Marvin passed away at 1pm 01/15/21. He was tested twice at the hospital for Covid, and 2nd one was positive. He went to hospital to find out he had a minor stroke, but no bleeding in brain, also was type 2 diabetes, HBP, complete blockage of one aorta, partial blockage in another aorta, had trouble walking long distances which is why he still was working at Dulles Airport USPS Distribution Center 2 wks  before going to hospital why he never retired, he loved the work, and co-workers he worked with, only exercise he got.

Our family appreciates all the prayers, and blessings given.
He appreciated, and loved all his families/relatives, FB friends , and of course all his ISB’er friends, especially 67, 68, 69 & 70.

He went peacefully in his sleep with wife Shin, his son Jonathan, and daughter Stephanie(they all came to the 1990 San Antonio reunion, only one he ever attended) at his side.

God bless, and is resting in peace.

Departed ~ 3/21/2014 ~ Pancreatic Cancer

Dad lost his courageous fight tonight after 2 years, 1 month and 10 days to Pancreatic Cancer. I can not describe in words his bravery, his attitude and his battle. I will never do anything more important in my life than what I have done in the last 6 months–(and the last 25 months) to take care of the best man I have ever known–what an incredible honor!!!!! I’ve never in my life known anyone who loves better than he could!!!! I’m so very thankful God chose him for me!!!!! I am so very fortunate to have had such a loving and wonderful Daddy. I know I will see him again someday and I’m so very thankful he isn’t in pain any more!!!!! Alisha McGaughey

Complications related to Parkinson’s

Posted by brother Bill William Clarke  67′:

My wonderful brother Richard Clarke passed from life at approximately 3 am in Toulouse, France on 5/14/2019, from medical complications (Parkinson’s related) after a heroic struggle to recover over the last 2 and a half months in the hospital, he was 68 years, 3 months and 14 days old. He attended ISB from 1965 until he graduated with the class of 1968. He will be sorely missed by his family, his spouse and soulmate Christine Caminat, and his many friends in America and in Europe, where he spent so much of his life working in France and Germany. I will be posting more pictures from his life later, here is the last picture of him, he had this made for his passport renewal last year 2018. I will remember him always as the kindest brother of all, he was always gentle with people, never a mean word, he had a gentle soul, so handsome in his youth, played in a band at school called the “Soul Remains.” as I recall, with his brother David Clarke and others at ISB, God and the angels will take care of him now.

Remembering Roger Brady by Bonnie Geilfuss ’68

Roger Brady. It was over 30 years ago since last seeing/knowing Roger but I will never forget him nor things about him..

He and a number of others were part of the families evacuated from Vietnam. He and Peppy Doggett entered the classroom I was in, and ISB became alive for me.

I think I was one of the first of our class to get to know Roger. A spark of interest crossed between us in that classroom and I’m glad he pursued it. He was full of life, confident, fun, attentive and caring….but all guy, winner of the Golden Gloves title in the US, tough guy, liked by most. I think back and feel really fortunate to have had some time to really get to know Roger.

Roger wasn’t there our senior year, Sept. ’67 – June ’68 and he was missed. Many, many years later, just when I was starting to find some of my ISB friends, I learned in 1992 that he was killed the year prior in an auto accident. Its so hard to accept the loss of departed classmates. My ISB years had been 30 years prior, and yet they are more a part of me than so many of the years I have spent in the States since returning. My ISB classmates/peers are very dear to me. Roger and I remained good friends, even after we stopped seeing each other. He never stopped looking out for me. He was always there for his friends. A memory of such a time happened in ’67. We were all down at Barbo’s in Pattaya and I had had a drink or so. Roger and Marybeth came to my rescue. Roger came up and took me away from whoever I was with, saving me from my clouded judgment. He knew me and knew I was not being myself and not totally in control of my actions. He and Marybeth escorted me out of Barbos and back to where I was staying. As I’m sure many of his friends would attest to, Roger was there for you at the times when you needed him. I miss you Roger and I am so sorry we didn’t have the opportunity to reconnect through our wonderful ISB Network that so many of our classmates have put so much of their time/money/energy into to make so great.

The picture of Roger in the stance is a picture he gave me when we first started seeing each other. It was taken in Saigon prior to their evacuation.
