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
Wow! Resting in peace and without pain. An angel for sure. I will think of you often and will enjoy the memories of our conversations. Butterflies and Pennies. Love and Prayers to all who will miss her.
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.
Leslie, I was so sorry to read of your mom’s passing. I remember how close you were to her. Losing one’s parents is a difficult experience to cope with even though we know that they will not be with us forever. Hold fast to all of your memories. Thinking of you and your family.
To Sandra and Family, We are all deeply saddened for the passing of ‘Aunt Sarah.’ May God continue to comfort the family during this most difficult time. The great memories keep us going forward. In Jesus’ Name, the angels are rejoicing at Sarah’s arrival. Much Love, Sherri Mulkey, Gregory Mulkey & Karen (Mulkey) Staton
Sincerest condolences on the passing of the lovely lady that you and the boys called wife mom. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet her through the years. You two were a wonderful couple.

I am praying that God wraps his loving arms of Peace & Comfort to each one at this difficult time. Dana was an amazing person whom we all loved. Her memories will forever be in our heart & memories….God Bless We love y’all so very much
My heart breaks for this beautiful woman. Dana was an angel on earth to so many and helped more young Mother’s than anyone will ever know. Dana had a smile that would light a room and a side look with those eyes that wouls say it all. She love her boys and all her grandchildren with all her heart. Dana I will miss you my friend … keep all the angels laughing in heaven. Til we meet again BIG MAMA. Prayers to the family
I’m so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I have many memories of him from high school, the swim team, and since. Rachel, Andrew and Jacob we love you and have been keeping you in our prayers.
Your family has been heavy in my thoughts and I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing, as you navigate through this tragic loss. I wish he had more time, but feel confident his adventurous spirit will live on in his sons and with the family as you reflect on memories. Thinking of you all…
Ran with Bill for 12 years during public schools. Spent many many hours playing games and visiting with him at his home. He was a close friend and a good guy. My prayers are with Carol and the kids.
So very sorry to hear of Dana’s passing, she was such a wonderful person,warm,kind,always helping whereever she was needed, and always that wonderful smile & joyful laughter !! R.I.P.Dana, love & prayers to the Family. Grace “Red”
I am so sorry to hear that Cousin Ted has passed. He was just a couple weeks younger than me and a good ‘buddy’ cousin. We had so much fun growing up. He will be missed. Susie
To all of the Mrs. C family My thought and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. I have so many great memories of her. Sending thoughts and prayers to all of you
To the family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss? I pray that Jehovah will give you the strength you need at this difficult time in your lives. She was always ready to answer my many questions, and was a very good friend to me. I will also miss her, but I know all the wonderful memories I have will help to ease the pain of losing my friend. I look forward to seeing her in the paradise that is coming to the earth.
Sincere sympathy to the family on your great loss. Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you (Psalm 55:22). Please know that Joyce is in Jehovah’s memory, and He has not forgotten all the wonderful things she did.
Please know that your family is in my prayers. Joyce was a zealous servant of Jehovah and He will not forget her works. Jehovah is looking forward to the day that He will call and Joyce will answer. Never forget the love Jehovah has for Joyce as we look forward to the day that she will once again be serving Him in the paradise here on earth.
Getting to know Faye was a high point. A funny, loving woman. Enjoyed working with Faye and also being a friend after she retired. Jim was dedicated to Faye and always by her side. Rest In Peace Faye, you deserve it.
My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with him in the school system for many years, and remember fishing with him. What a great guy! Ed Pahl, Norfolk VA
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!
Lee as my friend and Brother. I learned a lot from this rusty old salt. Sweet man and a loyal friend. Lay down your tools, your journey is complete. WELL DONE!
I remember the times Joyce and I worked in the door to door ministry together. She was very calm and mild tempered with her presentations and responses at the doors.
I learned a lot from the field service tips she gave me to better my skills in the ministry.
Jehovah yearns to wake up those sleeping in his memory. I also cannot wait to see her again … when all things will be new. (Revelations 21:5)
My sincerest condolences to the Haughton and Shepard families. Because of the Shepard family, my family learned the truth and for that we are forever grateful.
In our later years, Joyce and I shared our love of gardening and our many memories of raising our kids. Joyce will truly be missed. 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.
While we started out with me as her supervisor, she became a beloved friend and confidante. Wry, sarcastic and funny as hell, you sure knew where you stood with Faye. I wasn’t certain until one morning when she gave me a kiss. To Angie and Jim; my deepest condolences, and I will miss my friend.
My dear brother please accept my condolences to you and your family. I won’t be able to send you the customary chicken and rolls but you are in my thoughts and prayers. When Tamika told me about your wife I was saddened. I know how much you love her and what agreat loss this is for you. Still being at her ressurection is now the focus we must all have. Thank you for the love that you showed for my girls. Stay strong. Numbers 6:24-26. Isa. 30:15.
My heart goes out to the entire Murray family and their friends as they deal with the loss of a truly great man. I grew to know Ray first as a client, but over the last two decades, much more as a treasured friend. God bless Ray and all his loved ones.
I am so saddened to learn of Jerry’s passing. I will never forget the many late nights on the football field and parties afterwards. My condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with the family. We love and miss you all. Big Hugs!! RIP Jerry
Pappaw,
Rest easy now. I will always remember going on bike rides and peanut butter and banana sandwiches. You are loved and missed by allot of people. To the rest of the family, I give my deepest condolences.
What a sweet, godly woman Mrs. Perez was. She treated me, as a young college student, like part of her family, making me always feel at home. Praying the presence and peace of God will flood the hearts and minds of the family and friends she leaves behind.
You will be missed dearly Mrs. Baird. All of your students and former students love you so much and miss you. Thank you for all the laughs and the good times and the memories made in orchestra class. ?
Rest in peace Mrs Baird. You were an amazing orchestra teacher. As a former student, I will miss you deeply. All of your students and former students love you. You will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to all of the family and friends who will miss her so. She was a wonderful colleague and dear friend. I’ve never seen a better math teacher; she worked long and hard to make sure the students succeeded. What an inspiration she was! Susan Miller
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.
Praying for peace to all who love Jim and long to see him again. He touched so many lives, including mine, and will always live through our hearts. We love and miss you Kansas City Jim.
To Brother Haughton and sons: Please accept my deepest sympathy! I draw comfort in knowing her condition is temporary! I have nothing but the best memories of Sis. Haughton. I appreciated the opportunities to get to know her as a person and she proved to be one of the most humble, dignified, reverent and serious-minded persons that impacted my life personally in ways that only Jehovah knows. I plan to continue my conversations with her in the Paradise. May you too draw comfort from that!—Isaiah 26:19.
So sorry for your loss. I remember Vernon very well. He and his wife Norma were very good friends to my Mom and Dad. My memories of Vernon are fond ones as he always had an engaging smile and was super nice to everyone. Prayers of comfort for all the kids and grands! You were lucky to have him. I’m know he will be missed. ?❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to lose someone that is loved so much. My heart goes out to all of you. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and give you peace.
Diane and family:
We loved Marcy very much. We are sorry for your loss. We will miss her and her great smile. There were many good times and memories with the Crusaders Class. She was so faithful in the class. Just think of the reunion she enjoys right now. So many from the class. Blessings to you all.
You will be truly missed by all that knew you. Remembering the times we spent together through your ups and down days but also how strong you were. Never will forget your kindness and how humble you was, praying for the family
I’ve known John since he started with Bell Atlantic we worked together off and on for all those years. I can say that I’ve never met or worked with a finer person. I know your in a better place now.
Jerry brightened all days. His smile, humor, laughter, and pure joy of life was contagious. He was a genuine friend and the most honest person I think I’ve ever met.
His love for God was evident, his love for Wilma immense, his love for his family was unconditional, and his love for friends was apparent.
Steve and I will always love this man, and cherish the memories made with Jerry – forever.
Love to all that knew this wonderful man. I know you need comfort, as we were all blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing him. Our hearts go out to Wilma, their children, and grandchildren. May you find comfort and peace throughout the days to come.
Sorry to hear about Randy. He was my long time wreck and cave diving buddy and I hiked many a mile on the Appalachian Trail with him. I owe him for a lot of reconstruction work he did on my house. Anything i can do for the family, please let me know. I’ll miss him.
Richard Tarr
Dear JoAnn & Mike,
Peggy and I wanted you to know how wonderful the memorial service was last night. It was so nice to see you and your family. It brought back many great memories of our Yale Drive days growing up with each other and our children and also Mike’s & BJ’s wedding. Love, Bruce & Peggy
My dear sweet gramma my heart is hurting so bad right now! You are missed beyond words! I know you are up there watching over all of us now!! I love you so much and I’ll hold onto all my memories until I see you again!
Lori was a beautiful person and full of life.I worked with Lori at a oncology office,she always had a smile on her face,and the patients loved her. That blonde spikey hair and her favorite jacket the Steelers. Lori RIP u will be missed!
Wishing Lori’s loved ones peace during this sad and heartbreaking time. Lori is in a beautiful place full of love and laughter.
Kindly,
Pamela Dean and family
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.
Lori, will be greatly missed. Her Georgia accent, energetic and high-powered personality touched us all. It was a joy traveling to the Eastern Shore with every Monday for three years. We knew each other well. I’m going to miss you my sister. Rest in Heaven until we meet again. Your sister in Christ and friend.
Lori was an instant friend to everyone she come into contact with. She had the biggest heart and cared deeply for her family and friends. I only had the pleasure of being her friend for a few short years but she has left a permanent imprint on my heart. Rest in Peace Friend.
My Dear Aunt Marcie, So far but yet so near! You are missed, the last of the generation. My heart goes out to all…now we must endure…until we all rejoice together.
Jimmy was a friend of mine in college. It was many years ago and my memory has faded, but whenever I picture him, we’re laughing together. Rest easy Jimmy. ♥️
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 so saddened to hear this news. Randy was such a great person, great friend and excellent contractor. We here at Belfor Property Restoration will truly miss him. Our deepest condolences to his wife and family.
You will be deeply missed Uncle John! The kids and I love you and hope you are having fun in heaven with Mom Mom and my Dad! Love you and will miss you forever! Until we meet again!
My sincerest sympathy goes out to the Thompson family. Bob was such a wonderful man. It was such a pleasure to know him and his beloved wife. He greeted me and my husband every Sunday at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. He will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers continue for all of you. Blessed in so many ways to have known Marcel. She is truly an angel and we will miss her. Love you all.
Thinking of all of the Dibbles and Finchers and of Marcel, who was beautiful inside and out, with a gift for laughter, adventure, family, and friends, as well as being an artist and art educator who touched so many lives. I was lucky to be a part of it over the many years, always full of laughter, starting in the early 1980’s in Athens through our last conversation two months ago, She will always be in my heart.
With love and remembrance,
Lauren

Much love to you both, Laurie and Lewis. Mona and I send our condolences on the loss of Uncle Bill, and this extremely late posting. You are in our prayers.
Julie and family,
We are saddened to learn of your mother’s passing. The loss of a parent is so difficult. Praying sweet memories and peace for you.

My sympathy for the Burke Family. It was a pleasure to have know Dave and helped him sell and buy his homes. I am truly sorry for your loss. What a wonderful man!

My father, Larry Rosenthal, was Pete’s cousin. My Dad passed on 3/4/21 also at 82 years old. My father would tell me stories about how he and Pete moved from Galena and rented an apartment in Park Ridge, IL. Dad had so many fond memories of him and Pete living in the suburbs of Chicago. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Dawn, I have just learned of your loss. I am so very sorry as I remember David as a kind, humorous and dependable person. While I have not seen you in some time, it seems like yesterday that you came to work with HLCRE and were such a joy to see each day at our front desk. That, or course, led to your meeting David and the rest is history. The two of you had so many wonderful years together and I am very happy for that. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Bob
A great man that will be missed. This man taught me alot in life on how to be a man and most of the things In life I enjoy. Well never forgot you and already missed those calls.
Barbara and I extend our condolences to Marty and the family. We knew Robert for many years and shared membership at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Robert was an active member of the church and we shared many hours together supporting the church family. We will miss him and his strong support for the church. We know the Good Lord welcomes his talent and strong support for Jesus Christ.
Sorry for the loss. John was a amazing friend to us. We will always remember the good times that we had with him. He always was there to help out or just to talk with. He had became part of our family and was like a brother to me. RIP John, until we meet again.
My dear friend of 45 years I will miss you. All the great times we had together I will always cherish those memories from swimming at big orange country to skiing out west and everything in between there are so so many. I’ll never forget you. See you on the other side
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 am indeed saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was a spiritual leader for the PRC gang that I was privileged to serve on. The world is,indeed, a darker place today.
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.
I am another golfing buddy of Steve’s, fortunate to have known him. Steve was a good kind hearted guy, and all of his ‘Us Boys’ golf buddies share in your sorrow. As Steve would do, with love and friendship, please accept our deepest condolences.
Alice and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mike. What a wonderful person. His videos will always be a part of our lives. His kindness and smile will always be remembered. My heart hurts for your loss.
You are in our thoughts and prayers, forever.
Love,

To the family of Mr. Fred Whitaker, I would like to send my condolences and thank you for sharing your love one . He was a awesome man who would put a smile on your face when you was feeling down and out.He would grab his Bible and began to share the word . I pray that God comfort you and strengthen you in your weakest moments. Thinking of you. Adrian
I know there are no words that provide the comfort you need right now; just know that I care. My condolences to your family on the loss of your dear brother.
My prayers and condolences go out to Steve’s family. As ponder over all the good times we had on the golf course and the friendship that we shared, Steve is truly missed. Our Myrtle Beach Trip will never be the same without that rustic 7-Wood…!!! Rest in Peace my Brother Steve.
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.
I have fond memories of Jackie from our many shared experiences at Unity Renaissance and Alex Then”s Healing Circles. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say to everyone. I was saddened to hear of her passing. My heart goes out to Judy and all of her family. Her light still shines.
My brother, death may have taken you away from this physical soil, but I will not let time fade the memories of you. So rest well, and I pray that you are in peace. Glory to God! Amen!
Willis, today I learned of your passing. I remember the bicycle rides and wrecks. The cigars and the tall tales..and all of the fun we had. I remember how we became fast friends, argued, and laughed. You were a great friend and I will always remember you. Sleep well and rest easy 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.
My heart breaks for the loss of Steve and for his family. I always felt he was family to me. May God wrap His arms around each of you and keep you in His care.
You gave me the most wonderful life I could ever imagine and it will be forever changed without you. Your love and memories will carry me until we are together again. You are with our son Chris and I know y’all are looking over us. I promise you I’ll be ok. It may take me awhile but I’ll get there. Love you forever.
Dear Alice,
I am so saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. I have such fond memories of our adventures together. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Debbie
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”…
To my Friend Kurzee and her Family,
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!.
It was a pleasure to get to know Mike. His commitment to doing good was one thing I admired most about him. Having him on my plunge team was an honor. I always knew that with the Alice and Mike team, I didn’t need to worry, all was under control. My heart aches for you.
May God grant you always…
a sunbeam to warm you,
a moonbeam to charm you,
a sheltering Angel
so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you,
faithful friends near you,
and whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.
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.
Dear Melanie,
I am so sorry for the loss of Kent in 2015. I know this condolence is out of the blue, but I have been searching for some time for him and his family. It saddens me that I’m too late. I pray that my message finds you at peace and doing well.
My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your mom I am sending to you,Kathleen,Donald, and John, may the Lord bring you peace during this sad time.Dear Aunt Noreen may you rest in peace. I will miss you always and I am so thankful for my sweet memories of you,our many talks about books,poetry,philosophy and our shared love of nature and the earth,and the lost art of letter writing, I will love you always, Victoria
I am Uncle Cecil’s daughter.
I am so very sad to learn of her passing.
I had lost touch with her, and thought about her frequently.
Much love to all of your family.
Gone too soon but never to be forgotten. My dear friend and neighbor, you saw the world in such a unique and valuable way. And you taught me so much. Lakeside seems empty without you.
Cousins,
We are so sorry for your loss. Noreen was a very special lady and will be missed. We all have another angel looking down on us.
XoXo,
Vince, Angela, Dominic & Natalie Contini
We moved into the house next door to the Shoemaker’s in 1969… Ms. Shoemaker was ALWAYS so very nice to me growing up and in later years. It is so sad to here about this and my prayers are with the family… Rest In Peace Ms. Shoemaker… a very special person is now in heaven and will no longer suffer…
I am so sorry for the Shumaker’s loss.your wife and mom was definitely a strong willed woman, she spoke her mind for sure. She loved her boys, nothing could come between her and her sons. They would argue hard in the day and she would turn around make them some good dinners & a six pack of budweiser. I do miss her laugh she was tough. I really feel sad for her husband, they were so different in personality but loved each other dearly. Love you all, Lisa Ricketts
Sincere condolences. I just didn’t know. Scotty was a good hearted friend when I lived in the neighborhood. Edie, I am so sorry to hear. Much love to you all.
Lois was as sweet and caring as she was strong. She was such a joy to work with and have as a friend. I could always talk with her about work and my personal life. She was always encouraging and made you feel like you had a strong supporter. Her strength over the last several years has been inspiring. When we would talk on the phone, she was always cheerful despite the struggles. I will cherish her friendship.
My prayers go out to the family for the loss of an awesome mother and grandmother. You probably already know this, but she was well loved.
Dear Friend Ann,
My heart aches for you with Bill’s passing to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
May his life be eternal and may our precious Lord bring you peace.
Love and Blessings , Nell and Wayne

I am very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing.
I have known him since our days at Warwick High School, although since then I only saw him at class reunions. Steve excelled in academics, sports, and was well-liked by his peers.
I extend my deepest sympathies to his family and to those who loved him.
I hope that warm memories of time spent with Steve bring them comfort and peace.
Sincerely,
Jane (Renn) Eadie
Judy was such an energetic, caring presence at Star of the Sea school when Jim and her children attended the school. I remember working with her when I taught Patricia and Lisa. May her family find consolation in knowing how highly she was regarded and respected by other parents and teachers during those years. A woman of deep faith, she guided her children by her unassuming yet constant following of the Lord.
Phyllis,
Sending our heartfelt condolences for your loss.
We remember Lenny’s wry humor, good nature and excellence in medicine, and always think of him whenever we pass by your old house in Middle Plantation.
Lenny touched the lives of many, and is surely missed.
Rick and Lois
I am so glad that I had the privilege to work with Dr. Dunford in the Minor Care at Sentara Bayside and Princess Anne. I learned a lot from him and enjoyed all the great stories he used to tell us about his past as a Doctor. He always treated his Patients with kindness and especially the Children making sure they had a sticker before they left the ER. To the Family I am deeply sorry for your loss and God Bless all of you. Dr. D may you Rest In Peace.
I had the honor of serving under then Commander Bob Byng in Attack Squadron 34, stationed at Naval Air Station, Oceana Virginia. I was a squadron pilot and enjoyed the quiet yet firm leadership he exhibited. He had a way of extracting the best performance from his aircrews and squadron personnel without being harsh or demanding. His leadership set an example for me as I progressed in my career. Captain Byng will be missed.

TELL ALL OUR SISTERS AND DICKIE AND OF COURSE MOM AND DAD HOW VERY MUCH I LOVE THEM AND MISS ALL OF THEM..ITS ONLY ME LEFT.SAVE ME A SEAT AT THE BLESSED TABLE.LOVE FOREVER YOUR BABY SISTER …MARILYN
I will miss Flo so much. She had a great listening ear. We shared our family joys and sorrows through the years. She loved her family dearly and talked about them often. She also loved her students and was the one who could calm any of them who needed some understanding. She was an extremely hard worker who never complained about any task set before her. She was great at her job and it was an honor to work with her. She enjoyed singing and had a beautiful voice. She always greeted everyone with a smile whether they deserved it or not. I will always remember her and our friendship. Her loss has left a hole in my heart.
“Lenny” was one of my early mentors and a true friend , personable, always congenial and light-hearted, first met him in Richmond at VACEP meeting, became good friends, then partners in lengthy career in emergency medicine with E.P.T.. I will always have fond memories of our friendship and work related stories.
I have known Steve and his whole family most of my life. Our parents new each other before we were born. We only lived a couple of blocks from each other growing up and we spent a lot of time playing a lot of neighborhood sports and other activities together. Steve was a great friend and as nice a person as you would ever know. He will be missed.
Bill was a wonderful man who taught me a bunch when it came to Amateur Radio. He was a top notch technical expert in his field and was always available for advice with his vast knowledge. We in the Williamsburg Area Amateur Radio Club will miss him dearly. Farewell Bill NR4C SK
I was saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. I have worked with Bill in NASA Spectrum Management for over 10 years and he has always been the consummate professional, dedicated NASA Spectrum contributor, and a friendly person. He has always been helpful to anyone who sought his knowledge and vast experience. Bill’s presence will be missed, but his memory will live on. May God bless his family, friends, and loved ones and provide comfort to them in these difficult days.
Bill was always quite a character with his quirky sense of humor. I do remember the black and white photography he did. He took a picture of me years ago and I have to say it was really good. We will miss you,
Hi folks – Although I suspected Marcia didn’t have much time left, I never expected her demise would have happened so soon. My husband also suffered from lymphoma and died within a few months of diagnosis just last year.
Marcia was a treasured volunteer at Seconds Unlimited for years. Up until my retirement in 2019, she continued to work to the best of her ability.
I’ll always miss Noreen. We had been friends since early 70’s. Hiking, walking, visits and phone calls. She was ALWAYS easy to be with. We had many laughs, teas and remembrances. She’d simply drop by and make herself comfortable. Food and beds made no difference to her, it was the company she would seek. And, Thanks to John, we got to see each other one last time here in MA. at the Concord Inn. YOUR presence will be MISSED, my dear Noreen. Love you forever and ever, Nora
I’m so sorry to hear of Dr. D’s passing. I always enjoyed working with him. I always loved arriving at work to see that he and I would be teaming up to run the minor care section. I knew our patients would be well-taken care of and in a timely manner. He was wise and witty. And boy, was he proud of his kids. My thoughts are with Dr. Bragg and the rest of the family. May you soon find comfort in the good memories. ❤️
I will always will remember Aunt Noreen. She was a free spirit in her time, always loving and caring to everyone. My fondest memory is visiting her and cousins Don, John and Kathleen when we were young adults. She opened her house to me and my wife and showed us a wonderful time during our visit with her.
During her visits it’s my Mom she always asked about the people in our lives and how they were doing; always expressing love and concern to everyone. She will be deeply missed.
Family thinks he was divorced when he died, because he lied to them. I’m still actively his surviving spouse. No paperwork was ever filed on either of our behalf.
Extending our condolences.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls
of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
Praying for comfort and peace for our Elopre family. You are loved and missed by many, Uncle Gordy. May you find everlasting peace and happiness, rejoicing in Heaven, as you are no longer suffering, and instead, finally reunited with cousin Lilet and Lolo & Lola.
Extending heartfelt sympathy on behalf of Intrepid Hospice. Thanking you for allowing us to be a part of Mr. Neal’s care team and know that each of you are in our prayers and in our hearts.
Our deepest condolences to Daphne and family on the loss of your Beloved Mark. He will be remembered and sorely missed by many. May the good LORD provide you with comfort and strength now and always.
Brent and Stacey, just wanted to say I’m sorry for your loss. Love and prayers sent to you both and to your family. May he forever Rest In Peace. Love yall
I first met Steve when he was an account executive at CBN and I was a very young media buyer at my dad’s ad agency. When he became a commercial photographer I was fortunate to work with him on numerous projects. He had such a quiet, but confident demeanor about him. I knew of his illness when he was diagnosed and missed getting to work with him very much. My condolences go out to his family.
If you left here without a goodbye it makes my heart sad. I am so sorry…I didn’t even know. To Janet’s family….I pray the grace of God keeps you and has kept you. Janet was a blessing and great spirit to be around. She was a fireball before her stroke and kept us all on our toes. She will be missed. Know that she a special person that will never be forgotten.
Mike was a sweet man! He will be truly missed. I appreciate his dedicated service to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Prayers to Alice and family and friends.
So sorry to hear about Bill. We hadn’t crossed paths in many years, but he was a great friend of my Dad’s and our family when I was a teenager. I still have some B&W pictures that Bill took of me and my sister when we were in high school. He will be missed.
Joe and I shared many memorable events with Bill. It was always a fun and informational experience. He will be greatly missed. May God be with you and your family and help you to move forward in life remembering all the good times.
Joy (W2JMS), Elizabeth (KJ4CYD, and Tyler (KK4AUS)
May she rest in peace, She was a very brave persons and earned the admiration of many. Despite surgeries she continued on with her daily life, I am proud to call her a friend and send my prayers to her loved ones. She was a dear friend.
Max, So sorry to hear about the passing of Rosie. May her love and many good memories be with you always. Sincere condolences to your entire family. Lulu
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to ate Cyd and family for the loss of Engr.Gordy.Rest in Peace “Kuya Gordy”.Engr.Gordy is a very humble man,a man of few words,a good leader to our fellow OFW in Al Khafji ,Saudi Arabia and a good friend.Thank you for the memories wayback our stay in Khafji Saudi Arabia.
Chris was the best coworker. He knew we both got excited by technology, using Sketchup and fast computers. He took all news, good and bad, with grace and was a pleasure to work with. Rest In Peace, friend.
I only had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Ramey only once or twice but that was all the time needed to know she was a wonderful person. She was blessed with a wonderful and caring family.
Mary loved her family. Was an example of leadership for her many friends in the Republican Party. Over the years we shared a lot of laughs and a few tears. I will miss her
Mary was one of the kindest women I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. She was always so good to me and my family. She will be truly missed.
RIP Mary, you are home.
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 ?????????
We are so sorry for your family’s loss. I remember Martina as kind and funny. She took me along on a part-time job catering in Virginia Beach and I got to know her better. What I remember is how much she loved her family.
I am so sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. She was a wonderful and beautiful lady and was always kind and thoughtful to every one. It has been a long time since I have seen her. I now live in Texas.I will always remember her as a kind and gentle lady.
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.
Mary

Bob and I were so saddened to learn of Mary’s passing. Her friendship meant a great deal to both of us and we cherished the infrequent times that we could get together. Our yearly trips to VA Beach would not have been the same without our annual lunch at Bubba’s. Mary was a lady in every sense of the word. Her infectious laugh and her good council were very welcome. We will miss her and remember her fondly. Our hearth felt sympathy goes out to all of her family. We loved her as a dear friend and are so glad we got to meet her children and grandchildren.
Laura, Kathleen, Robert and Family, Thinking of you. Praying God will provide peace and comfort to each of you during this difficult time and for the days to come. Love, Juanita
BOB CHOYNACKI I miss you this Easter I think about you all the time in my heart I have you with me all the time till we meet again fly high with the angels my love love always Faye….?
Noreen and I met as neighbors in the late 60’s. She was a kind, intelligent, free spirited longtime friend. She introduced me to hosteling on a trip to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in the 80’s. It was a wonderful experience and a lot of fun. She will always be remembered.
To Tanna’s dear ones,
Condolences from all of us at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. We were terribly saddened to hear of Tanna’s passing. Those of us who were here when Tanna was a member of our team remember her with fondness. She has left the world too soon and we send our deepest sympathy.
Claire Schopen and Family,
May The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit honor the family with His continued presence as you mourn the loss of Joe. We, at The Chamberlin share your pain.
Gloria Pressley and Darrell Broach
It is said that time heals all wounds; It’s not time, it’s love. I pray our God, the God of the greatest love, heals your broken hearts.
Charlie was a one of a kind, all round great person.
My deepest sympathies to you all, the family he loved and adored.
Suzie Werman
Our deepest and most respectful condolences. So many hearts and lives were touched through her service to others. Seeds of love have been sown and have bloomed through her family and friends. Her influence and devotion to Jesus now lives on through them to touch thousands more. From the Lanier’s to the Tung’s, Our love and prayers are with you all.
Nancy and I were classmates at NCHS. I remember her being very popular in school. After many years, we reconnected planning high school reunions and Red Hat Society chapter, which Nancy loved so much. She is admired for her bravery and determination during her adult life with a dreaded disability. Always smiling and upbeat, she will be remembered for her sunny disposition. May she rest in peace.
I will break the ice ……. thank you for the companionship, early morning talks and treats, belly rubs, and getting me hooked on tuna. My life hit the jackpot when you finally let me in the door and laid down ground rules (a story many have heard, no doubt). Miss ya bud
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.
Chris and Colanne Schwemlein
I just found out about Richard’s passing and am so sorry for your loss. I waited on the retirees group at Golden Corral for years and always looked forward to seeing everyone each month, especially Richard, Connie and Mom. They kindly invited me to their picnics and made me feel at home, even letting me win at bingo. You will be missed – my thoughts and prayers to your loved ones.
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.
Steven and Brian, we send our sympathies for the loss of your Mother. You were blessed to have such a caring lady to call Mother. Our prayers are with you.
Warmest thoughts and prayers to the family. I was looking forward to meeting you, Irene.. he spoke so highly of you. I am heartbroken.. I was seeing Don and we shared something very special. I just knew when I didn’t hear back from his morning message that something happened. You are forever in my heart, Don.. I will miss you more than words can say. You touched my life and showed me how love really feels. I love you and I’ll miss you dearly.
Tommy, Becky, and Timmy,
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your mom’s life. I shared a lot of love and laughs with her, and she will always be a light in my heart.
My all of you carry your memories of your Mom forever.
We miss Pat dearly. Our heartfelt sympathy to the family at this trying time. We had many great times with Pat over many years. Now we know he has taken up residence with another friend, Our Lord!
The sweetest woman ever she was very dear to me! my mom says I took my first steps as a baby in her house. I will never forget how she loved others as Jesus loves us. God bless all the family. Love you Auntie?
Love,Molly
I love you Danny and miss you so much. I still can’t believe it and it hurts so bad to know that I can’t talk or see you again. I will cherish your memory and you were the best uncle danny for madisen , tristen, and brayden. I love you sooo much little “big” bro and I will see you again. Take care of Jaxsen for me up there. I know you were welcomed up there by nana and grandaddy and sean…its amazing to know how many people loved you here…Love your sis Melanie….aka grandma mom as you called me
Sarah, Kansas and Kelly, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad. I know how much you all loved him, and I know you all meant everything to him. You each carry a little piece of him with you always.
Extending my heartfelt condolences, Martina will hold a place in my memories.
A great friend and mentor, served the students of Tidewater Park Elementary in a loving caring manner. We shared that love of reading and family.
Keeping the family in prayer. May God continue to hold you high, find comfort in the memories.
My deepest sympathies go out to Kim and family. Ronnie was very special to me. We worked together for over 40 years and played a lot of golf and softball games. Ronnie was a very impressive athlete excelling in basketball, golf and baseball and had one of the best throwing arms I’ve ever seen. We had lots of plans to play golf on our retirement and every time I play Ronnie will be in my heart.
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.
I haven’t had the opportunity to meet Ronald, but from what Abby has told me, he sounded like an amazing and caring father. My thoughts go out to the family.
Courtney, Cameron and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a srong woman and a very loving and caring mom and grandmother. She was so proud of all of you. I wish she had let us know she was not doing well but I also understand it. She will be missed by us all. My prayers are with all of you. Cherish your memories.
Dear Dave, Dan, Ted and family; I was so very sorry to read in the paper about your mom. I remember as children playing at each others homes. 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.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you go through these next sad weeks and months ahead. I pray The Lord will surround you all with His loving arms during this time.
Thinking of you all.
Much love.
Billie Carter Wyatt
Donnie……I mean, ahem…… Don! Boy am I going to miss our long talks. I’m going to miss your advice! I’m going to miss your encouragement! You were an awesome cousin, and we were definitely related, somethings only funny to us, and probably would have had us admitted into the psych ward if folks heard that humor!
I’m going to miss you, and I look forward to seeing you again! It’s not goodbye, it’s see ya later, gator! You we’re definitely one of a kind!
My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and other side of the family that I have never met! We all must carry on and tease each other as Donnie teased us!
I’m so very sorry for your loss and another loss in our family. Though it doesn’t replace the physical presence of his love at least he’s with our Lord and other family members and will now be at rest.
I have known Ron for many years at NNS. He became my manager a few years ago. I had much respect for his work ethic. I have certainly missed his presence in the office. My prayers are being offered to his wife and family and my sincerest condolences.
Thank you Pat for being my friend and brother! You will be so missed! I pray that family and friends find comfort and peace in knowing Pat is with God and that we will all see him again! Love to all!
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time. Hoping you find peace and comfort in your memories and with family. Amy Miller and Jared Norton
So sorry to hear of Jimmy passing. We grew up in Country Place in Green Run. Always liked hanging out and riding motorcycles when we were kids. Thoughts and prayers to all the family.
I’m sorry to hear of Pat passing away. He will truly be missed tremendously by so many. RIP my eagle brother. Fly high with the angels. Sending prayers and hugs and much love you.
To the Norton family. Margi and I are so sorry for your loss. I will always consider Ron a friend from my days at the shipyard. He fought the fight and now he is in a better place. He will watch over his family from above. RIP my friend.
I am sorry for Thelma’s kids, she was a great lady, taught me so much about life , cooking, that was just a little she taught me , I will miss you , RIP With Ben you hubby
Timmy Cathy and Becky
Our hearts and prayers are with you
You have been a big part of our life and understand how you feel
Love Ed ( Shorty ) and Glenda
Ron was an amazing man to work with, always quick to offer his assistance and provide a laugh when needed. He will be missed, truly. We offer your family and friends our thoughts and prayers for hope and healing…
My condolences to Ron’s family for your loss. Ron and I worked together for many years. He was always a great guy to work with and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and may he rest in peace. Kelly Brown
Our condolences go out to Patti and grandchildren on the loss of your Dad and grandfather. “Pat” and I hung out for many years along with “ Jules”, we had the best times together. Rest In Peace brother.
My family had the pleasure of knowing Buster for years starting when he worked at Patriot Chev in Williamsburg as a bodyman with Eddie English; they also had a shop together, he said Buster taught him everything he new and that he was the best in Williamsburg. We have a lot of good memories (including him washing and shinning up whatever car he had at the time). So very sorry for your loss
My deepest sympathies to Kim and family during this difficult time. I have known Ron for many years as a coworker at NNS of both mine and my husband’s, Max Baer. They also played softball and golfed together and Ron was there for Max during his last days. Whether it was at work or play, Ron always had a strong determination to succeed and the preservance to make it happen. I’m sure that served him well in this last and toughest battle. I will always remember him fondly for his help in taking Max to his chemo treatments and the unwavering friendship and support he gave him during those tough times.
Hugs and prayers for Marsha and family Mr Buster was such a sweet man It was a.honor to know him he was very special to me and my family We loved him and he will be missed We will cherish the memories we had with him. Rest in.peace Mr Buster we love you
I can’t tell you how much Uncle Buster meant to me. We shared a very special bond together. He has been in my life since the day that I was born. Now he’s gone but I know where to find him he is in my heart. Buffy I can’t begin to understand how you are handling this. I wish I could reach out and give you a hug but don’t ever forget how much he loved you and the same as me look to your heart.
We were neighbors on West Kingston Lane 40 years ago. Auntie and Uncle Ben watched our two older children Jeff and Jenny when I worked evenings at Norfolk General. My husband Ray was usually away with the Navy. Jeff remembers the butterscotch candies Ben always had and Jen remembers going to the hairdresser with Auntie and Becky’s wedding. Both agreed she was the very best cook. Ben and Thelma were the best caring for the kids with love and kindness.
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. ♥️
My deepest sympathies to Bryan, Sharyn and all of Flo’s family. Flo was a friend, neighbor and (for a while) roommate to me. Though we had not been close for many years, she walked with me through some tough times. Today, I remember her fondly and with deep gratitude for her friendship. Bless you all.
I was sorry to hear of Fred’s death. As an Interim Pastor for the presbytery, I was active in the biblical storytellers group with Fred as the convener.. I enjoyed “telling” with Fred & others at churches & nursing facilities. I was also the Interim at Coleman Place after Fred retired. Fred was a friend & I will always remember him with fondness. May God uphold you & the rest of the family in your time of remembrance & grief. Christ’s love & comfort be with you. Robin Wooddell
The news of Fred’s passing saddens me deeply. I knew him through his long relationship with the Network of Biblical Storytellers. Fred’s greeting and bear hug were always eagerly anticipated. 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.
Pat, I will miss your words of welcome at the club and the good times we shared at the special corner of the bar. You always encouraged me to do my best as an Auxiliary member, and I appreciate that. Keith will never forget the ranting you and Bob Frietag did every time he came to the Eagles club – you made him laugh always! One last Cheers to you, Pat!
Irwin, Marjorie,Benjamin, and all the family,
Greg and I are so very sorry for your loss. We also feel a great loss with the Janna’s passing.
Peace be with you all
Love ,
Maggie and Greg Polites
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 rememder every day at school after lunch when u would hug me and i would feel safe , warmth , love and i knew that was one of my most favorite things and i wish i could feel that from u one more time i love u uncle mahal kita ❤️
William,
I don’t know you personally but Sarah always speaks highly of you. When she told us how ill your wife was my heart ached for you. I can tell from your tribute what a wonderful person she was and how much you loved her.
God’s blessings and prayers for you and your family. Prayers for your continued recovery.
I spent alot of time with you. Home, Dr. Office, Traveling. We always had fun in the Sun. Florida, Virginia, New York, North Carolina. Casinos in Atlantic City & Boardwalk. Those Memories are Forevered Cherished. Your Last, Girl Standing! Makeda & Preston Lindsey
I was very saddened to hear of Sherise’s passing. I remember when she was born and some of her childhood. I am asking Divine comfort for Myra and her family.
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.
Pat Walsh
She was always a lady by the “Golden Rule”. Unmatched class, and the sweetest lady I’ve ever known! She has left a beautiful legacy, and will be deeply missed.
Donna, KeShara, Erika & The Metropolitan Family on
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.
Tommy, Becky, Timmy, And family, so many fond memories of growing up in the Thompson clan and Aunt Thelma and Uncle Ben were a wonderful and important part of the family. We still miss Uncle Ben and now Aunt Thelma has gone to be with him and their savior, Jesus christ. We hope to see them all in heaven and have a Thompson family reunion with Jesus! It will be rowdy of course and I don’t think Jesus Will mind. Sending you hugs and love and praying for your comfort in this time. Love you all, Sarah Ellon
Nicole was so dear to so many who loved her. I am thankful for her presence in my life and so many memories together. So much love to the Roberts family who always loved me so well.
David was a wonderful friend during my teenage years in the Oaklette neighborhood along Indian River Road in Chesapeake, VA during the mid 1950’s through the 1960’s. He had a very talented mind and like all of our close friends, a never ending interest in technology. I knew his family and cherish our memories in High School at Great Bridge. May the Grace of God be with him, his wife Jackie, his children and grandchildren and his siblings. David, you shall remain in my heart and mind for the rest of my life.
Thank you Memaw for the honor of being part of yours and Popus’ life. You accepted me into the family as your own. I will always treasure the memories of Thanksgiving when you made me that awesome lemon cake. 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.
Julie supported our Museum Human Resource needs with a smile and earnest professionalism. She created a wonderful team building afternoon, her leadership was joyful, patient and generous. Julie is dearly missed. Our deepest sympathy to your family.
We are so sorry for the family’s loss, yet thankful that Nicole is once again whole and free from the pain of her disease. Nicole took care of my children when they were small. As my wife Debie often notes in her anecdotes, I was “at sea” when she needed help. Luckily Nicole was there to lend a hand. We are so lucky to have known such a beautiful person.
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.
June was the most stylish, lovely, classiest woman I ever met. A true angel that blessed Earth with her presence and has now made Heaven even more beautiful.
All of us here at Bacon Street are so sad to hear of Julie’s passing. While we didn’t know her for very long, we are grateful we had the time we had with her.
Thank you for your service to our country, and special thanks for producing your great son Jim who is one of the best, most professional officers and now government civilians I’ve known! Sheila and I send our sincere condolences to the Sposato family!
Prayers of comfort to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sherice was a great mentor and friend when we worked together. She always had kind words of encouragement and a beautiful smile. When I was interim Manager, she would come to my office every morning to make sure I was prepared for the day. She even brought coffee. I will always remember her kind spirit and thoughtfulness. God bless you all during your time of bereavement.
Julie was a wonderful advocate for all the employees she interacted with. May peace be with you and your family as you celebrate her extraordinary life. Take care!
William, what a wonderful remembrance you wrote for Julie, she sounds like a wonderful person. It brought tears to my eyes.
I am so sorry for your loss and will continue to pray for you.
If I can be of help in any way please let me know.
Kay
Growing up across the street from you, I always thought of you as “MY babysitter,” as if there may be other people who might care for me in my parents’ absence, but you held a place of honor because you were “MY babysitter.” Thanks for the happy memories, Nicole. And thanks for taking care of me. We will remember you with love.
To the Suggs Family, Wishing you the light of God’s love, the warmth of God’s blessings, and the comfort of God healing.Amen. Mrs.Suggs had the biggest and warmest smile and she will surely be missed. Be strong and keep the faith.God is ABLE. We love you.Calvin Taylor and Family.
I am so sorry about Brenda’s passing. She was my sister’s (Sue Pearce) best friend from high school. They shared a long lasting friendship. I remember Brenda very well and I remember her as a sweet soul that always have a smile on her face. My prayers for you and your family
Barbara Pearce Fox
I am so sorry to here of Vernon’s passing please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the family. I have many fond memories of Vernon and Aunt Vera growing up and especially when they lived with us. Unfortunately over the years we only saw each other on rare occasions. I am so sorry but I am going to be out of town and will not be able to attend her service on May1st.
Brenda was such a wonderful person and so special to our family. She treated us like her family and took such good care of us. She was always thoughtful about the kids and what they were doing and seemed as proud as we were! Every Christmas she brought us some homemade goody. Chip always says her Pimento Cheese was the best he ever had. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
This breaks my heart to hear of his passing. He was a very good friend to me and we talked a lot when we were both having bad days.. He was very Special to me and I will never forget him..
Rest in peace my friend, now you have your LOVE there with you forever
Mrs. Brenda was an amazing person. She was always so kind to my family. Although I only knew her for a short time, she made a memorable impact on my life. She was truly a beautiful human being. I wish peace and love for her entire family. Rest In Peace.
Your faith in God and the amount of love you showed everyone will forever be in my heart. I don’t think there was a mean bone in your body. I’ll miss your smile and your infectious laugh. I love you ❤️
Deepest sympathy to the family and friends. I met Brenda when we worked at Avon Fashions. I will never forget the day that she received the phone call that they had a baby for her, I took that call and I was really excited for her. The last time I saw Brenda after many, many years was at the Farm Fresh in Smithfield she hadn’t changed a bit, she was just as nice as she was when I worked with her. She will be missed!
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.
My sincerest sympathies to Brenda’s family. I have many wonderful, warm memories of Brenda. We worked together for many years at Avon. Brenda was a very kind and generous person. May she rest in peace.
Julita, mi amor, te fuisteis tan pronto. Descansa en paz, te quiero mucho, mi querida hija, no es un adiós, es un hasta luego. Besos y abrazos de tu mami que te adora mucho.
Sherice was my first nursing manager. She encouraged me all the way through school and taught me how to maintain a healing environment for my patients. She was a caring soul and will be dearly missed. Prayers for peace and comfort to her loved ones❤
Brother Ralph, Brad, Megan, and all of Suggs family,
We were so sorry to hear about Sister Brenda’s passing. We love your family and always missed fellowshipping with you at Peninsula. We rest in the promise that we shall see Brenda again. In the presence of the Lord, She no longer suffers any pain or suffering.
Brother Ralph, you and all the family are in our prayers. God Bless.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Me and my family would like to offer our deepest and most sincere condolences to your family and may her precious soul rest in peace.
Judy and family,
Thinking of Frank brings such good memories. Thinking of Frank with you Judy, brings even more. You touched all of us, the two of you together, a perfect match. Our thoughts are with you and the happiness you showed us what it means to be in love.
Sincerely, The Iorizzo Family
We’re so sorry for your loss. Mary Louise was such a lovely person. She was always kind and gracious to everyone she met. We enjoyed her stories and time shared very much. Rest in comfort sweet Mary Louise.
Beloved Sarah. How I wish I had picked up the phone last week when you popped into my thoughts…. I’m certain you are in Heaven with your beloved son and dear mother. I remember you were at my house when you got the terrible news about Tony. I will miss just knowing you are there – one of the few people in this world who always sees good in everybody. We all love you, Sarah. .JENNIFER, MIKE & PHILLIP
Jim was a wonderful neighbor. Often I would see him walking a dog with a smile on his face. At his request I will hug my dog.
My sympathy to the family for their loss!
Was sorry to read of Vi passing. She was a wonderful lady. My mother Theresa Thurston , and I considered her a wonderful friend. Prayers of comfort to her family.
To the family: I am sending my deepest condolences for the passing of our Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated line sister (Lambda Eta, Spring ‘91) and my college roommate. We had such great and memorable times at our home away from home at ODU. She will be deeply missed. “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”
❤️? Love you forever, Sherice! Rest now.❤️?
We are so sorry to learn of the passing of your beloved husband, Frank. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. May God’s love comfort all of you during this sad time.
Frank had a gift of making you feel better when you were in his presence
He could be having a bad but you would never know, always a smile and
he was glad to see you, so your bad day was gone…you walked away with
a smile
Staci, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how hard this time is for you and your family. Please know that I’m here for you if you need anything. He will forever be in your thoughts and the love you have for him will always be in your heart. As days go by you will see simple things that will remind you of him — just know these simple things are his way of letting you know — he’s never far away. Hugs and Love.
The Williams family always made me feel welcomed and treated me like a daughter. There are so many fun memories like when he would pick us up from a concert and take us to Shoney’s to eat soup and salad. Irwin’s pharmacy where he would sit at the soda bar and talk and everyone knew who was. He was friends with everyone. Johnny really did teach us to enjoy the little things in life. Praying for peace and comfort for all of his family and friends.
Bill was just one of a kind! Bill would be the only older sibling who would talk to us seriously about anything, then laugh and carry on with us! What a joy to run into him at VT and catch up on all the happenings in the family and his new educational adventures! The last time we saw him was at Rick’s retirement ceremony and he, like us scooted away before the fanfare-crowds weren’t usually our thing. He was such a brilliant man, funny, and always knew something to say(brilliantly witty!). Whoever wrote this obituary hit the nail on the head, beautifully written-he will be so missed! Love and hugs to all the family, God be will you!??❤️❤️
Mr. Johnny is the dad of my life long best friend and I will always remember him as a great father. He was very thoughtful and was always so nice to me. He will be sorely missed by his entire family. My prayers are with you all.
Mr. Williams was a great storyteller. I always enjoyed chatting with him. I was fortunate to be able to join Todd and his Dad for breakfast a few times. Always entertaining and it was plain to see how much of a bond they shared. Mr. Williams will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
Judy, I feel your pain. Your loss is so fresh and you are going to have many days of deep grief. I have walked this path. Remember all the memories you and Frank shared which will always be deep in your heart. I will keep you in my prayers for healing. ????
There are so many stories to remember my heart goes out to you Linda, Todd and Stacy. He was one of the best bosses I’ve ever worked for. He will be missed. My condolences to the whole family.
This is a picture of the Kregers and the Fairers at Virginia Beach when Betty and I were really young. I am sad she has passed. I will really miss her. I am glad I spoke to her very recently. She was always happy when we talked on the phone and I enjoyed being with her at the Tuesday luncheons.
Kajs, My deepest sympathy to you on Jim’s passing. I had only just heard of the debilitating disease he had. What a light he was in the lives of everyone who knew him. It may be years since we’ve shared space, but I’ve always had warm thoughts whenever I’ve thought of both of you. I particularly recall his beer, his smile — and seeing your speed walking over the roads. God bless. Karen
Dear Irwin:
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have many memories stored in my heart of Janna and
her stellar qualities and am grateful to have had the
Pleasure of her friendship.

