John Keil
1947-March 1, 2019

John was a 1965 MHS graduate. Before retiring, John worked for LPS Industries, Moonachie as a Sr. System Analyst. He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Maywood where he was the financial secretary and the Paramus Historical Commission. He is survived by his wife Linda (nee Koenig). and daughters of Jill Benyamine of Oradell NJ, and Melissa Jankowski of Westwood NJ. He adored his grandchildren: Harper, Charlotte, Taylor and Morgan.
On personal note: Although every addition I make to "Heaven's Yearbook" is hard, this one is especially difficult. Johnny, as I knew him as, was one of my oldest friends. We met when he was a 5 year old kindergartner that my grandma Klaschka drove to school with us until he went to Catholic School. In 1998 Johnny found me on 'Classmates.com' and we have been corresponding ever since. John and I lived in the same neighborhood and I related to each and every story and enjoyed our trips down memory lane.. I saved all his e mails, he was such a great writer and compiled them on a web page. John was the 'Christopher Robin' of his generation. Ironically John's last post on my Facebook page was a cartoon of "Christopher Robin" and "Whinny the Pooh" that read:

"If there ever comes a day
where we can't be together,
keep me in your heart,
I'll stay there forever."
Goodbye my friend, Your memories will live on with me.

Right across the street from St Lukes was the spooky old Hermitage. The Rosencrans sisters lived there and with all the overgrowth it looked like a real haunted house. Rumor had it that parts of the floor were roped off as unsafe. Little kids were not welcomed there and I never had the courage to go very far into the driveway. At night the house and grounds were dark and spooky. It was amazing that when the state took it over and removed the overgrowth a house emerged! In grade school we learned to "duck and cover". Like that would be all you would need to do to be safe from an atom bomb. I guess if that didn't work, hiding under your desk would. My next door neighbor and best friend Ken Cushing and I used to hang around and do everything together. As kids, we had the run of the neighborhood and if we kept out of the DeJoung brother's way, we managed to survive. We also used to cut right through to the old "trolley tracks" right of way and follow it in either direction to Allendale or Ramsey. I'll never forget the year that we discovered that the trail ran right up to behind the Interstate Shopping Center. It was a big deal being able to spend some of our allowance at W.T. Grants or Woolworth's. I lived on my bike when I was a kid and rode it everywhere. When the weather was bad, we walked. It never occurred to us to beg our parents for a ride. We would travel all over by bicycle, we went along the old trolley tracks as far south as route 20 in Paterson, and as far north somewhere beyond Suffern. After hiding our bikes, we followed an old fire trail up the mountain outside of Suffern right up to the top on foot. It was a steep climb, but worth it for the views. We'd go to "Doc's" (Gordon's Allendale Sweet Shop) for cherry cokes and the Allendale 5 & 10 for penny candy and 5¢ candy bars. Every Sunday morning we would hit Althausens Deli and the Kraft Bakery.
. We always had car repairs done and bought gas at the Megnin brothers Esso station. I loved going there with my dad. To a kid, it was a real neat and mysterious shop, ready to handle anything automotive. I would snag free maps which I still have today! I don't recall all of the other stores in Allendale, but I do remember Oakley's Gift Shop, a small A&P storefront, Winter Brothers Hardware Store, the Post Office, and Citizens First National Bank. Everyone called he Allendale Hotel a "flop house" but I never knew what that meant back then. Dr. Canning had his office up above the old post office. I went to Dr. Schultz, who had an office in his big house on Franklin Turnpike. It was a few blocks past Thurston's Garage that had a fenced in corral for their horses right next to it. Ma Connolly's bar and grill was a real "dive" in the late 50's. It has been renovated and is now the Allendale B&Gl. Ma's grandsons, the Kunishes, run it now.
My friends and I spent more time at the Lake in the Ramsey Estates and surrounding area than anywhere else. We would hunt golf balls and sell them to the golfers for a quarter a piece. One of our techniques for "hunting" golf balls was to wait for golfers to hit up over the brow of the hill by the lake. If a ball came close enough to the road, and the coast was clear, we'd dash up and grab the ball, then run and hide We would go up to the tee by the ice cream stand on the beach to conduct our sales. We probably ended up selling them back their own golf balls! We'd either spend our 'loot' on ice cream or head down town Herb and Charlie's in Ramsey for sodas and candy. I also recall the yearly drain down at the lake. We were fascinated by the outlet pipe well below street level and how it used to flood that area. We would scour the expanded shore line looking for treasures. One year we found a whole bunch of broken statues that had originally graced the gardens when the estates were privately owned by the DeWhitecauffs, But we were made to throw them back and told to leave. In the winter we went skating on the lake weekends and after school. We even go at night and build bonfires by the side of the lake. Usually the hockey players would commandeer the large open spaces for their games. Sometimes we would bring snow shovels and clear lanes all over the lake. God help you if you hit a ridge while moving along at a good clip! We went sleigh riding down the hill by the country club gardens. You could go right onto the lake. We dug tunnels along Cherokee Ave. when the snow plows would pile the snow up along the road. Once we had a tunnel that ran from the Cushing's, past my house and the one next to it,Once we hauled an old row boat out of the lake. We managed to put it on some kind of wheeled thingy and pushed it all the way to my house. There we re-painted it and caulked it with window caulk. We then dragged it back down to the lake, where we got two good days of rowing (and bailing) before it finally sank. Sometimes I marvel at the fact that we survived childhood playing in areas where we played. We used to get to the lake by two different paths, "Klaschka Lane" (Albert Road), or through Miss Beebe's yard. She owned what was probably the biggest house on Franklin Turnpike right across from Arlton Ave. She encouraged the neighborhood kids to use her property as I guess she felt it was better to keep us happy than antagonize us. She always had us in for lemonade and cookies. Bob Tremitiere and some of his friends used her garage for a car club. Bob was, and still is, a car nut. He works for Ford in Michigan now. He restored a 1953 Packard. I loved hanging around when he worked on his car.
