As time goes on, this is becoming more and more like an obituary column. This time it is John Marinzel who passed away from cancer four days before Christmas in 2018. He was in the same photo club as I was at OCHS and was photo editor of the yearbook. He owned some serious photography equipment back in the day. Helga his sister was in the senior years when I first came to OCHS.
Here is his elegant obituary:
In memory of
John Marinzel
January 28, 1955 - December 21, 2018
Every exit is an entry somewhere else
- Tom Stoppard
On Friday, December 21, 2018, John Joseph Marinzel, age 63, passed away peacefully at the Lakeridge Hospital from cancer. He was the beloved son of the late Theresa and Joseph Marinzel.

I can’t go on
You must go on
I’ll go on

Joanne Bond was editor of the 1972 yearbook and she sends this along:
remember the guy that always see at dances, at basketball, football, soccer, track and field, and volleyball games? who is always burdened down with a black camera case that houses a fantastic camera? and pops out of nowhere to snap candid pictures of students and staff so that your yearbook can be packed with photos to help us keep our memories of all those games and events and who is therefore, left out of the picture all of the time because he is on the wrong side of the camera? well, we do and on your behalf and ours we would like to dedicate this page to that guy, as our tribute of thanks.
Thanks Joanne.
