    We are so completely heartbroken, and still can’t believe you are gone but know you will never be forgotten. I will cherish all our memories from the past 20 years sharing life with you. You will forever be in our beautiful children’s hearts and we will keep your legacy alive. The boys and I will never stop loving you and lifting you up…Until we meet again <3

    I am saddened to hear of Ted and Pat both passing away. They were great neighbors to my parents, Peck and Marcie Graves and my son Robert Newton. They were hard working people who loved having a beautifully manicured yard and amazing flowers. Our condolences to the families of Pat and Ted and their friends.

    When we were house hunting in Virginia Beach, Yoko and John graciously housed my family in their Sea Breeze home. Little did I know that we would become neighbors several years later. Yoko would always greet us from the bottom of the driveway when we were out on our walk. Gracious and always perfect in her appearance every time we would meet! My family has very fond memories of Yoko and John. The Chidesters

    Mom – I miss you so much but I am glad that you have journeyed home to Heaven. Through the tears, my heart smiles because I know that you are happy, reunited with dad, and watching down from the Heavens as my Guardian Angel. I am heartbroken – there is no denying that … but I will be OK. You taught me to be strong, and I will give my best to follow in your footsteps. I miss you, mom and I will hold you in my heart every day until we meet again. Love love love you!

    Our love and sympathy to Kit’s family. We worshipped together with her and your Dad, shared dinners and wonderful memories. Kit’s gift of floral design was truly a gift which she shared generously at St Nicholas and later at Westminster. We last saw her at a fundraiser at WC a year ago this pat Christmas. She made a unique arrangement…in a gown! I was blessed to work with Dick on the columbarium committee. Gentle, loving caring people they both were. We will hold them in our heart and memory.

    Mom: Thank you for being the best mom and friend anyone could have. You were honestly the strongest yet kindest person I’ve ever known. I have many wonderful memories, cards, and photos that bring me peace and joy. I’ll cherish them always until we meet again. I know you are at peace with Dad and enjoying your time together. While I miss you terribly I celebrate your reunion. I miss and love you both so much. Thank you for always being there for us.

    My sincere condolences to the Haughton Family. This pain of heart Jehovah will end soon, but will soften each day during your grieving process. I will never forget my visits to my grandmother Florence Creasy and my Aunt Eva Smith in Bremo Bluff,VA. The highlight of the week was field service with Joyce and the other pioneers on Tuesday and then the midweek book study. I was only 12/13 years old but from Joyce I learned the pioneer spirit. Her faithfulness will be rewarded.

    It saddens me to hear about the passing of Joyce. I’ve known her since 1964 when her Mother invited my Mom to the Kingdom Hall. We were neighbors for years. Don’t dwell on her passing but celebrate the life she lived well. Revelations 21:4 says “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning not outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” We look forward to seeing her again!

But for now her race is complete and we look forward to seeing the fulfillment of Jehovah’s many promises…when we can welcome Joyce back to a paradise right here on earth.

    I’m so very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We taught science across the hall from each other, and had wonderful times together at Princess Anne. Often, before school, Jim, Mrs. Agami, and I would be laughing so much at his comments – our days couldn’t have started any better. I appreciated the produce he thoughtfully brought in from his amazing gardens, especially since I could seem to grow anything. Jim was always the one with the answers, and always willing to share materials and ideas. I hope memories of him are of some comfort to Maddie and his family during these difficult days.

    I have known Adam through his cousin, April, since our high school days, and I was so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to all of his family, especially to Aunt Debby, Aunt Kathy, April, and Adam’s daughter. Adam was friendly, fun to be around, and had a gentle charm that always appealed to me. I saw him off and on throughout the years in April’s company, and he was always good for a chat, always took an interest in how I was doing, and he even lent me a favorite book of poetry once. I have included a picture of us in 2003 at a hotel down by the beach, which I’ll remember him by. Adam was unforgettable, and he will be missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.

    I lost one of my absolute giants this month.
    James was a natural and gifted teacher for 4 decades – the type you read about in magazines, or hear about on those old Sunday Morning Charles Kuralt shows. He knew how to light the spark in the brains of kids – in Science and Math, and the absolute wonders of the world and Astronomy. It was his passion – and one he championed among those he taught.
    When I was 14, he was the one that took me on fishing trips to get me out of the house, while my mom was going through the brutalities of Chemo – traveling a dead end street lined with 4 or 5 different simultaneous cancers. He sat me down in 1984 and said: “You know she doesn’t have much longer before the end comes.” Words I needed to hear out loud, as a jerk adolescent.
    In 1979 or so, he was a Geology student of my fathers. He soon became one of my parents’ closest friends, and a true uncle figure for me – but also far MORE than an uncle. Never one to shy away from the truth, he taught me many good – and sometimes difficult lessons. He was a born scientist, and he always strove for truth in all things.
    I owe a great deal of who I am as a man, to the teachings of James Steven Loeffler. My desire to learn… my sense of humor…humility…even elements of my laugh. He cooked. He gardened. He made people laugh nervously, even when they knew the jokes were a little too dirty for polite company.
    He was (as my mother so aptly put it) “…beautiful until he opened his mouth to speak.”
    I know you had your battles James, and you didn’t win every one. But I am honored to have shared some very special time on this planet with you. God Speed. I hope you and Kim (and my parents; Art and Helen,) are whooping it up and telling good stories long into the never-ending night. You were loved my friend.

    Sending sincere condolences to Jim’s entire family . I met Jim in my freshman year of college at Edinboro State College ( now Edinboro University) We met when I joined The Ski Patrol at Mount Pleasant. We became best friends very quickly and were inseparable during my four years at Edinboro. We shared so many good times and happy memories on our skis, bikes and with our friends. Jim helped, supported and” tutored” me in science and typed all of my papers for me( long before PC’s and laptops). Jim was an incredible and gifted teacher and was loved by his fellow teachers and students. He was a thoughtful, loyal and amazing friend and a kind and gentle soul. May his memory be a blessing.

    We are very saddened by the great loss of the Dibble family; our hearts are broken. Marcel was a giver to all and didn’t expect anything in return. A look back at her life demonstrates her dedication to others, from teaching children her entire adult life to raising two of the most beautiful human beings I know, is proof of what a loving gift to life Marcel was. Time heals and memories fade but what you leave behind forever contributes to the positive legacy of life. Marcel’s left a great legacy through the children she taught, the people she touched and her own wonderful family. Peace and love to them all…

    I pray that they memory of the good times you shared will quickly grow to fill the void you feel today.

    As a co-worker and friend of 29 years, Mike has left his footprints in my life. I will never forget all his kindnesses, wisdom and, of course, the laughs we shared over the years. He was a special person and words cannot describe how sorry I am at his loss. It is with deep sympathy that I offer my sincere condolences to you and your family.

    Alice, Nick and family I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike Olenik for about 20 years. Mike was always full of fun, curiosity, creativity and compassion. As contractors, we visited many places and met many different people. Mike was first to reach out and embrace new folks and ideas. Together, he and Alice raised a beautiful family and were usually the center of the joyous and frenetic activities in their neighborhood. There seemed to be so much happening that it was almost scary, but they were there and in control. How incredible is that? But, best of all, Mike was a good and just man. I know I am not alone in saying that He will be missed. We need men and families like this in our lives. Thanks, Mike and Alice, for sharing.

    I was a good friend of Steve’s for many years. We worked along side each other, played golf together, and we talked outside of that about the Lord. Steve was a wonderful man, always had a smile on his face and could make any person laugh he was around. He is definitely missed for sure. My condolences go out to all Steve’s family in this time of mourning. We know he is playing golf 24/7 in heaven now with that never forgotten smile on his face.

    Life is only too short if you haven’t lived every day you were given. Michael Olenik was a giant among humans. He lived every single day to the fullest. This man loved his family, friends, community and mankind. Michael was always there with confidence. He sought to give assistance. People turned to him for guidance. He found the love of his life, Alice, and lived life loving her and their children and grandchildren. He lived with honor, respect for all, generosity and care for other people. He will be missed by so many. Rest in piece my friend.

    My thoughts and prayers are with the Dibble and Fincher families during this difficult time. I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Marcel. She was such a special person to so many! From the first time I met her in Germany, until the last time I saw her in Virginia, she always brightened my day and filled the room with sunshine and laughter! She was such a talented educator and artist, but best of all she knew how to be a good friend. One of my fondest memories of Marcel is when we took a little trip from Germany to London, England to meet up with our men, whom were there on a cross country! Riding in the back of a British black cab on the wrong side of the road was a hilarious adventure with Marcel, Lisa Olsen, and me! I have never laughed so hard! Then of course, we girls wanted to tour art museums, while the boys wanted to go to the war museum! We shared so many laughs that weekend. Marcel and I were both expecting our first child on that trip as well! She loved her family and friends!

    Marcel has left warm memories, and a beautiful legacy to all that her life touched. Her spirit will live on in our hearts.

    Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the broken hearted.

    With deepest sympathy as you remember Marcel,

    Love,

    Noreen is a cherished and loving gift to all of us, especially her family. I will not say “was”, as her spirit lives on in all of those whose lives she touched. In life, she was a powerful, humble, generous and loving woman, and so very gentle. I admired her tenacity and loved our friendship. Always smiling and not just with her lips but with that twinkle in her eyes.

    Her presence will be especially and sorely missed by you, her dear family, and I shall also,

    In God’s loving arms, she will hear: “Well done my child”…

    Words are not coming when I think of “Pops”, but there are many wonderful “Green Beans” memories of him and his humor! He was, indeed, one of the best “girls” when we would go out! He had the humor (and occasionally even agreed) when we “man bashed” and vented in general. The party started when he arrived! He was a lovely, gentle man. We will miss him but know that he is in a much better place. Love you, xoxo, fifi

    Even to this day, I smile at one of our adventures.
    I heard about an Augustus Saint Gauden’s Sculpture exhibit about two hours from Portsmouth. At this time, Noreen had a bit of a problem walking on uneven surfaces. Most all of the sculptures were spread out on grassy knolls to be observed. She politely and generously told me to go on ahead and she would simply sit in the shade.

    You have got to be kidding, no way was I going to do that. We did not come all this way for her to sit and not see these magnificent pieces of art, which she enjoyed. I asked her to get back in the car and without permission from the museum, drove her around on the lawns and grassy knolls, with her laughing all the way. Yes, we were stopped at one point, but after a courteous explanation, we were allowed to continue driving on the lawn.. We even stopped every so often and she was able to walk up closely to see the magnificent pieces on display. It was a fun day!.

    Condolences & prayers to Justin, Katlyn, the grandkids & the Crowder family. I met Steve working for Shopsmith and developed a grand friendship thru our employment sharing ups and downs on the golf courses, Thanksgiving events, sales and beyond. A great friend over the years, sharing those times teasing each other about our prowess on a golf course or sales, Steve being the “better” in sales. Face time during his last days were memorable. I can still hear his laugh and his drawl as I put down these words. I am happy that he is no longer suffering, but I will miss his jovial conversations. Loved the guy for his truthfulness and being a true friend over the years. May he Rest In Peace, now and forever. Hit ‘em long and putt straight, Steve on whatever cloud you’re playing. You’re flying now.

    The first time I met Charlie was at Jack and Regina’s house in Virginia Beach. Sometime during the gathering Charlie and I found ourselves on the front porch smoking a cigar and drinking whiskey. We had an immediate connection and we stayed on the porch and laughed and shared stories for most of the evening. He was very much like me in that we don’t share our feelings or appreciation of other people very well, but I could tell he loved his family and friends very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and his whole family. Rest In Peace my friend.

    I remember when we we’re looking for houses in Delaware and we started looking in the Wynn Wood Subdivision and we found the house we fell in love with, and I remember the day when we met Charlie he was just so helpful, loving and very caring, he made us laugh all the time, I always called him my own personal security, cause, when we’re moving back and forth, he would always tell us don’t worry about anything, I got it all under control, that just touched our hearts, cause he just made us feel like family, not just neighbors and he always lend a helping hand when anyone was ever in need, Charlie will be truly miss, and to his beautiful wife Cindy, we love you and we are forever here, if you ever need us, and to his loving children, thank you all for sharing your dear beloved father with us all, love you and forever in our hearts and Prayers ?????????

    I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was one of the greatest lady I have known. When she became home bound my Daughter Sherry and I would go visit with her. She was a joy to talk with we enjoyed every minute with her. I would bake her banana nut bread she loved that. Her care given was always so pleasant on our visits. Especially the one name Mary. She will be greatly missed by all. We sure did miss her when she was not able to go to our Red Hat Lunchs. Nancy may you rest in piece. You are now with Darryll. God Speed love and miss you.

    It is a truly sad moment for all of us in the Felten/Felton clans at the loss of Donnie. It had been so long since we last saw each other, but we will remember his brashness and bravado when we cousins were much younger, and his affable style and laughter too. If Covid had not canceled our planned Felten/Felton reunion last year, who knows, we might have had the opportunity to see each other again. Another reason not to take for granted each day or opportunity that comes our way.
    Thank you too, Donnie, for your time in service to our nation. We are grateful. God Bless you, until we meet again.

    I knew Donnie somewhat distantly at first through my acquaintance with his mother Audrey and his sister Irene. Since he moved in with Irene back in October, I’ve gotten to know him better.

    Donnie has always impressed me as very knowledgeable in many areas. Whether the subject matter was auto repair, computer issues, medical concerns, or other subjects we have discussed, he impressed me as a treasure chest of knowledge on par with HowStuffWork.com! But for all the mental acumen, he was very personable and caring. He was generous with sincere compliments and was always approachable. He loved to affirm other people who were in need of encouragement and quick to see their worth. He was very patient with people who had personal struggles.

    Being a person of faith, the thing that most impressed me was Donnie’s transparent and sincere faith in God and the renewal of his early Christian faith. Some of his Facebook posts reveal the passion he had for social justice—a subject prominent in Scripture. I remember the Saturday morning when he sat down with me at Irene’s house and had an open, honest, probing, and sincere discussion of Scripture. More than once, when I was dealing with potentially stressful situations, I learned through Irene that he was praying for me.

    Speaking of prayer, when Irene went upstairs to check on Donnie and found he had left this world, he was in a perfect kneeling posture. As I do not see how anyone would fall into a perfect kneeling position, I can’t help but believe that he left this world in prayer.

    I would like to have gotten to know Donnie better. I’ve learned a lot about him that I did not know just by reading posts to this forum. But, we will meet again. And, to snatch a phrase from the apostle Paul, then “We will know [each other] even as we are known.” I look forward to seeing him again in heaven.