One of the things I remember about Miss. Beebe's was stack after stack of old Life magazines all around the house. It was a treat when she would allow us kids to go up to one of the third floor rooms to look at the old swords that were kept up there. Do you remember the show "The Peoples Choice" starring Jackie Cooper? He had a Basset hound named "Cleo". Miss. Beebe had one of Cleo's sisters and it was one of the nicest dogs I ever saw. I still have a soft spot for Basset hounds. We used to play wiffle ball in her side yard, climb all over the wide stone walls in the back, and gorge ourselves on the grapes from the arbors on the other side of the wall. We also used to climb all over the big tall pine trees in the front yard. We could get up very high with little effort due to the perfectly spaced branches. I remember that unique "old house" smell. I've haven't noticed it anywhere else since and I live in a 225 year old house! When I got too old for the Allendale pool, my folks signed me up for a season at San Jacinto and Brookside the next. It was a long bike ride but going was downhill. Getting back home at the end of a long day was another story.
I am in regular contact with Barbara Dobbs. They lived almost across the street from my house on Cherokee Ave. I remember the day lightning hit the Dobb's house. They were all taking naps and never knew they had been hit until my mom called them. My mother called the fire department who arrived to find a pretty good fire in the attic!!!. Bob Tamagny lived directly across the street from my house. The only thing I remember about the Tamagnys is that they all had red hair and freckles, with Peggy Jean getting the lions share. There was a woman, Mrs. Bowman, who lived with her sister on Cherokee. I think she was related to Johnny Bowman who was severely burned after he accidentally ignited gasoline and paint. He was burned over 80% of his body but survived after a long recovery. I used to play with him before the accident. See, not all memories are good, but most are. The Cotz's used to live on the northern corner of Cherokee. They used to have a mule, and later on sheep in their pasture. We used to play baseball in that pasture with George Cotz and his brother Tim. Chuck Malley lived in that "modern" house at the end of Cherokee. It had a window wall that had a nice view of the city day and night. The Smith's lived across form the Malley's. Mr. Smith co- owned a trucking company. The first canned soda I ever had came from a supply he brought home. They needed to be opened with a 'church key' (can opener). He also brought film reels home. He strung a bed sheet between a couple of trees and would show old movies to the neighborhood kids after dark. One day we were throwing rocks from Malleys yard, down across Crescent Ave, trying to hit the old abandoned Wilson greenhouses. One of my rocks almost hit a man and woman walking their dog on Crescent. He yelled and I ran! But he ran up the hill faster than a rocket! He saw me run into my garage to hide. Man,did he ever read my Mom the riot act about what we did. Talk about being grounded!
Old man Cornhoff on Iriquois sold my parents our house. He once showed my dad and I a military gun collection he had in his basement. He had everything from rifles to water cooled machine guns. To a little kid, it was amazing! The Dieterts, Joan and Kathy and their parents were avid bird watchers. They had a net set up in their side yard so they could catch birds and band them. Archie Farrell, the Allendale postmaster, before Warren Scherb, delivered our mail., two old spinsters the Auchambois sisters once asked me to shovel them out after a storm. I cleared every sidewalk they had, even the ones they didn't use. They didn't drive in winter but had me do the driveway too. Usually I would get five bucks for that much work. When I finally finished, they gave me a choice between a 5¢ Hershey bar, or 50¢. I took the 50¢ and wouldn't go back again! The Robbins' house had a garage around the back of the house which was unusual for that time. I know that Richie had an older sister and a brother Robbie. Next to the Robbins were the DeJoungs, Eddie, Dewey, and Janice. I strongly remember knotty pine walls in their living room. Boy, am I full of useless information!.
The Christopher's who lived on Crescent Ave. had a house that was narrower and closer to the road than any house I have ever seen. They had a big barn out back. I was friends with Glenn Christopher. He had an electric car, complete with leather upholstery, and working headlights. I guess it stays in my memory because it was so neat! I remember the antique shop Franklyn Tpke. run by a little old lady, Mrs. Oddo's I believe. My mom went into that antique shop all the time. I always had to stand by the front door and not move, so that I wouldn't break anything. I still have a painted jug that my mom bought from her. I remember once having home-made vanilla ice cream at the Tierney farm on the corner of Arlton Ave. I can almost taste that amazing flavor. None since has been as good.
With my Dad being on the fire department I got to watch the fireworks from behind them on the back of the fire truck. M friend Ken and I would spend just about the whole day there at the Allendale Ball Park, filling up on hot dogs, soda, and peanuts. We always got to ride back to the firehouse hanging onto the rear platform. The next day we'd be back at the field early hunting for remnants of the aerial bombs. To this day I can't figure out what we wanted with pieces of burned paper anyway. When the firemen had their picnic at the police pistol range, we'd spend hours digging up 22 pistol shells. We also went nuts for the different colored soda bottle caps. We used to carefully scoop out the cork insides, put the caps on our shirts, and then push the cork inserts back in on the other side of the material. All those bottle caps sure weighed us down!
Back in the days when Allendale was growing, developers had the fire department burn down houses that would otherwise be torn down. I used to go along to watch. My dad took a lot of pictures of those fires. In the late 50's Allendale experimented with silver reflective fire suits with hoods that allowed firemen to get closer to the fires. I remember fondly my mom and I taking the Public Service bus to Paterson. It would drop us off right in front of City Hall. We would usually grab a hot-dog and orange crush at Nedicks. I haven't had hot dogs as good as those since then. Quackenbushs was a neat store that always had a big Lionel display at Christmas. I remember Allendale's 50th anniversary celebration I was nine or so. It was held at Crestwood Lake. The then Governor, Myner, made an appearance and I got to shake his hand. That was big time. My dad and all the rest of the fireman grew big handlebar mustaches as part of the celebration. In those days the fireman wore snazzy uniforms. Gray and red or gray and yellow uniforms and not just the traditional blue.

