As Bob Woeber (deceased) said in his e-mail, "I guess I never get used to these things although I certainly should by now." I can only refer to John Donne's quote, "Now, this bell tolling softly for another, says to me: Thou must die." This is the lead line of John Donne's world famous "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions" . In Bob's honor I've added the full text here. Bill, June 2007
Hi-Y, Honor Roll, Home Room Basketball, Home Room Vice-President Tom Arganbright (deceased) reported Harrell's death as July 12, 2005. in Gibsonia, PA. No details available.

Kay and I visited with Kathleen Doubleday on September 3rd. She said Jad had died on the 25th of August while sitting at dinner with her. He died suddenly and without pain or trauma. I will provide a picture and more information alter. I find it very difficult to write more than I have at this time. - Bill August 14th - Talked with Kathleen tonight. Jad is coming along well but is facing some time in rehab as he regains more and more strength and mobility. He is broken-hearted that he will miss the Reunion. - Bill Jad Doubleday had another stroke yesterday (August 9th) morning and is in the hospital. August 2008 (From Bob) Jad had a slight stroke in April of 2004. I talked with him on the phone and he said he was doing very well. Bill From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: As Jad and I went on to college at Lehigh together I was fortunate to to be able to interact with him longer than just High School. Jad was just as outgoing and pleasant at Lehigh. Over the year I was able to talk with him occasionally and see him at the 45th Reunion. In High School he was nicknamed, "Twinkle Toes", for his running style. Guys laughed at his small steps but no one could catch him! It was my pleasure to talk with Kathleen a week after his death and to meet his son, James. That was a very moving experience - Looking at James W was like jumping back 60 years and looking at Jad again! The resemblance was breathtaking. Jad, I miss you. Bill - September 2008
Information found by Tom Arganbright (deceased), May 2008, confirms that George Dulski died June 10, 2002, in Pittsburgh, PA From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: Bob Woeber (deceased) just advised me that George Dulski and Carl Mastandrea are reported as deceased. I did not know either one of them very well but I mourn their passing just the same. Sorry I have so little information to report about them. Bill, May 2003
From Nancy Staggs (deceased), August 2007: Joan and Jack had a very good marriage with five children to keep them busy, but with Joan's usual energy she also finished college, got her teaching degree, and taught in the county school system. Most of her married life was spent in Baltimore. Sadly, Joan died of lymphoma about 11 years ago. She faced that with courage and faith. I'm sure all of her friends miss her just as I do. Nancy
40th Reunion ===> Information received February 1, 2018 from an unknown individual assumed to be her husband from the wording: I just wanted to give you some more info on Nancy. We had nine children, we lost the last early. Then 23 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Nancy as you'll remember was beautiful and a outstandingly caring person. She was a great, great mother and her kids show it. She loved being a mother and. created a loving warm and secure life for her kids. At our gatherings she is always with us. Follow up after asking who the "Unknown Source" was: This is Jerry Scherer, her husband. We lost her much too soon, she died in 1997. I was in the class of 47 and arranged our reunions I am impressed with your site. Note: Joy Ostergard was married to Bob Hunter from our class. They lived in the area and Bob had a business Hunter Sales. I think the sons still operate it Jerry Scherer sent $100 to our 50th Reunion Committee in memory of his wife, Nancy Eckenrode Scherer.

