Willem Dehé, de cello-speler, was getrouwd met Musya Loekina. Ze kregen twee kinderen: Moesja en Margareth. Dat verhaal is op andere pagina’s te lezen.
‘Kleine Moesja’ en haar familie hebben we in 2011 in San Francisco bezocht. We waren daar te gast bij Vladimir en Jan (en Moesja, natuurlijk). Ze wonen in het huis waar Musya ging wonen na het overlijden van Willem.


Musya Loekina overleed 23/2/1978, 88 jaar oud. Er is een familiegraf op het ‘Serbian Cemetery’ bij San Francisco. Daar ligt zij begraven.
Moesja: Tot op hoge leeftijd verzorgde mijn moeder oudere dames in een verzorgingshuis. Ze rookte nogal en op een dag brak er brand uit in haar kamer. Ze stierf door rookvergiftiging.

Moesja trouwde in 1941 met Leo Sakovich


Ze kregen drie zonen: Vladimir, Nicholas en Bill.

Leo overleed in 2001, op hun 60e huwelijksdag
Sonoma Index-Tribune (CA) – Tuesday, June 19, 2001 Leo Sakovich passed away June 15, 2001, in Sonoma.
Mr. Sakovich was born in Latvia and came to America with his father, Father Vladimir, who was sent as a missionary for the Russian Orthodox Church, greeting Russian immigrants and finding jobs and homes for them. Fr. Vladimir began the first Russian services at Ft. Ross in 1925, and have continued to this day every July 4. While Leo worked at Stanford Hospital, he was asked to go to Bahrain as a laboratory technician and had fond memories of the trip. Upon returning, he worked 35 years at U.C. San Francisco Hospital where he gave invaluable assistance and advice to doctors. He was a member of the CAMLT and the Association of Lab Technicians of UCSF. Leo was a revered employee, was loyal and conscientious and wrote numerous articles pertaining to medical research. Leo was a loving and supporting father to his children, Bill, Val and Nick, who in turn have tried to raise their children with the same love, respect and support he showed them. He was a very active member of the Protection of the Holy Virgin Church.
Mr. Sakovich was the husband of Musya Sakovich who was the former head librarian for the Sonoma County Office of Education; father of Willem Sakovich of Saipan, Vladimir Sakovich of San Francisco, and Nicholas Sakovich of Ojai; brother of Konstantine Sakovich of Penngrove and Helen Dobson of San Francisco; grandfather of eight and great-grandfather of two.

De vader van Leo was een bijzondere man.

Museum of Russian Culture,
Leo was de zoon van Vladimir Sakovich. Hij, zijn vader en moeder waren geboren in Letland. In San Francisco, was Vladimir/ Valdimar ‘dean of the Russian Cathedral’ in de jaren 1917-1931 (vanaf 12/12/1917).
Vladimir Sakovich, hielp emigranten, Russen die de revolutie in hun land ontvlucht waren, met het vinden van werk en huisvesting. Hij was the “Guardian Angel” of refugees from the Russian Revolution.
In 1930 was dit de gezinssamenstelling:

Kijken we naar de leeftijden, dan kan de veronderstelling zijn dat de familie tussen 1913 en 1917 uit Rusland gevlucht is, zeer waarschijnlijk vanwege de revolutionaire onrusten die vanaf het eerste decennium van de twintigste eeuw het land teisterden. In dit overzicht (uit 1928?) ontbreekt Galina, die vermoedelijk al het huis uit was.




Moesja overleden
