Deceased AMCA Members in 2021

[Keith Kizer]

When members pass away, we are sometimes notified by other members or family members. In some cases we find out through this forum or chapter newsletters but we felt it would be best to build a list for each year. At the very minimum to list those members we have lost. This is by no means a complete list, only those we have been notified of. If you know any of them and have more information, please start a new topic with their name and pass along more information, bio's, stories, etc. Help keep members names alive by sharing their stories - Keith

Kieth, I hadn't seen this before and sad that I recognize so many names. I am confused about the dates at the end of the name, and location. Is that the member's date of membership? If so, I know some of the dates are not necessarily correct and I wonder if they had let their membership lapse, and then rejoined at a later date which would now show as their current membership origin. Obviously, many of these names are old time members and go way back in the AMCA. Like you said, it's nice to keep them in our memories as many of them did a lot of the heavy lifting in the early days.

It is sad to see the long list of recognizable names. And these are only the ones we know of. I'm sure there a many more that simply do not renew and we never know why. As far as the number at the end of their membership number, name, city, and state is the year they joined the AMCA. The history of the club and its growth can be attributed to everyone on this list. I like having this list to review so that I see many of my friends names in print. And after seven years I still consider myself a new guy in the club. But I recognize a lot of names I know from the club archives. Men and women who I know helped shape the AMCA and did all the heavy lifting long before there was paid staff to do it. We owe it to them to keep their names alive. Thank you all for reading and contributing.