Sally also leaves behind a countless number of nieces, nephews and friends who will miss her engaging personality, beautiful smile and warm friendship. Funeral arrangements by BEINHAUERS. Friends welcome at 2828 Washington Rd. (Peters Twp.) 724-941-3211 on Wed. and Thurs. from 2-4 and 7-9pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Fri. at 11:30am in St. Thomas More Church. Memorial contributions may be made to a charity of ones choice. Published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from 1/9/2007 - 1/10/2007. Per e-mail from Mary, Sally died Sunday evening the 7th of January, 2007 E-mail from Bob Woeber (deceased) just after this was published: Bill, there has been a missed communication re Sally Fellows O'Connor. Her death was reported prematurely. She is comatose and not expected to live, but as of this morning (January 6th), she had not died. She collapsed at dinner with her family on New Years day, and has been in a coma ever since. I, like Mary Hardy, had been told that she had died.. Later on we got a correction. As far as I know at this moment, she is still hanging in there. Bob. E-mail from Mary Murrie Hardy, January 5th, 2007: Dear Bill, Just wanted to let you know that Sally (Fellows) O'Conner died today after suffering a massive heart attack on New Years day. She never was conscious, and was in a coma for 4 days. She was always the happiest person and it was a pleasure to be around her. We had a lunch on December 23rd of a few of the class of 48, and I sat next to her, and we had such a nice time chatting. There were about 12 or so at the lunch, Bob Ott (deceased), Ray Ferraro (deceased), Bud Stevenson (deceased) with Eileen, Bob Woeber (deceased) with Margy, Bros and Peggy Richardson, Anne Mosites Miller, Chuck Hibler, and Sally and Buck along with Bob and myself. I don't have details of the funeral yet. Maybe you'll hear from some others, but thought I'd send along the word. Mary
From Bill Erdman, WebMaster, 1/5/07: Did you ever have a time when you wished you had never started some thing? Today is one of those times - I'm sorry I started this web site because death notices bring me personal trauma as I move a living memory from the list of the living to the list of those I will not see again on this earth. Mary's e-mail about Sally depressed me quite a bit. It is so sad to loose someone you knew and respected long ago and even more sad when you look at all the "news" the web site received about her over the last 59 years. The "12 or so" mentioned by Mary all knew her and watched her grow and mature over the years but those that moved away have missed knowing her. It is our loss and in some ways it is Sally's loss also that no one, including Sally, had taken the time to tell us about her life - All we are left with is 4 black and whites and 3 colored pictures. However, I will always remember Sally as an attractive girl with a ready smile and a pleasant disposition. Goodbye Sally, rest well. Bill, January 2007

FLEISCHAUER RICHARD "DICK" Died at his home in Bethel Park, on Friday, Sept. 26, 2014, four months after the death of his wife, Joan (Fallon) Fleischauer. He was 84. Dick was born to the late Fred and Katherine Fleischauer in 1930. He grew up with three truly unique brothers, Jack, Bob and Bill Fleischauer. After graduating from Mt. Lebanon High School, he joined the Air Force and moved to California. He wrote love letters to his sweetheart, Joan, who was back in Pittsburgh, and married her in 1951. The couple later settled in Mt. Lebanon and raised three children. After his time in the service, Dick worked hard as a sales engineer, but he made sure to have fun, too. Armed with a toothy grin and an arsenal of sarcasm, he knew how to make people laugh, even in the most unlikely circumstances. He and Joan always made people feel welcome in their home, offering them food and drink the moment their feet crossed the threshold, and sometimes even sooner. He passed his compassion, hospitality, and sense of humor on to his grateful children and grandchildren. Dick leaves his son, Rick Fleischauer (Cassie) of Rockwood; daughters, Kathy Comer (Jim) of McMurray, and Jane McCarty (John) of Brookline; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Central Blood Bank in Pittsburgh.

40th Reunion GAA, Home Room Attendance Squad, Medical Squad, Ways and Means Squad, Y-Teen Received an email from Mary Payne's daughter, Christine:
I'm hoping you could help me with the attached photo. The note is signed "Dottie". I thought it might be Dorothea Nill, but the photo I have is different from the one in the yearbook. I was able to contact Dorothea's daughter, who told me this is not her mother. I'm stumped, as I don't see anyone else in the class who might have been called "Dottie". Please let me know if you can do anything to help. Thank you, Christine Roberts. May 2023 My answer to Christine: Sorry. I do not recognize the person in the photo but I noticed in the handwriting next to the image that she was from the Class of '47. This indicates she was a year ahead of us. Hopefully someone will read this and give us some more information. I will forward to you if I receive any news. Bill.
