| May 31, 2013 | Fellow Alumni, I was informed today of the passing of Ruth Ann Bennett, mother of Robert Bennett, Class of 1978, and grandmother of John Bennett, Class of 2006 and Ryan Bennett, Class of 2012. Listed below is the death notice. Please keep the Bennett family in your prayers. RUTH ANN BENNETT (nee Dooley) died Tuesday, May 21, 2013 in her Cleveland home where she had been under hospice care since suffering a stroke May 6. Ruth Ann had been in failing health for the past several months as the trauma caused by a brain aneurysm she suffered more than a decade ago finally began to win a battle that she had successfully overcome for years. She celebrated her 76th birthday on May 5 with her husband of 54 years, Robert T. Bennett, Chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, her children, grandchildren and twin great grandsons Mason and Riley. Wakes will held in Cleveland and Columbus with a Funeral Mass to be held at Holy Cross Church in Columbus where Ruth Ann attended Mass as a student at St. Joseph Academy. Ruth Ann was born in Marceline, Missouri, but moved throughout the World War II years with her family as required by her father's work on the Manhattan Project. After the War, the family moved to Columbus where she was later to meet her husband Bob. The couple moved to a home in Strongsville, a Cleveland suburb, in January of 1961 following Bob's graduation from the Ohio State University. She quickly made Cleveland home, where she raised the couple's two children, Robert T. Bennett, Jr. and Rose Marie Bennett-Yonek and eventually kept her loving eye and steady hand on the lives of her grandchildren, Marine Second Lt. John Bennett, granddaughter Jaclyn Bennett and grandson Ryan Bennett. Ruth Ann also had a successful career as a Realtor for Lawrence Realtors in Cleveland, but outside her family and her dog Maddie, her considerable affection and determination was channeled into raising money for UH Rainbow & Babies Hospital Circle of Friends Program. She was a founder of the program and became well known for reminding contributors that it was all "for the babies." Ruth Ann (nee Dooley) was proud of her elevated position in her family where she ranked as the oldest of 63 grandchildren and played an active role in organizing family reunions. Much to her delight, the reunions were held surrounding her family's Missouri farmlands every five years. She also remained close to her sisters Ce Ce Matyac and her husband Daniel, Dottie Sue Rice and husband Steven and brother Joseph Dooley and his wife Barbara. Her sisters and brother all reside in the Columbus area. Ruth Ann is also survived by her daughter Rose's husband John and son Bobby's companion Becky Vardian. Her father, Alonzo G. Dooley and mother, Loretta Quinn, as well as a younger brother, Creigh Dooley, precede Ruth Ann in death. The family will receive friends in Cleveland from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday May 28 at the BERRY & MARTEN'S Funeral Home, 26691 Detroit Rd., Westlake, OH (1 mile West of Columbia Rd.) and in Columbus Wednesday May 29 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the EGAN-RYAN Funeral Home, 403 E. Broad St. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. May 30, at Holy Cross Church at 204 S. Fifth Street, Columbus, OH 43215.

