Our classmates have a strong bond that makes it hard to lose one, even though we may not have seen each other for years. He will leave a hole in that group.

I remember Derrell from High School, class of ’60. He sat in front of me in several classes. He was funny and considerate and a great classmate. May he rest in everlasting peace.
