A memorial is planned for 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9 at Arcata High School for 16-year-old Gregory "Geddie" Kuljian, his father Howard Kuljian and his mother Mary Elena Scott, the Times-Standard reported over the weekend.

The family was caught up in heavy surf, which pulled first their dog, then Gregory, and then his parents into the waves at Big Lagoon Beach over the Thanksgiving weekend. The family's other child, Olivia Kuljian, 18, survived.
