It's taken Internet searches, a few trips to the Berne Library and a stop at a funeral home to update the information on classmates who have died. There are still some missing pieces that we hope someone reading this can supply. If you have information, leave a comment on the blog or send an email to southadamsclassof1970@gmail.com. Your assistance is appreciated!
In order of death:
Marilyn Patterson died July 29, 1971 at the age of 19 from injuries from a car accident that happened three weeks earlier on Highway 27 four miles north of Berne. She was born July 10, 1952.
Randy Toland died June 8, 1973 at the age of 21 after accidentally being electrocuted in Korea where he was stationed with the US Army. He was born on February 14, 1952. Note: two sources list February 14 as the date of birth, one source says February 13. Can anyone confirm either date?
Kenny Jones -- at this point no data has been found on Kenny but we think he died in the 70s. Can someone provide us with more information? It was probably reported in the Berne Tri Weekly but if someone can supply at least a year and possibly the month it will speed up the microfilm search!
Bruce Weimer died June 24, 1986 at the age of 33 a few months after being diagnosed with cancer. He was living in Dallas, Texas and working as a computer analyst at the time of his death. He was born October 15, 1952.