I also remember the night that the Grand Union in Ramsey burned down. What woke me up was the sound of water being drawn from the water supply. It was over a mile away but at night the sounds from the fire would echo off the lake made it sound so much closer. You can bet that I was up there the next day checking out the scene. It was amazing to see the wreckage. When they cleared away all the debris I rode my bike around on the floor tiles. We used to range all over in our explorations. We even crossed Route 17 by Hilltop Shell. That was in the days of the wide grass median. They actually had large trees on the median, and the cops used to hide behind them and catch cars speeding. When we got older, we would cross 17 to bowl a few games at Club 300. At that time it was fifty cents a game and a quarter to rent shoes.
I enjoyed the unique campus style of MHS, and was sorry that they felt the need to change it. The new building is nice, but it's rough on memories. I was pretty much the "nerd" in high school. I was involved with the audio/video stuff. In those days it was reel-to-reel tape recorders and motion picture projectors. I also was on the stage crew. I loved being involved in all the productions running the lighting board. There were about three of us who were dedicated and worked just about every production or concert held there. We'd get into the football games for free and watch from the press box since we set up all the sound equipment. I remember in my senior year, going up to the Rainbow Bar in Suffern for twenty-five cent beers, no questions asked. In subsequent years, my friends and I made many a run up to Greenwood Lake's topless go-go clubs.
I get up to the Allendale area once in a while. I usually take the loop through the Country Club just to drive around the lake and rekindle the memories of my youth. I used to marvel at the gardens and the stairs that lead down to the lake. One of these days I'm going to stop up by the club house, now called the Abbey, and wander around just for old times sake. Ah, those were the days!






Skip Kelley
December 6, 1945-December 11, 2022



Skip was a Sergeant in the U.S Air Force from 1964-1968 and served in Vietnam from 1966-1967. It was while he was in the Air Force he met his wife of 44 years, Nina. They have three children: Tom (43) Tim (42) Erin (32) and four grandchildren Shane (5), Chris (17) Colleen (3) and Amanda (14).

Skip was in the restaurant business for 14 years before spending the next 22 years in Bergen County government where he served as a Westwood Councilman 5 years and as Mayor of Westwood for 8 years. He is a Founder, or Founding Member of several organizations. Skip organized the largest parade in Bergen County history which was A “Welcome Home” parade after Desert Storm. He has also organized the annual “September 11th Memorial Observation” in Westwood for the past 11 years. Skip and his wife Nina are being honored on October 17th 2013 as ‘Citizens of the Year’ by the Greater Pascack Valley Chamber of Commerce.
For nearly forty years, Skip has been involved in coaching baseball, football, and softball. He enjoys his family, golf and traveling. For the last 5 years, Skip has been in real estate, both residential and commercial. He has no plans for retirement in the foreseeable future.

One of Skip’s favorite MHS memories is “singing along with the juke box at lunch.” His advice to his fellow classmates is : “Stay active, take each day as it comes. Try to do things that you’ve always wanted to do but never got to do it. Life is short, so have fun!!!”

