High school classmates that pass away

Who in your high school has passed away? (don't name names)

I am in that age range where I see one expired every 6-12 months. I don't find out on the spot, usually months later. I don't know most of them on a personal level, but I go to their FB and can see a snapshot of their last few decades of life.

Who are some of your classmates that died and what do you remember about them? If you know how did they die?

As an old guy, I have lost a lot of classmates. One of our ladies informs us when she finds out about the death of a classmate, and I usually respond if it is someone I knew. Our last reunion was poorly attended, but the display of deceased classmates was large.

@exexec mine deceased classmates is sparse but it starting to grow. I am guess I am about 10 years behind you. I don't go the reunions--I moved over 1000 miles from where I went to H.S.

@robertsnj We are 800 miles from our high school. I think at our 30 year reunion we had lost over 20% of our class. Several suicides.

@exexec how many students on your graduating class--guestimate? I think mine was about 200-250 and we might be at 10 percent deceased with several suicides