    My memories start the first time I met him in El Paso. He was an imp who thought it was funny to remove the screws from his playpen causing it to collapse. Next time was in Marlboro. The imp rose again when he climbed out of his crib and went to our neighbor Terry’s house. She called and asked if we knew where Donnie was to which my sister answered in his crib and she said no he’s not he is here. Next time my sister was folding clothes and taking them to the appropriate bedrooms.. She got suspicious of Donnie because she thought she was folding the same clothes she already folded so she asked me to watch him. Sure enough he was following her and taking the clothes out of the room and putting them back in the basket. He was a tease. He also liked me to take his picture with my polaroid camera so I would take his picture in his crib with him standing in his crib to get him to take a nap. Then there is that great picture of him standing on the couch in his pajamas with his arms stretched out with that beautiful impish smile. We took that picture because he was sad that he couldn’t go with his parents and Irene to Joseph’s cub scout event. Then there was the loving caring Donnie who took my son Christopher under his wings because Joseph,my son, told him he was worried about Christopher. He got Christopher interested in working out. He was always precious to me. I loved the fact that he knew there would always be a present for him at his mothers at Christmas. SO that was my Donnie. I thought I was going to see him this coming Christmas but his daddy wanted him to come home and be with his mother and I couldn’t be happier for him. This the loving,caring,impish,teasing Donnie who I knew and loved.

All of you coming over to my house to play basketball. Then, years later your mom registered me for the Professional Class at The Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. I had already worked many years as an LPN and I think she was very proud that I was getting my RN. I loved both your mom and dad. You know all of us from Coates Elementary School that grew up together and our parents became friends as much as we were friends, it’s not difficult to love each others parents. They almost become second parents to each of us.

    Fred was the chaplain on the USS SIMON LAKE when I joined the crew in 1986. As we changed homeports to Holy Loch, Scotland, he quickly became one of my favorite shipmates, and I believe that sentiment was shared by everyone. Fred’s faith, sense of humor and ability to connect with those in need of spiritual guidance, or just a good friend, made him such a special person. He left Nancy and his children behind for that tour, and he missed them so much. He loved to tell us about his family, his face would light up with every story he told. Fred and I kept in touch sporadically over the last 35 years, and it was such fun to reminisce about old times. I find myself doing that now, and I can’t help but smile and be grateful for the privilege of having known him as I remember what a character he was. Blessings to the Archer family during this difficult time. May your sweet memories of Fred give you peace. ♥️

His smile could light up a room and his laugh could lift the lowest of spirits. He was a great storyteller — of many genres! — and I appreciate his willingness to help me out in my freelance storytelling career by securing gigs for me at his church as well as for a larger Presbyterian audience at Bonclarken Conference Center. The world is a little less bright now with his absence. RIP, Fred, and thanks for the stories, the laughs, and the support.

    William, my deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss. What a wonderful tribute; I feel I got to know Julie, at least a little, through your words. I hope you are able to find comfort in the memories of the joy and love you both shared. It is obvious Julie was a bright light in your life.

    I was very sorry to read of Fred’s passing. I only knew him briefly, through the time that my late husband Neil and I attended the support group meetings for IPF. He was always so friendly and encouraging. I hope that he did not suffer much with his disease at the end of his long and well-lived life. May God hold each of his family members gently and may you each find peace in your faith and joy in your memories of Fred. With sincere condolences and prayers for your comfort.

    June’s favorite poem by Mother Teresa –

    People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
    Forgive them anyway.

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
    Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
    Succeed anyway.

    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
    Be honest and frank anyway.

    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
    Build anyway.

    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
    Be happy anyway.

    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
    Do good anyway.

    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

    Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

    It was never between you and them anyway.

    We can’t believe Julie is no longer with us. She has helped us in so many ways here at Metropolitan Funeral Service as our HR Consultant. But she also felt like a friend. She was so funny and kept it real. Our only regret is that we didn’t get to go out on the boat with her for a ride like we planned. Her husband, mother, daughter and the rest of the family are all in our prayers. We will miss her so much.

Not only was the whole family usually there but also every person you knew and a few adopted strays that wandered in. You loved everyone with open arms and we loved you right back. I will miss you from this earth but looking forward to our celebration in eternity with the Lord. I know Popus is glad you are home with him.

    Uncle Tommy, Aunt Becky and Timmy – my heart breaks for you. It’s a hard time in life when you lose a parent no matter what your age. Trust in the Lord at this time and know that he will carry you through. I’m here for all of you and love you very much. See you in January.

    William, what a beautiful tribute to Julie. That’s the Julie I got to know when she started at WHRO in October 2017. We worked side by side and our office were next to each other. She was a great HR professional, we shared a lot, and I learned a lot working with her. She talked about her family who she loved so dearly. Not only was she a former co-worker but she was also a friend. My heart goes out to her family. May God tenderly comfort you and give the family strength to endure.

    Like many others, I knew Fred through the Network of Biblical Storytellers. He was always such a positive, loving presence and I looked forward to greeting him every year. Fred took on the task of orienting new attendees to the annual Festival Gathering and he was perfectly suited for it. His personality was as friendly, accepting and welcoming as a Labrador puppy–truly so happy to greet everyone and play his part to help them feel a part of the larger group. (Knowing how much Fred loved his own dog, I’m hoping he would feel honored by the puppy reference.) The world is a less colorful place without you, Fred. I will miss you and extend heartfelt sympathy to Nancy and his family.

    This morning I lost my great grandmother, my Meemaw. I spent most weekends of my youth over at her and Pawpaw’s house. When I was in the Navy and stationed on the USS Bainbridge, she let me live in a room upstairs when not at sea or on duty. Our special time together was going to the Lynnhaven Fish House, now closed, and ordering our favorite seafood. The fried seafood platter is what she enjoyed most. Meemaw always supported me and was proud of the things in life I pursued or accomplished. Meemaw was like a second mom to me and I will always miss her.

    I love you Meemaw!!

    William,

    We exchanged a few FB messages recently after Julie went into ICU.

    I prayed fervently for her recovery. I lost a son to cancer in December and know all too well the experience of being in the hospital with a loved one and being there when they take their last breath.

    Know that I will continue to pray for Julie and the rest of her soul. I will pray for you and your family. Prayers received have helped me tremendously so I know how important it is as we learn to live with a hole in our hearts.

    Many have shared memories of Julie with you. Mine are few but precious. As a fellow HR consultant, we met a couple of times to share experiences and talk HR stuff. We wanted to run a series of workshops together but the pandemic stopped those breakfasts and plans.

    Julie had a keen sense of observation and a quick wit. She made a very apt comment last April when a slew of new HR laws came “Has anyone else felt like they took a Law degree in 2 weeks?” I used that image a few times with others as it was a very good description of what had happened to Hr professionals.

    Finally, do you have plans for a memorial? I would like to attend.

    As we now walk together on the path of grieving for loved ones lost too soon, I want to assure you of my sympathies.

Sadly America has lost a patriot with strong American values, honesty, integrity, high morals and strong family values. Scotland lost a son a true brave heart on that sad day. I lost not just a nephew but a friend,A man I was proud and honoured to call a true friend Marvin has passed and will be laid to rest,while we here in heart broken Scotland will remember Marvin.

    Uncle John, the night before you passed I had a list of things I wanted to thank you for, so I guess here is as good as any – as I thought I’d have more time to share with you..
    1.) Thank you for putting up the railing for my dad on the stairwell, when he first came home from the hospital as he was trying to move about the house…
    2.) Thank you for visiting after Evelynn was born and helping me get Home Depot to take back the refrigerator we bought that really was too big and didn’t fit in our kitchen, you knew how to speak to the manager, it was so helpful, and I felt like I had a strong team member 🙂
    3.) Thanks for the pasta lunch back in the city of Rome years ago, even IF you were hastily moving through the amazing Sistine Chapel and had the museum security on edge, we called them ‘professional shushers’ they kept shushing you to be more quiet. Hahah, it was one of my most memorable moments in Rome. It always makes me laugh.
    4.) Thank you for the memorable times on your sail boat, there was always something to do, and I’ll never forget getting sea sick after going crabbing.
    5.) Thanks for being there and always making the trip to Pittsburgh, these many times over the years. It was a joy to be able to come down to Virginia Beach in my summers as a pre-teen to teenager and hang out eating ice cream and watching gulf with you on the couch 🙂

    Your strong presence will be missed, Love your niece Luci

    My Uncle John lived so big! I have admired him and loved him from my earliest memories.

He was a wonderful mixture of compassion and bull-headedness. I will miss Uncle John deeply, and am grateful for the sense of him that lives on through his family.

    Aileen worked for me many years and I could not have had a better person in the office. She was so personable with agents that came into our office. She took great care of our agents. She was so dependable. I never had to be concerned about any aspect of her job. More importantly she looked after me. She often said “ go see your mom”. Thank goodness she did. It is so easy to become wrapped up in business that we forget important things. Family was important to her and she counted our office as family. We missed her when she left, but we never forgot her. We are sorry for your loss.

    Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. (Proverbs 12:25 KJV) And my good word is “LOVE”; Lenora’s life was built on love. The love she received and the love she has shown to so many others. The loving relationship she had with her husband is a witness of two being joined together becoming one. And even now, away from the body and in God’s presence, we feel the love of those who knew her touch our hearts with their loving words about her. Lenora, you will be surely missed but not forgotten! ♥️

    I missed Sam when he stopped driving a school bus for us. He always had a little laugh when talking to him on the phone and a twinkle in his eyes in person. I was so sorry to hear of his illness and even sorrier of his passing. May his memories and his eternal love for you all give some comfort in this difficult time.

    Favorite Kenny G:

    There’s no way AROUND grief–only THROUGH. And although we can’t help you carry the pain in your heart, we will be here when you need a shoulder to cry on… an ear to listen… or words of encouragement — to lift you up the best way we know how.

    Do your best to focus on the many blessings:

     the blessing that despite the many HUGE challenges you both had to deal with, your love was an amazing super strong, rock-solid unbreakable bond that so many people never get the chance to experience in their lifetime…

     the blessing that you and Lenora had the joyful experience of spending her last days with each other–just the two of you–and you had the pleasure of seeing her at her happiest…

     the blessing that she didn’t go from this awful CoVid-19 virus — which would have prevented you from being by her side…

     the blessing that you were a wonderful husband, who took such great care of her, and she knew how very much you loved her…

     the blessing that she was a part of your life — for the time you had her.

    So… try to put more focus on the BLESSINGS… do your best to live your best life with the love she left behind… and know that she will live on in your heart forever–because TRUE LOVE IS TIMELESS.

    God bless you… and we love you so much, Favorite Kenny G.

My fondest memory of him was after the Ladies meetings while Rhonda and I were doing the books and Barry would come join us and we would have great conversation. Solving all the world’s problems. Barry was a good man, but he had an evil twinkle in his eye. He could be very cheeky and that was one of his endearing qualities. His ability to spread joy, have a giggle, talk about just anything under the sun. I will truly be missed. RIP Barry your labors are done.

    I was saddened to learn of the death of my old friend and colleague, David Dickerson. David and I grew up in the same neighborhood (Colonial Place, Norfolk), were the same age and childhood friends, and attended the elementary, junior high and high schools (Stuart, Blair, and Maury). We both graduated from Maury in June 1957 but then our lives diverged, David going to W and M and I to the Naval Academy. Strangely enough, our paths crossed again 8 years later when we both matriculated at the William and Mary Law School in Summer 1965. We again were neighbors, this time in the same apartment complex, studied together and graduated early in 1968. At law school, I was present with David while we awaited the birth of little David at the Williamsburg Hospital. Then our lives diverged again, David going to the Beach and I to a law firm in Norfolk, but we did keep in touch and saw each other at high school reunions. He was a genuinely fine fellow, good friend over the years, and dedicated colleague at the Bar and I shall miss him. Please extend my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to David’s family. He will be missed.

    Mac an Peggy were kind and giving people, to say they were friends would be an understatement. I feel as though I could consider them family! Mark grew up with Paul and from there the story goes on and on. Mac could tell some stories of the crazy things they did, but never did. Instead he just shook his head when they would tell the stories. Family is more than just blood and family is something you hold onto forever. The memories made and the time you have together means more than all the money And material things in the world. Hold on to the love you have while it’s here and share the memories when it’s gone. Sending XOXO to Mac and Peggy as you watch from heaven and guide us to do the right thing while we are here.

    My heart is truly broken ?I have lost a true friend. You are one of the kindest people with the most gentle generous heart that I have ever known. We’ve shared laughter and tears but above all else we shared friendship and love. Although over the years we did not get to see each other as much as we would have liked, I always knew when hurricane season came around I would see you at the beach! You like to chase a good storm as much as I did. It is never goodbye, only see you later. I will cherish our friendship and memories and you will live on in my heart forever. I have no doubt MeMa was waiting for you with open arms. Give everybody at the roundtable our love and save us a seat. I love you Keith Rourke. My heart goes out to everyone who loves you especially your sister Kathy and niece Dana. The way that we grew up together it was and is so much more than friendship, it’s family. It’s a bond that will never be broken, not even in death. My heart is just broken. I love you all. Leigh Crews Pritt

    Mom, you were my best friend. You were always there for me…through my childhood & teenage years, the college experience away from home, as a young adult, and then as a mom myself. You always had the perfect advice and said exactly what I needed to hear at that time. You were always just a phone call away…. and call we did~ 4 or more times a day! We spoke on my way to work, on my way home from work, when I had a cooking question, gossiping about the real housewives, or when we just wanted to check on each other. Who will I call now? Who will answer my cooking questions? Who will I vent to? Who will tell me everything’s going to be ok? Who’s going to call my boys and sing a personalized birthday song? Who am I going to look up to as my role model? There is a huge void in my life now- one that I have no idea how to fill… I pray that, with time, the emptiness will subside and will be filled with smiles and good memories. Please know that I thank God everyday of my life for making me your daughter and you my mom. You were the best mom a girl could have asked for! I Love you mama bear~from your baby bear.

She could tell when I was having bad day and she would give words of encouragement. And to her daughter, Mrs. Irene your was a awesome daughter and I saw the true love you had for your mom.

    Beverly was a good friend to me and a very special person.

    Everytime I went over to her house, she Always had a meal ready and hot coffee on the stove. She could cook up some great hamburgers on her gas grill on the back porch in no time.

    Together, we watched movies, went shopping, watched her 3 beloved dogs play outside, and went to church.

    She loved her 3 dogs. Each had a separate personality.

    She also taught me how to make quilts with just about any texture of material.

    I will miss my dear friend, and I am a better person because of her patience friendship and her kindness. ❤?