Skips’s obituary reads:

Skip Kelley took his last breath surrounded by his adoring family on December 11, 2022, after a six-year battle with cancer. He left this earth just days after his 77th birthday comfortably and quietly in his home of 47 years. He was born in Hackensack to parents Bernard Kelley and Josephine Kelley (nee Toomey) and raised in Allendale, New Jersey. He was a loving husband, an amazing father of four children, and an adoring Pop-Pop to his four grandchildren.
Skip led a long, proud life of service, starting as an Airman in the United States Air Force, where he served from 1964-1968, including a deployment to Vietnam. He continued his life of service as the consummate volunteer in what became his beloved hometown of Westwood, where he served as a little league coach, Councilman, Mayor, and member of countless boards, commissions, and committees.

Where he truly found his niche in his service to others was as a mentor to those struggling with alcohol abuse. Behind the scenes, Skip guided and supported hundreds of people as they transitioned into sobriety. He loved to travel, visiting family and going on cruises. He retired in 2008 after a 25-year career with the County of Bergen, and had a very successful second career in real estate until he decided to retire for good.
.
He was predeceased way too soon by his younger brother Tommy in 1968, and by his father and mother in 1984 and 1990 respectively. He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 54 years, Nina, who stood steadfastly by his side; his children Tom, Tim, Chris and his wife Erika, and Erin and her husband Chris Kellett; his grandchildren Chris, Amanda, Shane and Colleen; his sisters Sheila Kelley, Joy Schepisi, and Pam Morey; and a myriad of in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

1/3/2023 Tributes to a friend:
To the Kelley Family and Classmates,
Skip Kelley’s public career reminds me of when I worked for the Hon. Sherman Adams White House Chief of Staff and N.H. Governor, who, when I worked for him was President, Loon Mt. Corporation. Working with this politician was a great experience and I feel a certain kind of respect and kinship with political people, and they for me.
Skip became important, faced challenges and enjoyed a full life. For me he was a fun guy to grow up with and a welcoming sharp adult. He will be missed by many I’m sure.
I am sorry for his family’s loss and extend to all my deep sorrow.
Sincerely,
Bob Black

Gail Marie Kort
1942-2017


In 1978, Gail married David Hemmendinger, who shared her interest in folk dancing. They lived in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where Gail continued to draw house portraits by commission and to paint large landscapes. She was a founding member of the Village Artisans collective gallery there. She always worked on site, saying that cameras see in a way very different from how the eye and the mind do. She loved the sky, and over the years, it occupied more and more of each canvas, with some that she called, “Just Sky”. Gail moved to Schenectady, NY in 1989 when David came to Union College, and continued to paint. She particularly loved the view from the Thacher Park Overlook in the Helderbergs, where she painted landscapes in all seasons; she also painted many other local scenes. Gail enjoyed traveling with David in Europe, Turkey, Morocco, and the Caribbean, as well as in the US, and she painted and drew during her travels, particularly in France and in St. John, USVI. Gail was a member of the Schenectady Oakroom Artists for many years, and exhibited her work in their shows. Her paintings were also in several of the shows of Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region and in other local galleries and art shows. She worked as a substitute teacher in Niskayuna, where she brought what she called “her bag of tricks”, demonstrations of color and optical phenomena. Some of her later works were land-scapes painted on the inner surface of domes, to show people what a landscape view was like when painted on a curved surface rather than on a flat canvas, continuing to explore the relation between how we see and how we represent what we see. She described painting on site as a dialogue between what’s “out there” and the right-here of her dabs of paint.
Gail loved being outdoors, and enjoyed gardening. She was a warm and loving person, intensely curious about others and how they saw the world. Her enthusiasm was radiant and contagious, and she loved to see others open up and laugh. People found it easy to talk to her. Her humor was sometimes quiet but always there, even in the choices she made about what to put on canvas. She wrote, “I combine energy and intense observation to reflect the love I have for what I contemplate.
Gail underwent treatment for lymphoma for over six years, and her good spirits, optimism, and determination persisted throughout. Shecontinued to enjoy life, and particularly, to be with her sons and grandchildren. Her family is very gratefu lto all her friends who helped to provide support over the years, as well as to the staff at Ellis Hospital.
Gail is survived by her husband David, sister Carol Parson of Sonoma, CA, sons Boris Kort-Packard of Memphis, TN, Marko Packard, of Montague, MA, and Ben Hemmendinger, of Yellow Springs OH, and grandchildren Ansel Kort-Packard and Iris Atlee, Marko’s daughter. There will be a memorial service at a time to be announced. In lieu of flowers, Gail’s friends are invited to contribute to one of the charities that she valued, Planned Parenthood or Amnesty International.

Herbert Weymouth McCord. . . Judith Ellen Stewart McCord


Herb McCord, the longtime radio executive who co-founded GRANUM COMMUNICATIONS, passedaway November 19th 2019. He was 77 and had suffered from heart and kidney problems; his wife Judi predeceased him September 26th 2019. McCord’s family was at his side when he passed.Herb served as GM at CKLW-A/WINDSOR-DETROIT in the 1970s and as VP/Radio at GREATERMEDIA in the 1980s.

