Sad news on a class mate and friend to many. Mel Cunningham passed away yesterday about 4pm of a heart attack. NO services are planned but a reception honoring Mel will be held at a date/place TBD by many of his PHS friends.

Sad news. I knew Mel had dealt with serious heart issues for a long time. It's been a many years ago that he and I used to have a lot of laughs together. I hope SueAnn is doing OK.

I'll watch for the time and place for the memorial.

So sorry to hear this news. I remember Mel from the 6th grade at Tanglewood Elementary. BIG guy even then. Everyone liked him. We played Gray-Y football (remember that?) together. Another reminder that the Grim Reaper is lurking for all of us. Are we really 70+ years old? I looked in the bathroom mirror when I got up. Yup, 70+ years. Wait for us, Mel. We'll all have a Big Reunion in the bye-and-bye someday.

Was so saddened to here about Mel. We shared so many good times together from tanglewood through paschal. I remember in middle school he got a motor bike and taught me how to ride it and shift gears....we had some fun! Out of the guys I called friend, he truly was one of my best . I will miss you Mel and will cherish the memories until we meet again ❤️

I'd like to wish everyone in Class of 1968 a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!  It is so wonderful being back home in TX and being able to reconnect with friends!  I've missed so many big moments but plan to not miss anything else!

Really eye-opening to read all the loving messages about Wendell. Though I knew him for many years, we were never close. In fact, we got into a couple of (near) fights in junior high school during P.E. Lost track of him at Paschal and didn't see him at any of the Reunions. So here we are now with his passing (funny how hard it is to say the word "die.") So many empathetic and sincere expressions of mourning. It's funny; no matter how rough and tough (insecure?) we acted in high school, at this point in our lives we're able to express genuine feeling, even reference God without embarrassment. I have gotten to know people at our Reunions that I never spoke to or even liked in high school. Now I look forward to seeing them at the next get-together. I guess we really do grow up and wise up if we live long enough. It seems I truly missed something by not getting to know Wendell at Paschal. We are a good bunch of folks. All the "jerks" and "assholes" we remember from high school somehow disappeared -- or were transformed into really nice people. Reminds me of Mark Twain's comment: something about how stupid/bad his father was when he was growing up. Then by the time he was 25, it was amazing, Twain said, how much his father had learned/changed! Think about it.

Was so sorry to hear about Wendell's passing. We had many fun times at First United Methodist together. So glad we visited at the 50th reunion but now wish we had visited longer. RIP my friend and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

So sad to hear of Wendell's passing. I remember the good times we shared and especially at our 50th reunion. We are losing so many of our friends and classmates. Try to enjoy everyday!!

Wendell and I were friends even before entering Trinity Episcopal Day School at age 4. Our friendship followed  as our parents' did, for a lifetime. I couldn't have asked for a more loyal friend for all our 72 years. He was like a caring and protective brother to me. I miss him very much.

Amen to Tom Brewer;s comment! Enjoy every day you are given -- and tell your friends and family members how much you care for them. (Never thought about such things when I was 18, 19, etc. But now. . . .
