In Memory


This page is dedicated to those classmates who were once a part of our lives.  Although no longer with us, they will forever be members of our
Class of 1969. 
Sadly - we have recently added over 30 new names of our classmates to this section.  Feel free to add a tribute or memory to any of these fellow Bulldogs.

Miss, you, Duck ... so many memories of you and Moose ... Bino and Di Graz and The Boys. What a great time it was over by Komarek with you guys who lived on Forestview Dr and on 24th across from the school. Mau, Pow, Chas, the Cannataro's and Erik up the street a bit on 12th. Good times ... from your old buddy, Berg.

Rick and I spent alot of time together growing up near Komarek school in North Riverside. We lived about a block apart. We had sleepovers, played swift and little league and APBA, listened to the Silver Dollar Survey, collected 45s, rode our bikes, talked about girls and generally hung out. Rick's mom would take us to Pottowatomie Park to play golf in her company outing in the summer. We'd ride our bikes to Columbus Park to play golf, and also to Meadowlark. Junior year Rick and I drove to RB every morning in his car.We even doubled on my first date with Mary Danukos. He took Debbie Gauzen, and we went to the 66 Drive-In.

Later we called him "Duck," because of the way he walked I think.

Remembering those days. Miss you Rick. RIP

Steve--

I'm sure the nuns never forgot who you were.  Neither did I.  Your presence was always known in our class.  Always funny, silly, but intelligent and insightful too.  Miss you.

Carolyn

As we prepare for the 50th reunion, Mary is missed.  She brought us together for a gathering at her wake.  We were there in force to remember her smiles, her smirks, her liveliness.  Just ain't the same without her around.--Carolyn

Mary was loved by all. Whenever I had the opportunity to see Mary she was always welcoming. I will miss seeing her at our reunion but I know she will not be forgotten. Always and forever a very special Lady.
