Subject: Re: Marcus Schooley Died
I knew Marc quite well. He dated my close friend, Bobbi Amidon,
for a lengthy period. I ran into him at least 30 years ago in the medical
center. He was taking tickets for med ctr parking and as I passed through
we both recognized one another and arranged to have coffee after my
appointment. He told me then of his dream to own a car dealership.
It was a wonderful chance visit and he was very gracious and fun like
always. I am so happy to know that he had a good life and that he loved
the Lord Jesus and that his dream became a reality. Thanks for sharing
this. I did not see it in the paper. Missy
1962 Classmate Marcus Schooley died August 30th. I remember that he was a good natured screw-up and practical joker. From the obit below, it sounds as if he made something of himself after high school. Funny the things you remember after 45 years. Rob just posted the announcement in the Obit column of the JJ Web Page. see details; also, see photo of Marcus in Talon Year Book above.
