Obituary
Louis Vary died Sept. 24. He was 81.
Mr. Vary was born in Hungary on Oct. 5, 1939 to Joseph Vary and Amalia Suto.
Growing up during the war, he hustled for food rations to feed his family, while his younger siblings attended school. When he was 18, he joined the Russian Military. He left Hungary with his first wife in 1967, and came to the United States. They raised their first child in New Jersey, moved, and became a part of an immigrant community in Southern California.
Mr. Vary became a painter and worked from the moment he arrived to the U.S. He raised his two other children in Watsonville and would take them fishing and camping. In 1991, Mr. Vary met and married his wife Paulette Carsen. They were together for 30 years.
Mr. Vary was an organized and punctual person. He was funny and made everyone laugh. He had a joke for everyone. He enjoyed staying home with his wife and sitting outside to feed the hummingbirds.
Mr. Vary is survived by his wife, five children; Louis "Lali," Stephanie and Eldon Vary, Kristoffer Vary-Russell and stepson Travis Carsen. He also leaves behind nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