    I would like to give my condolences to Debra’s family and loved ones. I only knew Debra for about 4 years, but I’m that 4 years I got to know just how wonderful she was. She was the first and only person I connected to after moving to Hertford NC, we met at the Northeast Dragway where we became friends and I learned how much she truly loved the sport of racing cars. She taught me so much, she was never bothered by my hundreds of questions and she was so much fun to be around. She was kind, funny, and generous. We also shared a passion for rescuing dogs and helping to find homes for the lost and abandoned. She was passionate about everything she did. I wish we could have had more time, but I feel blessed to have met her and shared some fun memories together. I’ll never forget her and I’ll cherish the memories, photos and videos of her and us at the track for years to come. She had such a big heart. God rest her soul in peace. Fly high and fast Debra!! I’ll think of you everytime I’m at the race track and I’ll try to take some good burn out pics of every car when I’m there and share them for you. You will be missed my friend…..

    I knew Dottie for only a short time but she made a deep impression on me. I was invited to join a Bunco group in which she was the “imagined president”. What I remember that first night I played with the group was how Dottie made me feel so welcome. Within a few minutes, she had me in stitches as we shared stories about growing up Catholic. When Covid hit, our Bunco games stopped and I regret to say I didn’t stay in touch with the group. I can imagine Dottie in Heaven right now asking God if it really was necessary to forbid us to wear patent leather shoes because they “reflect up”.

He was always making sure everyone having a good day. He would bring party favors, hats, etc to parties to liven the mood. He always knew how to raise everyone’s spirits.

    Danny always asked if he didn’t have he needed a tool or anything else. So then he said let’s go get it an so we went. Dennis Anderson was his Fanta truck friend and long time friend. In addition all the people he assisted along the way with their computer problems.

    My recollections are, he had a certain way to mow his lawn (I mowed, he directed) shit bird. Borrowed what he needed when necessary and returned when asked back. Similar to Dagwood and herb.

    Adept with anything mechanical. Cars mototircycles golf carts jet skis boats. He could fix almost anything.

Grateful to have known & loved her vibrant spirit; we met at the diner where she was a friend &confidante to many a forlorn or wayward soul. She loved swimming laps and playing guitar while she sang- “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was a favorite song & the Princess Bride a favorite movie. She was always searching for the spiritual blessing of the godliness of everyone she met. Her family & friends meant the world to her as well her love for animals. Incredibly relieved that she was comforted by her kid brother through her last trials. Some people leave an impression that is written in the stars, Bevy is surely one of those!

    I am very sorry for your loss. I’ve known Johnny since I was very young through my mom & dad (vow). We have wonderful memories and always remember laughing. Every New Year we talk about the drawings he would do at the post party… he would capture the evening every year in his drawing. What a great guy heaven has received… I know my dad was probably one of many people in line to welcome him.
    Prayers are with his family.

    You touched my life in ways you will never know. I was so fortunate to have such a wonderful lady as a friend. I was trying to find you to reconnect, but instead I found that I was too late. May you rest in peace and sing with the angels. You were certainly an angel to all who knew you. You will be missed dearly. Love you Beverly.

    She was the daughter of my babysitter, Mrs.Gloria, and my babysitter by default. She was the nicest to me. She had the kindest spirit. As I became an adult, I still the same endearing feelings for her. She helped with homework, helped me double-dutch, played games and helped make my days there fun, enjoyable and memorable.

    Rest in power.

    Leslie and Family;

    Leslie, you and Garland mean a lot to us. Time and circumstances have kept us separate for many years, but you both remained close to hearts. Your friendship and shared wisdom are precious. I quote items of wisdom that Garland said to me to others often, and always note that the wisdom was from my friend Garland.

    Know that you, the whole family and many many friends of Garland, are in our thoughts and prayers. You have many beautiful memories and with God’s help and all the folks that are around you, piece will come. We are all thankful to God for sharing Garland with us. He and you touched us all in beautiful ways.

    I (Dale) plan to visit my girls in the Tidewater area in late August. If you would like, I will find a time to visit. A couple of years ago, I was there and called Garland to see if we could get together. He was excited and busy at the time, planning a birthday celebration for you, his soul mate. I think Scott was on his way as a surprise. It was clearly and important item to him.

    Leslie Hines, family one and all. Jaye and I are so grieved to hear Garlando has passed. Altho we are confident he is now reunited with other family and friends and in the presence of our Lord, he will be sorely missed here. We wanted to let you know the profound impact he and the entire Hines family has had upon our lives, hence the lives of our child and now our grandchildren as well. From the spiritual wisdom to the funny quips, stories and true friendship we could always he assured Garland had something to impart on any occasion. We recall the early days of the Christian Center as we, Jaye and I fresh from our cross country move, with little Amber in tow. We were readily and unconditionally welcomed with open arms. We desperately needed that so very much! And we still feel like family to all those we met and fellow shipped with there. One hilarious story Garland related was the final day after VBCC, which met in an old store front building at the oceanfront, closed its doors he and Leslie took a moment to sit on the platform alone in the building reminiscing on the good times and momentous events. As they sat in the empty sanctuary, from the corner of the stage a lone cockroach ran up and paused for a moment right in front of them. It was as if the roach was saying “This place is mine now. So you can leave.”
    Hahaha! A fitting scene to close on.
    We will miss him greatly and his bigger than life persona. He was a true servant of the Lord in every way. And it has been our pleasure to have know him and you Leslie. We offer our condolences in love and respect.
    If Jaye or I can be of any service please let us know.

    From our family to yours and with great affection,
    ~Jaye and Patty Adkins

    Thinking of you as our birthday draws near.
    I regret that I never told you just how much of an impact you had on my life all those years ago, despite me being younger than your own children. Countless times I’ve said, “I never claimed to be nice, there’s no future in it” as well as other borrowed pearls of wisdom, and each time I smile as I remember that nothing was further from the truth when you said those phrases about yourself to me. Your kindness literally saved my life when you gathered me from the ER and knew perfectly well what I needed to hear on the ride to my house. There’s no doubt that I’d be less of the person than I am today, if our paths hadn’t crossed, so Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!
    There’s a special place in my heart and soul where memories of you eternally reside.
    God Bless your family and friends as they are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Leslie, I am so very sorry about your loss of Garland. He was a very special person and friend to our family throughout the years. I remember him singing at Lucille’s funeral and also his presence when Bruce died. He shouwed his love of God by the way he treated others. He was a true Christian in the way he lived his life. He will truly be missed by those who loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. In this time of sorrow remember all the good times and blessings that you shared. One special thing about Garland was when he told me that he had talked to Bruce about dying and Bruce told him that I was strong and I could manage. He said his mother would have a hard time if he died before her. I know you are strong also and will look to the Lord for comfort. May God bless you and keep you.

I immediately started on the COPD treatment; a few weeks into the treatment I began to notice a reduction in symptoms, after I completed the treatment, my symptoms were all gone including the severe shortness of breath, cough and wheezing. Its been over two years since treatment. I feel better and breathe better.

    Joe spent two years with the USN in Bahrain and, with a group of other Senior Naval Officers, made their spiritual home in St Christopher’s Cathedral, the Episcopal Cathedral of the Gulf for the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. He would regularly bring his guitar and share in the leading of the worship. His joy and faith radiated to the wider community.
    My wife Tricia and I with our eldest daughter Alex visited the Jerauld family in Virginia Beach in the summer of 2013. We had so many rich experiences, including an unseasonal Thanksgiving Dinner, so determined was Joe to give three Brits a taste of important American traditions and hospitality and we had the privilege of joining them in worship in their home church, where again Joe was playing his guitar.
    Sadly, we had planned to visit again last year, but Covid ended that possibility.
    We send our love and condolences to Lisa, Audrey and Ben and hold you in our prayers.
    May Joe rest in peace and rise in glory.

    Joe was my cousin, the son of my dad’s youngest brother. As kids we primarily interacted at family gatherings on Cape Cod, where our grandfather, aunts, uncles and other cousins lived.

    It wasn’t until my dad died that we reconnected as adults. Joe accompanied Lisa, Nancy and his father to my dad’s funeral in South Florida. He attended the funeral wearing his dress white navy uniform to honor my dad‘s World War II Navy service. He also accompanied his father to my dad’s burial on Cape Cod, where he played the guitar and led us all in the Navy hymn. It was then that I realize what a neat guy my cousin was.

    We were honored to be invited to attend Joe‘s retirement from the Navy. I remember feeling a sense of pride hearing about the various aspects of his career, knowing that both our fathers shared that same heritage. He was exactly the type of person you want to have protecting our country.

    One of our favorite memories was a shared trip to Marathon in the Florida Keys. Joe, Lisa and Audrey drove down with his smoker and “Mr. B“, a big brisket which is easily one of the best pieces of meat I’ve ever eaten. Even though the weather kept us from going out in the boat, we enjoyed fishing from the dock, especially our shark fishing after dark.

    Joe would text me during the Honda Classic, a golf tournament that takes place near our home in Florida. I had always hope he could have the chance to watch a few rounds in person. But God had other plans for him.

    Joe’s faith sustained him, and I look forward to the day when we are reunited. I feel blessed to have had him as a part of our lives.

    I had known David for over 25 years through our church, Church of the Epiphany. For years I would see him mainly at. Christmas and Easter and other special occasions when he would attend with his Mom and family. He never failed to speak to me and ask how I and my family were doing. In more recent years, he became a very active, vibrant member of our church family. He was always willing to pitch in and do what was needed, from serving on vestry to carrying a load of stuff at the yard sale to clearing tables or taking out trash after an event. The enthusiasm and joy he found in his friends, fellowship, music, ODU, biking and every new day brought happiness to those of us fortunate enough to call him a friend. It is with shock and sadness that we mourn his too-soon and senseless death. My prayers go out for all his family.

    She was more than my mother, she was my friend. She was a woman who loved life, family and friends. She never went anywhere where she didn’t make a friend. She taught us by example. She wanted us to stay in school so she got her GED when I was in High School. She didn’t allow profanity and I was 16 before I ever hear a curse word cross her lips when she dropped a dozen eggs putting groceries in the car. She believed you should do everything 100%, so she was always on the go. She never left a job that didn’t beg her to stay. Sing loudly with the voice you once again, do the things you haven’t been able to do in so long because there are no scars in heaven. I will miss you always, Love you always, hold you close to my heart always.

    To my Dad in Heaven, we may not have always agreed or took things the same way, but you were the only Dad I ever had or wanted to have. No one can tell a story like you did, they were colorful, descriptive, and really painted a picture that put you right in the middle of it. I am proud to have been part of the basis or source material for some of those stories. I enjoyed them all, even the Lonnie Pogo story.

    David and I had been fdiends since 1995. We were active supporters of Grear Bridge and Old Dominion wrestling. David was the man who produced the Great Bridge wrestling annual. It was a publication that contained each wrestler’s photo and their wrestling accomplishments. lt had photos of the coaches and school officials, wrestling trivia questions, and advertisements from team sponsors. It was a big production every year. He produced this keepsake selflessly and at no cost to those who received it. He was a very fine man, a cherished friend who my brother and I will miss.for years to come. He is a huge loss to the community and to his close friends..

    I was only 11 years old when I met Bob for the first time. He was invited at my parents home in Tilburg (The Netherlands) when he had a military exercise with my dad’s squadron in the Netherlands. Of course I was impressed to meet my ‘first American’. I remember a very warm man patient enough to teach me my first English words and later winning from me with Othello that he bought for my brother and me. Enthusiastic and interesting in everything. Our families kept in contact, sending presents with Xmas (yes I remember all about Smokey Bear!) and visiting us many times, either alone during exercises and later with his whole family. We showed them the highlights of the Netherlands and they showed my parents and later me, travelling alone the the States from my first earned money, the US. Their house was our house and visa versa. The contact became less because of age but it remained, especially around Xmas. I’m sad you passed away Bob, but happy I still have great contacts with Tres & Regan, Sophia and Joe here in Europe. And appreciated when Kecia helped me as English editor during my period as blog writer. Again a very warm, lovely person passed away but memories will stay and matter. Rest in peace dear Bob.

    To say I have known Beth Ann for most of her life is not an exaggeration. I met her when she was in first or second grade. Beth Ann and all of the Tellers were always very kind and welcoming to me. The Teller family treated me like part of their own family and for that I am forever grateful. Although Kristie and Beth are a bit farther apart in age (like myself and my younger sister), they had special bond when they had children. Kristie and Beth were devoted to their faith and their family. My hope is that that faith will see Kristie and Mr. Bob through this difficult time. I can imagine Beth and Miss Judy as angels reunited in heaven. May these two awesome ladies shine their love from the heavens to Jacob. With many hugs and prayers to the entire Teller family??????

    My heart is broken. I spoke to him the week of July 25th to tell him I would come by in a few days to visit. He said he would be back home after 10 am. Sadly I didn’t make that date with him. He and Jean were friends of ours, with Donald working at Rogues with him. I would love to talk with Nancy at b her convenience. Will truly miss him!

    It is with heartfelt sadness that I’m sending sincere condolences on Bob’s passing. He was always ready to lend support or a helping hand. I’m reflecting fondly on rides to the airport and the many fun lunches we shared. One particularly memorable lunch was at the Langley Marina, where we encountered road construction on the way. The typical warning “speed bump” signs were visible, to include the one that said, “speed hump”! We got a lot of laughs out of that one at subsequent lunches!
    I know how difficult it is for you to be without your partner, Barb, you two were truly inseparable. May God enfold you in His loving arms, and bring you and yours, comfort and peace.

I later followed his columns from D. C. and on PBS. Much later, here in Virginia Beach, I connected with Ann and followed her work at the Virginia Beach Arts Center. We emailed occassionally and reminisced a little about Charley. The last time we chatted, the plan was to go out for fried oysters. Am sorry we never got that chance. She was a nonpareil!

    I first met Ann as we took a painting class together–she would have been around 80 years old at that time. She gained my admiration from the start–her talent, her sass and her willingness to speak her mind. It was so exciting when she joined us at The Artists Gallery, to have her smarts and talent added to our team. We all feel blessed to have had Ann as a member of our art family and we will all miss her terribly. She was a light and a joy to be around, with a sharp wit and respectful tone. Truly a woman of wisdom and talent. Rest in peace Ann (with your paintbrush and some collaging materials). Our prayers go out to Ann’s family and we wish you endless peace and comfort in your memories of Ann.

Most recently, we were sharing the same studio and her gorgeous art decorated the walls I worked in every week. I am lucky to have pieces of her art and even luckier to have memories of the talented, creative person who brought it to life.

    On behalf of the Northern Virginia Community College, we wish to offer our sincere condolences on the loss of Mrs. McDowell. We are proud that she was one of our photography students and that she went on to earn distinctions in the field of photography and in painting. Both Charley and Ann McDowell were well known and well respected in this area and we are saddened by her loss.

    My deepest condolences to Jason, Joel and family. I’ve known Pam since she was about 15 years old and always thought a lot of her. When my youngest son (Seth) passed away unexpectly, Pam was one of the first to send flowers and condolences. All of us who knew her will miss her.