| Jan 15, 2013 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for Joseph Lang, Class of 1955, grandfather of William Rouse, Class of 2013. Please keep the Lang family in your prayers. Joseph (Joe) Lang of Fairview Park and North Olmsted died January 10, 2013. He grew up in Lakewood where his parents were founding parishioners of St. James Church; he attended St. James school, was an altar server, and sang in the Boys Choir. He attended high school at St. Edward and graduated in 1955. He put himself through John Carroll University by caddying at Westwood Country Club in the summer and working as a tower operator on the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad, earning both undergraduate and graduate degrees. He began his teaching career at Elyria Catholic in 1960. Although he originally wanted to be a priest, he met and married Marjorie Ford in 1962, and they began their family of 5 children in 1963. In 1963, he joined the social studies department at North Olmsted where he taught geography, Civics, government, American and World History at both the junior high and high school level until his retirement in 1998. During his career, he also served as department chair and summer school principal. His annual reviews, discovered upon his passing, were highlighted with positive comments from students, parents and peers. Oftentimes, when he was out with his family, he would be approached by former students who would stop to say how much they learned from him. On a recent Thanksgiving, he received a call from a former student letting him know what a positive impact he had made on his life. He combined his love of teaching and travel early in his career when he and his wife (a nurse) chaperoned high school students on 2 consecutive summers traveling for 6 weeks through Europe. When his oldest daughter was in high school, the family hosted Carmen Ruano, a foreign exchange student from Guatemala. Carmen later returned to live with the Langs for several years while she studied at Tri-C. Their ties remained strong with Joe and his family attending Carmen’s wedding in Guatemala in 1989. Later, he and his wife hosted Carmen’s daughter, Ana Sofia, and nephews, Javier and Sebastian, for a month while they attended classes at Lakewood Catholic Academy. He was a founding member of the Fairview Park Jaycees and a CubMaster during the years his oldest son was in the Boy Scouts. While his 3 younger children where active in North Olmsted soccer, Joe served as both a coach and President of the North Olmsted Soccer Organization (NOSO). He was also passionate about historic preservation and earned an appointment to the North Olmsted Landmarks Commission. Joe also served on the board of the North Olmsted Credit Union. He was a prolific letter writer, expressing his views on a variety of topics and causes to elected officials. In his retirement, Joe had more opportunities to travel, visiting one son studying abroad in Ecuador, and accompanying another on a business trip to Lithuania. Joe and his wife spent a month in Italy with Mario di Gennaro, a foreign exchange student that lived with his wife’s family during high school. Joe reciprocated their hospitality when Mario and his wife Ana visited the states and he accompanied them to Niagara Falls, New York City and Las Vegas. In the past year, Joe and his wife visited a son in Turkey, toured the Grand Canyon, and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on a cruise to Alaska. Joe was a self-taught woodworker and handyman, mostly out of necessity maintaining a century home. He generously assisted his children wherever they lived with their own home improvement projects, even loading suitcases full of power tools to fly across country to do so. He was well-known and loved by the friends and neighbors of his children near and far. He instilled a lifelong love of learning in his children who all attended private schools and colleges and pursued advanced degrees despite the modest salaries of a teacher and nurse. They are: Colleen Rouse (Bill) of Lakewood, Michael (Chris) of Clyde Hill, WA, Brian (Kristin) of Little Rock, AR, J. Patrick (Heidi) of Lakewood, and Katie McGregor (Ryan, deceased) of Westlake. He was also a devoted grandfather of 12: Will, Emily and Charlotte Rouse; Ben, Jeremy, and Megan Lang; Jameson, Hayden, and Joseph Lang; Donovan Lang; and Colin and Mason McGregor. He is survived by a sister, Sr. Joan, CSJ. Friends may call at Chambers Funeral Home 29150 Lorain Road on Friday January 18, 2013 from 2-4 and 5-8P.

Tom was born Sept. 1, 1937 in Asheville, North Carolina to Velma Morrow and James Roy Willett. He was the youngest of 6 children: Roy, Ruth, Howard, Martha, and Mary. He married Earlene Joan McDaniel in San Antonio, Texas on October 20, 1962. He graduated High School at St. Edward in Cleveland, Ohio in 1955 and attended San Antonio Junior College, San Antonio Texas. In 1956 Tom enlisted in the Marine Corp and served 6 years, 3 years active and 3 years inactive. Tom's occupational history and skills were widely varied from stints at Southwestern Bell Telephone, advertising, manager of Dickies factory in Uvalde, and Personnel Director of the Tower of America's Restaurant in 1968 with Frontier Enterprises which took hold of his future in the food service industry. In or around 1973 with a small group of investors, Tom had his entrepreneurial spirit kindled in establishing the Skipper's Galley Restaurant in Del Rio, Texas. The business was successful, and the group had plans to expand into Eagle Pass, Texas where another restaurant was built. Due to economic conditions in or around 1976 however, this did not come to fruition. Afterwards, Tom and his family joined Earlene's sister and brother-in-law in Washington State and purchased and operated Driftwood Acres Resort in the Wenatchee National Forest near Cle Elum for approximately 1-1/2 years after which Tom, Earlene and their children returned to Texas. In or around 1978, Tom began employment with Whataburger Restaurants, Corpus Christi, Texas as an area supervisor and shortly thereafter left Operations and went into Whataburger's construction department as Director of Construction where he remained for approximately 23 years and retired around 2002. Tom cultivated and nurtured many meaningful relationships within the circle of his ultimate career. He took interest in those he worked with and endeavored to see them succeed. He created a sense of family among close friends. He was regarded as innovative and knowledgeable in his field. Tom enjoyed the Outdoors. He taught his children to fish and hunt. Hunting, camping and boating with friends and family are treasured times. He was fascinated by the substance of the earthly world, and always endeavored to build from that substance, be it a "coon box" for river camping, restoration of his father-in-law's redwood boat, the Rockport "cabin", or a 200-seat restaurant. He enjoyed building things, and whatever his interest, he found something to build in order to compliment it. In Tom's retirement he was an avid golfer and served on some occasions on the board of the Live Oak Country Club in Rockport, Texas and even found that opportunity to improve the grounds and water system. He played golf with his children and inspired them to find the value in that activity. Tom is survived by his wife, Earlene Willett; his son Mark Earl and his wife Maryanne residing in Austin, Texas; his daughter Pamela Beth, also residing in Austin, Texas; Grandson, Alex; and numerous nieces and nephews. A funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, January 12, 2013 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church located at 10205 Ranch Road 620 North, Austin, TX 78726 at 10:00 a.m. with a reception afterwards at the church.

