Willie Talluto 

He had signed up for the 50th Reunion but later indicated that he would not be able to attend.

It turns out that he learned he had pancreatic cancer just prior to our event.

I attempted several times to contact him through email and phone.  He did not respond.

Pancreatic cancer is basically inoperable.  He lasted about 10 months trying to fight this disease, but finally lost his battle.

I recall him as a dedicated musician and a strong supporter of John Briscoe, our talented band director.  I believe that he was also the president of the Rebel Band his senior year.