It was very sad that Johnny and I did not remain close over the years. Johnny touched many lives over the years. I am certain he will be missed and many friends and family. Johnny always meant so much to me.
You might’ve been my grandad but i always looked at you as my father, you were the best friend I’ll ever have. I’ll always cherish all of our breakfast dates, dancing in the car, and four wheeler rides back in the day. We had a bond like no other, and used to just run away to the beach house to get away from it all, if only we could do that now. I love you eternally pawpaw, love your punk.
We worked together and talked a lot when I was at Branscome, 12 pack was a fun guy to work with, I will see you on the other side brother and I will never forget you. Rust Trail
My deepest sympathy is with the Maxwell family. May the God of Comfort comfort the Maxwell family during this time of grief and sorrow (2 Corinthians 1:3,4).

I worked as a secretary at the State Probation and Parole Office in 1977 – 1980 while my ex was in med school. Chris lived not far from me and when I needed a ride home, he was always willing to drive me. He was an excellent officer. I just happened to search his name today and found out he had died. My sympathy to the family.

AS SIMPLY THE BEST RIP
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 deepest condolences to Charlie, Wilma, Leon & Family. I’ll always remember Marvin especially from back when I’d see him at the Little Creek Amphib Base Gym with his Dad (Charlie). About 1 year ago he installed a new HVAC system in my partner Ken’s home. Rest in Peace Marvin…❤
Uncle Maurice, Nancy is in a good place. I will remember her as “Ms. Etiquette ” often giving me a hard time about not having a full set of dishes when I lived by myself.
May Peace Be With You.
Our warmest condolences to you all in Johns passing. May all the wonderful memories you have shared give you comfort during this difficult time
Love , your Canadian cousins , Mary and family. ????
Maurice, I am so sorry for your loss! I hope that all the good memories from a great life together comfort you in this time of sorrow. Have faith that you will be together again someday!
Dear Mr. Williams –
I am so sorry to hear of your beloved Nancy’s passing. You two were a great team and a source of support and comfort for me when I was in the Band.
Chief,
So sorry to hear about Nancy. Carolyn and I have thought about you often. Take care of yourself, and hope we can catch up before long.
All best,

I’m so sorry Rebecca to hear of John Passing! My condolences and prayers are with you and your family. I had the opportunity to know John for 26 years working with him for the City of Virginia Beach Permit and Inspections. John was a great person, nice, friendly, helpful, and a positive force around the office. He is very well like to me and everyone else around him. I also enjoyed every moments talking to John about many things outside of work. John, you’re forever in my thoughts and you will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace!
Do you see her, that face, that smile. It says everything about her. She lights up a room and her laugh, warms your heart. She is as beautiful inside as out. Sheryl is a Caregiver, yes a Giver of Care/Love/Compassion/Empathy/Warmth/Sympathetic/Nurturing. Sheryl was all that and a loving Mother, Sister, Auntie, Friend and Confidante. On 3-28-21, Sheryl joined our brother Herb, Mum, Dad, Maureen and the rest of our Family for a Heavenly Palm Sunday Celebration. They both Love the Lord and are now at Peace. We will miss Sheryl and Herb terribly. RIH/RIP ❤️??❤️??
Chief, so sorry to hear of your loss. I give thanks for you, your kindness, and your big heart for service and treasure the memories of times together.

Be blessed!
Madeline, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of John. I was so awed at the home you and he built on the bay. I know you will have many beautiful memories of the times you spent together. Fondly, Debie Johnson, former School Nurse, Pembroke Meadows Elementary School.

Gonna miss you ol’ feller. We had some crazy times at work. Terrible paving jobs that made us laugh, throw up our hands, and wish we were drinking cold ones. You were like a big brother.

The COVA Brewing Company family was saddened to hear about the passing of John. He was a big part of the Ocean View community and was instrumental in the initial establishment of COVA Brewing by working with us to acquire the property in Ocean View.

We were sad to hear the news of John’s passing. Although we weren’t able to speak often, each time we saw John we so much enjoyed our conversations with him.

Love, Vince and Pearl Tedesco
We love and will miss you dearly but we know that you are united again with Gene in a land where we’ll never be sick again. All heaven is going to love you.
Maurice,
Please accept my sincere condolences on Nancy’s passing. She was a little spitfire and would always be ready with a story when Lisa and I would show up for lawn services. I enjoyed her stories about her time in the army. She was a trailblazer for all women in the military. She will be missed.
Regards,
Deborah
Chief,

Mike You And The Girls Have My Deepest Sympathy, I Will Keep Everyone In My Prayers .Rhonda Was Very Special To Me She’s Been In My Life For Almost 18yrs I Will Always Remember Her And Especially For Those Coney Jokes ,Love You Guys.??❤️❤️❤️
My Uncle John lived so big! I have admired him and loved him from my earliest memories. He stood up for me, made me laugh, and helped me see through his own example that I could make much more out of life than the box others wanted to put me in. 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.
May you rest in heaven with all the other Angels. You will continue to live through your beautiful girls. We are are so blessed to have had you as a part of each of our lives. Until we me meet again.?
Wishing Mike and your girls the strength to get through this difficult time. Peace and love to you all.
I really enjoyed Linda, she always made me laugh. We would sit around HRC and talk endlessly about life. I looked at her as a person who has been thru so much in this world but still had the drive to be well. I am very sad to hear this news today. Xo xo Linda. Rest in Peace
Sending prayers for the entire Devoe family. I’m so sorry for your loss. I never had the honor of meeting her, but I can tell how amazing of a mom she was from meeting her daughters. Rest peacefully.
So very sorry to hear you have lost Phyliss, she was a faithful member of the VCMA, she made cakes for the cake walk for many years. We knew her and Gene for a lot time, they were great people, she will be missed. Hugs and prayers for all the family.
Liz and Tee Meroney
Ms. Maness was a big part of my teenaged years. She always made me feel welcomed in her home, just like another daughter. She was so respectful of me, even though I was young and naive, she didn’t judge. I will always think fondly of those times that included her. My sincere condolences to Kim and the entire family. ❤️
I am so sorry to read of June’s passing. We worked together, ate together, shopped together many times. Past few years we were not able to see each other as much for various reasons. I always knew if I called her or she called me, we could talk for an hour non-stop. Her friendship meant so much to me. June had a beautiful family and they will miss her. May she rest in peace in God’s hands.
Enjoyed the brief time I spend with you at the party palace on Chela Ave. You were a great neighbor and friend who showed me an interesting way for a 2 liter empty bottle of soda to joyfully erupt and expressive itself. Continue on your next adventure, continue, to love, and may those friends who have gone on before us be there to warmly greet you.
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.
Truly sorry for the loss of Joe.. One of my favorite memories was “Halloween” night and taking my Grandchildren to the Graessle home for Trick or Treating!! They have not forgotten and will carry it as a warm and special memory,
God bless the family and Joe’s memory; what a Teddy Bear he was!!!
In Sympathy,
Kathy Watson
My condolences to the family of Mr. Carew. I met Mr. Carew at RiverPoint Rehab Ctr.
I volunteered every Wed. and Mr. Carew was in the lobby waiting to go to his treatment. We would converse. We had nice conversations. Before I had to go and do my volunteering, he would ask for prayer and I would pray for him. He always wanted prayer. I have missed seeing him due to the virus. I will miss him now. I will keep you all in prayer and Mr. Carew is in Heaven. He was a believer In Jesus. I am glad to have met Mr. Carew. I will keep you all in prayer during your time of bereavement . God bless you all. Mrs. Jackson
Tim was my grandfather, he taught me a lot about life. I’ll miss our talks, his stories and advice. I don’t think he knew how important he was to me. Rest in peace.
Mr. Williams,
Please know how saddened I am to hear of Nancy’s passing. We had many wonderful conversations while walking the Lake about life, family and our mutual love of dogs. I imagine her now surrounded by all the neighborhood puppies who preceded her, two of mine included. She will be tremendously missed.
Pam H.
Ron, we are so sorry to hear about Anne’s passing. We are praying for you and your family during this sad time. We pray that our LORD will give you HIS Peace, Grace and Wisdom.
Again, we offer our sympathy and prayer.
I read about the death of Bob and sending my condolences to the family. There are so many memories and one is his true love for cooking. My best to the family.
Betsy Christmas
Your loss is felt near and far, with all you have touched and those who love you. It is them who I can offer my love and strength to as they deal with the void they feel now. Your memory will stay strong as they share them and the love they hold for you, and teach other the values you taught them. In this you will continue by their side. Say hello to Rosie for us,
Madeline, I am with East Beach neighbors and just wanted to pass along our deepest and most sincere condolences with the hope and belief that John is already “fishing” with the Lord and his fishermen on the heavenly beaches with no more pain or suffering…If there is ever anything we as neighbors can do, please feel to reach out. We were honored many times with your husbands generosity and are happy to return his grace.
So shocked to read this, did not see the obituary in the paper, did not know Jan had been sick, no one let us know, please let us know of the memorial or buriel notice, so sorry and I was planning on going to outback soon for me and Jan to get our coconut shrimp
My deepest sympathies to Jan’s family. I had the honor and sheer pleasure to know Jan through golf. She was such a kind and fun lady. She will truly be missed.
I’m so sorry for your loss of Helen. It was always my pleasure to help plan your vacations and I always smile as I drive past Batchelder and Collins and think of you both. Gods blessings to you.
Judy Basco
Brother-In-Law you have given us all many wonderful memories to cherish in our minds and Souls. For me, not only the wonderful memories but I will always remember your love that you gave to your family and friends. The way you always teased and joked with My Sis. I will miss you! ? R.I.P. Sammy
I am so sorry for the passing of Sam. He was always so cute when he drove the school bus for our school. I will remember him fondly. I have your family in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
My condolences to the family of Ling Anderson. I met Ling over forty years ago when she was living on Guam. I couldn’t help but notice immediately what a cheerful and bubbly personality she had. She enjoyed life to the fullest. My deepest sympathy to her loved ones. Sincerely, Jul Hoehl
Margel and I want to offer our sincerest condolences to Madeline and your family. We very much enjoyed our monthly get together to catch up on family goings on and to slaughter that game called bridge. We’ll miss you John and May you Rest In Peace.
I am related on my mother’s side of the family.
What I remember most about Wayne is, that he was a kind and gentle man. I don’t remember ever seeing him get mad at anything. When I was little, I considered him to be the giant of a man. I think he towered over everyone, except for my father.
You are loved and missed Wayne.
My deepest sympathy in the recent loss of your loved one and my dear golfing friend at Stumpy Lake and Red Wing. The last time I played golf in Dec. was with Jan at Stump Lake. She w ill be missed by many.
I will have a margarita tonight and say a little pray for her family.
I will send a donation to First Tee.
My darling wife, I LOVE AND MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY. I want you to know I’m keeping my promises to you. By doing all we agreed upon. No one can ever take your place. You are my heart & my world. I’m truly blessed to have had you in my life. For as long as I did. Know I will be seeing you in heaven. When THE LORD decides to call me home as well. But until then you smile, knowing your husband is doing all the right things for the right reasons..
I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART & I ALWAYS WILL
KENNY PARKER GONZALEZ
To my dear daughter in law Lenora, I miss you so much. I always enjoyed our visits and phone conversations, you had such a loving heart. You were my friend and sister, I love you very much. I know you are free of pain, happy and with GOD. It’s not goodbye but see you later. Jack.
To my dearest sister words will never express our friendship we shared. We didnt talk for months but when we did it was like yesterday. You showed me the light at the end of the tunnel when I was in such a dark place. Oh how I will miss you. SIP Parker! I love you and thank God for the memories Gone but never forgotten.
God’s unchanging hand will guide you, protect you, comfort you, and cover you as you move through this season of mourning. My Lenora’s halo be your guiding light. Love you from the beginning to forever.
Once again my condolences brother but now God has a special blessing looking over you until it’s your time to be in her arms and heart again… Stay Blessed Kenny G
To my wife
Though you have two husbands we both loved you truly and always will please watch over both of us as the years pass us by as we miss you as true husbands we will meet you in paradise one day….
BiG BRO. My condolences ? didn’t get to physically meet her but we did kno each other thru you. I appreciate her warm heart,,,
Live & let live ?, many blessings cuz the both of you still have each other till the end . Lov bro . Peace to the mind & soul, may she fill countless love that u feel every day.
I will greatly miss my dear friend, Ursula. She was a member of the River Walk Birthday Club and we ALL will remember her conversations and jokes. Conrad, I am praying for your family. Be Blessed…
My deepest condolences to Kenny and his family, lenora will truly be missed i remember the fight she gave over the summers i was around, she was very strong and so gentle with me and others her and Kenny together mad me really love seeing a couple that lasted the test of time it was refreshing and I respect her so much …I remember she always wanted to pay me when I helped her but I respected and loved her so much I didn’t want it …..I also did remember trying to run so she couldn’t give it to me n she would see me after and shove it in my pocket or give it to my friend or her husband for me ….lenora really was like a mother figure to me when I was going through issues with my family …words can’t describe how broken i felt when I came to see u and I heard u wasn’t with us anymore
RIP Lenora I know I didn’t know you for long but your were really nice to me and I wish I would’ve gotten to spend more time with you but I know your in a better place
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! ♥️
You’ll be forever missed and never ever forgotten. Hurt. Happy ur not in pain. I love you. I’m not gonna cry today. I’ll hold up tight and be the best version of me I can be. My best friend. My biggest fan. My mom. I love you mom. Rest my lady. I got it.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was not aware that Sam had passed on. He was blessed with the love you all shared. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
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.
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.
I have been trying to find you for awhile, and unfortunately came across this. I am sorry you have lost your husband so early, but was glad to see you had many years together. I hope you are doing well. It was a source of sorrow for me that our families were not closer, and carry good memories and thoughts of both you and Greg. With love, your cousin
To: Mam Melissa Anderson we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and to your family for the passed away of your mother Mary Louise Anderson.
You were such a wonderful friend & like a sister to me for many many years. I will remember the fun & crazy times we had & think of you often. You were always strong & hard working. Never gave up! You will always be in my heart, until we meet again!
I fondly remember Donna from school, especially, Willard Junior. She was a year ahead of me and when I made the cheerleading squad, she passed on her uniform to me. Rest in peace, Donna.
There are no words to describe the pain that is left due to your transition with our Lord. I will say I am filled with joy because you are free from all illness and pain. May you continue to rest in heavenly peace my sister. For you will forever be loved and missed!
We are so sad to hear of Jan’s passing. Beth and I consider Jan and Bruce to be the best neighbor’s we’ve ever had. We truly miss our backyard conversations while sprucing up our yards. We hope God gives Bruce and Jan’s family the strength to get through such a terrible loss.
Though we mourn those who have passed from life into eternity, we have peace knowing that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. May all of Lenora’s family and friends take solace in this biblical understanding. Praise God & God bless you all!
Linn , So Sad to learn that your hubby passed OUR Condolences to you and family. May the Holy Spirit be with you and bring you PEACE. and Comfort during your grief. May he RIP. Me and Mrs Logan. ????
My heart goes out to his family. I’ve known big Sam for 45 years, since I was 5. He was a good man, a wonderful father, Grand father and Great Grandfather. When you seen him around his family, you always seen the love he had for them. He always treated all of us good and we had so many great memories growing up and Big Sam was always the Dad we all wished we had.
I was a student at Thorpe in 1971.. oddly I had a huge crush on miss Chapman and she broke my heart when I heard she was getting married to Geoff. In reality, she made me love math. Rest In Peace knowing that you affected your students.
Sarah will be greatly missed! She was such a nice, kind, and gentle spirit! Cecil and I enjoyed getting to know Geoff and Sarah in the S.Y.C. It was a joy to work on parties with Sarah! We regret we will be out-of-town on the date of her memorial service. Our thoughts and prayers will be with her wonderful and devoted husband, Geoff and her loving family during the coming days! Rest In Peace dear Sarah!
While I did not know you.. I met you many years ago when you were very young; your mother loves you dearly..she’s an incredible woman who will struggle with coping with losing you so suddenly….her life go forward…difficult as it will be… but… I know you will send her strength and look over her!
We all know where Joe is looking down on us and aiding and assisting each of us to do his and the Lords work. Joe joined the Virginia Beach Kiwanis Club back in the 90’s and became a wonderful friend for many years. Joe, i made a hole in one on Memorial Day and I’m sure your had a roll in it my friend. I hope if I make to your new home, we’ll get to play golf together my friend. God Bless you, your family and Linn.
Our prayers for Zachare’s family and loved ones and for his soul. We remember the time you and our son Jakob enjoyed a few years at St. Matthews, soccer and school.
Sarah was a beloved Geometry teacher. We worked together at Woodside High School.
Speak of her often to keep her memory alive. My prayers are for all of you.
We are so sorry to hear of Barry’s passing. He was such a great friend and person.
I will always cherish the times and adventures we had together while our sons were in the Boy Scouts.
Rhonda, Amanda and Matthew, we are truly sorry for your loss. Barry was a good friend and scout leader. We are truly blessed to have known him. May the memories always keep him in your hearts.
Lamar, Lena, Christopher, Blake and Grayson Howell
So sorry for your loss. Meet Mac 25 years ago at work and he worked for me on back shift 2 years ago. We had long talks of the work he did cutting grass and how much he cared about his family. Mac you will be truly missed. RIP my friend.
Zach man everyday you have been on my mind and how much I wish I could talk to you one more time. A few memories I’ll never forget is when you and I were wheelin in my old Toyota and we pretty much put my truck on it’s side in a mud hole. The other time is when we were wheelin off Corporate Landing and some dude was hitting on the girl you were talking to and you laid that dude out! Rest easy pal give Heaven some Hell!
Sorry for your loss Deepest sympathies. ????
In 2012, Tim and I was supposed to go on a cruise, the ship Costa Concordia in Italy sunk before it arrived at our destination. He was a good guy. R.I.P
John lived on the 11th floor of Westminster Canterbury when I moved into that floor. He was a gentleman of many interests, and I appreciated the opportunity to get to know him. My condolences to his loved ones.
Such a wonderful man. Know Barry is in heaven. God bless Barry. Rest in peace. Prayers and blessings on his wife, Rhonda, his daughter, Amanda and his son, Matthew. My love and peace to all of you. Karen Sublett
I’m deeply saddened to hear about Barry. I haven’t seen him for some time but still loved him dearly. May God comfort the family during this sad time. Love to all.
So sorry to hear of Barry’s passing. I didn’t know him very well, but he was a special friend to my son Tony. I know they had many good times together that Tony still talks about. Take comfort that he is at peace now with not a care in the world! Love to all his family! Anne Kyp
Mom we will miss you. You were certainly ‘old-school’ concerning greeting cards. The granddaughters will always remember your numerous cards (sent on all holidays, birthdays, etc.) with the special prize inside. It brings a smile as I remember them. Rest peacefully.
Dear Bruce, Russ, Stephanie and Family,
We were sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. She definitely was one in a million. A life well lived…and a wonderful example. Thinking of all of you and wishing you strength. Hopefully memories of happy times will bring you peace.
Remembering how Mom would quietly support me, her understanding, thoughtfulness and unconditional love, are all part of me.
I am missing you.
With all my love.
Cliff and I worked together for the DOC during the 1990′ s. He was a great fellow employee, and we had a lot of laughs with Bernie, another employee. Cliff, cared about those, he was entrusted to offer treatment and lead them to recovery. I pray that his family and friends grief will ease with time, and cherished memories follow.
She was a sweet woman with a strong spirit she fought a great fight for years an at the end she was ready to be with her family an friends to celebrate her new life! Mrs Roy you will be truly missed by all! God Bless
Keith was a sweet guy,always smiling and never an unkind word.We saw him almost every day and it was always a joy.He will be terribly missed by everyone who knew him.The world will seem a little dimmer without him.God will have his hands full.
Mom was the best mom I could have hoped for! She was so funny and loving and one of my best friends I’ve ever had. She has always been there for me and my brothers and sisters. Her faith in God was and still is a huge inspiration for me, and I miss her so much! I love you, Mom. I know you’re resting in the arms of Jesus!!
Leslie, we were certainly saddened to hear about your Dad’s death. David and I send our condolences to you and all your family. He’ll be missed here at W/C.
Donald and Tyler, Bill and I were so very sorry to hear of Vicki’s passing. Condolences to the family and just know we are thinking of you both. May she finally rest in peace.
Sorry to read of the passing of Vickie. We were school friends from our early years in W.T. Cooke school through our graduating class at First Colonial.
Thoughts and Prayers for her and her family. Ann Knudson Burnett.
She was a very special aunt. Always loved her stories and her knowledge on life. She was always a very kind and loving lady. Always ready to go and do anything she could for you. She will be truly missed,but always be in my memories that I will never forget. She will always be my very special aunt!
Ethel was a great lady. I will always remember her London broil she made for Sunday dinners & the awesome sweater she handmade for me. A real treasure, your mom. My prayers go out to you Sharyn and your family during this difficult time.
Such a tremendous loss for the family and friends who thought so highly of him. Williamsburg Aerie #4548 has lost a guiding light. 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.
Dear John and Family: My most heartfelt condolences on your loss. The memory of her steadfast support for all the wives during the long 10-month deployment of the squadron to Vietnam will always be remembered with admiration and gratitude. Her best friend at that difficult time, Gladys, awaits with open arms and warm embrace.
Peace to John and your family right now. Our family sat by Marilyn and John at 5:30 Saturday Mass at St. Nick’s. John and Marilyn would also visit Central Library where I work. Such a genuine, faith-filled couple who felt like church family. Prayers for all of you–
With love,
Tracey, Pete, Peyton, and Mallory Berning
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time, Barry was a much loved member of the Ryan Homes Team and we will miss him so much, his generosity to local causes that we took part in was so appreciated, will be missed by all.
So sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Keith was when they moved their Mama to be closer to Peggy. We all grew up together and had some good times. When were little the highlight of our summer was to go to Virginia. Keith had a kind heart and soul and made others around him happy. He LOVED his family and friends and will truly be missed by all.
My sincere condolences to John and the entire Dooley clan. I’ve known John and Marilyn now for almost 30 years. I always sensed that mom was the strength that held the family together while dad’s wit and stories were always entertaining. It is an honor and a joy knowing members of the family for all these years. May eternal life be granted unto her. I am sure she will live in the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Ada’s grace, wit and down-to-earth sense that made everyone that knew her, love her. She treated me as much a friend and a daughter that anyone would want. I will miss her so much.

My prayers go out to the family of Mitch. I worked for Mitch at DCSE. He was one of the best supervisors that I ever. my prayers of condonlences go out
I remember when we are practically live together when we were little. Junior and little brother was older than we were. But they would let us play basketball with them. We thought they belong to us whenever any other children would come around we didn’t want them to let them play basketball.
Jr., I will always have a special place for you in my heart Cousin. I remember the times that Cousin Robbie and Cousin Joe “Baby” would bring you and “Lil Brother”down to our house, or my Dad and Mom or Aunt Julia and Uncle Nem would bring Freddie, Betty Ann and I to your home to play and terrorize each other. I enjoyed talking to you and your daughter, Ebony at the “Family Reunion” in 2018 in Little Rock. May You Rest In Peace Cousin.
Gloria Crayton Prentice
Uncle Robert was a good uncle. He never held his tongue. If he knew you was doing wrong, he would let you know. To my family, hold your head up. Uncle Robert would look at you and say”Im okay”
Love Maria
I went to school with Warren for 12 years. I never recall him being anything but a nice solid person. Quiet but real. And he was just the same when I saw him at Kellam reunions. From Facebook I learned he never changed and that family meant everything to him. One of the good guys. I hope he didn’t suffer for long, if at all. Prayers for his family as you truly have lost a very special person.
Where is kidnap big head Chinaman that I’m greatly respect and Bobby Terry he lived a good life live life the way you want to live he found peace within itself.

My condolence go to the voice to family his daughter was there for him till then amen.
Tom, I was shocked to hear about Rachel at our 45th Agnes Scott College Reunion last weekend! How very sad! Rachel was such a fun, vibrant, joyful, busy woman. A good friend in college. A devoted wife and mother. I know you and your family will miss her tremendously. And her Scottie sisters will too. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mitch was a great friend to me and my family. I met him while he was a Major in the Army at Fort Monroe, Va, and we’ve been friends ever since. He always offered good solid advice and I feel honored to have known such a great person. Mitch, we won’t get to have that summer cookout we were planning but when we meet again, we will. Rest in Peace, buddy (I’m tearing up) and May God Bless the entire Mitchell family.

Dear Flo and family, I was saddened at the news of Dale’s passing. I worked with Dale at Newport News Shipbuilding and had the esteem privilege of becoming friend with him, yourself and your two sons [Brandon + Christian] when they were young living in Hampton and Buckroe Beach Virginia.
I will always remember those times with Dale, you and your family quite fondly. My deepest condolences on your loss.
Ms Fagan was one of my very favorite PE teachers at Great Bridge High School. She always made class enjoyable and was so sweet. My prayers go out to her family.
Mona and family ,
I am just hearing today of Warren’s passing.I am so very sorry.
It’s so difficult to suddenly be without someone you’ve spent so many years. Take time to mourn, cry, and rejoice in the wonderful life full of so many happy memories and knowing he is with our Savior, Jesus. Therein lies your comfort.
It will take time to adjust to this new way of living and don’t let anyone tell you it’s time to move on. You will when your heart tells you
I’m so glad your children and grands live close by
Lean on them and love them.
We are all here for you!
Sincerely, Judy
613-1242
Phil and I express our deepest sympathy to you at this time. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Ryan lives on through all of you. Take one day at a time. ❤️ With love, Phil and Elna Gordon
Charlie will be dearly missed. He was an awesome guy who would do anything for anyone. He never turned down an opportunity to help family. Never heard a negative word said about him from anyone. Rest in peace Charlie.
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.
Live, Laugh and Love
Dear Surry Family ~ please rest assured that you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers as you celebrate the life of your Father. Bob & Helen Roybark, Moseley, VA
Mona and Family,
So very sorry to hear of Warren’s passing. He was such a kind man. Last year he sent me a little video of someone playing the piano (via facebook) and his caption was ‘reminds me of you’… Needless to say that person playing the piano was far better than I would ever be, but it was certainly a great compliment and I’ve always remembered that. Love to you and your family at this difficult time.
Ann Etheridge
Susan and family,

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
We were so sorry to hear of Keith’s death. Our prayers are for his family in this their time of grief. Keith was the kindest person I know. He could always make you laugh! God Bless all those who loved you and will miss you! Rest in peace, Keith.
Kathy and Dana, my heart is breaking for you both. Keith was a good man that would give you the shirt off his back Never heard anyone say a bad word about him. He was just so loved and if you knew him then he loved you. He is with his Momma now and this world have lost someone so special. Go rest high on that mountain. Til we meet again RIP and know you will never be forgotten
Dottie was one of the best people I have ever known. I will miss her dearly and treasure all the memories I have shared with her and her family. I Love You!!!
On behalf of Women First, the office of Margie Corney, MD, I offer sincerest condolences. Mrs. McMahan was a jewel and a patient we considered VIP. She was loved by Dr Corney and the entire staff.
David was a character with a great sense of humor. I spoke with him this past March and although frail, still had a ready smile and kind words. My sincere condolences to his children, grandchildren and partner Betty.

