That makes 29 (ones I've heard about) out of a class of 150. That's almost 20%.
Another high school classmate passed away

So sad for you...
Did they all die from various things ? I presume they were all in their 60's like you .. was there any pattern that you noticed?..were they all still living in the area , did they die from similar ailments ?

I couldn't say for sure. The last one lived locally, but not in the town we graduated in. Don't know the cause of only a few and that was pancreatic cancer.

Mine are dropping off like flies. We had a class of 625. We sometimes have as many as three die in one month. It's mostly the guys.

Try not to dwell on those numbers...
I was looking at a pictures from our Pig Picking when I surprised the wife with a renewal of vows on our 20th in 2005...
7 of those present, friends and family, are only with us in memory....

I check our FB page to see what everybody is doing. They show the obits also. I can send flowers or comment on the obits if I want to. Not many of ours have passed.

- Class of 1965. Newton, Massachusetts. We are all 72 or 73 years old.
- The class website lists 989 names as members (academic high school + trade school).
- Of those 989, 44% (435) are listed as registered on the site or known to be dead. The other 66% are listed as "missing."
- Of those 435, 38% (120) are listed as deceased, which is about what you would expect for our age group.

We lost 4 or 5 in the 4 or 5 months. One was one of my best friends, the other was a cousin by marriage (him from CV-19). I lost count of how many of my classmates have passed. Someone on FB is keeping a list. Ironically, the person who started the list died from cancer a couple of years ago. We had 703 people in my graduation class.
