The last time I saw Charles was at the 20th Reunion. We accidently met up at the ice cream parlor next to the motel. He recognized me first and came over to talk to me. We had a great time reminiscing about everything. His wife was so gracious to allow us the time. Was so looking forward to catching up at the 50th. He will be greatly missed. 

Bill Boyd

Hope you guys had a good breakfast, yesterday.  Just curious... How many people are usually there?  I'm hoping to make it to the 50th.  Wish I could be certain of things, but every time I make a firm decision, it turns out to be wrong.  I guess "hope" is as close as I can get to certainty.  Anyway, see you all someday.

Tom Collier

Classmates;

This Saturday (11th) is our monthly class breakfast at the Breadbasket. We will meet around 9 am. in the backroom.

(PS: I'm sending this for KIM - I know he's busy with his NEW house, so I thought I would fill in. - TC)

Life is good...

In case you didn't see it on Facebook, a recent PET scan found that the lesion in my lung has shrunk to 2mm and there is no sign of it spreading.  Watch out, Lung Cancer!

Terry Bernowich (Schmitz)

Great news, Bill !!! I hope you are celebrating the good news. I will keep praying for you to have continued healing.

Bill Boyd

Thank you, Terry.

If anybody has any information about Donavon Schmidt, other than what you can find on the internet, I would like to get in touch with him.

I would like to thank Lee Buller, Tom Collier, Bob Hurley, Connie Rhodes (and their spouses) for planning our upcoming 50th reunion. I know it takes a lot time and work to put these reunions together. I haven't made it to the last few get togethers on the second Saturday of the month. I hope to make it one of these days. I have had a lot going on in my life these past few months. I miss seening all of you. Keep up the good work!

Newton High School Class Of 1968

	Classmates,  Mary Collier called me early this morning from Punta Cana in the Dom. Rep. to tell me that Tom passed away in his sleep last night....... She is in a foreign country without any friends or support, so our thoughts and prayers will be very welcomed. They were down there on vacation at a resort they had visited before so they were not total strangers to the area. She said the resort and authorities have been very helpful working with her to get through this. She is on her way back home to make arrangements here. Details will follow. Tom was where he wanted to be, doing what he loved to do, with the person he loved the most. So as Meatloaf says "don't be sad cause 2 outta 3 ain't bad". Kim

Paula Graber (Morris)

Sending love, prayers and sincerest condolences to Mary Collier.  Tom was a wonderful man and his hard work on  class reunions, was so appreciated!

Dennis Schmidt

Tom had the greatest sense of humor and could always make all of us laugh so hard.  Our hearts go out to Mary and his family.  He will be missed!

June Nicodemus (Peters)

Tom had a great sense of humor.  Loved his quirky comments, loved his jokes, loved him.  He will be missed.

Martin Libhart

I had lunch with Tom every Tuesday, along with several other of our Class of 68 classmates. Still stunned after receiving the phone call this morning. I have been friends with Tom for 60 years, beginning in elementary school and cub scouts. Such a dear friend - witty, smart, and always a GOOD friend. We will all miss him dearly.

Barbara Gabel (Gabel)

I am in tears and speechless. My prayers and thoughts to Mary during this tender time. Tom will be sorely missed.

Roger Morton

How sad I am to hear of Tom's passing. Mary, my prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Lean on your many friends when you need to. I have really enjoyed being with you and tom at our reunions and parties, and I will surely miss him at our next one. I'll be looking for details about his services.

Sincerely,

Roger 

Susan Brainard (Ashcraft)

I have no word. So sad! Mary my thoughts & prayers are with you. It won’t be the same without him. 

Judy Legge (Kelly)

I am so sorry to hear about Tom's passing.  I will be praying for Mary and the extended family.

Arlys Kessler (Nilles)

So sorry to hear about Tom.  He was one of the funniest and friendliest guys in our class.  Prayers go out for Mary and family.

Cheryl Dawson (Stallard)

I was so saddened to read this news.  I had shared his musings "EGOS", with several of my friends.  He was such a fun loving guy and a hilarious way with words.  Much love to Mary.  He will be greatly missed.
