Anthony Jonassen
From:  Pete Controvich

Tony was my roommate for 2 years in the dorm, then he went to the states to become the Valedictorian at McClean HS in Northern VA.  We got together again for our senior year.  While he was in college be began to have problems with his health.  It was later discovered he had Huntington's Syndrome, an incurable disease that attacks both mind and body.  Tony fought it for over 25 years.  he died in the mid '90s.  Tony was a heck of an athlete, he was a contender for 1st place in the dorm pool and ping pong contests.  He was a great friend.  He is missed

Ronald C. Jones
 

Ronnie moved to Europe and Chatearoux, France in 1956, when he was 13. Moving to Wiesbaden in 1960, he  attended WHS and was a member of TACH until 1961, when he returned to States for his Senior Year. Ronnie joined the US Air Force in 1964 and served until 1968 when he and his wife Irene returned to Germany.  Ronnie had his own business primarily working for Bendix International.  He was into electronics and built devices to increase production line efficiency. Additionally, he serviced and built the pollution monitoring equipment that is so prevalent in Europe today. Ronnie lived all but two and a half years of his adult life in Europe speaking German so well that he would forget the English words and would have to ask Irene what they were!  Even with a name like Jones, unless he told people, they did not know that he was American. Ronnie passed away in June 1993, one month short of his 50th birthday. Ronnie is survived by his wife Irene, son John Mark now 34, daughter Sharon now 32, of Morfelden, Germany and Sister Robbie,,,Ronnie's Sister         robbie@brightok.net

Barbara, was the love of my life, she was an Angel sent to me from God, she was the mother of my 3 beautiful children. 

She is very deeply missed by me and her family. A hole has been left in my soul. Barbara, was an angel.

Cancer sucks, big time.

It was a very long time ago, but we remember well, she was sweet, funny and smart.    We were so very sad when she had passed away before we could see her again.    Her family knew the woman she became, we knew the lovely girl she was.   You would have been very proud of that girl, she was special.