QUAAL Leadership Award in 2015.Judi Class of '62 and Herb, class of '60,,were high school sweet hearts and had two children, Michael and Jennifer. For more information on Herb's carer in Radio Broadcasting, Google Herb McCord and prepare to be impressed! Herb's life long friends and classmates Bob Tremitier, Dab Bowerfind, and Brian Klaschka remember Herb:

In our 12 years at Brookside and Ramsey and Mahwah High, I never heard a negative word or comment said about my classmate Herb. A gentle soul (happy and exuberant). I went to visit him once at Dartmouth's Winter Carnival but had not made contact again until 2010 at our Mahwah High reunion. I enjoyed chatting about our life experiences at the 50th year class reunion. I am sure he will be missed by the many classmates whom had on going relationships with over the years. I remember Judy as she was Russell's little sister. I spent many hours with Russell playing basketball at Brookside after school or flipping cards and closest to the wall for "the coin of the realm". Consequently, I visited the Russell Hillside house frequently.

Herb and Judy; High school sweethearts whose life long union is to be admired in contrast to our throw away society. They are together AGAIN! May they rest in peace. Brian Klaschka


Herb and I kept in touch. I just found out that Herb McCord has passed away. We have always exchanged Christmas cards, and when we didn't get one this year, I googled his name and found his obit. We also had lunch with Herb and Judi the last two winters when we were in Florida. Herb was one of the nicest guys I knew and had a long and successful career in the broadcast industry. He will be missed. They lived in Windsor Ontario
for several years when he was general manager of radio station CKLW. Windsor is right across the river from Detroit (south of Detroit if you can believe that). We always kept in touch at Christmas and finally caught up with them in Naples FL a few years ago. Bob Tremitier


So sorry to hear about Herb and Judi.. Did they have children? If so do you have their addresses? Dab Bowerfind class of '61 ****If anyone knows how to reach Herb and Judi's children, or has more information about Judi, please contact Gloria (Klaschka) Pease @ gloriadianne2945@yahoo.com

Life is ironic, we had been talking about Elsa and a time we went to my family farm - it was after high school. and Elsa was dating Mickey Vaughn a guy from Glen Rock - I think losing a child would make anyone ill- I was close with Elsa in high school and for a while afterwards. I also am very sorry to hear of this very sad news. We have lost a lot of our classmates lately. I do hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and will have a most Happy New Year! Take care of yourselves. We’ve had too many tragedies already. Karen Horton
Thank you so much for keeping us up to date, Dan and I are so far away it's great to get the e-mail, even though they have been very sad ones lately.Nancy and Dan Phair
This is such sad news. My heart breaks for Tom and their son having so much loss. Elsa was my idol in high school. She was blonde, beautiful, had STRAIGHT hair, could do gymnastics and ski, had traveled and her mom worked some nights so we could say we were going to the library or some other excuse and hang out at her house and have so much fun. I will always picture her as young and full of life as she was. I feel like some chunk of my life has gone away with her passing. I hope she is in a good place with her daughter.Joanne Williams Paterson
So sad to hear about Elsa. Joanne, I think we all wanted to be like Elsa. She used to say some lines in Swiss German to heal a boo-boo, and I always wanted to get her to write it down. I still say it to my kids and husband, but incorrectly. It will be said with special love and thoughts in the future. I join all of you in remembering our beloved classmates, may they all rest in peace.Diane Tremitiere Monaghan
I was stunned to hear of Elsa's death. She was always so full of life. She was courageous, kind so much fun, everything was an adventure. Very sad.Ginger Morrison
I was also quite saddened to hear about Elsa. Last fall she called me to ask about our help in coming to the reunion. She said she really wanted to attend, but that she probably wouldn't if Tom didn't go. Obviously, Tom didn't come so neither did Elsa. I have some very fond memories of her. She was always nice to me and she just seemed to be so genuine in her kindness. 2014 was not a very good year for the class of '63, so let's hope 2015 is much better. Skip Kelley<
I am so sad about hearing about Elsa. She was such a fun loving, wild child. We will all miss her and will remember lots of adventures we went on with her. Let's hope 2015 is a better year for all.Merry Monaghan Ettenberg

On a personal note: Danny' s dad and my dad were childhood friends. Their friendship continued long into their adulthood. You might say Danny and I knew each other even 'before we were born!' Dan's middle name, David, was in honor of my dad. But, my mother put the 'kibosh' to giving my brother Donald as Daniel as a middle name. We called each other's parents 'Aunt and Uncle" and always thought of each other as 'cousins' rather than friends. Dan was one of the sweetest kindhearted people I have ever known. He was devout to his religion. He never spoke of his beliefs, but lived it by example. I am proud to have had him in my life and proud to call him my friend.