Kelly, Richard and Raven ❤
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.
I’m sorry for your lost. I had pleasure of meeting her through my job. I was her home health aide for awhile. She was a pleasure everytime I went there to care for her. She always made me feel welcomed and loved. I loved our talks while I cared for her. She would tell me about her books and about her life too. I miss her. 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. Your bond was amazing. And thank you from the bottom of my heart, for letting me in your home to meet your mom and take care of her. Love you Shalisha.
Oh Marion, my heart hurts for you. I loved seeing your close mother daughter relationship. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet her. Your mom knew all of us and always had a smile and kind words! May all those precious moments you shared with your sweet mother bring you joy! HUGS to you and your family. Catherine
Mr. Surry (Mac) was a wonderful person, husband, father, grandfather, & friend. He was an exemplary role model as a family man. How blessed his family and friends are to have had him in their lives and all the many memories to cherish. I am one of those friends and what an honor to have known him. I hope you and Peggy are once again holding hands!
My extreme condolences for the loss of Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris meant so much to me and conversations he shared with me will be treasured for my lifetime. Mr. Harris is a true hero amongst veterans and I am proud to have known him. Salute and prayers for your family.
Sincere condolences to the John’s family, friends, and extended family. It was always a pleasure to see John at various real estate functions, celebrations, and gatherings. He was a very soft spoken person, an intelligent leader, and a true professional. He will be truly missed.
so sorry to here this beautiful person John has left us. Our prayers with his family. He was always helpful and wanting to help agents anyway he could!
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. ❤?
Kim was so special. I went to school with her at Louisville. We reconnected on Facebook. I loved reading her stories about Romey, her cat. I have a silly cat to and we would share stories. She will be very missed by many.
I was saddened to hear of Beverly’s death after her many years of health issues and her recent battle with cancer. I will always remember her for her sweet nature, her deep faith in God and her love for her family, friends and dogs.
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…..
Kimmy my heart hurts so much I can’t believe you left us
I am going to miss you!! I feel God took you away to early, my work out partner-work partner!! May God Bless you in Heaven!! my kids are going to miss you too!! my condolences to your Dad-Family!! love you
My bestie- thank you for being in my life. I can’t believe this happened. I miss you so much and I’ll love you forever. I can’t wait to see you again on the other side.
Our hearts and thoughts and prayers are with Jim and family. We pray that you may be comforted through family and friends. Our sincerest sympathy, Russell and Ginger Scherck
Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength. Don’t let go of your precious memories. They’ll get you through this difficult time. Love and prayers.
I only Met Debra once at OBX. One of the nice lady I have met. She took some great pictures of my car and did some awesome videos too. We were good friends on FB. She will truly be miss for sure.
Tom: Karen and I cant express the sorrow we feel over the loss of your Rachel. You are both in our prayers and you know that we are here for you if or when you need us. God bless you both!
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”.
Dear lawver family , i have no words to ease your loss . Know that you are not alone as I am praying for you all daily . Kim is such a beautiful person inside and out !!!! I know god is having a wonderful dance with her . God bless you all ❤️ Clarice morley
I am deeply saddened to hear about your passing. It has been a privilege to be able to know you and share laughs in our time working together. Heaven has truly gained an angel.
If more of us had your endearing ability to break the ice and start talking to people we’ve never met before, the world would be a better place. Dottie, Grandma, you will be missed but not forgotten.
John and I met through Realtor association management. Although we both had management positions with competing real estate brokers we developed professional relations that served us both during our real estate careers. We argued, laughed, became friends and provided each other with a sounding board when another point of view was needed. John left us much too early and will be missed by many. May he Rest in Peace.
So sad to hear that John has passed. He was a nice guy and I enjoyed working with him when he managed the Hampton GSH office and then Prudential Towne. My condolences to his family.
Ryan you were chosen to come into our family, and you loved so much more! You were a smart, funny and sensitive young man. You proudly served our country and then made avghome to make yourself the very best Dad for your daughter Olivia❤️You will be missed so much more because you were taken so early from us. Rest quietly with the Lord and we will see you again
Kim you will be remembered as a bright light in the years my daughter danced at Starmaker PAC. You always were smiling and your students felt the joy you felt in dancing. As a parent, I knew my daughter was in great hands and gaining great experience from great teachers during her time at the dance studio. God bless Miss Kim and thank you for all your good works.
Please know that there are many friends who are mourning with you. I was friends with Kim from the time we were nine. We had many sleepovers, birthdays, and I even attended a few of her recitals back in the day. Gone far too soon. Prayers for Kim, and your family as they work through this difficult time. You are out of pain now.
It was surprising and sad to learn of the passing of John. He was a good boss
(GSH/ RE); always with a smile and a pleasant personality.
To the family: Even though I walk through the dark valley, I will not fear because you are with me and you comfort me. Psalm 23:4. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
I am deeply saddened by John’s passing. He was a wonderful man and someone I enjoyed working with while serving on the Board of Directors for the Virginia Association of REALTORS. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. God Bless.
Candice Bower
My Condolence to John and his family member. John and I had some good times together and have share work experience. John will be miss by me by as so many others. I even had the pleasure of golf with John in a well-working relationship. God speed be with the family and friends of John.
John, you are going to be missed terribly. I sure hope you are up there enjoying endless rounds of golf in the sun or relaxing on a beach listening to the waves with a cold one in you hand. I will treasure all the memories , You were such a great man and a great friend who never had a complaint even when things were a bit ruff. You always had a kind smile for everyone. You had the philosophy of the more the merrier. You never said no to fun or what might be and always wanted to make sure everyone was having a great time. You will remain in our thoughts forever as the kind hearted man and great friend that you are. With Love, Your Friend Forever Kelly
This is a shame; gone way too early. John was a sharp Broker, worked with him for years at GSH. Played many a round of golf together; I will miss his sense of humor.
Praying for all Kim’s family; for God’s peace that passes understanding. I met Kim some years back and will never forget her smile nor her love of Jesus.
May our Lord Jesus Christ cover each of those that grieve for Kim. We pray for all those that she touched. May the love of God our Father sustain each of you in your heartache.
DeColores Kim ?
.
My deepest condolences ? to the family and friends. My prayers are with you. Be encouraged, God sent Angel to earth and now had called her home to be with Him, where she watches over you. ?
I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I worked with him at the shipyard in the Planning Department and he was always a ray of sunshine. He was always learning something new and was eager to fill you in on the details. He will be missed.
RIP Baby girl… You were a very sweet and caring person.. it breaks my heart to know that you left this world in the manner that u did… I love you Christinia.. May you forever be in my heart!
Mr. Chappell I so sorry to hear of Ms. Evelyn’s passing, I know she was your everything and our heart goes out to you. Lifting you and family in prayer and know she is with Jesus and worshiping Him!
Danny was one of the most thoughtful and giving people I have ever encountered. He was always thinking of others but expecting nothing in return. Most recently, I reached out to Danny about buying a computer for a family in need. Without hesitation, he offered a laptop with case and didn’t want a dime. 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. We spent many holidays together and he will forever be an extended part of the family. You will be missed.
My dearest sweetest friend. Thank you for being my bestie. I love you so much and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I’ll love you forever and I will see you again on the other side! XOXO
David, Daniel mom and dad and David senior I am so sorry Kim was a wonderful mom, friend and daughter I just found out my youngest daughter passed in October I know your pain I’m so sorry❤️❤️❤️
Vicki and I were friends since grade school and I love her very much. We kept in touch all through the years. I know she is at peace now but my heart is broken. She had many times about going to live with her son Brian. I am so happy that that happened. Brian I am so sorry for your loss. Please contact me if you wish.
Danny will be missed by so many. He had so many friends and so many hobbies he enjoyed. He helped us out so many times over the past 20 years with our computers and networking at our company. He was the best IT person around. He was also a good friend of ours. RIP Danny.
Al and Mary,
I am so sorry that your beautiful daughter passed away. She was certainly an accomplished woman and a great dancer. We will for you that you will have the peace and love that the Lord grants.
There’s so many. The last one we talked about. Was the day she got a new saddle for her pony milky way. Well she never used it after that day .we where galloping down a dirt road. She got her foot hung up in the stirrup ended up getting dragged throw sand spurs. A few months ago we where laughing about that day. She was about 10 and she really wanted that saddle.
My family and I have known Danny for many years. He was a computer mentor to my boys and was always ready to help with our computer needs. He was a kind and giving soul. He will definitely be missed by many. Rest In Peace Danny.
We knew Danny through a mutual friend, Howard. Danny spent the last year of Howard’s life taking care of Howard. Danny was devoted and compassion and would “do anything for Mr. Howard” as Danny called him. I was at Mr. Howard’s myself most days and witnessed Danny’s gentleness. No friend could have done more than Danny did. He was a real blessing to Howard. We are so sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. A life cut short.
I’m so sorry to see Priscilla pass away but I know she was happy moving here to be with you from SC! I will always have fond insurance memories of the first day I met her and, of course, super doll memories. She was a wonderful lady.
Dear Leroy and family members,. our deepest sympathy and prayers are with each one of you. “Absent from the body and present with the Lord”.. .”Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted”. Mt 5: 4. We do know that God’s wisdom is greater than ours and we must trust him in all things. We know that God will give added Strength, Comfort and Peace as only he can do during this time of separation from Judy. Memory is one thing that death cannot destroy so dwell on her beautiful memories. We sawJudy grow up from childhood.. Old neighbors, The Roscopf’s .
Judy was a big part of growing up for me. She showed me so many things musically. I have great memories of singing hymns with her and learning harmony with that upright piano. We’ll all miss you dearly. ❤️
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.
I will always love and miss him. Over twenty year of friendship. Love you DANNY
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a very kind person who obviously loved her family. Her spirit will never perish, living on through you and future generations. Sincerely, Anne and Mike Noble
Our deepest condolences for the loss of such an incredible woman. Judy touched so many lives and will be greatly missed by all. Much love, Brett & David
Leroy and family, My love and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will always remember the fun times I had with Judy during our teen years. She was always laughing! I was blessed to have her play the organ at my wedding in 1972! May God bless you and comfort you. Love, Brenda
Janna was — and will remain — a tremendous influence on me. She showed me what was possible both inside and outside the dojo. I count myself fortunate to have been on the receiving end of her fists of kindness more times than I can count. She made the world a better place.
Judy and I met when she starting playing the organ at Union Baptist Church. My husband, Bill, went up to her one Sunday and said I used to know a boy named Leroy Maxie that went to Riverside Baptist Church. She said that would be him. Bill and Leroy”s father were good christian friends. We all became fast friends and the rest is history.I will always remember Judy as one of the kindest people I have ever met.During her whole illness, I never asked her how she was that she didn”t say I’m fine.How many of us can even say that on a good day. I will miss her every day.
Judy was a special person who touched many lives with her musical gifts. So many fond memories of her patience and teaching abilities. She will be missed. Prayers for the entire family during this difficult time.
My sincerest condolences to Judy’s entire family and especially to her mom Mrs. Gladys Wright. Judy and I were good friends through high school at Warwick High. May your memories of Judy sustain you in your grief.
Very sorry to learn of Beverly’s transition from this mortal coil & only glad that her excruciating battle is given over to her heavenly Father. 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!
Judy made the world a happier place. We had so much fun together in college, studying and practicing hours at a time. We both played the organ for churches in Burlington, NC, and were often able to ride together, and enjoy that time talking and laughing. I will miss Judy every day, but I rejoice that she is healed now.
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.
Georgie
I use to work for Kempsville building materials, Sherri and I were coworkers. I just found out yesterday that Sherri had passed. I was heartbroken, she was one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life. Lord we’ve truly lost a beautiful Soul. My condolences to the family. R.I.H Sherri. Your Brother forever Jay.
LOIS “MOM”PARIS & I became friends some 16 years ago. She was always so sweet an caring. We could always find something to talk about. Even after she moved we still sent each other notes. Hope she is resting peaceful.
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.
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.
~ Rita
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.
Danny was always one of those guys that if you ever needed anything, he was there. He put me up when I got separated from my wife till I could get back on my feet again. He loved the water and going out on his Hobbie in the summers. He will truly be missed.
Joe will be greatly miss, he left a giant footprint in this life. He was a lovely person and I feel so fortunate to have a small part in his life. My children admired a respected him tremendously. My two Son’s spent 5 year’s in the NAVY because of great examples of Service they witnessed like Joe. Joe epitomized the term Hero & Patriot. God bless and welcome Joe home Father, he fought a good fight.
I came across Tree Of Life Herbal Clinic, (w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com ) one year ago and learnt about their successful COPD herbal therapy for COPD. 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.
Chris Butt
former Dean of St Christopher’s Cathedral (2009-2019)
Thank you for your service Joe; to your country, your church and to your Lord and Savior. Job well done good and faithful servant. Love you my Brother.
Joe’s positive upbeat approach to life will surely be missed. I was my pleasure to work with him at Joint Forces Staff College. I followed his journey with cancer with prayers and wishes for wellness. So sorry to see him gone much too soon.
My deepest condolences to Lisa, Ben and Audrey. It’s been many years but I still remember cousin Joe’s warmth and sense of humor. I hope you find comfort in the happy memories during this painful time.
Divot was 1st my XO & then my Skipper when I rep’d VFA-15. Over a short time we became tight. In short he was very hood to me & everyone he came in contact with…….as I witnessed it 1st hand.
We ate together, we shared stories together, we talked Guitar a lot & we DRANK TOGETHER !
He was loved by all but no more so by Lisa, Ben & Audrey. He was the ultimate Husband, Father, Friend & Leader. I will miss him dearly…..
In conclusion, he was a GREAT LEADER & DEFENDER OF OUR NATIONS FREEDOMS.
Nan, dear….I have been praying for you and your family.
I know you will be blessed by the good Lord and feel the comfort that only He can give.
I will call you after things settle down a bit.
Love,
Doris
My deepest condolences. One of my favorites in a career full of COs and XOs. He will be sorely missed by me. This trend of loss in my years since leaving the USN is something I will never get use to. I was privileged to serve with a such a Great Officer.
I am so sorry to know that Bill has passed. I worked with Bill and Jayne in the printing shop for 12 years and thought of them as family for a time. We had many good times. May you rest in peace Mr. Bill.
We are very sorry to hear about the loss of Peggy Pezzella. She will be missed by all her friends and family. Keith I don’t have your phone number, or I would have called you. Again sorry for your loss.
Lisa and family,
I know that Diane would join me in expressing our deepest sympathy to you and your family in Joe’s death. Joe was a wonderful man who lived his spiritual beliefs everyday. We are deeply saddened by his passing but take comfort that he has been released from his struggle. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
May God’s Grace give you comfort at this difficult time.
Tom and Diane Sugg
Skipper Jerauld may you rest in peace… I know I can speak for each and every member of the VFA-15 team you lead as XO and then CO you will be more then missed and always remembered as the Great Leader you are !!! As we have moved on with our lives we learned from you how to work hard play hard and most of all love and respect each other and everybody our lives touch. We all send our Love and condolences to Lisa, Aubrey and Ben. We have the watch and will attempt to follow the lead of this Great America Hero !!!
We are very saddened to hear of Andy’s passing but we know he is rejoicing in the presence of God. When I served Baylake as Director of Music, Andy was always someone I could turn to with any question or concern. He was a prayer warrior and always had a kind word of encouragement for anyone in need. Singing with the choir of Angels – what a wonderful place to be. We pray God gives comfort to his family and church family during this time.
The loss of this great warrior, patriot, and family man comes much too soon. I first deployed with CAPT Joe Jerauld when we were both JO’s on USS Dwight D Eisenhower in 94-95. He in VFA-105, me in VF-32. I would go on to work for him a few years later as his Training Officer when he was OPSO of the VFA-27 Royal Maces, home-ported in Japan. Nothing but great times and fond memories of mine and my families’ time with Joe, Lisa, Ben, and Audrey. Joe, you will be sorely missed, but NEVER forgotten.
So sorry to hear that Luke passed away. We were friends from our early twenties. Working at Stanis Furniture for many years and sharing many laughs. Barbara if you see this message please give me a call at (843) 469-8264. My prayers are with you and Marshal and Emily. Hope you are all doing well. I will miss Luke very much. Sincerely, Dave Chisholm 7/12/2021
I am saddened to lose a fellow sailor, Christian, and Brother in the Cursillo movement. I know that you are with Jesus, and worshiping God in person. Fair winds and following seas my friend!
My condolences to her husband and family. I only knew her as a young girl when the family was our neighbors. Her husband and my brother met in school and have remained friends throughout the years. I just recently was made aware that she had passed.
Divot and I were roommates in VFA-27 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. He was the senior Dept Head and I was the junior one, and I remember the important lessons he taught me about managing people and living a good life during our late night talks. We overlapped again as XO/COs in Oceana and I feel lucky to have known such a great American and family man. Fair winds and following seas, my Brother!
Skipper, from prepping your aircraft, to skiing in Tahoe, to the epic Ryder Cup, then deployment of 05-06 what an awesome time. To Joe’s family and friends, I send my most sincere condolences and hope the memories and stories help with healing. Rest in peace and keep watch over us Joe.
Lisa, Ben and Audrey, our hearts are hurting with you as well as rejoicing with the celestial choir that surely has Joe singing loud and clear as we saw him do each Sunday, regardless of how he felt. There was a joy in him that was always visible to those around him, even near his last days on earth. May the God Joe loved, and who continues to love him beyond our sight, bless you all with the comfort of His presence. Joe is in wholly in His presence and abundantly glad. We send our love to you.
I remember him. He was a good man. Always gave me nothing but kindness. Sad to hear of his passing. I was searching for Rebekah’s whereabouts when I found this. I guess tell her I’m sorry for the loss, and tell Sandra and Kah the same. Sorry I wondered so far.
Divot,
Fair winds and following seas to one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. You were a good friend and a great leader. My deepest condolences for your family.
Served twice with Capt. Jerauld, VA/VFA-81 and again in VFA-15. I liked him from the first time I met him. He brought it full circle when he caught with up with me, shortly after checking into 15. He always chatted with me and always had a joke or something funny to share. He wished me farewell and gave me positive thoughts, when we had our sit down, before I retired. He was my CO, but also my friend.
Was the honor of a lifetime to serve under Skipper Jerauld as my first XO with the Valions. Always had a smile on his face and positive words. Rest easy sir. We have the watch!
Of all the Executive Officers that I have worked with, Joe was by far the best! He was an amazing leader, pilot, mentor and friend! You will be sorely missed! Fair winds and following seas!
Joe May you Rest In Peace as you transition to heaven and everlasting life. May our God’s blessings and grace forever be with you. May he harbor your family under his wings. You will be missed by our Emmanuel family where you brought much joy and sunshine. I treasure our time together on Vestry and to listen to you play guitar and sing. Forever Fly Safe.
Joe was an awesome guy he always asked me how my band was doing …..great thoghtful guy this news was a shock to me……..he may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
I love you so much dad. I promised you I would take care of what was best for you and I did just that. Give mom the biggest hug for me, and I hope you both find one another that way you were when you first met. I miss you so much and can’t wait to see you again.
We send love and sincerest sympathy.
Joe will be missed.
We remember his kindness, humor, commitment to community and his music.
The light of Christ lives on in his memory.
Lisa, Ben, and Audrey, Our hearts and tears are with you. Joe was such a good man and a true friend. He is truly missed and our prayers are with you every day. Wishing you God’s peace, love and support.
Holly & I will treasure the memories we have of Joe and his wonderful family. We value his service to our nation and Emmanuel Episcopal Church. God bless you Joe.
Tremendously sad to hear of Divot’s passing. We crossed paths on multiple occasions throughout our careers, and from the first time we met, he was someone I deeply respected and admired as a leader, mentor, and friend. Gone far too soon, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our deepest sympathies to Lisa and the family.
I didn’t know Joe very well as I only met him a few times. Having read this tribute to him I am so amazed at how he gave of himself his entire life to help his country, his fellow man and his loving family in everything he did which involved great risk and sacrifice. My heart goes out to his beautiful family in their time of sadness. I pray that God eases their pain and suffering and helps them be comforted and receive His peace and healing. I have faith that Joe is at peace in Heaven with God for all eternity and will be reunited with all his loved ones in time. ?❤️?
Barb, thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family. Bob was a great leader and teacher. Our hearts are broken for this loss but God had other plans, as Bob is now flying in Heaven with the Angels.
Barb and and family,
We were so shocked to hear about Bob, did not realize he was that sick. I enjoyed the many years working with him going over the Aero Club financials but also just visiting the club and getting to know the people and the planes. I think about it every time I see a Cessna in a movie. 🙂 I wish we could have had that last get together. May God bless and comfort you at this time. Love, Linda and Joel
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.
Barbara, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. It was always a pleasure to chat with him, and particularly see how his eyes twinkled around you. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Robbie
Such a great man. Always had a smile on his face and a positive thing to say. I had no idea Joe was such an accomplished pilot, speaks to how humble he was. He set a great example on how to love God and live one’s l
Renee and I were honored to serve along side Joe and Lisa in our time in the Navy. I cherish the friendship and time I spent with Joe and loved working with him during my time in VFA 15. He and Lisa were always great friends and provided us both with excellent advice and support. Joe treated everyone with respect and fairness. I know Joe’s faith was strong and he is in a better place. Lisa please know that Renee and I are praying for you and your family. Ed &Renee Langford
With Joes;s reuniting with his Lord and Savior, may your days ahead be filled with only loving and funny memories of Joe. My prayers are for you all to be blessed with feelings of his love around you daily. Peace and healing be with Joe. God Bless, Gail Biermann.
Lisa, Ben, Audrey and the entire family: May your sadness today give way to sweet memories of a wonderful man. Hugs and prayers for all of you. Love, Jon and Elise
Our deepest condolences to you both. Bob was a great friend and an integral part of our Poquoson CERT. He made significant contributions to CERT outreach and training as both President and Training Chair. We will miss him very much but are glad to have met you all.
Bob was an amazingly generous man who, along with his wife Barbara, supported the Tidewater AFCEA Chapter over many years. Our Chapter was enriched by the lights they shined at every activity; the brilliant smiles and great personalities that were engaging to all whom met them. Now Bob’s light shines in heaven and is remembered here on earth. Ken HIrlinger
My condolences to Andy’s family. I had the privilege of working with Andy in the Warrenton Baptist Church as an associate minister. Andy was a great mentor for a recent seminary graduate. Andy was a giving person and genuinely cared for people. He was open minded and gave credit and support to his fellow workers in the church. With Andy, there was plenty of room in his heart and mind to share the responsibility of ministry. He was not an egotistical pastor who had to control everything. I am grateful to have served with Andy and learn from him.I thank God that he and Nan were able to be together for 68 years. Nan too was a gift to many children who sat under her teaching.
Oh, this news is tough. Mrs. Downes was such a nice lady and I always thought so much of her. She is with Kenny now, and I bet he’s showing her around heaven and they’re laughing together this very moment. Prayers to her family as they work through this loss. God bless you all.
Rest in Peace Frances I know in my heart you are with Kenny and Dee Dee and the rest of your family who have been waiting in heaven for you. Thanks for the beautiful Christmas Trees you made for me and my granddaughter. You will always be remembered over the holidays when we put out beautiful trees..
Thank you for the wonderful idea of leaving your family a letter.. I will follow your lead and do the same for my family.. What a wonderful gift you left them..
Marguerite has your girls and I will try and be there for her now that she doesn’t have you daily in her life.. Lots of the ladies out here at West Neck will miss your daily jokes sent and be there for Marguerite also.. William and I will try not to beat her to bad at cards.. I know you would are laughing now even if I cannot hear you..
Frannie, It was so good for the time spent together, Your a sister to a very close friend of mine.
You are certainly missed right now, knowing you were so so active in all your abundance of chores and doings. Gee Fran, did God have to take you now, just as we were getting to know each other?
You”ll be missed……very much———God be with you, Bless you and keep you safe and secure.
Your Polack friend, ……………….Joan Y.
So sorry to just hear of Pastor Garland Hines’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Walter..I am so sorry for your loss. You did a wonderful job with your mom with your care and compassion. She was a lucky lady to have you. Please let me know if there is anything you need.
I am absolutely heart broken to hear this. I worked with Roger at the Boat Ramp for many years. I always enjoyed listening to his stories and we had great conversations. He was a good man and will be greatly missed. Sending my thoughts, prayers, and condolences to his family.
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.
The Virginia Beach Master Gardeners send our condolences, and wish her family peace as they mourn the loss of Ruby. Her service during her years with the Master Gardeners brought beauty and knowledge to our city.
Ruby, you left too soon. We never all the lunches and dinners I planned in my mind for when I move to VB. I will miss them sorely. Oh how I miss our late night conversations about our politicians and the state of our country. I hope you are reaching down and helping us out a bit, and not just laughing at us. Every time Obe does her little tinkle thing I think about you and I can hear you laughing. I will always miss you, my dear friend, my fellow Minnesotan, Save me a space,,,
So sorry for your loss my prayers go out to your familyI always enjoyed her wonderful recipes!And I am lucky enough to have the beautiful Christmas Tree she made for me it will always make think of her every Christmas.She was a wonderful sister to my friend Marguerite.My love and thoughts to all of you!❤️?
Frances was a wonderful friend and neighbor during our years on Edinburgh Drive. She and her daughters were wonderful with our children and we have thought of her often. Pat and Cheryl, we are so sorry for your loss. Anita and Lou Tonelson
My heart is broken. I will miss him calling me everyday to check on me. I will miss taking him to get groceries. I will miss taking him to his doctor appointments. I will miss sitting with him everyday that he was in the hospital. I will miss him everyday that I am alive. I loved him.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great person. I had the blessing of working with, and being friends with David. He was always willing to help with whatever he could, and was very friendly. He has been encouraging and thoughtful through my ongoing battle with cancer and I will miss his inspiring personality. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family.
So enjoyed knowing Ruby as a member of the VB Master Gardeners–lots of fun and hard work under the AREC trees together. Thanks, Ruby, for sharing your knowledge!
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.
I am sad to hear the news of David’s passing. He truly was a kind and wonderful person. I have been blessed to have been a friend, coworker and Great Bridge Wrestling fan with him for many years. Condolences and prayers go to his family and loved ones.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for your family. Judy was an outstanding friend and boss, Judy, Thank you for everything. I greatly appreciate your kindness and caring heart. You always listen and gave great advice. I will truly missed my dear friend. I will always be thinking of you and grateful. Love always Trish Hobbs
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..
You and I had a special relationship right from the start … You were the big sister I always needed and I am very thankful that I had you for 51 years … You were an amazing Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Mama and Mamaw to Cameron, Hayden, Logan and Lillian. We are all missing you so much already. I feel like I have a hole in my heart in the shape of you. At least you have some good company up there. Give everybody a hug for me. Rest In Paradise Ain’t B. Love you always. Pam.
Anne and I miss you very much, we will always cherish the memories of all the great times we had together, and there are so many. Rest In Peace Beverly
JC was a very hard working man who will be truly missed my his family and friends. My condolences go out for his family. May you all be comforted in the faith that he will be with his father in heaven
I was saddened to hear that shirley (Joanne) had passed away. She was my grandmother. I had hoped that I’d be notified by a call, instead I find out this way. Jo, i miss you each day and the talks we always had. Now you are an angel. Love you
I knew Kenny since I was 19 and he was 27. We got married later in life. Even though our marriage didn’t work out, I always loved him. I can’t believe he’s gone. RIP Kenny. ?
Family-My sincere condolences on your loss of this excellent sailor. I served with Joe on USS Skipjack. How close? He, I and Peter Sococco all had the 3 bunks near the ELT shack door. Joe was always a gentleman, a rarity among sailors and he put out our ships’s newsletter which was always highly entertaining. Summary-A GOOD MAN!
Rose was a wonderful person & a loving sister & sister-in-law, we will miss her very much. We know she will be watching over all her loved ones. RIP Rose!
I will remember him fondly. Great guy with a good heart. We dated a number of years ago, but ended friends. Lost touch these past few years, but I will slwsys think of him and smile.
I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Downes. She was a fun, vivacious, beautiful lady. I appreciate all the times she allowed us to hangout and have sleepovers at your house – even putting up with our late night pancake making. I am praying for you Pat and Cheryl and your family.
Jim was a good friend and colleague Jim kept his coworkers entertained with his knowledge, his stories, and his sarcasm. I can only imagine the joy Jim’s family got from him.
I miss Jim every day. There is a void that cannot be filled. I love Jim, and I always will.
There are no words to describe how I felt when I was told you passed away on the 21st. I have so many good memories of you and valued you as an employee when you worked for me. I know this has to be very hard on your family and I pray that they can find comfort that you aren’t suffering anymore and in a better place. I will always cherish the memories of company parties, after work gatherings, etc. Rest in peace dear Bev!
I just heard of Divot’s passing from a former Joint Forces Staff College colleague. As “CAPT Jerauld” he was more than my boss, he was a kind, thoughtful, and bright friend. I fondly recall the conversations we had; like talking with an old friend. He will be missed. Fair winds and following seas Divot.
I’ll always have you with me ?. I have to keep telling myself that your aches and pains are gone but promise your family never thought of you as a burden. You made us all so proud of how far you came. I know you see now how much we all loved you and how broken we are without you. I’m forever grateful that we shared 18 years and had 2 wonderful boys together. Rest Easy Baby, my love for you will never fade. xoxo
We always will love and miss you. The stories with your spin on them are priceless and will be here forever.
From margarita stories to Christmas stories.YOU OWNED THEM ALL YOUR WAY.
The BEST AND MOST LOVED BROTHER EVER AND , I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO SAY YOU ARE MINE. JENNY LOU LYGB
We all will miss and love you.Till we meet again LOU, LYNN, JUNIOR LYGB
Jack will be missed. He was my mentor at LV. I learned a lot from him. He was my birthday buddy. To his family, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this painful time.
RIP my good friend…..
Jim was one of my most loved childhood friends and I never tired of all the great times and stories we shared over the years-he will keep everyone entertained in heaven and I am so sorry for the family’s loss-he was a great guy
Your Mom was a friend, a wonderful teacher, who truly cared for her students, and an asset to Kempsville High School. She also loved and was very proud of her own children. May her memory be a blessing to you.
My condolences to Ruby’s family. I was saddened to hear of her passing. Ruby was my mentor when I was training to be a Master Gardener and we became friends. We’d meet up for lunch every once in awhile and always caught up with each other at the Update Meetings. She was a person interested in many cultures whether it was belly dancing or yoga classes. We lost rack of each other with the COVID pandemic. I will miss her kindness. Rest well Ruby.

I went to high school with Priscilla for 4 years at Glynn Academy in Brunswick Ga . Priscilla was a very sweet, kind and beautiful girl. I have nothing but wonderful memories of her in high school. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go to the family and friends……Rev. Gary W. Fouche’, Brunswick Ga
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Paul was such a wonderful character and will be truly missed. I have many beautiful and hilarious memories of him. Once he visited me in the outer banks bringing donuts and whiskey at 8am. You just had to love him.
Met Bob for the first time in 1977 when he was in The Netherlands for an exercise with my airforce squadron. Since then he and our families met several times in the USA and in The Netherlands. We will remember Bob as a very friendly man and an ideal colleague to work with.

SWEET DREAMS FOREVER,SEE YOU SOON.
We are so sorry to lose the presence and friendship of Priscilla but know she is in a better place and at peace. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
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. My sincere condolences ! x
Priscilla I know you will be sadly missed by all that knew you, in school you were such a sweet friend. I know all the hearts of those that knew you is so sorry to hear of your passing. I know I am. Prayer’s to your Family. Many Prayers to you all all the good times we shared.
I was so happy she followed me into Nursing. We were certified in some of the areas. I’m sure she was excellent. I loved her very much and their boys. I pray for Joey & the boys everyday. I retired after 54 years.
I was so saddened to hear of Priscilla’s passing! She was a lovely person, gentle and compassionate. Priscilla also had a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed our conversations over the years. She truly loved working with her students and celebrated their progress. Her passing is a loss to all who knew her and I know her influence will live on in her students, family, and friends. I know she will live forever in the presence of God.
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, guide Leslie back home to heaven, and may God bless her wonderful family during this sad time. We offer our prayers and intentions to the Gayk family, and we celebrate the beauty, kindness, and love that Leslie left with us in memory.
My condolences go out to Jodi, Diane and Roger. I am embarrassed to say that I can not remember Priscilla’s daughter’s name, but my sorrow extends to her also. Please forgive my failing memory.
Dear Allison, Jody, Dianne and Roger,
Fred and I are so saddened by Pris’s loss, so many happy memories.
The service yesterday was lovely and it was so good to be together.
With deepest sympathy, Fred and Alli
Jim has been a dear & life long friend to me. With the loss of Jim there is much pain & grief for all who knew and loved him. However, I’m certain that all of the love & precious memories we shared will far outlast the grief. Jim will forever live in my heart & in the hearts of everyone whose life he touched. ?
Sending our deepest sympathy to Cindy family! I, Gloria Russell worked at Tignor Dental Clinic, Ft. Eustis with Cindy. Cindy was a great person, showed support and very friendly to all! As you grieve the loss of this beautiful lady, please know that those of us that knew her grieve with you!
Praying for comfort,
Gloria and Gregory Russell
Williamsburg, VA
I can’t believe she’s gone. She was one of my moms besties. She was a great support to me when mom passed a few months ago. She spoke her mind and loved her Lord fiercely. She is celebrating reuniting with family and friends. My prayers are with the family
It has been 20 years since I had seen Kelly yet it seems just like yesterday. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Wishing his family and friends strength during this difficult time.
Kecia & family,
I had the opportunity to meet Bob before the pandemic. He was such a gracious host & quite the gentleman. A bright and shining star with lots of stories to share.
Please accept my condolences for for loss.
Sandy Kinchen
I worked with Bob at FSI, took my first class as a new employee with Bob, an outstanding Instructor. Years later as the day would end, Bob and I would reminisce about the Forest Service. I flew lead aircraft in Pennsylvania Fire Season many years ago so we had many a discussion together. I always considered the Western area of the country the Pros and we were the amateurs, when I told that to Bob he laughed and said I was right and I laughed all the way home.
When we met Glen 25 years ago, we quickly learned that he was impossible not to love. He was so much fun to be with, to talk to and to watch the boys’ play baseball. His stories were always entertaining and informative. He was very special to us and we will miss him very much. Our prayers go out to all of his family and close friends.
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??????
Shannon
My Deepest Sympathy to
Kristie and the entire family.
My thoughts, hugs and prayers .
I am so very , very sorry for your heartbreaking loss .
Ann Johnson and family.
Anderson, SC .
Papa ❤️ My heart has a huge hole that can never be filled ~ I am so thankful for the years I had with you and the stability you provided me with . You and I were so close and I will always cherish the days we spent together! Your memory will live on forever and I promise no one will ever forget you as you asked me that 3 times a week❤️ Your heart had a void since 2007 when Nana passed away ~ I know you made your final destination home in the house of the Lord and in the arms of the love of your life – Thank you Papa for making a difference in my life and the lives of my children – love you always ❤️⭐️
To Beth’s family and friends, our thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a great friend that truly would have done anything for us. Akeyla, Nykira, and I are still reeling from the impact of her passing. Such a tragic loss for us all. We will always cherish the love and kindness that she consistently showed us. Our sincerest condolences.
It was truly a blessing and honor to know Beth and see her be a light for any person she came in contact with. Beth was there for me in the most difficult times and best times. And I am forever grateful for her unconditional love and friendship. My heart goes out to Beth’s family and friends. I pray for peace, strength, and comfort for you all.
Thank you for being the best Papa in the entire world to me and my children. Life is short, you may have only had us by the hand for a little while but we will forever hold you in our hearts ❤️
My heart is with all of Beth’s family and friends during this difficult time. My favorite thing about Beth was that she inspired others to be the best versions of themselves because of how kind and honest she was. She saw the beauty in everything. We are all lucky to have gotten to know her and love her.
Praying for you Sonni and your family right now as you step forward in faith in uncharted Territory of grief over the loss of your precious Momma.
She inspired us all….you ALL have! And so forever thankful to have known her, to know you, and the privilege to pray you all through this journey. Praying God will comfort you all in very deep felt ways each and every day! I am so very sorry for you all’s huge loss, but also so thankful you have each other’s backs to love and support each other through these days ahead!
I know she is finally fully healthy, fully out of any pain now, and the imprint she left behind can never be erased! Her words and videos encouraged me in so many ways on so many days that I struggled, and will forever be thankful to Jesus for Mrs Stommel and how God used her to impact me and so many countless others even in the heart of her sickness she kept fully living, kept encouraging, kept loving and lifting others up in prayer in a way that only she could with Christ’s strength!
Beth was always a smiling face and a kind word. I so enjoyed working with her. My heart aches for her family and friends. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. She will be missed ?
I am so surprised and sorry to hear about Andrea‘s passing. We spent so many good times together in Florida especially at Busch Gardens with Kwame. My sincere condolences to the family. God bless you all.
Bill, it is with such sadness that we offer our condolences for the loss of your sweet wife, Pam! Our prayers are for God to supernaturally hold you up during this time of grief and give you unimaginable strength! Psalm 34:18, “ The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help!
Sincerely, Dan and Becky
Jennifer and Joey were my best friends since 1974 in High school and we always stayed in contact. His Mom and Dad treated like family. We send our Love and Prayers for the Family. My God Bless you all on this day and always.
What a wonderful person that Mary Stommell. Charlie’s sister. Sister to many Carlsens and then husband John and children and grandchildren. Always a delight to be around. Very thoughtful and spiritual. She led the way in many dimensions. Glad I got to meet you.
The last time Butch and I spoke, he knew his time was short. He was a student in my Seamanship Course and earned the “S” grade in the United States Power Squadrons. I am sorry to learn of his passing and hope his loved ones had the opportunity to say their personal goodbyes. Fair winds and following seas my friend for this journey.
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Rev. 21:4
My Condolences to Andrea’s family and friends
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!
We look forward on the other side one day to say, “Hello my friend”. We cherish the times we spent together camping and with your family back in the days. Even though we didn’t keep up with each other too much over the years we have fond and happy memories to remember. May God bless your family as they carry the torch and honor the life of a wonderful child of God. We love you all. The Joaquim family.
So sorry to hear of Andrea’s passing. We were her neighbors for the past 2 years. I will miss our passing each other in the mornings as we walked. On those mornings that I thought it was “too cold” or raining and decided NOT to walk, there was Andrea out there making her trek around the neighborhood. Rest in Peace sweet neighbor.
Well all your suffering has come to an end . The only suffering now is in the hearts of the ones you left behind . You were cut short in this life my brother . I hope you made it to the other side and are with our brother Brian again and all that have left befor us . I sure do love and miss you my brother and life long friend . may you rest in peace steve. until we meet again say hello to all for me . Dave
I just saw the notice of Butch’s passing in today’s Baltimore Sun. I’m so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Butch in Perry Hall and he was a good guy. Many others in the class of ’77 felt the same way about him. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
John this is Pam Wheelhouse❤ So very very sorry to hear this news!! May God bless and sustain each of you during this difficult time!❤ Hugs from afar!!
It’s hard to believe her shining light and bright smile is gone, we were fortunate to have her smile and light with us for many years and I will cherish those memories forever.
My sincere condolences to Andrea’s family. Andrea’s wisdom and kindness was so apparent when I first met her here at CNU. She will be missed. Stay strong.
Tracey Mitchell
My condolences to the Moore family & friends. I’ve known my friend since our early years in Texas as young adults. We’ve kept in touch since moving to Virginia. She’ll be missed. Love her Much! ?❤??⚘
Mark–Rest In Peace, My Dear…I am so heart broken that you were taken from us so young. I hope you are now with your Mom. I will miss you more than than words could ever say…Love You Always!!!❤?
I met Andrea 40 years ago and we have been friends since that day. Her radiant smile kept the sun shining around her and you felt her glow. We were fortunate to be stationed at 2 bases together. Over the years we were separated by miles and distance but our connection stayed strong. She will missed and forever in my heart. The last words I said to her a week ago were Luv ya and that will never change. Rest in Peace my sister
Life moves on in cycles, nothing stays the same forever. No moment of joy is permanent, then no sorrow can be either, Andrea Joy:Gone from my life, forever in my heart,May peace that surpassed understanding be with the Moore family and all those that loved her. Feed the flames, keep it burning give it love and watch it grow,
Till we meet again.
Peace!
Lorna M
My dear sweet friend and the best work-out partner ever! My heart is so heavy right now and I will miss you dearly-your laugh, your bright smile and upbeat personality-one of the most positive people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and I learned so much from you. My deepest condolences to your family. Keep smiling in Heaven.
I first met Andrea over 50 years ago, having the good fortune of spending time with the Moore family. Andrea was always easy going, grounded and confident in who she is, just a great person. I surely will miss her. May she rest in peace. Rosemarie and Stan Taylor