    Just like his brothers Uncle Tom and Uncle Bruce that passed before him Uncle Ike was a family man in every sense of the word. Aunt Pat  and Uncle Ike always made me feel welcome in thier home. I also had the pleasure of working for Uncle Ike and can attest to his fairness and leadership abilities. Another memory is a magazine subscription from Uncle Ike and Aunt Pat for Ranger Rick I was already interested in wildlife but that magazine helped it grow.
    Uncle Ike you have been in my thoughts always and now I hope  Aunt Pat, Scott, Wendy, Rob, Jackie  and thier children can find the peace of mind that comes from knowing his last thoughts were of  the good times he shared with you.

    Love always

    We miss Ann already, seeing her smiling face in the hallways here at Atlantic Shores, chatting with her about anything and everything, seeing her art work at The Artists Gallery. She was a lovely woman and she was so interested in so many areas of life that were for the good of all. Our thoughts and prayers go to all the family members as they grieve her loss. What a woman!

    We would like to receive notification of when the celebration of her life will be held in November.

    I was very sorry to hear Kris had died; I found out just the other day via mutual friend from LCHS. Being 53 myself, my memory isn’t allowing me to recall specific memories of Kris but I can say that he was always kind and funny and a good friend to me. We stayed in touch after LCHS once FB became a “thing” and we last chatted a few years ago, as I quit FB. So young to go. Such a quirky and interesting personality gone. I am sorry to all who knew and loved him.

    To the family of Ann McDowell,
    I send my deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. While I never had the pleasure of meeting Ann, I felt that I new her well because we shared a common friend at the Artists Gallery, Dick Rawls. In addition, my father was a friend of Charley’s for years in Richmond. The loss of our mother is one of life’s most difficult passages no matter our age. May the fact that she lived such a rich and vibrant life sustain you in the months ahead. I hope you will discover for your selves that, while the bodies of the people we love die, the love that we shared with them never dies. They are with us always. May you find peace and comfort from thoughts of how much richer each of your lives is because she was such an important fact of them,
    With my deepest sympathy,

    Margaret Mims Hamilton

It is a memory I have always cherished and even so much more now. After I moved from Virginia Beach, she kept in touch with cards. I hope she knows how much she was loved.

    I am so sorry to learn of Mrs. Gurnee’s death. She was such a lovely neighbor. Whenever I would pass her on her frequent walks, she always had a big smile and a friendly wave. Her work at Independence Middle School was done with such grace. Middle schools children are not always the easiest to love, but Sheila truly cared for those kids. I always enjoyed hearing about her many trips to unique places around the world. She was a well-respected, irreplaceable member of the IMS family and a wonderful neighbor. She will be missed.

    I am so sorry for the loss of your brother Brian. There’s no other love like the love for a brother. There’s no other love like the love from a brother. Although I never met Brian, I love hearing funny stories about him because you both light up and smile. I can tell he was one of a kind and very loved. My heart hurts for you, your families, Heather, Hannah and Nathaniel. I’m here for you my friends no matter what.

    The Tonnesen family and the Gurnee family have known and became friends for many years when Sheila was in the teaching profession and all the kids went to the same schools having lived in the same neighborhood. We would see Sheila and George riding their bikes around the neighborhood and then Sheila walking often. We never saw Sheila without a smile or sunny disposition. Condolences to the Gurnee family from the Tonnesen family.

    My condolences to the family on the loss of such an amazing lady. Ms. Gurnee was such a bright light and will forever be in my heart for the tremendous help she gave to me, whenever I called at a moments notice to sub at IMS. I used to joke with her that she must have come into the parking lot on 2 wheels, because she got there so fast.😊 My own children loved when Ms. Gurnee covered the class. Ms. Gurnee was a blessing to so many and will be remembered with love by those who were fortunate to know her. 💞

    Kathy was my dear and close friend. I miss her so much, and I know I always will. We enjoyed many things together – visiting and talking, having lunch together, worship, Sunday School, and conversations on the phone. It’s such a comfort to have a friend that you know will always be there. Kathy was a powerful witness for the Lord as she dealt and lived with her health issues. She was smiling, friendly, did what she could to help others and did not complain. She always felt such joy with her family. We had many conversations about our grandchildren! She gave toys which hers had outgrown to me for my youngest granddaughter. She is still enjoying them and knows “Miss Kathy” gave them to her. Kathy is well now and healed in her heavenly home. I will always be grateful for her and what she meant and still means to me. Love you, dear friend.

    Mattie Geneva Ellis, my grandmother, came to us on the 5th of May 1928. She witnessed Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, both the beginning and end of the Great Depression, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Jesse Owens embarrass Hitler.

    She watched as the world was introduced to Scotch tape, the ballpoint pen, and color television, as humankind first set foot on the moon, the birth of the Internet, and the invention of the Atom Bomb.

    She heard the news on the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and when Barack Obama was elected as the first African American U.S. President.

The other is “Lead your life so you wouldn’t be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip”. We have lost a great friend and loved one. A truly great guy loved and respected by all.

    I talked with Randy a year or so ago and he told me about his cancer. I had called him to find out about a job recommendation I had written for him earlier. Even though he had a very positive attitude, I did fear for his prognosis. I have wondered about him since. I decided to do a search and found this obituary. I am so sorry to read this and so sorry for your loss. Randy was a student of mine at TCC probably 30 years ago. We kept in touch over the years as he did some work for me at my home at different times. The last time he worked for me was in 2016. That’s the last time I saw him. He was a really good student and very smart. That’s why I hired him. I really respected his abilities and his work ethic. All the work he did for me was top notch. I know this is a late response and I do hope that someone reads it. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Randy was such a great guy.

Gary Stone, my brother Kerry, Red and I did everything together for that decade. From the first day we met until the day he died, Kenny was the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. It feels criminal that he was taken from us so early. I will always have nothing but the fondest memories of hanging out, surfing, and figuring our way out through this world with my buddy. RIP

    How sorry I am to hear of Bruce’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on the D&H in re-establishing passenger service in the early Amtrak era. He knew his railroad law and was a real motivator when it came to getting things done. He will be missed by us all.

    James Nolan was an extraordinary person. As a child, I never really thought much about my “Gramps” beyond the man who set up toy bricks with me in the living room, but as I grew up I learned about a man with a storied history of travel, a passion for learning, and a deep care for his family. Sharp as a tack, his stories always captivated. From the bustling streets of mid-century San Francisco, to the small college town of Hanover there always seemed to be a new tale. But it wasn’t just the stories, there were new adventures too. All the memories that he made with his family on their travels to new places, fueled by his unquestionable love of nature, is something we will all cherish. And who could forget the countless “Nolan-isms” that have come from decades of memory making which persist to this day. Having the opportunity to learn about the brilliant man that was James Nolan is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and he will be a role model for me for the rest of my life.

    Jim took me to my very first concert – The Bee Gees with Kathy. It was electrifying, and I didn’t even know much about The Bee Gees at that time. In fact Jim was there throughout my childhood as he and Sally were some of my parent’s closest friends and he was my sister’s Godfather. We spent Halloweens at their house and watched fireworks with them. We watched slide shows of their trips – in particular I remember a Hawaiian trip with lots of cool volcano photos, I also had home made nachos for the first time at their house which were AMAZING and have ever since been my go to nacho snack recipe (and in my opinion the only way to make nachos!) – Doritos, Jalapeños and cheese. The family secret is out! And he’s always brought delicious food with him when coming around to the house. I joined in on the chicken pox party at their house as a kid. Thanks a lot – haha. And I remember once being afraid to go to my babysitters house (because I felt I was in trouble), and trying to convince the driver to let me get off with Kathy to hang out with them. Home away from home. Jim was solid, steady, smart, easy going, supportive, fair and kind. All the things that help a kid (and adult) move bravely through this world. I’ll miss him a lot. Fly high Jim and much much Love to the whole family.

    It’s with great sorrow that we offer our condolences to the family of Jim Nolan. Like his parents who were inspirations to us during our growing years, Jim was a beloved cousin and role model for our family.
    We fondly remember the phone conversations where Jim would recount how the family cat “Tuffy” was ruling the house, or stories about growing up on Whitney Street in San Francisco. We feel good that Jim had the opportunity to stop by and point out that house to his family on his last visit to the bay area. We still have the T-shirt Jim provided when he organized the Moriarty family reunion years ago.

    We remember on a visit to the Pendleton’s home in Virginia Beach while we were staying in the Winsor Woods home, generously offered by Jim and Sally that we always referred to Jim as “Baby Jimmy”,
    which was his childhood nickname. Jess Pendleton’s was taken aback because he told us that Jim referred to himself as “Big Jim from the West” Needles to say, Jess relished the chance to confront Jim with his now discovered “baby” moniker. We all had a good laugh over that.

    So many stories that provide so many memories are what we will always have in our heart, because of that wonderful man Jim. RIP to one of the most gentle, kind, and compassionate man we have ever known. We love you Jim, and you will forever be in our hearts. Gary and Cherrell

But he had the brilliance to divine the future, see the shoal water ahead of us, and in his fatherly way recommend we make change course by a degree or two, and escape making a mistake.

    Although Kathy and I knew Al only through his electrical firm, over the course of the decades when he was our go to person for our routine and emergency electrical needs, I felt that we became friends. Although I talked to Al several times this year, the last time I saw him him was memorable. It was on a Saturday morning in July of 2019 when he responded to an emergency with a water overflow in our attic heat pump unit. While he was here, I got the call from the Duke University transplant center saying that, after three years of waiting, a liver was available and that I had four hours to be there. Al hurriedly completed the emergency repair, so that Kathy and I could get to the hospital on time. So, Al is a part of the reason I am alive today to remember this fine man.

The Nolans were always willing to have the neighborhood kids hang out at their house and I have many great memories of time spent with the family.

    Dear Peggy and family,

    I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing and your loss, my most sincere condolences. Jim taught, tolerated, and cajoled me through the dreaded years of transition from a mouthy grade 9, in ’76, to an aspiring musician, four years later. I remember, sitting many times on a desk in his classroom playing my classical guitar while he listened intently, trying valiantly to keep up my end of the good natured verbal sparing, appreciating how he could see though the difficult times and offer a kind word at just the right moment, and how proud I was when he wrote my grad. obit. for me claiming that what I learned was, “to write, eventually”.

    Years later, about 2000, I had the pleasure and honour to work with, and help, another fine member of the Barringer teaching legacy, Gavin, in the early days of his career. As I was helping a distraught grade 8 at the end of one day, I was so surprised when Jim dropped in on my classroom to say hello. Our conversation was very brief as it was immediately evident to Jim that my help was needed by the student. He left with a smile and a thumbs up. I like to think I too passed the baton as I know he knew he did that day.

    Jim made a difference.

    To paraphrase Socrates, if there is a heaven and all the great minds that ever have been and ever shall be are embroiled in an eternal debate Jim will be at its centre, but if there is not and there is only a dreamless sleep… may he rest in peace; he has earned the rest.

    Respectfully and sincerely,

    Clive Shepherd

    We are so sad to hear of Uncle Nolan’s passing. He was a great man. I remember how he loved his Mama and how sweet of a pawpaw he was. You all meant so much to him. I know the ones who loved him are hurting so bad and our hearts are broken for you. We love you and are praying for you!

    We are so sorry to learn of the loss of your beloved Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather Frank. I knew him as a kind and gentle man and the treasured spouse of my friend, Sheila. Sheila and I worked together at Beth Sholom and became life long friends. Frank was the love of her life and they are now together once more, laughing at Sheila’s antics! Loretta Smith

    I never knew him personally, but I heard stories through his daughter Peggy. My nickname as a kid was Mo. When someone calls me that, I know that is true family. I saw Peggy on my birthday and told her “Mo was here”. I hope you got the message to your father. He lived a long life and I will be there for you Peggy.

    Hello, RIH. Mary Simmons. This is Lisa’s Cleaning Service. I don’t know anything until I found out today that you passed away last February, 2021. I was glad that you found my housecleaning service though Next door. I had cleaned for your house for a year and a few months but not only for housecleaning. I had enjoyed talking with you and around your dog, Cooper. That day, when I had finished cleaning for your house so you told me that you wouldn’t need my service. You found someone to move in with you and take care of you because you was sick. I was respectful for your wishes. I’m praying for you and your family. Miss you, my friend. 😥

    Very sorry to hear about Nolan’s passing, he was a great father in-law and I know my sons ( his partners ) will miss dearly! My condolences to the family in this time of mourning. He is free now of the hurt and pain that plagued him the last few years, and walking in the kingdom with his beloved wife Jane. And to Shannon and Bernice I know I’m not your favorite person on earth but I truly am sorry for the loss of your dad, because I lost mine and it’s so hard and you truly never get over it.

    The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the hornof my salvation, my stronghold.

    I have known Rodger since the first grade, and although I would see him only occasionally after high school, it was always as if no time had passed since our last meeting. He maintained a kind and gentle spirit in our sometimes rough and turbulent world. His absence here leaves a hole which can never be filled, but I am sure he carries his gregarious and engaging soul to enrich the kingdom of heaven! Rest well, old friend.

You will be missed more than words can be put on paper. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family ♥

You would say what are we doing today and I’d tell you and you would say right back to me “Oh no we’re not doing that” and then we would both laugh. You made a difference in people’s lives and I am sad that you are gone but take comfort in the fact that you are now at peace.

    Richard, my brother from another mother. We first met in 1971, 50 years ago. Ah the storys we had and making each other laugh til it felt like our ribs were broke. You pulling my pants down at the bus stop going to High School with all the girls looking out the window and laughing at me. But then came pay back. I waited 2 weeks to get you back when your Ma-Ma bought you new pants that were too tight so when I pulled them down at the bus stop all I did was rip your 2 back pockets off and both sides of your butt were hanging out with your white underwear. Then my Mom had to buy you new pants. No matter how much trouble we got in, we could always sing and sing til the sun came up and I always new you were the 5th Beatle. Rest in peace and always remember when we left each other we always said, “love you man”. And I still do. Your buddy, Kevin.

I will miss my calls to you but will always keep you close to my heart. Madeline

    Toula and I have been talking about you and wondering how you were doing. We were so sorry to hear that you had passed away this past November. We will always miss you. You were the best hair cutter and stylist we have ever had and you always made the experience a happy one. You will be greatly missed.

    My man, Frank. I have this very clear memory of you in a black leather jacket and sunglasses. I can’t say exactly why or how that is the image I have in my mind, but I am so glad it is. The jacket and the glasses, accompanied by a grin and a chuckle. In an incredibly white space, Frank was maybe the only black adult i ever spoke to in The Ferg, thats not easily forgotten. I was always interested if Frank had seen any of the plays or musicals, I know I drove Tanya crazy asking. I think MAYBE he watched one act of Chicago. What I love and will remember most about Frank is how happy he made Tanya. I’ll never forget you Frank.

