Just received this sad note along with these photos from Larry O'Brien...
My good buddy from school days passed away yesterday. I sent you his daughters post on fb hope you got it.Too soon for the family to think about a celebration of life, I will let you know when I hear something.
It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dad, John Dennis “Denny” Rush. He
was known to me and Kim as “Dad.” He was known to our friends growing
up as “Uncle Denny.” He was known to Cole, Jenna, Tegan and all of
their friends as “Papa.”
He was an amazing husband, father, uncle, brother, and papa to so many people. He
taught Kim and I, along with Cole and Jenna, great work ethic, showed
us how women should be treated, and of course gave us our sense of
humor.He was married to our mom for 52 incredible years. The love they shared was truly a blessing.
He
is now in heaven with the Lord, and if you were to ask him how he is
doing, he would say, “Any better, I couldn’t stand it.” He
fought through a traumatic brain injury, two bouts of non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, but lost his battle with glioblastoma all while keeping his
sense of humor.While he will be truly missed, he will be forever in our hearts.
I love you DAD! Thank you for the incredible life you gave us all 🙏😢
This is very sad news... we just learned that Doug
Froeberg passed away this past Saturday after being in the hospital for a week with an infection
that turned toxic affecting his organs.
Please keep his wife Connie (Rogers BHS '65) and the family in your prayers. They have 2 daughters: Julie and Angela. Doug also has a sister: Carolyn Froeberg who graduated from BHS in 1961.
I remember Doug in high school... he always had a smile, was very friendly and fun to be around. He will be greatly missed by many.
There will be a service but
details are not finalized yet.

Ron Duncan I went to Jefferson, but earlier. There is a FB group.
Here is the fb link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1725270361083627
Jill Sullivan Yes, thanks for this link. My twin and I Jack and Jill Fishel graduated BHS 1969. Yes, that’s me 7th from the left, front row. My twin was in a different class. Our year had 3 sets of twins. So to keep us apart, we had split level classes every year. (Fun fact, one of the other sets of twins was Judy and Jill.)
I’ll send this to Jack, see if he can help.
Hi Jill.. Debbie Torres here. Just wanted to say hello from the class of ‘69. 😉
Betsey Nash I loved Miss Veazy!
Cliff Thompson Went to Jefferson K-6 and lived just down the street on sixth. I can remember most of my teachers but my 3rd grade teacher was the old battle axe whose name I’ve blocked from my memory! Mrs. Koch for kindergarten, can’t remember 1st, Miss Leppe 2nd, Mrs. Adams 4th, Miss Steadman 5th (my favorite) and Mrs. Scharf 6th. And a 1969 graduate of BHS. I guess we didn’t have any classes together.

Alan Arthur Landros June 25, 1952 - December 31, 2023
I
am so sorry to deliver the sad news that our dear friend, Alan Landros,
passed away on December 31, 2023. Alan fought his cancer diagnosis with
determination and grit.
Alan was born on June 25, 1952 to
Marion and Martin at California Lutheran Hospital in Los Angeles . He
was an only child and was raised in Burbank. He attended Jefferson
Elementary, John Muir junior high and Burbank high schools. He then
graduated from CSULA with a degree in police science. Alan became an
investigator while working at Forest Lawn as well as a security position
at Arco Oil.
Alan unfortunately inherited his mother’s poly
cystic kidney disease which greatly restricted his life. He was granted a
second chance at a full life when his classmate, Blyden Loutensock,
stepped up and donated his kidney to Alan. Blyden and Alan shared a life
long unbreakable bond.
To adequately describe Alan is a
daunting task. He was a gentleman with a deep Christian faith, a car
lover who enjoyed purchasing new cars throughout his life, a world
traveler, a tale teller and somewhat of a perfectionist.
He was also the class historian of our BHS 1970 class and he could recall minute details of most everyone’s life that he knew.
The
unfortunate consequence of being an organ recipient is the side effects
of the anti-rejection medicine that was crucial. It suppresses the
immune system which led to his many skin cancer surgeries and ultimately
to his stage 4 diagnosis.
Alan will be deeply missed by his many, many friends from church, school, his neighborhood and life .
His memorial service is pending and I will provide the information on this platform as soon as they are determined .
Once again, please feel free to DM me with questions or thoughts.
Thank you
(Written by long time faithful friend and classmate, Joyce Starleaf)
We are so saddened by this news. Alan was one of a kind friend who amazed all with his photographic memory, Plus, his kindness and generous heart will always be remlembered by many, Rest in peace my friend and we shall meet again on the other side.
Here are a few more photos...
Back in 2009, Alan and I walked around Bob's carshow and he could identify every car! Then he told a bit about the history of Bob's. You can see Alan around 4 min and again 7:30 min.
1/5/2024 MEMORIAL UPDATE from joyce Starleaf:
Hello again-
I wanted to let everyone know that Alan’s memorial service will be held on February 6th at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills which is just outside of Burbank
The time is noon and the doors open at 11:30. The location is the Old North Church which is at the far right rear of the cemetery. It’s a red brick building. A short graveside service will follow. Alan’s grave is a short walking distance from the church.
There will be a reception after the service . The location is yet to be determined but I will post it as soon as we know. It would be very helpful to us if you could let us know if you will be attending the reception. We need to give an estimate of how many will be joining us.
Thanks, Joyce
Pleas DM me with any questions, email me at joycestarleaf@yahoo.com or call at 818-612-0514.

