Lois Vidimos misses the touch of her husband s hand most.
Whenever they took a drive, Robert Vidimos II â better known as R.J. â would throw the car in park, walk around the back and take her hand as he held her door open. Always a gentleman, R.J.âs small gesture made her feel like Cinderella getting out of her carriage â even if they were just running an errand to Wal-Mart. It s the oddest thing, but it s one of the hardest thingsâ I ve had to face since heâs been gone, Lois said.
After fighting COVID-19 on his Ames couch for two weeks, R.J. died from complications of the disease on Nov. 16. He was 58.

Streetwise - The Sands of Time
by Frank Dunnigan
September 2009
There was a time, not all that long ago, when sand dunes still covered most of the Outside Lands. Even today, I can recall the massive expanse of sand that once covered the corner of 17th Avenue & Vicente Street where St. Cecilia s Church now stands. There was an even bigger area at the Sunset Reservoir near my grandmother s house on 21st Avenue near Quintara, plus any number of corner lots on Taraval, Vicente, and Noriega, from 19th Avenue all the way out to the beach. But the biggest sand dune that I remember, and the one that had the biggest impact on my life stretched from 37th Avenue to 39th Avenue, and from Pacheco to Rivera.