Mark Edward Thibo April 10, 1952 to August 18, 2012 Mark Edward Thibo passed away peacefully August 18 after succumbing to a rapid but painless illness. He was in his home in Steilacoom overlooking the water, surrounded by his wife of 37 years Meredith, son Campbell, daughter Heather, Niece Shana and good friend Mike. His passing was accompanied by the sound of beautiful music sung by his children. Mark was born in Cleveland, Ohio, April 10, 1952 to John D. and Rita Thibo. Of his siblings he was preceded in death by Judy LeForce and Susan Thibo. He is survived by Jon Thibo (Ellen), Mary Beth Cornwell (Gary), Nancy Thibo (Adrian Hoye), Anne George (Loren), and Kate MacBride (Pat). He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and his grandson Teancum. Growing up in Bay Village, Ohio, he enjoyed boating and fishing on Lake Erie, time with friends, and sports. He attended St. Raphael's grade school, St. Edward High School, Heidleberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, then Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Washington where he received his AA Degree in Forestry. He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, backpacking, walking the beach, and skipping stones. It was this love of nature that inspired a career in forestry and brought him to Port Angeles, Washington where he started a tree planting business and built a house in the mountains for his family. Mark began work with the Department of Natural Resources where he was introduced to wildland fire fighting. He worked as a timber and fire manager throughout his long career and worked right up until his illness as an Incident Commander of a type 2 team on a wildland fire in Wyoming. Marks ability to play Bluegrass music developed along with his forestry career. He participated in several bands over the years playing the standup bass, harmonica, mandolin, guitar and our favorite the banjo. He had aspirations for the fiddle but that dream will have to be fulfilled in the band in heaven. His musical ability inspired his children who both love to sing and play music and think back fondly to the late night band practices that put them to sleep in their childhood. Marks other past times included working with the Native American Tribes and many organizations to restore the Nisqually River Basin to its natural state. He also served faithfully in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where he inspired many with his example of brotherly love and kindness to all. He enjoyed mentoring the next generation with humor and compassion and was active in the scouting program. At work he was known for bringing "treats" of dark chocolate and donuts to smooth over differences during stressful economic times. He will be remembered by all who knew him and he will live on in the people that follow his shining example. Till we meet again Mark Thibo, Husband, Father, Brother, and Friend. A memorial service will be held Fri. evening Aug. 24, 6:30-7:30 followed by a pot luck/music memorial in the back picnic area.

