Hello everyone!
I just wanted to share some really sad news with you all. The Class of 1984 has lost another member today...Brad Wilcox died from injuries sustained in a car accident on Sunday, August 27, 2006. I know that Brad was a well liked person back in school and got along with everyone...he will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers through this tough time!
I will post more information as I get it...I'm sure the obituary will be in the Southern Illinoisan on Thursday, August 31, 2006...probably in their online edition also.
That is 4 from our class that we've lost since graduation....Jim Hunziker, Angela Lindsey, Dan Adams and now, Brad Wilcox. Something tells me that Jim, Dan and Brad have hooked up to shoot some hoops, hit a few baseballs and maybe even throw a football already!
Laura G.
