In Memory

Death can show us the way, for when we know and understand completely that our time on this Earth is limited, and that we have no way of knowing when it will be over, then we must live each day as if it were the only one we had.  Life is so fragile.  Everyday is a Gift. 

This page lists the names of our deceased alumni. In some instances, we have very limited information regarding the dates or circumstances of their passing.
If any of our information is incorrect or you have information concerning these alumni please contact us. 


We were saddened to learn of their passing; so this webpage was created to pay tribute to their memory and to know that they will not be forgotten.
You may also post your memory of these classmates on their In Memory page. Click on their name below and then click the "Post Response" button.


"To live in hearts we leave behind, Is not to die."


 

When we graduated in 1973:


Life lay before us,
There was so much to do.
The world was ours to explore
When we left Needham High 's door.


 

There were jobs to be found
Higher education to be had,
And someday we'd become Moms and Dads.
Some chose to travel miles away
For others, this was the place to stay.


 

Some may have accomplished
Most of what they planned
And they think, life has been just grand.
While in other lives
Many changes had to be made,
We maded adjustments, Along life’s way.


 

But no matter what, As we gather once more,
I’m sure we’re glad, We’ve made it this far.
As we renew old acquaintances
And talk about the things we used to do,
We will learn we are short a few.


 

Some have departed this life along the way
And are absent from our gathering today.
Now as their names are all read
We'll remember things
 they did or said.

Faces will become vivid once more
Though they haven’t come thru the door.


 

So let us live our lives
Mindful of the things we say and do,
For the next one missing
Might be me or you.
