I’m so sorry to have
to convey that our classmate, Donald “Duck” Wright passed away yesterday,
on Thanksgiving Day. I was told that Don suffered a heart attack. I don't have any more
details that that at the moment. I remember Don as being an outstanding
athlete in both basketball and baseball at WHS, and just an all-around
good guy. To the best of my
knowledge Don resided in Arvada, CO. His older brother Frederic was a
Class of 1966 WHS grad and his younger brother Edward graduated from WHS
in 1975. |

I’m sorry to have to
report yet another passing of one of our classmates, Ed Hawkinson.
Ed passed away on May 12, 2017. There was no funeral and no
obituary. The information I received came 2nd hand from
Ed’s younger sister Marlene’s daughter, Amanda. Marlene passed away two
years ago yesterday. Marlene graduated from Lake Zurich HS in 1977.
To make this family tale longer, the information came to me from Ed’s
cousin who lives in TX. Her mom and Ed’s mom were sisters. I found
her when I looked through the comments in Marlene’s obituary. Ed’s older brother
Gerry is a Class of 1967 alumni. Gerry lives in Hanover Park.
Gerry doesn’t do email or Facebook apparently. I was only able to
communicate with Gerry through his son, Mike, who is on Facebook. Ed was still married
at the time of his death. He had no children. Rest in Peace Ed. |