I love you Butch and will always remember you as a father. You have been a part of my life for 19 years and will always hold a special place in my heart! I will never forget the last words you told me over our phone conversation. I’m so glad I have so many voicemails saved to hear your voice when I miss you. I love you and know I will see you again. I’m glad you are walking the beach with Chesy again!!! Fly high!!
❤️Liz
We loved and knew you 19 years Butch. You’re a Father to my three children. Heaven has another angel. Kiss Aunt Sylvia, Uncle Frank, and Chessie for us all…Robyn Gardner
Frank. Lower right hand corner. You’re my brother one year older. The middle of three. You taught me how to ride a bicycle when I was little and you taught me how to make vegetable soup a few years ago and I don’t know how many things in between. You’re gone too soon. I thought we would have more time together. I love you and miss you! Save a place for me in Heaven!
Frank and I became friends in high school so we have known each other over fifty years.Even though we lived many miles apart we always kept in touch. Frank was a great brother to Ron, Violet, Cliff and Ruby. I never met his children but I know he loved them. Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed. Al Rinker
We are sorry for the loss of a dear and precious neighbor. Donna was a gracious lady who laughed easily and was a bright presence in our neighborhood. We will miss her.
R.I.P. JJ …I will miss our chats at The Conventions and playing Pass The Ace in The Hospitality Room …Condolences to your family at this sad time …Sylvia Wainio LA FRA PNC Unit 24, Annapolis MD 🙏🏻🙏🏻
A quiet, humble, man, Shipmate, of few words but sincere. He led where he could be of help, assistance, but never forgetting his past as a mentor, coach, and leader. JJ, Rest in Peace, and look down on us, giving a nudge, when needed for sure. 🙁
Heartfelt condolences to the family. She was a light and her presence and laughter is unforgettable. I loved working with her. She hired me 20 years ago so I also have her to thank for my place at CNU. I learned from the best. She was one of a kind and I miss her often. Soar high my friend-see you again one day— in Glory.
One of my favorite cousins. We both had the same taste in movie stars, love me some Kiefer Sutherland. Cheryl used to kid she was Elizabeth Taylor because of the number of times she was married. She definitely had Surber blood in her veins, plants everywhere and could grown them from a seed or cutting. Tell mama and the family love you.
Very sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing.. I knew her through her brother Mike. Very nice lady who fought a courageous battle until the end. Thoughts and prayers to the Davidson family.
Dearest Winston, I am so very sorry to read of your Mom’s passing. Somehow I felt compelled to drop you a note of condolence. I remember a bit about your mom, she was always so sweet and welcoming. I have you and your family in my prayers. Let the wonderful memories of your mom carry you through this difficult time. I know all too well how hard it is to say goodbye to your mom, you will always miss her, but the days will eventually be filled with smiles and fond memories of her. With blessings, Kim
Judy was my neighbor as a child and my very first friend when my family moved to Virginia Beach in 1968. She was older and wiser and her mom was so sweet to me. My condolences to the family and friends. Rest easy, Judy Lannon.
Jane,
What an amazing man it sounds like your father was! And so handsome. You must have been so proud to be his daughter, and how very proud of you he must have been❤️
May God grant you all His grace, peace, and enduring love during this difficult time.
Love,
Todd and Kathy Zaun
Caitlin, Very sorry to learn of your mom’s passing and know she will be greatly missed. Her spirit lives on in you and your family. Grateful to Kathi for serving as Lector and Eucharistic Minister at many of the Masses at St. Mary’s Cemetery. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Cheryl was a good friend and like family to me. Her kindness and friendship was such an important thing to me I will never forget her. Rest in loving peace my friend.
My fondest memories of Aunt Lillian were her big hugs, her beautiful smile and how much she loved her family and cared for them! I always think of her when I see a can of Tab!! Rest In Peace beautiful soul!! Mary Lee & family
The loss of Grammy’s precious soul will not be carried with grief but with joy. We will carry the energy and love she had to share with us daily. It is with compassion, kindness, and empathy I will bring her awe-inspiring compassion and clarity to my life and the loved ones we shared. I want to carry her light into the relationships I have and will have so that she can continue to show her dedication and hope for what this world can be. Words fail where actions prevail, but Grammy showed up and showed each of us how to be a force for good through communication and courage.
Sending love, hugs and prayers of peace to Ron’s family and friends. He was a true gentleman, who always had a smile in his heart. He will truly be missed.
Dear Jerry and family,
Ed and I are so sorry to learn of Shirley ‘s passing and send our heart felt condolences to all of you. We enjoyed seeing both of you at the few class reunions we were able to attend. May the Lord comfort you in this time of grief. Much love,
Ed and Phylis Gee
Dear David:
I knew your lovely, delightful mother from the Ladies Bible Study at the Chapel. It was such a pleasure knowing her! She proudly spoke of you often. I have been praying for her for a very long time….several years, I believe! I know she’s with the Lord now. I am so sorry for your loss. I, along with you many others will miss her. God bless you, David. May He be your comfort and strength. You are in my prayers.
In Christ, Pat Lane
I’m deeply saddened to hear of Shirley passing. We knew each other from the dog club & pet therapy visits. Wishing the family peace and strength during this difficult time. Warmest, Tami O’Connell.
Jerry, our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Every time that we were able to get together through the years, Shirley was always elegant, gracious and so in love with you. Please know that our thoughts are with you.
Jerry, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.. You will always have wonderful memories of all the happy times you and Shirly had together and with your children and grandchildren. We always enjoyed the times we were able to get together.
With our deepest sympathy, Carl and Janet
Uncle Lou will always be remembered as the most loving and energetic uncle in our family! From singing to dancing with all of us at weddings, he had a way about him that made us feel special and loved very much. May he rest in the arms of Jesus and enjoy singing praises to God every single day of his eternal life. He will be truly missed by all of us.
Dear Winston – I’m so sorry for your loss and saddened to learn the news about Donna in the newspaper. It was a loving tribute for a lovely lady. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during such a sad time as this. With sympathy, Jeff Barbour
My heart is saddened, Jerry, hearing that Shirley’s course on earth is done. But it was truly well done; you two were perfect together. Joyce and I enjoyed your company, when we served with y’all, and your continued friendship over the years. Please know that I share your sorrow. Your family is in my prayers each day. Dick, D-2
I lived with her for a bit and absolutely loved💘her to death. She was so sweet to my son Sean and I. My heart will always ache for her. She will definitely keep Jesus on his toes with her sense of humor. Connie, I will treasure our friendship and think of you daily as I always have. I will love 💘 and miss you deeply!! Your friend……Carla Moore🙏🙏
I can only hope that towards the end someone was with her. I had been looking for her and kitty for some time. Only ever saw family once and it doesn’t sound like anybody did much for her at the end either or that kitty was still around herself. I wished I had known. I definitely would have taken her in. She was like a mother to me and such a sweetheart. How very tragic. Nothing beautifully written about such a long wonderful life. GOD BLESS you Connie. All my love 💘 to you ma 😘😄💜🙏
Jerry you and your family are in our prayers. May the many wonderful memories you made over the years comfort you and knowing that so many peoples lives were touched by Shirley also be a comfort and blessing to you.
Linda and Jack Radgowski (Aunt Marie and Uncle Ted’s Daughter)
All of us here at Parker Reigle Insurance send our deepest condolences to Stacy and the rest of the Bollman family. We all loved speaking with her and everyone always commented about what a sweet lady she was. June and I greatly regret that we did not get the chance to take her to lunch again. John & June Reigle
Mary, my heart is breaking for you and your wonderful family. It is tragic to lose a loved one before their time. I pray that God will bless you all in immeasurable ways.
Patty was a lovely, kind and compassionate lady. She helped many of us who had lost children work through our grief. She had always said that we were only a breath away from them. I know she is now with her beloved son, Michael. Our loss is heaven’s gain. Eternal rest grant unto Patty , O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May Patty and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Aunt Kay I will miss you along with tons of other family and friends. There is noone quite like you cuz you were so special and and unique. I wish I could have seen you at least one more time here on earth but I will see you again. I know you are happy to be in heaven with God, Uncle Dennis and all others that have gone to heaven. Heaven gained another angel when you left us. Love and miss you – till we meet again your neice, Terri
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. She seemed like a wonderful woman. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. She us with our Lord and will hurt no more.
Dear Barbara, Brenda, Bret and Family –
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.
Carolyn

This is hard cause it just don’t seem right . I still see you drinking your tea and watching the game channel. When I enter the house in the morning the first thing I said was good morning my love and before I left I would say see you later dad. To say father Inlaw when speaking about you didn’t seem right . You was like a dad to me. The laughter and lessons will never be forgotten . Your shake a lot Brandi will miss you but so understands that grandpa will always love her and watch over her. Bryan , Brandon and Breanna want to let you know you have some strong grandchildren. The love and smiles you left behind will always grow. As they say hey grandpa see you later. Your son this hit hard. I know you heard his words felt his tears and listened to those giggles . I don’t know if this is what I was suppose to write but my heart lead the way. LOVE YOU ALWAYS MY LOVE AND SEE YOU LATER DAD..
Mary our prayers go out to you and the family during this time let GOD hold you and each family member in his arms and give you strength and peace in all the days to come.
Sorry to learn to learned had died. I knew her when we were in college. She and my husband were p.e. majors. Kept in touch for a while. Anne was a good person and a good friend.
Love you Mr. B! You were such an amazing person, husband, and father. I am thankful and grateful for God placing you in my life! Rest easy till we meet again.
What an incredibly strong, kind woman. I won’t forget her eyes. Something about the way her eyes connected brought you a peaceful feeling. She was a genuine angelic soul. She will be missed.
Patty…you are a remarkable lady. An inspiration to many. I will always cherish your memory and the kindness and support you gave me. I will miss you but am happy you are with your son. You were right….we are only a breath away. I will never forget you.
Brian, I only got to meet you (and Hannah) once, when your relationship with Heather was new. But I loved hearing about the joy you brought to Heather and watching your little family grow. I’m so sorry that you had to leave so soon.
A wonderful man whom I had a privilege of meeting through his wife Linda Mathias (my friend and flight instructor). He will be deeply missed by this soul until I see him on the otherside.
I have rewritten this so many times. There is no way of saying everything I want about you. You had such a kind and beautiful soul. You didn’t take any bull from anyone. You ruled the roost but you were so kind and so gentle in every way. This still doesn’t feel real. Thank you for teaching me so many things and so many life lessons. My favorite memory as a kid was when I ran up to your house and asked what you were doing and I was acting like a smartie you immediately said to me “You are just like your mama” I responded with “We’ll I am her daughter”. So many memories that run through my head but that will always be my favorite. I will always cherish the memories I had growing up with you and will always be thankful and blessed you were so kind and such a beautiful friend to my Grammy and my mama!! Till we meet again.
Dear Patty,
You were one of my closest friends from Compassionate Friends! I
will always cherish your support for the loss of my daughter, Candy, while I tried to support you for the loss of your son, Michael. But now you and Michael are together in Eternal Peace
with no more pain! I will always remember that you told me,
“We are only a breath away from our
Loved one!” That statement continues
to give me so much comfort!
I wish that you and I could have one
more conversation or one more
entertaining lunch together!
God Bless You Patty!
Rhonda I am so so sorry I live right down the road I did not know your mama had pass she was a wonderful person and she loves Jesus and loved you and the girls
When I lived in Richmond many years ago and worked for the women’s pages at the News Leader,I took a class from Charley at R.P.I , as it was known then, and he was a wonderful mentor. 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.
Maggie and Don Kerrigan
nI am crushed by the loss of a beautiful, witty and caring artist I was so lucky to have shared space with over the years she has been at the Artists Gallery. 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.
Robert Hull, Northern Virginia Community College on
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.
Although it has been some years since I have seen Annie, I remember what an intelligent, active, knowledgeable, vivacious person she was —always a pleasure to be around. She and Charlie were an extraordinary couple-very few like them. Major Reynolds
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.
Hank was a special friend and co-worker at Kingsmill for the past 20 years, worked together at the Classics, played golf and had a great relationship. I will miss him , but remember our great times together. Rest in peace my friend.
I knew Brian a little bit at UVA and most recently spent some time with him in South Carolina a few years back with his A E Pi brothers. We weren’t close, but he made those few days a lot of fun with his kindness and witty banter. My sincerest condolences to the Hunt family.
-Dave Forbes
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,
Losing our family members is a part of life but nothing makes it easy other than the fact that you can think about them in a better place healthy happy and without any pain. MamaKau will always be in a lot of people’s hearts. Prayers for your family, celebrate her life she deserves it.
As a former newspaper carrier supervisor of the Ledger Star , I wish to offer my condolences to Robert Zongolowicz and his family on the passing of his father, Michael Zongolowicz. Robert’s uncle , ” CJ ” was a good friend of my friend, Andrew Heidelberg of the Norfolk 17. Earth has no sorrow which heaven cannot heal.

My Sister Cousin Ann Webb McDowell and I were very close.
The times we spent together were like special jewels. The memories we made together will be with me always.
It is with great sadness that I learn Cousin Evelyn has passed on to her reward. She was so sweet and caring. I shall miss our phone conversations. My deepest sympathies to Donnie and all her friends.
My First Born…. My Beloved Son…no words can describe the love I have for you. There’s a hole in my heart that only a mom can feel. I pray that you are in PEACE. May you fly with the Angels. I love you and miss you soo much💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚

Dear Achor family. I pray a blessing for you. My deepest thoughts and I wanted to share that Mick was man with a smile that could light up a room. A loyal husband, devoted father and all around amazing friend. Love you Mick, we will watch out for Lee for a little while. ❤️
What a great tribute to Mick. I hate that y’all lost him too soon but I know you have comfort in your faith and the love and support of family and friends.
Today, I was driving home from work and I thought about calling you and then I realized that I couldn’t. I miss our conversations about my work day and your neighborhood gossip during my commute home. You loved talking on the phone and telling me repeat stories not realizing you already told me. I remember that I used to tease you and tell you to tell your stories to the telemarketers that would call. They get paid to talk on the phone. How I wish we could have more repeat phone calls. I love you momma.
I love you momma more than I can ever put into words. You always said that I was your “rock” but the truth is you taught me how to be that “rock”. You taught me to be strong and persevere no matter what life threw at me. I will continue to be that “rock” for everyone that is dear to me. I love you momma. Thank you for everything you did to make me the mother that I am today. May you Rest In Peace my sweet Milly.
Words cannot express all the blessings Mama Kay has given to all of us. I am so grateful to have shared so many good times with her💖 This is a woman who would keep you straight if you needed it and was always available to listen no matter what she had going on. Sending my love and prayers to all of you💗
My son, my best friend I will love you always in my heart and spirit. You taught me alot about caring. You will always be a part of me. “MEISTER” will continue your loving spirit. LOVE YOU DAD
Lee, we are deeply sorry for your loss. Words fall short in a time like this, but our prayer is that Jesus is with you, His arms around you, in every moment. May His comfort be abundant. We love you!
Dear Bob, Lori, Jill, Joseph, and family,
I am saddened to learn of Mike’s passing. I knew him for many years and remember his many years at 7-11. He was truly an icon there. It has been a tough couple of years lately. I know you all loved him and will miss him terribly.
My heartfelt condolences for your loss.
Our hearts are breaking for all of you! We are so profoundly sorry for your loss…praying for Gods comforting arms to hold you close in this difficult loss of your son! Xoxo
My Marcus was one of the most beautiful people I have ever known. He was so loving, and his family was his everything. I feel extremely blessed that he was brought to me as my nephew.He was so talented and blessed with a beautiful heart. I will forever miss him, and I will never forget what he did for me in my life.A piece of my heart went with him. I love you Marcus. Rest In Peace.❤️
So glad to have known Mick. He was always very welcoming and had a good story to tell. All my love and prayers for Lee and family. May the Lord comfort you with His Love and Peace.
Your smile,silly laugh your jokes and grate personality will be missed BIG TIME.My heart was broken when I learned of your passing.I will sadly miss you. LOVE YOU MAN.UNCLE JUNKWEE

My sincerest condolences to his wife Joanne and all of Ed’s loved one’s. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
To my sweet and loving Uncle Billy, we already miss you and what you stood for your kindness, your compassion, your spirit , your deep love for your Dallas Cowboys, I will always remember your love for Tara & I. Prayers and condolences to the Goad family
RIP… Uncle Billy no more pain.
Sending Prayers and love to the Family! I had the pleasure to work with B for the last 13 years. He always had a witty remark and a sense of humor that would make you think. Brian you will be sorely missed.
Truly one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. Brian was so funny and always so pleasant. He taught me a lot during my time at Optima Health and he will be missed. My condolences to his family.
Uncle Billy seems strange to say farewell because you were three years younger than me, more like a little brother. The memories that we have shared will forever be engraved in my heart. We will miss you for now so keep the light on. Our deepest love and sympathy to Sandra and your children and grandchildren. You are at rest. 💕
Brian was an amazing person and I am so saddened to hear of his passing. He was someone I always looked forward to seeing, and he was loved by everyone who knew him at Optima. Prayers and positive thoughts to his family. We love you Brian.
Marcus, Although we have great sorrow in our hearts, we know that you have achieved your destiny. Keep the door open, and we will see you down the road. With love and affection always and forever.
Siti and Gidi
Scott and family we knew your dad for over 50 years and were there the day you were born he was so proud of you. May you find comfort in your memories and may he rest in peace..love the magyorosi
I will so miss our conversations. Definitely a kindred spirit in my life that will not be replaced. I look forward to the day when we meet again on that beautiful crystal shore. Thanks for being salt and light in this dark and lost world my brother.
Mary, David & Donna
Its with great sadness to hear of your moms passing. May God heal your souls within the coming months. I remember all of us as children spending weekends together just having laughs & Fun. Mom (Betty Stallard) was heartbroken to hear about your mom as they were childhood best friends Hugs and love to everyone
I fondly remember hanging out with Joel and his pal Jody Patterson on Mantle Lane in

We were saddened to hear of Sarah’s passing. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family. We have such fond memories of Frank and Sarah and the wonderful times my parents, Gus & Goldie, spent with them in Thalia. They welcomed us to the neighborhood with open arms and became such great neighbors and friends over the years. I know Sarah will be missed by all that new her.
Jim and I are saddened to hear of Sarah’s passing.We shared the sad history of losing our sons.We were able to talk about that loss and how it affected each of us. We will miss Sarah.
We miss you Mona! It breaks my heart to realize you are actually gone…but you are in a better place. We will do everything in our power to make sure your children are good, and they will ALWAYS know how much you loved them. Rest In Peace sis. Amen
Karen,
We are devastated to learn of your mothers passing! Frank had been trying to reach her and couldn’t…now we know why. She was an amazing sorority sister and a very good friend to both my parents, and to my dad after mom’s passing. She visited often and called often just to check on him. She was a godsend after he went on Hospice. Every visit cheered him up. Now the 3 of them are again having lunches…
There really is no words of comfort for you at this time. But I know soon your heart will be filled with many memories. With much love, Judi and Frank~ 💕💔💕
I will see you in the next life, you left to soon my heart is aching my mind is filled with happy memories over shadowing my pain in my heart. I know your at peace you can rest and I will see you again. When you see the lord tell him I said hi
Ray n Diana thought so much of Eleanor. One of the kindest, most gracious southern woman you would ever want to meet. Usually had something humorous to tell a story about. Loved her southern drawl, n the way she spoke so lovingly about her God, husband, n son.
I had the pleasure of spending time with Mr. Steen. I didn’t have the opportunity to know him long but thoroughly enjoyed his witty perspective. There are people who leave “heavy footsteps” in this world and then their are those who are like butterflies. They find a way in during the quiet moments and steal your attention with their grace. This was my experience with Mr. Steen. May his memories continue to bless his family.
“They say friends are the family we choose. Being chosen was the greatest moment of my life and when Mona passed, it was the worst moment of my life.”
You will be truly missed. With love and respect Alicia.
So sorry for the loss of such a sweet soul. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Harper and the rest of the family at this tough time.
To my dear friend, Phyllis Steen, wife of Harvey, and his children and grandchildren. I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Harvey. I know what a long and loving marriage he and Phyllis shared and how devoted they were to their children and grandchildren. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.
Diana and Chris Reed

R I P Eddie , never met the man , but got to know him threw charlotte , rose and others who knew him . A s much as he was loved by others he had to be a special person God Bless all his family and friends.
Sending Prayers to Rose and all of Eddie’s Family and Friends. Eddie was a very kind, loved his coffee, and chatting. He will be missed by many locals where he resided.
I will sorely miss my oldest best childhood friend, from the days we climbed trees together in Ashland in the 1940s to hanging out on the Namassin deck with Charley & my Bud in the 1990s. The pandemic did us out of a visit during which she promised we could binge watch the old home movies Dr. Webb obsessively took & which Will (I think) resurrected onto a DVD. (But I may try to come for the memorial.) What a gift to the planet was Ann. Love to you Jenny, Will, Catie & all, from San Francisco.
I will miss calling you, spending time with you and riding around in the car. I will ALWAYS keep you in my heart. I will always smile when I hear Buck Cherry Crazy Bitch cause I know you loved that song. Love you ALWAYS
My Aunt Sallie was truly one of a kind . She had a flair for jewelry, fashion and hair styles that were all her own . She made the best southern fried chicken with gravy and I’ve never found a recipe to compare . She loved her family and will be missed .. Rest In Peace 🙏
Kris, I miss you every day, think of you almost always and continue to admire the strength you showed fighting your enormous fight. I was honored to be by your side and I am grateful for the years we spent together- nearly 9 of them as man and wife. Thank you. I love you and I miss you every day.
Claudy and family, You know my father “Dusty” and mother, :Lorraine and I loved Tommy for his strength and gentle spirit . (Not to mention his lifeguard good looks…in my case) You were quite a pair, especially as Santa and Mrs Claus in later years.
My dearest sister & best friend, I wasn’t ready but you couldn’t wait. We’ll be ok and together soon. Give everyone a kiss for me. Always your sister. I love you.
Although we haven’t seen each other in awhile, it doesn’t make the loss any easier, he will be greatly missed. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to share a part of life with him. Prayers and comfort to the family 💕
Deepest Condolences. Love this beautiful testimony. Aunty Toni is beautiful inside and out and it is reflected on how loved she is. Hugs, love and prayers from Guam!
You will forever live in my heart and my memories of you always brings a smile to my face. Thanksgiving and New Years were always special because of you and I am so blessed to have had you as my aunt. Always Loved and forever missed. Rest in Peace.
Rose and family, We are so very sorry to hear about Eddie. He lived life to the fullest as long as he could and now he’s with Jesus and no more pain. Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
i miss you so i miss your sweet smile your laugh, all the funny stories you told us, you always had us laughing i will always have those memories of you Rest in Peace your loving nephew
Dear Phyllis,
So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. I remember you so well at Chesapeake Social Services and how you loved Harvey. I am praying for your comfort at this time. Cookie Roberts Palacios😪❤
I remember Rachel so well as a student in Fairfax County Schools. She was a sweet girl with her own brand of spunk. Her parents and brother were devoted to her success in school and meeting the challenges of a hearing loss. I so regret that I lost track of her through the years especially now to learn that she suffered and succumbed to breast cancer. It seems that in her relatively short life she accomplished so much with her nursing and winning the hearts of so many people. My prayers go out to her loved ones.
Mrs. Gurnee was always there for a hug. A constant in the neighborhood for 50 years! I will miss her smile. Thinking of the Gurnee family. My condolences.
I met Kathy at CCUMC. She was a treasured friend to my daughter and I. The first Sunday I attended church after my mother’s passing, I could not stop the flow of tears no matter how much I tried. Kathy and Suzanne wrapped their arms and hearts around me and started the healing. After church, Kathy treated my daughter and I to breakfast. 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. 💞
Condolences sorry for your loss – Ronnie Messer,I am the second son of Eula Patterson Messer and Preston of Albertville,AL We just found out about it sept 17:
Bye Mom. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and don’t look back. We will be right behind you. To us it will seem to be an eternity before we are together again, but to you, it be a blink of an eye. I love you. Gail
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.
I remember Lenny well. Although I was two years behind, we were Sigma Nus together and enjoyed a common intererst in wrestling. He was a successful intramural wrestler. Good memories. RIP, Lenny.
Intrepid Hospice extends heartfelt sympathy to the family of Elizabeth Butler. We are truly sorry for the loss you have experienced and want you to know that you are in our hearts and in our prayers. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of Mrs. Butler’s care team and for allowing us to make this journey with you during her illness. We are here for you if you should need any additional emotional or spiritual support. May God continue to bless you, keep you and comfort you during this time and beyond.
My world stopped turning today. My wife Marylee Sawyer passed from this world at 0300 on Sept.11, 2021. I now give her body and soul back to God and give thanks to him for her LOVE. “I’m a man Can’t you see what I am I live and breathe for you But what good does it do If I ain’t got you —-To love somebody
The way I love you.” Love Always Your Husband.
Sending my sincere condolences to all of you during your time of loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories of your mother…May she rest in peace.
Love, Terrilynne Cade
Theresa and I became friends while watching Wildearth. We chatted many times a week and had great laughs and chuckles and at times sadness. It became obvious to me she was a good person with a good heart. I miss her.
Theresa and I kind of lost track of each other over the years, but I remember the great conversations we had over Facebook back when she lived in California. I will cherish them forever. I’m so very sorry to hear of her passing and I will keep her and her family in my prayers. Rest in Paradise, Theresa. 💔🙏
Only knew her from her involvement in WildEarth live Safaris but admired her love for and knowledge of the African animals. I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope you know she will be missed in that online community! ♥️
Dear Family,
I’d like you to know how much I enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth, if only through the dental office. She was such a nice person and although nervous, always came with a big smile for me. She fought a valiant battle and still smiled. I know you will miss her terribly. I always enjoyed hearing about what the family was up to and getting to know a lot of you. You and Elizabeth are in my prayer intentions. Wishing you peace and love.
Dona Poole
We shared a lot of wonderful memories with John and Helen. Sending prayers to his Daughter and Son and their families through this difficult time. We loved them both. We are very sorry for your loss.
Ginny

I will miss you more than you know. I love you very much
Claudy, I am so sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. He was a great man who gave much to the children of this city. I know your heart is broken. Love, Joanne

Teresa,
Sending love, hugs, to you and your family. Uncle Alfred, was always so nice, and kind when we would come to visit. Heaven gained a beautiful Angel! Love you!
We were very saddened to hear of the death of our old friend Larry. In reflection of many pass fun times together we recall these times with love and affection. Peace be with you and the family during this difficult time.
I just found out about Jeffs passing. My deepest condolences. He was called upon way too soon, I know he will be doing some fishing up above. Rest easy Jefro. God Bless.
Elizabeth words cannot express how much you are Loved and will be missed. You are so beautiful inside and out, and smart beyond your years! You are by far, one of the strongest, bravest women I know. You definitely took after your Mom, who was was waiting to welcome you into that Heavenly place that is now Home…she rejoicing in your Love and both of you celebrating with Jesus. You are finally Home Elizabeth, no more pain nor sorrow for you. Thank God you are Home, but for those of us you leave behind it is such a sad, sad time. We mourn for our own loss, but celebrate your gain sweet Elizabeth. Rest in all the comforting arms that Love you there. 💖Leisa
My deepest condolences to the family . Mick was like a brother I never had . My parents and I knew when they moved into the neighborhood and my dad who was a Master Chief Boatswain mate in the United Coast Guard had long talks with Mick. I knew he was going to serve for our country. Thank You Mick for serving 22 years. I will definitely miss our talks and our laughs too. U will be deeply missed ✨🙏🏻✨

We light this candle in memory of a great man, father, husband, and friend. You will live on forever in our thoughts, hearts and through the memories we share with one another. Rest in Peace now my friend and forever fly high watching down on your beautiful wife Kim and your son Cohen. We will hold them up when you cannot.
So sorry my brother that you are no longer with us. We know that you are in good hands now in our Lord Jesus Christ. Lord watch over this wonderful family, we love you!
Mike was an amazing man and we miss him dearly. Thank you Mike for coming into our lives and offering joy, fun, loyalty, humor, friendship, and guidance. You are missed greatly. Until we meet again, good friend.
God please take care of Kim and Cohen and ease their broken hearts.
Our hearts go out to you, Kim and Cohen, for this loss of such a fantastic young man. We will always remember his sly, slightly crooked smile that always preceeded a humorous comment.
Our deepest sympathies, & condolences in your loss of Mike. May God’s love blanket you with comfort, & guidance, during this grieving time.
We are here for all of the support you may need.
Our family is so thinking of you and Cohen. We all love you and our thoughts and prayers are to put a blanket over you right now, in hopes that you can have a warm comfort somewhere during this time.
Kim and Cohen–we just read the news about Mike. We are in Tennessee now, but our hearts and love and thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. Mike was such kind, big-hearted, and lovable guy and we are so sorry to hear this news. Much love to you all–Jenn and Jon
Dear Louise, Chris, Alex, and Lon, I lived on Delaware Drive back in the 1960s and early 70s and babysat for you three boys when you were very young. The twins were 4, and Lon was a baby! I always enjoyed chatting with Louise and Fred; you were such a warm and interesting family. When I was searching for you today online, just thinking about the old neighborhood in Cleveland Heights, I came upon this obituary for your husband and dad–Fred. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss. He was a lovely man, and always had a kind word for the babysitter. I remember him encouraging me, and asking about my schoolwork. How proud he was of his three boys! You have my very deepest sympathy. xo
So sorry to find that George has passed on. He and Earl always liked to talk about their jobs – as like Sheila we would see the two of them riding their bikes together with Sheila leading the way. Sheila and I would always talk about our kids and what was going on with them. A special and unique couple who will be missed by many.
Lorne was one of the best Airmen I ever had the pleasure of working with during my Air Force career. He was always upbeat and he was an outstanding supply troop. I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Rest In Peace brother. Til Valhalla…
I’m am sorry to hear of Jay’s passing, we were good friends in the late 80’s. I remember him as a trusted friend and all around great guy. I’m sure he is missed by many.
Chris, Marti and I are saddened to hear of your mothers passing.
If we can be of assistance in any way please don’t hesitate to ask.
God Bless you and your family.
M+M
Cynthia…we have been praying for you snd your sons! Mike will always remember Chuck and your family. He will always be thankful for the friendship that he and Chuck had for a long time. Please let us know when there will be a memorial service. We would like to be there.
Deb and Mike Rasberry
Dear Lena,
I am so sorry to hear of Katrina’s passing.
We really loved her, especially Chris my oldest son who is 3 years younger but totally infatuated with Katrina. Please call me if you feel like. 719-321-6853. Your friend Dru
I am so sorry to hear your mom has passed away. I will always keep the memory of our knitting adventures in Cocoa Beach. She was the most talented knitter I have ever known. She will always be in my memory and in my prayers.
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 sheer breadth of my grandmother’s experience was mind-boggling and we were all truly gifted to have witnessed her.
My deepest condolences to the Entire family. I have struggled to find the words to express my feelings for a person who I truly could call a work friend. I literally just spoke with him a week ago and my heart is broken to hear of his passing. I will keep his wife, son and family lifted in prayer for Mike was always the life of the party. He’s smile and crazy laugh will be remembered for times to come. Rest in peace my friend, Gone to soon, but will never be forgotten. Until we meet again, May God Bless your family.
David certainly did enjoy shooting pool his whole life. Back in the 70’s, he use to come over and shoot pool with me in my parent’s garage. He was such a great guy will be sorely missed.
Pawnee family is forever. David was the irritating brother we all loved and got mad at. But we laughed through good times, weird times, sad times, and hard times- just like a family should. This Pawnee family raised me and my kids so the love is there always. Not goodbye David.. just so long for now. Katie we are always their for you and your family .. it’s the Pawnee way right. We love you all.
I’m so sorry to hear of David’s Passing. It has been many years since I last saw him but I remember him and Chuck and Jean, Priscilla and Jill well as they were all close family friends growing up. RIP David
David Orsargos
Will be forever loved and missed by so many. He always knew how to lighten up the day with his jokes and laughter.(He loved those knuckle sandwiches:-) )
He is forever an angel watching over his family, who we all know he loves so dearly.
From “The Nerd – Nicole”
My sincere condolences to Leslie and the family of David on the passing of our loved one and great friend I knew affectionately as David “O”. The great humorist and author, “Will Rogers” has two quotes I am familiar with that fit David Perfectly. One being “I never met a man that I didn’t like”. 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. We all do have great memories of our time with David, and memories last forever. May God bless you. Rest in peace my friend.
Tom Mullen
My dear friend, Marjo will be forever missed. We had so many wonderful times in high school and when I stood up for your wedding. It is with sincere condolences to Denny and the entire family on loosing such a beautiful lady. I will cherish the memories and pray for healing peace during this very sad time. Much love, Joanne Carpenter
I love you dearest Marjo! We had some good laughs. My life is richer having known you! I miss you already. Though I miss you dearly, I am comforted knowing that you are healed and with Jesus. We will help look out for Dennis.
On behalf of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service Association (NCISA). I would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family. Please know that during George’s years with NCIS he was a great asset. We are proud of his accomplishments and to the service he gave in the protection of the United States. Please know that the thoughts and prayers of his many friends in the NCISA are with you and your family.
I am very sorry for the passing of my friend and former teammate, David Orsargos.
We played for several years in the 50s and over Tidewater Senior Softball League and I remember well David’s skill at batting, running, and especially making seemingly impossible catches in the outfield.
Tony Smith, friend and teammate.
Our deepest condolences from Susan and I.
My mind always seems to wander to the holidays at Aunt Olinda’s home and all us kids and adults having a feast. The sense of family was so strong and comforting. Who can forget Uncle Tony shooting Santa off the roof! Those days of family and close comfort seem so long ago, but the memories remain so strong and fresh to me.
RIP to all who have gone before us.
I just found out you left this world. You will be missed greatly, but I’ll see you again someday. Dennis, I love you dearly. May God give all of you peace and comfort during this time of mourning.
Lynn and I were friends for many years and shared many wonderful experiences. The last two years have been very difficult for me because I knew that something was wrong but was unable to find out what it was. I loved her very much and have missed her terribly. I hope that Angie and John will find comfort in knowing that they had a wonderful mother who loved them so much and was so proud of them both.
Sherry, Michael and Jim :
I just learned of the heartfelt passing of my Godmother, Roselyn . I am so very sorry for your loss. May God’s blessings be with your entire family always and especially during this very difficult time.
With deepest sympathy and love ,
Patrick Hickey
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.
Recently heard at the rec center that Sally had passed away. I used to see her quite often at silver sneakers class Bow Creek. A real likable gal with dramatic hair color. May she Rest In Peace with God
Dear Jim, Julie and Family,
You guys always treated Momma very special. You were devoted to her. We enjoyed running into you at Mc Donald’s, one of Momma’s favorite places to hang. Momma lived a long time and it was wonderful to know that she got to see her granddaughter before she went to be with the Lord. We hope that with each passing day, your grief lessons just knowing that Momma is free of her imperfect body and that she is enjoying her time with God. Fondly, Ed and Edie
Oh Irvin…a million words and I can’t find one. You will be missed so much!! You filled such an empty place in Riley’s heart💕 I hope you watch over your precious penguin princess and reunite with the one who looked like you the most… rest in peace my friend!
Dear Carl and Julie, Just remembering how kind Bruce was to us when we came for Margie’s service. He opened his home to us; took us to lunch, then took time to show us around the Virginia Beach area. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Hazel & Joe

Although Nelda was only in my life for a very short period of time, she has always held a very special place in my heart. My prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your dear loved one.
Sally,
Our hearts are saddened with the loss of Ken. Our prayers are with you and all of your family. He was a great friend and neighbor and we will miss him dearly. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask, we will help in any way we can.
Dave and Michelle
Dear Mr. Stanley and Family,
Linda and I are saddened to learn of Brenda’s passing. She was a lovely person based on our conversations over the years. Please know that we’re thinking of you and your family.
Sincerely,
Linda Banks and Marjorie Feldman
My deepest condolences to you and your family on your loss. My positive thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during these difficult times.
to Joel’s family – please accept my condolences and sympathies. I worked with Joel at EVMS and thoroughly enjoyed his company. He was a kind and gentle man who gained the respect of all who were fortunate enough to have known him. He will surely be missed, but remember, he led a good life.
I am so sorry for your loss and ours. We loved Alan as a brother and friend. His kindness, generosity of spirit, and loving nature will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Sending all of you our heartfelt prayers and love.
Lorna and Steven
Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Saxton Family on the passing of Kenny (Big Red). Growing up right across the street from Red, we spent nearly every day from the ages of five through fifteen, growing up, playing, exploring, playing sports and getting into trouble. 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.
I consider Jim, part of our family. He was a good generous man. He donated money to my sister when hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. She sends her condolences. Jim will be missed by our family. He was loved by all of us. Jim rest in peace. I know you are in heaven. Carmen & Ray
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
Jim was a treasured and trusted friend. While I was only able to know him for just a few years, the friendship that he offered felt like a lifetime. His easy going manner and engaging ways of getting along with others are traits I sure hope to emulate. RIP, good sir! It was awfully good to know you.
It always gave me great pleasure to talk with Kathy at one of her mother’s family/friends summer meals. She was clever, insightful and talented. I’ll miss her. My love to all the family.
Joel Nathan King, aka George Washington & too many characters to name, Elder, Dad, friend…
The world has lost so much; such a wonderful example of how we’re supposed to behave. He loved He made every person he met feel significant with the way he engaged them on their “ground”. He was fair and helpful; he was generous with his time and skills. He was a really nice guy. Everyone I know that knew Joel has said how much they will miss him but I for one will try to immulate his way of being humble and helpful. Fly free Joel.
My sympathy to Joel’s family and friends. He was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed by all who knew him and who blossomed under his friendship. The entertainment world is lacking one more consummate professional! May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dear Joel!
Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Saxton Family on the passing of Kenny. We always enjoyed having him at our home helping us with various woodworking projects.
So very sad to hear about your Mom. Those of us who knew her loved her. She will be missed. We worked on many Maury reunions and looked forward to our Maury luncheons each month. My best wishes to her family. She is in good hands.
What a lovely obituary. I met her once at Curtis and Ellen’s house in Raleigh, and she was such a charming lady and conversationalist. It is a tribute to her that she had good friends she kept from 1st grade, the Larchmont Girls. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the family, including my good friends and former neighbors, Curtis and Ellen.
Stephanie was one of the most perfect friend a man could have had. Since Maury our group of friends have had a special bond placed on us. We all grew up with a childhood spirit that has stayed with us 70 years. Our group was blessed when she married Gilbert and his love for her added him at the head of the class. Life was enriched by the love of Gilbert and Stephanie. God Bless her. Sonny & Sandra Forbes
We are deeply saddened by the loss that you and your family have encountered. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the peace that you seek.
Much love and blessings always
Fadi and Nayla
A great man, A faithful Church member, A dear friend.

