Every so often I see an obituary that really "hits home." Mike McNitzkey's was one of those that "hit home."

Long Time Educator Bill Hamrick Dies
CORPUS CHRISTI — Bill Hamrick, a former principal at Ray High School and a former coach at Carroll High School who worked for more than four decades for CCISD, died Monday.
He was 83.
Hamrick’s career as a teacher, coach and administrator spanned 47 years. Hamrick also was a principal at King High School, Wynn Seale Junior High and, for a short period, Flour Bluff. He also has coached football at various schools locally and across the state from 1950 to 1996.
He also served on the school board and volunteered within the community.
“He used to drive cancer patients to and from their doctor’s appointments,” said Kathy Harron, his companion. “He liked to keep himself busy; he didn’t sit still very well.”
Hamrick was a big John Wayne fan who owned all of his movies and would watch them over and over.
Brenda Marshall, athletic director for the Corpus Christi Independent School District, recalled that when Hamrick was principal at Ray High School he had a life-size poster of John Wayne in his office. Hamrick even reminded her of John Wayne, she said.
“It was neat to watch him walk up and down the halls … kind of like John Wayne walking off into the sunset,” she said. “He would always say hi to everybody. He was stern but had a presence that you liked being around him.”
Hamrick also loved to dance, travel and entertain, Harron said.
“When we were dating, we danced six nights a week,” she said.
Harron said Hamrick’s colleagues would often say he was the kind of guy, right or wrong, that would stand behind his friends.
“He always had your back,” she said. “He may have chewed them out later, but he always stood up for his friends.”
Hamrick, a veteran of World War II, served as a U.S. Merchant Marine, and was aboard the first supply ship to Nagasaki, Japan, after the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb.
He graduated from Howard Payne University where he received Little All-America Honors as a football player and is a member of the university’s Sports Hall of Fame.
Other survivors include his sons, Bill D. Hamrick and Jerry Neal Hamrick, a sister, Joyce Hamrick; a brother, Jerry Hamrick; and four grandchildren.
A celebration of Hamrick’s life will be at 2 p.m. Thursday at St. John’s United Methodist Church.

CORPUS CHRISTI — Bill Hamrick scholarship fund
A scholarship fund has been established at Ray High School in memory of Bill Hamrick, a former principal who died last month. Former and current Ray High School teachers and administrators gathered outside the school Tuesday as a tree was planted in the memory of Bill Hamrick, who served as the school’s principal from 1987 to 1995. He died last month. The live oak was sent to his family rather than the traditional flowers, and longtime friend Florence Jicha decided the school would be the best place to plant it. “He is history at Ray,” she said. “He made us all have pride in Ray.”
Contributions: Make checks payable to Ray High School, and note in the memo that it is for the Hamrick fund. Mail checks to: 1002 Texan Trail, Corpus Christi, TX 78411

Glenn Jauer '68
Walter Glenn Jauer, Jr., 59
years old, died on May 31, 2009, in Houston, Texas. Glenn had only learned that
he had cancer eight months ago. Glenn was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on
September 14, 1949, to Walter and Ethel Jauer. He attended Mary Carroll High
School in Corpus Christi and graduated from Brunswick High School in Brunswick,
Maine. Glenn touched the lives of all his friends and family. If you met him,
you were his friend. He was one of the most joyous souls to be among us. Glenn
made all of us smile with his vast knowledge of trivia on numerous subjects and
he usually had an amusing anecdote to go along with his facts. We all believed
that had he been a contestant on JEOPARDY!, he would have won. Glenn was
passionate about his beliefs in social justice and music. Glenn was a talented
photographer, a master of the guitar, mandolin, and various other instruments.
Glenn is preceded in death by both parents and his son, Walter Glenn Jauer, III.
He is survived by his grandson Walter Glenn Jauer, IV, his sister, Jean, and her
family, and his former wife, Mary. Glenn had numerous aunts, uncles, cousins,
nieces, nephews, a multitude of diversely talented musician friends, and two
wonderful companions, nl and Rex the cat.
Glenn's presence on earth was so strong that his spirit remains with us. If we
ever need a smile all we have to do is think of Glenn and recall the sound of
his laugh. A private memorial and internment service have been scheduled.

Chris Fox '68

2534 N Austin Ave
Georgetown, TX 78626
1-877-592-796
I have very sad news to report. This past Saturday morning a good friend
and fellow biker passed away. Many of you knew Chris Fox as the mellow guy who
could answer any question or order any part. Chris worked at Central Texas
Power Sports in the parts department and several months ago was diagnosed with
Lukemia. He lost his battle early saturday morning. There is no memorial or
funeral planned and I think being his extended "family" I feel like
we should recognize that this man's life meant something and we all
appreciated him.
The place is to be determined so check back for more details but I can say
that I would like to have everyone meet at Central Texas Power Sports on
Sunday Feb. 21 at 10:00 am and do a bit of a memorial and then ride out to a
nearby park to visit with some other family and have refreshments.
On a side note as of right now due to some people thinking only of themselves
and being selfish Chris' wife is being left with basically nothing... normally
we would set up a fund to donate to the Lukemia society but because of the
hardships his wife is going through I would like to set up a memorial fund for
his wife, Ming. Chris deserves better than what he got and I think that we
need to show Ming (and Chris) we loved and respected this man.
If you ever even visited the parts department new store or old you have met
"Fox" and definately if you ever ordered a part you probably ordered
it from "Fox".
If you need a picture go to http://www.ctpowerspo...
and look at staff pictures.
