In Memory
From Byra Warner ‘73:
Hi Jim,
I was randomly looking at the list of Classmates who have not registered or are missing and saw a couple of classmates who I know have passed:
Clarence Sutherland ‘72 passed away very young...can’t recall if it was in the service in Germany but I think so and believe it was in the 1970s.
Gwendolyn Sutherland ‘72 also passed away. Here’s Gwen’s announcement: http://www2.sjcpl.org/db/obits/recorddetail/rec/182249
This SBT obit announcement for Gwen’s son, Joshua Gidan, at the very end of the article, also proves Gwen and her brother Clarence Jr. Are deceased.