Dear Lisa, I don’t think I ever met your husband, but I can relate to your losing him at such a young age. Always enjoyed sharing pictures of his work. Hope you will be happy in your new life. Glad you will be there for your precious grandson and continue to post pictures of him. Time is a great healer. My best to your family. You and Kenny did good.
I want to extend my sympathies to Gilbert & family for your loss of Stephanie. I met her at Poplar Branch Baptist & loved her. When she moved to Va Bch I visited her. Saw her home when she bought it & saw the beautiful job she did decorating. Yes, she was so talented. She was so sweet & a joy to be around. I’m so sorry for your loss. She will.be missed by all who knew her..
I just wanted to say how sorry I am your mom passed away and tell you I am thinking of you and your family. I am pretty sure I never met your Mom but I am also pretty sure she lives on in you both in looks and personality. Since I know what a wonderful person you are Blair your Mom must have been the same way. I wish you and your family peace and comfort in the days/weeks/months ahead. Take care.
I had the pleasure of working with Joel on numerous film projects. He was a very sweet and caring soul. Always helpful and upbeat, he was a true gentleman. He was quite talented and I always enjoyed seeing him in action on set or on the big screen. I will miss seeing him again in person. Prayers to his family. RIP Joel.
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF STEPH – FROM MAURY HIGH TO THE DINNERS WITH STEPH AND GILBERT. SHE WAS A REALLY DELIGHTFUL HOSTESS AND A REMARKABLE COOK.
BUT EVEN MORE THAN ANY OF THE ABOVE SHE WAS A PERSON YOU WANTED TO BE WITH ON ANY OCCASION NO MATTER WHAT WAS INVOLVED. SHE WOULD MAKE ANYTHING A GOOD TIME.
I WILL GREATLY STEPHANIE!

John Busch was the finest boss I ever worked for in over 40 years. He was a prince among men. Patient, intelligent, and fatherly. As the Chief Staff Officer for Commander, Amphibious Squadron TWO, he had the presence of mind to let a handful of Lieutenants run the squadron. 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. We had the illusion we running things, but ever so quietly from behind the scenes, John Busch made sure everything stayed on track. He was a great boss and a great shipmate and friend. I will miss his wisdom and advice. May his memory be eternal.
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.
Aunt Stephanie was a wonderful caring person. Always smiling and such bright light in the family. She will be dearly missed until we meet again. God bless her and keep her. Love ya Peanut and Gail !
Sharing tales of those we’ve lost is how we keep from really losing them.
Sorry Rick to hear of your passing. My family will always remember the night you lent my teenage son a vest and tie so he could go to the school dance. I can still hear my daughter when she was little and we would pull into the driveway. When she would see you she would yell Rick,Rick and just had to tell you something very important. She could not get out of the car fast enough. You were loved by many.
Growing up in Windsor Wood with Kathy and Kara, Mr. Nolan was part of my childhood. I remember being impressed with his music collection especially his Fleetwood Mac albums. Sally and Jim seemed so young and hip. I also respected how Mr. Nolan had time for and would listen to me. 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. I was fortunate enough to tag along on a family trip to California to visit his mom. I still have so many great memories of San Francisco from that adventure. So sorry for your loss,
Mary Inman
I am very sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I have known him for over 50 years. We first met as graduate students at Washington State University. We both taught at Norfolk State University. When I left Norfolk State in 1977, my greatest sorry leaving my good friend. Jim was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He was a true intellectual, who always enjoyed academic debate.
Our deepest condolences. Lost too soon, but never forgotten. Our prayers are with your family. Say hello to Matt for me. Now there are 2 angels watching over us. Things will never be the same without you Marcus.
One of the sweetest people I ever had the pleasure of working with when he was a ferry boat captain. My prayers to the family. “Captain Morgan” will be missed.
Growing up, I knew Glenn more as Payten’s older brother. It shocks me, looking back, to note that he was less than two years older than I. I wish now I had taken the time to know him better . . . I look forward to reading other’s memories of Glenn in these pages.
Please know that, though our families have grown apart over the years, we still hold you close in our hearts, and our love and prayers are with you now.
Clearly, Glenn loved animals and, in light of that, we’ve made a donation to the Norfolk SPCA in his memory.
Late in learning about this loss. Quite a sweet lady and a wonderful family unit. Our heartfelt condolences to Donald and the family. Terribly sorry we did not know until so late. I will treasure having had a dance with her.
Jill and Cris Traywick

Words can’t express our sadness for our niece, who left us far to soon. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Darlene’s family that you’ll find strength and comfort knowing others share the loss of one so dear to you.
Dear Mark, Sammie and Zoe, I offer my sincere condolences with the passing of AJ. She was a wonderful person and I enjoyed our time serving the WBHS girls soccer program. I know her family meant the world to her and I’m so glad she got to experience the joy of becoming a grandmother. AJ will be missed and you will be in our prayers.
Words cannot express the sadness we feel for the loss of our sweet beautiful friend Linda. So thankful for the memories we have with her. She had a way of making you feel important and loved. The world won’t be the same without her. She was a dear friend and our deepest sympathy goes out to all of her family. Lifting you up in prayer for peace and strength at this time.
Trish and Jeff Melnick
From the SAWYER Family —- Our Family would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the many kind expressions of sympathy extended to us during our time of bereavement. May God bless and keep each and every one of you in his Loving Care. We are grateful for the support of our Family, Friends, Neighbors and Bon Air Baptist Church James River Campus.
My heartfelt condolences to Sally Jo and the entire family for the loss of Jim. Even though I haven’t seen Jim since grad school days, I clearly remember him as a kind and caring person with a good sense of humor who enjoyed talking with and socializing with others. I have no doubt he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and son, as well as a top-notch professor.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to all family and friends who loved Linda. I did not know Linda well, but when I saw her and spoke to her she made me feel like I was one of her very, very close friends. She had a unique way of making people happy. Her smile and warm heartedness was truly her way into our hearts. She was loved by many and her memory will be passed on through all of us. When we hear music being played we know Linda will be right there listening, smiling, dancing.
The sweetest and most kind hearted person I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. He let my nephew drive the ferry boat when my brother came up from Alabama to visit. It made my nephew’s whole trip. I enjoyed working with Captain Morgan.
Linda, you were a ball of fire!!! I cant begin to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing your face and talking with you about work!!! You definitely knew where I was always coming from!!! I’m glad your at peace now! Miss you dearly!!!
In Australia, we would say that “Theresa was a beaut.” A fabulous person. She will be missed by many. Those stars in the sky? They are Theresa looking over us, and with affection.
Mr. Morgan was one of a kind. He would bring us “fat pills” (donuts!!) at Dr. Hancock’s office. We struck up a friendship and often talked about boats (my father in law was a tugboat capt)
He would bring me his special maritime newspapers!! I am grateful to have known such a special person! Sending love and peace to the family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Winstead family and friends.
I knew Glenn from our days at Norview, parties, skipping school, Sunday football games, hunting at the farm. We all hung around Pizza Chef, Glenn worked at Yum Yum Chicken, I won’t soon forget the silly hat he had to wear. I remember him and a few others riding in the trunk of the car going across the HRBT, you had to pay a per passenger toll back then.
I remember us going hunting in Ronnie’s old 56 Dodge Wagon. It smoked so bad you would have thought we were mosquito control. We stopped at a station in Richmond and told them to fill it up with oil and check the gas.
What a wonderful friend!!!
Masako, Becky and Donna, Jeanne and I and all our family are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will be out of own on the 6th and will not be able to be at the service but we will be there in spirit and prayers. You know how much we have cherished your friendship over many ,many years. May be be with Don and with you all. Love , the Klesch family.
Our condolences to the whole Morgan family on the loss of Mr. Morgan. Even in adulthood, he’s still “Mr. Morgan” to me! He was a good man and neighbor. He would always allow my brothers (and later my son when we came to visit my folks)to come fishing in the pond and wander down to see if we had any luck. We have good memories of Revelle Drive and he was always part of them! May he rest in eternal peace until we all meet again.
So sorry for your loss. We were childhood friends through Church and graduated together. Fond memories of those days.
Keeping all of the family in my prayers.
Our deepest condolences to Masako and all of the Morgans and Kitenkos. We were truly blessed when we became your neighbors, and us Klesch kids have many, many fond memories of growing up there with y’all on Revelle – and nothing was better than taking that ferry ride and looking up to wave at your neighbor safely carrying everyone across. We’ll miss him dearly as we miss Ronnie. Our prayers and wishes for solace are with you.
So sorry to hear of your passing. I always looked forward to talking with you at church. You were a very giving person and that is what I liked most about you. I will miss you my friend but I know where you are and I will see you again. Rest In Peace my friend.
It goes without saying, that we were all so sad to hear of Wade’s passing. We all have such fond memories of us all as kids. Wade playing guitar with Chris is one of my last memories of him. I have all of you in my prayers and am thankful that Wade is not longer suffering. With love, Kim
Roxy was working hospice when I joined as a chaplain. She always had the answer to my questions. Patients would request her as their nurse. She had a big heart and is an example of the exemplary hospice nurse.
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.
Luke was a great guy. I played JV football with Luke and he was a far better offensive end than I was. He had hands. Oh man ,did he ever have hands. Sorry to hear of his passing. Best to his immediate family and relations.
Truly devastating,I spoke with him that very night.I can honestly say Ric,was one of the hardest working man, I have ever known,always up at the crack of day,played with his 3 besties Poo-bear,Ellie-may,and one of there pups Jaguar,and then out the door he went,often not returning till long after the sun had gone down.He was truly an amazing person,huge ❤️,and always ready to jump to the aid of a friend.I loved him then, Always will! Ric I am at a loss of words,knowing the phone won’t ring ,and your voice won’t be on the other end. I would see you again hon,on the other side.Look for me,as I will you…..
Sean could brighten any room with his personality. He is part of some of my best memories of VA Beach. He was more than a friend and will truly be missed. My heart goes out to you all. Sending prayers of peace and comfort.
Arlene and I enjoyed many lunches and get togethers over the past. After lunch we would go shopping and had many laughs. I will miss her friendship but know she is now resting comfortably in our Lord’s arms.
I’m so, so sorry to hear of Eddie’s passing. He was an awesome man and I remember so much how he loved and took care of Linda and his family. We’re praying fir your family.
Our condolences are sent to you Linda and the kids and families. Wish I was with you right now.
Love you so much. Eddie will be missed by so many including his in-law family back here in Illinois. With many tears shed our sympathy to all.
Rest In Peace Eddie.
Rhonda & Roger
Dear Duesberry Family,
Shaylyn and I both are very saddened to learn of Barbara’s passing. She was a true guardian angel and God send to us, when we most needed it. As Shaylyn’s daycare provider and then alternate daycare for so many years, we felt her love. She was so kind and caring, Shaylyn always enjoyed being there, even as often times the oldest. I cannot remember a time when Shaylyn did not want to go to Miss Barbara’s. And I always felt comfortable taking her. I always marveled at how clean the house was, with so many little ones always there and coming and going. I still can’t keep my house to those standards! Shaylyn is now 19 years old, and was truly upset when I told her the news. Please accept our sincere condolences. Debbie Scher
This popped up and it is always interesting to see my name. I am 4 years younger than this lady was. Hope she had a good life. I am thankful for every holiday season that finds me alive! I have had a condition that has left me slightly disabled but I have many blessings. I write a weekly newspaper column. Feel free to find me on Facebook.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sean was a good guy with a sense of humor, their is nothing like loosing a son, but with GOD grace and mercy you will get through this, he never leave us no matter what the situation is. Sean is in a place where he will be happy all the time and using that great sense of humor.
You and your family have our most heartfelt and sincere condolences in this time of loss. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for the entire family. He was a wonderful brother-in-law and I will miss him. So glad that he is no longer suffering. I will always remember his sense of humor.
Nolan was one of my favorites. Loved him like a brother. My heart hurts that he is gone and I have lots of memories of him and my sister Jane. They truly loved each other and I feel they are together again. Prayers for his family. 🙏🙏♥️😘
I absolutely loved Ricky. He has been my friend since 1990, and he has always been reliable, lovable and an all out a great man. I am deeply saddened to hear of his death, and I am kicking myself for not turning onto Blackwater Road, every time I road down Mt. Pleasant to Virginia Beach from Chesapeake. Life is too short, to not take that right and go say hi. My heart aches for the loss of a super great friend, brother, son, uncle, etc. I am sincerely sorry for all of our loss.
Missing you already DAD and our routine. I LOVE YOU ❤️
Seeing the pictures of you smiling with the great grand babies reminds me of the days when all of ours were young. Too many memories, get togethers ,TV football, holidays and dinners to count with You and Mom at almost all of them. Can’t imagine how it will be without you both. Grateful that you are now with mom and all our other loved ones. lt must be a joyous time. Sending my love Caryn
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!
Johnnie Amy and the boys
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 will always treasure the coins and the NASA stickers he always sent me when I was a kid. I will also treasure the rifle he gave me on my 6th birthday. Life moves too fast. I wish we could have been closer. I love ya uncle Nolan.
My condolences to the Whalley family for their great loss. I am so sad for my dear friends. Mr. Whalley was a wonderful loving and caring father and my memories of him for the past 50 plus years are all full of happy ones.
So very sad to hear this news. Kenny and I were joined at the hips through Jr High and High School. I pray that his family share in the knowledge that he is in a welcome place and know that he is now watching over them.
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.
I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Bland. I worked with him at the Navy Public Works. Mr. Bland always treated me with respect. I would tell him he reminded me of my Dad because he was very patient, a hard worker and a soft spoken man. Again, I am sorry for your family’s loss. May he Rest In Peace.
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 was deeply saddened to learn of Nancy’s passing. She was such a kind and loving person. I loved to hear of her time in the military, she was a trailblazer for those of us who came after her. She was a great listener and helped me many times over the years. My deepest condolences to Maurice. Rest in peace Nancy, you will be missed.
OMG James, you will be heart felt missed by all of us who knew You. You have been ailing for some time & God has taken your suffering away. To Athena , be comforted in this fact . Thank you for being there in James time of need.
James, you will be missed…we laughed a lot, cried a lot (mostly over our fur babies) and confided a lot to each other…has been a pleasure knowing you the last 30 plus years…thanks for the great hair days!!!
James I sure will miss you. We have had some wonderful laughs together. You always made me look and feel great as well as my mom and husband Bill. I met James when he worked at Rice’s at Janaf. My sympathy and prayers to the family.
James, Tami’s comments fit perfectly. You did my hair for almost 30 years and we cried and laughed too. You always said you could do my hair blindfolded!!! Will miss you so much!!!!❤
I was saddened to read that James had died on Nov.15, 2021. I loved working wit him we had a lot of fun. He was a kind and thoughtful man and a fabulous hairdresser.
I will miss him but remember him with kind thoughts. My sincere sympathy to all of James family .
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.
My heart is full of sadness. James has done my hair since 1999. I will never find anyone to do what he did with my hair. He was a kind, caring and a loving person. I followed him from shop to shop. When I lost track of him for a few years I never stopped looking and I always found him. Rest easy my friend and the angles are lucky to have you with them. You will be missed more than words can be put on paper. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family ♥
Pat Taylor
Melody was such a wonderful mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, wife, and daughter to her family. She will be so greatly missed by those who were closest to her. We love you Grandma!
James–Maddy & I were just talking about you the other day wondering how you are. We are saddened to hear that you are gone. You always made us laugh! We love you & miss you lots–Lisa, Scott, Maddy, & Sheila
James you were one heck of a hair cutter and one heck of a human being. It was always an experience getting my hair done. 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.
Ed was my dear friend for many, many years. We met in the 1980’s when I was his CASREP Expeditor for the Atlantic fleet amphibious ships. Ed was at COMPHIBRON 12 in Norfolk and I was a civilian at Navy Depot in Mechanicsburg, PA. We always kept in touch throughout the years. Thank you to his son who called me last evening to tell me of Ed’s passing. My deepest sympathy to Ed’s family for your loss. Ed was a great guy to know. You will be so missed my dear friend.
Michelle and you Dad . She loved you so much and always worried about you ….. she misses you as well . She kisses the memories we all made on Jefferson ave in Maz’s house .
I’m so going to miss our talks, laugh’s and cries. I pray and hope you know how much I love you and how much you really got me to open my mind up and see things differently. We had some great times and great conversations and I’m going to miss it all! With all my love. You are missed beyond words. RIP my dear friend ❤️🙏
I will never stop loving you Dad . I will never stop thinking about you . My life is forever changed because your not here anymore , I regret so much but I know we had good times and I know you loved me with every beat of you heart . I love you to and I can’t wait to see you again , I’m reading a book now about afterlife so I can reach her somehow , I know you would have loved this book . I’m gonna get to you I promise , please leave me signs and clues , I’m looking and waiting for you , we always had synchronicity between both of us and I know that you’re going to show your self to me soon….love Becky
My deepest sympathy to Richard’s family and friends. I have known Richard since he was in high school. He and my son Kevin were the best of friends. Richard was at our home most of the time and ate supper with us many many nights, when his mom had to work late. Every time I would ask him if he wanted to eat with us he would always ask me “what are you having” even tho’ he and I both would knew he was going to eat with us no matter what I was cooking. God Bless you Richard
Ed was a friend and my mentor when I came aboard SHREVEPORT.

Alex was my older brother. He loved natures animals. He also loved working in the garden. When it was time to harvest he would share everything he planted with family and friends. He loved helping where he could. Will miss you and say hi to our parents. Love ya.
It’s not gonna be the same without you Richard, I’m gonna miss you. I already do. You had more to offer than you may have realized. I learned a lot from you. You were a good father in law, especially for me personally. And you were a good friend. I really enjoyed our conversations, hanging out on the front porch and listening to music. Thanks for caring the way you did. I love you man. I hope we meet again.
I’m so sorry for your loss, he is in a better place now and having the time of his life. I didn’t know this man that well but he was a great man from what I did know of him and he will be missed by many.
Bun bun I miss you so much. Living together was such a blessing in both of our lives. You’re exactly what I needed in my life at that time. I am thankful I was apart of your life. You’re forever in my heart. Everytime I bake now, I always think of you. You loved your sweets! You were like family to me and always will be. You were the grandma I never had. And as you said, “You are the daughter i never had.” As I am tearing up typing this, those words will never leave my mind or heart. Thank you for loving Amelia the way you did. Y’all’s use to sit in your recliner chair, watching her show while I cooked breakfast for all of us. You use to play with her toys with her and watch her just grow. You loved it. And I loved watching you love the joy she had. We love you bunny. Rest In Peace my dear friend. ❤️
Pam was a very kind hearted person. I know she dealt with many difficult health issues throughout her life. However she always had a positive attitude and would say the nicest things to make your day just a little brighter regardless of how she felt. I was sad to hear of her passing.
So sorry for your loss Michelle. You were a good daughter and loving person. Mom is no longer in pain and at peace. Charlie is probably sitting on her lap right now while the both of them sleep.
Rest in peace Gail.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Guentz families and will be praying for everyone during this challenging time. May God walk beside you and guide you through.
Charlotte was the teacher of my oldest son when he was in third grade and fourth grade. He’s 15 now. He still talks about her, especially when he’s going through rough patches in school. I decided to look for her and hopes that I could have my son speak to her again. I’m so heartbroken to see this. She’s left a lasting impression on my sons life and I’m thankful for the life that she lived. My condolences to her family.
Dear Doug,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Melody at a much too young age. I am ever so grateful that I have so far been able to be cancer free since my bout with the disease. So much has changed at the Agriculture Department since you were here as a deputy. I will be thinking of you and your family at this very difficult time. My very best to the rest of the family,
Debbie
I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. Witnessing the closeness of your family ties through the years makes me know how devastating the loss of Alex is for all of you. I’m sending my blessings, my prayers and my wish for comfort for all of you. Chrissy, I’m here for you any time.
My heartfelt sympathy. I worked with Jack at Colonial Williamsburg. He was a lovely man, and I always enjoyed talking with him when our paths crossed. May God lend him grace and care for those he loved.
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.
My wife and I are so sorry to hear of our friend’s recent passing. I’ve known Bill for many years while he was with the OWCP office in Norfolk. He was a great adjudicator and friend. He and Carol always supported our Greek Festival at Sts Constantine & Helen church. They are back together again. May they rest in peace. Memory Eternal. Out thoughts and prayers are with you Sophia and Chad.
Mandi and Chad,
I cannot begin to tell you both how sorry I am to hear of Bill’s passing. It came as such a shock since he had recently stopped by to visit. I have such fond memories of him and Carol that I will always treasure. The many nights in their den laughing and reminiscing will forever mean the world to me. This is truly a huge loss. Prayers and condolences to you and Chad during this very sad and difficult time. Much love to you both. Christine Stone
Sophia and Chad, I am Phyllis’ daughter. I was so shocked and saddened when my Mom called to tell me of your dad’s sudden passing. Bill was such a kind and gentle soul. He always had a big hug and smile when I saw him, the last time was for George’s 90th birthday two years ago. I will keep you both in my prayers. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.” –Leo Buscaglia
It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of my friend Jack- all the days we stood together in front of buildings at Colonial Williamsburg over the last half decade, I was always entertained by his dry humor and grand stories. More recently crossing paths with both of you, walking dogs in our shared neighborhood, I looked forward to seeing more often. Barbara, my deepest sympathy for the loss of someone so dear and special to us all.
Rest in peace sweet Glenda…I was a coworker of Ms Glenda’s at the Navy Exchange.. She was such a sweet lady and I remember her always bringing in cupcakes at our holiday parties. And sometimes I would walk with her to her car at the end of our shifts. Rest peacefully Ms Glenda. I’ll miss you… Cindy from the Package Store
With our deepest sympathy. May our condolences comfort you knowing we are praying for you and thinking of you during this sad time. I know Audrey loved the Lord… she is among the angels and she is in your hearts forever. God bless you all. 😇❤
Arlene,
Today, the second anniversary of Mickey’s passing, I came up to Tri-C Western to walk around and remember Mickey and his contributions here.
Peace, Scott Hartman
I had the pleasure of caring for Mrs. Gail she was more then a patient to me she was my friend we had a lot of good laughs together and shared a few tears. I happy she gets to be with her little Charie she loved dearly and her husband she deeply missed. Love you Mrs. Gail I hope you are now in peace.
My beautiful Mom, you taught us a lot throughout life. I know you are now at peace which is well deserved. Thank you for protecting each of us. I love you for eternity. Bye for now.
You treated me like a son. At a time when I really needed it. Thank you for being you, sunshine is very dim compared to the light of life you gave to so many of us.
Love you and always will.
I met Audrey in 95 when I was moving back to Washington with her son Tom we stopped to say goodbye and she had breakfast for us she reminded me of Florence Henderson so bubbly so sweet and the food was on point. Your son is an awesome man he has been my friend for the past 20 years or so he has the biggest heart and I know he must have got that from you. Be with God be in peace we will all miss you but we know that you will be watching over us 🥰😘
Mommy the world is gonna suck now that your gone. Im never gonna not miss you. I don’t even know what to say cause words can’t express how much I miss you already. But im happy you aren’t in pain anymore, but I selfishly wish you were here with that being said. I’ll do good thing with my life and be a good person too like I promised and I’ll try and be strong for you like you were. You were/are the strongest best mom there will ever be. I love you don’t forget about me cause I won’t forget about you. I’ll make sure Levi remembers the best grandma ever too. Till we meet again mommy. Love you forever.
The one thing I remember most about Lou is when you guys would come to WV, Lou and Dad sitting at our kitchen table drinking coffee and laughing. She was always happy sitting there.
Cdr Pennypacker was CO of the DPD of NAS Norfolk when my husband and I met him and subsequently Dot. We remained friends over the years and loved and will miss them both.
My thoughts and prayers are with Bill’s family. I have many memories of Bill when he was boss to my mother, Lucille McMillian (who passed in 2007) at the Department of Labor in Norfolk. She was very fond of her boss, as were all of us.
Although I never had the honor of serving under Mr. “V”’s leadership, I am told he was an exceptional man. I did, however, have the pleasure of meeting Bill several times thereafter at office gatherings and I will always remember the smile he bought with him, not to mention the outstanding baklava, handmade.
Thank you for everything Bill and the difference you made – God be with you and “Fair Winds and Following Seas”.
Tami and Kari, we are all so very sorry to hear about Bob. He was a sweet and thoughtful man. Mom always thought the world of him. He will be missed by all the Blake girls. Just remember we are here for you.
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Please accept my condolences. I enjoyed getting to know her, and you, over the past many years. Your mother did have a wonderful sense of humor. I know her faith, and yours, has brought you much comfort in this difficult time. Prayers and thoughts are with you both.
As a sister-in-law twice, I myself lived quite a few years of her life around her.She was as said a very happy person even when going through bad times. She was always an upbeat person. I met her and her family for the first time when my husband Ray (Dane Ed’s ) brother got out of the military and we took him home to Virginia when his daughter Trudy was one year old. So we lived close to them for years in Newport News Va. we had lots of good times with them until Dane Ed’s passing, and even after that when she married my brother James and we saw each other quiet often. Lou was a good person and we cared a lot for her and the family. I was sorry to hear about her passing and would have liked to have seen her again. I offer my condolences to her and the family. Will be praying for comfort for them. Loved them all. Sis-in-law Mary

To the Ennis family, we are so sorry for your loss. John was a good man and loved by so many. May he Rest In Peace. I’m sure Bubba and Pop welcomed him with loving arms. Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Prayers and strength.
My brother-in-law was one of a kind! I am thankful for him and I have very special memories that will stay in my heart forever. He acted with kindness without effort not realizing how important a simple act or conversation was to someone else. I will miss him, his smile, his antics, and his love. Forever in my heart!
So many memories were made in the short 13 years you were with me. Ill never forget the impact you had on everyone around you, me included. I love you grandma.
To the Ennis family and friends…… I’m sorry for your loss. John was one of my best friends. No one was anymore hard working, intelligent and honest than John, He was one of the most talented people I ever worked with. I always felt like John and Bubba had my back and I hope they felt like I had theirs to. We worked and surfed together from V.B. and The Outerbanks to California and Hawaii.
Becky I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know him well but met him several times and he was a very nice man and I enjoyed talking with him. I know it is a hard road ahead but if you need me don’t hesitate to call. Prayers for you and the family.
Although I knew Frank only a short time, he made a big impression on me as being a good man, and treated the people he cared about well.
I will miss his smiling face and his great breakfasts he would prepare when ever Robert and I visited!!!
My heart and prayers go out to all of his family and friends!🙏🙏🙏
My sweet Aunt Patsy!What a wonderful woman! So loving to all. As a young child I thought you were beautiful and never looked your age. I once asked you what do you do to stay so young looking, what do you put on your face – your response PONDS Cream. That’s it. But really it was natural- Natural Beauty. I’m truly heart broken!! 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.
So many Frank-memories: Frank playing backyard Thanksgiving football, taking wonderful care of Aunt Joyce and Uncle Jack, eating his amazing ribs and ham and peas, Christmas mornings – oh, Frank, you are missed.
Oh, Frank. You were a fantastic cook and storyteller; I only met you once but enjoyed your company. Tanya: he leaves a hole in your heart but hopefully plenty of good memories to help fill the gap. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thoughts and prayers with Tanya, her family and with Frank’s family. We had the privilege of meeting Frank at Brenda and Doug’s 4th of July party in NH. I remember how he loved life and Tanya. I also remember that when he visited NH in winter and want to take go snowmobiling to experience the fun of riding in the snow. Appreciate Frank’s service to our country! God Bless!
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 attended FMA with Eddie and we were roommates for two years. He often invited me home with him and we shared many adventures. I am sad to hear of his passing and send condolences to his family.
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.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Whittaker. I worked for him at JCPenney in Fredericksburg for many years. He was the kindest, most knowledgeable, fair, and gentle Manager I worked for in my 17 years with JCP. May his memories build an everlasting link to your hearts. Rest in peace, Mr. Whittaker.
I knew Rich for many years. We played against each other in many tennis tournaments when he was John Lee’s partner. He was always fun to play against and it was even more fun to beat him. I saw him progress from an O.K. tennis player to a really good tennis player. It was great to see. I will miss kidding with him. May he rest in peace.
Wanted to reach out to Gary Drew and his family to send our sincerest sympathies with Brenda’s passing. I remember sitting on the porch at Allan and Lauren’s home in South Norfolk celebrating a birthday. Brenda was so easy to talk to and just the nicest lady. The hard part begins now, living without her. Please know that we will keep Gary and his family in our prayers. Take care Gary and know that Brenda sleeps in your heart.
Heartbroken to hear of the passing of my good friend & former client, Rich West. Rich was one of the finest Christian men I have ever known. It was my pleasure to have been a part of his purchase of 2 residences. I was delighted when he found the love if his life, Melissa! Rich led many to Christ and planted the seed of hope in many more. My condolences to Melissa and family members.
My wife for 28yrs has earned here angel wings..audrey is finally at peace with our lord..we will be together again..look over all of us until we will be together again..love you forever ❤ hubby
My deepest condolences…I have fond memories of Rich as a child and teen growing up in the Va Beach Community Chapel. Praying for all his family during this most difficult time.
SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR FAMILY’S LOSS. HE WAS A WONDERFUL MAN AND WILL BE MISSED GREATLY BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM, WHETHER WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, OR LATER IN LIFE! PRAYERS, LOVE & PEACE ARE WISHED FOR YOU ALL.
\
So deeply sorry for your family’s loss. He was a wonderful, young man and He will be missed so much by all who knew him: whether they knew him early in his life or recently. Prayers are going up for his wife, Melissia, his mom, Joan, both his sisters, and the rest of his family. I pray for love, peace, and comfort from God. We will all see him in heaven!
You were some special lady Mrs. Gurnee. All the valentines days and Easters and summers I spent at your house I was always treated like one of your kids- you even threaten to shut my shower off If it went more than three minutes Wayback in the 70s. Waited in gas lines with you lots of great memories lots of fun. You are loved by many including me. I will definitely miss you
Staying with the Gurnee’s in Virginia Beach was always fun. Gail and I always tried to do something fun or silly to Mr. Gurnee but he never let on if it worked or not. Not gonna tell what it was now. He and my father worked for the same organization which is now NCIS. We all met in the Philippines in 1971 and stayed friends all these years. He was truly a wonderful man and I will miss him
My heart is sad. I pray God’s grace and peace to you all. I always treasured my time with Ed coaching softball at Norfolk Christian. He gave me a love for coaching that carried me through 30 years of teaching. He will be missed.
Ed was the best Brother-in-law ever ! he loved giving gifts . Knew the ice cream i liked,and brought it to my door. I could always count on a smile and a big bear hug..
Fred and i will miss him so much. He will always be in our sweet memories.
Rest in Peace dear brother.
Barbara Jo and her siblings were a wonderful part of my childhood. She and her sister Mary Lu remained my friends throughout adulthood. B J was a smart, loving and kind lady. My thoughts are with her family.
Jack,
I am sorry sorry for your loss. Barbara was a good friend and mentor. I was sadden to hear of her passing. May you find peace in knowing where she is, in the arms of our Lord.
So sorry to hear of Harold’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him in the Photo Services unit of the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
Oh Dean….. I’m really going to miss you. The MINI community will too. Our “kids”, the banana plants, are still thriving and I’ll always have you to thank for them. They always make me think of you. My heart goes out to your family 💗
Where there is HOPE there is faith. We are truly sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers and in our heart. Love, Janet and Jimmy
Jay & Tony

Jay, Toni and Todd, We are so very sorry for your loss. Dean was caring, thoughtful, and just an all around great man. There are really no words to say how sad we feel for your family.God Bless you all.
I had the pleasure of working with Don over the last 6-7 years and getting to know Don very well. He was a very unique and one of a kind guy and special to a lot of people. He will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to his family and other friends.
Dear Amy,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I remember her coming to one of our BlueWave meetings and providing the chicken for our potluck dinner. I know she was a great supporter of you and of promoting justice and kindness for all. I pray that you find peace. Shalom, Ellen
Jay and Tony- Peggi and I are so sorry for your loss of Dean. May Dean rest in peace with our heavenly father. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May you find comfort in your memories of your son and all he meant to you.
Sanford & Peggi
Jr was my nephew. I remember him when he was little. A little fireball that one was. And was a fireball til the end. The last phone call we had he had told me was tired. And if cancer came back he wasn’t going to fight it. He was tire and now he’s at peace. He will be missed. He was loved. Praying for his sister Ann and brother John, the rest of family. Find comfort in knowing he’s free now and not in pain.
My sincerest condolences to Deidra, Chris, Ed and their families at the loss of Ginny. She was a great asset to her profession and a great boss to work for. I will be forever grateful she saw something in me and taught me Records Management. She will live on in our hearts and with the impacts she made on her profession.
Ginny was a remarkable person…and a gifted and talented professional. We both arrived in Virginia about the same time, and her knowledge and advice were treasured. Friend, colleague, mentor and all-round fine human being.
“Rest Eternal grant unto her, O Lord, and may Light Perpetual shine upon her.”
I have a picture of you in my mind, in a field of flowers in heaven. You are chasing a purple butterfly, laughing, with sparkles all around you. Love you baby sister.
My sincere condolences to the family. Ginny was such an awesome woman, willing to share her wealth of knowledge with me for 23 years while we worked closely at Newport News Waterworks. I will truly miss her and know, many others will too.
I was sorry to hear of Ginny’s passing. I will always remember her fondly as a strong woman and professional in the field of records management. I was blessed to know her, work with her, co-author a book with her and call her a friend.

Hi Donna,
I’m deeply sorry to hear about your mother. I know it’s been a hard time for her lately but she’s in God hands now & pain free. You & your sister try to hang in there & take one day at a time. Praying for all of you! God Bless!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
I have known Patsy”Marie” since elementary school. All through school she was always gracious and helpful to all. Her full life, even though it seems she left too soon, has been filled with love and caring for others. My deepest sympathy to her family and I will remember her smile always.
I don’t know the words to say to make the sadness go away, but I do have the faith that God will grant you the strength, comfort, and peace that only He can as you face this sad time. When your beloved Marie passed away, she took a part of you that will be a part her, just a part of her will remain with you forever.
Wishing the entire family our condolences in the loss of a truly inspiring and amazing lady! Keeping you all in thought and prayer for a healing heart with each passing day! May each day bring you a new and happy memory of Marie!
I worked with Marie at the City of Chesapeake, and I missed her dearly when she retired. She was truly a bright light. Marie was very kind to me when we worked together, and I always appreciated her humor and kind words to get me through rough times . My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
I met Ed back in the 1960s when he met/ married my dear friend Donna. I loved him like a brother… Have so many great memories of him and all the fun times many fun times.. Ed had one of the best personalities ever and he really could tell a story. He did like to move around but I always found him (ha ha) and fondly recall having good times at each home they lived in. He was truly one of the good guys and will be missed.
Donna, David & Trudy,
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your dad. I’ll never forget him & Aunt Gertrude or the summers that I got to spend time with them. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest condolences and sympathy to Eric’s family. He was a shipmate of mine in the carrier DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN-69), and a great naval officer. As I seem to recall he was a Chevy Corvette enthusiast. Fair well and following seas old friend.
To my amazing bonus dad ❤️ Knowing you changed my life in so many amazing ways. You gave my mother love she has never until you. You gave my son the best grandpa he could have ever asked for and you gave him a bestfriend. He was so lucky to grow up with you by his side. Memories that will last him forever. And you gave me so much loved I never knew I needed. I miss you everyday and that won’t ever fade. I miss your lame dad jokes that would make you and only you laugh so loud lol. Keep laughing dad, because it was the best sound. I love you always and even after
I knew I loved you before I met you. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of or miss you. You took my heart when you left this world. I know you’re watching over us and we’ll meet again. We knew God brought us together. You’re my true soulmate. I miss you and love you with all that I am.
My heart is saddened to learn of Bruce’s passing. He was an outstanding man who accomplished much. Bruce was well respected by everyone. He will be missed. A life well lived.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. I worked with you in the late 60s and still remember how close the two of you were. You were also kind to me and I never forgot that. May God comfort you with His everlasting love.
My little Maria who was my whole world. I love you and will miss you so so much.glad you already knew Jasmine and Jordan will be in good hands with us. I ordered you the prettiest angel urn. You will be here at home in peace with your family next to your gramma
Love you forever,
Mom
Moma & I are so sorry for the loss of your mother. Our prayers be with you and your families at this time. I know you will miss her,but now she is with your dad and they are holding hands forever.
Janie, I was deeply saddened to see Bruce’s obituary in the paper. He was a great guy and had a great impact on my life in my early years. When I think of him I can only smile! We had so many years of laughter and so many cold brews! He was a man of strong principle and was always deeply committed to you. If there is anything that I can do for you PLEASE let me know. You and Bruce are in my prayers!
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
My heart is truly broken, it is hard to forget someone who gave everyone so much to remember, my memories of you will always be treasured.
I called you today thinking you would answer your phone so I can wish you a happy New year,and a happy birthday tomorrow,like we always spoke .on our birthday’s,I couldn’t reach you so I started investigating,
to find out that my birthday was our last call. I am so sorry I missed when you passed away.
I couldn’t remember your daughters name but my condolences to her and your wife,
You will always be my good friend,I will treasure every moment we shared, you helped me so much in my career, I wish I could express the sorrow I feel,
may you RIP. Ebony please reach out to me so I can share with you my memories I have. thank you.
Kelli and family I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing a.parent is a blow like no other. May you find some.comfort in the prayers and thoughts of those who care for you and your family.
Janie. Bruce has been a family friend for as long as i been alive, he was my dads best friend and i learned a lot from him growing up. He was always there to help, talk to just come and socialize, always had a smile and made people laugh. He was always such a good person to me and my family, and it wont be the same without him here.

