ANNOUNCEMENTS

Here is some additional info on Dave:  Obituary: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nwherald/name/david-rampe-obituary?id=58173516 

Visitation for David will be held Thursday, April 24, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Querhammer & Flagg Funeral Home, 500 W. Terra Cotta Ave, Crystal Lake, IL 60014. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the National Kidney Foundation.

It is with sadness I am posting the loss of another classmate, David Rampe
Per today's newspaper:

David Rampe, 73, of Crystal Lake, died Thurs, April 10, 2025 at home. He was born January 11, 1952 in Wooster OH to David Sr and Winifred (Mayers) Rampe. David was a US Army Veteran and attended University of Wisconsin. After a successful sales career with Follett Library Resources, with territories based in Illinois and later in Washington he returned to Crystal Lake where he worked for the United States Postal Service until retirement. Following retirement he volunteered at both Centegra Hospital in McHenry and Crystal Lake Public Library. Over the years he enjoyed a variety of hobbies: reading, skydiving, scuba diving, flight lessons and riding his bicycle. He was a devoted and loving uncle to Alex and Katie, a loyal friend and a very supportive son and brother. He is survived by his siblings, Dan (Paula) Rampe, and Nancy (Jay) Adami and his niece and nephew Katie and Alex. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Matthew.

It is with sadness that I am letting you all know we lost another one of our classmates today. I'll share what I know which isn't too much. Apparently, Kathy Fletcher had back surgery in November and never recovered. She entered hospice and died peacefully today. (this was put on FB by her daughter Sara Loyd) Per Kathy's request there will be no memorial. Sara however asked, in her Mom's honor, drive with your music a little louder, hug your loved ones and have some chocolate. Rest in peace Kathy.
