Richard Jahns, Class of '62, Passed Away

Received from Barbara Alm Mazzochi on April 8, 2026:
Sad news.  Just found out Kathie Jahns older brother Richard passed away in Texas. His obituary is online at Legacy.com.
Though he was he graduated a year before we did, many of us still remember Dick from our school days in West Chicago.  Our thoughts and prayer are with the Jahns family and friends.
