In Memoriam

In 2015, Northwood began holding a memorial service each reunion to honor the alumni, trustees and faculty who have passed away during the year. Fittingly, it is beside the fireplace in the Living Room where we gather to read their names aloud. Attendees are then invited to say a few words if they wish. We hope this brief but poignant ceremony provides some comfort to families and friends. It has become an important annual tribute. Since Reflections has been dormant for several years, for this In Memoriam, we are listing those whom we know have passed away since the last issue. (In the virtual issue of this edition, links to obituaries are provided.)
