He was then drafted into the Army in 1969. He honorably, stoically, and courageously served in Vietnam in 1970-1971 as a military police officer. In 1970 he married Carolyn Majewski. After his service the couple and son Erik moved to Lutz, FL, where he was hired by the Tampa Fire Department. He rose through the ranks to retire in 1996 as the well-respected Captain “K”. A second son, Kyle, was born in 1976. His first marriage ended in 1982. After retirement David moved to Oregon. In 2000, he married Christine Lundy. The couple bought a historical farmhouse and ran a bed and breakfast, The White House, for many years. David also started a house painting business. They loved traveling abroad and throughout the USA; he visited the Midwest and Cleveland many times. He enjoyed baseball, fishing, hunting, camping, gardening, golf, fast cars, and was a model train enthusiast. He was an avid reader, especially of history, and said that he would have liked to have been a high school history teacher, because he fondly remembered his days at St. Edward’s. He even kept his history classwork all his years. In his retirement he volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, community soup kitchens, Cascade Corvette Club, Northwest Steelheaders, and the VFW. He was a devout Catholic throughout his life. David is survived by his wife, Christine; sons Erik and Kyle; stepson, Tim Sullivan; stepdaughters, Kelly Duncan and Rachel Sullivan; brother, Will Kopachik (Class of 1970); sisters, Dawn Mason and Sheila Vasek.

| Jul 5, 2022 | Deidre Eleanor Boland (b. 16 August 1953) died suddenly and unexpectedly on Tuesday, 7 June 2022. Eldest child of Robert Gould Pratt (deceased) and Marion Patricia Pratt (nee Walker); she was the much-loved sister of Philip (Melina), Christopher (Gayle), and Louise Pratt; she was a very loving aunt to her many nieces and nephews. Beloved friend, companion and wife of nearly 47 years to Gerard Fox Boland of Wangi Wangi (formerly of Bathurst, NSW); cherished mother of Laura Marie Boland (Andrew Liddell) and Daniel Robert Boland (Farida); she was the adored and utterly irreplaceable grandmother to Evie and Florence Liddell of Islington and Harry Boland of Carey Bay. She was the esteemed colleague and admired friend of many in Bathurst and all the localities in which she lived. Private cremation took place at Newcastle Memorial Park, Beresfield Friday, 17 June. She was forthright and rigorously honest. She was kind, tender-hearted and compassionate. She could be astonishingly brave and courageous in an instant. She effortlessly aligned her high intelligence with her well-reasoned moral and ethical principles - for there was no contradiction between her thoughts and her actions. She was unhesitatingly generous. Her sense of humour and her generosity of spirit drew others to her and yet she was low-key and self-effacingly modest even as she always put the needs of others first. She taught us what it means to be truly human. She was the centre of our family. “And even in our sleep,( pain which cannot forget(, falls drop by drop upon the heart,( until in our own despair, (against our will,( comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” [Aeschylus] |

He graduated from St Edward High School, class of ’65, where he excelled in both sports and academics. He attended the University of Pittsburgh, completing an undergraduate degree in 1969. Stationed in Washington D.C. during the Vietnam conflict, Kevin served for two years as an officer in the U.S. Army in photo intelligence. In 1972, Kevin returned to his hometown of Bay. He began post-graduate classes at Cleveland State University to become a teacher of Physical Education but decided instead to start a career with the Bureau of Veteran’s Affairs, from which he retired in 2002. Through thick and thin, he was a loyal life-long fan of the Browns, the Cavs, and the Indians. Kevin met his beloved wife, Sally, through her position at St. Raphael School, where Kevin’s mother, Phyllis, was also a teacher. Phyllis introduced Kevin and Sally; they fell in love, married in 1973, bought a house in Olmsted Township, and built a life with their three children, Eileen, Cat and David. Along the way, the family adopted three cats, each of which delighted and amused Kevin in their own special way. To him, they were part of the family he cherished. Kevin is survived by his wife Sally (nee Briggs); daughters Eileen (Jason) Koler and Catharine (Josh) Hoover, and son David O’Donoghue; grandchildren Alexa and Sienna Koler, Jocelyn and Zachary Hoover, and Kaitlyn O’Donoghue; brother Paul (Mary) O’Donoghue, and sisters Mary (Brian) McKeown and Susan (Tim) Beatty; niece and nephews and their children.

| Jul 5, 2022 | Angela Rose (nee Romweber) Hearty passed away on June 29, 2022. She was born August 15, 1926 in Batesville, IN. Just shy of 96 years, Angela lived an active life full of God, family and friends. Raising ten children, Angela found a need for other activities (escapes) besides attending hundreds of activities and events which her “herd” participated in over the years. She travelled extensively with her husband of 53 years, George J. Hearty. She loved the sun and played golf, tennis and bridge well into her 80s. She volunteered at St. Thomas Hospital, worked as a scorer for the American Golf Classic and World Series of Golf at Firestone CC, and participated in many other opportunities through the Junior League of Akron. When her husband George passed away in 2001, she downsized her living space to enjoy a quieter life in a smaller space only to find that she was still hosting many family get-togethers in her smaller space. She was indeed the “ties that bind.” She will be sorely missed but leaves a legacy unlike any other, and her family will continue to celebrate her until they meet again. Angela was preceded in death by her husband, George; her parents, John Romweber and Anna (nee Aprea) Romweber; sister, Gretchen (Romweber) Lammers; and many of her and George’s beloved friends. She is survived by her sisters, Sophia Gilligan and Theresa (William) Grote; and brother, Anthony (Francis) Romweber; her children, John (Ellen), Gretchen (Jeff) Gibson, Jay (Pamela), Michael, Chris (Nancy), Kevin, Tim, Jeff (Alma), Molly (Scott) Dantio and Stephen (Traci); 20 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. The family would like to express their gratitude to Angela’s caregiver, Brenda, for the compassionate care she provided. The family would also like to thank the staff at the Village of Saint Edward’s. Most especially, the family would like to recognize and thank Ryan & Lydia for the selfless love and care they provided for their “Mayma.” Calling Hours THURSDAY July 7th from 5-7 P.M. at the Billow FAIRLAWN Chapel, 85 N.

| May 31, 2022 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Joe Portale, Class of 1976, brother of Mark, Class of 1983. Please keep the Portale family in your prayers. JOSEPH JAMES PORTALE was born March 16, 1958 in Lakewood, Ohio. He was the son of the late Ross and Dorothy Portale. Joe attended St. Edward's High School and quickly became one of the "greats" of their athletic program, receiving Ohio All-American honors in football and baseball. After graduating in 1976 he continued playing football at the University of Florida while also playing minor league baseball. Joe returned to Ohio to complete his collegiate athletic career under Coach Lee Tressel and to earn his degrees in marketing and finance at Baldwin Wallace. After graduating in 1980, Joe was drafted by the New York Yankees and began his professional baseball career. But, life had other plans for Joe and after only two years with the Yankees he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. While this diagnosis ended his athletic career, it didn't end his zest for life as he pivoted and jumped into many different businesses. Joe became an entrepreneur, investor, father and eventually a grandfather. He lived his life pursuing new opportunities, and was never short of a great idea. He would always encourage others to make their ideas a reality, saying "what are you waiting for?" Joe passed away May 27, 2022 at the age of 64. He would want the world to know that he didn't give up on life - it was just his body that gave up on him. Joe is survived by his children Jessica (Doug), Jenna, and Joey, his grandchildren Will and Sloane, brothers Ross (Rosemary) and Mark (Kimberly) Portale, cousin Patti (Al) Smith, and an aunt, uncle, cousins, nieces, nephews, and too many friends to count, though they all had a special place in his heart.

A graduate of Beaumont School, Carol was a natural athlete with a competitive spirit. A lovely lady with brains, style, and grace. She was a fierce and loyal fan of her Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Guardians (nee Indians). She had a love of nature that she freely shared with others, with an uncanny ability to spot and identify an encyclopedic number of birds, flowers, and trees. Carol spent many wonderful years along the Caloosahatchee River in the company of family and friends in Alva, FL., many of whom have preceded Carol in death and are dearly missed. In her final years, the staff and residents of EnnisCourt surrounded Carol with loving care, dignity, and companionship.

| May 23, 2022 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Clayton Richard Dubbs, son of Greg Dubbs, Class of 1985. Please keep the Dubbs family in your prayers. CLAYTON RICHARD DUBBS was born and immediately dubbed “our favorite child” by Patti and Greg Dubbs in July of 1996. Instantly indoctrinated by the state of Ohio, Clayton became a Cleveland Indians fan at first breath. In ‘97 (at the shiny age of 1) when the Marlins beat the Indians in the World Series, he told his parents “don’t talk to me about the &@$?%# game, okay?” In 2016 when the Cubs beat the Indians in the World Series, well we don’t know where he went but we didn’t see him for weeks. His baseball extremism didn’t stop at fanfare. Every year, for as long as he could hold a bat, he dragged his parents to games in recreational leagues, travel leagues, clubs leagues, AAU leagues, and American Legion leagues. A summer vacation to Cooperstown, New York: a child’s dream realized. He insisted on playing the sport through college - dazzling the Division III baseball world with massive sunglasses. To cap his career, he found himself de facto leader of The Ohio State University’s club baseball team. A ragtag group of alcoholics, burn outs, and some truly genuine men, Clayton found the home baseball was always leading him toward. A savvy, astute, and often reckless sports card collector, the harrowing truths of adulthood forced Clayton to finance his fitness gear addiction with his prized collection. Pawning off a PSA 10 Tom Brady rookie card broke his heart, but made the bank. A dedicated fitness junkie, Clayton lived by one simple philosophy: “your fitness is on loan and the rent is due every day”. His tenure as an Ironman triathlete was brief but shocking, completing a full event (2.4 miles swimming, 112 miles biking, 26.2 miles running… Put down the beer and let that sink in) alongside his best pals in 2020. Clayton’s employment history was varied: personal trainer, fitness coach, gym manager, commission-free nutritionist, begrudging health advisor, and recently a mortgage loan guy. Clayton is survived by his much more handsome younger brother, Victor Dubbs. Additionally he is survived by his parents Patti and Greg. Their constant support, love and care far exceeded anything Clayton deserved. Clayton will be remembered for being hard-nosed, driven, and focused. He quietly accomplished great things in his short life. He really packed it in. Clayton adored his family in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona and he was adored by them. To honor Clayton, we encourage you to refresh with a cool, tall glass of milk alongside your next meal (skip the meat, some of you!) Arrangements by Beinhauer Funeral Home (724-941-3211). Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday at 11 a.m. in St. Catherine Labouré Parish, St. Louise de Marillac Church (everyone please meet at church). A celebration of his life will also be held on Tuesday from 3-7 p.m. in Le Gras Hall. In lieu of flowers, (future) donations may be made to support the completion of the “Clayton R. Dubbs Memorial Muscle Beach” in Upper St. Clair. Seriously. Information forthcoming! |

| May 18, 2022 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Charlie Barrett, Class of 1958; father of Joe, Class of 1979, Andy, Class of 1981, and Patrick, Class of 1984. Please keep the Barrett family in your prayers. CHARLES EDWARD BARRETT— His friends all called him Charlie. Charlie passed peacefully at age 82, Thursday May 12th. He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Marilyn, who he first met in 4th grade at Ascension School in Cleveland. They started dating at age 16. He is also survived by three sons: Joseph, Andrew and Patrick (GleeAnn), grandchildren Michael, Kathryn, Jack, and Charlie, and great-grandchildren Jeremiah and Louisa. He was a 1958 graduate of St. Edward High School, as part of the one of the first graduating classes to spend all 4 years in the now-current school building on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood. Despite uncertain finances at times, he prioritized education for his three sons, all of whom graduated from the same school. Charlie became a union plumber in Cleveland Local 55, and attained journeyman status, continuing his work there for 17 years. He subsequently changed careers, and became a building inspector for the City of Lakewood in the Commercial Division. For a portion of his 30-year tenure with the city, he also served as Building Commissioner. He retired in 2007. After retirement, he continued to indulge his love of animals with his dogs. Marilyn and Charlie had eight faithful canine friends over the course of the last 50 years. Charlie was known for his generosity and commitment as a 49-year member of AA. He was most often recognized for the joy he took in acquiring a varied array of useful and offbeat prizes for raffles at meetings. His time in AA was marked by a determined adherence to the “One Day at a Time” motto of the program. However, he never took himself too seriously. He displayed a frequent ability to tease and joke with friends and family alike. His dry wit kept everyone around him on their toes, laughing. Once he began his job in city government, he was required to wear a dress shirt and tie to work every day, which spurred his love of shoes and ties. He leaves behind an uncountable collection of neckties and all styles of shoes. Looking through his photo albums, one also discovers an affinity for baseball caps. He would regularly cull his collection, keeping only his favorites, making room to acquire more. In fact, one is hard pressed in looking at his photos to find documented evidence that he ever wore the same one twice. He loved music, amassing a CD collection that continued to grow throughout his life thanks to garage sales and thrift stores. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to St. Bonaventure Indian Mission and School of New Mexico, a long-time charity of Charlie’s, as he believed in the importance of the availability of fresh water for everyone. (25 W. Navarre Blvd., Thoreau NM 87323, or https://www.stbonaventuremission.org/) Friends may pay respects at his memorial, Friday May 20th at McGorray-Hanna Funeral Home, 14133 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, Ohio.

| May 16, 2022 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Mrs. Latonya Denise Bell, mother of Jay Cottrell, Class of 2023. Please keep the Bell and Cottrell families in your prayers. LATONYA DENISE BELL was born at University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio on February 8, 1978, to Bridgette Bell and Clark Coe. She left this world and went to be with the Lord on May 1, 2022, at the youthful age of 44. Her daughter Havana Pipkins preceded with her in death. Latonya graduated from Max S. Hayes High School in 1997 and immediately entered the workforce. She held a few jobs immediately after graduation but eventually found her niche when she started working for the City of Cleveland's Division of Water. During her 15 years there she held numerous positions, including her first role as a Junior Clerk. The last role she held before her unexpected death was a C.A.A Credit and Collections Lien Processor. Anyone who knew Tonya knew she was "All about her checks". A saying that followed her not only in life but through her friends on social media. Latonya was blessed with a large and loving family. Her family was her passion. As a loving mother of seven and grandmother of the six she loved to cook and entertain family and friends. Although her runway sense of style and bold personality made her stand out in any environment; it was her ability to empathize with others on a deep personal level, both in joy and in sadness that touched all who knew her. Latonya will be sorely missed by her daughters; London Bell, Paris Fair, Asia Goddard, India Goddard; sons; Walter Goddard IV, Jay Cottrell; grandchildren; Donzell Smith Jr., Cazal Smith, Marquise Spraggins Jr., Ja'Launie Johnson, Ja'Karie Johnson and Jovante Johnson Jr.; mother; Bridgette Bell, father; Clark Coe (Sharon), sisters; Lise Coe, Lynnise Smith, Alyssa Bell; brothers, Cedre Coe, Rayshown Bell, JoVan Moreland; grandmother; Fannie Mae Ivory, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, bonus children, extended family members and friends. |

| May 11, 2022 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Mrs. Maureen Ashdown, wife of Todd, Class of 1988; mother of Ryan, Class of 2016 and Colin, Class of 2023; sister of Tim Isabella, Class of 1988; daughter of Paul "Larry" Isabella, Class of 1963; aunt of Jared Ashdown, Class of 2018; and sister-in-law of Mark Ashdown, Class of 1980. Please keep the Ashdown and Isabella families in your prayers. MAUREEN M. ASHDOWN (Nee Isabella) age 51, devoted wife of 25 years to Todd A.; loving mother of Ryan, Erin and Colin; dear sister of Tim (Dionne), Mary Ellen Nussbaum (Sam), Bridget Currie (Stu), Megan McGough (Ron) and Molly Cruz (Jose); beloved daughter of the late Patricia (nee O’Brien) and Paul L. Jr. “Larry” Isabella; daughter-in-law of Patricia and Clarence Ashdown; loving sister-in-law and aunt to 17. Maureen Margaret Ashdown passed away, peacefully, on May 8th, 2022 in Westlake, Ohio after a courageous battle with cancer. Maureen was 51 years old. Born in Cleveland, Ohio to Patty and Larry Isabella, Maureen was the second of six children and the oldest daughter. Maureen spent her childhood in Cleveland, attending St. Mel Elementary School, St. Joseph Academy, and, as she would joke, "every public college in the State of Ohio." Growing up, she played softball and basketball and was a friend to all. At St. Joseph Academy, she ran cross country and was the MVP of the cross country team her senior year. In high school, she was an active member of the St. Mark Youth group in Cleveland, where she met the love of her life, Todd Ashdown. Maureen was 16 when Todd asked her out on their first date to see "The Secret of My Success" (starring her other high school sweetheart, Michael J. Fox). After the date, they both went home, secretly knowing that this would be the person they would eventually marry. After a long courtship, and many jobs and college experiences for Maureen, the two were married on August 17, 1996. Todd and Maureen were blessed to renew their vows this past year, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. Maureen and Todd's marriage was an example of unconditional love. They supported each other’s goals and dreams, deepening their faith and love for each other over their 35 year relationship. They were truly sole mates. Maureen and Todd joyfully welcomed their firstborn, Ryan in 1997, followed by their daughter, Erin in 2001, and their youngest son, Colin, in 2004. Maureen was called to be a mom. She took immense pride in her children. Maureen instilled in them a deep faith, a love of family, and the importance of friendship. She felt strongly that her role as a parent was to experience each stage with great joy, always looking forward to the future with the hope of raising children who are kind, humble, servants of the Lord. Which they are. She didn't want to keep them young forever, and knew they were a gift from God, meant to be shared with the world. Maureen would do anything for family. She was a devoted daughter, following in her dad's footsteps to become an avid marathon runner. Patty and Larry's example led to Maureen's deep devotion to Mary and her incredible faith in God. She was an incredible sister and always present to her siblings in all situations. Maureen would drop everything to be there for her sisters and brother. She was their advocate, role model, and biggest supporter. Maureen loved her 17 nieces and nephews with all her heart. Often being the first one to show up when a new baby arrived. She was an amazing sister-in-law as well. Maureen loved attending concerts (especially Billy Joel) and spending time with the entire Ashdown family. Maureen was an incredibly loyal friend. She always made everyone feel like they were the most important person in the world. She was a great listener and giver of advice. Maureen loved getting to know people and had a way of making you feel like you've known her your whole life, even if you had just met. Her connections stretched far and wide. If you were a friend of Maureen's, you were a friend for life. To say Maureen loved her job and St. Edward High School would be an understatement. Over the twelve years that she worked at St. Ed's, she touched thousands of lives. Maureen's smile was infectious and she brought a welcoming presence to new students and their families. Her work friends became family and she built deep friendships with so many. Maureen found a home and fulfillment at St. Ed's and embodied what it is to be an Eagle: faith, excellence, relationships, and servant leadership. Maureen's deep faith in God was instilled by her parents and grew stronger throughout her life. Her faith was an inspiration to others and served as her compass, especially during her battle with cancer. Maureen's faith never waivered. She trusted in God's presence and plan. Maureen did not fear death, and although she wished she could've been on this Earth a little longer, rejoiced in the promise of being with our Savior and reunited with her parents.

He was a Resident Assistant at XU, and enjoyed the Cincinnati social scene. He was a frequent guest at the Dana Gardens. In 1962, at a spaghetti dinner, he met Jo Ann Schaefer, a nursing student at the College of Mount St. Joseph. Mr. Callahan graduated with a BS in Economics in 1963, and taught business at Newport Catholic High School, in Newport, Kentucky, for one year. He coached track, and had a lanky sophomore high jumper named Dave Cowens, who would become an NBA Hall of Famer. In 1964, Mr. Callahan entered the management trainee program at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cincinnati. He earned an MBA from the Stonier School of Banking at Rutgers University. On August 8, 1964, Tom and Jo Ann were married at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Delhi Hills, and took up residence in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati. They belonged to St. William parish, and eventually purchased a home at 4346 Ridgeview Avenue. To make ends meet, Mr. Callahan became a basketball official. An avocation which continued for 52 years, and made him a very visible person throughout Ohio. The couple brought forth a daughter, Anne Melanie (Kevin Krol), in 1965, and sons Thomas Joseph, Jr (Patty), in 1967, and John Joseph (Liesl), in 1971. The Callahans had a large extended family on the West Side of Cincinnati, and were members of the Del-Hi Swim Club. In March of 1973, Mr. Callahan accepted a promotion to Assistant Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. The couple purchased a home on Woodward Avenue in Lakewood, Ohio, and joined St. Mark parish. The family welcomed Michael Joseph (Kristyn) after the Blizzard of 1978. Mr. Callahan was a popular youth sports coach in baseball and touch football. He taught fundamentals, and loved gadget plays, such as “the flea flicker” and “the naked reverse.: He was a favorite of kids in the neighborhood, and was the bestower of countless nicknames, such as “Harley,” “Knute,” “Frick & Frack,” “Jimmy the Finger,” and “Stormin’ Norman.” Mr. Callahan supported his children in football, baseball, basketball, swimming, and cross country, and was often seated in a lawn chair at Impett Park, while rooting on the St. Mark Lions. The Callahans were strong proponents of Catholic education, and sent the children to St. Mark’s School, St. Joseph Academy, St. Edward High School, College of Mt. St. Joseph, and John Carroll University, finally relenting in 1996, and allowing Michael to attend The Ohio State University. The Callahans always took time to vacation with friends, and frequented state parks, Hilton Head Island, and eventually purchased a condominium in Naples, Florida. Mr. Callahan loved parades, parties, and games. He was an expert euchre player. He was filled with witticisms and euphemisms, and treated everyone with respect.

