I'm very sorry to report the death of 4 old Sugar Landers.
Donald Brooks in 1947.
The first is Donald Brooks, who passed away on February 28th. Here is an obituary. Donald was a long-time employee at Imperial Sugar Company.
Charlie Tise in 1947.
The second is Charlie Tise, who died last Friday (March 16th). He and his wife Frances retired to Wimberley, but their connections to Sugar Land were always close. Here is an obituary for Charlie.
Frankie McFadden in 1947.
The third is Frankie McFadden, who died on March 17th. I think he lived in Spicewood near his daughter Kelly, who cared for him the past few years. His father was the third mayor of Sugar Land (1968-1972). Unfortunately, I don't have an obituary.
I don't have much on the fourth person, but she was Vickie and Patsy Guerrero's mother. Mrs. Guerrero was 97-years old/young and a long-time resident of Sugar Land. I will try to find more information and include it in a future post.

Here is a news item on development at old Central Unit 1 that appeared in the recent edition of the Sugar Land Sun.
And, here's another news item on a couple of notable old Sugar Landers: James and Mary Jo Patterson have been named honorees for the 2018 Fort Bend County Fair. Congratulations!