Bob Suzy and I were saddened
Bob, Suzy and I were saddened when we heard about Diane We are truly sorry
for your loss. We were so glad we saw her at our last reunion in
Portsmouth. Diane was always so upbeat and those are the memories
of her that we will always have. Stay strong my friend through this
tough time. God Bless.
My sincerest sympathy to the family. I worked with Diane at Thoroughgood Elementary. She was a joy to know. I will always remember her love of teaching & her commitment to her students.
Sending my deepest sympathies. Mrs. Willoughby was my teacher her first year at Thoroughgood. I’ve never forgotten her sweet personality and how much she cared for every single student. She will be missed.
We are so sorry to hear about Nancy passing, We will miss her. Playing bingo is not the same since she stopped coming. She was lots of fun! Miss seeing her.Bless you Nancy for helping her and being there for her, miss you too. Sincerely Donna and Joyce
My deepest condolences to Ginny’s family and friends. She had a great personality and outlook on life. I was fortunate to have known her. Blessings to all during this difficult time. Dutchie
Michael was a true friend and brother to me. Not by blood, but spirit and love. Time separated us, but our friendship never diminished. You will be missed deeply. I love you brother. Rest well, until we meet again.
My deepest and sincerest sympathy to the family. A gentle and kind picture and touching obituary. May you always hold her hand in your heart. Warmy, Nancy
My deepest condolences for your loss. Tony will be missed by me and many shipbuilders who had the fortune to work with him or cross paths. I pray that warm memories of Tony comforts all of you.
One of the most intelligent, ethical, and straight forward individuals I’ve ever met. Jack mentored seniors and juniors alike. Telling people what they needed to hear, not wanted to hear. First to praise, rarely criticizing, but always vectoring. A fine gentleman and great analyst. One of the 480th’s National Treasures.
Our prayers go out to Jack’s family. I worked with Jack some at the 480th IG at Langley. Jack was definitely one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. Also, he knew the Intelligence business and was extremely smart. If Jack told you something you could take it to the bank. RIP Jack until I see you on the other side.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Mr G. I worked with him first in the early1980s and he was such a great mentor and leader. We worked on the Grenada operation and many other issues at the 480th. My condolences to his family.
I am praying for the family and friends who shared so many memories with Laura. We met at church and school during some of our best years at Faith. She is dancing with the Angels and in the arms of Jesus. Til we see each other again❤
So sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. We didn’t see Joan much, but what a wonderful person she was. Always so friendly and kind. Our deepest sympathy to everyone in her family. Sending prayers and hugs to all of you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Mac was my long-time, long-distance friend and so much more. After we met in the 2000s when he was planning the USS Iwo Jima Class Association’s reunions, we never lost touch. I moved a few times, but emails and greeting cards were exchanged regularly. He loved his labradors retrievers and I love my golden retrievers. That gave us an instant bond. Once he even sent my dog, Eli, a Dog Book. He always made me smile. Bob, you were a wonderful, kind, sweet man. You will be missed. And remember ..especially when I go to the mailbox. So I’ll end with my usual written closing. Your Friend, Lisa
Daddy, our love has no beginning or end. You will always be with me, You may not be here physically buy your energy and spirit will be among us until we meet again. I love you daddy. You were there for my first breath and I was with you till your last. May you spread your wings, fly high in heaven and rest peacefully.
Oh, Sharon, your tribute to Dick, to your love, to your life, your family and friends rings with warmth and joy. It gives a sense of his professional and personal being. May his journey be swift and gentle; may you and your family be wrapped in love. Prayers.
Served with him on the Iwo Jima 1974-75. We kept in touch for years. His girlfriend at the time became friends with my ex. Bob was a great guy who was patriotic and dedicated to everything he did. He will be missed LNCS Ret Ray Russell
My condolences to Helen’s family. We worked together at Commonwealth Health Care for many years. I have many fond memories and there are so many stories all of us share with Helen as co-workers and friends! Rest In Peace Helen, celebrate with Fred and your dear friend Pat Lewis!
The Kanz family sends our deepest sympathies to you and are holding you close in our hearts during this sad and difficult time. There will be some serious political discussions and dominoes matches when John and our father Virgil meet again in heaven. ❤️
Mr. Mac was a very special patient and friend at our dental office for a number of years. I always enjoyed hearing stories and seeing pictures of his dogs .As well as the chocolates that he would bring with him. He always wanted an early appointment so he could head right out to his favorite breakfast restaurant. He will be greatly missed!
To Trish and Dave’s Family,
Our sincerest condolences on your loss. May happy memories and the support of family and friends bring comfort. In sympathy from the neighbors, Tony and Lisa.
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. I am fortunate to have known you Bob, and I hope to see you again and hear your laughter in another dimension.
Dear family and friends of Dick’s,
On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans, we offer our sincere condolences at Dick’s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are always saddened whenever a fellow “Bubblehead” leaves on Eternal Patrol. He served with honor on the USS Angler SS-240, USS Dogfish SS-350 and USS Sablefish SS-303.
To our “Brother-of-the-Phin” we say, “Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas.” Thank you for your service to our country.
“May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ESV).
Jim Sandman, FTC(SS) Ret.
National Chaplain, USSVI.
Will always remember his unconditional friendship and brotherhood to anyone, and his incredible voice which I always aspired to. His dad was one of my best mentors. Rest in the peace of God brother, reunited with your earthly father, and heavenly father.
Lois, Toni & family I heard this sad news today. DA was a big part of my childhood with Robin. My childhood was filled with love and so much fun with the dune buggy and motorcycle. I will cherish my memories forever. With much love. Lynn
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.
I was in fourth grade with Miss Hudak. What an inspired educator, did not follow curriculum, had her own methods. In fifth grade I had Mrs. Childers! We had great field trips, like to Washington D.C.
What a positive influence she was.
With fond memories
Wonderful man who mentored me through a rough time; source of vast knowledge, inspiration, and a calming voice in rough seas. You will be missed, you will be remembered. Rest in Peace Mac

You will see Gram again one day! Me too! I plan to have the best bread pudding with hard sauce so she and I can enjoy it together! I know in my heart Gram hasn’t died….. she is more alive today than she was on Jan 6 th!! God knew exactly who to place in the path that Gram traveled down. He chose you Jayme to be his hands and feet… to take care of her until he would. Well done young lady.!
You will always be my everything. We loved, laughed, lived, fought and cried and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU FOREVER. Until we meet again, enjoy your time with GOD, Pud, Kippy, your Mom. I love you, always have and always will. Love “D”

We shared a bond of friendship
I couldn’t have wished for anything more!

I Love You Gram! 💖
Pat aka “Bop”
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…
I am so sorry to hear about DA. Mom and I send our thoughts and prayers to Cousin Lois and the family. I know he will be missed dearly. You will always have the beautiful memories to reflect back to. Heaven welcomes a new angel and the family has a new guardian angel. Love you all. Dorinda Butt Trumbauer and Jacque Carson Butt.
I was very sorry to hear about Lloyd’s passing. He was a good man, always ready to help someone in need. I enjoyed our Wyoming hunts and Lloyd always had a good story to tell, the highlights punctuated by that grin of his. Even at my Dad’s funeral, Lloyd was there to tell the story of how he watched him skin a porcupine! I’m sure he’s up there working on some carvings for the Big man. I’ll be praying for his family.
Marshay although our time together was brief, I want to thank you for everything. You were always there to lend a helping hand and could brighten anyone’s day with your beautiful smile. You will be missed, you made a huge impact in such a short time. I will continue to pray for your family and your most precious gifts of all, your sons. May you sleep in eternal peace, my friend.
Cindy and Alex. I want to express my deepest sympathy to you both. Your mom was a special lady. I had the privilege of knowing and being a caregiver to her that started in 2012 and continued to 2022. Years of beautiful memories I will forever cherish. I am thinking of you both and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Linda Ginwright. (Norfolk Va.)
My deepest sympathy to the Jordana family. I was saddened to hear of her passing. Praying for peace that transcends all understanding as your cherish memories of her. I worked with her on an off for many years as a physical therapist and always cherished my time working with her. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Diane Haupt
You came into my life when I was 9 years old and we have been together as cousins ever since. We had good times and bad and we always made it through. One of my favorite memories of you when we were kids was your mother having your picture taken on a pony, you loved the pony so much you wanted to take it home and no one could make you understand why you couldn’t. I will miss my bear hugs every time we saw each other and I will hold you in my heart until we meet again. RIP ❤🙏❤
Lorraine and I worked together for years, and our relationship grew to where we became the best of friends. Such a special relationship. My wife Julie and i grew to think of Lorraine, Joe, and Sharon as family. I never met a kinder, more caring and nicer person. She was one of a kind. The world was a better place because of Lorraine. I do and will continue to think of her and always with a fond smile on my face even as I share a few tears while I write this.
My husband earned his wings on 10 Jan 22. We soaked in every second of him while he was here. He left this earth surrounded by the love of his kids and grandkids. I was so blessed to have the husband that every woman deserves. Until we meet again, he will be my guardian angel. I love you. Soar with the angels in heaven my love. ❤️
Words can’t even explain how loved you are and how much you’ll be missed, Dad. You were, and continue to be, my everything- my life teacher, my computer pro, my proofreader, my dog sitter, my car mechanic, my handyman, my dart buddy, my minister (haha)… my absolute everything. We could always count on you for anything- moving cross country? You were there. Moving to the middle of the Pacific? You were there. Needed someone to Whatever the question, you always had the answer. Time on this earth would never have been long enough with you, but I’ll carry my memories forever.
My deepest condolences to all the McCrea family. A most wonderful Aunt, smart as a whip, always the most gracious, and the best sister to my mom who she has joined in heaven! Can only imagine the party going on in Heaven. God Bless such a gift!
We are so blessed to have her in me and my wife life we loved being around she was so down to earth what she had in her life was good enough for her She treated everyone the same She didn’t care about people’s past she loved you anyway she was always there to to talk to and she loved being around her family I want to thank her very much personally for loving my brother and making him happy thank you very much we love you so much see you again your brother n law and sister n law Eric and Renee!
From kids climbing trees, playing marbles and whiffle ball, to trading baseball cards and comic books to adults drinking beer in Germany and playing darts, we were always brothers. He was truly a person that I could count on for anything, no questions asked. I realize what a great person and great brother he was. His passing has left a big void in my life and I’ll always think back about him with great fondness and good memories until we again climb those trees together.
We would like to express our condolences to the Mack family during this time of bereavement. I had the privilege of working with Dennis, and his dedicated staff of USA SATFA professionals, for many years. Working as USCENTCOM’s International Training Manager, Dennis’ expertise and support was indispensable in supporting our military and civilian teams working in the Middle East, Horn of Africa, Central Asia, and Southwest Asia regions. Thank you for your dedicated service to our Nation, both in a Military and DoD Civilian capacity. May you RIP. The Venzke Family.
It is such an honor to call you my sister I will always remember your spunkiness, your beautiful smile and how deeply you loved your family and friends. You were one of a kind and a blessing to so many. I love you and can’t wait to see you again. Rest In Peace now and forever ❤️
I am so glad I got to spend my birthday weekend with you at the last Glenwood Park reunion. Till we see each other again my friend. I miss you so much already
Our hearts are full and being human we are selfish! We know you are in paradise now, no pain or problems we as a family shared. We wanted you to stay with us but God had other plans for you. You are with your babies and mom, dad, grandpa and too many to mention. Please know we love you and miss hearing your voice. We will ALL meet with you when our time comes. I keep remembering us have the last Pajama party at your house and playing hide and seek. A memory that makes me smile and sometimes laugh outloud. Love and miss you Billie Rose. Don’t worry Ray and the rest of us will keep a check on Denver. One Hell of a man! Rest now and breathe freely sweetie. 💔😥
Desra……our hearts and prayers are with you and your family, right now and always!! We pray you find peace that fits in these empty holes through warm hugs, your babies eyes and every memory you will forever hold close!
My sincere condolences to the family for your great loss. I played soccer with Rich for a number of years and remember his as a kind and sincere person both on and off the pitch. In our mourning we can take some solace knowing he is with his father in Heaven for all eternity. 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.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during the loss of you dad. I hope happy memories will get you and your family through this very difficult time.
Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. I could always tell you two were a special couple and see the love you shared. I enjoyed the pleasure of your company. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Nancy
I am so saddened with the passing of a true mom. Momma Wyatt, was a beautiful mom to everyone who met her. I was so lucky to have had the pleasure of being welcomed into her home. I can still hear her laughing at us girls as we were dressed to kill on the weekend bar trips. Her personality was admired by all of girls. My thoughts and prayers to Kim, Chuck and David and their families.
Sergeant Frey,
My heartfelt and sincere condolences on the loss of your father! I am actively praying that you and your family find the strength to carry on during your hour of mourning. I pray that you are able to find peace in the midst of this storm. May your dear departed father rest In peace in the Bosom of the lord.
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.
He was a sweet, gentle soul with a great dry sense of humor. We had many laughs together. I worked with Chuck at Schaevitz Engineering in Pennsauken, N.J. and again at Lucas Industries in Hampton, Va. He was a great photographer, I still treasure the picture he gave me of an asteroid shooting across the beautiful night sky. He loved his cars!! Also he was a really good drummer! Multitalented! We will never forget him. Our condolences to his family. Mary
With heartfelt sympathy and our condolences to my sister Eva , their sons David and Michael and grandson Tyler as we remember the life of Roger so very well lived. He is now with God and may he rest in peace.
Steve and I served together as the first advertising accounts at CBN. and we had some good times together serving the Lord like that.and in prayers together.I really regret losing contact with Steve. After our year at CBN i married the bookkeeper and Pat Robertson sent us off to Philadelphia as area director for the 700 Club there til 1980.I’m now 83 & really regret not staying in contact with Steve and getting to know his family. Looking forward to our heavenly reunion some day not too distant future.
I am really sorrow for all his wonderful family and friends – God bless you all.
Our heartfelt condolences to Eva, your children and your grandson.
May our Lord God grant eternal rest to the soul of Roger and let perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace. Amen.
I remember when we would have some good talks about the lord and his Love for us and before we could leave her home she made sure we all prayed together you will be missed but good to know what you are,Love you
Tommy, Sally, Pepper, Mother Ingram, Laura and Family. It was a joy to grow up with Ray in Malibu. We were wild and free and living out the last glorious days of American hippiedom. I remember when we sent Tommy off to the Army, and that son of a gun ended up in Hawaii! Better than Vietnam by far. When we’d watch Ray Sr. tweak the carburetor of some new hot rod in the driveway at Kim Terrace, it felt like being on the flight line at Oceana. Oh the roar! Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The universe welcomes you back. Peace
Roger was my best friend we played bingo all the time.
I was saddened by the news of his sudden death.
I miss my best friend.
Our condolences to his family.!!!
Dear family, I met Bob @ Flight Safety and we both shared a military Air Nat’l Guard connection… closer than you can imagine… 1 of my UPT classmates ended up in the New Mexico Air Guard and was killed in a mid air accident.. I was in the MD ANG and Bob & I enjoyed swapping stories…I’d call Bob every 3-6 months and I had left messages recently with no response… We have lost a very gentle man in this crazy world… sorry I had not visited since he left DE.. thought and prayers with you ! Toby Frey 410-725-1781
I am so sorry for your loss and this difficult time. Rest in God’s comfort and strength. Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble.
Thank you for the time and wisdom you shared in this life with me . Our time was brief but I’ll always cherish the laughter you offered and love and wisdom you shared to help nurture a young man. R.I.H gone but never forgotten
Roger was always an upbeat supporter of all who came to the Gem and Mineral Club. He always made me feel very important as a newbie and thru the years. We share a lot of interesting conversations, laughs and love of rocks. I will truly miss this man.
My heartfelt condolences to sister Eva and to David, Michael and Tyler. I am sorry for Roger’s passing but as the Bible says…”all things work together for good to them that love God”.. Everything happens for a reason. May he rest in peace.
You will be missed. I most remember you giving girls rides on the elevator in the high school because of your bad leg. Blessings & Love. Barbara Fifield, sister-in-law.
I will always remember Roger with a huge smile on his face that honestly I have never seen him without. His enthusiastic “hello senior” with a hearty pat on the back every time I saw him and his enthusiasm for the gem and mineral hobby will be missed. Another bright light gone too soon…
Roger was a true gentleman. All of us at Witchduck thought the world of him, and we’re sure going to miss him. Whether he was bringing us summer vegetables from his garden, or engaging in conversation with us, he was a ray of sunshine. Now, the world is dimmer.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
To Barbara ,Jay , Kim, Marty, Nick
I’m very sorry for your loss. Jimmy was a great guy. He will be missed dearly. Too many memories to list but will remember him always.
We are sorry to hear about Uncle Roger’s passing. We offer you our sincerest condolences. We pray God will give you strength and comfort during this difficult time.
-Paul & Bebeth
I remember Dennis as a little kid; as Lolly’s younger brother. My Heart and prayers go out to his family at such a hard time. The memories are forever cherished. God be with all of you in the Love Of Jesus.
I am hurt to hear about this news of Bill. As the years go by I still think of you both as my neighbor and close friend that I will see and party with as if it was the weekend. Bill and I go back to school at Holy Trinity and I will always remember how most playground activities started with Bill. He was a great guy. I am sorry for lost that we all share.
Sending our love and condolences to the family. Our hearts truely break for you all, and we wish you strength to carry through. His legacy, wit and spirit will live on with our memories.
Our deepest condolences to Eva, David,Michael and grandsons. May you find comfort in your loss. May the soul of Roger Rest In Peace. You are all in our prayers.
“Memories” is one of Laura’s favorite songs and it means all the more now. She will always be remembered for her faith, love, friendship, great smiles, and laughter. One of the most heard comments has been “she was beautiful, full of love, the sweetest person I have ever known”. We will always remember .
It is very beautiful Jennifer. Cindy is one of my longest dearest friends. I knew her from back in the days when we were Navy wive’s. We were always doing things together to pass the time until our husbands came home. She even videoed my son walking for the first time. I will always remember her as a sweet friend that was always there for me. She will surely be missed. Prayers for the whole family🙏🙏🙏
I always enjoyed the time I spent with you and your family Cindy. You gave me a lot of happy times and laughter. You will be in my heart always. Hoping to see you again in Heaven. I’m sure you will be watching over the ones you love on earth.
Jennifer, Brian, Steven – I’m sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and love during your time of grief. Asking the Heavenly Father/Jesus to help you all find strength and peace.
What a beautiful tribute to your mom. She was such a good friend, I have so many memories of us doing things together. She loved her family so much, and would do anything for you guys. I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that God will give you the strength to get thru this, and no that someday you will be with her again. Until then she will be your angle looking down on you. Love you guys very much.
I am very sad to hear of the passing of my old friend Linda, we met back in the 80’s while working at Toy’s R Us. I spent many nights hanging out with Linda & Dave at their apartment in West Warwick sipping beers and listening to music, then careers and adulthood got in the way. An interesting story, I remember Linda telling me that when she and Dave got married their wedding song was, “What I Like About You”, by the Romantics, so whenever I hear that song, I would always think of my old friend.
Thoughts and prays to Linda’s family and loved ones.
For Chuck and family, our heartfelt condolences. We remember Natalie as a beautiful, vibrant, smart, and gracious woman. She was always ready with the sweetest smile. So sorry for your profound loss.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Knaggs family. We are so sorry to hear of Cindy’s passing. We always thought so much of how close your family was.
Love, Thom & Nell Gallagher
Mrs. Foreman, I extend my deepest condolences for the loss of your husband. I certainly enjoyed our conversations during his office visits and it was my privilege to take care of him.

God Bless Melissa and family during this trying time. Charles lived his life with a strong conviction of service and kindness to others. Prayers for God’s grace and strength for all who loved him.
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 was Lucky enough to be able to share some really fun times with Bill. He was a great person to ride motorcycles with, share a great joke, a cold beverage, a cigar, and most definitely a laugh. He will be missed by many.
I am so sorry for our loss! Bob was a very special guy! He was a great mentor. He guided me financially during my divorce. Of course with a lot of jokes and smart alec comments. It is a true loss for our TWA family. Thoughts and prayers to all. Nickie
I am so saddened that my friends life was cut short. Uncle Larry as I called him had no enemies and loved all! What was so remarkable for this man was his laugh and broad smile to brighten your day, no matter how his was. God felt the need to take a good man home. He will b sory missed. Til we meet again. Love you buddy!
Dot Lee, you were the instrument to bringing each child to know and love the Lord! I can’t thank you enough for the love they showed! I do hope Jessie or everyone in the family continues to come each Sunday! We love your children and pray for the family daily! We happily know where you are now! Love, Liz
It is will deep sadness I have learned of the death of Bob. To Kathy and her family, and to Greg, my deepest condolences. Bob and I worked together for several years at TWA and I must say that Bob was one of the most unique people I have ever met. We shared many stories on the water and no matter how our conversations ended, he always had a smile on his face. I was very proud to call him my friend.
I WILL miss my friend.
May he Rest In Peace…🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. George was a wonderful person, and I know you will miss him greatly. I pray for your family’s continued strength during this very difficult time.
I am a resident at Marian Manor- Your mother was a member of my History class for years.She was a pleasure to teach – bright, inquisitive, with a profound natural ability to see the causes and results of actions-but more importantly,she was a warm,kind person-a woman of great personal strength who possessed a strong moral compass- .who looked out for others.-and went out of her way to offer help to all. i shall miss her and the world is a is a colder place without her. God Bless Susan igareda
Dear Jean and Family,
We miss Bob already. What fun we had having lunches together especially at Gus
and George’s eating their Burger’s. Bob was a fun guy and so knowledgeable in so many subjects. We could see how much he loved you when we were together.
We know you loved him as well. We are available Jean whenever you need us.
Love you, Bill and Rita
Teresa Forman & Family please accept my sincere condolences for your love one Mr. William David Forman. My prayers & thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May he rest in Peace with our heavenly Father above.
I worked with Bill for a few years and I am so saddened by this news!!! 😢😢😢. I do know that my God does not make mistakes and He needed someone like Bill up there with him to make him smile and He truly chose the right man for the job!!! Bill will truly be missed and I pray that his family is touched with a peace that surpasses all understanding! God Bless You All!!
My deepest sympathies to Dave’s family. I served with him aboard ship when he was a Medical Service Corps LT aboard USS INDEPENDENCE and ashore in his final tour as Master Chief Hospital Corpsman with Atlantic Fleet Marines. He had been a Field Medical Corpsman during Vietnam as I recall. Dedicated man to the mission and his shipmates and a one time deer hunter as well. Regret reading of his passing.
Julie,
You have my sincere condolences, and I will keep you and your family close in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks. May God comfort and guide you through this period of grief and give you His peace. Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Sincerely Joann Hall.
I am just seeing this notice and I think we are high school classmates from the Meadowbrook High School in 1971. Could someone please email and let me know if she was our classmate. Thank you.
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?
Our deepest sympathies during this very hard time to the family of Ken. We love y’all like family and pray you are taking care of yourselves during this time ❤️
Bill was a customer of mine that I had the opportunity to visit most every month. He was always pleasant and one of the folks I enjoyed seeing. We often talked about motorcycles. The last time I saw Bill he said that his hours had changed and he now had off weekends and that we should get together and ride. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. 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.
I met Dave through his brother Glenn. He was always very friendly and had an outstanding personality. Prayers to his family and friends in this trying time.
Sincere sympathy to all the family from the Warwick High School Class of ’59. Harold will never be forgotten. He is what made our 60th reunion a success. He reached out to so many and spent hours on the phone laughing and talking with classmates.
Rest in peace—We will see you again, at another reunion one day.
II was saddened to learn of Ed’s passing! I know he was loved by so many! And he loved his years coaching at NCS. May God give peace and comfort to Jackie and Dawn and Eddie and the rest of the family.
George was my cousin and I will miss him greatly! I just saw him Christmas Eve! I always enjoyed seeing him at my son’s baseball games – I will especially miss those times together. My heart breaks for his wife, children, mom and siblings. My love goes to everyone!
Tom was just aces! I’ve loved him since he married Mary when I was a little girl and my sons have loved him their whole lives. We have so many fun memories! We especially loved how he loved Mary, Jenny and Erin. A truly devoted damily man!
Dear Julie and family, I never met George but It sounds like he was a wonderful guy, a wonderful husband and father, and it sounds like he stayed really busy. My condolences go out to you and your family on the loss of your dear husband and father, George.
We are so sorry for the loss of our Dad. May he be at peace. We were so blessed to have been a part of his life, and enjoy his quick wit. We are so We will miss him terribly. We are so lucky to have our son, Shane, know him and will remember him always. God bless until we meet again. 💔💕🙏
Uncle Bob, I can’t tell You how much You’re missed. All the stories and the laughs that we shared. I loved all the stories You would tell me about Corona, UPS, Hiking in Vermont, whether it on dirt or snow shoeing.
There are so many awesome memories that I will treasure for a lifetime.
Until We Meet Again
Your Favorite Sister-in-law
We had great battles on the pool table. You were always up for a good game. You were a great friend and just all around great person. My condolences to your family may you find peace and healing. Till we meet again next game is in me. Rest up buddy.
What a wonderful life lived and I am sure he will be missed by his family. Prayers that they remember his good times and know that he is in a peaceful place.
Our deepest sympathies to his wife and family,
Bob and Laurie
I thank God for this man who loved me for over 64 years. We both knew that God had chosen us for each other.
He left his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren a wonderful example of loving others and showing them he cared for them.
Cecil meant so much to my Dad, Billy Vasile. They had a lot of good
times together! Cecil was always so kind to me and always so much fun! Prayers and love to the family.
Love
Kim Wood
My cousin, more like my big brother – thinking of all the great times we had together – you were always there for me. I will keep you in my heart forever!! I will miss you!! Praying for the entire family!! We love you!! Billy and Becky Vasile
George was more like a brother than my nephew-in-law. We are of the same age and I have always thought of Winnie as my sister. When ever I visited George and Winnie, George would always have a smile on his face and when we parted he would always say, “I love you Walter”. The memories I have of George will always be with me.
Loved my Dad very much. He was such a sweet humble man. Taught me to water ski, bike ride and have a love for the water no matter whether it was the ocean, John Kerr Dam ( we loved saying that as kids) or the lake at Shenandoah Acres. Thanks for loving me unconditionally, I know it was a lot to do.
Winnie, I am so sorry to learn of George’s passing. We have thought of you all so often and so many of the good times we shared in the past.
Our prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Mickey and Carolyn
Dear Butch, Sissy ,Robbie and Juanita, My heart is broken for each of you and all of us who loved Cecil. We have been life long friends and there was no kinder person on this earth. Pooch and I loved him as a brother. The tales that survive him would make a best seller. He was a master craftsman and I only have to look at the fireplace in my home to appreciate his workmanship. Pooch and I were blessed to call him our dear, dear friend. Pooch is suffering from Alzheimer’s so we have chosen not to tell him about the loss of his buddy. Hugging you each with our hearts. Brenda and Poochie Owney
Winnie, I’m so sorry to hear about George. Walter shared this message with me, and I have forwarded it to my family. You and your family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. My love to all of you. Shirley
Mr. Silk will always be remembered for his kindness, consideration, and heart for visiting and caring about others, even when he wasn’t in the best of health, himself. My Mom, Dorothy Crute, and also my husband and I enjoyed and appreciated his visits and prayers after Mom had medical issues. May the love & peace of God be with your family and with all those who will miss Mr. Silk.
So very sorry to hear about George’s passing. He was a wonderful man. When he spoke everyone listened. You always knew he loved the Lord and his family and he was willing to share that love with you. Winnie, you and your family are in our prayers.
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Helen was one of my friends when we both attended Great Bridge High School. We reconnected when I moved back to Chesapeake and we had monthly dinners with her cousin Susie Marconyak and Marie Kingsbury. Good times!
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.
Sue and family,
Our prayers are with you and yours. You gave the last best gift: that of caring for your mother with love and tenderness. Always remember the love and laughter shared: it is everything to pull them so close and support them to the end. You know how to reach us. Please don’t hesitate.
My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Cheryl as a nurse in Iraq and will never forget her beautiful sweet spirit. We know she is in a better place in heaven rejoicing with all the Angels and Saints. Eternal rest grant unto Cheryl O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.
I have never had the pleasure of working with a more caring, compassionate person than Cheryl. She has been missed since leaving work and will be missed greatly by all that knew her. My thoughts and prayer are with her family which she loved dearly above all else.
I was in school with Helen, from 1st grade at Norfolk Highlands until graduation from Great Bridge. Helen was a great childhood friend and one of the smartest. A shining light for all. Condolences, thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.
Roccie and family – My sympathies go out to you at this time of loss. I enjoyed working with Cheryl at NNS who always had time to listen to issues and help resolve them. I especially enjoyed looking at all her photos of her wonderful adventures (her office wall was covered with them) and listening to her stories. She was so grateful for those times. She has been missed at work over past months and will continue to be missed. Please take care.
Cheryl was such a lovely lady, a real positive co-worker and I truly enjoyed seeing her kind smile every day. She always had a positive word, one of the most pleasant people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I miss her daily. But I know she is in a wonderful place now.
Ed, Lisa and Mark,
I have expressed my sympathy previously, but I wanted to tell you I thought Diane’s obituary was so well written and those of us who knew her will miss but always cherish her memory. Peace be with all of you.
Sharon was such a possitive spirit no matter what challenges she faced. She was loved and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. As you know, I worked with Diane for many years. She always had a smile to share, so much so, when I think of her, I think of her smile! She was a very kind, caring, and dedicated employee. I am so blessed to call her a friend! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God provide you some peace and comfort during this most difficult time.
We are so very sorry to hear this news. Amos was one of the good guys and we made many great memories both in and out of the plant. Sending love and prayers to his family.
We were very sorry to learn about Angela’s passing. I got to know her through our church and singles group many years ago. She was very kind and I always enjoyed talking with her. We will miss her.
He was one of the Maintenace Foreman that came up from the ranks. So glad I had worked with him as a trades man. And as my Foreman. Prayers to the family.
Dear Ed, Mark and Lisa,
Robin and I are so very sorry for your loss of Diane. She was a wonderful neighbor to us on Musket Court so many years ago. I also loved seeing her at St. Jude Guild meetings. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Roccie, Rocco and Robert,
We are so sorry for your loss of Cheryl. She was a wonderful and loving lady and will be terribly missed by everyone she touched. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Angela will be missed by us and all the animals she loved in her short but productive life time. God called her home too early for us but we take comfort in knowing she has eternal life with Christ. She was also a wonderful dog sitter. Dotty loved to see Angela come to be with her. She was a natural with all animals. Love her and the family she loved.
Cheryl will be SO missed! She was one of the most unselfish and positive people I have ever known. I fell so lucky to have crossed paths with her in this life. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. God bless you all!
George, we grew up side by side. You taught me how to drive, we played together every day, your Mom fed me milk and sandwiches at lunchtime. The milk was in a silver cup and the sandwiches served on a Crystal plate and I was an extra member of the family. You will be missed by many, but non more than me. 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. Keep a light burning for me. It won’t be very long now.
I worked with Michael only briefly since the summer of 2021 when I arrived to FT Eustis. The Army environment can be extremely stressful and chaotic, yet Michael brought a sense of calmness and common sense which are often hard to find. We valued his professionalism and work ethic. After learning more about him at the Memorial Service, especially the love he clearly had for his family, I left with a renewed focus on my own family and to live my life as a husband and father with greater love. Thank you, Michael.
Uncle “Funny” Bob you will be missed I know we lost touch as I got older but I always remember the silly jokes you used to tell and the gag gifts you used to send. I’ll keep making people laugh just like you did for me all those years ago
To the Lauria Family. Please accept my sincere condolences. I knew Cheryl but for a few years and found her to be a very devoted and caring person in her professional position in the medical field. Cheryl had the unique ability to bring calm to situations and let people know that she was there to help and take care of them. Cheryl, God Speed on your journey and keep a close eye on us from above. Thank you for all that you did for me and everyone you helped in the Shipyard. Bless you and your family.
I am sooo very sorry to hear about the passing of Pat! Worked with her at Landstown Middle School along with her son Jeff!
Pat loved her family more than anything else in the world ! She had soooo many friends that will miss her!
My prayers are with you at this time🙏🙏🙏
Dearest Lisa..I was in shock reading this today … You both have been thought of fondly over the years…God speed to you and your family..Pls contact 7574693008
Winnie, you and George welcomed us into your lives no questions asked. From soft comments that we are all working together for God’s kingdom even tho we worked at different brands of Christian bookstores, to throwing wadded up wrapping paper at each other at Christmas, we are better people just having known you. We love you and your family Winnie.
I don’t know if you got my email. Beverly, I’m so sorry to hear about Bryan. I haven’t seen you two for a few years. Hope you are doing alright. If I can help let me know.I will remember the good times Bryan & I had together.
Angela will always be Gee to me. She was such a pure soul. I will miss her so much. She was part of my life every Tuesday for 7 years and she leaves a void. I am very fortunate to have known her and shared those days with her. Love you Gee. You will forever be remembered
So sad to hear Amanda is gone. She was my first love. Although we hadn’t been close since high school and college, we had reconnected online some years back and I was glad to see she had been doing well and had a beautiful family. I had always hoped to get to meet them. My deepest sympathies to her her son and husband. She will definitely be missed.
We offer our deepest sympathy to you and your family Tommy, for the loss of your dear brother. Our hearts go out to you during this sad and difficult time. Love from the entire Creef family.
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

Cheryl was a friend and we enjoyed working together in the Clinic at newport News Shipbuilding. I have framed the American Flag that she sent me from Afghanistan as a retirement gift. Betty and my thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time of their difficult loss.
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Cheryl at NNSY. I am so sad at hearing she had passed. She was always so quiet and was very nice to all of us in the clerical field. It sounded like she had a full life. May she rest in peace with no more pain. Betty
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.
PHIL AND I GREW UP TOGETHER SOME TIME BACK. I COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER FRIEND. OVER THE YEARS, AFTER HE NO LONGER LIVED AT VIRGINIA BEACH, WE LOST TOUCH WITH EACH OTHER BUT I THOUGHT OF HIM FREQUENTLY. HE WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MARRIED CONNIE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY.
HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM!
Dear Elizabeth,
I’m so sorry to learn of your Father’s passing. Please know that I’m thinking of you and your family. I remember the times your parents came to visit Drs. Howard and Georgeanna and what a gentleman your father was. I know that you will miss him.
Nancy💕
I was sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. 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. Our condolences to the family.
I offer my warmest thoughts, prayers, and love. Bill, and his wonderful since of humor, will be missed. I have fond memories of those Boiler Maker conferences, and how the fellas always included me in their outings and events. They were all uncles to me.
Hello Mark and Nanette! We’re sorry to hear about the passing of Pat. She had a long life and finally with your dad now: We offer our prayers and sympathy to you both.
Edgar & Anna delossantos
The world was a little bit better when Mary was in it. She was a very loving and kind thoughtful lady . She will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know her. I pray that God will comfort the family and friends and blessings when they continue their walk in this life. She was dearly missed by me.
Real SAD to hear about YOUR MOM’s passing.Its hard to loss someone you Love. One sure thing is that She is not suffering any more another good thing is that when its time for us who are left behind is there Will be someone to meet U Ur MOM & DAD in heaven & NEVER to part again Love. George & Anita
Having known both Charles & Carol since they moved to Knotts Island, our sympathies go out to the “boys” and other loved ones of Carol. She was a big part of the United Methodist Church as well as other community organizations. Carol was loved and will be missed.
I will always remember George for being such a loving father and husband along with having a zest for life. He was also a lot of fun to rile up in the politics arena.
I always loved his passion and I know that passion is now being put to really good use in the eternal presence of Jesus!
We are thinking of the entire family during this challenging time. So, sorry I will not be able to be there tomorrow. Love and Blessings to you all.
I was so sorry to hear about Margaret’s passing. We were neighbors for many years on Chesapeake Ave. In Portlock. Juanita Walker Thacker & Kim, Bobby and Susan
Mary, Marly and Brandi, you and your family are in our prayers during this difficult time, and the days ahead. We were sorry to hear of the passing our our neighbor Allen, and brother in Christ. If we can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call on us. Respectfully submitted, Michael and Sandra Farrow
I am so thankful & blessed to have know Linda and the Miller family. Linda always made friends, acquaintances & strangers around her feel welcome and at ease.
The numerous times that she went out of her way to offer a word of encouragement or present a valued item of her own to someone need are some of my fondest memories.
Brian, Dottie and family,
We are currently in Florida so we will be unable to attend the celebration of Linda’s life. Please know we will be there in spirit and love and will watch online.
Linda was a beautiful soul…always kind, assuring and positive. It was a blessing to get to know her and the family since joining the church. We, along with the rest of the KGPC family, will miss her. May you all be comforted to know she is now in the loving arms of her Savior.
Lauren, Rollie and Michael: Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your Mom(and Dad) were the sweetest and funniest people we have ever met. May they both RIP together.
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.
Sarah, I am sorry to hear about your mother. I didn’t know her but she must have been wonderful person to have such a beautiful daughter as yourself. As your aware I recently lost my mother and you will have good days and bad but will always have the special memories of her that will be with you forever and make the tough days, I hope a little easier.
Aunt Kathy was a loving person who I loved and appreciated. I’ll always remember our conversations and the stories we shared. Aunt Kathy, I’ll miss you but I know we’ll meet again in heaven. Say hi to Grandma, Gary and Jesus for me.😃👍
The days seem so long and I can’t really make sense of any of this yet. I miss you more than anything. I thought that knowing you weren’t suffering was going to make it easier for me but it doesn’t. I wish I could hug and kiss you one more time. I love you mom. I hope that you are living it up and having a great time where you are now. Just hold a spot for me. Xoxoxo
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.
Patty, I just happened to run across your Facebook page and notice that you were widowed.. I am so sorry I had no idea that David passed..
Hugs to you and your family.
Please accept my thoughts and prayers for your loss. Dicka was a dear friend in high school and a co-conspiriter in many high school “highjinks”. She is fondly remembered. Please notify me, if possible, when any celebration of life is planned.
Sharon and I were blessed to have had friendship with Terry and Corky. Our prayers are with you Lauren and Michael, and the family during this time of loss.
I recently learned that Bob Passed away. We were classmates at Charlotte Hall Military Academy, and he had a reputation of being one of the best commissioned officers. He was a leader and a role model for many of the Cadet Corps. I was hoping to see him at our next reunion, but alas that is not to be. Please accept my sincere condolences, Joe White
Carol, the story you crafted of Hunter was simply epic and befitting to him. I felt like He is a man, husband, father, grandfather, a son of God I hope to be when I finish my race.
To you Sis ever glowing with eloquence and transparency of valor be peace and angelic comfort. May the God of all kindness and rest give you a rest from Hunter’s celebration preparation. Love Ron
Carol, Skip and I were the same age and have memories of our Guess grandparents. My Dad was Uncle Herberts younger brother Lynwood. Remember Skip living with them. He was always such a happy face. He went on to make the world a better place. Bobby told me how you gave your all during his illness. Love to the family and especially to June who I have not seen in sometime. So sorry for your loss. Much love to all.
Linda shared her faith and love with me during my hard times. Her all encompassing hugs and smiles lifted my spirits. No one else like her. Her family is special and I’m sure they have holes in their hearts filled with grief.
I love her picture from Michael’s wedding and so happy she was able to dance with her son!
Roy was a childhood friend. We were almost the same age. He was my grandmother’s neighbor who I only saw on visits to her. I have not seen Roy for many years and yet he is an indelible part of my life. He died too young and he will be missed by many including me.
Nancy I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. Although I didn’t know him I am sure he was a great husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. My prayers and the families are with you all through the days ahead. 🙏 Be strong and know ALL is in GOD’S HANDS 🙏 ♥️ 🙏
Roccie, we are so sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. We’ve known you two for many years and have always enjoyed listening to the adventures you two took. We both know all too well how deeply this hurts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if there is anything we can help you with or if you just need someone to listen. Much Love!
To the entire Benner family, I wish to express my condolences to each and every one of you. Dicka was a wonderful lady, with warmth and compassion, She spent a lot of time with my mom ( which mom loved her company ) playing skipo all day long when she wasn’t working. Dicka will always be in my families thoughts and memory. so very sorry for your families loss.
Thank you Katie for being a part of my brothers for life all these years and being a part of our family. Thank you all for the goodies you made at Christmas time. The brownies are so yummy I will miss them and the pies too
It’s been a privilege to know Katie for a number of years. She was the type a person when you met her you felt like you’ve known her all your life. She never met a stranger and had the biggest heart of anyone I know. She was so lucky will have found her soul mate in Charles. Katie you were always have a special place in my heart my friend.
Kathy my friend we had so many great times together. I still can’t believe you are gone. I know you will be looking down and watching over those you loved from above.
Thank you for being a kind and friendly neighbor. Although I only know you for a short time, you’ll be missed. We will make sure your wife is taken care of! Be at peace.