Sandy Carol Phair Camberlege
1942-July19,2022

Sandy's MHS Class of '60 Yearbook quote reads: "A time to weep. a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance." Having known Sandy my entire life, this is truly a time to weep and mourn for me. Our fathers were child hood friends and remaind close all their lives. She was devout to her religion but never spoke of her beliefs, but lived it by example. I am proud to have had her in my life and proud to call her my friend. Her passing leaves an ache in my heart that can only be soothed by the thought that she is with her family, laughing and dancing with joy at their reunion. Gloria Klaschka Pease.
Sandy's husband Paul Camberlege sent the following message:
To all our family and friends:
It’s with a badly broken heart that I must tell you that the love of my life, my dearest Sandy, passed away Tuesday (July19th) afternoon. She was taken to the hospital Saturday with a severe pain in her stomach that turned out to be a badly infected gallbladder – one of the worst the doctor had seen in some time. She was kept in the hospital in the general ward until yesterday when they moved her to the surgical ICU because her tests showed the infection was spreading and she was at risk of become septic. Additionally her kidneys had shut down. She “coded” that evening as her blood pressure plummeted and though they able to restore it pretty quickly, some damage was done. I sat with her until midnight and went back Wed. morning to talk to the doctors. By this time they had ascertained that the precipitous drop in blood pressure damaged her liver and she was on a ventilator. Since she and I have a very pointed living will including do not resuscitate instructions, with the agreement of Lisa and Jeff, both of whom got to see her, I delivered the living will and she was taken off all support. I stayed with her until she quietly passed shortly after 3 PM.
For several reasons, but mostly personal preference, as we both hate funerals, there will be no funeral. She will be cremated and buried alongside her parents in the family plot in Oakland, N.J.




Patricia Joan Phair Sicoli
1944-2008

Pam Phair, Pat's twin sister writes:
Pat died 3 years ago; and so did her 39 year old daughter - both were sick with cancer. We are still not over it. Eileen was sick for 2 years and Pat one year. The doctor said Pat got a rare form of cancer from the stress of Eileen's illness. Pat married Bob Sicoli and had 4 children. The oldest, a son Bobby , a daughter, Eileen, and 2 other sons, Brian and John. They all are married with families, giving Pat and Bob 13 grandchildren.Bobby lives in N.J. while the other 2 boys and their families are close to Bob in Florida. They were, and are a close knit family and have suffered thru this great loss. Pat had been a stay at home Mom until the kids were all in school. She joined the work force in several different capacities, including banking, but found the job she really enjoyed working for the state of Florida as a DMV Inspector. When her daughter Eileen became sick, she left her job and devoted herself to taking care of her. The stress was enormous and within a year Pat was diagnosed with the same disease. She fought hard, but seemed to give up when Eileen died only 3 weeks and a day before she joined Eileen. It's been four years and it is almost as fresh as it was then. Pat called Bob 'a saint' for the way he cared for her - and he was extraordinary. His boys and his wonderful daughter's-in-law are a great support for him as he works thru his grief.For me, I have never laughed as hard as I did with Pat - she could be so crazy and so funny and when we were together, words were never needed to explain it; there was just a connection and an understanding that said it all. I miss that the most. She will always be a huge part of us.

Jane Reilly
January 3, 1943June 13, 2022.

Throughout her life, Jane enjoyed the surprised reactions when friends learned she was born in Sioux Falls, SD. She was born on January 3, 1943. Her time there was limited, however, since her father had already been reassigned to an Army base in FL. When he was sent overseas to serve as a paratrooper in WW II, Jane and her mother left FL, returning to NJ, the family's home state. Such a lot of traveling for a little baby!
Jane's fondest memories included time spent with her children. She felt fortunate to stay home with them until her younger daughter entered first grade. She then entered and graduated from W&M's school psychology graduate program. She retired after 30 years as a school psychologist in the Hampton City school system.
Jane loved living in W'burg, her home since 1975 and felt lucky to be in a community bursting with beauty and culture. She was active in her congregation, the WUUs, and enjoyed spending time with her many friends.
Jane's photograph in St. Joseph's college yearbook was accompanied by this quotation from Carl Sandburg: "For the laughter of children who tumble barefooted and bareheaded in the summer grass." Remembering these words continued to make her smile, even as she was dying.
Jane was predeceased by her parents, Jewell and Donald Reilly, younger brothers, Christopher and Colin Reilly, and husband Richard Wallsom. She leaves to cherish her memory daughters and sons-in-law, Tracey and Scotty Tardiff, Betsy and Mark Phillips, her wonderful grandchildren, Reilly Tardiff and fiancé Haley Mast, Madeline and Margaret Phillips, and her brother Jay Reilly.

John Schaeffer
1945-2014

John Mark Schaeffer Myrtle Beach, S.C. John Mark Schaeffer 69, formerly of Ramsey, N.J. passed away Saturday, November 15, 2014. He was born August 24, 1945, in Paterson, N.J. a son of the late Kenneth William and Louise Florence Andrews Schaeffer. He was also pre-deceased by two brothers, Roger and Ronald Schaeffer.

A Memorial Service was held Wednesday, November 19, 2014, at McMillan-Small Funeral Home. The family will receive friends following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made the St. Jude Children Hospital in Memphis, TN
. The following is John's profile as it appeared in the class of 1963's on line directory 8/2013: After graduation, John attended ECPI, Electronic Computer Programming Institute in Paterson NJ. In 1975 John was hired as a Computer Programmer / Systems Analyst for Sharp Electronics in Paramus NJ. In 1986 John transferred to Sharp Electronics in Mahwah NJ. where he remained for 29 years until his retirement in 2004. In 1975, John married Francesca, his wife of 36 years, and have three daughters, Beth 34, Sarah 32, Claudia 26 and three Grandchildren, Jack 9, Owen 20 Months, Evelyn, 18 Months.

