Cath was a first-rate percussionist who studied at the Eastman School of Music.  She had a passion for music and all things percussion in High School.  Hard to believe she's gone...

Cath was a great friend in grade school and junior high. Nobody lived as fully as she did. I will always miss her. Love you, Cath

 A wonderful percussionist and a great person -- I remember Paul Ebert introducing her to Jim Gilpatrick when Jim was playing Charlie Brown in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" as "the little red-haired girl."

Obituary:  
Hank Carter - October 14th, 2011
Never realized all the times we shared together until his death. Everything from JJHS,church league softball, high school, living in Rockwood with me and Bob Johnson and fishing. Dave was very funny fishing. He was really not much of a fisherman but he was great to fish with. I can still see him standing up in the back of the boat and jerking on his fishing rod because he had 1 of Bob's expensive lures hung up in a tree. I hadn't talked to Dave in many years but I will always remember him as being one of my best friends. I think about his sense of humor often and what a good friend he was to me especially after high school. I miss him and maybe one day we can fish together again.
