If it's Easter Time, Passover must be happening as well

Terry Hill ’60 died March 3, 2023.  The son of a career US Navy man, Terry was born in Corpus Christi, Texas.  He attended elementary school in East San Diego, middle school near Denver, Colorado before entering Crawford.  He graduated with honors from San Bernardino Valley College, and returned there later to get certificates in Industrial Supervision.  After his Honorable Discharge from the Air Force, he went to work for General Telephone (now Verizon) working his way up from lineman to Head Engineer before retiring in 1991.  Before moving to Arizona, he worked as a Telecommunications Engineer for San Bernardino County for two years.  After taking computer classes at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona, he worked in their IT department for a couple of years.  Terry enjoyed riding his Harley, going fishing and camping, and building and fixing computers.  He was able to survive a double lung transplant received at age 75 for just over five years.

Jerry Lovelady ’63 died March 31, 2023 from bile duct cancer.  He attended the University of Redlands where he got a BA in History and a Teaching  Credential.  He taught K-6 for 35 years in the Chula Vista City School District. In addition to teaching, Jerry and another teacher read a book on home construction and built two houses in Idlewild -- bottom to top without additional help.  Jerry loved surfing and camping. In retirement Jerry puttered in the garden and with various house projects.  He is survived by his wife Nancy, two children, and four grandchildren.  He met Nancy on a blind date at the home of Phil ’63 and Sharon Angus Piscopo ’64.  They became such good friends that they called themselves the Lovecopos.  Jerry’s first wife, Stefanie Bedillion ’63, passed away from ovarian cancer in 1976.
