11/23/2017 Donald G. Wright

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.

07/28/2017 Deborah A Hardeis Swiatek I was notified by Keith Perry ('69) that Debbie A. Herdeis Swiatek (69), succumed to cancer today at 4:00pm. Keith is Debbie's cousin. Here are the funeral arrangements for those who are able to attend:
Wake: Smith-Cochran in Palatine on Northwest highway Wednesday-8/2 4-8. Funeral: Thursday-8/3 10am service at St Theresa's church 455 N. Benton Street Palatine, IL.

Rest in Peace Debbie.
07/21/2017  Edward J. Hawkinson

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.
