Hello Classmates of 1974,

I regret to inform you all that Rick Russell Anglen passed away in February. Rick's name in high school was Rick Russell but he changed his name to Anglen after high school. His wife, Rhonda, had been trying to get in touch with me since May and I finally talked to her a couple months ago. Rick was the father of four children, three boys and a girl and their names all started with the letter R. They were Ryan, Riley, Ross and Reanna. Rick had I believe three grandchildren as well. Rick and his brother Jimmy owned Russell Brothers auto electric over by service merchandise at one time. I believe Jimmy is still there and he still owns it. Rick was a good friend, a lifelong friend and it was good to see and catch up with him at the 40th reunion. 

Ricky Shrout or JD, if you need to get in touch with Rhonda for more details please send me an email and I'll give you her contact information.
Thanks Mike Weesner

I forgot to mention Rick Anglen died of Crohn's disease. He was in great shape at the 40th reunion.

George Hamilton

Thanks for letting us know Mike.  I was in Boy Scouts with both Rick and Jim, and their dad was one of the assistant scoutmsters.  Great times.

Jim Record

I am so glad I got to spend some time with him at our 40th class reunion speaking about some crazy stunts and fun things he did that we all either got to watch or hear about. It was great that he came and all the more reason people who have never attended need to come. Some of us who were at the 40th class reunion may not be at the 50th. May Rick Rest In Peace. 


11/03/20 02:13 PM #815    

 

Mike Weesner

I'm with you Jim sorry I missed the reunion. I didn't hear about it or see your message until just the other day. I need to get on here more often. Yeah he was in good shape at the reunion but when I talked to his wife, she said that up until the end he didn't believe he was going to die. I didn't even know you could die of Crohn's disease so I better pay attention to my doctor more. Good to hear from you Jim. I hope to see you at the 50th. God willing I will.


11/04/20 12:47 PM #816    

 

Jim Record

Great Mike because you are missed and it has been mentioned several times. There are a good many people who live close by who have never bothered to come and a lot of us would like to see them. I won't name names. God Willing I will be there but I too have had a brush with death in the last couple years so I am hopefully as theey really are a ton of fun!

Hi gang. Just noticed the last classwide forum post seemed to be from Jim Record in November 2020. Can that be right? So I thought I would drop a line to say hello to everyone. I hope you all had a great holidays, Merry Christmas, and have a Happy 2023. My mother passed away last fall. All her children and grandchildren got to be with her in those final days and again at the end. Now she is in Heaven where she said she was ready and eager to be. If you have older loved ones, take the time now to gather their stories and identify those family photos. Heck, while you are at it, start writing or recording your own stories too for your children and grandchildren. You and they will be glad you did. God bless you. James