Kathleen Wyatt Richardson Alan was a true Bulldog and will be sorely missed💕 RIP🙏
Billie Dayian Durbin I’m sad for us but knowing that Alan is at peace and painless makes me thankful for that. He was a heck of a guy❣️ He crossed my heart and mind around the time of his passing (unbeknownst to me). I thought, I should post something on Alan’s fb to let him know i was thinking of him. Maybe he was making the rounds to touch our hearts just once more. 💕💕
Susan Landing-Phillips So sad for all of us. Thank you for the constant updating and communication! RIP Alan. The pain is over.
Nancy Olsen Barry My heart is broken and I am so selfishly sad. We were both only children, but we spoke of this, I had my children and he had all of us. My tears are the loss I feel and not seeing him again. But I know he is resting now in Heaven with our God and without pain. He did all he was meant to do here and now will have enteral life in Heaven. Until we meet again I will miss and love you ❤️

Cynde Lee Bost Grant-Patsy Thurman such a perfect comment! Thank you, Fly High Alan!
Judy Rose I am so sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. I didn’t know Alan well until I took him to UCLA after his kidney transplant. He was one of the kindest and most genuine people I have known. I was always so amazed how much he knew about every classmate and person he knew and how much their friendship meant to him. May Alan rest peacefully🥀
Margaret Dodson Alan is no longer in pain. He is now in Gods arms and at peace 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
Margo Ewing He is rejoicing in Heaven even as we mourn him here. What a special person he is, almost singlehandedly bonding all of us together. He will be missed greatly.

Sam Cardenas So sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. Alan was a good person that kept our class connected. May peace and love travel with him….
Sue Palmer I’m in shock! I thought for sure he would bounce back, just like he had so many times before. We, the class of 1970 will miss you Alan Landros. You were a big part of our history. RIP my friend. The angels are waiting for you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gary Bric I spent a lot of time with Alan since his operation in May. A Giant of a Man and now has Eternal Life with the Lord and his Parents.🙏.
Richard Amato Sad
Deanna Bergman Very sad news! Kind sympathies to the family! 🌷
Peggy Beliveau I am so very sad to hear this 💔💙🙏🏻🙏🏻
Barbara Thompson Alan was among the first to send me condolences when my husband, Ron, died, and then again, three years later when my youngest daughter, Johanna, passed away. Although we were not more than acquaintances in high school, Alan and I became Facebook friends and shared a deep faith as a brother and sister in Christ. “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into your reward.”
Janice Stinson Beimford This one makes me very very sad. There is comfort knowing he is with Jesus!
Valerie Giessinger Scott Ohhhhh noooo. Alan and I talked just a few weeks ago and he was as he always was positive in spite of all his health concerns. He was soooo good and thoughtful to my mom. He will be deeply missed RIP
Nadine Aguirre Lujan Rest in peace.

Larry O'Brien You’re at peace now Alan!
Sylvia Witz Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. What a guy! He was amazing! Rest in Peace, you dear, dear man. ❤ You will be sorely missed.
Linda Sherbert Adams I feel honored to have been able to see him in ICU last week by chance while visiting another friend there, and meet Blyden. Alan was certainly one of a kind. We got to know him when he contacted my mother in law, Doris Adams, his high school art teacher. He visited her before her death in 2018, and came to her service. He also came to a party at our house. His knowledge and historian skills are unmatched. We have truly lost a treasure. 🙏🙏🙏😘❤️
Debbie Blatnik Roberson Oh Dear Lord, did you get a beautiful angel! Alan, you will be so missed but most of us know you are good with it. I will always cherish our special times when you visited me in Big Bear and we chatted endlessly! Burbank lost a historian, but most of us lost a friend. Say hi to the ones who have gone before us and you will be remembered always here. L, Debbie 😘❤️😢
Elaine Elliott R.I.P. Alan. Now with Jesus.🙏
Henry A Garcia Farewell, my friend you’re at peace  you will be missed 
Gary BricTop Contributor A Giant of a Man. He now has Eternal Life with the Lord and his Parent's.
Mary Drake Heartbreaking, a kind, thoughtful caring man . The world lost a good one, his memory will live in the hearts all who knew him ❤️
Doug Atzei The older I get the more I hear of people that died. I guess it comes with age & someday you will hear of me going to be with the Lord. I look forward to that day, but I just got out of the hospital being there from September & if the Lord wanted me that would of been great time & been fine with that, but here I am. I guess HE has more work for me to do. 🙏Happy new year! 🎊

