HINTERKOPF, JANE R., 85, of Miami Shores and Hollywood, FL, passed away on April 25, 2025. One of three children, she was born to Karl and Lucille Rehm on March 21, 1940. Jane was raised in Miami, Florida, where she lived her entire life, graduating from Jackson High School. She cherished her time at her “mountain house” in Weaverville, NC, creating lasting memories there with family and friends. Jane was a devoted member of the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church and an active participant in the Heidi Hewes Chapter of the Woman’s Cancer Association through the University of Miami, PEO, and the Spade and Trowel Garden Club. She played hand and foot canasta weekly with her card buddies and enjoyed family domino nights. A gifted Southern cook, Jane loved preparing beautiful luncheons and hosting elegant dinner parties. One of her proudest accomplishments was organizing the very first Holiday Walk for the Heidi Hewes Chapter in 1991—an annual event that continues to thrive thanks to the wonderful support it receives. Jane is survived by her husband of 52 years, Ernest Hinterkopf of Hollywood, FL; daughter Joy M. McCurdy (Dan) of Hollywood, FL; sons Eric Masse (Jen) of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and Karl Hinterkopf of Weaverville, NC; grandchildren Emillia Hoffman (Paul), Timothy McCurdy (Jess), Tyler McCurdy (Mollie), Cara Jane McCurdy, Ashton Masse, and Logan Masse; and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Judy R. Knight of Orlando, FL, and her brother Charles E. Rehm (Annette) of Merritt Island, FL. She spent her final years in the exceptional care of Racquel Kelly and Jennifer Watson. The family is deeply grateful for their compassion and devotion. Jane will be dearly missed by her family, who meant everything to her—and she to them— as well as by all who knew and loved her. She now rests peacefully in God’s arms, likely enjoying endless games of hand and foot canasta with the friends who passed before her. Until we meet again.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Frank Baranowski, a devoted father, proud Marine, and a man of quiet strength and deep faith, who left this world peacefully at the age of 92.

Those who knew him remember a man who never spoke loudly, but whose quiet actions spoke volumes. His warmth and generosity touched many. Frank leaves behind a proud legacy in his five surviving children, Patty Ann, Frank, Kathleen, Robert, & Peter; each of whom carries forward his values and love. They were his angels, now he is theirs. His soul is resting at peace, reunited with his beloved Patricia.

Adalberto “Al” Parra, Jr. passed away peacefully on Sunday, April, 20th, 2025 at the age of 89, leaving behind a legacy of love, curiosity, and devotion to family. Born the eldest of seven children in Brownsville, Texas, Al’s strong work ethic emerged early when he began delivering groceries for his father’s independent grocery store. Later, his father took a job with Pan American Airlines in Brownsville, and when the company ceased local operations, Al’s parents chose to relocate the family to Miami, Florida. In Miami, Al began his professional journey, first with Hot Shops, delivering food to planes at Miami International Airport. In 1956, he joined Eastern Airlines, starting in the mailroom and transitioning into the accounting department. His career was briefly interrupted in 1958 when he was drafted into the U.S. Army, proudly serving for two years, primarily stationed in Germany. Upon returning home, he resumed his position at Eastern Airlines as a production planner and later joined the International Machinists Union. Following Eastern Airlines’ closure in 1991 after an extended machinist strike, Al embarked on a successful ten-year career as a Cell Site Field Engineer with Cingular Wireless, now part of AT&T. Throughout his life, Al was defined by his boundless curiosity and diverse passions. He embraced photography in his twenties and later discovered a lifelong enthusiasm for amateur ham radio while serving in the Army. Al became deeply involved in the ham radio community, even operating his own 2-meter cell site in Turnberry Isles, Hallandale, and serving as president of both the Eastern Airlines, and the Hollywood Amateur Radio Clubs. In the late 1970s and early 80s, Al eagerly embraced the emerging computer technology. He shared this enthusiasm with his son, Eddie, spending countless hours exploring and mastering their first home computer, a Radio Shack TRS-80. His interest in technology never waned, and he remained actively engaged with advancements until his passing. Above all else, Al was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Married for 52 years to Rosa Vela Parra, he considered his sons and grandchildren his greatest treasures and took immense pride in each of their accomplishments. His love and devotion to family remain his most enduring legacy. Adalberto is survived by his beloved wife, Rosa; son, Eduardo “Eddie” Manuel (Barbara) of Redmond, WA; youngest sibling, Cesar Oscar (Evangeline) of San Antonio, TX; stepsister, Alicia Amalia Parra Reyes (Javier) of Georgetown, TX; seven cherished grandchildren—Jonathan Parra, Ashley Parra-Presson, Malia Ava Parra, Alanna Liv Parra, Mason Carter Parra, Tristan Devin Parra, and Blake Olivia Parra; two great-granddaughters, Rayne Parra and Alessia Presson; one great-grandson, Raziel Parra, an aunt, Minerva Cisneros Maldonado of Brownsville, Tx., and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was predeceased in death by his parents: Adalberto Parra, Sr., and Irene Cisneros Parra, 3 sons, Adalberto “Albert,” III, William Patrick, Carlos Antonio, his sisters, Lucia Parra-Owens, Irene Parra-Castetter, his brothers, Andres, Ernesto, and Ruben.
