was started by Sally Sudo who taught her piano lessons when she was a very young girl. She could see Susie’s potential in learning not only piano but other things as she went to her house each week. This scholarship has been in existence since her death in 1980. Most of the recipients have been high school graduates and it seems most were girls who resemble Susan's capabilities in academics, music, art, and community service. Many recipients have followed Susan’s footsteps and have succeeded in their future endeavors.
From Chaiya(Wendy) isenberg on August 4th, 2012
Susie was awesome at everything she did. I think of her often as I drive by her house almost daily, honking my horn and waving at her mom (Helen). Sat next to her in band . She was the best clarinetist. She played her Koto at Eliot School for us all and sharing her Japanese heritage. I looked up to her. She left us much too soon.

Phillippi, Marilyn was born in Minneapolis on March 26, 1953 and died peacefully on April 6, 2023 while her beloved sister Sally prayed at her side. Marilyn leaves behind her companion Bob Mallon and longtime friend Gale Nielsen. Marilyn's quick wit often entertained both staff and residents at Masonic Home in Bloomington, MN-her home for the past three years. Marilyn always acknowledged everybody's birthday with the knack for finding the "appropriate" birthday card often to the chagrin of the recipient and never forgot to add cash for a youngster's birthday. She was a proud aunt and great-aunt who provided much love and care to her nieces and nephews over the years. Marilyn has joined the Community of Saints with her parents, Marion and Joe and brothers, Tom and Tim. She is survived by sisters, Kathy (Bill) Fox, Gail Archer and Sally Hunner and brothers, Mike (Kathy) Phillippi and Joel (Bonnie) Phillippi and many nieces and nephews.

Lin & I met at the bus stop on the first day of kindergarten at Brookside elementary. Having discovered that we lived only one block apart, we became fast friends. In fact, the time I ran away from home (8 years old), it was to her house. We shared lots of life together including our weddings and later our kids played together whenever I visited Mpls. She contracted Hodgkins Disease in high school, but was in remission for over 20 years. When she died, she had been married 21 years and had 3 children. (Leslee Cato)

Karen loved to ski and we would ditch school on good snow days, load our gear into her 57' Chevy and take off for Buck Hill, sometimes Afton Alps. She was a very graceful downhill skier and a patient instructor as she tried to help me improve my low/intermediate skill level.
Karen, your friendship is dearly missed. Rest in peace. xox