    I am deeply saddened by the loss of my good friend Rich West, but also am looking forward to a future reunion someday in heaven! Rich and I were almost next door neighbors from 1973-76 and hung out a lot in the Summers, and especially in the summer of ’75 when we spent our three month Summer break fishing in the small lake behind the West house, playing ping pong, and watching baseball on TV and their family dog Agnes eat crickets! In 2018/19 I found Rich on FB and was able to begin renewing our friendship since we hadn’t chatted since our family moved away in ’76. Shortly getting back in touch a USAF trip brought me to the local area where I was able to finally meet up Rich (and his lively wife Melissa) for dinner, and it was great to spend time together again after so many years. I’ll always remember his beaming smile, zest for life, and his common love for our Lord whose presence he now enjoys.

    Dear Janie,
    Katherine and I want to express our sorrow at Bruce’s passing. Bruce would often ride by our house on his motorcycle after spending time at the Crowe’s and we loved his quick wit and ever funny outlook on life. We had a few great rides when we were younger and one time rode to DC for the Memorial Day Rolling Thunder Rally. You probably remember as this ride was pre cell phone era and Bruce and I got separated during an intense thunderstorm. I stopped at a backroad gas station to change clothes and called Katherine and she called you, and you relayed that Bruce’s bike had broken down (gear shift lever broke). Bruce and I communicated between you and Kath that I was at a bar in Alexandria waiting for Bruce to arrive. We eventually hooked up and stayed at his place in Alexandria and rode in the solemn parade to the Vietnam War Memorial with thousands of motorcyclists. It was monumental and I’ll never forget that adventure! Bruce also showed me his favorite spots in Alexandria that weekend, one in particular, Hard Times Chili, which I still visit when I’m in DC. I will always remember these great times with Bruce. He will be sorely missed. Sincerely- Tim and Kath

    I will always remember my uncle, Bob, as a kind, jovial and decent person. His Navy career took him around the globe, and when he had shore leave, he always came to visit our family. At those visits, he told interesting stories, had pictures and slides of far-away places which piqued my interest in travel when I was young. Later, his pictures and stories focused on his beloved dogs and while I never got to personally meet them, his vivid descriptions made me feel as if I had. When he recently informed my mother and me by telephone his time was short, he was bravely able to objectively see the trajectory of his remaining days, but with humor indicating he regretted his sister (age 100) would outlive him.

    Though a lot of years have passed since I’ve seen cousin Tony, what has never left me is the kindness and peace he always exhibited. I know how much he always loved family and especially Cindy. Well done, Tony. Not the way your family would have wanted it – you leaving so early – but what a welcome heaven must be throwing! Hug all our fam up there for me.

    NAVY WIFE, BEST FRIEND OF 38 YEARS
    We first met Billi in Pensacola, FL back in 1984. Rich was stationed at NSA Pensacola where he worked with Billi’s then husband, Chris Winburn. The first day we met it was like seeing an old friend and we just clicked. Steve was 4 years old and Stephanie was only 2.
    We lost touch for a bit after we got orders to Charleston, SC in June of 1988.Such a joyous day when I ran into her at the bank on the other side of Summerville, SC.
    We stuck together from there through the bad times, Hurricane Hugo, Sept. 1989.
    All the great times we had together after she met Denver Summers in 1888. Trips to Short Stay campgrounds in Moncks Corner, SC and uncountable bbq’s at each other’s homes over the years.
    Even after Rich retired from the Navy in June 1997 the friendship continued to flourish. We have made trips to see them in Virginia Beach and they have been here to NY .We will treasure each and every memory of the love and friendship we had over 38 years. Gone but never forgotten…

It’s still difficult for those of us remaining, to be sure, but cling to the promises of God and one day we’ll all be together once again. I’m so sorry. Rich knew me as Buddy, just in case he ever came home from a match and described me as too competitive for my own good. I envied his good attitude and humble spirit. God Bless.

    I grew up in Va. Beach, and attended First Colonial High School, from 1971-1976, when First Colonial had grades 8th thru 12th, and FC had three football programs, Junior JV, JV, and varsity. So you could imagine how many guys were playing football back then. This is where I first met Mrs. Lett, as she drove the athletic bus.

    I remember the first time I got on the bus, as she said hello with such a nice smile and friendly greeting. We had just moved to Va. Beach a few months earlier, from Columbus, GA, after my Dad retired from the Army. I didn’t know one single person yet, and was on my way to the first football practice for me, along with my brother Eddie. We were a few days behind the August 10th start of summer practice, so the other guys were already practicing. As I met the coaches, and was given some pads and uniform, I headed out to the field with the Junior JV program, a total stranger to a bunch of guys who had been playing in community leagues together for several years.

    As I walk up and get in line, for a football drill, one guy turns around and says hello with a friendly greeting, he was Robbie Lett, one of Mrs. Lett’s sons. That started a longtime friendship with the Lett’s. Robbie’s older brother, Mark was a great football player on varsity, about to begin his senior year. Thru Robbie, I met Stan and Walter Parsick, and the four of us have had a continued friendship for over 40 years.

    I haven’t seen the Lett’s in many years, as I moved away in the early 80’s with a job. But Stan Parsick and I stayed in touch and he always kept me up on the Lett’s, as he saw them often. It was Stan, who called me to letme know Mrs. Lett was not doing well, and probably would not make it through the night. It sadden me that I had not seen her in a long time, but all the wonderful memories of her came pouring through.

    Mrs. Lett was an incredible person, who I was fortunate to know for so many great years in high school. She was such a big part of the football program, and I know many of the athlete’s from her time are heart broken by her passing. I know I will never forget her, or her family. If I could talk to her one last time, I would thank her for being such a friendly face for all those years. She was a big part of my life and memories of those high school years.

    My heart goes out to Mark, Robbie and the rest of her family.

    I will miss her.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great man. Roger and I spent a lot of time together from the time he and Jean met. He was quite a character and loved telling his stories. He was a caring, thoughtful man. He treated my Sister like a Princess. She wanted for nothing. We considered him a member of our family and We cherished his friendship. May he Rest In Peace.

    Bill started his ride on a salvaged Honda 450. He upgraded to a Honda 750 Shadow to a Harley Dyna and then to a Honda Goldwing. He loved the ride and his lovely wife was kind enough to let him make several notable trips. His laughter and shenanigans will be greatly missed by his riding buddies.

    I had the pleasure of working at the same law firm as Lorraine and Sharon. Lorraine’s generous heart blessed me even before I worked with her. My good friend, Laura Thornton, worked with Lorraine before I did. Laura was the recipient of the Jordana’s two tickets for a Redskins pre-season game and I went along as her guest. We had a wonderful time at the game and enjoyed the company of the Jordana’s fellow season ticket holder friends. Lorraine was a truly special person. Of all the people I’ve worked with, very few stand out as those I would be pleased and excited to see after being away from the workplace for years. Lorraine was one of those. She was interested in my life as a young, single woman and took time to encourage me. I did see her a few (not enough) times after we parted work company, and I was truly delighted to see her. She seemed delighted to see me, too! How special is that?

Don’t put off things you want to do or say. We might not get that opportunity again. Prayers for the family. Ride free my friend.

    Bob started out as Brother-in-Law but very quickly morphed into an older Brother. We developed a wonderful relationship filled with Laughter, Learning and a bit of beer at times. 🙂
    Over the years we shared our thoughts on everything from the meaning of life to where you could find the best burger in NYC. We debated often and it served to teach me a lot and I hope him a little also.
    Bob blessed me with my beautiful niece Amy who is now more of a little sister to me and in turn Amy gifted my family with her own. We love them all dearly. He gave my sister a beautiful loving life. Couldn’t have asked for more in someone to care for her (and keep her out of my hair LOL).
    I will always remember him as one of the best things about this lifetime alongside many others I have been blessed with. I loved how complex a person he was. How smart and quick witted. Verbally jousting for hours was our hobby. He was a hard man to figure out, but if you found the key it opened a new world for you. A world of laughter and knowledge to be treasured. Dude you keep a stool open for me next to you and Mooney. I know he found a Blarney Stone on some corner. ‘Til then Denise and I will take care of Rosie and think of you always. “Between who you once were and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.”

    Uncle Bob, I’m not quite sure where to even begin. You are so incredibly loved by my little Keys family, and to say that we miss you is an enormous understatement. I will never get used to the fact that I won’t hear you call me “pumpkin” anymore, I won’t hear you call Hudson “Rappahannock” anymore, I won’t hear you constantly poking fun at Erik being “one of the two tallest men in the world” anymore, and I won’t be able to introduce you to another little boy to love, Cayden. But most of all, and probably the hardest pill for me to swallow is knowing that I will never be able to just sit around with you, and listen to the jokes that always made me laugh, listen to the millions of random facts that you always educated me with, and listen to the stories of when you were younger, and lessons that you learned then that you passed on to me to know now. It’s hard knowing that you are gone from this life, but in some ways it is a relief to know that you are biking, running, cooking, and just doing all of the things that you always swore you missed so much in the last few years. Thank you for all of the countless trips to Vermont, and for watching me sled down the same hill over and over again, and never getting frustrated in the least when I would go right back up to the top of that hill. Thank you for all of the countless black beans and rice dinners that you made for me, even when you had no plans to cook it for yourself. Thank you for instilling in me the love for Ansel Adams’ photography, and the stories behind so many of his photos. Thank you for 30 years of laughs and smiles, and so much wisdom. Most of all, thank you for loving me far more than the uncle and godfather that you were to me. Thank you for loving Erik like a grandson from the moment that you met him, and thank you for loving my boys as your own blood.
    I had a dream the other night that you came to visit me. You didn’t say a word. But you were younger again, dressed in an old familiar t-shirt, and acid wash jeans. We just walked, and even though you didn’t say a word I felt a tremendous amount of peace. You were happy, and you were healthy again. You were the Uncle Bob from my childhood, and that is who I like to think you are once again.
    We love you Uncle Bob, so, so much. I know we will all see you again, and that it something to cherish and hold on to. Until then, the world is just a little less wise, a little less silly, and a little less bright without you in it.

I know not when I will join you, but I’ll be there sooner than you can imagine I guess, and “let the good times roll”. We can ride double on my bike and not get in trouble. We can skip rocks on the lakes of Heaven and not get in trouble. We even won’t be in trouble if you let me drive your Dad’s car and you won’t have to take the blame when I bump another car.

    My dear Connie and family,
    It was with sadness that I learned of Phil’s passing. I was sad when you moved away but in retrospect after reading his obituary I understand that it felt ‘right’ for you to ‘go home’, I hope it turned out to have been the right decision for you all. Sometimes one cannot ‘go home’ as it were. That applies to me. I can never go back to England to live. It just would not work and I know it. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up in England (which are kept alive by Masterpiece Theatre!). At the moment I am watching All Creatures Great and Small (for the 4 or 5th time – so many different productions of same. I watch all English Masterpiece series – sometimes just to see the countryside. I have so many wonderful memories of England and Karol (first husband) Karol will always be in my heart. Allan is in Health Care at RWC (soon to be in Assisted Living – step up. He has Parkinson’s Disease. Every day is a struggle for him)
    Memories are what keep us going Connie. Keep yours with Phil in your heart and mind and the love will go on forever!

    with love,
    Vikki Marek Young

    Renee Harmon was my very dear, long-time housekeeper in Williamsburg VA.
    She was fun to be around, reliable, completely trustworthy, friendly, and she also was a real animal lover like me! Renee and I kept in touch by phone long-after she stopped working for me in 2005, which was when I sold my Williamsburg house and moved from VA to Florida. She is unforgettable, that lady! And I so appreciated her.

Being in Health & Safety, when I would go over to the clinic to inquire about an employee injury, she would always address me as “Mr. Bradby”; maybe because I am old! She was always pleasant and willing to help in any way she could. I enjoyed listening to her when she returned from her trips. She led a such a beautiful and full life and she enjoyed her family.

    Linda was a true blessing (along with Brian) to our family when we first moved next door 18 years ago. Not even knowing us, she prepared our house before we even arrived. I still remember the ice cold lemonade she brought over on move in day when we pulled into the driveway.. We knew then that we made the right choice with such loving neighbors. With two babies (and a deployed husband), Linda was ALWAYS checking in and taking care of everyone. We are so fortunate to have lived beside them for two years and forever are grateful to Linda (& Brian). We love you, Linda.

    Our whole family has always loved Hunter from the very first time we met Carole and Hunter at a New Life Cell Group over 30 years ago. Our two boys grew up knowing that Hunter always had something for them in his pocket. He was continually upbeat, loving, and positive, at church events, mission trips, and was helpful to anyone in need. We are sorry to see him pass, but know that he finally is free of the suffering and shackles of his damaged and aging body and mind. Attached is a fuzzy photo of him in 1998 at a Dad & Boys Camp-out, as usual, surrounded by the younger generation.

Her smile would light up in the darkest room. Uncle Jr’s voice always gave me chills when he sang in the Good Shephard choir. I was so lucky to have been able to sing with him for those years.

An ironic New York Story: I was unaware that my Brooklyn neighbor was a classmate until years later. I mentioned this to Bob at the Memorial service during the 50th reunion and he stated that he had only walked my block thousands of times. Brooklyn and I were very proud of his accomplishments and so glad he was so successful. Grateful to you and him for his service to our country. I looked up to him. May his soul Rest In Peace.

    I had the pleasure and honor of working with Mary in the ODU Psychology Dept. for the last several years. For me, Mary was the “heart” of the Department. She always exuded genuine warmth, humor, and support while being a highly efficient and devoted professional. She was a huge asset to the University and touched many lives, including mine, in positive ways. Mary and I shared interests, especially with gardening and nature’s beauty. Anytime I would be in the main office, I would make it a point to poke my head into Mary’s office to say hello or have a catch-up chat if time permitted. Though we were co-workers, I regarded Mary as my friend. I’ll deeply miss her. It’s a blessing that I’ll be retiring soon, as it would be very sad for me to work without her. May she rest in peace. My sincere condolences to her family.

    We are so sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. Wasn’t too long ago we saw you both in Primo’s at dinner. I have many fond memories of flying RH-53’s with him when he was stationed at the Wing. He was an excellent aviator and a true patriot. May God lift you and you family up and help you as you grieve.

    I was a graduate student at ODU from 2005 to 2011. Mary was a source of warmth and comfort which is why I loved to go and see her in her office. I moved from Texas to come to ODU and didn’t know anyone. She immediately took me under her wing and made me feel at home. No matter what was going on, she always met you with a warm smile. I just hope she and her family knows how much she meant to all of us. She was such a blessing to ODU and the Psych department.

