Kerry Urso

My brother was killed in a head on collision on his way to work in Haleiwa, Hawaii by a drunk driver. His girlfriend was one month pregnant with his son Kerry Kawika Urso, who was born April 22 1976. Kerry is a top-notch surfer like his dad and still lives in Hawaii. My brother was a big-wave rider and had lived on the North Shore for a couple of years before his untimely death at the age of 23. His son is a spitting image of my brother -- even chews his lip the same way. Kerry is greatly missed by my mom and myself, his son and his step-daughter Kanoe, who is Kawika's half sister. Kerry’s ashes were scattered off Sunset Beach, his favorite surfing spot when the waves got over 15 feet -- Lisa Urso '68

Rose, her husband and son all died in the mass suicide at Jonestown in Guyana on.

I looked up her name on the Jonestown site recently and found a picture of her there. What seemed so sad to me is that in that picture (I don't know when it was taken) she looked happier and healthier than I had ever seen her -- Philomena McCormack Ten Eyck '71