He taught night school at Dyke College and Cuyahoga Community College for over 25 years. After 29 years with the Federal Reserve, Mr. Callahan became an officer with Fifth Third Bank of Cleveland, working in Public Funds and building relationships with clients in northeast Ohio.

| Nov 5, 2021 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Dan "Peanuts" McGinty, Class of 1966. Please keep the McGinty family in your prayers. DANIEL "PEANUTS" McGINTY, 73, Devoted son of the late George and Gloria. Dear brother of the late Patrice Kozlowski (Anthony). Loving uncle of Jeff and Thomas (Rachel) Kozlowski. Dear cousin and friend. Passed away October 31, 2021. Peanuts spent his life in the Cleveland music scene, and Rock and Roll was his passion. For more than 40 years, he worked behind the scenes with groups playing in Cleveland, including the great Bruce Springsteen. By his own reckoning, Peanuts has worked at 10,000 Cleveland clubs and 5,000 concerts, including 50 by Springsteen. Groups depended on Peanuts for his knowledge of the local rock scene to develop playlists, set up stage crews, promote the event, secure back-up musicians, and whatever was needed for a successful gig.

| Oct 18, 2021 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Robb Peglar, Class of 1962, brother of Rick, Class of 1963, and the late Tom, Class of 1960, and Dann, Class of 1965. Please keep the Peglar family in your prayers. ROBERT “Robb” KEVIN PEGLAR, one of the world’s greatest optimists who worked as hard as he played, especially on the golf course, died on Oct. 11, 2021. He had battled cancer for seven months. Never one to pass up the opportunity to tell a great story in an animated fashion or tear up the dance floor, Robb was often the life of the party in the best of ways. His zest for life and his smile were contagious. He and his wonderful laughter will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Robb was born on May 1,1944, in Cleveland,Ohio, to Arthur T. Peglar and Margaretta Gaffney, who taught their four sons and daughter that love, storytelling and family are the secrets to a good life. What they didn’t have in money, they made up for in laughter. Robb discovered his talent as a fantastic golfer as a high school student, caddying at Westwood Country Club. After graduating from St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio, he joined the U.S. Air Force, serving in Aviano, Italy, as a medic. His time in Italy spurred on a lifelong passion for Italy, traveling abroad and a career in international business. When he returned to Cleveland, his friend Joe Fitch introduced him to Mary Ann Malone who drove a smart-looking green Triumph Spitfire. He fell completely head over heels in love with her, and they married six months later. With the support of the G.I. Bill, Robb attended Kent State University, crafting the university’s first degree in international marketing. He was in economics class on a warm day on May 4, 1970, when he and his classmates heard shots fired followed by screams through the open windows. The semester ended early that day in what would be known as the Kent State Massacre. Afterwards, Robb and Mary Ann moved to Phoenix for Robb to get his master’s degree in business at what is now known as Thunderbird School of Global Management. They met lifelong friends from all over the world, and Robb mastered a number of languages there. Throughout his life, he could switch from speaking German to Italian to French at the turn of a dime. And he did it with such gusto that no matter whether you were a stranger or friend, you felt his joie de vivre. When Robb took a job with American International Group, he and Mary Ann moved to Hong Kong where they lived with their three daughters for several years. They loved exploring the island, along with various countries in Asia, before they moved to Darien and later Rowayton, Connecticut where they lived for 20-plus years. In Stamford, Robb started his own reinsurance company Peglar & Associates, which was truly one of his life’s passions. When he wasn’t working, Robb and Mary Ann shared their love for travel with their children, bringing them all over the world from the slopes of Colorado to the savannas of Africa. This tradition continued as their family grew over the years, with the addition of seven grandchildren. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his kids and grandchildren, and they loved spending time with him. For the last 27 years, they lived in Jupiter, Fla., for the winters, meeting an incredible community of friends, many of whom were just as passionate about golf as Robb. Robb played golf nearly every day just as energized at the end of the day as the beginning. For 15 summers, Robb and Mary Ann lived in Nantucket where they met dear friends. Fortunately, Mary Ann, along with their good friends, was able to tear him away from the golf course long enough to do fantastic bike tours. What was remarkable was he and Mary Ann took up biking in their late 60s, but that did not stop them from biking across Italy, up Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the Appalachian Mountains, and along the Danube River. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Mary Ann Peglar, three daughters Tori Peglar (Tom) and children (Skylar Rutkowski and Jordan Rutkowski); Lucy Peglar (Ignacio) and children (Delfina Bussy, Sofia Bussy and Felipa Bussy); and Gaffney Peglar Barnett (Dirk) and children (Bodhi Barnett and Max Barnett); his brother Rick Peglar, his sister Pat Egelston, his sister-in-laws Kathy Elmer and Kathy Lehnhard (Bruce) and his numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, two brothers Tom Peglar and Dann Peglar and his niece Chrisi Peglar, all three of whom died of cancer way too young, and his sister-in-law Barbara Peglar. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at www.cff.org in honor of Robb Peglar. You can choose to donate to the local West Palm Beach chapter or a chapter of your choice. A memorial service will be held at a later date. |

He believed the unique combination of “street smarts” and education were important. Later in life he chose to attend the Wharton School for executive training. He met the love of his life Catherine (from County Mayo, Ireland) through relatives and married at St. Malachi Catholic Church, 70+ years ago.

Nothing gave him greater pleasure than walking out on the plant floor or through the office talking with his associates. Always curious to know how they and their families were doing and what suggestions they had for improvements in the organization. He was famous for encouraging people to quit smoking and to be sure their home life was on track. He operated on a motto of trusting his “gut instinct.” He was a risk taker who genuinely believed if you kept the faith, worked hard, made smart decisions, respected one another and stayed the course that amazing things would happen. John was a highly respected man who was a tremendous source of compassion and inspiration to many. Each and every day of his life he acknowledged what a blessing God was to he and his family.

He found great joy in his trips to Heidelberg Germany studying the latest equipment in printing technology. One of his most memorable trips was touring Europe on the Orient Express. John was a legendary, memorable man! One of the most extremely positive, happy and optimistic people you could ever meet. A gifted conversationalist, he collected and forged friendships everywhere he went! There is no doubt that he kissed the Blarney Stone! Throughout his life he attributed his success to his early role models his parents. They provided a solid upbringing focused on faith, family, hard work and assisting others in need. As life evolved he credited his relationship with his wife Catherine for being the strong foundation of his world. His love for her, his seven children, twelve grandchildren, two great grandchildren, his mother, father, sister, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins and countless Arrow family members and business associated never waivered.

He graduated from St. Edwards High School, went on to John Carroll and earned his bachelor’s degree from Cleveland State University. In 1974, John moved his wife and children to Medina so they could attend a special needs program at the Medina County Achievement Center, and so John, who loved the outdoors, would have more space. Medina had it all! It was a wonderful decision, and everyone thrived. At that time, Holy Martyrs Catholic Church was just being established and John and Jean joined as a founding family. John joined Tubbs Insurance Agency and became well known and well received in the community. He ran the business for many years and always spoke with great affection for the people he worked with and so many others that he got to know through his business. He also became very involved with the Special Olympics as well as the extraordinary needs of the special people of Medina County. His genuine words “these are my people” will always be remembered. He loved them and they loved him in return. The staff there were incredible and contributed to making his children the wonderful adults they are today. The family would like to thank the Cleveland Clinic Hospice of Fairlawn for their care and compassion for John, bringing much needed peace and comfort – you will never be forgotten. And, much gratitude to all their family, friends and neighbors for their support and love on his very long journey. A visitation will be held for John on Sunday, May 16, 2021, from 2-4pm at Waite & Son Funeral Home (765 N. Court Street in Medina). A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, May 17, 2021 at 10:00 am at Holy Martyrs Catholic Church located at 3100 Old Weymouth Road in Medina, OH. The family will hold a private graveside service at Resurrection Cemetery in the near future In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made in John’s memory to Special Olympics of Medina County (4691 Windfall Rd, Medina, OH 44256).

| Apr 20, 2021 | Dear Alumni: We were just notified of the passing of Tom O'Malley, Sr., Class of 1953, on Nov. 27, 2020. Please keep the O'Malley family in your prayers. THOMAS PATRICK O'MALLEY, SR., age 85, died peacefully on 11/27/2020 at Whispering Pines Assisted Living Center under the care of Ascension at Home Hospice Services. Tom was born on March 6, 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio to Evelyn (Kramer) and Thomas A. O’Malley. He graduated from Notre Dame University in 1957 and Loyola Medical School in 1961. He met his wife, MaryAnn Siedlecki, while completing his medical training and they were married on October 8, 1960. Shortly after completing specialty training in Ophthalmology, Tom joined the U.S. Army and served as an ophthalmologist in the middle-1960s, stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. Tom, MaryAnn and their five children then moved to Stevens Point where he joined the Rice Clinic, becoming Stevens Point’s first ophthalmologist. He retired from full-time medical practice in 2000. In the mid-1970s, Tom co-founded and served as the first president of the local Community Theatre. He also enjoyed golf, tennis, skiing, cooking, music, stained glass art, as well as building and racing miniature sailboats. The real value for Tom in all his hobbies was in the friendships they created. He is preceded in death by his wife MaryAnn; his parents; a sister, Kathy Hoole; a son, Christopher; and a daughter, Megan. He is survived by a sister, Carole (Jack) Pompeii of Lorain, OH; a son Thomas Jr (Lynn) of Stevens Point, WI; two daughters, MaryBeth (David) Graber of Wayne, NE and Maureen (Michael Covino) of Chatham, NJ; six grandchildren; and his very special friend, Jane Boehm of Waupaca, WI. As much as Tom enjoyed a good party, as a local physician he would be bothered by the idea of family and friends gathering on his behalf during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, no services will be scheduled at this time. Please take a moment to remember Tom and celebrate his remarkable life, and your part in it, in any way that seems right to you from the safety of your own homes. His family feels, and is grateful for, your love and support. We look forward to gathering to celebrate his life at such time as it can be done safely. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Ascension Saint Michael’s Foundation or a charity of your choice. His family wishes to give sincere thanks to all his caregivers including Dr. Teri Hahn and her staff, Ascension at Home Hospice, and Whispering Pines. Your care, empathy and compassion have been absolutely exemplary and no words can adequately convey our gratitude. “No sun outlasts the sunset, but it will rise again and bring the dawn.” - M. Angelou “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” - W. Shakespeare |

To know Jack, or Ohly as he was known to his friends, was to feel the warmth of his smile and the sweetness in his heart. He naturally lit up any room with his contagious and undeniable personality. Confident yet self-deprecating, ambitious yet compassionate, tough yet gentle, and perhaps most of all, fiercely loyal to his friends and family. Jack grew up a proud Pirate in Rocky River, OH where he loved competing on the high school gridiron. From an early age, he seemed to excel at most adventures including rock climbing, snowboarding, skateboarding and guitar. He was an avid sports enthusiast and a lifelong fan of all the Cleveland-area professional sports teams, the Browns first among them. Jack began pursuing his career after high school as a budding part-time entrepreneur while also working at a digital marketing firm. Jack never seemed to have an idle moment, always on the go, and usually absorbing a podcast ranging from business to philosophy. Jack's family extends its heartful thanks to anyone who ever loved or cared for him during his life. Although we lost him too soon, we will be forever grateful for the beautiful time we had together. And knowing Jack, he would want us to truly celebrate his life rather than mourn his death. Please take special care of yourselves, and, each other.

Please keep the McBride and MacMillan families in your prayers. THOMAS OWEN McBRIDE died peacefully at home on April 6. Loving and devoted husband of Helen (deceased) and fun father of Michael (Nancy Scarcella), Patrick (Jean, nee Flaherty), Martin (Mary, nee Walton), Owen (Dr. Nancy, nee Riley), Kate (Joseph McCusker), Molly Steen (Paul, deceased) and Tim (Kate, nee Schmotzer), grandfather of Allison (Jordan Alter), Erin (Mark Ventura), Mike, Aidan, Abigail, Annie, Megan, Alec, Dan, Lucy, Thomas, Jack, Lee, Charlie, Dodge, Maggie, Annabelle, Brendan, Will, Dez and Tony and great-grandfather of Mark and Jackson. Brother of Charles, Joseph, Annabelle, Maureen, John and Jerry (all deceased). Brother-in-law to Charles MacMillan (Rose deceased), Doreen, Winnie, Marie, Tom McGinty, Fred Kramer (all deceased) Nancy McBride and Beverly McBride. And as you might have guessed with all those siblings and in-laws, Tom was the proud uncle and great-uncle of many. Tom was born to Irish immigrants (the late Annie McLernon and Patrick McBride) on East 69th Street in Cleveland's Hough neighborhood, attended St. Agnes Grade School, rode the street car to Holy Name High School (1948), served in the US Air Force (1949), graduated from John Carroll University (1955) and Kent State University (1970). Tom loved his wife, Toots, fully and daily. He was a fun-loving prankster and engaged dad, an educator and principal in the Cleveland Public School System, a grass-roots community activist and Lakewood City councilman committed to a fairer and more just world, who loved all things in nature, but definitely wildflowers on the Ridge most of all. He was always positive, greeted each new day with energy and visible joy. Whether on the campaign trail, the abandoned road at the Farm, the Lake porch or in a car packed with seven rambunctious kids (and whomever else he and Helen had invited on the vacation) Tom was 100% present. Tom led an active Christian infused, Cursillo renewed life praying daily. He lovingly and consistently reached out to others in need, inviting them into his life, his heart, and his home. Funeral Mass will be held at St. Malachi Church (West 25th St. and Detroit Ave.) Thursday, April 15 at noon and will be live streamed: http://tinyurl.com/ThomasMcBride.

| Apr 10, 2021 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Mrs. Elaine Brandt, mother of Mark, Class of 1981, and grandmother of Henry Brandt, Class of 2016. Please keep the Brandt family in your prayers. ELAINE M. BRANDT, 88, died April 6, 2021. Elaine was preceded in death by her lifelong husband Richard, her parents, and brother Lloyd. She is survived by her brothers, Jack and Steve, sisters, Joanne and Cheryl; her five children, Ted (Elizabeth), David (Marcia), Amy Boren (Marvin), Mark (Kathryn), and Lisa Maharry (John); grandchildren, Patrick, Molly, Benjamin, Christopher, Heather, Lauren, Allison, Bethany, Jillian, Mary Grace, Henry, Katie, Lauren, Carson, Joseph, Aaron, and Sophie; and seven great-grandchildren. A special thank you to her foster child and caretaker Michele Ricker. Elaine grew up in rural upstate New York and attended a one-room schoolhouse. She skipped two grades due to being the only one in the school that year and found herself a 16-year-old college student at Plattsburgh State Teacher College. She was a social butterfly who never met a stranger who didn't become a friend. Pursuing a career in teaching was interrupted in raising her five children and supporting her husband's business Freeland-Brandt Real Estate in Rocky River, Ohio. When she went back to Kent State University in 1970, it continued her pursuit of lifelong learning and pursuance of both a master's degree and eventually doctorate equivalency in Special Education. She taught at Horace Mann Middle School where most of her children attended as well. Upon retirement, she became an advisor to student teachers at Cleveland State University, where she traveled to schools throughout the region to help the student teachers and pass on her knowledge. She used her earnings from CSU to see the world and traveled extensively with friends to China, South Africa, Israel, Argentina, Vietnam, and many countries in Europe. These destinations often served as the theme for her heavily anticipated holiday cards each year. Elaine was active in the Cleveland and Lakewood Garden Club and loved anything that she could get to grow in her heavily wooded Clifton Park yard. Fortunately, the house came with a greenhouse where she raised orchids that supplied corsages to many high school dances. She was an avid reader right up to her final days consuming three books in her final week. She was a beloved member of the Clytean Women's Book Club. She played tennis at the Clifton Beach, Racquet Club West, River Oaks, and The Tennis Club. She was a passionate quilter and a member of many clubs. She loved her summer trips to upstate New York and Canada with her siblings on the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Elaine was kind, generous, interesting, friendly, loving, and fiercely independent. Her stature of 5 feet masked the giant personality that made so many of her friends turn into lifelong friends. It was her choice to spend her final winter in Palm Springs, California with the sun coming over the mountains into her bedroom preparing her for her journey to God where she certainly believed was the next destination on her itinerary. Elaine was the brightest light and was loved by so many. Funeral Mass St. Christopher Church 20141 Detroit Rd. Wednesday, April 14 at 12:30 p.m. where seating will be limited.

| Mar 25, 2021 | Dear Alumni: Below is a letter written in memory of Mrs. Pamela Savoy by her sons Eddie, Class of 2018, and Matt, Class of 2020. Mrs. Savoy was significantly involved as a parent in the performing arts program and track and field at St. Ed's. Her obituary is also included. Please keep the Savoy family in your prayers. On March 21, 2021, at 3:40 p.m. Pamela Savoy passed away at OSU's James Cancer Hospital Solove Research Institute after an incredible two-year battle with Cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the bile duct. Her decision to remain quiet about her diagnosis stemmed from her love for other people and her unimaginable pride in herself. There was absolutely no chance that she was going to be labeled a martyr, and she was going to fight with every ounce of strength on her own terms. If you ever had the opportunity to meet Pam, then you knew that she was one of the most resolute, charismatic, intelligent, and driven people that you may have ever encountered, and couldn't help but have a positive effect in nearly every aspect of her work and personal life. She so much valued her success and experience in the pharmaceutical industry, but even more so cherished the values that St. Ed’s has instilled in her two boys Eddie and Matt. She so recognized the structure and support that molded her two children into the men that they are now, and letting go of her family was the most difficult decision she ever had to make in her life. However, it is important to remember that her ability to strive and maintain faith during this period of life is the greatest victory that can ever be achieved, and we have the utmost respect for her perseverance. The most important aspect of Pam was that she was resilient and strong. Incomprehensibly strong both physically and emotionally, and a fighter in every single aspect of her life. Saying goodbye to such a woman is the most difficult thing we have ever had to do, and we feel so lost now at the moment without her guidance. However, we are so appreciative for the inspiration and happiness that we have been able to draw vicariously, and will continue to live out her legacy through our lives. Mom, we are so thankful that you are finally at peace. We love you and cannot wait to see you again. Eddie & Matt Obituary: PAMELA FALK SAVOY passed away peacefully on March 21, 2021, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. She was loved and adored by her family and friends. Pam was born on July 15, 1968 to Edward and Marilyn Falk. She grew up in West Caldwell, NJ where she attended James Caldwell High School, and graduated Rutgers University where she met the love of her life, Joseph Savoy, while receiving a degree in nutrition. This love brought her to Cleveland, Ohio where she earned her degree in Dietetics and Nutrition at Case Western Reserve University. She made her home in Elyria, Ohio for the past 26 years. Pam had a wide range of interests. She was adventurous and passionate about traveling, cooking, and reading. But most importantly, she was passionate about her family. Pam faced her cancer diagnosis with fortitude, bravery, and pure positivity- much as she lived life. She attacked the disease from every angle and fought so hard for her family, and her ability to strive and maintain faith during this period of life is the greatest victory that can ever be achieved. Pamela is survived by her parents Edward and Marilyn Falk of Sarasota, Florida and Point Pleasant, NJ. Her husband Joseph Savoy, her adored children Eddie and Matt Savoy, her sister Susan Kappock and John of Rockaway, NJ and their two daughters Katie and Kelly and son, Christopher, her mother-in-law, Maggie Savoy, and the late Jerome Savoy of Elyria, Ohio, sister-in-law Wendy Bell and husband Gregg Bell, and their two children Sarah and Eric.

| Jan 27, 2021 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Fr. James Lewis, SJ, Class of 1954. Please keep the Lewis family in your prayers. FR. JAMES V. LEWIS, SJ, age 85, born Dec 22, 1935, passed away Jan 14, 2021. A Jesuit for over 60 years. He was born in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. He is the son of the late Joseph and Marie (nee Barrett) Lewis. He is survived by a sister, Ellen Rose Zoller and many nieces and nephews. He died at Colombiere Center in Clarkston, Michigan. Jim grew up in Cleveland, after his family moved there in the early 1940s. After two years at Case Institute of Technology (now Case Western University), he entered the Detroit Province of the Society of Jesus at Milford Novitiate on August 8, 1956. Jim was ordained on May 30, 1969. During Regency, Jim taught English and Math at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland (1963-1966). He returned to St. Ignatius after ordination and taught Math and Theology for 8 years. In 1978, Fr. Jim became the rector of the St. John's Jesuit community in Toledo and taught Math and Theology in the high school. After a well-earned sabbatical (1984-1985), the 50-year-old Jim decided that high school teaching was for younger people and decided to focus his energies on pastoral and spiritual ministries. He was associate pastor at Gesu Church in Toledo (1985-1989) before working at Jesuit Renewal House in Parma/Cleveland for two years. In 1991, Jim returned to St. Ignatius where he was a student counselor and faculty chaplain (1991-2002). While at St. Ignatius, he also established and was director of the Spirituality Program for Adults (SPA), a very successful program which actively recruits faculty, staff, parents and friends to experience the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The purpose of SPA is to familiarize lay people with the type of spirituality and prayer that St. Ignatius Loyola spent his lifetime developing and which resulted in the Spiritual Exercises. In 2010, Fr. Jim was missioned to Colombiere Center to care for his health. Fr. Jim was a devoted priest who loved Christ and the Society of Jesus. He enjoyed life, almost always wore a smile on his face, and frequently kidded people. Not only would he kid others, but he enjoyed being kidded by others. For example, when he was teaching English, Jesuits in his community would kid Jim for teaching books that he had never read. Also, many Jesuits at St. Ignatius High School kidded Jim -- who graduated from St. Edward High School, a rival to St. Ignatius -- that he did not graduate from the "correct" high school in Cleveland, but at least he was working in the "right" school now. A Funeral Mass and burial will be held privately at Colombiere Center in Clarkston, MI. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, attendance at the Vigil and Funeral Mass is private and can only be attended by members of the Colombiere community.

Richard was a daily Mass attendee, head usher and ran Friday Holy Hour at St Brendan Parish for many years. He ushered at St Jude Church in Elyria and was a Eucharistic Minister taking Communion to the sick at Elyria hospital.

| Jan 25, 2021 | Dear St. Edward Community: Last week, the St. Edward community lost another iconic teacher. Jim Nieberding passed away peacefully at home. As Matt Wallenhorst ‘05 noted, “If we had a Mt. Rushmore of St. Edward teachers, Mr. Nieberding would be on it! Jim began his long career at St. Ed's in 1955 and served as a mighty presence until his retirement in 2000. As older alumni will remember, Jim was a social studies teacher with a passion for teaching and a fierce love of our country. I can attest to the number of times Jim was remembered fondly by St. Edward alums when we would do events across the country. As tributes to Jim and his impact on generations of St. Edward students come in, here are a few: John Curran,’75 wrote, “Jim Nieberding was a forceful presence and influence on all of us at St. Ed’s throughout the 70’s and 80’s – and beyond. One of our great educators and role models, he helped create the culture of servant leadership we all work so hard to nurture and strengthen today." John Mc Caffrey ’79 added, “Because of Mr. Nieberding, I never missed voting in an election when I came of age. He used to tell us, 'You are a nameless, faceless citizen in this country unless you vote.'” Greg Elinsky ‘82 remembered Jim’s influence and another of his memorable lines, “We are lucky to have such high-quality educators who are fully committed and care. One of Mr. Nieberding’s (fondly referred to as Niebo) consummate lines, 'Have a problem, Mr. (add student name)? SOLVE IT!'" When I think of Jim, I think about the great words from the Holy Cross Constitutions, “The footsteps of those men who called us to walk in their company left deep prints, as if men carrying burdens. But they did not trudge; they strode. For they had the hope. It is the Lord calling us, “Come, Follow me.” (8:122-3) Jim Nieberding strode through our halls for almost five decades as a man of hope. We are all the beneficiaries of his grace. Jim willingly answered God’s call to, “Come Follow me.” And the Lord has now called Jim home. As Eileen Wallenhorst told her son Matt upon learning of Jim’s death, “The two Jim’s are probably up in Heaven comparing notes.” Jim Nieberding left an indelible mark on St. Edward High School. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant. Please keep Jim’s wife, Alberta, and the Nieberding family in your prayers.