I will miss Aribert Otto very much. He was a wonderful dancer!! He was a good listener and could cut through problems with wisdom. Since he was from Europe he had a unique view point. The waltz was his favorite dance. He loved to walk in the evenings and had a wry sense of humor. We were friends . Kathleen Blair
Anita a beautiful woman inside and out.
Dental visits were easier when you knew Anita was there and I believe “ in charge”
Prayer for a blessed journey to a heavenly family reunion. RIP
What a sweet soul. Katie was proud to be a member of Rescue 4 and she gave many hours in service. She will be missed by many.
Condolences to her family and friends.
Our hearts are breaking at the loss of your extraordinary mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Just knowing that Auntie Pat is now with Uncle Jr gives us great comfort that they are back together dancing and singing with the angels. Auntie Pat and Uncle Jr were truly two amazing people that my parents had the privilege of knowing for over 60 years. Auntie Pat’s heart was huge and filled with love for her family and friends. 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. Knowing that we all have two wonderful guardian angels up there helps to heal our hearts. With all our love, Andy, Jean, Darlene, Darlo Concepcion and family.
Carol, the story you crafted of Hunter was simply epic and befitting to him. I felt like He is a man, husband, father, grandfather, a son of God I hope to be when I finish my race.
To you Sis ever glowing with eloquence and transparency of valor be peace and angelic comfort. May the God of all kindness and rest give you a rest from the
Nancy, my prayers are with you and the family. All the times he stopped by to just talk to me, I reminded him he was the luckiest guy to have you as his wife and he agreed. Of course, he had too because it was true. Take care and let me know if I can help with anything.
My heart moans and missing Katie is overwhelming right now. We worked together for 10years. I witnessed her triumph over life’s trouble and health challenges. I didn’t expect to lose her so soon. I can say she was a great friend and joy to be around. Even when we disagreed, she was good at offering an olive branch! I could not stay mad. She also reminded me of the movie star Melanie Griffith.. which I told her often. Katie if you are reading my words forgive me for not being there to the end. Thank God you had your rock Charles! Praying for the family and friends who are also feeling this deep loss.
Katie was a beautiful person. Both inside, and out. She be friended me last year. Because , we had so much in common. This picture of her, and I, was the last time I saw her. It was at her last birthday party. The last time I spoke with her, was when she was released from the hospital. We all thought that she was on the mend. But, she is now up with God in heaven. Her pain, and suffering are now over. I have faith, that I will see her again one day. She will forever be in my heart.
I’m sorry that we lost you aunt Kathy but I know you and mom are together now me and grandma and uncle Chris will be here on earth making you both proud we love you. till we are together again.
I am so sorry to hear of Gene’s passing, he was a really great guy and I enjoyed our talks about cars and boats. My God be with his family in their time of need. He will surely be missed by all . R.I.P. Gene
I have many fond memories of Jim, my former brother-in-law. He was the epitome of the word entrepreneur. He was always presenting some new idea by beginning with “what do you think about this invention”. He was a good second dad to my nephews who loved him dearly. May he rest in peace.
Dear Susan,
I was so very sorry to see the announcement of Bob’s passing in today’s newspaper. It is my hope that you and your family find comfort and peace in your many memories.
You are in my prayers,
Kim
Sue,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Bob’s, but I didn’t know him very well. I remember talking to him on the 2016 class reunion bus. We connected in that we were both teachers in Virginia Beach City Public Schools. He was a great guy, and I wish I had gotten to know him better. I think we also talked when I was Director, Troops to Teachers for Virginia about possible bonus payments.
May he rest in peace, and I hope you and your family also find peace and take comfort in the numerous condolences from your friends.
Sue, I am so sorry for your loss. While I have only known you and Bob for last 5 years or so, I do feel a connection through the football game attendance. If there is anything I can do for you or your family let me know. Again my prayers are going out to you and your family.
Bob and I lived just a few hundred feet apart on 74th Street in Brooklyn prior his entrance to the Naval Academy in June of 1967. We were classmates at USNA until I left the Academy in 1969. 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.
We are so glad that Katie could be a part of our lives, even though it was not long enough. We will always remember her with a thankful heart as her gracious smile continues to live within us.
Darren and Michelle Spence
I will miss Del…He was a great person and friend that was like a father to me. I learned a lot from him and had lots of good times working on projects around the house and restoring old cars and trucks. Thanks for all the great memories.
We were saddened to learn of Del’s passing. He was the salt of the earth and a long time friend, graduating with us from MHS in the Class of 1958. We are forever indebted to Del for being instrumental in Ron’s hiring at Territory Wholesale in Medina, where they worked side by side for over 8 years. Our deepest sympathies to you all….you are in our hearts and prayers.
I want to offer my sincere condolences on the passing of Brad. Pancreatic cancer is such a devastating disease and I know Brad fought valiantly as he did throughout life in anything he attempted. Always a warrior and always doing his very best. May God provide you with strength and comfort at this difficult time and the days ahead.
Brad was a company ahead of me at OCS, I served with Brad in the Navy, and we worked together at AMSEC. What a great guy, always professional. My condolences to his family on your loss.
I’m so very sorry to hear about Brad’s passing. Sympathy and prayers to Brad’s family, to his parents, Robert and Janis, to his sister, Denise, and all of her family and to his brother, Kyle, and all of his family as well as to all who loved him.
SHIRLEY and family,
We are so very sorry to learn of Art’s passing. It has been so great keeping in touch all these years since graduating from Fort Plain (Class of 1950).
We will keep you in our prayers.
May Art rest in peace.
Doris & Dutch
I enjoyed working with Cathy for the last 18 years and she will be greatly missed. She was a sweet and helpful office friend. My sympathies to her family.
Cathy was one of our favorite customers. When she called we would talk for much too long about just everything. We laughed often & she kept us on our toes! We are thankful to help this family & we will so truly miss Cathy. Our hearts go out to you Billy, we are so sorry for your loss. We love you Patty & Ms. Olive too, we will keep you all in prayer.
Very truly, Paula Faivre, Tanya Lee, Monica Artis, Nikki McCrosky & Chris Selby at Paula Faivre State Farm
Ernie, Mary, John and the extended Boswell family my heart goes out to you at this very sad time. You are all in my prayers and may God watch over you.
Dave was my chief while stationed onboard USS Kalamazoo. After several years, we reconnected after talking to a friend of his who helped reunite us. Dave had a great personality and was a true leader and I am saddened to hear of his passing.
RIP Chief Beddow 🙏🏽
My heart felt condolences to Mary’s family and friends. I had the honor and pleasure to work with Mary for many years at Old Dominion University. She was a treasure as a co-worker and the functioning of the Psychology Department was facilitated by her professionalism and dedication. I was privileged to have shared many years at the university with Mary as a friend and colleague. May her memory be a blessing to her family.
Mary Paula was my cherished friend for more than 60 years. We have shared so many wonderful times. She loved my children and I love hers. She kept all my secrets well. We have special shared memories of beach trips and mountain and Pitt County NC get-togethers.
To Ernie, Mary Lane, John, Patrick, Cara and Meagan, I send appreciation and love for the way you loved and cared for this lovely woman.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Conway. He was a great guy. Lots of memories of him looking out for me at Falconer Central School. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.
I am very sorry for your loss. It was my privilege to have worked with Mary for many years at Old Dominion University. She was a treasure to the department and an amazing mentor to the new faculty. She will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her.
To Mary’s Family:
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.
Katie would light up a room with her awesome smile. So nice to people. She was an awesome first responder and her love for the Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad continued when she transition over to their support team. Simply the best.
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 know Mr. Jones will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. My deepest sympathies to the Jones family for their loss. You all remain in my prayers.🙏🏼💙
My sincerest condolences to your entire family. He was such a good, funny and generous man and I know he will be sorely missed. Sending hugs and prayers to all of you.
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!
So sorry to hear the sad news of Rufus’ passing Carole. May he Rest In Peace. He was a lovely man who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Joan (Claire’s grandma)
It is with admiration and love that we say good bye to Rufus. He was a person who impacted the lives of many and modeled the importance of family first, fun prevails and dance like nobody’s watching. Over the past 40 years we have shared Christmas morning. I will cherish those memories. Love to all the Jones! Let his light shine through you forever!
Kathy and I (John) are heartbroken after we heard that Rufus had passed. He was truly an inspiration to our extended family. He will be missed. God Bless and remember to wish for calm seas and mild weather during all of his travels in the afterlife. I guess it is finally time to pass over the river and rest under the shade of the tree’s.
Dear Carol,
Sumner and I are saddened to read about Rufus’s passing. We have so many fond memories of our Friday night dinners at Bayville. Rufus always had a funny story or skit. He will be missed by all that knew him. Our sincerest condolences.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Mary’s passing. I met Mary in 2014 when I became a graduate student in the psychology program at ODU. Her consistent support, encouragement, and kindness to me throughout the years made a difference in my life. May the love of God, family, and friends bless you with peace, strength, and comfort during this difficult time.
We were sorry to hear about Uncle Del’s passing. Prayers to Peg and family. He was beloved by everyone, a smart man, a gentleman, and it was always nice to see a smile on his face. He will be missed along with all the other Walck aunts and uncles. Take care–Ron and Patty
My heart aches for there will always be a hole that Rufus could fill. I still remember the first joke he ever told us. I have never laughed so hard in your company. He was the best medicine. Remembering all our trips around the world and USA that we took. They were the best of times.
With much love,
Steve and Debbie
Dear Kim and family, please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family for we just learned of Michael’s passing. May Michael’s memory be eternal! I cannot express the sorrow we felt to know such a giving person was taken from this earth. We pray you and your family find peace and comfort as others step forward to stand watch moving forward. I’m so glad I saw you before you moved and we wish you and your son well as you begin to pick up the pieces.
My sincere condolences to the Boswell family. Mary went above and beyond to help me throughout my years at ODU and her kindness always brightened my day. I hope the memories of her warmth can comfort you through these tough times.
We cannot imagine our lives without Rich. We remember him in every room of our home, including the room he slept in when we would go on trips early in the morning. We have another angel in heaven!
Our deepest, deepest sympathy to Ernie and family. Mary Paula was a wonderful neighbor and friend. Together Mary Paula and I picked out and planted a row of azaleas between our two homes. We hope the little bushes grow up to be a beautiful remembrance of dear Mary and her love for gardening. May each fond remembrance help you in some small way through this painful time.
I was a graduate student at ODU and Mary meant the world to me. She was always professional but most of all, Mary was truly kind. I spent a lot of time in her office talking. She always listened. Always shared herself. She always made sure I had classes to teach. Mary and her African violets are one of my best memories.
I have been out of touch with your family for some time, but I have many warm memories. Rich was always such a kind and gentle man. I am so very sorry. Too soon, too soon!
My thoughts and prayers to Cathy’s family. She was an amazing friend and beautiful person. Her heart was so big and she was always willing to help anyone. She was adored and loved by so many people. I’m going to miss her and will continue to keep her family close to my heart and in my prayers.
I worked with Richard at Alexander’s and was saddened to hear of his passing. He was a warm hearted person always willing to share his knowledge and friendship.
Rich and Jack watched me grow up. I’m sorry his journey here on Earth has come to an end, but I’m guessing he was probably needed in one of heaven’s fine dining restaurants. Much love to Jack and the family.
To Mary’s loved ones: I was so saddened to hear the news of Mary’s passing. I had the good fortune of knowing her for nearly 30 years through our ODU home. She was always a positive in this shared space. MGB 250 will never be the same without her. My hope for you is that your memories of her will give you comfort during this time and that they evoke more smiles than tears.
Ritch was like a brother to me, his family like my own. We played tennis, music and fished, and oh what a culinary king. I will miss him immensely but to reunite once again in heaven, he was a very spiritual man.
Sandy and I had the pleasure of meeting Rich years ago through our friends kevin and Lesley Arnold who were childhood friends of Rich. Even had the the pleasure of going to Jamaica with him 27 years ago. He is a wonderful friend and a truly great guy. RIP.🙏🙏
I am so sorry about Mary Paula, I am praying for the family. I have so many fond memories of her and I will always cherish her in my heart. She was/is such a remarkable soul and I know missed tremendously.
We want to express our sincere condolences to all of those wonderful people who loved Rich as we did! Jack, Angela, Brian, and Michael, Rich kept us updated on your lives and we are so grateful for your presence as he was initially healed and as he became ill again. We know the hole he left in your hearts!
To the “bros,” we want you all to know how important you were to Rich, even when you weren’t getting together. He loved your times in the Outer Banks, as well as the reunions in Northern VA.
To the various band members who played with Kevin, we expect your loss is as significant as ours! Rich loved travel. We went to Jamaica with him and Tom in 1979. He returned several times and continued to travel with us to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, we canceled our trip in 2020 due to COVID-19. We did
plan to return and Rich looked forward to our next trip! He will always be in our hearts!!
We want to express our condolences and love to all of Rich’s friends and family that loved him as we did! To Jack, Angela, Brian, and Michael, Rich kept us updated on your lives. He was so proud of you, Brian and Michael! We are so grateful for you and your care when Rich was sick and when he was well!
To the “bros,” we know how much you all meant to Rich! He loved the trips to the Outer Banks and the reunions in Northern VA.
To the various band members, we know the hole in your hearts is as big as ours! Rich loved to travel! We went to Jamaica together three times and to Amsterdam twice. We had to cancel our reservations in 2020 due to COVID-19, but we planned another trip as the city had opened up recently.
The picture was taken when we were 19. So many amazing memories! 💔😭
I am so sorry for your loss.
I knew Hank when I worked in Fitness at Westminster-Canterbury. He was a true gentleman, kind and caring. His mere presence always brightened my day. He will be missed.
I am so saddened to hear of Richard’s passing. I worked with him years ago at the Omni Hotel. What a kind a caring man! Nothing ever frazzled him at work. He was always the professional. Jack, my prayers are with you and your family.
I was so sad when I saw your fathers obituary in the Journal Scene. It has been a long time since those Mason Prep years. I still think about you sometimes when I pass by your house in Summerville. Please accept my prayers for you and your families at this time of loss. I know it is tough! Take care.
My over 30 year loyal email pal, how i miss Him. Always brought a smile to my face with his terrific sense of humor. Sympathy to His Family and Friends and hope Good Memories will Help Them Cope.
With Love,
Nina, His UPS Friend
Dear family,
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.
Sharing your sadness.
With love, Gabi
Our thoughts and prayers for Jo’ s family .
Always had good times playing golf at Kempsville and our road trips with the FROG group.
She was special and will be missed.
We loved Jo so much..we talked about her gift of sewing,golf,friends,and laughed a lot…God Bless her family and take care of them as she would..will miss her.and will always call her my friend…Marsha (gams) 3/23/20222
Couldn’t have hand-picked better neighbors and friends. Hank was a sweet and gentle soul. We’re gonna miss you. You know we’ll always have your beautiful bride’s back, as well as your sweet son’s. Rest peacefully in God’s arms 😘
Hankie, as we called him, was a wonderful and generous brother in law, but most important, a great friend. He was always up for anything when we were visiting and we always has so much fun. We will surely miss him, but we know we will all be together soon. Until then, RIP Hankie. God will be watching over our sister and nephew for you.
I am so sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I met Hank when I was working with the Tiger Team on the 6th Fleet Flag ship (USS LaSalle) over in Italy the last 10 years before I retired. I have fond memories of those times in Italy and the fine work that Hank’s men accomplish on the ship. But the best memories I have of Hank was our friendship after work when we would most always go by. Vic’s for a beer and
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.
David, Lisa and family,
I was sad to hear of the loss of your father, Darrell. Hoping you find peace in knowing he no longer needs to struggle in a position of declining health and loss of his quality of life. Remember all the lessons and memories you shared as a family when you think of your dad.
In sympathy,
Pam Daniels.
Carol I’m so sorry to hear Rufus passed away. I ran into Teresa Wilda today and she told me. Mom sends her deepest sympathy and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
My mother was a very Strong, independent and a remarkable woman. She was a woman of faith who taught my sons about Jesus and the Bible. My mother was a GREAT mother who helped her children, grandchildren and many others. She will be forever loved and forever missed. Thank you, mom, for EVERYTHING.
Daniel, Adam and I will see you again in Gods Kingdom, God Bless YOU Always and Forever.
Aunt Mae, I miss our phone conversations, usually about an hour long each time we talked. You were my Mom’s sister and now you are both gone from this earthly plain and are together again in heaven.
You were a blessing to me, thank you for our conversations. I love you. Your only niece, Wanda
Sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I had the privilege of working with Hank in Italy and France for 5 years. We drove to work together, checked in with each other during the work day, and left work together to discuss goals for the next day. He taught everyone so much about ship repair, and I was amazed with how much could be accomplished each day under his passionate leadership. He was well respected within the Navy and among the great men and women of the NNSY Tiger Team. I am so fortunate for the opportunity to serve with Hank. He was a true friend and mentor.
I was stunned to hear of Hank’s passing. What a wonderful human being. I first met Hank working on submarines early in our careers. He along with other friends, Carlton Page, Glenn Moring, Rick Shaw, CC Smith would go to festivals and such and had great times together. Even though our careers took different paths we would run into one another from time-to-time and reminisce. He never changed, positive outlook and a magnetic personality that everyone loved. Brother, you left us too early…rest in peace.
Mary was a special person that we had the opportunity to meet, if only for the shortest of time. Wish we had more time to learn from her about good books to read, new meals to try and restaurants to visit. We will miss her and hope Chuck will keep those special memories alive.
I have known this family for a long time. Worked with Barbara for a short time. Did the flowers for Sharon and Jack’s wedding and so much more. May you find comfort in the days ahead. Please pray for Patty – – she wad diagnosed with dementia several years ago and is now in a memory care facility in Lynchburg. This has been a difficult journey for our family. Love each of you.
Dear Smith Family,
Sending you prayers and thoughts during this sad time. My late husband, Malvin, and I lived across the street from your mother and father in Lake Smith Terrace for many years. They were such dear people and neighbors. After we moved, we still kept in touch with your mother for several years. May they both rest in peace together. Much love to each of you. Myra Scott
Please accept my most sincere sympathy. May many fond memories become treasures of the heart. May his Godly influence live on in the lives of those he touched along life’s way. Prayers and love.
Leonard glowed with the Holy Spirit, positive attitude and cute, mischievous smile. He was quick with his sense of humor, making us laugh. We loved his stories about the way life was in his boyhood. We will miss him dearly and that little twinkle in his eye. He touched our hearts. Love and prayers to his family. Linda and Neale Durkee
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in these days. My parents so enjoyed their time with Barbara and Leonard. So many wonderful memories of trips and time together at Trinity UMC.
Jay Denny
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Leonard and Barbara were dear friends to my parents. They had so many wonderful times together, travelling and time at Trinity UMC. I know Leonard’s bright smile always brightened their day.
Lou and I have have been good friends for 27 years. There are numerous examples of his skills all over the tidewater area which will keep his memory in everyones minds.He will be missed!
Rosey and family; Lud ( as I have known him from our high school days) will be missed. He was always a good friend to me and Jack. Am praying you can find peace and comfort through our Father above. Ellie
Leonard was a fine “Southern Gentleman”. I enjoyed being around Leonard at Trinity UMC and experienced his humor often. My condolences to his family especially Miss Barbara, Danville has missed them both…Barry & Frances Sides
DIck led a full life–and ever the gentleman. He and Lois were two precious people who I was fortunate to have as friends. My condolences to all of the family.
One thing that always stood out to me was the immense love and pride that Mr. Iveson had for his family!! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family and loved ones at this difficult time!! May God comfort you all.
Mary was a dear, treasured friend— very thoughtful, kind and caring. We are very grateful for all the great times and fun adventures we had together with Mary and Chuck, especially cruising the Panama Canal with Ken and Phyllis Lawrence and enjoying garden club parties and Knights Templar events.
Lou you were a great brother in law. I can still hear you laughing when I would tell you what I wanted to do with the house. Thank you for being there when you were needed. Enjoy your journey my friend. I know you telling Jesus where the mansions need repair. God bless.
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. I was blessed to have known her and honored to call her my best friend. I will miss her tremendously.
I will truly miss Catherine, we had our deferences but we were always friends. She would do anything for you if you needed help. She loved and cherished her daughter very much. Will miss talking about the good old days.Catherine you will be truly missed. Sending prayers to family.
You are one of my best friends and I am at a loss for words. We had great times over the years, especially watching Raising Hope with a roast beef sandwhich and a pepsi. You giving me nickname ( magnet also) cat herder. I love you so much. Untill we meet again my friend xoxo
Tiffany ‘Cat herder” Bildhauer
Catherine was a beautiful lady who will be greatly missed by anyone who was privileged to know her. There are no words to express my sorrow at her loss. My heart hurts for her family and many friends.
Mrs. Susan and family, please accept our condolences over the loss of your daughter. Tom and I will surely be keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
My heart and my spirit cry deeply for your family’s loss. I know the incredible love Catherine felt for her daughter who was indeed Catherine’s sunshine always. Catherine was my friend. She was there for me without judgement during a period in my own life when I truly needed that special friend. Her warm, kind heart, friendly and outgoing nature was shared so freely with everyone. While life and all our journeys had led us down different paths in recent years, she remained an inspiration to my soul and I loved her. I will always love you Catherine – YOU were my friend.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Catherine’s passing. Our condolences to her family and friends. We will always remember the smiles and hugs that she was so gererous to share. May your soul Rest In Peace. Those you left behind will miss you and hold you in our fondest memories. Love, Carolyn and Bunk
Jo was my neighbor and friend for over 20 years. She always had a kind word, shared her talents for sewing and golf, and stood ready to lend a helping hand. I will never forget the friendship and kindness Jo also extended to my parents when they visited from Roanoke. She was tremendously proud of Ron, their children, and grandchildren. Jo’s passing leaves a huge void in her family, but I hope and pray that they find comfort in loving memories of her.
In behalf of the The Coffey and Taylor family, we would like to express our deepest condolences. May you find strength, peace, and comfort during this time.
I taught with Hope for 7 years at Coronado. She helped me truly learn how to fit in at such an unusual teaching situation. Her wit, teaching expertise, and good common sense helped me learn to survive in that environment. Peace and hugs to her family.
Catherine was one of my first friends of childhood and I have so many happy memories from those times. Playing in the Court House area, Kellam & Eaton, church at Nimmo, Knotts Island, and her beloved childhood dogs (a big black lab and a Chesapeake Bay retriever), and more recently catch ups when we’d be at Sandbridge for a short stay in the summer. I am so very sorry to hear the news of her unexpected passing and I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. A couple of years ago she posted this photo on Facebook of us. Thought I’d share it again.
My heart is so sad with the loss of my niece, Catherine. I remember her as a beautiful, vibrant woman who lived life in an exciting, loving way. We miss you Catherine but know you have joined you father in heaven. With all my love.
I have recently heard about her passing away. I met Beth for the 1st time 22 years ago when she and my brother Jaime were getting married in Kingston, ON, Canada. 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.
My sweet girl I love you to the moon. Heaven is lucky to have you. Sleep tight don’t let bed bugs bite if they do hit them with a shoe till they’re black and blue. Until I see you again this isn’t good-bye.
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 am so sorry to hearing about Mr. Bunting passing away! He was a joy to be around and is Barbara. My thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and the whole family.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Eames
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember your mom’s smiling face at St Michael Lutheran Church in Virginia Beach and our shared “roots” from the state of New Jersey! We all send our sympathies to her whole family.
Chuck
So sorry to read about Mary this morning. The last line you wrote brought tears to my eyes. It’s been a long time but I always have the fondest memories of the original EDO team. Stay strong my friend.

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

So very sorry for the family loss!!! So devastating! Thankful for the gratitude of supplying organs! We love you so much Vivian and Courtney and Family! Fly HIGH Britney – much deserved! Nancy and Jasmine Sampson
Will always remember Leonard as we prepared for annual youth trip to Myrtle Beach. He had menus, food needs and total knowledge to help us do those 3 meals each day. Of course he and Barbara were so important to Trinity and were wonderful mentors. To each of you I thank you for allowing me to share my faith with you for many years. I too have great memories.
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 am not sure this link will work in the post, but I can think of no other song that is as appropriate as this.
Sweet Brittany,
There are no words to describe what many of our hearts feel now that you are gone. My heart breaks for your family and friends, especially your mom. You are loved by so many and you will be missed. As your spirit soars, I find comfort that you are with Jesus…no more pain, no suffering and no disappointments. God Bless YOU and the ones who feel the emptiness in their hearts that could only be filled by you…Sweet Brittany, Rest In Eternal Peace
I am so sorry to hear Dick’s passing. My deepest condolences to Joanne and Susan and Dick’s entire family during this time of sorrow. Dick was loving and kind. He loved the Lord and his church. Even after he left for Virgina, he always sent me a Christmas card. I was honored to receive his published poems. I will miss him very much! Praying for you, Joanne and Susan!
Barbara, Sharon, and family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort you at this time of sorrow.
Sorry to hear about my cousin. I got to spend a few years with him and micheal when they lived with me. I’m glad he had so much love around him. He was one of a kind and would be there for everyone especially family. Rest in peace sweet cousin
Betti and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you close in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing your friends and family are their for you in this truly difficult time. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.
Dear Betti and the entire Crable Family … what a loss you must be feeling. Butch’s laugh and smile were infectious, as you can clearly see in this picture. I am hoping those wonderful, fun family memories will help lift your spirits in the days ahead.

Dear Betti and family, I give my deepest condolences to you during this challenging time. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, in hopes that you may find peace and comfort.
I will forever remember your infectious smile your charm and charisma.The way you loved so deeply for your kids and tried to right your wrongs while still staying afloat. Teaching me to throw darts. TOOL System of a Down….the garage days. Amber you were beautiful inside and out. We had some less stellar times (great memories for us although our parents didn’t agree) but the better times will outlast forever. I love you! I’ll miss you forever my friend. My heart breaks for your beautiful children and your family. Give Greg a hug for me. Until we meet again….. Rest easy 💔
I’m so sorry for your loss. I so enjoyed all the hours I spent with Georgette. She was a lovely woman who had such a positive and interesting view of life. I know she will be missed by many in the UU community. Her spirit will live on in her family and all whose lives she touched.
My dad was a wonderful,loving father.I will always remember how loving he was to my mom for their entire marriage,that lasted over 71 and a half years!
Gail & family, Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Norm. Will always remember our times together at work & your sense of humor. You took such good care of Norm & enjoyed all your posts. G-d bless you my friend. ♡ Love Judy Robins
I am so sorry to hear of Catherine’s passing, she was such a bright shining light. We had some really great times back in the day, hanging out at the house and when she came out to visit me in California. My thoughts and prayers are with the family
My heart goes out to the friends and family of James Martin “Dustin” Beganski. I have known him since 1980, when we were both stationed at Naval Legal Service Office, Naples, Italy. He was a great friend, as well as a competent co-worker. In recent years we renewed our friendship on Facebook and via the telephone. Dustin was always able to make me laugh, and was a great Life Teacher. I feel certain he will be missed by all who knew him. He turned me on to the sound score of the play “Evita.” I will dig out some pics of Dustin and submit them at a later time. Fair Winds and Following Seas to you, My Friend. May Heaven be as much fun for you and those around you as Earth was. There is a shiny bright NEW star in the Heavens tonight — it is YOU! Much love, as always, Lisa Heydon, LN1, USN, RET.
Charles and I send our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy after the loss of your wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Gone too soon but will never be forgotten.
Dan has been a colleague for as long as I’ve worked at InnovaSystems Int’l, almost 17 years. His professionalism and his quiet, yet steady, demeanor will be sorely missed. But it is the husband, the father, the friend whose loss will be felt the most. My condolences to the family.
I am so very sorry. We were childhood family friends and even though I havent seen him in a long time, I always hoped he was doing well and my reading that he had moved to be closer to family I see that he was.
I’m sure he will be missed.
So very sorry for your loss. Dan was a good man. I pray that your bereavement pass with time and you are onlyeft with the cherished memory of your beloved husband and father.
We too are so sad to hear of Dan’s passing. Such a great friend and neighbor, he was always so helpful, always willing to lend a hand or advice. We will keep all of you in our prayers.
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” -Pericles
Dan was a wonderful neighbor to my daughter and her family. He was always willing to help. Rest in peace, Dan.
Rest In Peace, Olpa. I love you so very much thank you for being such a wonderful part of my childhood. So happy you met Westyn and we got to go fishing one last time. I love you❤️
We will miss Dan greatly. He was the strongest man we’ve ever known, & very devoted to his family, friends, neighbors, pets, & work. Sending you prayers, blessings, & love.
Dan always lent a helping hand. Dan was an inspiration, a mentor, sometimes a tormentor, all in fun, and Always a Brother. Time has passed since we last saw each other but I´ll carry our years of memories with me for the rest of my life. RIP my brother. I´ll see you on the other side.
I am saddened to learn of Major Alicea’s illness and passing. He was my Flight Commander at OTS in 1982. He was a good and decent man. He was the first Puerto Rican I had ever met. 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! One of my favorite memories was that if written work was not up to standard, he would return it with CaCa written in big red letters! My condolences to Mrs. Alicea and the family.
It’s taken almost a year for me to leave my thoughts, and yet I pause. I miss you, I miss our talks, I miss our flower shopping, vegetable shopping and I miss the limeade from Irwins. Bristol, has taken up your love of all things to grow. This makes my heart soar. Today is Easter, we went to Wickers, idk how but there was an empty seat at our table, guessing you were there. I miss you so horribly, but I see you, I see you all the time, from the small white butterfly in the garden to the many other “signs” Daddy, I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, but I know there is a presence of you still here, I promise I will not get stuck in the mud, I will go forward, Todd and I will make our way, we wil watch out for momma, a when its our time, you will be there to greet us with open arms..I love u, I look at “that pic” everyday the 1 where u met me for the 1st time, and I look at the pic of where and angel called your name, I love you and I miss you with every bit of my soul. Until we meet again, I love u daddy, I love you with my whole. HEART
TRACY Is a loving person I was glad we meet she treated my son Jonathan Casper like one of her kids I loved her for that she will be missed the family is in my prayers
Blaine was a gentle soul – I miss his presence in the neighborhood. He couldn’t hear worth a lick – but was always kind. God in heaven, please watch out for Blaine.
Mary was one of the first persons I met when I came to Harmony & I sat at her table
for dining and loved to hear her talk about her background with tales of Ireland, New York & travel & also of children & grandchildren. She was a member of our bridge group when it was first started & was also intent on learning more.. I will miss her visits to my apt. when we talked about politics & what was going on in the world. She was a lovely compassionate friend & she will be truly missed.
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.
Grandma Lorene was one of the most amazing, strong, funny, and spicy that I’ve had in my life. She always took care of me as if I was her own. She supported me as I grew, and most definitely always held me accountable when I started slipping. She let me it was ok to be great and still have a “spicy” vocabulary when times called for it. Lol! I am blessed to have had her in my life, especially during my teenage years. Grandma Lorene was loved deeply and will be missed greatly!
I am so very sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Mary and George were such good friends of mine and my sister Marge White. We dined at each others home and went out to eat often. Mary and Marge swapped books regularly. I had Mary on my list to call to tell her of Marge’s passing 3/22/22. I waited to long. They are all together now. My deepest sympathy to all the family. Sincerely, Betty Valz
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..
Jeannette held a very special place in my heart and we enjoyed many special occasions over the years. She definitely had an affinity to the beach sun and sand.She loved her kids and grand kids and always tried to do for them before herself. She had a big heart and loved her cats and dogs equally. She was a bright spirit to be around and she definitely touched my life in so many positive ways. RIP will always love you.
We will miss Virginia. She was a good friend and neighbor. May her soul rest in peace.
Our sincerest condolences for you and your family at this time. Our prayers are with.
Bernadette and Frank Donohue
I am thankful that I was able to see Jr. And support my sister his loving wife. He was so special to my son Travis. There was never a day we were not included in his prayers. He was a hard working, loving, caring husband, father and grandfather. I will never forget his first visit to WV. , his first 4 wheeler ride and his love of Timothy and friends live bluegrass music. He was so excited and always enjoyed his visits. He will hold a special place in are hearts forever.
Our deepest sympathy to the family on the lost of your love one. Lorraine was a very funny, caring and loving person. One of her best childhood friend growing up on Cary’s Chapel Road, Aralla Banks, also sends her condolences to the family.

