Happy blessed birthday Jack, and Congratulations on your Hall of Fame induction. What a wonderful video of your life’s accomplishments.

In school, I always enjoyed Kenny's positive spirit and attitude. He was someone we all looked up to. Then, after his injury, we were able to witness even more positivity, but then we saw his additional courage, wisdom and fighting spirit. While he and I lost touch later in life, I will never forget how he continued being a model of strength for all of us. My prayers go out to his family. RIP Kenny.

I remember Steve so well from our days at East Jr High and Alton High. He was such an incredibly nice person, and I enjoyed his friendship in school. I'm sorry we never kept in touch much after graduating, but sending my prayers to his family and all of you who were close to Steve. 

I have such great memories of Karen from East Jr High, and from High School. She was such an amazingly nice person, and I loved our conversations. Sending prayers to her family and friends! Rest In Peace, Friend!

We will miss you at the reunion Jack but family should always come first!

I'm sorry that I'll miss all of you for the class reunion. My son, adopted from China in 2008, is an entering high school freshman and that weekend is his first 'homecoming' at his new school. My best to you all!!

I’m so sorry to read this about David. He was one of the first people I met when we moved to Alton, when I was 9. He was truly one of the really great guys I knew. My deepest sympathies to Georgia and the entire family.