    I offer my sincere condolences to Mary’s loved ones. As a faculty member and department chair in the ODU Psychology Department, I was fortunate to know her and work closely with her over my 18 years in the department. To say that she was a valued department member is to understate her incredible contributions and status. Undergraduate and graduate students alike found a willing ear, gentle guide, and helpful confidant in Mary. I know that without her help I would have been lost as chair. I miss her sincerity, forthrightness, and sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and with the ODU family. Rest in peace!

    I´m very sorry to hear about your loss. I had the great privilege to get to know Del and I will never forget his sonorous voice, the picture of him relaxing on his brown leather chair with his wooden pipe in one hand. What a wonderful smell. Del was a very hard-working man and it was a great pleasure watching him transforming an old rusty car wreck into a wonderful shiny vintage vehicle. Magic hands! Once he even took me on a tour to Pennsylvania to buy spare parts at a special flea market. For me he was a great host father – back then in Medina, NY. I will always keep him in my heart.

    So sorry to hear about my fellow shipyard mate, country-honk buddy and old friend Hank. Many years ago while working along side of Hank, he was always specific and particular about his “piping” installation to be accomplished before any other work. Me, being an electrician; obviously didn’t agree with Hank. This taught us to agree to disagree and built a nice friendly relationship. Then I found out Hank liked country music and bluegrass. We really bonded then. I have many fond memories of “honky-tonking” with Hank. One fun time was at Country Comfort in Va Beach. A nice evening of country rock music was interrupted by a fight. All of a sudden out of nowhere here comes mister nice guy Hank jumping in the middle and breaking up the craziness. It was really neat and at the same time very funny. Hank was not a fighter. He was always the same person to me as he was straightforward, honest and true. My sympathies go to Vicki and his son Cody, whom I’ve never meant but Cody please know your Dad was a very kind person and a true friend.

Afterwards saw her on several occassions due to my almost yearly visits to my brother. My instincts about her were always good, Im sorry to hear she´s gone quite so young. May she rest in peace and bring that peace to this world so in need of it. May her wishes for a better world without abuse for kids, women and animals (always those who are weaker and most vulnerable) come true! Best to her family and friends. Lonecia amongst them.

    I was very sorry to hear of my friends passing . I met Richard in 2000 when I was hired at Alexander’s on the bay in Virginia Beach . It’s kind of funny looking back on it because when I met Richard, to me he seemed a little stiff .Right from the get go to me he seemed to be up my butt on everything I was doing as a new employee. It took all of a couple of shifts to realize that this guy really knew his stuff and was only trying to make me a better and more knowledgeable server . He’d used to say and I quote ‘ Dude this is fine dining ! ” When Richard found out from the manager who hired me that I owned a couple of restaurants , ran the food and beverage operation at a major hotel casino in Atlantic City and the reason she hired me was because of my whimsical whittyness not to mention the experience. Needless to say Richard and I became great friends in and out of work . We had so much in common . Our love for Bmw’s , the passion we both shared in the hospitality business and most of all a sense of humor . On the floor I could never shake him ,,but in the kitchen I could make him laugh so hard his eyes watered up . When I used to get an occasional customer who was trying to empress his date with his so called wine knowledge I’d politely say, ” that is a tad behind my knowledge ” then I’d grab Richard . I used to get great joy of having him come over to my table and totally blow this guy away with his knowledge of fine wine . He did that with such tact and grace the customer never thought for a second he just got made a fool of . God ! He was so masterful . The other part of Richard was his kindness and generosity. He was a very caring and giving man who always judged people by their character. Knowing him for the last 20 plus years was a privilege and I will miss him dearly as I’m sure everyone who knew him feels the same way . Fairwell my good friend and God bless your family.

    There are no words.. but I send my deepest condolences to my close friends Vivian and Courtney and their entire family during this difficult time. When we are weak, God is strong. I pray for His strength to surround you and His peace to comfort you. Our children are just loaned to us and sometimes God calls them up because He needs angels in ways we don’t understand, yet. I know to be absent in our body, is to be present with the Lord, eternally! So the only forever is in heaven.🦋✝️🤍 xo

    Mrs. Lett was a cheerful and loving person, welcoming to anyone and everyone! She always took time to sit with her children and us (friends of her children) to talk and laugh with us. She was interested in what we were doing and encouraged our good efforts. I know that she will be greatly missed, but has gone on to a better place, where she can be free of pain and happily await her loved ones. Sending love and condolences to all her family.

    I was sorry to hear about Mr. Bunting’s passing. For some strange reason I was thinking about him and Mrs. Bunting last week. Enjoyed growing up with Steve and playing ball with him in our earlier days. To this day Sharon remains the BEST cutter of my hair. Many a cut I received in her parent’s basement. I can still see Mr. Bunting’s blue eyes and dark tan smiling face. I am glad and proud to have known him and thank God for that. My thoughts and prayers will be with him and the entire family.

    I was sad to hear of my cousin’s passing and want to send all of you my deepest condolences. Even though our families had grown so far apart, our Grandma Baker would keep in touch with Tracy and would give me updates and show me pictures that Tracy would send. Grandma Baker has been gone for 20 years now, so Facebook has provided that same glimpse into her/your life. I reflect today on the joy she gave Grandma when she’d write and it makes me smile, knowing that Grandma held her close even if she didn’t get to see her. May you all find peace in knowing that she is no longer battling. My heart and prayers go out to you! God bless you and keep you

    I remember…
    ~I remember how excited your mom and dad were to hear you were coming in to this world
    ~I remember your mom’s excitement when she learned you were a girl
    ~I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. Your mom insisted on stopping for barbecue on the way to the hospital. It made her very, very sick. I don’t have to tell you how she is when she sets her mind to something. There was and is no changing it, she was determined to stop at Waterside for barbecue.
    ~I remember your dad making it just in time for your arrival, like literally we were wheeling your mom in to delivery. I was disappointed I didn’t get to be there but super happy that your dad made it in time.
    ~I remember the matching outfits you and your mom wore for pictures
    ~I remember the immeasurable sadness yet such an overwhelming sense of pride as we accompanied you to the operating room where you extended the gift of life to so many others through organ and tissue donation.
    ~I remember how bright the sun was shining on our drive home after we said good bye. Your mom and I knew it was you telling us all is well in heaven

    I remember so many things, good things, happy things. Although I didn’t see you grow up I thought of you every June 21st-every.single.one. There is a hole in the hearts of so many. You were so very loved, in fact more than I think you ever knew and by people like myself that you had no memory of, but oh baby girl, you were loved.

    I’m sure the heavenly reunion with your dad and your Aunt Net was glorious. Rest easy Brittany Kate, fly high. Watch over your mom, Courtney your little sis, Layla bug and baby B, grandma, grandpa uncles and friends as they learn to navigate life without you. Send them a message every now and then. They’ll know it’s you.

I searched for him over the years to let him know that I had married a Puerto Rican and that our four children are half Puerto Rican!

    I hardly knew my first cousin, Martha. I was born in 1946, and she was closer to my late sister, Nancy, who was born in 1944. Both uncle Clark Sr. and his wife, Melba have passed. Nancy died of breast cancer. On the bright side, Martha’s cousin and my little sister, Phoebe Amanda, who was born in 1954 is still alive. We share a house in SE Roanoke County. I guess I am still alive too, as my face still reflects in a mirror!!. My father, Clark Sr., told me that our grandfather, James Mantelle Thomas Jr., told his first son that he deeply regretted that his and Dick’s father died in an explosion in 1945, and took to his grave many wonderful things he knew. That inspired me over the years to write and upload more than 160 essays and five books. You can find them at astronomy-links.net, and go to the Clark’s Web Pages section. Otherwise, I wish only the best to all of Martha’s surviving family. She was quite the Southern Lady, and brilliant too.

    The day I heard about my father’s passing, I had a hard time trying to talk to people if I even spoke to them at all.

    My father has always been there for me and always made sure that his children knew how much he loved them. The day my sister passed, I managed to see how my father would look if his world had fallen to pieces because in a way it did and that night I managed to see a glimpse of my father still looking at me as if I was a child getting on the bus, as he made sure to watch that I was able to get back to my niece’s safely even though it was just around the block.

    I still have trouble believing any of this is real but I’m thankful to have had all the time with him that I was lucky to be given because even in death, I will never doubt the love my father had for me and I can’t stop missing him..

    I was Paul’s neighbor in the early 1990s and again in the early 2000s. We had many talks about the Lord and sports. He was one of the most positive people I know. His recall was amazing: I mentioned a Redskins-Falcons game which had happened 25 years ago – in 1978! – and he gave me details! I also played a lot of basketball and softball with Paul – he made some incredible shots wearing glasses! And of course, we went to church together. He was a godly man – I never heard him curse once! We both knew the power of God’s forgiveness and I am sorry to learn of his passing. But I know he is in the hands of the Lord. Rest in peace, Paul. ❤

    My dear Zuraw friends please accept my my deeply felt condolences at Sydney’s untimely passing. She was such a lovely lady and it was always a great blessing to be in her presence. I have many fond memories of time spent with your family as Taylor and I worked to understand the mysteries of her math at NSA. I treasure our time together and hold all of you in the special niche of my being reserved for those who have blessed me with their friendship. Please know that I also grieve her loss…so long Sydney it was so good to have known you!

    Regards…love and blessings…..Phil Shore

    Ellen, I am at a loss for words. I know that nothing can take away the pain that you are feeling for the loss of your sweet Kenny. He was a wonderful friend & everyone adored him. May his love for you and your family carry you all through the sad days ahead and lift you up when the days become unbearable. Just know that we are sending you our love and support. I hope you can understand what we can’t put into words. Love, Terry & Bev Schoch 🙁

    Rest easy my love. Thank you for 43 years of love and happiness. It wasn’t always perfect but I think we did a great job. Serving together in the military, raising two awesome children, and spoiling three great grandkids. I will always love you. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you on the other side. ❤️❤️❤️

    When I applied for the conference center position I was real early. He saw me in the hallway and knew who I was and said “you must really want to work here but if you do don’t be this early for work” I had trouble getting away from my last squadron because of an inventory I took three times . They call agin and he got mad marched over with me and walked right into the office of the superintendent and said “Cerda is done here he took the inventory three three times too many he works for me now don’t call or bother him again understand” then he said let’s go Cerda. They did not call agin a month letter they sent over someone with my metal and said don’t tell SMSGT James please.

    This is truely a tough one for me.

    I met him as SMSgt James, my Supervisor (ACC Conference Center Superintendent). He quickly became a Mentor, a Friend, a Father-Figure, a Big Brother, a Fishing Buddy, and an Honest Shoulder to Lean on. After the first day, he was forever known to me as “TJ”.

    He had the Biggest Heart and would give his last to anyone that needed it.

    As a young NCO, with no where to go on Thanksgiving & Xmas, each year he would invited me over to his house to spend these special days with his Family.

    His Family became Our Family. His Wife, my Mom. His Daughter, my Sister. And his Son, my Brother. We are still very close even today.

    Val, Jade, and Torrey… I Love You. If you ever need anything, please let me know.

    TJ, We Will Forever Love You; and I Pray that You are Resting In Peace.

Little to say, I was humbled our second time on the water. Ashley and I still get a laugh to this day when we dropped the little one off and you couldn’t find his water so you gave him EXTRA Sweet Tea! Thank you James family for sharing Tony with the world.

    I only knew Tony for a short time in his long and distinguished career. I had no idea he travelled extensively or achieved so much in his life. It only shows me that I knew such a small part of such a big man, and I missed out on a lot. He was indeed a kind and generous man and will be missed by many. He left a hole that will not be filled in this world. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

    Tony, was an amazing friend and mentor. I worked with him on the NMCI project and he took me under his wings and ensured I was ok. I was part of a traveling team from California and was on the East coast with no family or friends. Tony gave me his cellphone number and told me not to hesitate to call him. I took him up on that offer so many times and he always answered the phone and always provided advice and guidance. I always left those conversations feeling so much better than before I called him. We lost contact and I’m feeling so sad but I know that isn’t what Tony would want. Tony, you will be missed. Thank you, for always being there for me.

    I went to elementary and middle school with Carlos and have kept in touch ever since we went to different high schools. When he left to Cali, I had a strong feeling I wouldn’t see him again so when he mentioned that he was coming back to NN I suggested that we go out to dinner to celebrate his accomplishments. I was wondering why he didn’t get back in contact with me and now I know why. I miss his stupid little chat messages and how he always made time for me. Whenever he is, I hope he’s finally at peace. Thanks for always being there and for being goofy.

Please know Kenny’s impact on so many of his “family” at Surry Power Station is simply immeasurable. He was one of the best plant managers in Surry’s long and successful history. Kenny was tough, but fair, consistent, and compassionate…all of the attributes anyone could ask for in an executive leader. But way more than that, he was our friend and a mentor to many. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on through good deeds done to others by those who knew and loved him. Peace, Love, & Light. DKM

He was always so bright and warm, I always looked forward to his visits! He and Kay hosted me, when I was 20, for a wonderful and still memorable trip to Florida. When my parents retired for a time in Virginia, he would share many family memories with me on my visits, especially of he and my Dad. He was always a supportive, and loving presence in my life, calm, with a wonderful sense of humor! He lived a life of help to others, and his long life was very well lived.

    So sorry for your loss. I have two great stories with your Mom. I will share one that should make you smile.
    It happened at the Pulaski ice rink. Your mom and I were working the open skate desk together because both Addie and Emma (and Avery) were doing skating lessons in Pulaski and as parents we were required to work them. I had never met your mother before this (and Emma was only 3). As we were working the desk together we started talking about who we were, our kids, etc. during that conversation she asked me why I moved to NYS. Then I said “oh my husband is from Sandy Creek and we moved here to be closer to his Dad”. Then your mom asked “who’s your father-in-law?” When I said Jim Turo the expression on her face was epic. What a small world and funny that this is how I got to know your Mom for the first time.

    I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. We worked together in the Norfolk Assessor’s office for 34 years, many of them under Charlie Suggs. He definitely was a fun-loving golf enthusiast who adored his family. I wish he could have made the office reunion dinner last year.

    My condolences to Mike’s family. The Dunstan family moved next door to us in Arrowhead in the mid-1960s. My little brother and I grew up with the Dunstan boys. Mike knicknamed me Rainbow because of my hair color changing and one of his brothers called my little brother Bald Headed Water Rat which got shortened to just Rat. We had great times. I’m so very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great guy.

    Zelia was a fantastic person!!! My late wife Heloisa, daughter Amanda, son Murilo and myself had the pleasure to meet her and Rory in the early 1990´s. Since then we kept our relationship. We had great moments together ; Zelia was always positive, helped people; pursued her personal goals; was fully motivated, self-driven; caressed and loved her kids; gave significant support to Rory; participated intensively in the church community, even converting people; put many hours to help others. She left good memories and always will be in our hearts. God has a special place for her!!!

