Classmates Who Have "Gone on Ahead"...

(Update, 2/7/2010: Thank you Debbie Kelley and Spencer McIlmurray for reminding me of Janine Sampson, who passed away the Summer of 1969... between our sophomore and junior years.)

Many have asked about classmates who are no longer with us, those we cannot reconnect with nor celebrate our 40th anniversary year with. Here are twelve classmates who've "gone on ahead" of us.

Our sincere thanks to Suzy Burke, Director of Alumni Services, for sharing the names of our deceased classmates. (Note that these are deceased classmates that Bishop Stang High School has been notified of.) If you have information of any deceased classmate not listed here, please let us know.

We remember...
Brigid (Best) Smith
David Dupre
James Galavotti
Thomas A Gamba
Edward J Gonet
Michael McCann
Diane M Metthe
Christine Pallatroni
Anne M (Rapoza) Ranieri
Karen Santos

  6. Only the good die young. You, me and Pat Wilkenson (or however the fuck he spells it) will live forever.

    Love you all!

  7. May they rest in peace. I was so shocked to see how many of our classmates have passed away. Thanks for informing all of us! I also thought there was someone else right after senior year, a guy, who died in a motorcycle accident. I just can't remember!? Maryann Moses Shaker