Mary Payne Furlong (Goodenough) died peacefully at home in Newtown, PA, on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, at age 83. She was born in Floral Park, NY, on Feb. 4, 1931, the first child of Norman Furlong and Viola Vitzthum. Mary Payne married Donald Goodenough in Pittsburgh, PA, on June 14, 1952, where they were both students at the University of Pittsburgh. Her fondest memories of her childhood in Pittsburgh were weekends and summers spent on the Furlong family farm in nearby Finleyville with her beloved grandparents, James W. and Mary (Payne) Furlong. She continued to enjoy nature, gardening, animals and the outdoors throughout her life. When Mary Payne discovered her gift for tennis in her late 30s, she quickly rose to the professional level, and coached at Rider University as well as at local tennis centers, including the Princeton Racquet Club and the Hopewell Valley Tennis Center. Tennis was her passion, and provided a rich social life as well. More important than anything else in her life were her roles as wife, mother and grandmother. She provided her children with an idyllic childhood in a family filled with love. Mary Payne gave her grandchildren fond memories of truly magical Christmases and delicious apple pies. Her friends and family would all describe her as an exceptionally strong woman with a quick wit who would leave everyone in stitches when they least expected it. She was predeceased by her son, David Goodenough, in 1954; her husband, Donald Goodenough, in 2003; her son, James Goodenough, in 2005; her sister, Arden Furlong, in 2007, and her son, Charles Goodenough, in 2013. She is survived by a daughter, Christine Roberts; four grandchildren: Caitlin Roberts, Kyle Roberts, Alexandra Goodenough, and August Goodenough; a brother, James W. Furlong, and a sister, Ann F. Cummings. In lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Mary Payne, Newtown, PA, writes: Last time I checked all is well here, just up the road from Washington Crossing. My daughter and grandson are neighbors, cats and dogs are tenants, life is good. I would enjoy hearing from any of my classmates. I am delighted to see that so many of us are still viable!! November 2011 Hello, Bill. How very nice to hear from you. My gosh, my own children don't always answer my e-mails as quickly! I love your idea of bicycling your way to MtL., it beats flying, for sure. To answer your questions, Newtown, Pa. abuts to Washington Crossing. I live just up the road from where George Washington camped his troops before they made that famous crossing of the Delaware River on their way to execute their surprise attack and win the battle of Trenton, N.J. We have spent many New Years days watching the annual re-enactment of that crossing. Re' travel to Fla., I have not been there in a few years, it's unlikely I will go again. I had many wonderful visits in Fla. My sister, Ann Cummings, lives in West Palm. My sister, Arden Cristie, lived in Sarasota. Arden died last Nov. I have enjoyed reading your postings. Your life with Kay sounds happy and loving, all of it is about family, there is nothing better. I will make an attempt at writing an update, 60 yrs. is a daunting task. I think I might take your suggestion and treat it as if it were 20. I do prefer the idea of writing an update instead of a biography. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Best regards, Mary Payne - August 2008 August 2008 - Thanks to Bob, Tom, Bill and all who have done a superb job at posting all the news from our class. I am unable to be there but will be thinking of the good time all of you will have. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to be in touch by e-mail. Again, thanks for making the effort to find me. My best to all, Mary Payne From 1958 Reunion Newsletter: MARY PAYNE FURLONG Goodenough. Homebuilder. Husband is a PhD in Psychology & is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at The State University College of Medicine. He also teaches & does research at Kings County Hosp. Children: Christine 3, Charles 2, Dog Plus 7 Puppies. 235 Hawthorne St., Brooklyn 25, New York. The above list constitutes the names of classmates who are known by the Committee to have died or have not been heard from for more than 15 years. Considerable effort has been made by Bob Woeber (deceased) and Tom Arganbright (deceased) to locate all of our classmates. Last Revision: November 03, 2023 |
