Departed June 24, 2015 ~ Details unknown

Posted By: Debby Stinemetz Caulfield Class of 1970

I received the sad news today that former science teacher Phil Reeves passed away this morning in Marshfield, Massachusetts. He was 87 years old. He had been ill for just three weeks and died peacefully. I talked with his neighbor, Leslie, who has cared for him for the past 20 years. She said that he was greatly loved by everyone in his church family and they all knew how much his connection with the ISB alumni family meant to him. When Phil was in the hospital she wanted everyone to know who this amazing man was and she told everyone about his history as a science teacher beloved 40 years ago and today. Phil teared up and said, “Yes, my students were my children.” Leslie also told me how much he loved to dance at church. I told her we knew all about his dancing prowess as we witnessed it on the Teen Club dance floor at the reunions. A small funeral service will be held on Thursday. Phil was very committed to his Christian faith and wanted any remembrance donations be made to:

Trish Caulfield ISB Class of ’73 (1968-1970) died June 18, 2015 of cancer. Trish was my sister in law. She was the first person I met when we arrived in Bangkok. Later I met her brother and our lives were linked together by marriage.

Trish was a great animal lover. She began training the khmoy dog and a duck at her Thai house on Soi 49. She was an accomplished horsewoman, cowgirl and owner of every stray animal within 10 miles of wherever she lived. She is survived by two sons and 6 grandchildren.

Karen Lee “Kacy” Crans ~ Class of 1971

Karen Lee “Kacy” Crans ~ Class of 1971

Arrived ~ 06/26/1953

Departed ~ 03/25/2015

Kacy and I were close friends in Thailand, we would often stay up all night talking. Joel M., Mark B. and I visited her in 1971 at Selfridge AFB where Colonel Crans was stationed; we had a grand time. After that we fell out of touch but reunited in 1991. We chatted often through 2008 but sadly, we fell out of touch again.  About one year before her death we spoke two occasions, I wish I had made a better attempt to stay in touch. I will always miss your smile and contagious laugher, Kacy. Till we meet again, Chaiyo! DAW