(Renée), and Catherine Martis (Michael); dear and beloved grandpa to Matthew, Maria, Grace, Bridget, Katie, Danny and Stephen; brother to William (Mary Ellen) (both-deceased) and John Joseph “Joe” (Nancy-deceased). “Mr. Nieberding” was a positive influence and exemplary role model for countless young men (including his two sons) at Saint Edward High School, where he taught for almost half a century. The passion for educating young minds was Jim’s vocation, especially in the areas of U.S. history, social studies, Latin, Greek, and the Catholic faith. His life was one lived in service to others. Jim served as a medic in the U.S. Army. His influence as teacher extended well beyond the classroom. Jim loved his grandchildren dearly and, as they will attest, he never stopped teaching as they became his student body after retirement. He passed away peacefully at home of natural causes surrounded by family, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. Funeral Mass, St. Angela Merici Church (20970 Lorain Rd., Fairview Park) Tuesday, Jan. 26th at 10 am. Interment Holy Cross.

| Nov 18, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Gregg Findlay, Class of 1968, and brother-in-law of Mike Foley, Class of 1972. Please keep the Findlay and Foley families in your prayers. GREGORY G. FINDLAY (Gregg), 70, of Dayton, Ohio. Loving, devoted husband of 47 years to his high school sweetheart Virginia "Ginni" (nee Foley) and enthusiastic and dedicated father to daughters Kristina (Raj) Goel and Lara (Jason) Rawe. One of Gregg's favorite roles in life was that of "Pop" to grandson Devan Goel and granddaughter Hayden Rawe, both of whom cherished him dearly. Gregg died of complications associated with pancreatic cancer, a diagnosis and disease he courageously confronted with his signature mix of humor, honesty and dignity. Gregg is preceded in death by his beloved parents George and Lois Findlay, his in-laws George and Virginia Foley and his nephew Christopher Foley. Gregg is survived by sister Rebecca (John) Stafford, brothers-in-law Eugene Foley (Inga Duktig) and Michael (Dianna) Foley and sisters-in-law Marilyn (Scott) Stephen and Laura Foley (Dan Collins) as well as nine nieces and nephews and four grandnephews. Gregg never met a stranger. His friends all thought they were his dearest, his acquaintances thought they were his friends – and they were all correct. Being with Gregg was fun and joyful. He gave his full attention to a conversation. He told an epic story … and had many stories to tell, having grown up as the son of a U.S. Navy Commander, Gregg and his sister Becky travelled and lived around the world with their parents, from Las Vegas, to Sasebo, Japan, and from Watford, England to Cleveland. He retired after 35 years of service to Montgomery County. A career public servant, he prided himself on building relationships, solving problems, and making life easier for colleagues and the public. Near the end of his career, Gregg was awarded a prestigious public service award from the Dayton Trial Lawyers Association. In retirement, his favorite way to spend the day was with his wife Ginni, making his "beautiful bride" laugh. Their love story was his dearest legacy. Gregg and Ginni were 40-year residents of Oakwood. A proud two-time University of Dayton graduate, Gregg loved cheering for the Flyers. He loved the game of golf, the lessons the game could teach him and the friends he made on the course, especially in the Doc Wright Golf League. He loved a good road trip – some of them ambitious -- and was passionate about history and music. He was also a man of faith, feeling connected through Catholicism to the presence of a guiding and holy spirit in his life. Gregg described his life as a series of miracles and was flooded with gratitude for what he described as "the whole movie" when facing the end of his life. It was Gregg who set the tone in the final months for what his family called an extended celebration of him and their life together. Gregg requested the family delay a memorial service until his friends and family can come together safely, therefore a gathering in his honor will occur in 2021. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to one of the causes closest to Gregg's heart: Water.org or Feeding America. |

| Nov 4, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Thomas A. Lorbach, father of Josh, Class of 2007, and Jacob, Class of 2011, a current assistant basketball coach at St. Ed's. Please keep the Lorbach family in your prayers. THOMAS A. LORBACH, 57, of Elyria passed away peacefully in the early hours of Sunday, November 1, 2020, while surrounded by family, following a long and courageous battle against cancer, Thom was born January 11th, 1963,in Elyria to the late Jerry and Jacqueline (nee Sharp) Lorbach. After graduating from Elyria High School, he struck out into the world by enlisting in the United States Army, proudly serving our country while stationed at Fort Bliss, Fort Bragg, and abroad in Würzburg, Germany, during the Cold War. His true calling, however, was a career as a firefighter with the Lorain Fire Department. He cherished the brotherhood of the profession and made many lifelong friends before retiring as a Lieutenant following nearly 30 years of service. He was a caring person, traveling and spending six weeks along the Gulf Coast with groups of other firefighters helping Hurricane Katrina victims in Louisiana and Alabama immediately following the hurricane’s devastating destruction. His generosity and reliability made him an excellent role model to his sons and countless other youth. He had a knack for dispensing sage wisdom, a quality that will be missed dearly by many. Outside of professional life, he pursued diverse opportunities for community involvement and leadership. He coached Little League baseball for over 10 years, along with several years coaching GESA soccer. He was actively involved with scouting and served as a Tiger and Cub Scouts leader, including a stint as Popcorn Kernel, with St. Jude Church Troop 133. He was a United Polish Club member for 30 years. Thom’s personal interests were diverse and included gardening, beer brewing and winemaking, hunting, cooking, and barbecuing. He was also an avid reader and visited multiple Presidential libraries, his favorite being the Ronald Reagan Library. He enjoyed all sporting events at St. Jude’s and St. Edward High School, where his two sons, Joshua and Jacob, attended and graduated. He became a diehard Ohio State basketball fan while attending home and away Buckeye’s basketball games to cheer on his son Jacob, a former member of the Ohio State men’s team (2012-2016). He was well traveled and visited Los Angeles; Boston for July 4th festivities; the Kentucky Bourbon Trail; Graceland; the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville; New Orleans; New York City; Sedona, AZ; and the Hoover Dam. One of his favorite cities was San Francisco and he went there many times; he was proud to walk the Golden State Bridge and much of the city. One of his favorite trips was taking Dan Nixon out west to celebrate his 75th birthday, visiting Mt. Rushmore, Devils Tower National Monument, Badlands National Park, Minuteman Missile Sites, Deadwood, and the Crazy Horse Memorial. He took an annual trip to Las Vegas with his friends and could usually be found somewhere on Fremont Street playing Blackjack, Texas Hold ‘em, or Craps. He also enjoyed global travels including Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Germany, Geneva, Florence, Rome, and Milan. One of his favorite trips was to London, England, where he spent time with the London Fire Brigade at their stations and on a fireboat on the River Thames. Thom found his paradise in Hawaii, where he enjoyed sunsets in Maui, Kauai, and Oahu. He visited Pearl Harbor three times, eager to learn more about the memorial each time. He trekked to witness countless morning sunrises on Mt. Haleakala. He enjoyed routine family vacations in the Outer Banks, as well as Hilton Head Island, Marco’s Island, Dominican Republic, Cancun, Riviera May, and Caribbean island cruises. He especially liked trips that included extended family members staying together in big houses, mostly because he loved cooking and grilling outside for everyone. His love of cooking for others eventually led to hosting an annual clambake he dubbed ‘Tommystock’ each October. Thomas is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Jennifer (nee Yarish) Lorbach; sons, Jacob and Joshua (Sarah); brothers, Michael (Rebecca) and David (Tammy); niece, Jessica (Robert) Gill, and nephew, Geoff (Kelly); parents-in-law, Dan and Jeanne (nee Pileski) Nixon; sisters-in-law, Missy (John) Brown, Jessica Basinski, Rebecca Bowen, and Kearsten (Bradley) Stevanus; and many more nieces and nephews.

Greg was a great husband and father, an awesome grandfather, and a mentor to many. If you were to ask anyone that knew him what they remembered the most about Greg, most would say that it was his sense of humor, as he did his best to make light of many a situation. He loved his Browns, Indians, Broncos, and Rockies, but most of all he loved his family, taking every opportunity to spend time with his kids and grandkids. Greg was born on October 28, 1947, to Robert and Irene Stephen in Cleveland, OH.

Upon earning his degree, Greg joined the United States Air Force as a Cartographer during the Vietnam War from 1970 to 1973, achieving the rank of Sergeant. In 1972, he met the love of his life, Kathryn Ruth Seibert. They traveled the country with the Air Force and eventually settled down in central Missouri. Greg served as an Accountant for several companies but felt a greater calling to head west, and in 1989 moved his family to Grand Junction where he spent the next 31 years. Greg was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Kathy; brothers, Gary (Gerry), Carl (Juliann), and Timothy (Cynthia); children, Bryan (Cheri), Scott (Andrea), and Brett (Ashley) of Grand Junction; Lindsay of Brooklyn, NY, and grandchildren, David (Callista), Alexander, Preston, Julia, Kate, and Sydney.

Alberta was a charter member of the greatest generation, Alberta learned about faith, courage, perseverance, and the value of hard work from her parents, who having lost so much in the Great Depression, worked tirelessly to provide for their three children, while still managing to leave a plate for the jobless and nameless men who found the way to their back porch. As this beautiful prom queen sat with her friends in the theatre celebrating her sixteenth birthday, an officer appeared on stage and instructed all soldiers to report to their headquarters; World War II had begun. Not one to cower in the face of danger, Alberta responded by joining the Army to train as a nurse. She excelled in her field, becoming Directress of Student Nursing at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. After the war, Alberta and her husband, recognizing the possibilities set before them, gave themselves to the building of a family business, Joyce Buick, GMC., still thriving today under the leadership of her sons. All the while, raising her brood of five to respect and honor the qualities she learned from her own parents and equipping each with the education, discipline, and faith to find their own American dream. For decade after decade, Alberta cherished and was cherished by a circle of friends that golfed, gardened, giggled, and played bridge together. A civic minded woman, she served on many boards, including the Fairview Hospital Women's Board and the Bay Village Nature Center. She was actively interested in politics, and was, no doubt, a frequent flyer in the Congressional mailroom. As a lifetime learner, she enrolled in at least one continuing education course every year well into her eighth decade, and traveled extensively through Europe and Asia with her daughters and grandchildren. Alberta adored the arts and regularly attended performances by The Cleveland Orchestra, The Cleveland Ballet, and The Cleveland Playhouse, as well as volunteering at The Cleveland Art Museum. In all these things, she was gracious, pleasant, and honorable. Arrangements by CHAMBERS FUNERAL HOME of NORTH OLMSTED (216) 251-6566. www.chambersfuneral.com |

Please keep the Witt and Stuart families in your prayers. ROBERT REILLY “BOB” WITT, JR. of Miami, Florida, passed away from a battle with cancer on August 25, 2020 at age 64. Bob was a loving and devoted husband and father, and was known for being an avid fan of Neil Young, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and the Cleveland Indians. Bob is survived by his wife Christine Louise Witt (ne Stromberg), his son John-Paul Reilly Witt & daughter-in-law Chelsea Ann Witt (ne Atkins), and his sisters Barbara Cicerchi (Richard), Peggy Stuart (Richard), Carol Wilms (Terry), and Cathy Witt (Joe Skerl), his sister-in-law Aggie Mahoney (Brian, deceased), nephew Sean Mahoney, friend Shaul Apelker, and many more devoted nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Robert Reilly Witt, Sr., and Jane Elizabeth Sattler, his brother James Patrick Witt, his paternal grandparents Edward Francis Witt and Katherine Lucina Reilly, and his maternal grandparents Florian Adam Sattler and Mary Cecelia Mathews. Bob was born in 1956 in Akron, Ohio, but spent his youth in Fairview Park and Cleveland, Ohio, where he was a proud 1974 alumnus of St. Edward High School. His classmates recall him as a devoted and selfless friend who was dedicated to the school and sports. He later matriculated to Ohio State University, studying political science. Bob met the love of his life, Christine, while working at Halle's Department Store in Rocky River, Ohio, at age 18; they were known as the "Halle's couple." After Chris' family moved to New Jersey, Bob would hitchhike to see her until they were married in 1980. Bob & Chris were together for 46 years and celebrated 40 years of marriage on March 15, 2020. After college, they moved to Destin, and then Miami, Florida, where they celebrated the birth of their son John-Paul in 1987. Being a devoted father, from making lunches to always taking his son to school and picking him up, was the most important thing in Bob's life.

Bob invested many years into connecting with Marines who served in Delta Co., 1st Bat., 7th Marines, the unit where his brother Jimmy was killed in action in 1969 in Vietnam. Helping to put together his brother's 50th anniversary memorial service at Fairview Park City Hall in 2019 was one of the highlights of Bob's life. Bob also volunteered at Jack D. Gordon elementary school in Miami, remembered by many students for teaching chess and coaching little-league baseball with the Optimist Club. He was a devoted member of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Miami, teaching Confirmation classes to teens for many years and being an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament at 3AM on Tuesday mornings. Later in life, Bob was instrumental in the success of Chris' business, Just Mine Creations. Bob traveled to fairs and festivals selling jewelry throughout Florida as well as the Dublin, Ohio Irish Festival, and other festivals up and down the east coast of the United States. He is remembered by friends and customers for having a "heart bigger than his body." Bob touched many lives with his kindness and affection, helping friends and even people he just met for a moment feel appreciated and listened to. The gift of his loving companionship is something that his family and friends will always treasure. He taught his son to befriend and be kind to everyone, "from a pauper to the Pope." A Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Miami, Florida, on September 19, 2020 at 11:30am, and a Memorial Mass will be held at 10am on March 13th, 2021, at St. Angela Merici Parish 20970 Lorain Rd.

| Aug 19, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Robert James Greene, Class of 1955. Please keep the Greene family in your prayers. Robert J. Greene, age 83, passed away gently at St. Mary’s Home at Felician Village after a prolonged journey with Alzheimer’s Disease. Bob was born on November 20, 1937 in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the eldest child of Gardner Anthony and Catherine Mary (Noice) Greene. Bob attended St. Edward High School. He continued his education at Xavier University where he met his future wife Judy and lifelong friends Eileen and Dick Funk. On August 30, 1958 he married Judith A. Morthorst at St. Gregory’s Catholic Church in San Mateo, CA. She preceded him in death in 2016. Bob worked for Sears Roebuck and Company for most of his three plus decade career, travelling frequently to China, Hong Kong, and Singapore in his role as a senior merchandise buyer. These trips in the 1970’s opened his eyes and heart to diverse cultures and people. Bob was a real do-it-yourselfer and loved working side-by side with his kids on a wide variety of projects, from tiling a hallway to building model rockets and engineering some of the fastest pinewood derby cars in boy scout history. He also enjoyed fishing, camping, canoeing, family events, reading, painting and importantly, the Chicago Bears. His inquisitive, can-do approach to life led to his finding a way to fix just about any problem “somehow”. Even after retiring to his home on Bear Lake in Wisconsin, Bob’s zest for life led to his taking a job as the conductor of the Lumberjack Steam Train in the nearby town of Laona. He had such fun and joy serving as a train conductor, it’s not surprising that years later while living at the nursing home, one could often hear Bob yell out “All Aboard!”. Bob is survived by his four children: Katherine (John), Margaret (George), Bob (Patty), and Thomas (Suzanne). He was an extraordinary father who taught his children to love and to “be kind” to all. His five grandchildren, Elizabeth, Kate (Jonathan and Harrison), Christina, Sarah, and Katie, loved their “Pa” and brought much joy and love to his life. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gardner and Catherine Greene and two brothers, Charles and Thomas Greene. Bob was a man of great heart. His deep sense of caring and the warmth of his presence were tremendous gifts for all those who were fortunate to know him. He loved doing things with and for others. The final and greatest challenge of Bob’s life came slowly in the disease of Alzheimer’s. He faced this disease courageously; with strength, dignity, humility and love to all. Abundant grace flowed through him in his final years. He lived his life knowing God and his family, guided always by kindness and love. Bob will be greatly missed and warmly remembered. As one of his last acts of service, he donated his brain to Alzheimer’s Disease research with the fervent hope to contribute to a treatment. A Life Celebration Social for relatives and friends is tentatively being scheduled for the summer of 2021. An announcement will be made in the Herald Times Reporter prior to the Life Celebration Social. Sympathy cards and memorials may be sent to Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home, 628 N.

| Aug 3, 2020 | Dear Alumni: We were just notified of the passing of Dan Koch, Class of 1963, on May 12, 2020. Please keep the Koch family in your prayers. DANIEL RICHARD KOCH, who died in Rocky River, OH on May 12 from heart failure at the age of 75, was a decorated officer, an Army Captain and Bronze Star recipient, who admirably served his country during the Vietnam War. To his family and friends, though, Dan's storied life encompassed achievements and goodwill across many personal and professional avenues. Although he was a natural storyteller-one who could regale his listeners with enumerable tales of serving in a war zone or humorous anecdotes of everyday life in Ohio-what none of us ever heard him discuss were his own successes, which were many. Dan was born in Lakewood, Ohio, on February 28, 1945. He graduated from St. Edward High School in 1963 and then earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Kent State University in 1967. Although he had been accepted to enroll the next year at the United States Military Academy (West Point), he chose to immediately participate in Kent State's Army ROTC program, from which he graduated at the top of his class, a feat that catapulted him into a position as a commissioned officer (2nd Lieutenant) in the Air Defense Artillery. In 1969, during the Vietnam War, he was promoted to the rank of Captain. After the war, he returned to Kent State, studying to become a medical technologist. His career in the medical field led him to Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital, working first in the blood bank before being promoted to Supervisor in Hematology. During this period of his life, he also returned to the military by joining an Army Reserve medical unit in Parma, Ohio. Leveraging his GI Bill, Dan pursued graduate work in computer science at Cleveland State University, and upon completing his program in 1980, he transitioned into a new career field as a programmer for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. While his professional endeavors there included major operations such as installing and maintaining PCs, training employees, researching prospective products, and performing networking projects, his former colleagues also readily note his memorable contributions as a popular building tour guide and an accomplished ballroom dancer. Remaining there in IT for the remainder of this career, he retired from the Federal Reserve in 2004 and moved to nearby Rocky River, Ohio, where he resided from 2007 until his passing. Even in his later years, he maintained an impactful presence in his community and was awarded Volunteer of the Year recently for his beloved service as the "Popcorn Man" at the Rocky River Senior Center's Friday movies. Renowned by friends and family as much for his dry wit as for his encyclopedic mind and photographic memory, Dan never made a point of showing off his razor-sharp mind. His interests were vast and diverse, ranging from Cleveland sports teams to vintage firearms to military history. In fact, he incurred a reputation among his peers for possessing the rare ability to vociferously debate nearly any topic germane to American politics or history with an air of respectful humility-a quality that is sorely lacking among many social circles nowadays. He is survived by his brother, David, and his sister, Martha. His other sister, Marcia, died in 1997. Interment of his ashes will take place at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery on September 11, 2020 at 10:00 AM CDT. If you choose to make a donation in memory of Dan, please make it to a cause of your own choosing even if it is not listed on this website: https://everloved.com/life-of/daniel-koch/donate/?flow=203 |
| Jul 29, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Dan Maley, Class of 1963. Please keep the Maley family in your prayers. DANIEL CHARLES MALEY, 75, passed away on July 23, 2020. He was born on June 2, 1945 in Berea, OH. He graduated from St. Mary's Elementary School in Berea and St. Edward High School in Lakewood, OH. He attended Fenn College (now Cleveland State University) completing a three-year work/study program with Cleveland Twist Drill. In 1972, he moved to Phoenix, AZ, where he served as a police officer for four years. He then became the owner for 20 years of the former Lloyd's Marine in Mesa, AZ (now G & G Marine). After selling his boat business, he continued in the field as a manufacturer's rep for Marine Wholesale, covering territories from Phoenix to Tucson. He retired in 1998 and continued to enjoy boating; following the Diamondbacks, Cardinals, all ASU sports and car racing; and visiting military aircraft museums. He was an avid gardener with desert landscaping in his front yard and one-acre green back yard with many trees, including citrus. He was very proud of his Irish heritage. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout, served in the U.S. Army, and was a member of the American Legion Post 555 in Marblehead, OH. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Emmett and Lucy (Manning), and his first wife Peggy (Robeck). He is survived by his loving spouse Sandy (Ballard) to whom he was married 25 years; siblings Kathy Kracer (Dr. Richard), Patrick (Candace), Jim (Kathleen), Mary Stein (Rev. Rick), Eddie (Cheryl) and Kevin; step-children Kim Luyckx (Dr. Ben), Lori Paige (Tom); many beloved cousins, grandchildren, nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Private service on July 30 at Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery in Mesa, AZ. Due to COVID-19, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations may be made in Dan's name to the Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, 2946 E. Banner Gateway Dr., Gilbert, AZ 85234. |
| Jul 29, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Ed Bourguignon, Class of 1953. Please keep the Bourguignon family in your prayers. EDWARD WAHL BOURGUIGNON, 84, passed away on Saturday, July 25, 2020. Ed was born on September 25, 1935, to Henry and Helen (Wahl) Bourguignon in Bay Village, Ohio, He was the third of five children and a member of the founding class of St. Edward High School in Cleveland, Ohio. Following a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Detroit and peacetime service in the U.S. Army, Ed married the love of his life, Marilyn Rose Markert, on September 30, 1961, at Christ the King Church in East Cleveland, Ohio. Ed and Marilyn lived happily together for nearly 60 years, raising five children in a big, old house on Oakhill Road in East Cleveland. Ed was deeply committed to his Catholic faith. He was a 50-year member of St. Louis (now Communion of Saints) Catholic Church, as well as a long-time leader in the Christian Life Community (CLC), receiving the CLC Development Award in 2019. Ed gave generously of his time, talent, and resources, serving many local community organizations and offering help without question. Ed spent much of his professional career at Glidden Paint, but his children and grandchildren experienced his engineering aptitude through his many creative fix-it projects, including the annual drilling of branches into bare spots in the Christmas tree. He loved to travel, and was lucky that Marilyn was willing to spend many a summer vacation camping with him, the five kids, a dog, a station wagon, a canoe, a chuck box he had built from an old ping-pong table, and an old, used tent. (The travels became a bit more deluxe after the kids grew up.) He invested in an early home movie camera and documented all the family celebrations, delighting in later years in sharing them with his grandchildren. Ed had a wide circle of friends and will be missed. Survivors include Ed's wife, Marilyn Rose (Markert) Bourguignon; five children: Mary (Steven Daschle), Ann (Dan Van Auker), Ed (Anndee Huegel), Katherine (Regis Bailly), and Margaret; nine grandchildren: Edward and Albert Daschle, Ella and Rosalind Van Auker, Claire and Harrison Bourguignon, Guillaume and Gabrielle Bailly, and Maya Bourguignon; and his brother, Henry Bourguignon (Cheryl). "Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:21 In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Ed's name to the Campaign for Jesuit Senior Healthcare (www.jesuitsmidwest.org) or Cleveland MetroParks (https://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/parks/support/donate).

