Life After 90

Life After 90

This Gonzaga Magazine feature profiles three alumni who remained active and service-oriented well into their 90s: lawyer Marty Weber ('56), journalist Rol Herriges ('57), and banker Mike Paioni ('47), who recently turned 100. All three continued giving back through church work, community boards, and civic organizations, and the piece honors them as living examples of Gonzaga's Jesuit mission of service. Herriges passed away unexpectedly in January 2026, just weeks after being interviewed for the story.
