Deaths in 2009


It is getting that time of life that I hear and read of more of my old school chums that have died. And of course, also dying are ex-coworkers and kin folk. Dying is as natural as living and as sure as taxes.

A sad list. Friends and relatives who departed in 2009*

Randy Blake - co-worker
Bobby Cole - classmate
Ken Braswell - Co Little League player and schoolmate
Clayton Carnes - co-worker
Louie Clayton - co-worker and family friend
Oscar Freeman - Anna-s co-worker
Ronnie Howren - Schoolmate
Jay Hunter - Cousin
Frank McKenzie - Schoolmate and neighbor
Willis Scoggins - Family friend and neighbor's brother
Dora Hunter Spiva - Distant cousin
Sandra Wyatt - Schoolmate

*I am sure there are more I am unaware of.

I didn't know about Sandra Wyatt!

Had not thought about Bobby Cole in years, and then recently saw his obit in Tech alumni magazine.

Mrs. Leonora Ferguson Mintz died in Rockmart last week, one hundred years old. She taught school for 30 years, many children were her students. She's the end of an era of the right kind of teachers who expected children to behave and perform.
