I found this obituary for Mike Young on the funeral home website. "A memorial service for Mike Young, 71, of Grandview, Texas will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, April 29, 2016 at North Cleburne Baptist Church with the Rev. James Cloud officiating. Mike passed away Friday, April 22, 2016 in Cleburne, Texas. He was born in Dallas, Texas on April 22, 1945, the son of Peggy (McClure) and Rom Young. Mike was an attorney and also owned a swimming pool supply company. He was preceded in death by his parents. Mike is survived by his wife, Lisa Young of Grandview; sons, Mikey Young and Jeremy Young, both of Grandview, and Chris Young and wife, Lisa, of Midlothian, Texas; daughters Sheena Raza and husband, Hassan, of Lewisville, Texas, Danielle Raza of Fort Worth, Texas and Melanie Dillon and husband, Phil, of Maypearl, Texas; brother, Pat Young and wife, Roxanne; sister, Mary Kate Young and husband, Trent, all of Dallas, Texas; and grandchildren, Cassidy Young, Emily Dillon and Hannah Dillon."

Sharon, Parts of north west Houston are still under water. It is such a sad situation. You say 5" we had 16 inches in one night at our ranch near Brenham last week. The same for Houston for days. We have so many bayous and creeks it is inevitable with that much rain I suppose. I hope your boss' place is out from under...what a nightmare. I feel very fortunate to be dry.
So sorry to learn of Mike Youngs death. I saw it on FB along with the GoFund me request. Very sad indeed.

Lisa Young has asked me to let everyone know that they are accepting donations through a go fund me account posted on Mike's wall to help pay for funeral expenses. Also, I have shared this on my facebook page.
Mike loved his SOC classmates and called several of us frequently to try to keep in touch. Please give out of the generosity of your heart to help a dear friend's family in need.

Brenda, I did not know Mike Young well at SOC. He seemed like a nice young man. May he rest in eternal peace.

I hope Brenda Kemp will forgive me for cutting and pasting her post on Facebook. "I received a message from Mike Young's wife asking me to inform the SOC group of the arrangements for his service...it will be Friday April 29th at 10am... North Cleburne Babtist Church 1008 N. Anglin St. Cleburne, Tx 76031" It's sad to hear another Class of '63 member has passed. Mike's birthday was yesterday. He had a heart attack.

To all our Houston area friends and classmates, hope you are all okay.  The country club that my boss owns in Spring is under water and we haven't even finished the last insurance claim for storms and flooding!  I think Dallas got off light even though my rain gauge said 5+ inches over 2 days.

Tonight's TV news features a story about our beloved SOC. The DISD has not maintained the building worth a hoot, according to the my interpretation of the news. The students have walked out of the building on occasion. Termites swarmed in the clinic. They want a new building.
The story showed the chemistry lab in disarray. Mr. Headrick must be rolling over in his grave. That room was always in order.
Sometimes progress hurts. DISD needs another building to ignore.

More good news, just received my 1095 B in the mail, as I understand form it is to prove to IRS that I have insurance and is a precursor to Cadillac tax on health insurance postponed by administration until next year after the election .

Sandy, it's awful for people who are still working! It's also sad to have to sell shares while the market isn't doing so hot.

Yep, we're in that RMD category too. Or at least Don is! We too worked long hours and made it a point to save a portion of our earnings every year. Now the government is forcing us to take some of it out whether we want to or not!
I can hardly wait until I also have to start taking RMD. Bah hum bug!!

We are feeling the RMD reality, too, now paying big taxes on money we struggled to save years ago. Ow!
Sharon, I'm following the SOC "We want a new school" story, too. Have to wonder why the school wasn't maintained. The latest story I saw was about termites in the clinic. We had termites here, and we called the exterminator. Guess we should have opted for a new house. Silly us!

Phil, I share your pain. That's the worst part of my annual physical exam ... when the doctor does that "RMD" thing.

Have you all been reading about the plight of SOC?  I guess things really have been going downhill for a long time.  In preparation for our 25th Reunion, the committee went to SOC on a Saturday morning, and after all that time, I swear not even a floor tile had been changed out. Everything looked the same, except there were trophy cases lining the halls!  If DISD elects to build a new school, where will it be located?  Is all that land still at the back of the building?

I guess I'm really old. I did my first RMD I don't know if it is good or bad news but actuarial tables say I have another 24 years!

Thanks Lynell. Very sad to see that what I had heard is true. All of us have to struggle to maintain our integrity through this life in many ways. I really hate to hear Tim messed up so badly after having established himself so well. I hope the best for him and his family in the days ahead.

Hi, Steve,
Nice to see you here. You can Google Tim and find out more than you ever want to know. I believe he is currently serving time.

Please pardon an interloper on your site. Promise to go back where I belong after one brief comment and question. There was a fellow in your class whom I always liked. His name is Tim Wright. He had a handicap due to an arm that never developed but Tim worked hard for all sports teams. He was just a great all around guy who did not let his handicap hold him back. Someone mentioned to me Tim became a judge and eventually had some legal problems of his own. Without getting into his life too personally, does anyone know if Tim is alive and well? Just wondering. No other reason. Thanks for letting me on your site.

Eeew, Sharon! How you remember, I cannot imagine!!!!!! Yes ma'am I will be 71. Who would have ever expected us to be this old? My mother died at 72. I said she was young then. BUT, I had no idea how young she really was!!!!!!!
I went to a wedding tonight. The couple is so darling. AND so naive. I've been married 50 years and pray they can endure the rough parts along with the food to be where I am now.
You know you were my savior for Ms Stamps class. Remember???

Hi Sharon,
I hope you are feeling MUCH better. A friend in Shreveport told me today the their city has had 36" of rain so far. Whew!! We've had good rains at the ranch. Everyone thinks this will be a bumper Bluebonnet year, but not so around our area. Bluebonnets don't like wet feet and that's what happened this year at our place. We've had gorgeous years, but, sadly, this won't be one of them.
I recently lost mey voice and had a chronic caugh, but it is clearing up. And, too bad for Terry, I can talk again. 34njk

Did everyone go on spring break early?  We've had 4 inches of rain since yesterday morning and my yard looks like a lake.
