Bill Lautz's Dad
04/30/07 07:12 PM
I received this message originated by Bill Lautz (through John Lorimer) today:
"Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 10:09 AM Subject: Harold
Dad passed away at 7:30 this morning. Had congestive heart failure for about ten years. Had a pacemaker put in about two weeks ago, but he and his body (at the age of 95) decided it was time.
Services pending, but probably visitation at Cress on Speedway Sunday and funeral at Luther Memorial on Monday."
I will post the obituary on the website when it is published.

Hello, Chuck. Always glad to see your updates on class members- - -although some have a degree of sadness to them.
A couple of items. Many people knew my folks when I was at West. Mom passed away from congestive heart failure at the age of 92 last February. Dad still lives in the house he built (his words) at the age of 94- - -and still drives (heaven forbid). Early today I became a grandfather for the first time. (Are we really THAT old???)
This photo of Bill and his parents was taken at our 40th Reunion (from webmaster archives)

> From Laura Fellman:
> My father passed away on November 23 at the age of 96! Several classmates attended the funeral, which I so appreciated.
> I still live in a floating home on the Pacific Ocean, in the harbour of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Recently we got real telephones and so no longer have to rely on cell phones. My new "land line" number is *XXX-XXX-XXXX. With the installation came Internet access so I can now be reached on my home email address: LauraFellman@telus.net.
> I am planning to retire either in June or August...to be firmed up soon. I can hardly wait. First on my agenda will be to get in my car and see all my old friends, who are spread around the US and Canada. In particular, I want to be in the Midwest when the hardwood trees turn in the Fall. Hope to catch up with some of you then.....or at the 50th!
