Our beloved classmate, Dennis Gunn, went Home to Jesus after suffering with pneumonia. Dennis and Les were the "cool"cousins" at EHS. Please keep Kimi, his wife, their sons and extended family in your prayers as they navigate their lives without Dennis. There will be a celebration of his life to be held at a later date. Memorial is pending.
