Stephen Bird

Tom lived one house down from Greg ( my brother) and I on Wilson. We attended Howard Elementary, Adams Jr. High and DHS and played various sports together. He  enjoyed playing  football and basketball. Him and his brother Bob, would play catch with his Dad after dinner and we would join in. Or I would see him shooting basketballs through the attached basket to his garage. I will always remember his family would have a "haunted garage" during Halloween which would scare the living daylights out of the neighborhood children!   According to his brother Bob, Tom went to the Univerity of New Mexico and became a general contractor building apartments. He became a landlord and maintenance man of one of his apartments he built. Tom enjoyed traveling to other countries during the winter months. According to Bob, Tom never married or had children but had some heart issues for the past few years which included having a heart oblation surgery. His closest friend was Curtis Sharfenaker as they met at Adams Jr. High and their bond was forged through DHS and beyond. For those who knew Tom, he was overall a nice guy. Even though I lost contact of Tom after high school, my memories of him will never be forgotten. 

Guy, Happy Birthday! I was looking through some old photos and came across one which pictured you which I thought you would like to see. See if you can name our other classmates.

Catherine, as we just celebrated 75 years of D-Day, it was also your Dad’s birthday. Unfortunately, I was unaware and sadden to just read he died Oct 18, 2018. I sent him a Happy Birthday wish each year and thanked him for his military service. Please accept my late condolences.

Jimmy,
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day!

Hi Steve! When you touched in with me last you asked about Coach Lanzi. Since it had been a bit since I touched in with him, I decided to wait and contact him. It has been difficult since he can’t hear on the phone well and doesn’t answer the phone when his daughter Jathy is not home. Last week he fell and broke his hip. He recognizes Kathy and family, but is confused about being in the hospital. It is a good time to pray for him. He hasn’t gotten out of bed yet, but did start eating again today. God bless you my friend.

Dave,
Here are some "blast from the past" pictures when you lived next door to the Pazzenezes on Wilson in Dearborn. The first picture, Val P, Bob M, Pam P, John M, Greg B, me, you, Dianna P, Liz is in the seat. Second picture, Greg and you on top, John, Bob and me on the bottom. Share with your brothers. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years.
Since I do not have your email address, I had to send this to you through the DHS website.
My email is: stevenchrisb@earthlink.net Too bad you could not make the reunion as I was really looking forward in reconnecting with you. At least this could be a start. Take care. Steve