Seminary Mourns Passing of Beloved Professor Dr. Mark Latkovic (Nov. 2, 1963 - May 6, 2020) Dear friends, Today the seminary community received the very sad news that Dr. Mark Latkovic, professor of Moral and Systematic Theology, passed away suddenly. Dr. Latkovic taught at Sacred Heart since July 1990. He has served faithfully and generously over the years, and truly poured his whole being into the mission of the seminary for 30 years. He was passionate about moral theology and provided the students faithful teaching and a holy example. He was made a full professor in March 2003, and during his tenure at the Seminary, Dr. Latkovic taught numerous courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level; published dozens of articles, essays, book reviews, and books; appeared frequently as speaker and consultant on various moral issues in Michigan and around the country; and served on a variety of committees. His death is a monumental loss for all of us as part of the Sacred Heart community, for the Archdiocese of Detroit, and for Catholic Church as a whole. We ask the faithful to join us in praying for the repose of his soul and for consolation for his family, especially his wife, Christine, their children, and grandchildren. Although separated at the moment, there is nothing stronger for us than being bound in prayer, wrapped in the embrace of the risen Christ. While we all grieve in a very real way, a grief that comes from the deep bonds of human love and affection, I am reminded of the words of St. Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians about death and Christ's resurrection when he reminds us of the hope given through Christ's victory. He said: "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like others do who have no hope." During this Easter season, commend our brother in hope to the merciful and loving arms of the Father. Eternal rest grant unto him, Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Msgr. Todd J. Lajiness Rector and President of Sacred Heart Major Seminary Published in Mosaic Magazine |

| Apr 30, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Bob Rice, Class of 1962, brother of Tom, Class of 1974, and Richard, Class of 1977. Please keep the Rice family in your prayers. ROBERT J. "Bob" RICE peacefully passed away Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at the age of 75. At the time of his passing, he was a resident of Independence Village in Avon Lake, OH, where he was well-loved and with people who made him "shine!" Bob graduated from St. Edward High School, and went on to Marquette University, where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. Upon graduation, he went on to work for his father at the Drop Dies and Forgings Company, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio, where later, he and his brothers, carried on the family legacy as third-generation owners of the manufacturing company begun in 1919. The company was known for its specialty forgings made from difficult-to-forge metals. Bob was serving as Executive Vice-President when the company was sold in the year 2000, and he retired. Bob served on the Board of the Forging Industry Association for a time. He was a former Member of the Cleveland Athletic Club and Rockwell Springs Trout Club. Bob was a 2010 Inductee into Cleveland Clinic Foundation's 1921 Society and Member of the Medallion Society. Bob's avocations were many and diverse. He was an avid fisherman from the time he was a child. From steelhead in neighborhood rivers to fly-fishing for tarpon in the Florida Keys and Venezuela or trout in Montana and salmon in Michigan... it was always difficult to tell if it was the fish, the scenery or the marvelous people he met along the way that drew him to love the sport more and more! "One could never have a bad day fishing," he would often say. Bob's interest in cars began as a teenager and never stopped! While he was known for his Hummer for many years, Bob enjoyed a variety of Classic Cars. His pride and joy was a 1966 Chevy Corvette. He participated in a few Charity Car Shows, enjoying camaraderie and admiring the dedication of the Classic Car community. Retirement brought Bob an opportunity to discover photography. An early-riser all his life, it was the perfect avocation to learn as he'd been told that "the light was the best early in the morning." With a dear neighbor-and-photographic-mentor by his side, he enjoyed early hikes at Huntington Park and comparing notes and laughs with other new photog friends at Panera's afterwards. And later, Bob enjoyed photo trips in Rockland, Maine onboard the Schooner American Eagle. A true experience of everything he loved the most! A great guy... a lover of the Cleveland Indians and the Orchestra... a gentleman and a jokester... generous and genuine... kind-hearted and caring... and a well-loved man who will be dearly missed by many. Above all else, it was family that brought the greatest joy, contentment and pleasure to Bob's life. While Bob lived and enjoyed the company of his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, his heart was always with his son and family in Windsor, CA. Bob is survived by his son, Robert Josh (Sherryse Tegnell) and three grandchildren, Owen, Olivia and Sienna, and ex-wife and dearest friend, Melinda Lindsey Rice from Morro Bay, CA. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Mary Jane (Redmond) Rice and his sister, Karen O'Neil. He is survived by his siblings Lawrence (Judy), Jane, Thomas (Rose) and Richard (Susan). Bob will be missed by his many nieces and nephews, Matthew, Sarah, Cathryn (Dan) Griffin, Allyson (Kevin Hricik), Rachel (Michael) Russell, Jared (Lauren), and Peggy, Michael (Colleen) and Kathleen O'Neil and all of their children, and many cousins. In light of current health and safety directives regarding the global pandemic at this time, Memorial Services and Catholic Mass will be held in Cleveland, OH and Windsor, CA at later dates. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to one of Bob's favorite charities such as Spring Hills Community Church, PO Box 6653, Santa Rosa, CA 95406 (springhills.org for online giving) John Owen's Adventure, Inc. (joainc.org) fighting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, 5715 Bunker Rd. North Royalton, Ohio 44133, and St. Edward High School, 13500 Detroit Rd, Lakewood, OH 44107, or favorite charity of your choice.

| Apr 25, 2020 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of James Thomas DelVecchio, father of Jim, Jr., Class of 1981. Please keep the DelVecchio family in your prayers. It is with great joy that we memorialize the life of James "Jim" DelVecchio after his passing on Tuesday, April 21st, 2020, aged 84 years, at his home in North Ridgeville surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Cleveland, Jim lived life loudly and without a filter. He was the loving brother of Peter and the son of Adelaide and Peter (both Deceased). The highlight of his life was marrying his wife Barbara, who put up with him for over 60 years. They spent over 50 years raising their family at their home on Carsten Lane in North Olmsted. After proudly graduating from Ohio University in 1958, Jim began his teaching career at his alma mater, West High School. He became the school's Athletic Director in 1965 before taking on the same role at West Tech in 1969. Outside of the classroom, he was an animated high school and college basketball referee, who also passionately coached baseball and football programs. Despite his community involvement, Jim's top priority remained his family. He was proud of the family he built, and even prouder of each and every family member. Together, Jim and Barb welcomed five children into this world: Sharon (Steve Ziska), Jim (Marcy), Connie Stoll (Craig), John (deceased), and Diana Sopko (Mike). He adored his nine grandchildren, affectionately referring to him as "Papa", Jonathan (Kayla), Emma (Zack), Madeline, Thomas, Alyssa, Henry, Frankie, Annie, and Charlie, and his two great-grandchildren, Hailey and Natalie. Jim had a strong personality with a lot of love to give. His purpose in life was centered around helping, shaping, and caring for others, throwing his whole self into everything he did. Best described, "You knew when you met him - no matter your opinion - you would never forget him." On the day of his passing and in his honor, the North Ridgeville Utilities Department facilitated proper rubbish collection, while Pioneer Ridge's landscaping company ensured immaculate lawn mowing. In memory of Jim, toast a glass of wine and share your favorite story with your loved ones to preserve his legacy. Due to the ongoing global health crisis, a Funeral Mass in Jim's honor will be held when it is deemed safe and will be announced when available. |

Born in Cleveland, Tim was raised in Rocky River, Ohio, and attended St. Edwards High School before graduating from the University of Toronto, St. Michael's College. He served as a Lieutenant in the Navy in Hawaii for three years. Tim spent his professional career as an estate planner in Philadelphia, where he and Diane raised their family. But what truly best defined Tim were his dual passions for sailing and for social justice. Under the auspices of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, he founded the church's Peacemaking Taskforce and fostered an exchange-through Bridges for Peace-with the Russian Orthodox Church. The Taskforce also sponsored Prihort, a horticultural program at Graterford Penitentiary. Prihort served prisoners by offering restorative training in gardening in the prison greenhouse and gardens and by supporting employment transitions when prisoners completed their sentences. Tim's passion for sailing began in high school with ownership of a Thistle which he raced on Lake Erie, ably aided by five of his high school buddies. In 1966, Tim medaled in the National 420 Races. Over the following years, he owned and raced a Cal 25 and a Sonar. At the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club, where he served on the Board of Governors, he was instrumental in founding the Sonar fleet and headed the adult sailing program. Tim loved sharing his passion for sailing and being out on the water with his children, his grandchildren, and his great nieces and nephews.

| Oct 17, 2019 | GREGORY ROBERT GIBBONS was granted the gift of life and lived it to its fullest for 67 years. In turn, he gifted all who knew and loved him with his inspired wit, charm, and undying belief in the spirit of goodness. For each of these and more, we will be forever grateful. Greg passed away suddenly on January 4, 2019 leaving the legacy of a loving husband to Robin, devoted stepfather to Laine, caring son and brother to Frances and Trisha and a faithful friend and ally to many. He was predeceased by his father, Frank Gibbons, a well-known sports writer for The Cleveland Press. For all who loved him, the loss of his presence in our lives seems too much to bear. It has often been stated that death is more universal than life…everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives…Greg truly lived and touched our hearts and made us more eager to search for the goodness in life. May we never let him down by giving up our quest. Greg was a lover of all things Cleveland – its culture, institutions, sports teams, and restaurants. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to Rescue Village Geauga Humane Society, 15463 Chillicothe Road, Russell Township, Ohio, 44072, rescuevillage.org.

David Lawrence Palisin age 72, passed away peacefully from complications due to cancer and kidney disease on Saturday, September 28, 2019, with his loving family by his side. He was born in Lakewood, Ohio on November 15, 1946, son of the late William and Opal (nee Dew). He grew up in Brooklyn, where he attended grade school at St. Thomas More. He was a 1964 graduate of St. Edward High School. He received his undergraduate degree in finance from The Ohio State University in 1967, where he was a member of Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity. In 1971, he received an MBA in management at Case Western Reserve University and then an MBA in accounting from Miami University in 1973. He married his neighbor, Marilyn (nee Zenchak) in 1975, and for 44 years, they had a devoted, loving marriage. For the past twenty years, they resided in Rocky River. Together, they traveled all 50 states and in recent years started traveling in Europe, this past May to London and Paris. He started his professional career in public accounting and secured his CPA certificate. From there, his entrepreneurial spirit took over, and in 1981, he purchased a small distributorship here in Cleveland, Cut Tool and Supply. In 1983, he combined that company with the acquisition of Sup-R-Die, Inc., another tool and die distributor. His education, background in public accounting, and team building skills helped him develop a growing and successful enterprise. In 1995, he and a partner co-founded a new business, Diamond Metals, which served the same industry but backward integrated them into the steel processing side, another successful venture. Finally starting to think about planning his retirement, he successfully sold the Sup-R-Die business to two key employees in January 2017 and followed that with the sale of Diamond Metals to a private equity firm in January 2018. Beyond the business side, where he was active in many trade associations, David loved golf and belonged to Westwood Country Club, where he recently was chairman of the Finance Committee. He was a former member at Lakewood Country Club, where he participated on the board and various committees. He also was an active member of St. Edward's Finance Committee, a former member of the Cleveland Athletic Club, where several lifelong friendships developed, and since retiring, volunteered with Business Advisors of Cleveland. For the past ten years, he was on the board of his condominium association. While David loved many sporting activities, he was most passionate for the Buckeyes and Browns, where he was a season ticket holder for both for many years. That same love extended to his high school alma mater, where he and Marilyn recently made a major gift to the St. Edward's capital campaign. The new commons area is being named in their honor. David is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Marilyn, his devoted brother Terrence (Jane) of Fort Myers, FL, and his niece, Tracy Thomas of San Diego, along with his brother-in-law, John Zenchak (Kris) of Brookfield, IL and nieces, Jessica Petersen (Eric) and Erika Zenchak. Many cousins also survive. A special thank you is being extended to all the doctors and nurses at Fairview Hospital who provided such compassionate care and support over the last two weeks. Another thank you to his doctors at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus for their excellent treatment of his medical challenges the past several years. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in David's name to the St. Edward Endowment Fund, 13500 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, OH 44107.

Also, uncle of John Seelie, Class of 2012, Michael Dauchy, Class of 2013, and Luke Seelie, Class of 2017. Please keep the Seelie and Dauchy families in your prayers. William John Seelie, known as Bill, age 66 of Plano, Texas passed away on Sunday night, September 8, 2019 in Dallas, Texas surrounded by family. Bill was born on September 24, 1952 in Lakewood, Ohio, a son of his father: John Beaumont Seelie and his mother: Rita Ann Hussion. Bill attended St. Clement Catholic grade school in Lakewood, Ohio. He graduated from St. Edward Catholic High School, also in Lakewood, class of 1970. Following graduation, he went on to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. He was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity where he met some of his closest friends. Bill went on to receive his undergraduate and Master's Degree in Psychology. After a few years, Bill realized he preferred results rather than listening to people's problems. Bill found his true passion in sales and marketing, landing a job with American Express, where he went on to attain his MBA and become the youngest Senior VP of the company. Bill met some of his closest colleagues and touched so many lives during his thirteen-year tenure. After his illustrious career at American Express, Bill went on to work at many other companies, including AT&T, NTC, and Verisign, where he left a lasting legacy. Even with such a successful and prosperous career, Bill's true pride and joy was his family. Bill and Sue met each other in Cleveland at Sammy's in the Flats, one of their favorite restaurants. It was love at first sight. He married Sue Anthony on June 30, 1984 at St. Clement Catholic Parish in Lakewood, Ohio and they enjoyed 35 happy years together. During those years they moved around the country, but finally settled in Plano, TX to start a family. Some of Bill's favorite memories were spending time with his kids coaching their sports teams and attending their games. He had a passion for motivating his family to be the best they can be and was always the guy to lean on for advice. Though Bill loved Texas, he never lost touch with his Cleveland roots, making sure to visit every summer to be with family and friends to keep the ties strong. He was a true rock of the family. Bill had many interests and passions throughout his life and was the ultimate planner. He planned many wonderful ski trips, golf outings, and fun filled vacations. Bill had a passion for golf and would never turn down an opportunity to play 18. He also loved the annual ski trip with his family and driving through the Rocky Mountains. While at home, Bill loved hanging out by the pool, grilling with his family. He had a passion for both Dallas and Cleveland sports and had some great sibling rivalries between the two cities. Bill was also very proud of his Irish, Catholic roots, which was never more apparent when he would tell a story. He could light up a room with his storytelling and had a story for any occasion. During the last couple years of his life, nothing made Bill happier than spending time with his grandkids. Even when Bill received the diagnosis that he had MDS, he lived life to the fullest, still traveling, playing golf, and being there for his family. He always had a smile on his face and kept a positive tone, even while going through treatment. Bill was preceded in death by his parents and one brother: Bob Seelie. He is survived by his wife: Susan Seelie of Plano, Texas. He is also survived by one son: Dylan Andrew (wife Kendall) Seelie of McKinney, Texas, and one daughter: Jenna Elizabeth Seelie of Plano, Texas. Brother: John (wife Laura) Seelie of North Olmsted, Ohio, brother: Dave Seelie of Lakewood, Ohio, and one sister: Carol (husband Tom) Dauchy of North Olmsted, Ohio. Two grandchildren: Levi Seelie and Hallie Seelie of McKinney, Texas. |

Enrico "Rico" Grazia was born on August 19, 1939 in Castel di Sangro, Italy and after 80 incredible years, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on August 25, 2019. He came to the United States at the age of 17 seeking greater opportunities. Upon entering the United States, he immediately began to demonstrate his commitment to hard work and his dedication for building a better life. Living in the Collinwood neighborhood for many years, he worked long hours and labor-intensive jobs, eventually gravitating to the grocery industry where his work ethic and opportunities continued to grow. He was grateful for his first opportunity to enter the grocery business, afforded to him by Russo's Stop-n-Shop, which ultimately led to a career at Heinen's Grocery Stores. While in Collinwood, he met a very special lady named Gorizia. On April 8, 1961 at Holy Redeemer Church, he made this special lady his precious wife. They soon started a family and lived above the T & R ice cream shop on Clarke Avenue, a shop that they co-owned with the DiIorio family. Always working harder and seeking greater endeavors, Rico and Gorizia moved to North Olmsted, where they continued to raise their growing family. After the kids were done with school, they settled in Chesterland. During this time, he continued to work for Heinen's Grocery Stores as the Director of Produce. His role and his relationships with his colleagues at Heinen's made him feel honored and grateful and they forged a reciprocal relationship of loyalty and respect that lasted for over 50 years. Enrico was passionate about the numerous, organizations, clubs and activities in which he was involved. He was a long-time devoted parishioner of St. Anselm Catholic Church in Chesterland, where he and his late wife Gorizia were committed to the growth of the parish. Enrico cared for, and was deeply involved with, the Family of St. Leonard community in Avon. He was traditional and proud of his heritage. He belonged to many other organizations including the Home Family Club of Parma (Italian American Club). To say that he was passionate for soccer would be an understatement. He coached and managed several teams including the professional Cleveland Stars/Cobras and the semi-professional Inter-Italians. Enrico was honored with induction into the Ohio Soccer Hall of Fame in 2009. In his free time, Enrico enjoyed playing soccer and bocce and loved making his famous dried Italian sausage with his family. He was a "foodie" before that term existed. With his red pocketknife always at the ready, he would cut and taste a slice of nectarine, sausage, apple, or kiwi while those around him anxiously awaited his expert critique. He also enjoyed playing cards, especially Scopa, and probably in his yellow shirt. Affectionately referred to as "Papa" by his family, he spent countless hours watching all of his grandkids play sports. At these sporting events he was often willing to unselfishly assist, educate and enlighten the referees with alternative interpretations of their rulings! Even at 80 years old, he never lost the connection with his inner child. His humor, wit and playfulness were unique, priceless and beyond compare. He was kind, self-less, and compassionate. He was beyond generous, especially with his time. "Papa" was always willing to teach and advise. He did this not just by telling how to do it, but by demonstrating, through his actions, that it could be done. He walked the walk of a true patriarch. Above all else, family meant everything to him. His motto was "God, Family, Respect" and although he could be flexible on other matters, he was unyielding when it came to this. He lived his motto. He cherished everyone being together Christmas Day and the annual family vacations, especially the trip to Italy in 2012. He was faith-filled and prayed the rosary with his family. His family and his faith provided the power for the infinite lights that radiated from him. In 2002, on the threshold of his retirement, his precious wife died suddenly. In the family's darkest time, he produced yet another light, this one lit and passed to him from Gorizia. He continued to cherish and honor her by constantly illuminating the family with her glow and providing an unwavering dedication to keeping every note in tune in the family symphony. So, as Rico dances with Gorizia once again, to the symphony that they composed, may their children be their echo, and their grandchildren the echo of that echo, so that their songs will be sung forever. Mass of Christian Burial Friday, September 6, 2019 at 11 AM at St. Anselm Catholic Church. Entombment following at Western Reserve Memorial Gardens. Family will receive friends to pay tribute to and celebrate the life of Enrico at THE DeJOHN FUNERAL HOME & CELEBRATIONS CENTER OF CHESTERLAND 12811 CHILLICOTHE ROAD (Rt. 306, just south of Mayfield Rd.)

| Aug 20, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Joselito "Lito" Sandoval, Class of 1980, brother of Dan, Class of 1978, Ric, Class of 1981, and Mike, Class of 1982. Please keep the Sandoval family in your prayers. JOSELITO "LITO" SANDOVAL age 57. Beloved husband of Kathleen (Weber) for 35 years, loving father of Jason (Nicole), Lauren "Loey" Cook (Carson), Amara "Mar", and Isabel "Boo." Grandfather of eight; son of Dr. Flory and Rosemary (deceased); brother of Michelle, Daniel, Ricardo, Michael, Renee, Terry, and Jennifer. In addition to being a loving husband and father, Lito proudly served with the Cleveland Police for more than 32 years, starting out as a patrolman and ending his career as a Homicide Detective. During his career he received awards and recognition for his bravery and heroism in the line of duty. He also appeared in numerous television programs, including The First 48, Crime 360, Killer Couples and Warrant (He does have an IMDB.com page), which gave people a glimpse of his professional work. It is true a person's life is far more than simple dates, names and events. And for Lito, that adage couldn't be truer. Despite receiving accolades and recognition for his work as a police officer, he was humble to a fault, never boasting of his awards and embarrassed to see himself on television. He would rather dote on his family and was always willing to help a family member or a friend when needed. What he truly lived for was spending as much time with his family and friends as he could, organizing impromptu cookouts and occasionally cooking up his pancit and egg rolls, truly a crowd favorite. Through his whole life Lito displayed the compassion and genuine concern for those around him, including many of the health care workers who tended to him during his extended hospital stays. Hospital staff, from nurses to techs to custodial and kitchen employees were all treated as long-time friends. He not only leaves behind a large family and many friends, but a lifetime of helping others. He truly will be missed. Friends may call in AT MCGORRAY-HANNA FUNERAL HOMES, 25620 CENTER RIDGE RD., WESTLAKE, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 21, FROM 2-7 PM.

