Kiley Hooding Ceremony @ Ambrose

The night before graduation there is a separate hooding ceremony for grad students. We're supposed to ask a professor that really made an impact on us, and I asked John. I didn't realize that only full faculty has the qualifications to hood, so John and I had to go back and forth with the admin to work out how he'd be able to. The dean of the program had to stand there with us, while John hooded me. I'm grateful for the memory, and that I was one of only 6 who took his class. - Elizabeth Fier

Kiley Singing Clash @ Wedding

My name is Mike Murphy. I live in Chicago, but I grew up with John Kiley. We had been good friends since we were 5 years old. I've attached a picture I took of him at his daughter Joanne's wedding. He was singing "Should I Stay or Should I Go" during the reception. I hope you can use this. I know Kathy and the girls always loved this picture. Mike Murphy

Steven Andrew Ontiveros, also known as Steven Andrews, passed away Sunday, June 11. He was 52 years old. Steven Andrews, a longtime fan of the arts and music, had friends in all corners of the Quad Cities, as he was well known for his hair-styling salon Steven Andrews Hair Design located in Moline. Steven loved all things outdoors, especially kayaking. He could be found at many an estate sale and was a consummate forager for unique materials and collectibles, many of which he would share with his artist friends for inspiration to create works of art. Steven is survived by many friends and family. A memorial celebration, called "A Beautiful Day," will be held this Saturday, June 17, at 2 p.m. (until the cops are called) at the River Music Experience in Davenport, Iowa. Donations made will go toward one of Steven's favorite causes, Living Lands & Waters. Live auction items will include Steven's plants, so friends can keep a little love in their hearts and homes.
