Chapter Eternal
Donald A. Jones '52 entered Chapter Eternal on
June 25, 2021. He was a beloved and treasured
husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
Post-graduate, he was a distinguished military
student; then, he was a second lieutenant in the
Army. After earning a Ph.D. in probability and
statistics, he became a professor at the University
of Michigan and Oregon State University. He
loved going to Shakespearean festivals, traveling,
attending concerts in the park, and visiting with
his children and grandchildren. Donald will be
missed dearly.
Ray T. Schutter '65 entered Chapter Eternal on
March 28, 2021, after living with the effects of a
stroke for his last 6 1/2 years. During his studies
as a chemical engineer, Ray honed a desire to
travel and explore the world, all while raising his
two children. He established a travel-business
with his wife, Cecile, in Houston, Texas. They
adventured, welcome four grandchildren, and
gave back to the world on Rotary-sponsored
missions. Ray's life mission was to enrich the
lives of others and share of himself. He lives on
through those whose lives he touched, and we
are better for having known him and worse for
having lost him.