| Jun 21, 2019 | Laurence E. "Larry" Delaney, born on November 11th in 1942 in Cleveland, OH Laurence Edward Delaney entered into this world full of mischief and humor, much to the exasperation of his parents Walter and May. Larry was the ringleader of his siblings, teaching brothers Dennis, Brian and Paul and sisters Mary and Renie, invaluable lessons like how to escape from their attic bedrooms by shimmying down the gutters or showing them what happens when you rig up your RC airplane to see if the family kitten could fly. They really missed that kitten.... (Last seen soaring over the tops of the pine trees and gaining altitude). At St Edwards, he ran the Holy Cross brothers ragged; performing magic and sleight of hand tricks while serving as altar boy at 5 am Mass or stealing the clicker prompt for cueing the congregation on when to stand and when to kneel. The "St Ed's boys" still get together every year to retell the tales of their collective childhood and the tales get taller and taller as the years go by. As a young man while working as a traveling salesman he met a beautiful college student named Catherine Harrison. Since she was his soulmate, he married her on a festive yet snowy December 24, 1966 at St. Patrick's Church in Chittenango, NY. One thing led to another and together they had a son; and then a daughter. Larry went back to school to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Respiratory Therapy so that he could make a better life for his family. He quickly became department head at Noyes Memorial Hospital in Dansville and later at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester. On weekends you would often find Larry and his son Patrick waist deep fly fishing in a riffle and hoping for a bite, in a duck blind trying to imitate the call of a wayward mallard, up in a tree on cold November days hoping to surprise a buck, or pranking each other by sneaking bear poop into each other's shoes. He trained his Golden Retrievers for competing in hunting field trials, dabbled in woodworking; making homemade wine and whiskey; was a consummate storyteller, and taught his daughter Deirdre to tell puns almost as bad as his. He was a faithful member of Holy Family Catholic Community and the Knights of Columbus. Larry was pre-deceased by his parents, Walter and May Delaney; his son Patrick Delaney in 2013; his brother Dennis Delaney in 2014; and infant brother, Joseph Delaney. He is survived by his wife Catherine Delaney of Dansville; his daughter Deirdre (Robert) Thompson of Portland, OR; his grandchildren, Bailey and Reilly; siblings, Brian Delaney of Lakewood, OH, Mary Delaney of Lakewood, OH, Renie (Paul) Miller of North Olmsted, OH and Paul (Tracy) Delaney of Milwaukee, WI; his brother in law, Charles Harrison of Livonia; several nieces and nephews; and his dear friends, Mark and Kelly Matteson of E. Rochester. Larry's family would like to invite friends to attend a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday June 22, 2019 at 10 am at St. Mary's Church in Dansville, New York and for food, drink and sharing stories afterwards at the Union Hose. Contributions in memory of Laurence "Larry" Delaney may be made to Livingston County Hospice, 2 Murray Hill Drive, Mt Morris, NY 14510. |

| Jun 11, 2019 | Dear Alumni: We were just notified of the passing of Ed Gedeon, Class of 1954. Please keep the Gedeon family in your prayers. EDWARD F. GEDEON passed away suddenly Tuesday, May 29, 2018. Ed was born at home in Cleveland on June 2, 1935. He was the youngest in a family of five, having an older sister and foster brother. Ed embraced responsibility very early, taking on a paper route with the Shopping News at the age of 7. He kept that paper route throughout high school, adding a job with two men's clothing stores at different times, and peddling an ice cream bicycle wagon in his neighborhood during the summer months. He took great pride in the fact that his employers at the clothing stores asked his opinion when purchasing stock, and gave him a lot of responsibility at the store for someone his age. After graduating from St. Edward High School, he joined the family business, Gedeon Dairy, and married his high school sweetheart, Sara Pace, after she graduated from John Marshall High School in 1955. He supported his growing family by working in the dairy industry, becoming a valued employee of the company that eventually bought the family business. He retired from that company in 1993. In retirement, Ed took great joy in maintaining the 11 acres of woods that he and his wife owned and lived on. It always made him smile when folks told him it looked like a park. He could putter with anything mechanical and get it working, and for anyone who had a problem that needed fixing, he was always ready with a solution. He made friends easily, and shopping trips in town were usually all day events, as he enjoyed conversing with anyone he ran into that was open to talking with him. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, four daughters, 2 sons-in law, 8 adult grandchildren, 5 adult grandchildren-in-law, 6 great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and his faithful Labrador, Remi. They are his legacy. In Heaven, Ed will be reunited with grandparents, his mother and father, foster brother, and several beloved dogs. A memorial service for immediate family and close friends will be held sometime in July. |

| Mar 18, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Mary Louise Joyce-Smith, wife of George C. Smith III, Class of 1958. Please keep the Joyce and Smith families in your prayers. Mary Louise Joyce-Smith, 87, passed into the Glory of God on March 14, 2019, at University Hospital in Cleveland, after a short illness. She was born October 1, 1931 to Isadore and Kathleen (Fox) McNulty in Windber, Pennsylvania, the second youngest of 6 children. A coal miner's daughter, she lived through the depression and the hard times of World War II before marrying James Joyce on September 15, 1951. They raised three children, moving to Cleveland in 1954 and then Brook Park in 1956. Mr. Joyce passed away on June 14, 1993. On August 30, 1997 Mary married George C. Smith and he survives. Mary and George lived together in Aurora. Mary dreamed all her life of becoming a nurse and in 1971, graduated from Cuyahoga Community College, at the same time her oldest daughter graduated from high school. She worked for many years as a registered nurse at St. Vincent Charity Hospital. She kept up her registration for many years after her retirement. After she married George, a Certified Public Accountant, she learned about accounting and became an active part of that business, at a time when many retirees were relaxing on the couch. Mary was a devout Roman Catholic all her life, finding grace, peace and salvation in that faith. She passed the love of Jesus Christ to her children. Mary's interests were varied and numerous and she remained active and independent right up to the day of her illness. She loved gardening and flowers, was an accomplished seamstress, loved computer games, eating out and travel. Sedona, Arizona was among her favorite places in the world. She and George traveled there 22 times. Mary and George had an active and happy social life together and are known not just in the Cleveland area, but throughout the United States. Mary was the last surviving member of her immediate family, having been pre-deceased by her parents, two brothers and three sisters. She is survived by her beloved husband George C. Smith III, daughters Michaelene (Brian) Hanrahan and Catherine (Richard) Herrlich, son James J. (Irene Jannsohn) Joyce Jr., grandchildren Curtis (Hanae Bendali) Bratton, Rachel Bratton Pearson, Erik Joyce, Evan Joyce and Elena Joyce, great-grandchildren Nolan and Kenzie Bratton, step-daughters Deborah A.(fiance George Glassmeyer) Smith, Diana (Les) Rau and Theresa (Chet) Inman, step-grandchildren Steven (Shelby) Rau, Teshira Rau, Mariana Charm Rau, and Jennifer Inman and step-great grandchildren Channing and Camden Rau and Olive.

| Mar 14, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Rosemary Miller, mother of Jeff, Class of 1969, Pete, Class of 1979, and the late Stephen, Class of 1966. Please keep the Miller family in your prayers. Rosemary Ryan Miller passed away in her sleep, a blessedly quiet exit earned after a long, full and sometimes trying life. She was 92, and in declining health, had resided at Hillside Nursing & Rehab of Wake Forest, NC since 2013. What she packed into those years when she could still drive! Wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she was a Cleveland West-side Irish Catholic force of nature. Rosemary gave her days and her heart to the people she loved and principles that guided her life. With her children mostly grown and husband retired, she became a late-in-life career woman and college student, dedicated community volunteer and Associate to the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. Wherever she lived, she attended mass most days. She craved dignity and approval, relished a good laugh, had a flair for martyrdom and often referred to herself as "God's Clown." She lived her faith with warmth and humor. Hokey jokes, pots of homemade soup, fresh-baked pies and crocheted baby blankets, these were her sacred offerings to celebrate life's passages. Creatively gifted, she could inspect the seams of a dress and make it, turn out an elegant dinner for 20, read a novel in a day, whistle with the skill of a mockingbird. She loved to talk and to sew, the color red, movie musicals and most holidays, a good bargain, new shoes, travel, old jazz, the sound of young Frank Sinatra's voice, voting for the Democrats. Inordinately proud of her children's successes, she was unlimited both in her opinions and desire to share the most recent batch of family photos. When her children misbehaved, even well into adulthood, she'd send a donation to the Poor Clares nuns, inciting a long-running joke about which offspring was the current "special intention." She was well and fiercely loved by her entire family and network of friends, even though she doubted it, and she did things her way right up to her last day. Born in Cleveland, OH, to Charles and Mary Elizabeth Ryan, Rosemary was the youngest of five children. She long outlived her parents and siblings, but carried the scars of a painful childhood marked by alcoholism, abuse and the anxieties of growing up in the wake of the Great Depression. When she graduated from St. Michael's High School in 1942, she had already met the love of her life. During WWII, her parents opened spare rooms in their home to members of the military training at Cleveland Diesel, and a handsome young chief petty officer, a Southerner named Vernon "Pete" Miller, appeared on the doorstep. She was 16 then, 19 when they wed in the parish rectory. As individuals they could not have differed more, yet their love was a battle well-matched. Marriage took her from Cleveland to make homes in Morristown, NJ, back to Lakewood, OH, and eventually to Columbia, SC, where they retired in 1979. After 18 years of marriage, Pete converted to Catholicism, but their political differences remained irreconcilable. They faithfully cancelled each other's votes in every election and had four children over 19 years - only during Democratic administrations, she fondly noted. Their union endured 50 years until he died of lung cancer in 1996. She sent a son to the Vietnam war while still parenting a teenager, kindergartner and toddler. She nursed her husband through a crippling car accident in 1976, and multiple bouts of cancer after. No wonder she remained a worrier. After years of being defined as someone's wife or mother, Rosemary went back to work in her 50s, enjoying a series of high level administrative jobs in the food industry in Columbia, SC. She took literature and writing courses at the University of South Carolina, became a docent at the Woodrow Wilson House and patient advocate at Providence Hospital. This was truly joyful and meaningful work, and in 2011, Providence Hospital honored her with induction to their Heritage Society. At 85, she grudgingly moved an independent living facility in Athens GA, which she wryly dubbed "Castle of the Dead." Even there she made many friends, as she also did at Hillside Nursing. Faith, love and laughter marked most of the days of her life, and she was never without family who loved her. She is preceded in death by her husband, Vernon Reid Miller, and son, Stephen Charles Miller. Surviving are her daughter-in-law Toni (Maschek) Miller of Durham; sons, Jeffrey Reid (Maureen Glynn) Miller of Athens, GA and Dr. Peter Daniel Miller (Ann Tormey) of Hickory, NC, daughter, Mary E. Miller (Bob Geolas) of Raleigh. She has 11 grandchildren and three, soon to be four, great-grandchildren. The family will celebrate Rosemary Miller's life at a noon mass on Feb. 21st at St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church, Sparta, NC, followed by a burial service in the family plot in Laurel Springs, NC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Poor Clares Monastery, 3501 Rocky River Drive, Cleveland, OH 44111. |

| Mar 13, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Craig Tame, Class of 1967, brother of Gary, Class of 1965. Please keep the Tame family in your prayers. CRAIG A. TAME 70, of Lakewood, passed away Sunday after a brief struggle with cancer. He will be remembered for his public service, compassion and optimism. Craig was the son of the late George and Alice (nee Terbrack) Tame. He is survived by his longtime companion Kathy St. John, his brother Gary (Gary Wood), his sister Karen Chatlos (Eddie), his nieces Megan Seaman, Jennifer McGinty (Patrick), nephews Ryan Vincent, Jeffrey Chatlos (Amy), Brian Chatlos, Tim Chatlos, Greg Chatlos, and his oldest friend, Isam Salah. Craig grew up in the West Park neighborhood of Cleveland and graduated from St. Edward High School, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland - Marshall College of Law. He then began a remarkable career in government that spanned 40 years in which he helped shape policies focused on neglected and abused children, domestic violence, strategies to reduce violent crime, and the opioid epidemic, among others. Craig was a longtime employee of Cuyahoga County, eventually serving as director of the Department of Justice Affairs, before taking a job in the Cleveland Mayor's Cabinet as Chief of Health and Public Safety. He then joined the U.S. Attorney's Office to serve as Law Enforcement Coordinator, where he worked until the time of his death. Craig loved many things - his "sweetie" Kathy, St. Edward athletics, red wine, law enforcement and first responders, and long meetings, which were always attended with a venti Starbucks coffee in hand. He traveled abroad frequently with Kathy and on "brothers' trips" to exotic destinations with his brother Gary. He served as a mentor to all around him, often encouraging young people to embrace public service. He had an indefatigable belief that the world could be made a better, safer place, particularly if people worked together. Even in the worst weather or battling cancer, Craig found a way to attend nearly every St. Edward football or basketball game. He loved the honesty of hard work. The more humble your beginnings, the more interested Craig was. He asked about your family. And he dedicated his life to making us all safer. FUNERAL MASS SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 2019 AT 10 A.M.

| Mar 1, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of William Wells, Class of 1959, brother of John Wells, Class of 1965. Please keep the Wells' family in your prayers. William Arthur "Bill" Wells age 77, passed away February 25, 2019. He courageously fought, but ultimately lost, an 8-month battle with a brain tumor. He was a resident of DuBois, PA, but had spent his youth in the Cleveland, OH area, where much of his family still lives. His parents were Lois (Terrell) Wells and Arthur Vernon Wells. Bill was the oldest of six children. He is survived by sisters Sally Mahoney, Margaret Stenzel (Jeff), Karen Morris (Edward), and brother John Wells. He is preceded in death by his sister MaryLou Kendall (Owen). Bill attended St. Edward High School (class of '59) in Lakewood, OH and Notre Dame University (class of '63) in South Bend, IN. He first went to work as an English teacher at Glenville High School in Cleveland, OH for several years, and then switched over to a career in sales and marketing. Throughout his working years, he represented a number of companies on a national level. His jobs afforded him the opportunity to live in and work from multiple states across the U.S. He married MaryJayne Puhl on January 18, 1964. MaryJayne preceded Bill in death in 1987. They are survived by their four children, Claire T. Courtney (Mark LaCourse), Katherine Courtney Wells, Vernon Richard Wells (Magdalia), and David Arthur Wells (Jennifer), as well as 5 grandchildren. On August 11, 1995, he married Carol Irvine DeWald, his loving and supportive wife that cared for him until his death. Carol had 2 children from a previous marriage, who Bill helped to raise: Daniel J. DeWald and Richard A. DeWald. Bill loved animals, and throughout his life his household included dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pet rats, and a multitude of tropical fish. Despite this, he was well known for insisting on a spotless environment, which doesn't necessarily go along with pet ownership. Bill enjoyed fishing and watching sports, especially when the Fighting Irish, the Browns, or the Indians were playing. His favorite place to be was at the family cottages on Lake Erie, in Vermilion, OH. As a child, Bill spent entire summers in this place with 28 first cousins coming and going. With 3 cottages still owned by family members today, during summer weekends it is a sure bet that a cousin or two will stop by and visit to enjoy the lake, the sunset and the relaxed vacation ambiance. A celebration of Bill's life will take place at "the cottage" during the warmer months, on a date that is yet to be determined, but will be announced in this column. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Bill's name to the CaringBridge website at www.CaringBridge.org/visit/williamwells, or to St. Edward High School, below.

After high school he spent his career life in sales, working with multiple Fortune 500 Companies.

| Feb 22, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Rosemary Miller, mother of Jeff, Class of 1969, Pete, Class of 1979, and the late Stephen, Class of 1966. Please keep the Miller family in your prayers. Rosemary Ryan Miller passed away in her sleep, a blessedly quiet exit earned after a long, full and sometimes trying life. She was 92, and in declining health, had resided at Hillside Nursing & Rehab of Wake Forest, NC since 2013. What she packed into those years when she could still drive! Wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she was a Cleveland West-side Irish Catholic force of nature. Rosemary gave her days and her heart to the people she loved and principles that guided her life. With her children mostly grown and husband retired, she became a late-in-life career woman and college student, dedicated community volunteer and Associate to the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. Wherever she lived, she attended mass most days. She craved dignity and approval, relished a good laugh, had a flair for martyrdom and often referred to herself as "God's Clown." She lived her faith with warmth and humor. Hokey jokes, pots of homemade soup, fresh-baked pies and crocheted baby blankets, these were her sacred offerings to celebrate life's passages. Creatively gifted, she could inspect the seams of a dress and make it, turn out an elegant dinner for 20, read a novel in a day, whistle with the skill of a mockingbird. She loved to talk and to sew, the color red, movie musicals and most holidays, a good bargain, new shoes, travel, old jazz, the sound of young Frank Sinatra's voice, voting for the Democrats. Inordinately proud of her children's successes, she was unlimited both in her opinions and desire to share the most recent batch of family photos. When her children misbehaved, even well into adulthood, she'd send a donation to the Poor Clares nuns, inciting a long-running joke about which offspring was the current "special intention." She was well and fiercely loved by her entire family and network of friends, even though she doubted it, and she did things her way right up to her last day. Born in Cleveland, OH, to Charles and Mary Elizabeth Ryan, Rosemary was the youngest of five children. She long outlived her parents and siblings, but carried the scars of a painful childhood marked by alcoholism, abuse and the anxieties of growing up in the wake of the Great Depression. When she graduated from St. Michael's High School in 1942, she had already met the love of her life. During WWII, her parents opened spare rooms in their home to members of the military training at Cleveland Diesel, and a handsome young chief petty officer, a Southerner named Vernon "Pete" Miller, appeared on the doorstep. She was 16 then, 19 when they wed in the parish rectory. As individuals they could not have differed more, yet their love was a battle well-matched. Marriage took her from Cleveland to make homes in Morristown, NJ, back to Lakewood, OH, and eventually to Columbia, SC, where they retired in 1979. After 18 years of marriage, Pete converted to Catholicism, but their political differences remained irreconcilable. They faithfully cancelled each other's votes in every election and had four children over 19 years - only during Democratic administrations, she fondly noted. Their union endured 50 years until he died of lung cancer in 1996. She sent a son to the Vietnam war while still parenting a teenager, kindergartner and toddler. She nursed her husband through a crippling car accident in 1976, and multiple bouts of cancer after. No wonder she remained a worrier. After years of being defined as someone's wife or mother, Rosemary went back to work in her 50s, enjoying a series of high level administrative jobs in the food industry in Columbia, SC. She took literature and writing courses at the University of South Carolina, became a docent at the Woodrow Wilson House and patient advocate at Providence Hospital. This was truly joyful and meaningful work, and in 2011, Providence Hospital honored her with induction to their Heritage Society. At 85, she grudgingly moved an independent living facility in Athens GA, which she wryly dubbed "Castle of the Dead." Even there she made many friends, as she also did at Hillside Nursing. Faith, love and laughter marked most of the days of her life, and she was never without family who loved her. She is preceded in death by her husband, Vernon Reid Miller, and son, Stephen Charles Miller. Surviving are her daughter-in-law Toni (Maschek) Miller of Durham; sons, Jeffrey Reid (Maureen Glynn) Miller of Athens, GA and Dr. Peter Daniel Miller (Ann Tormey) of Hickory, NC, daughter, Mary E. Miller (Bob Geolas) of Raleigh. She has 11 grandchildren and three, soon to be four, great-grandchildren. The family will celebrate Rosemary Miller's life at a noon mass on Feb. 21st at St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church, Sparta, NC, followed by a burial service in the family plot in Laurel Springs, NC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Poor Clares Monastery, 3501 Rocky River Drive, Cleveland, OH 44111. |

| Jan 29, 2019 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Dorothy Petras, mother of Joe, Class of 1968 and Jim, Class of 1970. Please keep the Petras family in your prayers. Dorothy "Dot" (Boguski) Petras passed away the evening of January 25th, just shy of her 90th birthday in March. Her grieving family takes solace in the fact that she lived a full, vital and independent life up until her last breath. The previous morning, she had been exercising at the gym with her daughter-in-law Kate and making her usual plans to get together with family the following day. She is most remembered for her gentle and selfless nature. She possessed a non-egotistical centeredness and lived according to her values, and faith. Asserting herself in a quiet way, she never needed to "shout" what she had found. A quote from Howard Thurman captures an aspect of her spirit, "A crown is placed over our heads that for the rest of our lives we are trying to grow tall enough to wear." Others were inspired to be their best selves around her. Born in Parma Ohio in the house her father built, she was one of 7 children of the late Boleslaw Bogucki and Katherine (Pruchniewicz) Boguski. She graduated from Lourdes Academy where she formed several life-long friendships. In 1949 she married Joseph "Joe" Petras, the love of her life and they enjoyed over 65 years of a blessed marriage together until his death in 2014. She lived in Parma most of her life, and after raising 4 children, shifted her attention to volunteer work at the Parma Hospital for over 35 years. Following Joe's death, she began a new chapter of her life by moving to Solvang California and living near her daughter Diane. She enjoyed the food, wine, weather and fashion of the Santa Ynez valley. Most of all though, she loved being with her family, especially when visited by her 7 granddaughters and 3 great grandchildren. Dorothy is survived by her children, Joe Petras and his fiancé Nancy McVay of Brookline/Plymouth, MA; Jim Petras and his wife Kate of Santa Ynez CA and Cleveland, OH; Diane Petras of Santa Ynez, CA, and Jack Petras and his wife Andrea of Newburyport, MA. She is also survived by her granddaughters Lisa, Anna, Sara, Molly, Claire, Elysia, and Julia, and 3 great-grandchildren Charlotte, Sullivan, and Owen. She leaves enduring memories of unconditional love and integrity for which her family will be forever grateful. If you have a memory, we invite you to share it on this site. We also know that in lieu of flowers, she would appreciate donations to The Solvang Senior Center or her church, Old Mission Santa Ines. |

Mrs. Sammon devoted many years of support to St. Edward High School as President of the Mother's Club and as a longtime member of Holy Cross Society. St. Ed's educated all six of her sons and her late husband Martin J. Sammon was a former Trustee. Please keep the Sammon and Schneider families in your prayers. ABIGAIL CLARE SAMMON (nee Schneider) April 20, 1935 - Dec 13, 2018 Abigail Clare Sammon passed peacefully after a brief illness on December 13th to be welcomed in heaven by a chorus of angels and a joyous reception, a day shy of the 23rd anniversary of her mother, Dorothy Schneider's, death on Dec 14,1995. Abigail lived a life oriented towards others. She married the love of her life, Martin J. Sammon (d. July 27, 1996) on April 23, 1955, and spent the first year and a half of marriage with Marty in the US Army where he served as a Lieutenant in Ulm, Germany. Marty and Abby were very much in love and compatible. As a result of that compatibility, they had 10 children in 12 years. All of her children were at her bedside as she slipped the bonds of this world to be welcomed in her new life by Marty and their son, Jeff (d. Oct. 20, 1982). Many have long been blessed with her extraordinary graces, poise, and wise counsel and relied on her in myriad ways to reflect saintly virtues. She was involved extensively beyond her family in her community and the Church. Abby devoted more than 35 years to the Christ Child Society of Cleveland, serving as its President and Treasurer, and serving on the National Board of the Christ Child Society, and the board of Catholic Charities of Cleveland. She was an active member of Saint Raphael Church, having served in many roles over the years, most recently as Lector. She devoted many years of support to St. Edward High School as President of the Mother's Club and as a longtime member of Holy Cross Society. St. Ed's educated all six of her sons and her late husband Martin J. Sammon was a former Trustee. She served as Foreman of the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury, and as President of the Cuyahoga County Women's Auxiliary of the Bar Association. In recent years, her interest in history, learned at the knee of her father, Cletus Schneider, had her serve as the Treasurer of the Bay Village Historical Society. Abigail was educated at Saint Augustine Academy (Class of 1953) and Barat College in Chicago. She earned a degree in finance from Baldwin Wallace College in 1982. Her whirlwind 2 week decline ended in a glorious departure with cause for both sorrow as well as celebration. We will forever honor her amongst the Saints as an example of how to live well, ladylike and generously for others as wife, mother, companion, confidant, grandmother, great-grandmother, volunteer and friend.