John's interests include: Baseball, Bowling, Football, Basketball, Hockey, computers, electronics, and Ham Radio. John's favorite MHS memories included Mr. Lazicki’s Business Training course; Pep Rally’s, football and basketball games. John's plans to spend his retirement years as a Computer Programmer & Financial Systems Analyst and Consultant. John's advice for his classmates is to : "Do the best you can in any endeavor in life."
Gloria Klaschka Pease added this to his profile: Once upon a time in the year 2011, when plans for a 50th reunion were still in its infancy, a super hero was born! Armed with only an outdated contact sheet from 1988, ZbbaSearch.com and unlimited calling, John joined forces with Gloria Klaschka and together this dynamic duo set out to do the impossible and located the entire MHS Class of 1963! By March 2012, their mission was near complete. However, when it appeared that some classmates seemed to have just dropped off the face of the earth and haven’t been seen or heard from since ol’ Doc Bishop handed them their diploma, reinforcements were called in! ‘The Locators” worked tirelessly with the dynamic duo until every classmate was accounted for! But a hero’s work is never done. Even though his super powers seem to be fading, John continues working diligently behind the scenes updating the ‘new and improved’ contact list on a daily basis. It is his mission to keep each and every class mate’s information current! I would like to take this opportunity to say:

‘Thank you! You Super Hero You!’
John's daughter Sarah Schaeffer Urscheler posted this lovely tribute to her dad on my Facebook wall: Waking up to the first day without my father. Relieved for him that he's no longer burdened by the broken down body that let him down time and time again. Dad was ill for longer than I knew him, but his heart was always strong. And I'm lucky enough to have so much of his heart and to have passed that down to my own boy - a daily reminder of dad. What the illnesses couldn't take was his sense of humor...perhaps what I'll miss most. You only get one dad and, boy, did I get a good one. Please lift my family up in prayer during this difficult time. For my mother who has been with dad since the age of 24. For my sisters and I who are now navigating life without dad's sage advice. And for three very confused grandchildren who are missing their Poppy. Dad...until we meet again. Keep them laughing up there. And, remember. In my life I love you more.

Just home from Thanksgiving and heard about Billy. Wow. This is especially painful because we called each other on New Years for the past thirty years! We shared a commitment to being Manufacturer's Representatives; although I'm sure SICA Enterprises far out weighted my own RJB Associates in terms of drive and success. A high-spirited life-long pal, RIP Billy. Bob Black

I was shocked to have heard Bill had passed away. At our class reunion breakfast Bill sat next to me and reminisced about years gone bye. We were going to try and get together but it never happened. My sympathies go out to his family and to our class of 63.Linda DeFalco

Lynn and I are so sorry to get the news about Billy. It's comforting to know that Eddie will be there and to know that he will do a great job representing us and letting Billy's family know that we loved him, very much. I'm so sad because this is such a surprise and, comes now, when we were just thinking about how thankful we are for all the wonderful people in our lives, including all of you, our wonderful classmates. Billy was always kind and smiling. I'm so sorry we've lost him.Shaver

I've been contemplating how to respond to the loss of John and now Billy. Both emails with the news caught me in my gut as I'm sure it did for many of you. I knew John was sick but was hoping he had time left and Billy was such a shock. Life is so damn short as it seems like only yesterday we were in high school as well as enjoying our 50th reunion with our memories and much laughter. I will remember both John and Billy with warm thoughts. I wish their families peace and love as they go through this difficult time.All my best, Dottie

I have to say, I was really floored by Billy's death. He and I worked out at the same health club, and saw each other almost every day until I moved to south Jersey. He was still the happy & laughing person he was in high school. Definitly will be missed. Marianne Triolo Downs
Dear classmates,
I know we're getting to the age when we start hearing of more & more people we know passing away. But to lose 3 of our own in such a short time is a little over the top. I am completely shocked about Billy Sica. We've been close friends since he moved from Maywood many years ago. May he rest in peace.I certainly hope that the rest of you are doing well, and please try to have a nice Thanksgiving. Even more reason for us to keep in touch and get together when ever possible.Good thoughts for all,
Skip

Torgersen Kari Waasjo
1946-2007

KarI was the class of '64's foreign Exchange Student. Her host family was the Sutherland's from Allendale. Kerri's profile was contributed by her lifelong dear friend, Jane Southerland Shaw Kari loved her time as a foreign exchange student at MHS. She took home many wonderful memories from the USA. After returning to Norway, Kari attended college for teacher training and enjoyed a successful career. She received additional training over the years and eventually left traditional teaching to work helping groups of troubled inner city youth, using new teaching and intervention methods. She retired a few years before her death in March, 2007. Kari, her husband, and their Beagle, were avid sailors and spent the better part of many summers in their boat traveling to different countries. Kari loved collecting beautiful glass pieces. She was an experienced knitter and made her American family beautiful Norwegian sweaters, which they still wear to this day. She baked her own bread, loved to read and walk her dog along the gorgeous Norwegian coast. Kari never had children of her own but enjoyed her large extended family and her role of “special” aunt to her niece and nephews.
Kari and her American family remained close over the years through letters and numerous visits on both sides. She loved having her 2 Moms and families get to know one another. Kari relished life and wanted to live many years more. But she lived every day she had to the fullest. She possessed the wonderful gift of knowing how to enjoy the small everyday things as well as life's bigger events. If she were still living, Kari would want to thank her American classmates once again for a wonderful year together in 1963-64. She would want everyone to know that she would not have missed the 50th reunion of the Class of 1964 for any reason ---and also, that she never lost her love of American ketchup.

