We have lost a lost of classmates over the years, In Memoriam, and since that list was created we have lost some others. I have not listed any of them here, because I wasn't sure I should, but I have been reminder that this is something we all should know and therefore remember these wonderful people. So here are some of those we have lost since that list was made.
Mike Dickson, died this past September 20, 2008
Patricia "Pat" Clatterbaugh Rismiller, lost her battle with cancer August 19, 2009
Donations may be made in Pat's name to: Lower Cape Fear Hospice Foundation

In response to my email of yesterday, I received an email back from BJ Hayden, wife of our dear classmate, Tim Hayden, letting me know that Tim had died suddenly of a heart attack on Saturday, July 31, 2010, in South Carolina. He was actually in the hospital for another problem when he died. A memorial service was held for Tim in Rock Hill, SC on August 7.
For those living in the Washington area, there will be a visitation for Tim this Thursday, August 12, between 7 and 9 pm at National Funeral Home, 7482 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA 22042. I hope to see some of you there.
There will be another memorial service for Tim on Friday, August 13, at 11 am at Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints, 4911 Ox Road, Fairfax, VA, with a luncheon to follow. A graveside service will commence directly after the luncheon at National Memorial Park, 7482 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA.

If you would like to send a card, the address is Mrs. Betty Jane Hayden, 8522 Ulster Court, Indian Land, SC 29707 or an email to timhayden68@msn.com.
Tim was a very outgoing, fun-loving guy who loved the Class of 1962 and loved the gatherings at Ledo's. He recently sent me pictures of him, his brothers, and their families celebrating at Ledo's while he was in town before the old restaurant closed down. We are very saddened by his death, and he will be missed by all of his classmates.

Some of you may not have heard, but another of our classmates, Henry "Hank" Hartwick of College Park, MD, died on March 18, 2010. He will also certainly be missed.
If I have forgotten anyone, please let me know and I will update the list. So it is with a heavy heart and a God speed, we say goodbye to our classmates.