When he graduated in 1988, Jim moved to New York, took a job with Bozell advertising and bartended in various bars around the city. One of his gigs was aboard the Forbes corporate yacht, The Highlander, and he soon joined the crew full time, charting a life adventure that included sailings to Alaska, the Panama Canal and a key itinerary up the West coast of America, where the micro-brewery trend was just taking hold. When he left The Highlander, Jim followed his newfound passion for craft beer to Brooklyn Brewery, where he joined the sales team and found his calling. The same skills that made Jim an exceptional bartender made him an exemplary salesman: genuineness, integrity, passion and humor. Jim was an entrepreneur with a gift for understanding beverage industry and consumer trends and where they were going. He loved small brands with stories to tell, and he specialized in selling, distributing and creating those kinds of brands. Pipeline Brands was the first company he created to serve the small spirits brands he loved that were getting lost in the consolidations happening among the major distributorships. Gotham Artisanal was developed so cocktail-loving consumers could elevate their mixers, syrups and bitters to the level of the premium and super-premium spirits they were mixing them with. USA Beverage Company was the import and distribution arm meant to support his and his partner's own passion projects, including Bravewood Bourbon and Calligraphy Wines. Nearest and dearest to his heart was Pickett Brothers Beverage, and Pickett's Ginger Beer, a company he created with his two brothers, and ran with his youngest brother, Matt. From the modestly named "Magnificent Seven" in high school to his beverage industry friends, baseball and softball teams, golf buddies, and a tight-knit Maplewood crew, a friend of Jim's was a friend for life. Continuing the maritime theme set early in his career, Jim met his wife Heidi in 1992 at the Fall Ball aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid, the aircraft carrier turned Sea, Air & Space Museum. Jim and Heidi married in 2000. He loved his family deeply, fiercely and with great pride. Heidi and their two children, Lena and Riordan, were the center of his universe and every beat of his heart. Their golden doodle, Clementine, continues to wait for her best friend, Jim, to come home. Shortly before his death, Jim and two partners set to buy and reinvent an established bar in Maplewood, NJ known as O'Reilly's. Jim died a very happy man, content with his family and many friends, and excited to add "Bar Owner" to his list of accomplishments. Heidi and his partners plan to make sure his dream becomes a legacy. Those wishing to assist Jim's family at this time may visit the following sites: Meal Train: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/n7q5le, and GoFundMe College Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/lena-amp-riordan-pickett-college-fund. Heidi, Lena and Riordan will host a casual gathering of remembrance for Jim on Thursday, July 5, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Fellowship Hall at Prospect Presbyterian Church, 646 Prospect Street, Maplewood, NJ.

In recent years, he served as Patient Experience Officer for Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute and as a member of the Department of Bioethics. As an ethicist, he was a source of practical wisdom infused with compassion. Held in high regard by everyone who worked with him, Tony was a true role model to the generation of urology, microsurgery and ethics professionals he trained until he retired in 2012. Perhaps more important and impactful than his expertise was Tony's bedside manner, which embodied the human side of medicine. He always saw his patients as "people" first and practiced with passion, integrity and humility. While he was an amazing physician, he was even a better husband, father and grandfather. He never failed to make his family a priority and none of us doubt his deep love for us. We were blessed to learn many lessons from him over the years, among them: the importance of faith; that loving your spouse is the greatest gift you can give your kids; to listen as well as you speak; and to work hard and always be honest. Our parents had a love story that will live on forever in the generations to come. Our families are the greatest gifts from God, and all of God's most precious gifts must one day be returned. With heavy hearts full of sadness, love and gratitude, we entrust our father today to the Lord he faithfully served. A special thank you to the Ames Family Hospice in Westlake for their loving care and support. Funeral Mass Monday, November 13, St. Ladislas Church (2345 Bassett Rd., Westlake) at 12 Noon.

| Sep 26, 2017 | St. Edward High School 13500 Detroit Avenue Lakewood, Ohio 44107 P: 216-221-3776 F: 216-221-4609 W: www.sehs.net Dear Alumni: We've received further information below on visitation and the funeral mass for Brother Richard Gilman, C.S.C, Class of 1961. Please keep the Gilman family in your prayers. Brother Richard Baker Gilman, C.S.C. July 18, 1943 - September 24, 2017 Brother Richard Baker Gilman, C.S.C., age 74, died on September 24, 2017 at Dujarie House, in Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame, Indiana. He was born in Lakewood, Ohio, on July 18, 1943, the son of Robert and Alice (Healy) Gilman. He attended St. James Elementary School and St. Edward High School where he graduated magna cum laude in 1961. Richard must have been influenced and encouraged by the Holy Cross Brothers since he joined the Brothers a month after graduating. He went to Sacred Heart Juniorate in Watertown, Wisconsin in June 1961 and received the habit of the Brothers on August 15, 1961 at St. Joseph's Novitiate, Rolling Prairie, Indiana, and made his first profession of vows as a Holy Cross Brother on August 16, 1952. He traveled to Austin, Texas, to begin his college studies at St. Edward's University with success and graduated Summa cum laude in 1965 earning a bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics and was awarded a National Science Fellowship grant to continue advanced study the next year at Harvard University earning a Master of Science degree in Mathematics. Brother Richard said that his graduation present from Brother Donatus was a letter assigning him to teach in Ghana, for 5 years at St. Augustine's College in Cape Coast and 3 years at St. John's College in Sekondi. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1974, he pursued studies at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson Institute in bioinformatics and began a love affair with Archbishop Hoban High School in teaching challenging math courses for 11 years and developing an interest in administrative challenges through studies at the University of Dayton while serving as Principal of Archbishop Hoban High in 1986 and then its President in 1991. His scholarship and service culminated by earning a Ph.D. in Higher Educational Leadership. He was selected in 1992 to be the new President of Holy Cross College at Notre Dame. He was quoted, "I was graced to be the President of Holy Cross College to lead it to achieve baccalaureate status." There were expansions within the College's academic and campus needs, a role he fulfilled with ingenuity and a creative vision. His ideal for leadership was to empower others through steady enlightenment to bring satisfaction and success. A man of intellect and insight with a sound moral compass, Brother Richard was regularly called upon to serve on boards, the provincial council, general chapters and as an expert advisor and mentor. Along with his amazing mastery of facts and creative critical thinking, these gifts allowed him to accurately interpret the present and plan for a desired future in his role as president with ingenuity and creative vision. Brother Richard once said, "In the song 'Getting to Know You' from The King and I, we are told, "if you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught." As an educator of minds and hearts, he lived this message for over 50 years and grew in grace and wisdom while assisting others to do the same." Visitation will be held on Monday, October 2nd at St. Joseph Chapel, with viewing from 9:30am to 11:00am on the grounds of Holy Cross College at Notre Dame. The Mass of Resurrection will follow with interment afterward in St. Joseph's Cemetery of the Village. Kaniewski Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. Memorial contributions, in honor of Brother Richard Gilman, C.S.C., to support the mission and ministries of the Brothers may be sent to: Brothers of Holy Cross, Office of Development, P.O.

Catherine Ann Thurin, 80, passed away peacefully in the presence of her children at 5:24 pm on Tuesday, September 19th. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 8, 1937. She was the daughter of the late Thomas and Catherine (Staebler) Clancy. She was affectionately known to her Ohio family and friends as "Dee," a nickname given to her by her only brother and one that lasted a lifetime. Her brother, Daniel T. Clancy, and sister-in-law, Carol of Westlake, Ohio, survive. Her childhood was spent biking the streets and ice skating with her friends and classmates in Rocky River, Ohio. She was educated in the parochial Catholic schools, attending St. Christopher Grade School and graduated high school from St. Augustine Academy in Lakewood, Ohio. A registered nurse, she completed her clinical training at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati and then worked briefly in this capacity at Newton College in Massachusetts. On August 27, 1960, she married John P. Thurin of Canton, Ohio. Five children were born of their union - Martin Phillip (deceased August 11, 1981), Peter Francis (Jobie), Julie Marie (Joseph) Harmon, Quinn Thomas (Michelle), all of South Bend, and Shawn Marion (Adele) of Palm Harbor, Florida. In addition to her living children, she is survived by 11 grandchildren: Nicholas, Maddie and Will Thurin; Christian, Oliver, John and Lucy Harmon; Basil and Leo Thurin; Alex and Kelsey Thurin. After retiring from her job in the newborn nursery and postpartum unit at Memorial Hospital, she spent time employed as a nanny in the Washington, D.C., area. She volunteered for many years as a docent at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. She was also an active volunteer and a member of The Christ Child Society. Catherine enjoyed her early morning coffee while reading the local newspaper, fine chocolates (particularly those from Malley's candy store in Cleveland), historical reading (especially biographies of Harry Truman and Jacqueline Kennedy), Sunday car drives, and learning from adult courses offered at the Forever Learning Institute. She cared for several dogs and enjoyed their loyal canine companionship. She loved both domestic and international travel with a special interest in the country of Italy as well as in genealogical research of her Irish heritage. The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the staff at The Sanctuary at St. Paul's and Center for Hospice Care for their kind care of Catherine this past year when her health began to decline significantly. Both entities are invaluable assets to our community.

Dennis (Denny) A. Marcin, age 75, of Southport, NC, passed away on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. He was born in Cleveland, OH on April 24, 1942 to John and Mildred Marcin. The "Old Ball Coach" spent most of his life on a football field, from his playing days at Benedictine HS and Miami (Ohio) University to his 50 years of coaching at the high school, college, and professional level. Soon after graduating from Miami in 1964, Denny married Elizabeth (Betsey) Merritt on January 30, 1965, and together they had four children. Denny began his coaching career as an assistant at St. Edward HS in Lakewood, OH in 1964, and was head coach at St. Edward in 1972-73. From there, he joined the collegiate coaching ranks in 1974 at his alma mater, Miami University, where he stayed for 4 years before moving on to the University of North Carolina. He spent 10 years leading the UNC defense, which was followed by a 9-year stint at the University of Illinois. Denny made the jump to the NFL as an assistant coach with the New York Giants in 1997, and coached in Super Bowl XXXV. After 7 years with the Giants, he finished his coaching career with the New York Jets from 2004-2007. In 2003, Denny was inducted into the Miami University Cradle of Coaches, joining other greats who played and coached at his alma mater. While Denny coached numerous all-conference players and two NFL Hall of Famers, he treated all players, from walk-ons to all-stars, with respect and his special sense of humor. He greatly enjoyed catching up with his former players and following their careers, and retained a great memory of stories that he loved to share. After retiring from coaching, Denny and Betsey retired to Southport, NC. He received his Master Gardener certification and took immense pride in his lawn and garden. Denny was active as a volunteer with Kiwanis of Southport-Oak Island, Meals on Wheels, and with Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

| Jul 28, 2017 | Dear Alumni: Below is the death notice of Michael Faler, father of Eric Faler, Class of 2011. Please keep the Faler family in your prayers. MICHAEL THOMAS FALER (1957-2017) was simultaneously making a quadruple batch of Cincinnati chili, doing laundry, and painting the exterior of his oldest daughter's house when he died suddenly on July 19th, 2017 in Casper, Wyoming at the age of 59. Mike was very happy in the days leading up to his death. He fixed a leak in an old car, discovered Great Value Jalapeño Cheese Puffs, learned how to rough-in electrical wiring, went to his first rodeo, drank a variety of IPAs, walked the dogs at the park and played fetch with them in the river, baked cinnamon rolls and thin crust pizza from scratch, made plans to attend a concert with his wife, complained only minimally about taxes, and reviewed his eBay Watch List-- which included an early '90s Toyota Previa-- all while having a heart attack. Although Costco Wholesale Corporation's stock price (NASDAQ: COST) has been able to recover slightly since the news of "Duke Bargain-hunter's" death, his loss has been felt across the world; from Ohio, where he worked at Rockwell Automation for 17 years; to India, where he loved to visit family and coworkers, immerse himself in Indian culture, and eat with his hands; to Wyoming, where at least a dozen people and two mutts looked forward to his cooking and company each visit. Mike, an organ donor, left behind super-mom Susan, his wife of 31 years; his daughter Katelynd, an economist, and her husband Rahul, an engineer ("at least someone in the family is an engineer!"); his daughter Madeline, a multilingual musician and teacher; his son Eric, a foodie and United States Air Force plane mechanic; and his son Michael, a freshly graduated (and employed!) RN and cat lover. Mike's unexpected passing leaves open the debate about whether or not the phrases "power to the people", "stick it to the man", and "that's un-American" can be overused, but reminds us all to brush up on our CPR skills and appreciate "the scenic route" on family road trips. All are welcome to join in sharing memories at a gathering to remember Mike that will take place at Corrigan Craciun Funeral Home at 20820 Lorain Road, Fairview Park, Ohio 44126 on Saturday, July 29 from 2-4pm, with a reception to follow at the family's home at 21741 Overlook Drive, Fairview Park, Ohio 44126.

Hollo, 44, of Fairview Park, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, May 3, 2017. Alison was born on July 8, 1972. She attended St. Bernadette's where she played guitar in the church choir. Growing up, Alison loved dolls and babies. She loved holding brother Tim when he cried and taking her own real life "baby", brother Ryan, on walks. She played softball and always loved being outside in the sun. As a teen, Ali loved all things punk rock, including purple hair, jean jackets and her favorite bands, The Cure and Depeche Mode. She confidently marched to the beat of her own drum and always had an independent spirit. Alison graduated from Westlake High School in 1989. Ali was always a hard worker and enjoyed her jobs at Danny Boys Farm Market and the dry cleaners and would pin any money she found in people's pockets to their shirts to return to them. Her work ethic continued on into her 13 year career at Quadax, where she worked her way into the hearts of her co-workers and ultimately took on the role of Senior Manager of Client Development. She was grateful to work with a great group of friends, including her best friend, Mike. Alison loved her family and friends and she was so loved in return. Growing up on Noreen Drive with her siblings, Amy, Pat, Tim and Ryan, life was never boring. There were family vacations to Myrtle Beach, Disney World, Ocean City Maryland and Niagara Falls, Indian's games, Little Caesar's pizza on Friday nights, crawfishing in the metro parks, dressing up the boys as girls (aka Tanya and Ruth) and kisses from Casey puppies. Alison was always up for a party with her cousins. Many hours were spent together, including Sunday breakfast, hanging around the fire, having garage parties, watching Wheel of Fortune, vacations to the beach (she loved a good tan), jamming to her favorite tunes and just hanging out in the backyard laughing. Alison had an infectious laugh and a smile to brighten any room. Her love was selfless, especially when it came to her two true loves, Jack and Julia. Alison loved her niece and nephew more than anything and loved spoiling them. They loved their many trips to Target, having sleepovers, reading, playing games and just being together. Alison's courageous attitude and positive outlook on life were inspirational to everyone who knew her and even to those whom she just met. She did not let obstacles or adversities hold her down and she truly loved and lived life to the fullest. Whether soaking up the sun on the beach in Aruba, hanging out in her backyard with family and friends or spending time with Jack and Julia, Ali embraced every moment. She loved her sayings: "This is the life", "YOLO" and "Stick your sorries in a sack sister." were a few of her favorites. Most importantly, Alison was loving, generous and kind to everyone she met. She always looked on the bright side of life. She was our sunshine, and her light will shine on forever. She is survived by her parents, Ron and Noreen (nee O'Malley) Hollo; her siblings, Amy Geiser (Tommy), Patrick, Tim (Melissa), and Ryan (Katie); and her niece, Julia, and nephew, Jack. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Jake and Babe O'Malley; paternal grandparents, Julia and Gene Hollo; and uncle, Jimmy O'Malley.

Please keep the Miller family in your prayers. Stephen Charles "Steve" Miller of Raleigh, North Carolina, beloved family man and retired federal agent, passed away unexpectedly after a cardiac event April 6, 2017. He was 68, and is survived by his wife of 40 years, Toni Miller of Raleigh, son Colin Matthew Miller and daughter-in-law Amanda Selah Miller of Durham, daughter Kate Marie Peters and son-in-law Mike Peters of Denver, CO, grandson Owen Reid Peters of Denver, and a granddaughter, Colin and Amanda's first child, due at the end of May. Also grieving are his mother, Rosemary Ryan Miller of Wake Forest, NC, brothers Jeff Miller (Maureen Miller) of Athens, GA, Peter Miller (Ann Miller) of Hickory, NC, and sister Mary Miller (Bob Geolas) of Raleigh, as well as a large extended family of nephews, nieces and cousins. Born in Easton, PA, to the late Vernon Reid "Pete" Miller and Rosemary Miller, Steve grew up in Lakewood, OH, graduating from St. Edward High School. A brief stint as a clerk for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Cleveland OH ignited a passion for government service and criminal justice to which he dedicated the rest of his life. He joined the U.S. Army in 1968, serving four years as a counterintelligence agent during the Vietnam War. He returned to the United States and became a police officer in New Orleans, then moved to California and after earning a B.A. in Political Science from California State University, Northridge, launched the beginning of a 30-year career as a criminal investigator and special agent with the U.S. Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General. He transferred to Raleigh in 1989, where he specialized in investigating white collar crime. A highlight of his decorated career was being assigned to the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and serving as liaison between JTTF and the Muslim community. Steve loved his work, and after retiring, taught and developed curriculum around Homeland Security issues for North Carolina Central University. Well-read and reasoned, never shy of opinion, he enjoyed writing and publishing editorial pieces about security issues and international politics. He was also an active volunteer for the USO of North Carolina in Raleigh. Yet what truly defined his existence was his deep, fierce love for his family. Toni was the center of his world. They met shortly after his return from Vietnam, and throughout four decades of marriage, he told her every single day that he loved her. Fatherhood was his most joyful accomplishment. He rarely missed a school or sporting event, and enjoyed even more the close relationships he shared with Colin and Kate after they reached adulthood. He wielded a whisk as skillfully as he did a firearm, turning out innumerable meals for his extended family, especially birthday cakes. Funeral services are Tuesday, April 11, 2017 at Renaissance Funeral Home in Raleigh, 7615 Six Forks Road. Viewing begins at 12 noon, with a chapel service at 1 p.m. and interment immediately following at Oakwood Cemetery, 701 Oakwood Avenue, Raleigh NC 27601.

Please keep the Hughes' family in your prayers. PAUL FRANCIS HUGHES was born on January 22, 1960 and he left this life on March 22, 2016. Paul was the devoted husband of Robin (Miller); the loving father of Timothy and Elizabeth; the beloved son of Martin and Natalie Hughes; the inseparable brother of Carl and Martin; the caring uncle to John, Makela and Patrick; and the brother-in-law of Wayland Miller (Adie), David Miller and Sandra Miller (Tuddy). Paul was a systems analyst in security operations with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. He was a valuable liaison with counterparts in other Federal Reserve Banks. He also served one year with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington. He was trained in Information Technology at both Miami University and Ohio State University, and in an earlier position with the Court of Claims of Ohio he made notable contributions in that judicial body's information technology system. He was also previously a computer consultant to the Fahey Bank of Marion, Ohio, and he served for a time as a member of the board of that financial institution. Paul Hughes was born in Rocky River Ohio to a father, Martin, who was a national leader of organized labor, and a mother who was a dedicated kindergarten teacher. Paul was a wrestler at St. Edward High School in the days when that Lakewood school fielded some of the nation's best scholastic wrestling teams. He also played hockey at that school. He graduated from St. Edward in 1978 and from The Ohio State University, class of 1984. He grew up to be a convivial young man, one who found notable pleasure in nature. He made many trips to the Canadian wilderness and found great enjoyment in his camping experiences. He greatly enjoyed wild animals and also his young animals at home. His mother, Natalie, recalls, that her youngest son had a powerful desire to please others, and that Paul's Christmas gifts were always the first ones under the Christmas tree. Not long after the turn of the millennia, Paul was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He was the father of young children when he was afflicted, and he suffered grievously for the next decade and more. In commenting on his brother's life, Carl Hughes said, "Paul was a loving and incredibly patient man who exhibited a wonderful spirit even in the midst of his terrible suffering. I really do see him as heroic. I also know that he was sustained throughout by the Christian faith he learned at his mother's knee." Paul's funeral service will be at Bethesda on the Bay Lutheran Church, 28607 Wolf Rd., Bay Village, at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 25, 2016. Friends will be received for one hour before the service.

