Sid Sprague's brother dies


This email was sent Friday by Nancy, who moved to Loveland, Colorado with retired BJ printer Sid Sprague a year or so ago after both their spouses died, to retired BJ printer Dick Latshaw and BJ business department retiree Harold McElroy:

Hi all of you,

I'm really sorry to give you more bad news - Kenny passed away very unexpectedly yesterday. He was in good spirits the day before when speaking with Sid and Sue & Kevin had just seen him last week end and felt he was doing well. We are leaving tomorrow to take care of details and his apartment.

The memorial service will be on Wed. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Paradise Club, 1710 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221. This was his AA Group.

Sid has had too much bad news this year.........please keep him in your prayers. He is being strong and holding up really well.

Love, Nancy



Sid's son, Steve, 38, of Middleburg, Virginia, died May 4. Sid's wife, Sandra, 64, died in 2003. Dick and wife Pat live on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, two blocks from Harold McElroy and wife Linda. Sid and Nancy also lived near them on Pawleys Island, until their spouses died. Then they moved to Colorado to be near Nancy's family. Sid lived in Cuyahoga Falls for decades before moving to the BJ enclave on Pawleys Island.
