Rick McCord IN MEMORIAM Rick McCord, Founding Trustee, Life Trustee, and staunch supporter of EHS passed away on October 21, 2015. A window in the Benitez Chapel is dedicated in Rick’s honor. Appropriately it is the Choosing of the Disciples, where Jesus selects Simon (Peter), a fisherman, as his first disciple. In Luke Chapter 5, Jesus instructs Peter that he will become a fisher of men, bringing others to the fold. Through his many generous contributions to the School, Rick gathered many to the Episcopal High School community. As a founding Trustee, Rick McCord oversaw the renovations and additions to the campus in 1983 and 1984, allowing the first students to attend EHS. He was most proud of his work in writing the current Mission Statement of the School. In addition to his successful business, McCord Development, Inc., he served on various boards including UT Health, the Charles T. and Mary S. McCord Foundation, Memorial Hermann Hospital, and The Lawrenceville School. Rick is survived by his wife, Jane, and children Meredith '92, Ryan, and Anne. David Underwood David Underwood, a longtime supporter of EHS, passed away in August 2015. As it is written in Luke 8:15, "the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop." Simply put, without the vision and loyal support of Lynda and David Underwood, there may not have been an Episcopal High School. It is upon the soil of their good work that Episcopal High School flourishes. David exemplified the EHS mission, living a life of significance in service to others. David's service touched many institutions in addition to ours, including The Kinkaid School, The Methodist Hospital, the Texas Medical Center, and Phillips Academy. He was the recipient of many awards, including the Maurice Hirsch Award for Philanthropy presented by the Greater Houston Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Mourning his loss are his wife, EHS Life Trustee and Founder Lynda Knapp Underwood, his sons David Jr. and Duncan '89, his daughter Catherine Underwood Murray, and many family and friends.
