Kathy:

He passed in 2006! I was going thru the in memory list by year trying to recall how long a friend had been gone. Intake the teary eyed journey Thru the list once in a while and saw Arts name in 2006 and NO comments or reflections on knowing him! Needed to change that!! No clue what happened to him but do recall he had lots of stomach problems in HS and had scars from surgeries!!

While I didn't know Barry well we were familiar and got along well. Agree with Larry he was a good guy and got along with most everyone! 

Larry: Wish youhad asked me for Laz info as I have obtianed every copy of the Alumni directory when available and Laz had an entry in the 2013 & 2018 edition. Dont recall if he camde to any reunions and since remodeling the house havent located my reunion books yet but do have the Alumni directory .

Glad we got to talk recently. Stay well. We need to keep our names out of here!! :-)

 And I mean that for ALL WILDKITS!!

Somehow I missed seeing Art had passed away. We hung out together for a bit at ETHS and was a good guy. RIP my friend!!

Pat:
Did you receive my email
I sent after you shared info Re your experience with suicide? Jay@siegall.com

So sad. Another classmate and Wildkit who led a productive life gone TOO TOO soon. Every notice brings tears to my eyes regardless of how well I knew them or not. 90% of the names are familiar to me! RIP Carol!

Thank you Holly for your great memories of Bonnie I had known and been her classmate since Mrs Schwartz's  2nd grade at Oakton school and then 3rd to 6th grade at Dawes!! She led an active life and her passing is a shock. RIP Bonnie. Wish I had had one more conversation with you!

These notices are all difficult. This is one of the toughtest ones for me. Barry and I were classmates at Dawes School since 3rd grade and thru Nichols and ETHS. We were as seniors part of a car pool with Sherry Huff, LArry Schwimmer and Bernie Krule. I would say we were very good friends thru out the years. My late son and I visited Barry in Albuqurque, NM when we were looking for a private school there for my son. Had a great time and visit with Barry at the time having a very good talk with my son regarding my sons issues with POT at the time. That was when my son Brett was about 15. Even thru Brett's 30's he would occasionaly ask about Barry! And Barry would always ask me about Brett. The last time I spoke with Barry was in April last year after Brett's suicide! Barry was one of the sweetes kindest soft spoken people you could ever know. Unfortunatly I had no idea he had health issues or what had happened. RIP my friend. You are missed!!!!!!

Just found this today. The obi was in the Chicago Tribune May 10, 2009

Stuart Franklin Zweig, died April 29, 2009, in San Antonio, TX. He left behind four children: Mary Elizabeth and Jessica Marie of San Antonio, TX; the late parents Arthur and Ida Zweig; the late brother Herbert Zweig. Survived by brother Marshall Zweig; and many nieces and nephews.

Like another dagger when I opened this yesterday and brought tears to my eyes! It's not like we were close buds but besides being a fellow wildkit he was a good guy who I did know from little league baseball at 12 yrs old thru high school. So so sad to see a good guy gone so soon. Thank you Susan for the woderful tribute to your man!! RIP Alan!!

RIP Rick. Only casually knew you at ETHS but you are gone much too soon. No obituary I could find but search shows you lived in Pompano Beach FL. Hope you had many good years in Florida. So sad another 64 Wildkit gone much too soon!!And I see we shared a St Patrick's Day birthday. Son sorry we didn't know that in HS. Could have shared some great celebrations. RIP??.
