I am sad to report that John Pritchard passed away on September 10. John was very active in the Westwood Historical Society and an expert on Westwood history. His lectures were always interesting and very informative.

It is with sadness that we share with you the news of "Coach" Russell Downes's passing yesterday afternoon (9/22/24).

The family thanks everyone for their prayers, support, and visits.

Per Russ's family, there are no plans for a memorial gathering in the near future. The family's current vision and hope is to celebrate his life next spring as part of an alumni baseball game at the Westwood High School field that bears his name. Information will be shared once there are more details.

Please keep Russ's children - Ken, Susan, and Nancy, - and their families in your prayers.