Penny Jonas Barth What a fighter…
Charmaine Chastain Alan was a long time friend. We met because when sitting alphabetically in class, we were always sat next to each other. Alan even talked me into taking Latin and joining the Latin Club at BHS 😉. Alan shared many life events with me...my wedding, the birth of my children, his parents' memorials, my mother's passing and the crossing over of many of many of our pets to name a few. Alan cared deeply about his family & friends and was there to always support them. This photo is the BHSers that were at a get-together for Alan's 50th in 2002 birthday at Genio's in Burbank. In typical Alan form, he went around the table of 30+ people and shared anecdotes of each one's friendship with him. What a gift he was. Alan will be greatly missed by so many. Rest is peace Alan, rest in peace. 💙
Doris MacDonald Wow. He will be greatly missed- his memory for all the people and connections in his life was remarkable. He always took time fir others, and lived with an attitude of gratitude.
Karen Torres Weil Morrison A great guy!
Lois Paul He was a life long friend ! From Burbank to Friendly Valley, I miss him already !
Margo Ewing Alan will be missed by many. What a privilege it is to have known him and to be touched by his life.
Vicki Herrin Fields Rest in Peace ⚘️
Carol Baker I am so sorry to hear about Alan's passing. Burbank has lost one of their finest historians! It has been mentioned that he was the historian for his high school class, but he was also for the all school years. It seemed like he knew everyone, including their parents, brothers and sisters. If you asked him a question he did not have to look anything up, he had total recall. When I was writing the Burbank Senior Bulldog newsletter he was editing it. I made a lot of mistakes, and he found everyone one of them. He was not happy until it was perfect! Rest in peace my friend! Burbank will not be the same without you.🥲🙏❤
Mary Durrer Very sad
Virginia Hamilton My condolences to his family and friends. Rip.😇🙏
Beckie Ruggles I went to church with Alan back in the 60's. Was just talking about him with my cousin the other night. So sad to hear this news.
Victoria Hampton I have no words for the extreme sorrow I feel at hearing of Alan’s passing. He was a very special person. There was no one he didn’t call friend whether he knew you well or not. He reached out to keep in contact with as many people as possible from high school or anywhere where friends could be made. He’s one of those people who had the ability to make such an impact of love/kindness because of his infectious personality. A very sad day, but I’m happy to have known him; his gift to many of us.
Trudie Lombard Hentze I wrote on the BHS Memorial page, but forgot to sign my name, so I would like to repeat my tribute to a most amazing man, who will be sorely missed by everyone who ever met him. It was mind-boggling as to how he knew so many people in Burbank, where they lived, their siblings and even their parents. No one can ever fill his shoes! I want to thank Joyce Starleaf, Blyden Loutensock, Gary Bric and all the other devoted friends who were there for him everyday. Thank you, Joyce, for bringing Alan to the Sr Bulldog lunch a couple of months ago. It gave all of us the chance to give him a hug and silently say our good byes. God bless you, Alan. I wouldn't be surprised if He puts you in charge of all the Burbank Angels, since you probably know most of them already!
Cathy Coyle Alan most certainly will become a legend to all who knew him. He had an amazing talent for remembering the most minute of details of just about everyone in Burbank. He most certainly had a heart of gold & was kind to everyone. He had the most caring nature & would spend time, & look in on many of our classmates parents; since they had moved out of the area. When I had worked on editing the Sr. Bulldog Newsletter with him, his editing skills were unmatched. Although he was an only child, he had an enormous amount of friends that became family. He was a vegetarian & I was amazed how he could make a meal out of onions on a hotdog bun, with a side of beans. I remember one time when he came over it was time to go. We ended up sitting on our lampposts in the front yard for hours just talking. He was such a wealth of information. I always wondered what the neighbors thought as several of them drove by a couple times. I am comforted that he was a man of faith & that he will now be with our Lord & his beloved parents. I still can’t believe he is gone. We are all blessed to have known him.
Joan Chandler I am saddened by the loss of Alan! He had a wonderful spirit about him. I send my prayers and condolences upon his passing! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Linda-Melton Damarjian Such a wonderful guy. He fought the good fight. He loved his Lord & Savior. We will miss him, but know we will be chatting it up with him in Heaven. ❤️🙏😊
Michael Mc Daniel Alan was a great guy! I will miss our discussions about Burbank. I am very sad to hear of his passing. He was always funny and informative.
Julie Letts Yes, Alan was an amazing soul, who truly loved people and the Lord. He lived in my Mom’s community and would visit often. He will dearly be missed. We will meet you in heaven one day.
Santa Calderon-Vessella Rest in peace dear Allen.
Christine Rose Harkins I’m so sorry to hear this, prayers for his family.
