Re: Classmates Who Are NOT in the Year Book |
I am sorry to report that Mike died in 2011 and his brother Jeff in 2008. You can find their obituaries in the online Martinsville Bulletin obituary search page. |

Re: Classmates Who Are NOT in the Year Book |
Thanks Leon, had not seen him in any of the several lists of departed classmates and I didn't see him in a quick scan of our "caps & gowns" photo. Wondering if Mike actually graduated with us? |

Re: Classmates Who Are NOT in the Year Book |
Hi Bob,
I was with Mike the night he died. he was watching TV and had a massive heart attack. Tom Hall, Mike's wife Peggy and I were at the hospital when he was pronounced dead.
Mike and I had almost daily contact for over 50 years. he was my best friend. I miss him very much. Ironically, I had to identify Mike's brother's body the day he died. Jeff lived alone, his house caught fire and he died of smoke ihnalation. |

Re: Classmates Who Are NOT in the Year Book |
Leon, Jim and Ken, thanks for getting back to me about Mike and Jeff. I ran into Mike maybe some ten or twelve years ago; he and his wife were running a little shop in what used to be Woolworth's on Church St. It was great to be able to renew our friendship. |