Please keep the McIntyre family in your prayers. October 19, 1935 - December 7, 2012 Brother Donald Patrick McIntyre, C.S.C., age 77, died on December 7, 2012 at Dujarie House, in Notre Dame, Indiana. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 19, 1935, the son of John and Mary Ann (Gibbons) McIntyre. He attended St. James Elementary School and St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio and graduated in 1954. He worked for a year and then followed his calling to join the Holy Cross Brothers and entered Sacred Heart Juniorate in Watertown, Wisconsin in September 1955. He began his religious training six months later at St. Joseph's Novitiate in Rolling Prairie, Indiana, where he pronounced his first vows on January 26, 1957. If you ever walked into a community gathering anywhere and heard waves of laughter, it was very possible that in the center of the group you would find Brother Donald McIntyre 'holding court.' He had his own way of recounting and coloring incidents and episodes in his life of many different ministries. Donald was never at a loss for words, an original 'happy face,' who could turn just about any circumstance into a hilarious story. He had a variety of assignments and experiences in Holy Cross. His first one was to learn the secrets of cooking from Brother John Chrysostom at Dujarie Hall. He then served as a canvasser for the Ave Maria magazine, and again cooked for the community at Columba Hall with Brother Amadeus. In 1966, he served as the assistant to the Mission Promoter, Brother Gonzaga Day, and helped him in many different chores. In 1969 he went to Boysville in Clinton, Michigan to help with caring for the students for the next 9 years. In 1978, he joined the Mountain Community of Holy Cross Brothers who were ministering to the needy in Coalfield and Harriman, Tennessee. He worked with Brother Gonzaga in his Thrift Shop and cared for the people in the parish of Blessed Sacrament Church for 7 years. In 1984, Donald was invited by a high school classmate to oversee and assist in a retirement community in Pompano Beach, Florida where he worked for 12 years, while also assisting the senior citizens in nearby parishes. He came back to Notre Dame in 1997 to join the nursing staff at Dujarie House. In 2001 he had a serious health issue which required open chest surgery and spent a year recuperating at St. Joseph Medical Center in South Bend before returning to reside with the community at Columba Hall. In 2008 he moved to the Schubert Villa at Holy Cross Village and in 2010 became a resident at Dujarie House where he continued his concern for others (especially his family and the many friends he made over the years) as well as entertaining the community and nursing staff with stories and his contagious saintly good humor. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 11th, at Our Lady of Holy Cross Chapel from 9:00 to 11:00 am on the grounds of Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame. The Mass of Resurrection will then follow with burial afterward at St. Joseph Cemetery of the Village. Kaniewski Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. |

| Nov 14, 2012 | Fellow Alumni, Listed below is the death notice for James R. Schoeplein, brother of Donald Schoeplein, Class of 1964 and Kevin Schoeplein, Class of 1971. Please keep the Schoeplein family in your prayers. James Richard Schoeplein ("Jim") passed away on Monday, November 12th, at Hospice of Mount Joy surrounded by loving family. Jim had been ill for 3 1/2 years suffering from lymphoma. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on November 16, 1934, the son of the late Wilfred C. and Mary H. Schoeplein. Jim was devoted to his wife of 54 years, Sheila Killeen Schoeplein, who survives him, as well as to his sons, Jeffrey F. Schoeplein of Sterling, VA, Jim Schoeplein Jr. of Lancaster; daughters, Michelle Archer of Houston, TX, Monica Larson (Eric) of Westlake Village, CA, and Megan Mergenhagen (Bob) of Royersford, PA. In addition, he was a loving grandfather to Lindsey and Caitlyn Schoeplein; Robert and Meredith Archer; Madeline, Jack, Mary Kathryn, Owen and Sean Larson; and Cecelia and Andrew Mergenhagen. He was the dear brother of the late Charles W. Schoeplein of Ocean City, MD, and surviving siblings, Karen (Ron) Turgeon of St. Louis, MO, Donald K (Connie) Schoeplein of Atlanta, GA, and Kevin D. (Lisa) Schoeplein of Peoria, IL. A devout Catholic, Jim was an active member of St. Anthony of Padua Church serving as a Eucharistic minister of Communion and past member of the Pastoral Council -- he previously had fulfilled these two functions while a member of St. Anne's Parish. He received his education at St. Christopher's School, Rocky River, OH, Benedictine High School in Cleveland, OH and was a graduate of Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. He remained a strong advocate of Catholic education supporting Lancaster Catholic High School long after his five children and two granddaughters had graduated. An Ecumenical interest led Jim to become involved with the Lancaster County Council of Churches serving on their Board of Directors from 2002 until 2006. He was a member of the Lancaster Knights of Columbus #867. In Jim's business career, he always had his eyes open to what was new and innovative. He began his