On Monday evening, Nov. 2, Dottie passed peacefully surrounded by her loved ones at Verdugo Hills Hospital in Glendale. Dottie is survived by her loving family – husband George Tissot and son Christopher Tissot. She was preceded in death by her father Kenneth Debus, mother Dorothy Debus and brother Ronald Debus.
The entire Debus family was born in Chicago, Illinois. They later moved to the Glendale area in the mid 1960s where Dottie later met and married her husband George in 1973. They lived together in the La Crescenta area.
During this time, she worked in the trust department at United California Bank, later working for a recreational land development company in their accounting department. Upon the birth of their son, Dottie felt that becoming a homemaker and staying at home mom raising Christopher was more important than outside employment. In the years that followed, she worked at the school computer lab, as a playground supervisor, Cub Scout den mother and at bingo at Holy Redeemer grade school.
Dottie was always known for her compassion and always caring for others. She was a giving person who never judged, but was always there to lend a helping hand. All who knew her will truly miss her.

Dec. 7, 1942 – Dec. 5, 2015
Richard Krause, the Ole Skipper, Glendale firefighter and fire captain for 27 years, passed away suddenly Dec. 5. He had been retired 17 years and was fully enjoying the good life playing golf, camping and fishing, RV-ing to the mountains, ocean and Monument Valley. He had a lifelong passion for classic cars.
A natural athlete, his pursuits included snow- and water-skiing and tennis. A longtime runner, he loved all sports and the outdoors. And animals, especially dogs, which many of his closest friends were.
Born to parents Ruby and Bud Krause in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he quickly learned he wasn’t crazy about school, but excelled in winter sports, ice-skating and medaling and “lettering” in downhill ski-racing, slalom and ski-jumping.
Enlisting in the Marines, he sailed to Japan and Hawaii, and was honorably discharged in 1964. That page in his life meant a lot to him. Semper fi!
He met and married his love and best friend, Kathy Keating, while he was a division manager at Sears Roebuck. They spent 46 years together pursuing adventures: driving the ALCAN Highway from L.A. through B.C., the Yukon and Alaska in an eight foot camper, finally boarding the Alaska State Ferry and sailing through the Inland Passage home.
There were ski trips to the French and Italian Alps, Mexico camping trips, and RV-ing through a lot of Canada. A full and wonderful life well lived!
When he joined the fire department in the early ’70s, he found the career of his lifetime – he loved it! And he loved the guys he worked with, and the camaraderie they shared!
He returned to school earning his A.S. degree and taught fire science at Glendale College. Additionally, as animals were one of his many interests, he studied and became a docent at the L.A. Zoo for two years.
He has three wonderful siblings, sisters Sue McClanahan (Vern), Joann Eichten (Gary), and Judy Barbeau (Rich), all of whom reside in Minnesota.
He is greatly missed by his large family and many friends, including sister-in-law Trish Keating, cousin Cheryl Coughlin and many many beloved nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents and lifelong best friend Bob Fiske.
Further obituary for Richard is posted at http://tributes.com/condolences/view memories/103092832 where others can post their comments and stories.
Memorial services will be held at Forest Lawn Glendale at the Church of The Recessional on Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. A Celebration of Life will follow the services.
