Writing Obituaries for Our Recently Deceased Classmates

Here is a list of our classmates who have passed since our last reunion. 

In years gone by, designated HAA staff wrote the obituaries included in reunion classes’ Class Reports. Recently, HAA turned this task over to the reunion classes themselves. We think this is a good opportunity for a more personal approach. So please let us know if you would be willing to write or cowrite 

  • the obituary of a recently deceased classmate known personally to you, and/or
  • the obituaries of one or more other classmates, known to you or not, who need to be remembered in our Class Report.

Please email Peter at lerangis@gmail.com if you would be willing to perform one or both of these important tasks. 

HAA will conduct an obituary-writing workshop over Zoom in early October. We hope to be able to provide a link to the video of this event, along with written guidelines for obituaries.

Obituaries will need to be submitted to Peter by December 1, 2026 for light editing that ensures some level of standardized length and tone. 

Many thanks to all of you who volunteer to step up in this important way.