Stephen Gerard Gombar was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and charitable man. He was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania on November 13, 1952. Steve passed on to be with our Lord on Sunday, December 13, 2015 after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Violet, and four children: daughter Elizabeth G. Nuno and husband, David; son Matthew and wife Josie; son Justin and wife Courtney of Beaver Creek, Colorado; son Clayton; seven grandchildren and brother Mark Gombar and wife Diane of Cleveland, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his father Stephen J. Gombar and mother Helen J. Gombar. Steve was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania but grew up in Lakewood, Ohio. He met the love of his life, Violet, when he was in high school where they were introduced by a mutual friend through Junior Achievement. Steve told friends right away that Violet would one day be his wife. After Steve graduated with a Bachelors' of Science degree in business and marketing from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Steve and Violet wed on May 14, 1977 in Lakewood, Ohio. They began their life together in Houston, Texas. Steve never knew a stranger and was always making friends. His energetic personality and enthusiasm translated to his work. With almost 40 years in the media industry, Steve was well established in his career. He was well entrenched in the Houston market having worked at agencies McCann Erikson and Media Concepts for 13 years before establishing his own company, The Gerard Agency, in 1989. His expertise in his craft was widely recognized and highly respected as he was notably "one of the best" media planners and buyers in the business and clients often said as much. Steve had a charitable heart volunteering and raising funds for several organizations in Houston. He was heavily involved with the Alief Hastings and Alief Taylor Athletic Booster Clubs where he served in various roles including President. His charitable passions ran deepest in support for the Houston Furniture Bank where he served as a Board Member and was involved in some capacity since its' founding in 1992. Additionally, Steve provided pro-bono media services to area non-profits and served in the social ministries at St. Justin Martyr Catholic Church. He was also a member of the Houston Media Alliance. Steve had a creative mind and was always someone looking for a solution to a problem or how to make something better. His passion was persistent and he was always determined to have the last word. He was a skilled musician and piano player who enjoyed composing music. He loved a great musical, the beach and "Dancing With the Stars." He found beauty in old things and collected sea glass. Steve loved his family tremendously and would do anything for his children: never missing a baseball, football game or dance performance; driving thousands of miles to visit, pack and move kids (sometimes not even his own) across the country, state or city; helping whenever there was a need no matter how small or large. We will miss your energy, passion, advice and love for all of eternity. A visitation will be held Wednesday, December 16, 2015 from 5-8 pm with a Rosary at 7:00pm at Forest Park Funeral Home.

The Honorable Francis Marion Allegra Born in Cleveland. OH on Oct. 14, 1957 Departed on Aug. 27, 2015 and resided in Vienna, VA. Funeral Service: Sept. 12, 2015 (Vienna) Memorial Service: Sept. 26, 2015 (Cleveland) [tentative] On Thursday, August 27, 2015, The Honorable Francis Marion Allegra died at home after a long battle with brain cancer, surrounded by wife, Regina Esposito Allegra, and sons, Domenic and Vincent. He is also survived by parents Frank and Mary Allegra, and sister Christine Allegra of Cleveland, Oh. Early Life: Fran grew up in Cleveland and graduated from St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio. He graduated from Borromeo College of Ohio in 1978, with a degree in philosophy, and then, in 1981, received his juris doctor (magna cum laude) from Cleveland-Marshall Law School at Cleveland State University. Following graduation, he served as a law clerk to Chief Trial Judge Philip R. Miller of the U.S. Court of Claims from 1981 to 1982. From 1982 to 1984, Fran was an associate at the Cleveland law firm of Squire, Sanders and Dempsey, where he specialized in tax and bond work. In 1984, he joined the Appellate Section of the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. From 1984 through 1994, he was an appellate litigator, handling many of the Tax Division's most complex cases in Federal courts of appeals throughout the country. During this period, Fran steadily rose through the ranks of the Tax Division ranks, becoming first a Special Assistant to the Assistant Attorney General of the Tax Division and then Counselor to the Assistant Attorney General of the Tax Division. In 1994, Fran was appointed Counselor to the Associate Attorney General (the third-highest-ranking official at the Justice Department). Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Deputy Associate Attorney General. In the latter role, Judge Allegra worked with the Tax and Antitrust Divisions, as well as with the National Economic and Domestic Policy Councils at the White House. Judicial Career: On October 22, 1998, at the age of forty-one, Judge Allegra was appointed by President Bill Clinton as judge serving on the United States Court of Federal Claims. Over his judicial career, he issued more than 250 published opinions, on topics including tax, government contracts, intellectual property, takings, and military and civilian employment. From 2003 through 2010, Judge Allegra was a member of the Information Technology Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States. Judge Allegra also was an adjunct professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, where he taught Litigation with the Federal Government and a seminar on sovereign immunity. In 2012, Georgetown awarded him the Charles Fahy Distinguished Adjunct Professor Award, which is given annually to an adjunct professor who has made an extraordinary contribution to the Law Center. Judge Allegra was also frequent lecturer at Federal Judicial Center programs and at other programs involving intellectual property, tax, government contracts and the use of technology in judging. He was considered an expert on issues involving electronic discovery. In the Fall of 2013, Judge Allegra co-authored (with D B Garrie), "Plugged in: Guidebook to Software and the Law" (Thomson Reuters). Mineral Collector: Fran had an extensive mineral/gem collection and donated pieces to the Smithsonian Institute in Wash DC. Fran first became interested in minerals around the age of eight. He had a Mattel rock-polishing kit which he used feverishly, and his father would drive him out to North Olmsted to a small mineral shop where he acquired his first specimens. He also bought specimens from Lee Lapidary on the west side and Fred Harvey's shop in Terminal Tower. He soon became a regular visitor to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, studying the minerals on display. After establishing himself as a collector, he also wrote a column—"Legal Nuggets"—for the Mineralogical Record, in which he brought his long experience to bear on legal matters involving minerals, mineral collecting and mineral dealing.

Tom was a well-known supporter of several local charities, most notably serving as President of The Florence Fuller Child Development Center. During the holidays he took great joy in portraying Santa Claus, riding in on a bright red fire truck, delighting of all the children at Florence Fuller. Tom had a love of the great outdoors. From deep-sea fishing off the coast to hiking in Montana, Tom loved the grandeur of nature and the challenges it posed. It is not hard to imagine then how The Boy Scouts of America became a central part of his life. Having seen his son go thru the scouting program, he continued on, founding Troop 356 of Boca Raton.

As scoutmaster he empowered the boys to be great leaders and inspired them with his infectious passion for scouting. Tom will be remembered by those who loved him as a man of cheerful service, dedicated to his ideals and family. A man of large personality but whom never passed up an opportunity to help a friend.

She worked as a medical secretary and retired from Fairview Hospital in 1999. An irreplaceable cook and movie buff, Dorothy's favorite pastimes were gardening, antique collecting and family. A true Cleveland sports fan she unfailingly supported the Cleveland Indians, Browns and Cavaliers and Ohio State Buckeyes. She was an avid fan of all her children's and granchildren's extracurricular activities. Dorothy has been an active member of the Red Hat Society for many years, where her dynamic fashion sense shone brightly. She enjoyed socializing at luncheons and activities at the North Olmsted Senior Center. No holiday was complete without her, and whoever was with her on Thanksgiving or Christmas felt like they were at home. It is impossible to sum up a person's life in one paragraph, but if you had to take away a message from Dorothy it would be to always love and appreciate each other.

| Nov 4, 2014 | Dear Alumni: Listed below is the death notice for Loretta Marie Weisensell, mother of Paul Weisensell, Class of 1973, and Jack Weisensell, Class of 1977. Please keep the Weisensell family in your prayers. LORETTA MARIE WEISENSELL (“Merkâ€) passed away peacefully on October 27, 2014, after a long struggle with dementia and other physical ailments. She is finally together again in heaven with her dear husband, Paul G. Weisensell. Loretta was born in Cleveland, Ohio on July 18, 1920. Her mother, Theresa, died shortly after she was born, and she was raised by her grandparents, Anton and Hannah Merk, who adopted her, in a household that included her cousins, Richard, James and Elsie Merk (“Chiocchioâ€), all of whom she considered as siblings for the remainder of her life. She grew up in St. Ignatius Parish on Ignatius Avenue in Cleveland. Her father, Anton, was the caretaker for the parish buildings and grounds. She attended St. Joseph Academy for two years and graduated from St. Stephen Commercial High School. On November 26, 1942, she married Paul G. Weisensell. While Paul and Loretta knew each from St. Ignatius, they started dating when they went on a double date with another young man and lady. Before the men picked up the women, Loretta told her friend that she was “not getting in the back seat with either of them.†The two guys flipped a coin to see who would drive. Paul G. lost the coin toss and ended up driving and the rest is history. By the way, the other couple also married. Loretta and Paul were married for 36 years before his death in 1978. Loretta worked at Fries & Schuele's Department Store on West 25th Street in Cleveland with her “sister†Elsie. She also worked at the Cleveland Tank Plant during WWII – while Paul served in the U.S. Army in the Battle of the Bulge. She later worked at White Consolidated as a comptroller, and at Harsax Realty. She continued to work, at least part time, well into her 80’s at St. Patrick’s West Park Credit Union. She was witty and sassy and classy. She was never afraid to speak her mind. She was fiercely independent and continued to live alone until June of 2013. She still had her driver’s license and drove to the bank, grocery store, hair dresser, etc. until age 91. Loretta and Paul adopted two sons – Paul and Jack – who they loved dearly. Loretta continued to love children – especially young children and babies – until the very end. She absolutely loved being a grandmother and adored all of her grandchildren: Jessica, Jason, Jordan, Aaron, and Brian. Loretta enjoyed being a host and preparing food for and serving it to her friends and family. She enjoyed hosting holiday celebrations which always included lots of shrimp cocktail from Seven Seas on Lorain Avenue in Cleveland. Many have fond memories of time spent in the Weisensell household. Loretta also enjoyed dancing and playing cards. She enjoyed drinking beer and eating potato chips, and also eating ice cream. Loretta was just a pleasure to be around and virtually all of those who met her are glad that she was a part of their lives. Loretta was preceded in death by her husband, Paul G. Weisensell, her parents, and all of her siblings, as well as her grandson, Aaron Weisensell. She is survived by her two sons, Jack (Barb) Weisensell of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and Paul (Becky) Weisensell of Roanoke, Virginia, grandchildren, Jessica, Jason, Jordan, and Brian Weisensell, two great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. Loretta’s family wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks to the staff and administration at Traditions at Bath aka National Church Residences, and especially those working in the memory care unit there who so thoughtfully and lovingly took care of Loretta for the past year or so.

His final commission before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel, was as 2nd in Command Chief Trial Defense Attorney for the European Theatre. Walter's most important role, however, was being an extraordinary husband, father, uncle, brother, brother-in-law, and friend to all. Walter was a humble man, larger than life, who lit up any room that he entered. Family was the most important thing to Walter. His love of his faith, his country, the military, the Law, music, and academics also knew no bounds. He most loved his vacations by the sea with his family, exercising at "The Shack," and playing catch in the front yard. His life was a gift to us all and he made you feel like you were a gift to him. The family wishes to thank the staff at OSU Hospital for the tender care Walter received, with special thanks to Ashley, Jerry, and Scott. A private Catholic Mass will be held in Cleveland.

Born Dec. 12, 1946 in Cleveland, OH., to the late Richard C. and Patricia Z. Robison, Jeff was extremely dedicated to his family, his career in higher education and professional and personal philanthropy. As the second oldest of six children, Jeff showed dedication to hard work at an early age, paying his own tuition Saint Edward's High School in Lakewood, OH., so that he could pursue another great passion there - playing football. After graduating high school, Jeff was accepted to Ohio University in Athens, where he joined the ROTC to pay for school and walked on to the university's football team. Jeff earned a starting position his sophomore year and, ultimately, a full athletic scholarship. A proud member of the undefeated 1968 MAC Championship team, Jeff earned an NCAA All American Honorable Mention before graduating in 1969.

From there, Jeff accepted a position with the University of Florida as Associate Director of University Development. After eight years of soliciting major donations for the University of Florida, Jeff returned to his Alma Mater, Ohio University, as Associate Vice President for Development, where he oversaw the implementation of the University's first major fundraising campaign - raising $132 million in a $100 million campaign. In 1994, Jeff accepted the position of President of the Florida State University Foundation, where during his 11-year tenure he implemented and executed a $630 million fundraising campaign. Before retiring in 2012, Jeff worked as a primary academic fundraiser at several universities, including Case Western Reserve University and St. Thomas University. Over a four decade long career in academic fundraising, Jeff raised more than $1.7 billion for higher education. Upon retiring, Jeff worked as a consultant and began devoting substantial time to volunteer work for the Miami Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian Ad Litem program. A lifelong devoted Catholic, Jeff also volunteered as a Eucharistic Minister in local hospitals for those too sick to attend church services. An avid boater, Jeff spent many happy days on the water with family and friends. He also enjoyed volunteering his time at Miami's Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

| Jun 9, 2014 | Fellow Alumni, I have been asked to send out the death notice listed below for Brother Thomas Michael Shaughnessy, C.S.C., Class of 1953, to his classmates and the members of the classes of 1954, 1955, and 1956. Please keep Br. Thomas and the Shaughnessy family in your prayers. Brother Thomas Michael Shaughnessy, C.S.C. May 4, 1936 – June 6, 2014 Brother Thomas Michael Shaughnessy, C.S.C., age 78, died on June 6, 2014 at Dujarie House, Holy Cross Village, in Notre Dame, Indiana. He was born in Lakewood, Ohio, the son of John and Coletta (Morgahan) Shaughnessy. He grew up there and attended St. Luke Elementary School and St. Edward High School, where he was a member of its first graduating class in 1953. He attended the University of Notre Dame for a year and transferred to Western Reserve University in 1954 where he studied for two years. He recalled the influence that the Holy Cross Brothers had on him and decided in June 1956 to enter the juniorate program at Watertown, Wisconsin. He began his novitiate training at Rolling Prairie in August 1956 and pronounced his first vows as a Brother of Holy Cross on August 16, 1957. He returned to resume his studies at the University of Notre Dame and graduated in June 1959. Tom taught at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron for a year and then joined the faculty at Father Gibault School in Terre Haute, IN where he worked for 2 years. In 1962 he did graduate work at the College of Our Lady of the Lake in San Antonio and earned a master’s degree in social work in 1964, which was the foundation for the generous life he would lead in a variety of roles. Over the years he held administrative positions at Gibault School in Terre Haute and St. Charles Boys Home in Milwaukee. He was best known for 30+ years of service and leadership in social work in Terre Haute, Mishawaka, and South Bend, while working with various organizations. He also served a year in social work centers in Stockton, California and in Bellingham, Washington. In each of his positions, he helped make changes to augment programs in community service, family abuse treatment, marriage preparation, and counseling. His most satisfying effort was to help establish the Holy Cross Counseling Services in South Bend. His generous life of serving those in need also included his Holy Cross Community. Tom served as secretary of the Midwest Provincial Council from 1982-1985. He was the efficient and caring director of Dujarie House from 1991-1999. Then was the business manager for the residents of Schubert Villa for two years. In 2000, became the superior of the community at Columba Hall for six years where he instituted a number of programs to enhance the spirit and atmosphere. He provided great care and sensitivity to the residents and visitors of the ‘Community House.’ He was noted for looking out for the welfare and physical health of the elderly or disabled Brothers. At that time he served on the province committee for the development of the senior retirement community which became the major complex now known as Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame. His leadership skills often came into play as he was the Chairman of the Board of Holy Cross Village for 6+ years and involved with the multi-million dollar development of the Village. Because of his life of service to others, he must have had a large and generous heart. This was seen in his contacts with his immediate and extended Shaughnessy family who corresponded, visited, and treasured Uncle/Cousin Tom. Many enjoyed his ability to get Notre Dame football tickets. That generous heart was especially noted in his close ties with his St. Edward High classmates. He helped organize reunions for them to come to Dujarie House to visit and reminisce with Brothers who taught them, such as Br John William Donoghue and Br Eduardo Michalik. A week ago, Tom was planning to attend the funeral of a classmate, James Roddy, who passed away in Cleveland. He was looking forward to seeing old friends. But that generous heart of his has been weakening from attacks. Recently, Thomas commented to one Brother about his health telling him,"I’m ready to go!†On Tuesday the 3rd, he experienced another heart attack and went to the hospital. Family members came to visit. The doctors told him he had a low probability of success with bypass surgery. Tom decided to receive hospice care at Dujarie House. He was brought there by ambulance last Friday and passed away just as he was being helped from the gurney to his bed. May he now rest in eternal peace. Visitation will be held on Saturday, June 14th, 2014 at St. Joseph Chapel from 9:30am to 11:00am of Holy Cross College at Notre Dame. The Mass of Resurrection will then follow at 11:00am with interment afterward in St. Joseph’s Cemetery of the Village. Kaniewski Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. Memorial contributions, in honor of Brother Thomas Michael Shaughnessy, C.S.C., to support the mission and ministries of the Brothers may be sent to: Brothers of Holy Cross, Office of Development, P.O. Box 460, Notre Dame, IN 46556. |

| Apr 29, 2014 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for Anthony Gumina “Tonyâ€, Class of 1976, and brother of Frank Gumina, Class of 1968. Please keep the Gumina family in your prayers. ANTHONY GUMINA "Tony" age 56. Beloved husband of Teresa (nee Smith); proud and loving father of Georgeann, Catherine Rose, and Madeline; dearest son of Carl and Martha (both deceased), and loving brother of Carleen Gumina Broberg (Bob), and Frank, and dear uncle and friend of many. Tony attended St. Edward High School and in 1979 he moved to Las Vegas and began his career in the casino industry. Due to a combination of great intelligences, infectious charisma and larger than life personality Tony's achievements were anything but ordinary. In 1990 Tony patented a concept for Texas Holdem Lottery ticket. He began working for Hartford based MDI where he licensed popular brands like Wheel of Fortune and Harley Davidson. In 1999 he was introduced to the late Ray Charles which began a lasting friendship and business relationship, including creating a slot machine that could be played by the blind. After Ray's passing in 2004 Tony served as a pallbearer. At that time Tony formed the Ray Charles Marketing Group and licensed his music and likeness for the next seven years. Tony also served as executive producer for the documentary "Ray Charles America". In 2012 Tony began working to bring events to the country's largest indoor convention center, The IX Center. He, most recently, spearheaded the Pro Foot Ball Hall of Fame FanFest. If life were measured in experiences rather than years, Tony out lived us all; slow dancing with Beyonce at the Grammys, riding in a Mardi Gras float with Harry Connick Jr., producing commercials with Terry Bradshaw, Jerry Rice, Warren Moon, Barry Sanders and Joe Namath and traveling enough to reach the million mile club are just a handful of examples of what life looks like when you really live every single day. He was truly a force and deeply loved by all who knew him. Despite his many professional accomplishments, if you were to ask Tony what he is most proud of the answer would be his three daughters. He was a wonderful father who instilled in his children a strong work ethic, unwavering loyalty to friends and family and a relentless passion for life. It is likely because of this passion all three Gumina girls knew how to decant wine, eat an oyster and parlay a football bet at a very early age. They adored him.

He graduated from Corpus Christi Elementary School and attended Manhattan Prep High School for two years before the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio where he completed high school at St Edward and went on to graduate from John Carroll University with a BSS degree. He completed MA work in Educational Administration at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. A member of the ROTC Pershing Rifles, Bill was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant entering the US Army in June 1960. He began military service in the 3rd Armored Cavalry at Fort Meade, Maryland, and deployed with that unit to Kaiserslautern, Germany during the Berlin Wall build-up. Several years later, he transferred to the Transportation Corps serving in a variety of assignments including Vietnam. Following his return, he taught management classes at the Army Transportation School at Ft Eustis, VA for five years. After a tour in Korea, he took a three-year assignment in Izmir, Turkey as the Military Port Operations Officer following which he went on to Pirmasens, Germany to take on the duties of Community Services Officer managing a three-year project to renovate military billets.

He possessed a strong love and appreciation of the arts – opera, theatre and music, especially – which gave him great joy. He believed it important that the arts be a large part of family life. Music had always been an important part of his life. He began singing in his church / school choir while in elementary school, and was a member of choirs and glee clubs throughout his life including singing with a group at Mt St Vincent. He also loved dancing – he and his wife were avid ballroom dance partners. He listened to recorded music constantly. His hobbies included reading, woodworking, home renovation, kayaking, hunting, fishing, camping, travelling, photography, gardening, collecting travel books, and viewing award-winning movies. He instructed the family in the fine points of all his interests and taught all his children the fine art of home maintenance, repair, and renovation with patience and encouragement. His motto was “No Rain – No Rainbowsâ€. Bill’s patience, acceptance, faith, hope and trust in a Loving God strengthened him to accept the rigors of Parkinson’s Disease with a positive “Thumbs Up†attitude daily. He found joy in each moment in time and relaxed with prayer and music. He succumbed to the side effects of Parkinson’s Disease and will always live in the hearts of family and those he met along the way.

| Aug 7, 2013 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for Mary Ann Boland, mother of Gerard Boland, Class of 1972. Please keep the Boland family in your prayers. MARY ANN BOLAND (nee Pesta), March 20, 1939 - July 24, 2013, died peacefully in her home, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She struggled for two years with ovarian cancer before finally succumbing to the illness. Mary Ann was a vibrant and courageous woman who lived life to the fullest. Born in Youngstown, OH., Mary Ann was the second child and only daughter of Paul and Mary Pesta, who had recently emigrated to the United States from the former Czechoslovakia. When Mary Ann was three, the family moved to Cleveland. She graduated from John Adams High School in 1957 and attended Fenn College before starting work as a secretary at B.F. Goodrich Chemical Company. In 1961, Mary Ann met and married Harry E. Boland, who worked in sales at B.F. Goodrich. Together they raised seven children and travelled the world as Harry's job took the family to live in Australia (1972-1978), the Netherlands (1978-1982) and Hong Kong (1982-1986). Mary Ann was always civic-minded, and started a lifelong commitment to community service when she became a "candy striper" at St. Luke's Hospital at the age of fourteen. Wherever where she lived, Mary Ann served her community in a multitude of ways. In 1986, Harry and Mary Ann settled in Bath Township, OH. Mary Ann began working part-time for Leadership Akron, and pursued a number of volunteer activities. She was a docent at the Akron Art Museum, served as both committee chairman and secretary for the Akron chapter of the Arthritis Foundation Advisory Board, was 2nd Vice President for the Akron Area Council of Churches board, and tutored students through Project: LEARN of Summit County for many years. In 1989, Mary Ann was promoted to Assistant Director of Leadership Akron, and ultimately became Executive Director in 1994. She threw herself into that role with tremendous gusto, and expanded the program through creativity, grant writing, and fundraising. In addition, Mary Ann continued volunteering for such organizations as the Akron Symphony, the Akron City Club and Heart to Heart Communications. In recognition of her years of steadfast service in the community, she was awarded an Honorary Alumni Award by The University of Akron in 2005. Mary Ann attempted to retire in 2005 but it just didn't take. She went on to work at Welty Building Corporation, Heart to Heart Communications, and St. Bernard Parish before finally deciding to relax in 2010. Of all the roles Mary Ann filled throughout the years, none satisfied her more than being a grandmother. Mary Ann leaves behind seventeen grandchildren, now ranging in age from 42 to 9, and she enjoyed spoiling them all to the best of her ability. In doing so, she created lasting and wonderful memories with all of them. She loved hosting holiday dinners and family gatherings, and never tired of the sound of grandchildren running through her house. Mary Ann was an avid reader, and most enjoyed motivational and self-help books. She was always up-to-date on current events, and loved reading the newspaper each day with her coffee and scones. She was a knowledgeable gardener who delighted in the beauty of her flowers and enjoyed growing fresh herbs. She was forever trying out new recipes and sharing them with her family. She loved to travel and was thrilled that she had been able to see so much of the world. Throughout her illness, Mary Ann commented often that she had "a great life," and she was grateful for her many blessings. Sadly, Mary Ann lost her husband Harry last September, one month shy of their 51st wedding anniversary. She was also preceded in death by her parents and her brother Joseph (d. 1969); her daughter Jo Ann (d. 1994) and son Harry Edward, Jr. (d. 1999). She is survived by her children, Gerard (Deidre) Boland of Bathurst, Australia; Margaret O'Toole (Jack) of Hudson, Ohio; Jane Boland of Sorrento, Australia, Paul (Angela) Boland of Wadsworth, Ohio; and Kate (Mike) Dietry of Waunakee, Wisconsin. Mary Ann's beloved grandchildren are: Courtney Boland, Elaine (Sean) McFadden and Greg Boland; Laura and Dan Boland; Sean (Lisa) Lovass and Sam Lovass; Miranda, Sebastian¸ Grace, Charlotte, Dominic, Bridget, and Matthias Boland; as well as Brandt, Parker and Evan Dietry. The family would like to thank the staff of the Visiting Nurse Service and the Justin T. Rogers Hospice Care Center for their care and compassion during Mary Ann's illness.