    Condolences to Darla, Melissa Bangs, Boston, Tristan and Jamie, and Brenton Furman. May memories of the happy times you shared w/Steve help sustain you during this difficult time.
    Many years have passed since I first met Darla and Steve and from the first they became good friends. Steve will be missed by so many. He was the most caring and generous person to all. Many a time, he came to help me, with some household problem I could not handle on my own, once my husband passed, and I am ever grateful for that help. Soft spoken and “cool”, just seemed so relaxed all the time. I loved how he helped raise Darla’s grandson Brenton, when Brenton’s mom died suddenly. Steve loved that boy as his own, and guided him to become the man he is today. He was also very caring about Boston and Tristan, and loved to spend time with them and take them to places to have fun experiences. I know he had other grandchildren but I never go to meet them, perhaps they lived somewhere other than Virginia Beach; never met his daughter or his son, in the over 30 years that we have been friends. Steve was a good son. He went to spend time with his mother in FL every year, and spoke often about her. I know he rests in peace, free of the pain he was suffering in the last months of his life. May he be forever remembered by all whose lives he touched with kindness and loving thoughts.

    My son and Yak were school mates and neighbors in the Phoebus neighborhood near Jane Bryan School. At that time we lived on Corey Circle and the boys developed a special friendship and my son became familiar with others; Peedy, Norman, Richard, and David. I remember well the Saturday morning get togethers of cartoon watching, all day playing and bike riding. Yak was always welcomed; he was a very well mannered and polite young boy. His smile was a winning compliment to his demeaner.

    We are so saddened to hear of Yaks passing but thankful that our paths crossed in life. My condolences to the Blackley family and especially Mrs. Robinson.

    The heavens will shine a little brighter now, that much I know. Like so many, I was blessed to work with Lorraine and Sharon at Clark & Stant. The late Tom Shuttleworth rescued me from the Commonwealths Attorneys Office; I owe him a great deal for his friendship and his willingness to give me a chance. But make no mistake, what I knew about the legal world outside of the Courthouse was ridiculously close to nothing. It was Lorraine who showed me the way and who remains, without question, the single most important Professor I ever had. She not only launched my career but was so much my beautiful friend. Joe and Lorraine remain today the model for my understanding of what a marriage can be and should be. Those days at Clark and Stant ,from the softball team to the important work of that powerhouse Firm where a constant joy to me thanks to her. Redskin tickets and the Jordana”s cottage steps from my favorite surf spot in NC were icing on the cake for the everyday joy of her guidance and professional approach, which i continue to recall and attempt to improve 40 years of practice later. Those were glorious and productive years and Lorraine showed me the way with grace and humor and a dedication to quality that I have never seen since. Bob Samuels, her next pupil after I left when the firm split, has said it so beautifully in his remarks above, with great heart and soul.
    Im sure she has already taught St. Peter a thing or two. And I know Tyler was there to give her a hug as well when the Gates opened.
    Thank you Lorraine , for all your generous wisdom and your beautiful friendship. and thanks to the Jordana Family for all their support as well. You all are in my prayers.

    My deepest condolences to the whole Alspaugh family. I know from all that I have spoken to since the loss, it has been a shock and great loss for all. I was lucky enough to have known Jesse from his start at the shipyard. I believe I was one of his first STE’s when he was an ASTE on the USS Cincinnati when Mitch was our CTE. In addition to all the names identified that he was called, it was on this first ship that the crew affectionately called him “Little” Lyle Alzado, the football player (see attached picture), since back then Jesse’s curly black mullet and beard did bear some resemblance. My memories always go back to night shifts and the times we would leave the ship and head up back to the office. He and my other ASTE (Kip Dotson), would often spring out from behind a corner and go for the take-down like pro wrestlers right in the hall. I held my own for as long as I could each time. We were young and that was a long time ago, but it remains one of my fondest memories of the 3rd floor of Building 1500. Even long after leaving that group, no matter how high Jesse climbed the ladder, I was always able to come back to his office where he would put other things aside and we would talk about old times like it was only yesterday. Anyone that knew him know that is what he was like. The other picture attached is Jesse with some other C-2340 people (if you can recognize them) at Mitch’s retirement party. As you can see, he was always engaging, interested in what you had to say and he always had a great story to tell. We worked hard, played hard, he was always the consummate professional, but most importantly, he is the friend and family member that will be greatly missed, even for those of us who only saw him sparingly in the later years. Again, peace and comfort to the family and all that knew him.

    Joann & Roy were more than my parent’s neighbors for over 30 years, they were part of our family. Joann always treated my kids as if they were her own grandchildren and made it a point to tell me how much she loved them and how they were her grandkids too (makes me smile to even write those words). She never let a holiday or birthday go without reaching out to them. That relationship was so special to all of us. We are deeply saddened by her loss and will forever be grateful for how much time we were able to spend with her & Roy through the years. We hope Joann & Roy’s nieces & nephews find comfort in knowing how much they were loved.

    My deepest sympathy go out to you for the loss of your loved one. He was my commanding officer on board the John King and you couldn’t ask for a better captain and I truly mean what I say here. Mrs Bishop, there were two times that I had to go before Cmdr Bishop for mistakes I made in the Navy and the first time he made me feel like he had known me my whole life, I immediately liked him, he was just and fair with me and from that time on I was comfortable with him. The second time I went before him was pretty much the same. I had disobeyed an order and was written up and justly so. We were steaming back to Norfolk after our Indian Ocean deployment and due back in five days. I remember what he said to me, he knew that just days before my wife had delivered our first baby and he would not fine me because of that. He gave me ten days restriction to the ship with five days at sea and five days at Norfolk with a stern lecture on the importance of always carrying out an order when directed regardless of how injust it may seem, then make your feelings known. He even let me go to the Portsmouth Navel hospital to visit my wife and son as there had been complications. In 1987 it was Cmdr Bishop who made it possible for me to work in commercial nuclear power, a position I made a career out of. I’m so honored that I got to know him that I’ve grieved his passing when I got the news. Ron Bishop, Commander, Husband, Father, and Grandfather had a positive influence in my life and I shall miss him.

    My deepest condolences to Donna and the rest of Chick’s family including Pam’s parents. Chick’s love and unselfish devotion to Pam’s care was a beautiful thing. Donna’s devotion to her brother’s care was equally beautiful.

    The list of Chick’s personal sacrifices in the process of caring for Pam would be miles long. He bore it all with selfless grace. It had to be a heartbreaking, lonely journey for him. I wished a million times that I lived closer and could have helped him.

    I met Chick and Pam through Danny Johnson and Robert Parker when I relocated to Virginia Beach to work in the beachwear market in the early 80s. The Fords, not yet married, kidnapped me and took me home with them the first night we met at a party at Danny’s cool old house on 55th St. C and P held me hostage at their house overnight. I’ll never forget the night, or how they bent over backwards to welcome a single, semi scared young woman into their fold.

    I watched Chick take his apparel retail experience and convert it into a very successful sales career calling on surf shops and beachwear stores up and down the mid Atlantic coast. The shop owners loved him and trusted his guidance. He developed deep and lasting friendships. He helped a whole lot of business owners, both retailers and manufacturers, make some good profits over the years. Stubbies, Australia, Nat Norfleet Hawaii, De La Mere women’s swimwear, and many more. He was one of the top reps in his territory. He loved doing it.

    I think Christmas 2021 is the first time in 40 years that I haven’t gotten a holiday card from Chick and Pam. And Chick apologized for not sending one! They kept tracking me through my many moves over the years, never letting go of the friendship.

    Chick’s passing is a big, jarring milestone in my life. So many memories of happy, joyful times are flooding back. A few sad ones too. I am full of love and gratitude for every bit of it.

    I will look forward to going back to Virginia Beach in the fall to celebrate the life of one of the greatest men and loyal friends I’ve ever known.

    Rest in peace Chick, my dear dear friend. You will be greatly missed and remembered by everyone who was lucky enough to call you friend.

    Aunt Joann was a force with which to be reckoned. Some might say that I did not know her very well, but I knew her well enough. I had the opportunity to visit with her, speak with her, and heard so many amazing stories. It could be said of her that she had the fire of life—but I would say that the life in her was not a fire, it was a blaze. She had incredible strength and kindness and she was never afraid to tell you exactly what she thought. She was also human, a fact that we tend to ignore not only in remembrance but also in life. In her humanity there were mistakes and misfortunes all of which she would be the first to admit. If there was one thing to know about Joann, it was that she knew exactly who she was. She gave no excuses—not for herself and not for others. THAT was her power—a power that I hope to one day have. It was that power my husband recognized the first time he met Joann—it’s presence so positively overwhelming and contagious.

    This power gave her an incredible strength that few possess and made her the woman that we know and love. It is a power that is not easily gained nor is it easy to take away—though many certainly tried. She was unafraid to tell you who she was and what she believed in and she was quick to stand up for others and not belittle or deride. If you talked to her on the phone—the conversation was always short (some would say it was because she didn’t want to be on the phone for long periods of time)—which may be the case; but I also think it’s because Joann knew to get to the point of the conversation: she wanted to tell you she loved you. And she did every single time. I can still hear her Southern Belle drawl—the sound of comfort and sincerity. She didn’t just love her family; she loved her neighbors, her friends, really everyone.

    Through my work, I have the opportunity to work with individuals who have various forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It can be a devastating and daunting disease. I have not experienced it first-hand for long periods of time as the incredible healthcare workers (like my hero of a sister), who battle on behalf of our loved ones, do every day. But in my brief experiences, I have seen light and recognition come out of the darkest depths of confusion. In the end, Joann may not have recognized faces or remembered names, but I have the faith and hope to safely guarantee one thing: SHE KNEW WHO SHE WAS. And if she had the ability to speak through the fog of sedation, I would imagine she would say only one thing to those listening: “Alright darlin’, I love you.” Always right to the point—the most important point.

    Perhaps my view of Joann is still through the eyes of an adoring child and great niece, but it is my view. I admit fully that writing this is for my own benefit—my way of grieving. But if there’s anything that I do in her honor, it will be to accept myself for exactly who I am and forgive myself of my humanity. As I hope she will forgive me for not being there, for letting work and social engagements overwhelm my life to the point that I neglected family. I hope she will forgive me for my cowardice and fear—fear of being shut out or of causing strife.

    One thing I know is that her power—this ability to accept and love herself—is the power we should all learn to harness. I believe she would want us to live by her example and try to learn from her mistakes—at least that’s what I would want my loved ones to do. Of course it is so easy to say in writing and in words that tumble onto the page or out of the mouth—but imagine a world in which we all strived to live with an indestructible power of acceptance of ourselves and not only a burning desire to live, but a blazing desire. Sprinkle in kindness, humility, forgiveness, empathy, and most importantly, LOVE (love of ourselves and others), and we would no longer walk in a fog of fear.

    I know that when I think of Joann, my heart will and does fill with love, joy, and the deepest respect. I will remember the good memories and the bad. I will accept her life and her personality with all of its beauty and faults—because that’s who she was in all of her amazing glory. Which is just as I hope to someday be remembered—as a force to be reckoned with, but also a human being.

    May we all live to be like Joann and may it always be said—She knew who she was.

    When my husband, Tim, and I moved to 58th Street 14 years ago, Chick and Pam noticed us alone on the beach and invited us into their beach circle. People flocked to our street because that was where he was. We enjoyed hearing about the days of their block parties and beach life. Everybody knew and loved Chick and Pam, and if they didn’t it was their loss. We immediately became close friends spending our days on the beach and many summer nights at various music venues, often ending up listening to music at their house. In later years I would walk with them up and down the North End. Chick knew the history of the homes along the way. He had many stories about time spent with friends in many of them. Chick once told me that he was too selfish to have kids. He was wrong. He was a wonderful man, devoted friend and all-around good guy. I will continue to enjoy days on the beach, but our street will never be the same without him. Many others have expressed this sentiment. I will think of him every time I am out there. Chick will live on there and in our hearts.

    Our hearts were broke when we were notified of Chick’s passing. Someone upstairs had a surfboard, beach chair-with cooler and sunglasses waiting for him. There are so so many memories of our friendship with Chick and Pam, I’m unable to list them-just so many. At one time, I lived in the back of the duplex and they were in the front. What an awesome time. They never let me miss out on any holiday or event, as then I was single. We celebrated Christmas Eve, Neptune Festival, Sertoma Spring Fling, Exchange Party, birthdays and any other reason to enjoy life. When they remodeled 58 th Street, they along with Ace, their dog, spent 4 months living with us. Talk about crazy times. His devotion to Pam was endless to assure she lived loved and happy until she had to reside away from him. We moved to Florida, but that did not halt our phone calls and conversations. When in Va Beach in Sept, we visited with Chick. Walking into the condo, it was full of art and memories and Chick. We treasure that visit. Our condolences to Donna, and Pam, and Pam’s parents. ❤️

We both then started to get to know each other when Ladell Payne, President of Randolph-Macon formed the Board of Associates. As Presidents of that Board we both then became members of the Board of Trustees. What can I say but that Don was a great man to know! He gave a lot to RMC. Sincerely, Ralph Crosby

    Dear family of Don Perry,
    It is with great sorrow and sympathy that I write to you about the loss of Don. We met 62 years ago when I entered Randolph-Macon College as a freshman from Baltimore. I lived in the motel dorms and Don was one of my earliest friends. After College we worked together on the R-MC Board and many committees. He led me and many other Trustees as well as members of the administration with his enthusiastic support for so many projects.
    Don and I also co-invested in a few things and he was always a welcome and knowledgeable partner.
    Don was a wonderful human being and your loss is a loss to all of us who knew and loved Don Perry.
    With sincere sympathy,
    Ben Schapiro

    Chick was always so caring and welcoming. We spent many great times together on the beach enjoying talking about our lives, current events and experiences. In recent years we haven’t spent time on the beach together but when walking our dogs down the street he would wave at us from his upstairs window and we’d have a good chat. We already miss being able to catch up with him from the window. Chick always brought a smile to your face. He will be remembered and missed. We will cherish our fond memories of Chick.

