I was informed today that Chuck Alten (given name Jon Charles Alten),
passed away January 17th, 2018. I spoke with Chuck's son,
Rich Alten for about an hour and a
half today about Chuck's life, his accomplishments, and hobbies, and his
passing. Chuck passed way from complications of congestive heart
failure (CHF). Gail L Alten is Chuck's cousin and also our
classmate. Chuck's younger brother Bill graduated from WHS in 1972.

I'm
saddened to report that the Class of 1969 has surrendered
another classmate to heaven. Dave Kitto passed away on
10/09/2018.
The
following is his obituary...
DAVID's
Obituary
David Paul
Kitto, Sr., 67 years old, of Fox Lake, IL, passed away Sunday,
October 7, 2018, at Advocate Christ Medical Center, Oak Lawn,
IL, due to complications associated with open heart surgery.
He was born June 2, 1951, in Chicago, IL, and lived most of
his life in the northern Illinois area. Dave was one of a
kind; he lived every day to the fullest and was always up for
anything. He had a passion for golf and live music, and he
traveled extensively around the United States, as well as
several other countries, throughout his life. He loved
traveling so much that upon returning from one adventure, he’d
ask when the next trip was. Dave owned and operated Kitto
Builders for many years, and he truly enjoyed working. He was
a master carpenter and jack-of-all-trades. He held his clients
and associates close to his heart. Dave knew how to have fun
and he was the most caring and patient person ever. His family
meant the world to him and they will miss him dearly.
Survivors
include his wife, Susan (nee Lass); his children, David P.
(Patty) Kitto, Jr of Arlington Heights, IL, Tammy Kitto of
Odessa, FL, and Michele (Ethan) Gill of San Bruno, CA;
siblings, John (Karen) Paz of Flower Mound, TX, Paul (Crystal)
Kitto of Trevor, WI, and Carol (Doug) Smith of Tracy, CA; his
uncle Roger (Betty) Erdman; grandchildren, Deven, Donté,
Kameron, Drayk, and Brittany; a great-granddaughter, Haylee;
numerous nieces and nephews; his father and mother-in-law,
Larry and Barbara Lass; brothers-in-law, Larry (Deniese) Lass,
John (Michelle) Lass, James (Angie) Lass, and Robert Lass;
extended family on his mother’s side; and his dear friend
Sandra Kitto — although they went their separate ways, they
remained lifelong friends and he loved being her secret
football pool partner. Dave was preceded in death by his
parents, Clarence and Louise (Rogers) Kitto, and a niece,
Alyssa Lass.
A memorial
visitation will be held from 11AM-1PM on Sunday, October 28,
2018, at Maravela’s Banquet Hall, 4 Washington Ave., Fox Lake,
IL. A memorial service will commence at 1PM, and immediately
following the service, the family would like to encourage and
invite everyone to stay for a true celebration of Dave’s life
— with a time to tell stories and food and drinks, just as
Dave wanted. Arrangements were entrusted to the STRANG FUNERAL
HOME OF ANTIOCH, 847-395-4000. It was important to Dave that
his grandchildren receive a college education; in lieu of
flowers, please consider a contribution.

I am truly
saddened and shocked to have to report that one of my own
classmates and in fact someone I went to school with from
Kindergarten all the way through high school with has passed
away this morning (07/29/2018).
We were in
Warren Birkett's grade school and junior high band together.
I'm at a total loss. The last time I talked with Ed on the
phone he was so happy. He always seemed to be enjoying life.
This is so sad. Ed or Eddie as we called him in grade school
was always such a nice guy. He always sent me Christmas cards
for probably the last 25 years or so. I know when Christmas
comes there will be something missing. Rest in Peace Ed. You
are remembered and missed.
I want to
than Carole Bell for reaching out to me with this sad news.
