Services for Deceased Classmates, Widows, or Spouses
We are receiving information, from time to time, regarding services, Funeral or Celebration of Life, for people connected to the Class. As much as is known, such information will be published in this section. I am sorry that the listing might not be complete but it does include all that is known at this time (6/29/2026).

At Other Sites:
Heyward E. Boyce
A celebration of life for Heyward is planned for August 15, 2026, at the Hilton Marco Island, from 2-4:30 PM. Heyward will be interned at the U.S. Naval Academy Columbarium in the future.
From his son: Yes, pls share with the Class of 1957 and invite anyone to attend his Celebration of Life on August 15, 2026, on Marco Island, FL (info in the obituary). We will hold a separate ceremony when we intern him in the USNA Columbarium, which will be after my mom passes (hopefully not soon).