WALD, JERRY A., 65 of Orlando, passed away on Sept. 2, 2010. Jerry retired from Lockheed Martin as a Director of Operations. He is survived by his wife, Maria; his mother, one brother and three sisters. A memorial service will be held on Monday, Sept. 6, 2010 at 2 PM in the chapel of Woodlawn Funeral Home. Arrangements entrusted to WOODLAWN MEMORIAL PARK AND FUNERAL HOME www.woodlawnfuneralhomegotha.com
On a personal note, I have nothing but fond memories of Jerry. We went through grade school and High School together. He had a quick wit. When an 8th grade classmate announced that her family was moving to Kansas City, Jerry quickly began sing:"They've got some crazy little women there and their gunna get another one!" Jerry was paralized in a diving accident shortly after graduation. Jerry was totally paralized from the neck down, but surgury restored the use of his arms. I visited him in re-hab the day he was told he would never walk again. He was depressed and discouraged, but in time and with the love and support of his family, he pulled himself up by the boot straps (so to speak) and led a successful life in a wheel chair. I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry again at the '88 class reunion in Mahwah New Jersey. Jerry drove from his home in Orlando. When people aproached him and spoke loudly and slowly to him he repliedI'm cripple, not deaf.!" When asked "what do you do Jerry?," he responded with his quick wit, "Oh, I have silver cup and I sit on the side walk all day and beg!" Then laughed and said, "I am director of Operations at Lockheed Martin." And when someone questioned why would he get married, he replied "I asked my wife the same thing, but she said she likes tall men!" Jerry, you will always stand tall in my heart and memories. You will be missed at our 50th reunion in 2013, but will be
remembered with tears and laughter. Gloria

Oh I am so pleased with it".......talkative....food.Twilight Zone... tennis....singing....cats...shoveling one inch snow falls.. . reading...... .hates soft ball..would like to be tiny and petite....."
High School friend Sue Estler writes:
Suzanne Wieme -Whitlock went to Douglass College of Rutgers University as did I, Josie Kominski, and Patti Olson (as I recall). Suzanne and I both served as class officers before and after graduation. She died of cancer in 2010 and I wrote the following for the Douglass alumni magazine:

It is with sadness that I note the loss to cancer on October 23, 2010 of Suzanne Wieme Whitlock, our longtime class secretary. She was predeceased by her husband, Ted, in 1987 and is survived by her sister, Marilyn Wieme Maloney and nephew, Scott Maloney. Suzanne earned an MS from Rutgers after graduating from Douglass. She retired from Hershey Foods after 27 years of service. She served her community as a tutor with the Lebanon, PA, Literacy Council. She loyally supported our class as an officer both before and after graduation. We grew up in the same small north Jersey town, as two “Suzanne's” throughout elementary and high school. We are grateful for Suzanne’s service and friendships over the years and extend condolences to her family."

Barbara Yauch

Barbara had an agresssive form of Alzheimer's Disease. She had been in a nursing facility in Portland OR for several years. Because Barbara was unable to write her own biography for our 50th Reunion held in September 2013, her sister Arlene (MHS '60) wrote one in honor of Barbara.
Arlene wrote: Barbara moved to Studio City, California in the fall of 1974. She attended school and worked for our cousin's factory supply company as his secretary/Gal Friday. In October 1989 she moved to Gresham, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. She was an in-home health care worker mostly caring for Senior Citizens. She loved her work and her patients loved her. In 2000 we noticed she was having trouble with little things. She was forgetful and just couldn't focus on anything. In June we went to lunch for my birthday and when the bill came she couldn't figure out how much money she needed to pay for it. We knew then that something was seriously wrong. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We moved her into an Assisted Living Facility but within a year had to move her to an Alzheimer's facility. Because she was so young when she was diagnosed at fifty-five, she was admitted into the Oregon Health Science University Research Program; all her medications and health care are provided by them. In return, upon her death her brain will be donated for further study. The disease took over very fast and for the last eight years Barbara has not been able to do any of the tasks needed to take care of herself. She doesn't know me and is usually asleep when I visit, no matter what time of day I'm there. Barbara never married but was a second Mom to our three daughters. Whatever Roy and I said no to, Aunt Barbara would say yes!! Our girls love her very much. I'm sure if Barbara were with you today she would raise her glass and toast you all, so I will do it for her. Best wishes to all of you!