| May 31, 2013 | Fellow Alumni, I was informed today of the passing of Ruth Ann Bennett, mother of Robert Bennett, Class of 1978, and grandmother of John Bennett, Class of 2006 and Ryan Bennett, Class of 2012. Listed below is the death notice. Please keep the Bennett family in your prayers. RUTH ANN BENNETT (nee Dooley) died Tuesday, May 21, 2013 in her Cleveland home where she had been under hospice care since suffering a stroke May 6. Ruth Ann had been in failing health for the past several months as the trauma caused by a brain aneurysm she suffered more than a decade ago finally began to win a battle that she had successfully overcome for years. She celebrated her 76th birthday on May 5 with her husband of 54 years, Robert T. Bennett, Chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, her children, grandchildren and twin great grandsons Mason and Riley. Wakes will held in Cleveland and Columbus with a Funeral Mass to be held at Holy Cross Church in Columbus where Ruth Ann attended Mass as a student at St. Joseph Academy. Ruth Ann was born in Marceline, Missouri, but moved throughout the World War II years with her family as required by her father's work on the Manhattan Project. After the War, the family moved to Columbus where she was later to meet her husband Bob. The couple moved to a home in Strongsville, a Cleveland suburb, in January of 1961 following Bob's graduation from the Ohio State University. She quickly made Cleveland home, where she raised the couple's two children, Robert T. Bennett, Jr. and Rose Marie Bennett-Yonek and eventually kept her loving eye and steady hand on the lives of her grandchildren, Marine Second Lt. John Bennett, granddaughter Jaclyn Bennett and grandson Ryan Bennett. Ruth Ann also had a successful career as a Realtor for Lawrence Realtors in Cleveland, but outside her family and her dog Maddie, her considerable affection and determination was channeled into raising money for UH Rainbow & Babies Hospital Circle of Friends Program. She was a founder of the program and became well known for reminding contributors that it was all "for the babies." Ruth Ann (nee Dooley) was proud of her elevated position in her family where she ranked as the oldest of 63 grandchildren and played an active role in organizing family reunions. Much to her delight, the reunions were held surrounding her family's Missouri farmlands every five years. She also remained close to her sisters Ce Ce Matyac and her husband Daniel, Dottie Sue Rice and husband Steven and brother Joseph Dooley and his wife Barbara. Her sisters and brother all reside in the Columbus area. Ruth Ann is also survived by her daughter Rose's husband John and son Bobby's companion Becky Vardian. Her father, Alonzo G. Dooley and mother, Loretta Quinn, as well as a younger brother, Creigh Dooley, precede Ruth Ann in death. The family will receive friends in Cleveland from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday May 28 at the BERRY & MARTEN'S Funeral Home, 26691 Detroit Rd., Westlake, OH (1 mile West of Columbia Rd.) and in Columbus Wednesday May 29 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the EGAN-RYAN Funeral Home, 403 E. Broad St. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. May 30, at Holy Cross Church at 204 S. Fifth Street, Columbus, OH 43215.

After college, Chuck served in the National Guard in Fort Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma and summer boot camps in Grayling, Michigan.

| Jan 15, 2013 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for Joseph Lang, Class of 1955, grandfather of William Rouse, Class of 2013. Please keep the Lang family in your prayers. Joseph (Joe) Lang of Fairview Park and North Olmsted died January 10, 2013. He grew up in Lakewood where his parents were founding parishioners of St. James Church; he attended St. James school, was an altar server, and sang in the Boys Choir. He attended high school at St. Edward and graduated in 1955. He put himself through John Carroll University by caddying at Westwood Country Club in the summer and working as a tower operator on the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad, earning both undergraduate and graduate degrees. He began his teaching career at Elyria Catholic in 1960. Although he originally wanted to be a priest, he met and married Marjorie Ford in 1962, and they began their family of 5 children in 1963. In 1963, he joined the social studies department at North Olmsted where he taught geography, Civics, government, American and World History at both the junior high and high school level until his retirement in 1998. During his career, he also served as department chair and summer school principal. His annual reviews, discovered upon his passing, were highlighted with positive comments from students, parents and peers. Oftentimes, when he was out with his family, he would be approached by former students who would stop to say how much they learned from him. On a recent Thanksgiving, he received a call from a former student letting him know what a positive impact he had made on his life. He combined his love of teaching and travel early in his career when he and his wife (a nurse) chaperoned high school students on 2 consecutive summers traveling for 6 weeks through Europe. When his oldest daughter was in high school, the family hosted Carmen Ruano, a foreign exchange student from Guatemala. Carmen later returned to live with the Langs for several years while she studied at Tri-C. Their ties remained strong with Joe and his family attending Carmen’s wedding in Guatemala in 1989. Later, he and his wife hosted Carmen’s daughter, Ana Sofia, and nephews, Javier and Sebastian, for a month while they attended classes at Lakewood Catholic Academy. He was a founding member of the Fairview Park Jaycees and a CubMaster during the years his oldest son was in the Boy Scouts. While his 3 younger children where active in North Olmsted soccer, Joe served as both a coach and President of the North Olmsted Soccer Organization (NOSO). He was also passionate about historic preservation and earned an appointment to the North Olmsted Landmarks Commission. Joe also served on the board of the North Olmsted Credit Union. He was a prolific letter writer, expressing his views on a variety of topics and causes to elected officials. In his retirement, Joe had more opportunities to travel, visiting one son studying abroad in Ecuador, and accompanying another on a business trip to Lithuania. Joe and his wife spent a month in Italy with Mario di Gennaro, a foreign exchange student that lived with his wife’s family during high school. Joe reciprocated their hospitality when Mario and his wife Ana visited the states and he accompanied them to Niagara Falls, New York City and Las Vegas. In the past year, Joe and his wife visited a son in Turkey, toured the Grand Canyon, and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on a cruise to Alaska. Joe was a self-taught woodworker and handyman, mostly out of necessity maintaining a century home. He generously assisted his children wherever they lived with their own home improvement projects, even loading suitcases full of power tools to fly across country to do so. He was well-known and loved by the friends and neighbors of his children near and far. He instilled a lifelong love of learning in his children who all attended private schools and colleges and pursued advanced degrees despite the modest salaries of a teacher and nurse. They are: Colleen Rouse (Bill) of Lakewood, Michael (Chris) of Clyde Hill, WA, Brian (Kristin) of Little Rock, AR, J. Patrick (Heidi) of Lakewood, and Katie McGregor (Ryan, deceased) of Westlake. He was also a devoted grandfather of 12: Will, Emily and Charlotte Rouse; Ben, Jeremy, and Megan Lang; Jameson, Hayden, and Joseph Lang; Donovan Lang; and Colin and Mason McGregor. He is survived by a sister, Sr. Joan, CSJ. Friends may call at Chambers Funeral Home 29150 Lorain Road on Friday January 18, 2013 from 2-4 and 5-8P.

| Jan 9, 2013 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for Thomas “Tom†Morrow Willett, Class of 1955. Please keep the Willett family in your prayers. Thomas Morrow Willett (Tom) of Rockport, Texas passed away the morning of December 31, 2012 at the age of 75 in Austin, Texas with complications from a glioblastoma brain tumor. Tom was born Sept. 1, 1937 in Asheville, North Carolina to Velma Morrow and James Roy Willett. He was the youngest of 6 children: Roy, Ruth, Howard, Martha, and Mary. He married Earlene Joan McDaniel in San Antonio, Texas on October 20, 1962. He graduated High School at St. Edward in Cleveland, Ohio in 1955 and attended San Antonio Junior College, San Antonio Texas. In 1956 Tom enlisted in the Marine Corp and served 6 years, 3 years active and 3 years inactive. Tom's occupational history and skills were widely varied from stints at Southwestern Bell Telephone, advertising, manager of Dickies factory in Uvalde, and Personnel Director of the Tower of America's Restaurant in 1968 with Frontier Enterprises which took hold of his future in the food service industry. In or around 1973 with a small group of investors, Tom had his entrepreneurial spirit kindled in establishing the Skipper's Galley Restaurant in Del Rio, Texas. The business was successful, and the group had plans to expand into Eagle Pass, Texas where another restaurant was built. Due to economic conditions in or around 1976 however, this did not come to fruition. Afterwards, Tom and his family joined Earlene's sister and brother-in-law in Washington State and purchased and operated Driftwood Acres Resort in the Wenatchee National Forest near Cle Elum for approximately 1-1/2 years after which Tom, Earlene and their children returned to Texas. In or around 1978, Tom began employment with Whataburger Restaurants, Corpus Christi, Texas as an area supervisor and shortly thereafter left Operations and went into Whataburger's construction department as Director of Construction where he remained for approximately 23 years and retired around 2002. Tom cultivated and nurtured many meaningful relationships within the circle of his ultimate career. He took interest in those he worked with and endeavored to see them succeed. He created a sense of family among close friends. He was regarded as innovative and knowledgeable in his field. Tom enjoyed the Outdoors. He taught his children to fish and hunt. Hunting, camping and boating with friends and family are treasured times. He was fascinated by the substance of the earthly world, and always endeavored to build from that substance, be it a "coon box" for river camping, restoration of his father-in-law's redwood boat, the Rockport "cabin", or a 200-seat restaurant. He enjoyed building things, and whatever his interest, he found something to build in order to compliment it. In Tom's retirement he was an avid golfer and served on some occasions on the board of the Live Oak Country Club in Rockport, Texas and even found that opportunity to improve the grounds and water system. He played golf with his children and inspired them to find the value in that activity. Tom is survived by his wife, Earlene Willett; his son Mark Earl and his wife Maryanne residing in Austin, Texas; his daughter Pamela Beth, also residing in Austin, Texas; Grandson, Alex; and numerous nieces and nephews. A funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, January 12, 2013 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church located at 10205 Ranch Road 620 North, Austin, TX 78726 at 10:00 a.m. with a reception afterwards at the church.

Mark Edward Thibo April 10, 1952 to August 18, 2012 Mark Edward Thibo passed away peacefully August 18 after succumbing to a rapid but painless illness. He was in his home in Steilacoom overlooking the water, surrounded by his wife of 37 years Meredith, son Campbell, daughter Heather, Niece Shana and good friend Mike. His passing was accompanied by the sound of beautiful music sung by his children. Mark was born in Cleveland, Ohio, April 10, 1952 to John D. and Rita Thibo. Of his siblings he was preceded in death by Judy LeForce and Susan Thibo. He is survived by Jon Thibo (Ellen), Mary Beth Cornwell (Gary), Nancy Thibo (Adrian Hoye), Anne George (Loren), and Kate MacBride (Pat). He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and his grandson Teancum. Growing up in Bay Village, Ohio, he enjoyed boating and fishing on Lake Erie, time with friends, and sports. He attended St. Raphael's grade school, St. Edward High School, Heidleberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, then Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Washington where he received his AA Degree in Forestry. He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, backpacking, walking the beach, and skipping stones. It was this love of nature that inspired a career in forestry and brought him to Port Angeles, Washington where he started a tree planting business and built a house in the mountains for his family. Mark began work with the Department of Natural Resources where he was introduced to wildland fire fighting. He worked as a timber and fire manager throughout his long career and worked right up until his illness as an Incident Commander of a type 2 team on a wildland fire in Wyoming. Marks ability to play Bluegrass music developed along with his forestry career. He participated in several bands over the years playing the standup bass, harmonica, mandolin, guitar and our favorite the banjo. He had aspirations for the fiddle but that dream will have to be fulfilled in the band in heaven. His musical ability inspired his children who both love to sing and play music and think back fondly to the late night band practices that put them to sleep in their childhood. Marks other past times included working with the Native American Tribes and many organizations to restore the Nisqually River Basin to its natural state. He also served faithfully in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where he inspired many with his example of brotherly love and kindness to all. He enjoyed mentoring the next generation with humor and compassion and was active in the scouting program. At work he was known for bringing "treats" of dark chocolate and donuts to smooth over differences during stressful economic times. He will be remembered by all who knew him and he will live on in the people that follow his shining example. Till we meet again Mark Thibo, Husband, Father, Brother, and Friend. A memorial service will be held Fri. evening Aug. 24, 6:30-7:30 followed by a pot luck/music memorial in the back picnic area.

| Dec 10, 2012 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the obituary for Brother Donald McIntyre, C.S.C. Class of 1954, and brother of Kevin McIntyre, Class of 1953 (deceased). Please keep the McIntyre family in your prayers. October 19, 1935 - December 7, 2012 Brother Donald Patrick McIntyre, C.S.C., age 77, died on December 7, 2012 at Dujarie House, in Notre Dame, Indiana. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 19, 1935, the son of John and Mary Ann (Gibbons) McIntyre. He attended St. James Elementary School and St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio and graduated in 1954. He worked for a year and then followed his calling to join the Holy Cross Brothers and entered Sacred Heart Juniorate in Watertown, Wisconsin in September 1955. He began his religious training six months later at St. Joseph's Novitiate in Rolling Prairie, Indiana, where he pronounced his first vows on January 26, 1957. If you ever walked into a community gathering anywhere and heard waves of laughter, it was very possible that in the center of the group you would find Brother Donald McIntyre 'holding court.' He had his own way of recounting and coloring incidents and episodes in his life of many different ministries. Donald was never at a loss for words, an original 'happy face,' who could turn just about any circumstance into a hilarious story. He had a variety of assignments and experiences in Holy Cross. His first one was to learn the secrets of cooking from Brother John Chrysostom at Dujarie Hall. He then served as a canvasser for the Ave Maria magazine, and again cooked for the community at Columba Hall with Brother Amadeus. In 1966, he served as the assistant to the Mission Promoter, Brother Gonzaga Day, and helped him in many different chores. In 1969 he went to Boysville in Clinton, Michigan to help with caring for the students for the next 9 years. In 1978, he joined the Mountain Community of Holy Cross Brothers who were ministering to the needy in Coalfield and Harriman, Tennessee. He worked with Brother Gonzaga in his Thrift Shop and cared for the people in the parish of Blessed Sacrament Church for 7 years. In 1984, Donald was invited by a high school classmate to oversee and assist in a retirement community in Pompano Beach, Florida where he worked for 12 years, while also assisting the senior citizens in nearby parishes. He came back to Notre Dame in 1997 to join the nursing staff at Dujarie House. In 2001 he had a serious health issue which required open chest surgery and spent a year recuperating at St. Joseph Medical Center in South Bend before returning to reside with the community at Columba Hall. In 2008 he moved to the Schubert Villa at Holy Cross Village and in 2010 became a resident at Dujarie House where he continued his concern for others (especially his family and the many friends he made over the years) as well as entertaining the community and nursing staff with stories and his contagious saintly good humor. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 11th, at Our Lady of Holy Cross Chapel from 9:00 to 11:00 am on the grounds of Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame. The Mass of Resurrection will then follow with burial afterward at St. Joseph Cemetery of the Village. Kaniewski Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. |

| Nov 14, 2012 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for James R. Schoeplein, brother of Donald Schoeplein, Class of 1964 and Kevin Schoeplein, Class of 1971. Please keep the Schoeplein family in your prayers. James Richard Schoeplein ("Jim") passed away on Monday, November 12th, at Hospice of Mount Joy surrounded by loving family. Jim had been ill for 3 1/2 years suffering from lymphoma. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on November 16, 1934, the son of the late Wilfred C. and Mary H. Schoeplein. Jim was devoted to his wife of 54 years, Sheila Killeen Schoeplein, who survives him, as well as to his sons, Jeffrey F. Schoeplein of Sterling, VA, Jim Schoeplein Jr. of Lancaster; daughters, Michelle Archer of Houston, TX, Monica Larson (Eric) of Westlake Village, CA, and Megan Mergenhagen (Bob) of Royersford, PA. In addition, he was a loving grandfather to Lindsey and Caitlyn Schoeplein; Robert and Meredith Archer; Madeline, Jack, Mary Kathryn, Owen and Sean Larson; and Cecelia and Andrew Mergenhagen. He was the dear brother of the late Charles W. Schoeplein of Ocean City, MD, and surviving siblings, Karen (Ron) Turgeon of St. Louis, MO, Donald K (Connie) Schoeplein of Atlanta, GA, and Kevin D. (Lisa) Schoeplein of Peoria, IL. A devout Catholic, Jim was an active member of St. Anthony of Padua Church serving as a Eucharistic minister of Communion and past member of the Pastoral Council -- he previously had fulfilled these two functions while a member of St. Anne's Parish. He received his education at St. Christopher's School, Rocky River, OH, Benedictine High School in Cleveland, OH and was a graduate of Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. He remained a strong advocate of Catholic education supporting Lancaster Catholic High School long after his five children and two granddaughters had graduated. An Ecumenical interest led Jim to become involved with the Lancaster County Council of Churches serving on their Board of Directors from 2002 until 2006. He was a member of the Lancaster Knights of Columbus #867. In Jim's business career, he always had his eyes open to what was new and innovative. He began his career with National Screw and Manufacturing in Cleveland, later becoming a salesperson for Accurate Threaded Fasteners of Chicago, and United Screw and Bolt in Philadelphia. He found his real "home" in 1967 when he moved to Lancaster to become a member of the National Bearings "family." From his starting position as Sales Manager, he went on to become Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of that Company until he left in August of 1991. To his death, he had a special place in his heart for Boyd Heath, the owner of the company with whom he shared many special endeavors. In 1991, Jim fulfilled a lifelong ambition to open his own manufacturer's representative agency, Quadradix, later Quadradix International, and stayed actively involved until the latter stages of his illness. During these years, he served on the Boards of the Cycle Parts and Accessories Assn. and the Anti-Friction Bearings, Manufacturer's Association. Whatever he did, he did with enthusiasm and with his love for and interest in people. He enjoyed sports and was an avid hunter, fisherman, skier, and he never met a golf course he didn't like. One of his greatest joys came from his membership in the Tucquan Club and the time he spent "on the river" with fellow Tucquaners. He also enjoyed taking cruises with the Lancaster Pirates. He was a 40-year Member of the Lancaster Country Club where he served on the Board of Governors, a past member of Meadia Heights Golf Club, and Seaview Country Clubs. He and Sheila traveled extensively often on golf junkets to Ireland and Palm Desert, CA. He enjoyed his semi-annual cruises with his siblings and Mike and Karen Killeen. Family was paramount to him and each year the extended family gathered for an August vacation, first in Canada, then in Hilton Head, SC. He also was a member of the Lancaster Liederkranz and loved to comment that his list of club memberships included ¬Costco and he wanted that in his obituary. The visitation will be held from 3 P.M. to 5 P.M. and 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. on Thursday, November 15, 2012, with a recitation of the Holy Rosary at 8:30 P.M., at the Charles F.

(Nancy) of Webster Groves, MO, daughter Elizabeth A. of Somerville, MA; grandsons Aaron (Alyssa), Nolan, Robert; granddaughters Jill, Mary, Claire, Rae, Ruth; and great-grandsons Colin and Dylan. For many years he headed the L.A. Lux Company, a manufacturer of water treatment chemicals. After his retirement in 1989, he founded Scranton Associates, a consulting firm in the same field, and in 1995, expanded its activities into manufacturing. In 2008, he relocated the company to larger facilities in Strongsville. His efforts are recalled, for many, by the large number of technical papers he presented and published. Over a twelve-year period (1986-1998), he was an active member of the Board of MetroHealth System, particularly in matters related to Building and Grounds. In 1998, he was honored by the Center for Health Affairs for his contributions to health care in northeastern Ohio. He was also a member of The Print Club of Cleveland and the Society for Contemporary Art. His particular specialization in art scholarship was "santos" - the religious folk art of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Mr. Cavano served as President of the Merrick House board of trustees - a settlement house in the Tremont and Clark-Fulton areas of Cleveland - and later as President of the Greater Cleveland Neighborhood Centers Association. He was an incorporator and President of The Cuyahoga Plan, a fair housing organization, and was an early advocate for public housing. During the 1960s he was a member of the Commission on Catholic Community Action and headed its Housing Task Force. The City Club of Cleveland was one of his favorite hangouts. He served as President in 1976, and, as part of the U.S. Bicentennial celebration for that year, led the group on a trip to England for its first Forum away from Cleveland. The Rowfant Club, a focus for his interest in books, elected him to its presidency in 1989 and to be chairman of its 100th Anniversary Celebration. Among his most interesting presentations were those on the Tremont neighborhood, his Life in Baseball, and the demise of the Sterling Hotel. Mr. Cavano attended East High School in Cleveland, graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1947 and did two years of graduate work in Mathematical Statistics at Columbia University. He served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II, in both the European and Pacific theatres.

BEREA, Ohio -- The man found dead in the Cleveland Metroparks' Big Creek Reservation has been identified as Thomas Zammikiel, who was reported missing March 30. Cleveland Metroparks rangers confirmed the identity after a park visitor discovered the body about 2:15 p.m. Friday near railroad tracks and an electrical substation, spokeswoman Dianna Kall said. The Cuyahoga County coroner's office has yet to identify the body or rule on the cause of death. There were no obvious injuries and foul play is not suspected, Berea police Lt. Joseph Hedinger said. Police had been looking for Zammikiel, 72, of Manning Drive, who had dementia and depression. He would have been able to walk from his home to where his body was found, Hedinger said.
