by Chuck Miller

        BARSTOW -- A memorial service for former Mayor Bill Pope, 62, will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Desert View Memorial Park chapel in Victorville.

        Pope, who was mayor from 1988 to 1990, and served on the City Council from 1984 to 1988, died Sunday at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fontana of brain cancer.

        On Monday, people who knew him and his work lauded him.

        "Bill Pope was a great family man, who loved his community and always worked for the underdog,” said former Mayor Mal Wessel, who succeeded Pope.  "He was in the forefront of the city's efforts to bring the Factory Merchants Mall to Barstow."

        Pope also played a key role in the League of California Cities.

        "He was an innovative person, who was instrumental in founding the High Desert division of the League of California Cities," said former Councilman Manuel Gurule, who served with Pope.  "Through this effort, cities in the region work together to deal with mutual problems."

        Pope served as vice president of the league division for several years.

        He was mayor when Barstow went to court in a historic water-rights case that eventually assured the city an equitable share of Mojave River flow.  And Pope helped launch a concentrated economic-development program.

        Pope's resignation as mayor in September 1990 came as a surprise to Barstow officials.  He said he was stepping down for personal reasons.

        "He loved Barstow, feeling he could make a difference by serving in elective office," said Luz Pope of Hesperia, his wife of 16 years. "His election as mayor was a highlight in his life."

        Pope served as a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy for 20 years, and was stationed in San Bernardino, Yucca Valley and Barstow before retiring in 1979.  He later became a private investigator.

        He lived in Barstow from 1977 to 1990 when he and his wife moved to Apple Valley.  In 1996, the couple moved to the San Francisco Bay area, returning to the High Desert two years later to live in Hesperia.

        Pope was active in the sheriff's search-and-rescue programs in Barstow and Yucca Valley, his wife said.

        When Pope was 6 years old, his father died from burns suffered while rescuing seven people from a house fire in their hometown of Shelbyville, Ind., in 1944.  Ore* Pope was honored posthumously with the Carnegie Medal of Honor for heroism.

        "That left a significant impact for Bill," Pope's wife said.  "His father was a role model in all directions Bill took in life.  He always stood up for what he believed, regardless of the personal cost."

        Similarly, Bill's brother, Jim, died while rescuing a nephew from a truck fire in Nashville, Tenn., in 1976.

        Pope was a graduate of San Bernardino Valley College and was a licensed polygraph examiner.

        Surviving in addition to his wife are three sons, Dan of Yucca Valley, Billy Jr., of Helendale, and Mathew of Hesperia; a daughter, Nicole Stillwell of Havelock, N.C.; his mother, Martha Pope of Hesperia, two brothers, Jack of Yucca Valley and Dan of San Bernardino, his sister, Judy Mathis of Last Vegas and six grandchildren.

        Bishop Nathaniel Jones of the Barstow church of God in Christ will officiate at the memorial service, which will be at the Desert View Memorial Park chapel, 11500 Amargosa Road, Victorville.  Burial will be private.

Morris, who preceded her in death in 1988.  One son and three daughters survive this marriage, Larry Morris and his wife, Sarah Jo, of Devola, Jane Kapes and her husband, Robert, of Sarasota, Fla., and Linda Tucker and her husband Stanley, and Pamela Slater and her husband, Kenny, both of Bradenton, Fla."  Perhaps Kenneth was a nickname.