    Dear Nancy and family,
    Your Bill left a deep and meaningful imprint on many.
    Bill Parker hired me at CPC in August of 1985 as a writer/editor on his team. He taught me a great deal about writing, PR and leadership. When Patrick and I married in 1988 and moved to Charlotte, Bill connected me to his mega-network. I will always be grateful for his support and mentorship.
    Nancy and Bill attended our wedding and each time I sip wine, I thank them both for the beautiful crystal they gave us.
    Sometimes families don’t know the deep impact their loved ones have on people whose lives they touched. It’s so important for you all to know of Bill’s many gifts to those he mentored.
    Sending you all care and thanks. I hope this note has made you smile.
    Warmly,

I had a long history with Don … first as his legal counsel for many years … and then opposite to him when he purchased Dixie Box & Crating Company from another client of mine. Throughout all of our dealings, Don and I always remained friends personally. I knew his health had begun to fail, but he always had a great attitude. Don was a resilient businessman, and he had a never give up attitude. I will personally miss Don greatly, and wish all of his family members my deepest condolences on his passing. Tom Snyder

    My most unforgettable memory of Cecil Welsh is the sight of him at the top of a ladder against his Croatan house approximately 20-feet above ground. He was in the process of fixing something on the exterior of the 2nd or 3rd story. Possibly re-caulking a window. Along with my surprise of seeing a ladder of such length, I was shocked to see this 55-year-old man engaged in this work. But Cecil was deep in his element; focused on the task, proud of this ladder, and smiling on that bright clear day. Looking down at me he began to explain the intricacies of the project. I tried to listen, but my mind began to wander, watching the ladder sway with the exaggerated motion of his torso and one free hand used to describe the process of the repair. To this day, I think of Cecil Welsh every time to climb a ladder.

I would have liked to have gone to her service but did manage to send her daughter a card and note.

If not, I am sure I will get the card I send you back in about three months or so from the USPS. Would love to see you and hope you are in good health.

    I met Tony the first week we were at Tech. He had come over to my dorm to visit a friend from high school and we were briefly introduced. The first day of classes I had Geology class at 8AM. The class was in an auditorium of about 150 people. As I was looking around for a seat I saw a big guy with blond hair and a mustache that I thought I recognized. I went over and asked if I could sit next to him and reintroduced myself. He reminded me his name was Tony and we became best friends not just for the next 6 years but forever. Although we went our separate ways and didn’t talk as often as I wish we had (my fault) I consider him to be my brother and I hope he felt the same way about me. He was the kindest, most generous, smartest person I have ever known. I love him and will miss him. Love to you Ann, Mary, and Emily. Pam and I send our deepest sympathies. If you ever need anything or wish to talk don’t hesitate to contact us.

Both the written memorial and the slide presentation brought to me more smiles than tears! My wish for Brian is contained in the words of Isaiah 26:19 which in part says “Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! …..And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” May you be comforted in looking forward to that wonderful event when Jehovah’s promises are fulfilled and Brian can live life to the full.

He was a loving person, and was a part of our congregations worship of Jehovah, he loved the meetings. It was joyful to see his many pictures with the family, those memories are to be cherished. In spite of the challenges, your family had many blessings with Brian may those memories continue to fill your hearts with loving memories, while we look forward to the great and wonderful day when Jehovah calls him back from the dead! Job 14:13-15 May Jehovah’s Sure promises continue to lift your hearts as you all press on in God’s service! Your friend and brother in the faith Jerry Fulcher

Martin shared so many gifts and talents with our community as a member of our board of directors helping us navigate many challenges, turning them into successes. In addition to the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast board, he had as strong commitment to our community as a Rotarian. He truly worked to make our community a better place, a true gentleman.

    Johnson Family,
    I still miss Tipton after several years. He was quite a character and he never ran out of good stories, humorous conversations and jokes. He was a fixture here at the Bedford and Moneta libraries. He would come by almost daily to go online, read the paper and periodically have his blood pressure checked here at the library. I still make note of his existence here at the library to my co-workers and share his stories. I sure do miss my friend. I wish I could have offered a farewell, but such is life. He was like an uncle to me.

    Matt was one of the kindest and easy going friends I’ve ever had (unless I was trying to get him to eat a vegetable 😸). I am so grateful for the friendship that literally turned into family, and that we always stayed in touch over the last 15 years. We would go a year without talking and pick right back up where we left off, as if no time had passed. He was so generous and thoughtful, and I’m extremely grateful that I was able to call him one of my besties for so long. After not seeing each other for a few years and in the beginning of my journey into recovery, I walked into a meeting and saw him from across the room. I ran over to him, crying and so happy to see him there. I held his hand tight the whole meeting and when it was over, asked the owner if we could sit in the shed. We ended up staying all day, talking about Jay, our kids and about how we had gotten to where we were. He was always a “safe place” for me,even during my rock bottom moments. A few months later, I was still a hot mess and learning how to live normally and didn’t have anything for my son Jayces 3rd birthday party. He took me to pick up his Jace and we stopped at the store where he had Jace pick out a cake and decorations to meet his cousins for the first time. He made sure that I didn’t feel guilty or beat myself up about dropping the ball on the party, comforting me with that big smile and genuinely being happy to help. It was one of the best days I’ve lived, seeing our kids bond and laughing every time someone called a Jace/Jayce (“Jace! No OTHER Jayce” lol). In 2020 he stayed with me for a few weeks so that he could help me move from VA to NC and helped unpack and get settled once we were moved in. My last and one of my favorite moments with him were spent on my porch wearing onesies. He wore a Mickey Mouse one, I wore a reindeer. I’m really grateful that he was comfortable enough to be silly with me, because there weren’t too many times we goofed off like that. I already miss him so much and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. I thank the Lord that he isn’t in pain anymore and I trust that his spirit will live on in his family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. He always spoke so highly of his mom and how supportive she was and how grateful he was that she cared so much. I wish that we were meeting under different circumstances, but I would really love to give her a big hug. Rest in peace, Matt. I love you so much and I pray that your soul is at peace and that you’re up there cracking jokes with Jesus and Jay. 🤍🤍🤍

    I remember Aunt Laruie and I picked you and Sophie up when you were little kids and drove you all the way up to Maine. I remember how excited you were by the tidal pools at the beach and how comfortable you were away from mom and dad. I am glad we both shared in your Grandpa’s love of music and it was always special to him that you chose to play the bass. My heart goes out to your mom especially , she hung on to hope longer than most, the true sign of a mothers love. You will be missed by so many and of course my self included. I would have loved to jam with you. Save me a set , tell Buzz I said hi , learn to play 6 strings so Grampa dosn’t have to give up his seat. Love to all

    One time Matt and Sophie told me I was the cool Aunt !! I really liked that! I got to know them when Matt was around six maybe a little younger. Visiting their house was always fun! many dogs Large dogs! Karate! I really cherish the week that Matt and Sophie came to Maine with us we had such a good time! I hadn’t had any kids of my own yet and we got to play at the beach ,pick berries ,make pies ,hike around it was a lot of fun. Not being a parent yet and not really understanding kids I sent Matt out on a grocery run on an old bike we had around .He was 8 !!! money and directions in hand. After about two hours he came back!!! He had been completely lost and I was totally not worried ? Many family camping trips , Cousins getting to know each other. Matt will be missed, I feel glad to only have wonderful memories of him being happy and adventurous !I’m sorry his last year’s were painful. You are loved by many family and friends. My heart goes out to the many who will miss Matt . Especially Dana, Leroy, Soph love you !

    Matt, My Dear Son,
    I will always remember your positive, free spirit and your voice when you called “HI MOM”! You loved your sons Gavin and Jace and treasured spending quality time with them. You loved growing up with your sister “Soph”, making happy childhood memories and laughing over discussing them later. Adventurous, “no worries”, always walking away from negativity. Loved good friends, music, DURBURBIA, happy family times, kindhearted, always willing to help people who wanted to help themselves. I’m so sorry you will not be able to watch your sons grow up to be men and that they will not have you in their lives.
    You are finally free from the demons that tried to rob your soul. You never wanted to admit weakness or ask for help, even though I tried so hard and many of your good friends would have tried to help you as well.
    I’m thankful you are now in peace with JESUS with no more pain and suffering, “NO WORRIES”
    I love you and will aways remember your positive/loving soul.
    I can’t wait to see you again in happier times.
    Love, MOM

(We never did find your underwear that day. ). You always had a big smile on your face and were a loyal friend. The years spent living next to you were too few but were some of my favorite memories. Much love to your whole family. Thanks for making me a part of it. Until we meet again in the big grass patch in the sky. Love you!❤️

    Where do I start so many good memories when we where kids we did everything together! You went every where I went even though sometimes I didn’t want you too! I am so glad you where my little bother and I had you for the first and carefree years. Camping Karate and hanging out with friends you always made us laugh. You used to say everyone loves me and I would say sure Matt! But guess what everyone who meet you did love you💕one of my best memory was the year I went to Florida for my senior year and my friend who was to go with me got sick so my dad said you aren’t going alone so against my will they got you a ticket and off we went. We had so much fun going to the Disney parks until they closed and going back to our grandparents camper each night it was like having our own place! By end of trip I was so glad you came with me so many great memories 🥰 Fast forward many years later you moved with mom and got married and had 2 sons and came to visit a couple times and we Always good times with many laughs. I’m sorry the last couple years we didn’t talk a lot but I was always here. When you did call it was to tell me of a job you got or about the boys and you where so proud and happy when you talked about them! I’m so sorry you couldn’t beat this I prayed you could! But then you got so sick I prayed you would just be free of all the pain and suffering. I know you are up in heaven with grandpa who was waiting for you with a big hug! I promise to remind the boys you loved them and be there for them always. I love you and it’s not good bye it’s only until we meet again! Love your sister ❤️❤️😢😢

    Dear Stepson, You came into my life 25 years ago when I met your Mom, you were in your early 20’s and full of adventure, wonder and excitement. You followed her to Va. Beach in 1998 and after saying ” I want to get out of the auto mechanics business” tried your hand at the restaurant business, that lasted about 2 months when waiting on a large group at Chi-Chi’s for an “all you can eat” night you got nothing for a tip after about a 3 hour dinner, that sent you back to the auto technician business, which always was your best skill. We had a lot of good times during the coming years, you landed good jobs with Saturn and Mazda, married, had 2 great boys (Gavin & Jacey), bought a nice house, had a boat and then your dream came true, playing bass guitar in the band DUBURBIA. It seemed they were some of the happiest years of your life. Fast forward to now, we didn’t know until several years ago of your struggles and addiction, we tried to help you as much as you would let us, but being the proud person you were, you were trying to beat the demons yourself. GOD, in his infinite wisdom saw you were losing the fight and brought you into his Heavenly Kingdom. You’ve left gaping holes in a lot of hearts, especially your Mom’s, but we all know your in a better place, no pain, no demons, no strife, no struggles, as you use to say “NO WORRIES MAN”. Time will cure our pain but we will always have your “good” memories in our hearts. Rest in peace my son ! Leroy

    My early memories of Matt were at Dana and Randy’s house in New Cumberland. Matt was small enough to sit on the heating vent under a coffee table. I remember taking him for pizza at the mall and him telling me he liked hanging out with Uncle Bill. As a teenager when he met Aunt Marti for the first time he loudly exclaimed “Wow! Uncle Bill’s girlfriend is a babe!” I remember when he gave me his Duburbia CD how he beamed with pride. I have very fond memories from his very unique wedding where he introduced us to his friends and band mates. It was easy to see how much they all cared about each other. Although I never saw him preform, I know he loved playing his grandpa’s bass. The last time I saw him was at Kayla’s wedding where his cousin Jess and I sat with Matt and his dad at the reception. He seemed subdued, but man, did he light up when asked about his boys. Rest In Peace nephew. Your pain and suffering are over. The world is a lesser place without you.

    I remember going to watch DUBURBIA play at a young age, and I thought it was so cool! I had a CD that Tyler and I would listen to from time to time, and show our friends. You would bring your family occasionally and come visit from time to time. When I was working at Lifeway, I got you a necklace with a cross on it and you wore that for some time. The last time I saw you was when nanny (Dana) had her accident and we exchanged a few words and I asked how you were doing. I am sorry that you couldn’t make the change we all hoped for. I pray you are resting in the arms of Jesus, and for peace and comfort for all who are hurting from their great loss. I hope you know we all loved you regardless of your struggles.

    I met Ken back when my brother and I first established Sedel & Assoc. Realty and Ken fixed up our first real estate sign. Forty-four years later, we were still utilizing the services of Copeland Sign Co. I could not count the number of times I had to phone Ken to report that he had not sent an invoice. His answer would always be, “I’ll get around to it shortly.” Ken was on top of my list as the one of the greatest persons I’ve ever known. He always had this laid back calmness about him. He was kind, considerate, fair, professional and perhaps the most extraordinary storyteller on this planet. Ken was talented and not just as musician. He just had a way of figuring things out. Ken was my friend and the best of the best. News off his death was shocking and I join his family and so many others who loved and cherished the life he lived. Ken’s memories will always remain in a special place in my heart and his spirit will forever soar throughout the heavens and far beyond the stars.

    So sorry to hear of Roxanne’s passing. We grew up together going to the same school and church. Roxanne and the Taylors lived 3 houses down and across the street from us on Delmar Drive. My Mom and 2 siblings still live in the house and another brother lives across the street from the church. My sincere condolences to Steve, her children and all those who knew her as I did. She was a wonderful person and a good friend

    To the family of Mr. Reggie,
    Mr. Reggie was one of the kindest guys I have ever met. He was always willing to do whatever task was asked of him and he always greeted you with a smile. On days when he worked at our corporate offices, he always carried on a short conversation and made sure to tell you to have a good day. Something so simple as a smile and a kind word can make your day so much better and Mr. Reggie was always that ray of sunshine. I pray for peace for your family in this time.

    Safely Home
    by Author Unknown

    I am home in heaven, dear ones;
    Oh, so happy and so bright.
    There is a perfect joy and beauty
    in this everlasting light.

    All the pain and grief is over,
    every restless tossing passed;
    I am now at peace forever,
    safely home in heaven at last.

    Did you wonder I so calmly
    Trod the valley of the shade?
    Oh, but Jesus’ love illuminated
    Every dark and fearful glade.

    And He came Himself to meet me
    in the way so hard to tread;
    And with Jesus’ arm to lean on
    could I have one doubt or dread?

    Then you must not grieve so sorely,
    for I love you dearly still.
    Try to look beyond death’s shadows;
    Pray to trust our Father’s will.

    There is work still waiting for you,
    so you must not idly stand.
    Do it now, while life remaineth;
    you shall rest in Jesus’ land.

    When that work is all completed,
    He will gently call you home;
    Oh, the rapture of that meeting;
    Oh, the joy to see you come!

    I can’t thank you enough for bringing me into this world. I remember the day we met. You had the love of a mother for her child and we had a very special bond for many years. We laughed, we shared stories. The stories you told were made of legends.

    Im sorry I never had the chance to meet my brothers. I do wish I would have had that opportunity. I’m sure you are with them sharing your stories and in a happy place.

    I’m glad you met your grandkids we shared some fun times from Disney, summer vacation to the holidays. You were and will always be a part of me and I know where my passion, adventuring and connecting with others came from.

    I’m glad I can look back on the good times we shared and will smile and remember those times.
