6:45 pm
-- familiar face. he was always dressed in his sunday best with his signature fad era hat. sometimes he would come and sit in our chambers for hours and waiting for our meetings to begin and sometimes just waiting for someone to listen what was on his mind lionel passed a from a stroke. lionel was someone who left a significant impression from those who he came in contact with. for that reason, over 70 people including supervisor john avalos were at his memorial this past friday. lionel was visiting his family in florida when he first contracted. he left the hospital and he thought his life might be ending and he didn't want to pass away in the
6:46 pm
state of florida. he wanted to come back home to san francisco to be surrounded by a community that he loved so dearly for the last 2 decades. he took a bus all the way from florida to san francisco so that he could be with his friends and community when he passed away. many of you have had the opportunity to hear lionel sing or maybe he grabbed your hand as you walked down chambers as he told you what he thought we needed for the city. many of you may heard him sing lolita. he head rich bear tone and loved music and he would share his music with office interns, educating us with jazz and rhythm and blues. he was act ive with many
6:47 pm
organizations, with community actions and episcopal organizations and senior organizations. many of you were seen lobbying by him for homeless shelters which you know is a growing population for homeless shelters. he was also the longer senior serving the center. people will mark their time as before or after the appearance of lionel. we spent a lot of time this year talking about the need for housing here in san francisco. lionel always reminded me that improving housing that we house seniors with dignity should be a top priority for all of us. lionel passed away before he had a chance to move to a bigger space from the hotel he lived in . he in fact lived in
6:48 pm
one of our neighborhood hotels and part of a garden they were able to initiate this last year. lionel was not only a lover of music but a cooker and entertainer. and reminded us that seniors were not interacting and his wish was to bring other seniors to socialize. he was the only senior that granted from the chef program. a 6-month program that includes classroom instruction, hands-on kitchen training for institutional restaurant setting and job placement and coaching and we have a small business around the corner pink bake ry that utilizes some of our chefs from this restaurant. this was his way to contribute back to the

6:50 pm
their lives. in particular bobby bogan who wanted to be with his community where he would pass. lionel, one thing that was something about lionel, he was a strong advocate around local hiring. he was here on the advocacy efforts. he was a master carpenter and was a cabinet maker and made a lot of great things. he wanted to teach people how to do great cabinet work. he had a lot to teach people as well. i want to say, thank you, lionel for your work in san francisco and florida and all the life's that you touched and the world is

6:52 pm
objection that should be the case. why don't we hear from these two individuals. speaker: thank you supervisors for helping us call attention to lionel. there is a lot of important work here. i just want to acknowledge and say there is a lot of people out there, a lot of folks who come out here to city hall to talk and a lot of people in the community and streets. they are not just another voice talking and another person talking. they are a person with a very rich life which a lot of us care for a lot. there is a lot of people that pass away. lionel, was a cool guy. he was really great. i'm going miss him. it's really really sad. we brought him up here, even in passing. he's still making trouble. here is a picture of lionel doing what he liked to do best. there he is singing.

6:57 pm
of our coach here mr. win. i'm here to honor you as the san francisco board of supervisors because you earned that. you brought not only your team together band the school together and the community together. that's what people do. they inspire people and make them want to work harder and you do that. you were 12-1. and when coach played back in the day, he was older than i am. i just want to be clear about that. i was at galileo when he played and he was a part of something that's never been done in the history of our football public high school since i was there and that is we had a three-peat at galileo. that is 88, 89 and 90 and you were a part of that winning team. and you were senior class
6:58 pm

6:59 pm
outstanding accomplishment. i'm here to say, congratulations, gentlemen. when you work hard, truly you make things happen. i want to make sure you understand that not only did you inspire your school and your team. you inspired your community and inspired an entire city and clearly the san francisco board of supervisors which is why you are here to be honored today. congratulations and thanks for your hard work and coming together and just being role models and being here and showing how teamwork makes a difference. thank you.

supervisor norman yee: never mind. way before you were born. i am so proud of you, lions. yes. i have to say this is really exciting for me to be in this position to be able to honor you because during years when i was going to galileo, we had some great athletes. in fact we had a really team in varsity that took to cities in a row and these guys were really fast but we never won a championship. for me to have all you standing here, well, with a trophy, it makes me really proud to be part of the galileo family. so, i'm glad you are here. you guys look great. you were great on the football team and you look like you are ready to take on other things
