In memory of ...

Steve Cherweznik

Following graduation, Steve joined the Navy.  While enlisted, he sailed up and down the East Coast repairing ships.  He married fellow Class of ’73 graduate Cheryl Feltz, but they later divorced.  After his discharge, Steve settled in Jacksonville, FL and worked as a machinist. 

Steve died from a gunshot wound in 1979, at the age of 24 while embroiled in a dispute with a woman he was casually dating.  A neighbor got involved in the sidewalk argument and shot him.

Sadly, Steve’s younger sister Nancy (Class of ’77) died two years later in a car accident.
