Gone But Not Forgotten – Players Who Have Passed
The players below have all been loyal NMRA members who have passed away. Two or three times a year, we honor their memories at our tournament banquets, and many related posts appear within the In Memoriam category. They are truly not forgotten.
If you have updates or corrections to this list, please contact our membership coordinator or any other NMRA board member. We need your help in keeping us up to date on our members and players. Published obituaries are linked from the names that also contain [ lifespan – dates ].
