Friends Who Pass On

There’s probably not one of us in this world that hasn’t had a close friend pass on. My most dear friend Clarence Jones “C. J.” Cansler was one of those quiet, compassionate, yet remarkable, individuals who excelled in everything he touched. C.J. did so many outstanding things in his lifetime. From a high school track star, he went into the U.S. Army as a Ranger. It wasn’t before long that he was known as one of the best sharpshooters in the service. C.J. lived life to the fullest. He played hard, and he worked hard. In his hometown in Alabama, he was a general contractor and later went into electrical contracting.

However, it wasn’t until he moved to Las Vegas that he helped support the career of his wife, Dr. Kathleen Cansler, from her internship on through her establishing a practice. She is one of the finest internist in the valley. They had one daughter, and she is one of the top junior soccer players in Nevada.

During C.J.’s last years, when he was enjoying the fruits of his labor, he became one of the most successful sports photographers in the business. He had that magic of knowing how to take a picture and make it come to life on the pages.

I was honored to know C.J. for about 15 years. He was the kind of person who didn’t have to say a lot; all he needed were a few words to make his point.

And so, in remembering our friends, we can recall their important life’s highlights. C.J.’s were his pictures through boxing events, Ultimate Fighting Challenge and celebrity photo shoots. But most importantly, C.J. was such a giving person. He was known among his peers as one of the top professional instructors of photography at Community College of Southern Nevada. He was also a very charitable person and helped during holidays deliver bags of toys to less fortunate children.

One of the things I’ll remember most about him is that he listened to people’s problems. I know; I was one of those he advised on a personal basis. The truth is, if C.J. were here today, he would say that there are no shortcuts in life; that you have to work hard to reap the benefits, and most important, something he often said: “One good deed deserves another, but one bad act can bring another one your way.”

A picture is worth a thousand words, and C.J. Canslers’ photos will inspire comments for years to come.

Scenic San Diego

More than ever, people are making time to take four to seven day cruises. Cruising is a part of life that no one should let slip by. There are also dining cruises, such as the San Diego Harbor cruises for couples, singles and families when they can only take a few hours out for a day or evening outing. The setting for these cruise are spectacular, especially that of the skyline of San Diego. This is one of the most breathtaking dinner cruises I’ve ever experienced. San Diego Harbor Excursions have been serving the area since 1915. The staff and service is dependable and friendly, plus they have six ships serving the San Diego Bay. The Spirit of San Diego, the ship I was on, holds about 250 people, and they offer a variety of cruise packages from $37.50 for children 4-12, up to $62.50 per adult. This includes a dinner menu selection of entrees, such as Iron Steak, Grilled Tenderloins, Herb Grilled Chicken, Dungeness Crab Stuffed in Pacific Snapper. They do offer vegetarian dishes. Also, they offer complimentary champagne.

For a breathtaking view of the Skyline of San Diego, including its naval shipyards. I highly recommend taking some leisure time to experience San Diego Harbor Excursions or consider holding your special events, weddings, graduations and other occasions aboard. As the company and others say, it’s “an unforgettable dining experience on San Diego Bay.”
