Sean Michael Ryan (1970)

Robert Stover sent us Sean's obituary (without a date of the clipping), a shortened version reads:  Funeral services for a Madison College student found dead in a campus lake in Harrisonburg Saturday will be held on Wednesday in Arlington National Cemetery...  Ryan, who would have been 18 on Monday, was the son of retired Army Chief Warrant Officer and Mrs. John M. Ryan...
... A graduate of Hammond High School in Alexandria, he was an outstanding student and was editor of the school newspaper, a representative to the Junior Class Board and a letterman on the soccer team.  He was also a squadron leader in the Civil Air Patrol and was active in "The Second Front," a military affairs club at Hammond.  At Madison College he planned to major in English and he wanted to be a high school teacher, college officials said.

We spoke to Bob Robertson and have heard from a couple of sources that Janyce died of an aneurysm.

David Thompson informed us that Jim passed away sometime in 1975, or in 1976.  John Leahy was a neighbor and confirms Jim's death, but was not sure of other details.

Suzanne LaMar passed away in May 1989 of colon cancer.   We learned this through Susan Sullivan (Roberts) who talked to her sister, Jeanne.  Suzanne was diagnosed with colon cancer in Feb. 1989, but it was too far along, and she was gone by May.  Jeanne said Suzanne was engaged to marry a wonderful man at the time, and her life was just going beautifully until this happened.

Susan Sullivan (Roberts) has been in contact with Lance's brother Curt.  She writes "Lance died of malignant melanoma and pneumonia actually took him. He left a daughter, Sarah by his 1st wife, and a son and daughter by his 2nd wife, and his brother Curtis, a '74 TCW grad. Near the end of his life, Lance was really hoping to locate John <aka Jhon> Settle, a very close friend of his, but he and Curtis were unable to find him. Curt is still hopeful about finding John Settle, as it would give true closure to him by fulfilling Lance's wish. Curt's email address is weaver@utinet.net and lives in Whispering Pines, NC.

"Douglas David Larson, 48, a longtime resident of Alameda, died Monday morning, April 2, after a lengthy and valiant battle with leukemia. An avid photographer and athlete, CPA, Berkeley MBA and CFO of his own company, Doug will be long remembered for his loving and generous heart, his beautiful smile, his bright mind, and his incredible courage and endurance in the face of insurmountable odds. He faced his illness bravely, and left this world with grace, honor and dignity.  Douglas is survived by and will be terribly missed by his loving wife, Linda Carlton. He was a devoted father to his son, John Barrett Larson and daughter Jillian Christine Larson, and was the beloved son of Jo Kirk Larson and the late Donald William Larson. Doug is also survived by his brother Richard Kirk Larson, sister Marlene Joy Larson and an extended family of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, in-laws and friends who loved him dearly and will miss him greatly."
