Rachel Lynn Reeder

Rachel was a beautiful friend that fought through childhood cancer. After years of remission, she fell victim to a final bout and passed on May 21, 2019. She was a spirited woman that put a lot of faith in her friends and fought for what she felt was fair. Rachel loved indie music, often getting involved in the local music scene. I took this photo at my home in July 2011 when we were early in our friendship. She came and went from my life in less than a decade but left a lasting impression.

Cloy Clark Ebersol

I made friends with Cloy after I heard of him helping my neighbor friend with her groceries. He had a great big heart and a bigger personality. His sense of humor was perfectly complemented by his quick wit. I remember him telling his story, about how he lost both of his parents at an early age and got to know the streets better than anyone maybe should. This picture was taken during a brief period when Cloy and his girlfriend were staying with me when I lived in Tallmadge. Shortly after this, I purchased my home and moved to Canton, where we crossed paths several times. He even eagerly helped me with some home projects. Unfortunately, our paths would cross only once more, at his memorial service. Cloy overdosed and died, at 29, on May 6, 2017. He left behind a daughter he adored. Every time I hear that Twenty One Pilots song, "Addict with a Pen", I think of him. Oftentimes it still hurts.

Robert Cary Corr

Bobby was a special friend. He was 63 when he subdued to the ravages of cancer on the evening of Monday, October 14, 2019. This guy had the greatest sense of humor. He was always the utmost of class and sophistication. Bobby was an integral part of my circle of best friends when I was living in Massachusetts. He was an expert at Masonic ritual and was always eager to go over lines. He was also an expert at intellectual conversation; it was always a joy to get lost in a sharing of thoughts with this guy.

Richard S. Tallman

"Mr. T." was my Boy Scout Master when I was in high school. He would reliably pick me up for every meeting and event so I could participate. He also helped me get camperships to summer camp, where I created some of my fondest memories. He was a U.S. Army Veteran and member of our troop's sponsor, American Legion Post 232. Mr. T passed, at the age of 75, on July 29, 2019.

Justin Neville

Justin was 33 when he left us unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 2, 2014. He had a great big heart and a wicked sense of humor. We were both students at the community college together while also Brothers in Freemasonry.

James "Jimmy" Douglass

I befriended Jimmy as part of my experience with Freemasonry. Jimmy was a gentle, soft spoken, and highly intelligent man. We became friends later in his life. I took this picture outside of Mount Hope Lodge, A.F. & A.M. in Swansea, Massachusetts In Blue Lodge, Jimmy held the title of Right Worshipful Master, having served in the Grand Lodge.

Paul M. Whalen

Paul was 60 years old when he passed September 27, 2008.