career with National Screw and Manufacturing in Cleveland, later becoming a salesperson for Accurate Threaded Fasteners of Chicago, and United Screw and Bolt in Philadelphia. He found his real "home" in 1967 when he moved to Lancaster to become a member of the National Bearings "family." From his starting position as Sales Manager, he went on to become Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of that Company until he left in August of 1991. To his death, he had a special place in his heart for Boyd Heath, the owner of the company with whom he shared many special endeavors. In 1991, Jim fulfilled a lifelong ambition to open his own manufacturer's representative agency, Quadradix, later Quadradix International, and stayed actively involved until the latter stages of his illness. During these years, he served on the Boards of the Cycle Parts and Accessories Assn. and the Anti-Friction Bearings, Manufacturer's Association. Whatever he did, he did with enthusiasm and with his love for and interest in people. He enjoyed sports and was an avid hunter, fisherman, skier, and he never met a golf course he didn't like. One of his greatest joys came from his membership in the Tucquan Club and the time he spent "on the river" with fellow Tucquaners. He also enjoyed taking cruises with the Lancaster Pirates. He was a 40-year Member of the Lancaster Country Club where he served on the Board of Governors, a past member of Meadia Heights Golf Club, and Seaview Country Clubs. He and Sheila traveled extensively often on golf junkets to Ireland and Palm Desert, CA. He enjoyed his semi-annual cruises with his siblings and Mike and Karen Killeen. Family was paramount to him and each year the extended family gathered for an August vacation, first in Canada, then in Hilton Head, SC. He also was a member of the Lancaster Liederkranz and loved to comment that his list of club memberships included ¬Costco and he wanted that in his obituary. The visitation will be held from 3 P.M. to 5 P.M. and 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. on Thursday, November 15, 2012, with a recitation of the Holy Rosary at 8:30 P.M., at the Charles F.

In 2008, he relocated the company to larger facilities in Strongsville. His efforts are recalled, for many, by the large number of technical papers he presented and published. Over a twelve-year period (1986-1998), he was an active member of the Board of MetroHealth System, particularly in matters related to Building and Grounds. In 1998, he was honored by the Center for Health Affairs for his contributions to health care in northeastern Ohio. He was also a member of The Print Club of Cleveland and the Society for Contemporary Art. His particular specialization in art scholarship was "santos" - the religious folk art of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Mr. Cavano served as President of the Merrick House board of trustees - a settlement house in the Tremont and Clark-Fulton areas of Cleveland - and later as President of the Greater Cleveland Neighborhood Centers Association. He was an incorporator and President of The Cuyahoga Plan, a fair housing organization, and was an early advocate for public housing. During the 1960s he was a member of the Commission on Catholic Community Action and headed its Housing Task Force. The City Club of Cleveland was one of his favorite hangouts. He served as President in 1976, and, as part of the U.S. Bicentennial celebration for that year, led the group on a trip to England for its first Forum away from Cleveland. The Rowfant Club, a focus for his interest in books, elected him to its presidency in 1989 and to be chairman of its 100th Anniversary Celebration. Among his most interesting presentations were those on the Tremont neighborhood, his Life in Baseball, and the demise of the Sterling Hotel. Mr. Cavano attended East High School in Cleveland, graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1947 and did two years of graduate work in Mathematical Statistics at Columbia University. He served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II, in both the European and Pacific theatres.

| Apr 6, 2011 | Fellow Alumni and Members of the Class of 1957, I have been informed that your Senior Class President, Tom Zammikiel has died. I am attaching information from a Plain Dealer reporter. Please keep the Zammikiel family in your prayers. BEREA, Ohio -- The man found dead in the Cleveland Metroparks' Big Creek Reservation has been identified as Thomas Zammikiel, who was reported missing March 30. Cleveland Metroparks rangers confirmed the identity after a park visitor discovered the body about 2:15 p.m. Friday near railroad tracks and an electrical substation, spokeswoman Dianna Kall said. The Cuyahoga County coroner's office has yet to identify the body or rule on the cause of death. There were no obvious injuries and foul play is not suspected, Berea police Lt. Joseph Hedinger said. Police had been looking for Zammikiel, 72, of Manning Drive, who had dementia and depression. He would have been able to walk from his home to where his body was found, Hedinger said. Zammikiel was a retired financial adviser. He directed the Regional Income Agency, was the financial director in Maple Heights and Berea and was the administrative assistant to the mayor of Brook Park in the 1990s. |
