More than 115 of our classmates have died over the years. We ask that you remember them in thoughts and prayers.
Below is a list initially based on information provided by the Alumni Office at CHS, which is incomplete. Names are presented alphabetically, by maiden name for women. When the date of death is known, it is also listed, and a link to an obituary is provided. We continue, regrettably but inevitably, to add names to the list.
Please let us know if there is anyone missing from this list or who may be on the list incorrectly. We apologize in advance for any errors.
Also, if you can provide information about the date of death or other appropriate information, please do so via email. Thank you.

Two classmates died while we were still in school, and are remembered in the yearbook.
Richard McGurk, January 17, 1962
Gerard Plante, August 27, 1961
Joseph McClellan died February 14, 2011. His obit was published in the Springfield Republican
Thank you for doing this for the class of ’64. Thank you for honoring those who gave their lives for our country. Mark Rivest was in my homeroom. I’m proud to have seen what a fine person he was.
Marcia Souvigney Jones passed away a short time ago, viz., Oct. 23, 2013. She was a great friend for the past 50 years.
Those who remember Mark Rivest, may recall his smile and great nature in this photo of him, on a break, in 1969. http://www.b2501airborne.com/Rivest.htm
An anecdote re Jim McCaffrey. He, myself, and possibly Bruce Ford headed to Hampton Beach that infamous Labor Day weekend. We may have somehow taped some illicit spirits against the fender, under the hood of a Bonneville convertible borrowed for the adventure. Is it my imagination or was that Jim’s picture on the cover of the Boston Herald holding an object over his head, the following Monday? An inauspicious moment for us Cathedralites!
Bill, thank you for the wonderful posting for the Memoriam of our classmates. So many gone so soon. I was truly surprised at many of names on the list. May they all Rest in Peace.
Gosh, as I read the list of names, I could actually picture most of them from so long ago. Such a fun, carefree time CHS was! Time passes so quickly, as witnessed by their passing.
God Bless.
So sad to see these classmates gine…but never forgotten. RIP.
Thank you for the listings here..many dear friends and classmates.