Liz was a kind and generous neighbor who had remarkable skills sewing! She made wedding dresses for two of my daughters and a my grandson lugged around Adam a life size “buddy doll” Liz made, the first two years of his life. Liz accompanied my oldest daughter to the delivery room for her first child, and she served horrible instant coffee, but great conversations! Condolences to her sons and daughter.
Never more then a thought away.Elizabeth loved her yard & flowers and shared many flowers with me.
She was lucky to have Her Son Daughter & Brandon looking out for her.We will miss her Goodies & seeing her sitting on porch.Hugs to the family
She was a good and loving friend we shared many happy and fun filled times together . I will truly miss her. To her family she loved al of you dearly .
You were the most loving devoted Mother any child could have ever asked for! Things were not always sunshine between us but till the day you went to be with God you would have done anything within your power for your kids. Your love for us has always came first.
One of the best Angels on earth has gone home and I hope you are with grandma, grandpa and the boys!
We will see each other again, until then know you will never be forgotten and be missed everyday!
My heart aches for your loss. Jeanne was a wonderful person with a huge heart. My thoughts and prayers are on their way to the family. I’m truly very sorry, gone way too soon.
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 thoughts and prayers have been with Kenny and his family for the past weeks, since I found out about Kenny’s illness. He was always positive and upbeat, as it sounds like he was all the time. I graduated with Kenny from High School and only saw he and Ellen rarely since then. However, I always remembered them. Such beautiful people of God.
Ellen, Kenny, Shannon,Cory and family we are so sorry about Kenny. He was a great guy and family man. We enjoyed going to the beach to see the Sloane family when we were with Allen’s. Always a party. Many wonderful memories. Can’t make it on May 1st but home to see this summer. Love to all! Take care.❤️
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!
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 🙁
May the God of all comfort hold each of Kenny’s loved ones who mourn his death in the Everlasting Arms with the eager expectation that Kenny will welcome them into his arms in the life to come, which was made possible by the outstretched arms of the crucified and resurrected Son of God!
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.
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.
Words fail me as I try to convey my love for both Vicki and Donnie and to describe the effects of cancer on a loving family. We need Jehovah’s new world so badly!!! One day soon we will welcome back dear Donnie to a paradise earth. Until then we need to help each other endure whatever life brings.
Donnie will be missed greatly. I will hold him in my memory until Jehovah says, “Donnie, come out!” Much love, Toddy ❤️
I knew Kenny from many visits involving food and wine; in his restaurants and other places. He was a friendly man with his lovely wife always nearby. He made people feel comfortable and will be sorley missed in the usual hang outs. Bless you all, I pray for your comfort.
In life we come across individuals that make an impact on our lives and Kenny was truly one of those men…..A true professional in both the Nuclear Industry and the local Culinary field he was a leader with new and challenging ways to do buisness…..A friend to all who knew him never without a smile on his face and a laugh we will always remember my condolences to his family friends and many coworkers but I know we can find peace that if we live our lives as Kenny did we will see him again……May the good LORD bless and keep you my friend❗️🙏
To the family and friends who shared laughter, food, wine and love with Kenny, you have my sincere condolences. He will be missed by so many and we will have fantastic memories of the special person he was. Sandy, My heart breaks for you the loss of your brother and to Ellen and the rest of the family you have my deepest sympathy.
Our sincere condolences to Ellen and the entire Sloane family. Kenny was one of the happiest, caring, thoughtful and giving person we knew. He will be missed but never forgotten.
It saddens us that you are gone. We will truly miss you. Thank you for all you have done for us over the years. Personally I would like to thank you for helping me to become a better man, husband and father. I will never forget our first trip on the water. I out fished you and thought I was a fisherman. 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. He left the world a better place with his love for all. We love y’all and will continue to keep you all in prayers.
Cindy, Meghan, Jeff, Andrew,
Our deepest, heartfelt condolences to you and your families. There are no words to describe the sadness in our hearts to hear of Warren’s passing. We have such fond memories of Warren, a terrific father and a loving husband, a good neighbor and a true friend. Remembering all those happy days in Fairfield.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
Love and prayers, Naomi & Glenn
Our deepest sympathy and condolences for Ellen and the entire Sloane family! We met Kenny and Ellen Shag Dancing. Our fondest memories of Kenny was when he had an idea! Like taking pictures at the Surry Christmas Parties…OR… when he said he wanted to dance in United Ways Dancing with the Stars! Which he won the Peoples Choice Award!! Of Course he did! Kenny was a ‘people kind of guy!! RIP Kenny. You will be missed but you legacy of love and family will live on! May God bless The Sloane Family in their days to come! Remember to cherish the memories!!
Much Love,
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.
I am so saddened to hear about Mr. Tony’s passing. He was so loved here at the IT service desk at NNSY. He was such a big part of this family and he will be missed. God’s blessings to his family and friends on this solemn occasion. Celebrate his life because he had a great one.
I must have called Tony for help a million times when I started at NNSY and he answered every single time, we shared our love for the Air Force often. He was a extraordinary technician and even better man. Romans 8:18 “Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later.” Rest in Glory brother.
Dear Vicki and family,
Donnie was a much loved member of the Northampton Congregation. We will all remember his smile, his patience with children, and his steadfast spirituality. May you find comfort in knowing that he is in Jehovah’s memory, and we will see him again.
Truly, his was a life well lived.
I am so sorry to learn about Kenny’s passing. He was a great guy; a good friend and loved life to the fullest. Recently we were communicating back and forth about Kenny’s health situation and my fiancées health challenges too. Kenny was concerned and praying for my fiancée while we were praying for Kenny. I know they are celebrating together in heaven. Two wonderful men taken too soon yet they’re in God’s care. My deepest sympathies to Kenny’s family and many friends.
I worked with Nancy at the Corps of Engineers. She was such a sweet person and I am so sorry to hear that she has passed. May God be with her family at the difficult time. She will be missed. Diane Boswell
Karen and Family, I worked with Nancy for a number of years at the US Army Corps of Engineers, and have very fond memories of our years together not to mention the the wonderful cakes she baked, all for the sake of making others happy. Always keep in your heart how much she loved you and your brother.
My sincerest condolences for you and family at this time.
“Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. …and praying you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. …
Ellen,
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers as you and your family grieve the loss of your husband and father of your sons, but also rejoice in the full life of service to others.
My sympathy to Karen and the entire family. I send many hugs, especially to Karen as I have been married and widowed twice. It has been many years since Karen and I have seen each other, but I remember her well .Prayers to smooth the rough spots. Mary Leeper Holland.
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.
So sorry for the loss of your mother 😔. Hard to believe we were just celebrating with her and your family just a week ago. I know she will be missed ❤️ Hugs a condolences to you and all all her families.
Vickie will always be apart of our lives as we had such wonderful childhood memories with her and Natalie when we were kids. Halloween was always a fun time with them to as Vickie always pulled out all the stops. We will always think of these fun times and her smile that always went with it!
Jami and Laura Ditto
Vicki, I know your heart has great sorrow right now. Even though you will miss Donnie greatly it is my prayer you are not overly saddened by your loss. Jehovah will provide the comfort you need until you see your Donnie again. And very soon you will be able to spend everyday together forever 🙏🏼 Love you Lots! ❤️

My heartfelt prayers are with Ellen and the Sloane family. May God hold you in the palm of His hand and give you peace. Kenny loved life and his fellow man and will be missed by the many who knew and admired him.
Natalie, Cherish the memories of your Mom, she will forever stay in your heart! “Wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain.”
Virginia was such a gentle soul, quiet but always smiling at church. First Presbyterian Church of VB is missing her. May her family find peace as you share memories of a special lady.
Sincerely,
Diane Feineis
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.
It was going on 54 years that we had been friends but we were as different as day and night but we made it work . I still want to pick up the phone to call too see if you are alright I miss you so much . I’m just thankful that I don’t have to wait 54 years years to see you again in heaven . When it’s time I’ll be looking for your hand to pull me up . love you your friend and sister Gail
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. May Our Lord and Blessed Mother comfort you during this difficult time of great loss- a void that can never be filled. We miss you Willie, but you suffer no longer in the loving arms of Our Lord. Requiescat in pace.
May Jehovah continue to comfort Vickie and family. We Remember the dedication he had for Jehovah and being on site for Jehovah’s house construction, and the kindness shown by them both picking me up to travel to the various sites.
Davis Family
I remember the time we went to the art museum together. Slowly walking through admiring each piece, our eyes catching the same details. You and I appreciated art in the same way. I wish we could have shared more artistic experiences together. Love you always.
Your granddaughter,
Tasha
You were a friend to all and you always had time for others. You will be missed, but not forgotten. We all still laugh at some of the things we did when were younger. God will have a new mechanic to work and keep his cars looking great.
To Andrew’s Family,
We’ve known Andrew for over 40+ years and were very sad to hear of his passing. Please know that you’re in our thoughts and prayers and if there’s anything we can help with please let us know. With heartfelt sympathy…Terry, Debbie and TJ Linkous
Ellen, Kenny Jr., Cory, Grandkids, etc., it never seems fair when someone with so much love and reason to live is taken so quickly. 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
Willie was a great person and a good friend. He was always up for a challenge and has worked on my car many times. His attitude on life was inspiring . He always had a positive attitude. He will truly be missed by all that knew him.
Rest In Peace My Friend.
We are so very sorry for your loss.. we are very glad we got to meet Willie a few times and he made us feel instantly comfortable. He clearly had so much life in him making it all the harder to know he is gone. May his spirit be with you and may you be able to look forward to the day when you will see him again.
Hello Ruthann and Margaret,
I would like to send a card but unfortunately I don’t have your addresses. I am so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. My Mother Isabel, passed in 2019 and I know all too well how hard it is to say goodbye. We both had wonderful, kind, charitable Moms.
What a great blessing they were to our lives. Stay close to each other. My email address is attached if you’d like to stay in touch.
***Ruthann-I still remember with fondness, your thoughtful gift of flower bulbs you sent at the time of our son’s passing in 1994. God bless you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I’ve known Nancy for many years through her sister Gerry. We had a lot of fun times, dancing and partying with the Shag Club. She will be missed.
My deepest condolences to the James family. I met Tony working at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. He was always eager to lend a helping hand. Always there to give encouragement to his fellow workers. I can not ever remember seeing him without a smile on his face-It was always there. I remember the day we met and I saw his favorite football logo-He asked me if I was a fan. I responded “New England” to which he responded “It’s Ok, I’ll still be your friend”. Rest In Peace Brother.
GJ.. I miss you more than anything in this world. Not a day is going by that it gets any easier, but I know that yesterday, today, tomorrow and FOREVER you will be with me. I’ll keep trying to make you proud, forever and always my G.
I knew Kenny back in the late 60s / early 70s when I worked for his farther and I’m very sorry to hear of his passing, I offer my condolences to his entire family. I have to say these are wonderful tributes being left here, and from what I remember of Kenny I can’t say that I’m surprised. God bless you all.
Willie is one of those souls who will always be present in our hearts and through our memories live on. My deepest condolences to the family. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless ~Mabel and family
Our deepest sympathy to the Scougal family on the loss of such a dear man as Cal Scougal. We, as a church family, will remember him fondly. We love you Kay!
Kay, Our sincere condolences. What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. I feel so lucky that Cal was part of our family. His smile would light up a room. I loved to hear him talk about his navy days. Please let us know when you need anything. I can’t express how much we loved and cherished Cal.
So sorry to hear Andrew as passed my condolences to all of family and friends .
Andrew worked for me at Central Auto Parts for several years .
Always a true car guy very personable, knowledgeable,helpful and honest .
Andrew always had project going or deal to be had !
Andrew enjoyed his hobby & his life he will be missed by all his family & friends .
R.I.P. Andrew
I owe a lot to Betty. She cared for my husband for almost ten years. Losing her was more like family. I wish I could tell her just one more time that I loved her. The Lord has taken away her pain. May she rest in peace knowing she was loved.
Aunt Joann and family. I am so very sorry for the loss of Betty. She was a wonderful person. May you find peace in all the loving memories you have created over her beautiful lifetime.
My Friend you will be dearly missed by friends and the auto/ truck community . We had a lot of fun working together at the COH and after hours . We all will miss your knowledge wit and sense of humor . Bette and I will never forget the auction we went to with you and you were taking other peoples bid cards and holding them up . We laughed so hard our sides almost split . Thank you for your friendship of almost 35 years . RIP until we meet again
Bette and Johnny Shorter
We had many good times together at work and the different conferences that we worked at with the city of Norfolk. We always laughed a lot together when we were together. I’m sorry I didn’t realize how ill you were. Rest in peace my friend. My condolences to Teresa and your daughters.
Uncle Cal was a big presence in my life when I was a small child in Fairbanks, and even when we moved to Washington State and he was in Virginia, he would travel cross country by bus to be with us on holidays. 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. I’m thankful he was in my life. Rest in peace, dear uncle.
I met Carole when Kindred Spirit was part of the Palace Shops in Ghent. She was always welcoming and kind. She was and will always be a bright light, shining in my memory.
The memorial service for Bob will take place at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Peninsula, in our Sanctuary at 415 Young’s Mill Lane, Newport News VA 23062, starting at 3:30pm on Sunday May 22nd. The service will also be live on Zoom via: https://uuma.zoom.us/j/98800836839
Jenna, Bethany & Family
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.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Deepest sympathy to you all. Denise raised lovely daughters! Two of the three ( Jenna and Addie) were my smart, kind, respectful, third grade students. That is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
Jenna, Bethany and family,
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I haven’t seen your Mom in years, we were very close when you were little. I know she will always be around you, your siblings and her grandchildren watching over you all. Thinking of you, Shelley Creasy
I was a friend of Mike’s younger brother Harry in grade school. The Dunstan house was one I visited often. 35 years later I ran into Mike in a crowded City Hal elevator. After all the other passengers stepped off, he said to me “I would have spoken but I just remembered you by your nickname: “Porky”. Condolences to the Dunstan family on the loss of a brother, father, friend.
Carlos was an amazing person and amazing artist. He was so nice I’ve known him since 4th grade. He is a great lost to all of us, but most of all his parents. I am truly sorry for your lost and will keep you in my thoughts.
I worked with Mike at the City of Norfolk for a number of years. He was a fine man and a great co-worker. His sense of humor was legendary, and we spent many lunch hours talking sports and especially baseball which Mike loved. My condolences to Teresa and their daughters. He will be missed.
My heart is with the family of Mike and I am very sorry for your loss.
Mike is an old friend that I will always love. We played Little League baseball together and I would see him on occasions at some sporting events.
Mike was a PRINCE of a man and it always showed. I’ll miss him dearly.
My first post, more to come. I invite everyone to share stories and pictures.
I was 2 years old when mommies big belly came along. Then one day mommy came home with a live doll baby for me to dote on. Yes, that was Charlene who I promptly started taking care of and did until the end. The house is not the same home it was with you in it. Sassy and Kacy will be looking down the hallway for you to come walking down it for a long time. I love you and miss you. Veronica
We were not only previous coworkers but also friends. I have so many good memories of her, she always made me laugh. RIP Poodle, I miss you & love you.
My deepest condolences! Just know she gained her wings & is no longer suffering! I am forever grateful to have called her a friend & to have had the honor to love her! 💜
Charlene was a wonderful friend and beautiful soul. Her humor always put everyone at ease. We will miss having lunches to just laugh and have fun.
Sending our love and prayers to Veronica . May your memories with Charlene give you comfort.
I want to offer my condolences to Theresa and the family on the passing of your husband, father, granddad, & brother. Mike was such a special person, who always put a smile on your face! Mike, I will miss you brother!! Jimmy Query
In Venice after her graduation from college. Charlene was a friend for many years Her strength and courage, and her caring and honesty are examples everyone could learn from. Heaven is richer now that she’s home, and those who knew her are blessed for having known her.
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.
My condolences to all who mourn her passing. I wish I had gotten to know her a little better. I can remember the last time her, I and Veronica had dinner at the Smokey Bones together. Good times!
MIKE HAS BEEN MY GOOD FRIEND FOR MANY YEARS. THE WORLD WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT HIM. MAY GOD BLESS AND SPEED YOU TO HEAVEN. MY HEARTFELT PRAYERS TO THEARSA AND ALL MIKE’S CHILDREN.
On behalf of Franklin Heights Church, we are very sorry to hear of Mrs. Crim’s passing. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. At the same time, we rejoice in the promises of God.
Ellen, I am so sorry to hear of Kenny’s passing! I’m praying that with all the wonderful, loving memories you two have had, you will be able to find some peace and comfort. I am also praying for your extended family and friends who will miss his affectionate smile and love! 🙏🙏🙏
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!!!
If this is the same Kathy who worked at Geico, please contact me via email toodiewho777@gmail.com. We stayed in touch and I’ve got something of hers! My condolences to the family. She was a lovely lady.
Bobbie, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Michael, I loved him like my little brother, I will always cherish my memories growing up with him . Love you always Stephanie
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 deepest sympathy to Kenny’s family, friends and all who loved him. Kenny, you will be greatly missed. Your love of life and especially the love of your family and friends was a light and inspiration to all. The world’s light dimmed when you left us, but I’m
Sure that Heaven is shining even brighter with you there. ❤️
Just hearing of this tragic news. Sending continued love to April’s mother and family. Praying April’s spirit is soaring happy and light. Much love to you friend.
THE BROWN FAMILY(PENNY,DOT.PEEDY,MICHEAL,CRIS AND LADY) on
I REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIME WE HAD GROWING UP. I REMEMBER WHEN WE WOULD STEAL APPLES FROM THE TREES AND EVERYBODY GOT IN TROUBLE. I ALWAY FELT AT HOME WHEN WE WENT OVER THERE YAK YOU WILL BE MISSED CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY WITH LOVE.
Monica, I am so sorry for your loss! Your father sounds like such a delight man and father. I know he must have been so proud of you! Please know that I am thinking of you and your family during this tough time!
Page
Linda and I are sorry that Carrol has passed. He was a great 4H Dad. Always jumping in and doing what needed to be done. A good guy. An example to all Dads on what you need to do to be with your kids and part of their lives. I know you will miss him. Love to you, Monica and Robert. Please know that we are thinking about you, praying for you, and here if we can help.
Sabine, sending prayers for you and your babies. It is never easy saying goodbye and I pray your memories and moments will be shared throughout the years with your babies. God bless you and keep you until you meet again. ❤️
I will never forget her joyfulness and high spirits , especially her happiness . The memories I have with her at my wedding in 1993 , Germany and she was so happy to attend (her first wedding in Germany ) . She was always a special person in my heart . Confidence to her family . Alles Liebe auf Deiner letzten Reise !
Yak, you were just a baby when I left home, but I remember you fondly as the baby of the pack. Your life was cut so short, but I know you will reunite with your Mom and Dad and siblings and you all will have a great Family Reunion. It is a journey we all must take. RIP my dear cousin. Deepest condolence to the family.
I worked with Teeny at NOSTRA in the 1970’s and we had remained friends ever since. She was one of the most unforgettable people I have ever known and I loved her dearly. My condolences to her family.
Joan Emerson
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.
I’ll never forget how Mike and Teresa were such an extended family with our girls growing up. Thank you so much for being such a great neighbor, and friend, we can never repay your generosity and hospitality. God speed to Mike, he made me smile every time I saw him and was a genuine man. Prayers for all your beautiful girls and family.
Our hearts are heavy but our souls are joyful fore Teeny’s resurrection. She was a breath of fresh air, a joy to know and a wealth of knowledge to be sure. Jimmy’s mom, Gloria Dare Rogister Gray was Teeny’s cousin and the two of them had many wonderful adventures. When Gloria passed away, Teeny became our pseudo-momma. We loved our visits and phone calls and emails with her. We were blessed in so any ways by her love and life. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
Condolences to Tom, my cousins from Lallie, my mom and the brothers, and all who loved Lallie. Her ability to forget herself in laughter brought joy we otherwise would not have known and made life better for all of those whose hearts she touched. I am grateful for the love and moments you shared with me. Rest in peace.
My heart aches with your passing, I miss you so much already. Thank you for the gift of your friendship. I will continue to pray to God that he wrap his loving arms around Ellen and the entire family and give them peace while they grieve. God has surely gained another Angel.
Our sympathy to “Teeny’s” family, but Praise God for her entrance into heaven! Thanks so much for the terrific obituary you have given us. It is just like we knew her personally and we hope that people who read our obituaries some day will get the same feeling. We are blessed to be able to call Sarah, her daughter, our friend and it is easy to understand her deep love she has for her mother. May God Bless you all!
Memories of my mothers stories of Little Teeny. I only met her a couple of times but my impressions of her were…What an explorer! Her love of travel. God bless the family!
Aunt Nancy, a year have passed since you received your wings. Virginia, Kayla and I missed you. We think about you all of time. We will see you again in heaven someday.
I am so sorry to learn of Carroll’s passing.. I worked with him at Public Works at Cheatham Annex for many years. He was such a nice man. Always had a smile. Thinking of his family and praying for them during this difficult time. Rest in peace Carroll. 🙏
Dear Maria – I just heard about my cousin Hunter’s death yesterday. Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing. He was always a quiet person and it sounds like he slipped out of life that way. I’ve always admired him for his service to our country during the Viet Nam war. He served bravely and came out with injuries that followed him throughout the rest of his life. I felt the latter years were his most peaceful and happiest. I wish I had known him better. My thoughts are with you while u adjust to life without him. Sincerely, Alex and Harold Cook
Wendy, I am so sorry you and your family are rightfully grieving. Joe was a unique human being. He enjoyed socializing with his colleagues especially when he was given the correct answer to a crossword puzzle. I worked with him for 15 years until it was time for me to say goodbye. Joe was off the week I was to retire, but on my last day he came by to say goodbye.
He also did some plumbing work for Mike and myself until his back gave him trouble.
Peace and prayers to you and all your family. Jo-Ann
I am Lillie Belvin Roger lee Belvin’s daughter I want to share something with you that me and my dad did together so I was 5 years old and he bought me my very first bike and he taught me how to ride even though I would fall but he put me right back on and never let me fall and now I’m 11 years old and I can’t believe that it’s been 2 years I love and miss my dad so much and rip my father in heaven
We are so sorry to learn about the loss of Sheilah. and send our deepest sympathy to the family- Please know that you all are in our prayers.
May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Praise the Lord – Teeny is now in the arms of Jesus! She was such a sweet person and I remember her fondly. Sarah, Susan and I (and many others) grew up going to FBCNN downtown together and I have wonderful memories of that time in our lives. Cherish all the many memories and she will always be alive in your hearts. Praying for the peace that passes all understanding from our Lord during this time of grief.
My deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Bredehoft. My mother was her friend in Mainz Germany and I remember their phone calls after they were both in the US, as I remember my mother’s laughter during the phone calls. Mrs. Bredehoft was so kind to me when my mother passed away and I will always remember her. 🙏
Greetings all, I would like to write a “book” about all that Mr and Mrs Emmett have meant in their lives and in their ministry to me, to our school and to all those whom were blessed to know them. But many are better equipped to do so than me. All I can say is that I loved him very deeply and am so grateful to God that He provided Mr Emmett to me as a teacher and a guide. He was nothing but a blessing to me!!
Betty was a true example of putting God on display. In other words, His light shined through Betty every day. She always had a kind word, a smile and a hug for anyone who crossed her path. I’m beyond thankful that I knew Betty and for all the great memories we shared along the way. Like the road trip we took to Pastor Tom & Gwen Clocker’s daughter’s wedding years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with Diana and Linda and their extended friends and family. May God fill you with His Peace. Love, Sandy
Don was among the most influential leaders in my life. For decades, he was one of Norfolk’s finest citizens. Countless fond memories. My deepest sympathy to Betty and the family.
So very sorry for your loss. Had some pretty good times working with Carroll at Cheatham and Yorktown. Carroll will always be a part of my memories, as will his stories
Sincerely,
Steve M.
Betty was a lovely lady and so much fun to socialize with over the years. She and her sister Ruth were amazing friends never to be forgotten.My prayers are with her precious family.
Wendy, I am sorry to hear about Joe. We worked together on and off, for over 40 years
and for four different companies. We also had a lot of good times hunting. He will certainly be missed. God bless you and his family. John Cannup
One of Lifes greatest blessings is to have a true friend. Bobby Jarman was just that to
many people including me. We shall greatly miss him. He left for us a good example to follow.
Linda and family, Richard and I are so sad to hear the news of Bobby’s passing. We talk often about all the hot wings and movies we all shared on Tuesday nights! And the SKIPBO game with 6 couples at your house! I am so glad that we got to see you both that time we visited Va. Beach.
We send our love to you🙏
Annette & Richard (aka doc.) Hansen
Phil was a great friend and competitor. Level headed and always great to have a discussion with. He was on the water not as a fair weather sailor but stuck it out in rain and sleat late November just to finish the Frostbite series. He leaves a huge hole in our club and large shoes to fill. We dearly miss you Phil
your MIRAGE / MYRAGE crew
Sail on, sail on, sailor. Phil always wished us “good luck, but not too much” when sailing against him. By “good luck” I think he meant good luck trying to beat me. Greatly Missed by me and all our crew. Leroi/Voodoo 2
Don, we are all broken 💔 😢 hearted. You have left a huge hole in our lives. We understand because you put up great Fights every time something was thrown your way. Your will to live as long as you could with the love of your life will forever be in my heart. Your my hero.
We will love you and cherish our 22 years of friendship that turned into family forever until we meet again. Rest in Paradise CHER
I knew Phil from afar, normally with “Feather” in front. He was always smiling, upbeat and in the hands of great friends. Always a good sport, and lived and sailed an incredible life. Farewell Phil, you will be remembered long into the future at the Hampton Yacht Club.
Teeny always had a smile and a word of encouragement for everyone. Her love for the Lord and zest for life we’re an inspiration. What a full life she lived!
Wendy – We were saddened to see that Joe has passed from this life. We have good memories of him and will never forget. Our hearts are with you and family during this time of healing.
I was so sorry to see John’s obituary in today’s daily press. I have so many fond memories of John during my internship at Riverside [1971-2], as a Radiology Resident [1972-5], and finally as his partner at PRA. John could effortlessly make all those around him feel at ease with his kind and outgoing personality. His endless array of great jokes made me always think that his 2nd profession could be that of a stand-up comedian. He was a wonderful man and I’m very sorry for your family’s loss. I was extremely fortunate to have him as such an important part of my early career in Radiology. I’ll cherish his memory for the rest of my days.
I have many memories of Milton and Esther and my mom and dad, Jean and Henry. Some of my memories are of them having oyster roasts at our house or their house, and mom working with Esther in the Maple post office. Sirley Jane and I played her 45 rpm record collection in the her bedroom while the adults gathered in the kitchen. Also, my Aunt Evelyn Lane and family lived next door to the Walkers and my grandparents lived next door to my aunt. There are many many good memories.
Simply put, Don made the world a better place. His kindness and big beautiful caring heart made him easy to love and befriend. He had the unique selfless gift of providing comfort to others even when he was suffering. He will be greatly missed. Sending love and hugs to his beloved Scott, their fur babies and family and friends. May the memories you shared carry you through the days ahead. Rest well and in peace, Don, you’ve more than earned it my friend.
Tracy, Lesley and families,
There are no words we can say to comfort you. No condolences that would ever express the love we have for your dear, sweet Mom.
She was not only a life long friend, but she was a second mom to Lisa and I, and the sister to my mom that she never had.
We will miss her smile, her laugh, our little talks. We will miss sharing dinner with her, and her calling or texting about how much she enjoyed it.
She will forever be in our hearts, until we see her again in Heaven.
Our love to all of you.
Tracey, don’t be a stranger. You and Lesley both know we are here if you need us.
God bless you and wrap His loving arms around you, and give you Peace.
My love, prayers and condolences to all of Don’s extended family, especially to you you Scott. Don was a sweetheart and he made the world a brighter place. His impact on all of us are felt and remembered.
Evelyn was a classmate at York High School and more importantly a friend that I shared laughs with. My deepest sympathy to her family. God’s blessings on you all.
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.

Jesse was a fun and great guy. He was my classmate at Norcom High School and I knew him from NNSY. We had some great times together. He was fun to be around.
John was my classmate in medical school. He was a great person and a superb friend. We corresponded by email many times during the last several years. We attended several reunions together at WVU.
John’s humor always brightened the day.. I will miss him.
I trust that God gave him an easy passage from this world to the next eternal one!
May God bless Joan and the family.

Don is going to be truly missed he was so kind hearted always willing to help anyone i definitely gonna miss his dancing and singing wow no more suffering you have earned your wings fly high friend fly high 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you to Steve for bringing me into his family 30ish years ago and giving me a “Virginia” family. Your mom was so protective of me and gave me SO MUCH unconditional love. I loved our almost weekly lunches and the hours we spent sitting in her den just chatting. I miss her feisty spirit, her giving heart, and mostly her unwavering support.
Phil you are the founding force and spirit of sailing in Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay. Each of us know the kind ,warm and generous spirit that you engender in every human being you met..The sailing world probablly doesnt know the full impact you had on Southern Bay sailing. You personally stabilized and grew CCV in its infancy. You created races when none existed; you mentored ALL OF US and we are all deeply grateful. THE HYC BAR HAS FOREVER LOST A STOOL..SO IT GOES. nameste my friend. bouchard/ganar/bumps.
I worked with Sirley at Jonathan Corporation. She always had a smile for everyone and we had some really good times. May God grant peace and comfort to your family. I was very blessed to have known her, may she Rest In Peace.

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.
So sorry to hear the news of the loss of your mom. She was such a wonderful person. I have such fond memories of spending many weeks with her during the summers when you girls were small. Great memories and many hours have been shared your mom and grandmother, Aunt Esther, two great ladies.
I want to express my sincerest condolence for the family of Commander Ron Bishop. I served on the USS John King in the early 80s and Commander Ron Bishop was the Captain. He was an upright and just leader that had a positive influence on my life as a young sailor. I will never forget 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.
I’ll always remember Don’s great sense of humor. Working with him was a pleasure and he could bring a light moment to all of us when we needed it. My condolences to his family and to Scott. He will be missed by many of us.
I’ll always remember Uncle Ed as someone who knew a lot about almost everything. His curiosity and unlimited energy propelled him into all manner of projects and pursuits.
I’ll also remember summer trips to stay with Uncle Ed and Aunt Jo. They not only tolerated but encouraged my enthusiasm for seafood and living history with (how many?) trips to Yorktown battlefields and Colonial Williamsburg!
My high regard and loving affection go to all of you!!!
I would like to send my sincerest condolences to the family of Commander Ron Bishop. I thought of Commander Bishop many times over the last 30 years. He is a caring, just, compassionate and gracious person. It was a pleasure to serve him on USS John King. Fair winds and Following Seas, ,”Captain Crunch” (you had to be there).
Don was a client who became a great friend over the years. I have valued his insight and friendship over the years and know that he will be missed by all who knew him. Smooth sailing Don!
Joann has been a strong link in our family and we will miss her sorely. I saw a lot of my Grandparents and Great-Grandparents in Joann. Every time I saw her or listened to her voice it reminded me of a lot of good memories, in which she has helped to make. Joann and Roy have been a family treasure to us. With much Love; Rest in Peace, Aunt Joann
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.
Words can’t express how Aunt Joann effected my life and so many others in our family. She was a second Mother to all of us. She and Roy always said we were their other children!
We always looked forward to her and Roy’s visits when we younger! We knew there was going to be Candy and School supplies and lots of love. She always had time for each and everyone of us! Joann and Roy’s words of encouragement has stayed with me throughout my life.
They loved my children as if they were their own Gradchildren. They always were there for them in every milestone of their lives. They were very special to them.
God truely Blessed me with a wonderful, feisty, strong and beautiful Aunt who influenced my life in many ways! Love you Joann! Rest in Peace!
Cdr Bishop was my first CO when I reported to USS JOHN KING DDG-3. He was very approachable, fair and always had something positive to say. Fair winds . And following seas.. RIP
Joann it will never be the same going to my Sisters house next door to you. I will miss all the shoping and lunches we had together. (Don’t forget hte DUKE games). Thank for ALL the memories. Love you for that. You and Roy are together again!!!! Debbie & John miss you so much. Say hi to Mom for us…..
Gonna miss ya. See ya again one day than you can pay me for that 1952 Mercury you wrecked. Lol Rest In Peace. Say hi to my love Nell your sister. GOD BLESS AMEN
Joann was a very special person. She always was so supportive of my wife and her siblings and our children. Joann always treated me as family. Even when talking on the phone, she always told me that she loved me. Joann will be greatly missed. Love you Joann, Rest In Peace.
Cat, I’ve been in shock these last couple weeks. I missed you so much over this last year there are no words to describe it. Now to find out this happened. You are one of kind and I am blessed to have been in your life for those years. I will never forget how much we laughed and at times cried together. You truly are my best friend and I will love you until my last breath. Until we meet again.
My profound sorrow in learning of John’s passing. I enjoyed the walks we took and the humorous and always upbeat spirit he possessed. I feel privileged to have known such a person, and to have been able to call him “Uncle John”.
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.
My heartfelt condolenses Sue and family members. Uncle Phil was the last of my Dad’s siblings to pass. It is not easy losing someone however Uncle Phil had a long and esteemed life and that we can look back and celebrate. My thoughts and proayers are with you.
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.
My sympathy to my childhood best friend. Love to Chick’s family, especially Donna for your kind support during Chick’s most difficult journey. My thoughts and love to the many friends that had the great pleasure to share many years of memories with Chick and his family and our many mutual friends.Chick will always be missed and loved for his wonderful friendship that we were so lucky to have shared.He was my best friend through our childhood and the great memories will last forever!! Love and prayers to his family and friends.
Virginia Beach has lost the ultimate Beach Boy. While he worked diligently to assist his lovely wife Pam, he struggled mightily with his own health issues over the last few years. A generous and kind man, he lived a happy life and had a ton of fun along the way. I was a true pleasure knowing him. Thanks for the memories, Chic!
We are so very sorry about dear Chick. He was a southern gentleman and always a fun person. His devotion to Pam was a lovely tribute to their bond. He will missed by all who knew him. Sending our heartfelt condolences, we pray for peace for Chicks family.
Donna & Beau Killen
It wouldn’t be Christmas in the later 80s without the all night party at Chick and Pam’s! They were the power couple of 571/2 St. and always fun company. Pam’s illness was heartbreaking but Chick’s love and care… heroic!
My deepest condolences to Donna and Family.
Many stories to follow when his many friends gather in remembrance.
Sandy Martin
I was so sorry to hear about Susan. I worked with her in Alpharetta at ChoicePoinrt..
I remember the good times we had at work and also our good times away from work.
My condolences to the family. We will always have our good memories.
We enjoyed working with Carolyn for many years at Dominion and VNG. Sending heartfelt condolences and prayers of comfort to her family. Mary Jo & Mike Bailey
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.
Chick was a fellow KA at ODU. We spent many times having a cold one, playing volleyball in the KA house back yard and just enjoying life. Chick did enjoy life. He was a good man and will be missed. I remember our times together as if it was last week. His memory will never fade. “ Rest In Peace Chick” God Bless.
Tracey and Lesley, I want you to know you all are in our prayers. Mom and the rest of the family, Cherrill Ann and her family as well know what you are feeling. We lost dad ( Newton)in Dec and I know they are together walking the streets in heaven. Your mom was a beautiful soul in my eyes, always so sweet and kind when I remember being around her when I was growing up. They both of you just as beautiful. We love you both and will be thinking bout you all .
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. ❤️
I am so sorry to hear about Carolyn’s passing. I loved talking with her when we worked at VNG. She was very “SPECIAL” !!!! and always very kind to me xoxo. I will say prayers for the family and Karen & children. Please let me know when there will be a service or celebration of life for her. 757-548-2921 or if you need any help.
All My Best & Love Tina McMillian
My heart is heavy with sadness to see this obit. I have known Hugh for many years as I was his home health case manager when he lived in Ohio. We kept in touch thru the years, and it was always a joy to hear from him. I hadn’t heard from him in a while and tried to call him a couple of times. I thought something was wrong when I didn’t reach him. He was a fine man with deep faith in God so, I feel certain he is surrounded in beauty in heaven. His memory will always warm my heart and put a smile on my face. RIP dear friend.
Dear Theresa and Dunstan Family,
On behalf of First Tee — Hampton Roads, please accept our deepest condolences. I am sad we did not know Michael, but the gifts we received in memory of him will have a legacy at our chapter. Thank you for your gifts, and please let me know how we can update you with families who have given in his name.
We lift you all up in our thoughts and prayers.
Warmly,

Skipper, my Skipper, we flew together through thick and thin, sleet, heat, and an awesome A fleet..
To share your cockpit is to splendor in the joy of the sail. Your trust in us, your crew, lead us to glory after glory, whether we placed or not. You are a Skipper for the ages…and no matter where you are: Will you please get a #2 for the sake of your grinders.
Thank you Sue for sharing him with us. And a special thanks for Catherine for your kindness and devotion to Feather.
An era has pass. And Phil would want us just to carry on. To go out there and fetch the next mark. And we will, dear Skipper, we will.
Ready about, hard to lea…
As in-laws of Don’s son Jeff, we always enjoyed whenever we would meet up with Don at family gatherings. I know he will be greatly missed by his family. Our condolences.
Served with Colonel Jonas as his XO for a year in recruiting command. Even tempered, good natured he was a pleasure to work with. A good man and leader.
Chick, his nickname, was a wonderful husband to our daughter, Pam Stahlin Ford, especially during the last ten years as she suffers from early onset Alzheimer’s. He did his best for her. He is no longer suffering. He will be greatly missed.
I was so sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. He was a genuine nice guy – funny, witty and kind. As children we had many great times in San Francisco. My condolences go to the family. Cousin, Karen
Dear Connie, Kim, Troy
We were just made aware of the untimely passing of your Husband/Father, Medley. He was the “Mayor” of the Woodhaven section of Va. Beach. If anyone needed anything, Medley was the source for his knowledge, for tools, or for parts for a project. Medley will surely be missed by all that knew him.
If you need anything, Elinor and I are available for you.
Rest in Peace Medley, our neighbor and friend.
Donna
Your Dad was a wonderful person and will be missed. I offer my condolences to you and your family.
I have thought of you often over the years and hope you are doing well.
We went to Forest Hills together.

I worked with Ed during many of his generous years at the Virginia Living Museum. Ed was always a joy to be around, share stories, listen to his tales and bounce ideas back and forth. He was so much fun. I so enjoyed his easy smile and sometimes wry sense of humor. In watching him interact with children and adults I know that his presence brought many smiles to the guests who visited the Museum as well as great learning. I am lucky to have known and worked with Ed and share in the happiness of such a good man. Rock – Education Dept.
I was privileged to know Don for many years, starting in Mooreland Farms in Richmond. 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
Don was a dear friend and fellow alumnus of R-MC. His contributions to the success of the College, were without measure. He was the epitome of the accolade, Trustee Emeritus, My most sincere condolences to his family.
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 Susan,
I was so saddened to read in the USNA Shipmate of Bob’s passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am very sorry to read of Snookie’s death. I met him about 55 years ago when my Dad Robert Turner, and his Dad Ed Haith worked together at VDOT. Snookie, like his father, was very special. Rest in peace.
Chip will be so missed. He had a smile that lit up a room and a true Lion at heart. I loved being able to work with Chip on many projects. At the annual Lion’s Christmas parties, Chip would always volunteer to pass out the cookies. With a glean in his eye, he enjoyed giving out the cookies and having a couple himself!
Jim often talks about the good times at Mister D”s in Williamsburg. Hard to believe that was 45 years ago.. Those law students that he gave jobs to went on to practice law and two of them are now judges. Chip had a positive effect on many lives. He will be missed.
On behalf of the Officers & Brothers of TBI Alumni Association and Tau Beta Iota Fraternity, I should like to extend our belated condolences at the passing of Brother Carter.
Brother Jack and all TBI’s who have left us during the past year will be remembered at the Memorial Service held during our annual Founders Day Dinner in March.

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,
Ginny Stone Mackin
So saddened to hear of Beverly’s passing. Such good memories growing up as cousins. I appreciate how she took the time to visit my dad when he was in the hospital there in Hampton prior to his passing. I think that was the last time I saw her. Rest In Peace. I know you are with Dickie.
My condolences and my family’s for your loss. We will remember her as someone very cheerfully and generous towards others. Always willing to help the needy. We thank God for having met Elizabeth and shared with her in this world and are looking forward to sharing much more in heaven.
Mom you will be dearly missed. My mom was a hard working woman up to her final days and a great mom. Love you so so much!! Until we meet again 💞💞💞 Love always Tim
You will be missed my Sam I Am!! Until we meet again rest easy my friend!! My deepest love and condolences to all of your family and friends.

I never realized how much you really meant to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for always believing in me and loving me for me. See you in the funny paper. Melvin
I just learned today … June 9th, 2022 , that Don had passed away on May 11, 2022. 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
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Mary. I’ve been her hairdresser for about 20 years, and we have grown to be such good friends!!!!
I’m also sorry that I just found out. I would have loved to be able to say goodbye.
The family is in my prayers, and Mary is going to be missed so much!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Aunt Jeannie will be missed. I was thinking back to when she used to greet me with a “Callie Wally Doodle All the Day” song, when I was little. Prayers for comfort for all the family and friends. Hold onto the memories tightly.
I send my heartfelt condolences too Shawn’s friends and family. Shawn and I attended Indian River High school together although we didn’t become friends until later in life. I’d been calling him to check in and he didn’t respond, I met Shawn at Brad’s Second Generations playing Donkey Kong. We started going out almost every weekend to Brad’s to meet and dance with the ladies. I found my bride there and Shawn was my “Best Man”. We had way too many adventures to share, and I’ll miss him forever. Rest In Peace my brother, thank you for sharing your life with me. May God comfort all who grieve Shawn’s passing. I will keep everyone in my thoughts and Prayers.

Sorry to hear about our “little buddy, Mikey”. We enjoyed our visits on the front porch at the beach, and breakfasts at the greasy spoon. Mike had a good heart, and was always willing to lend a hand, and was quite handy. He’s in a good place now. God bless family and friends.
Snookie was a trip!! After I lost my best friend, Gary, I felt lost and my family’s tie to the Haith family was different.
I worked for Sissy and she was the best boss ever. James is someone that I always looked up to. Laurie the beautiful sister. Ann the little quiet sister.
Mr Haith the walker.
Snookie, my brother and I had some adventures after we lost Gary – some were a little dangerous)
Years later, as a father, watching my kids compete in martial arts at Va Wesleyan. I looked into the stands and there was Snookie. Why? Still have no idea and yet I hugged him like the brother I lost.
We are so sorry to hear about Pete’s passing. We enjoyed him so much the 2 years he lived upstairs from us. We will miss him dearly. We’re so sorry for the family.
Kathy,
Our most heartfelt condolences on your loss. We have many wonderful memories of the times we spent together in Scottsdale; Wednesday evening dinners with the Pueblo Sereno group, lunch at the “tea house”, and many other gatherings and visits. Steve was a great guy and fun to be with. We will miss him very much. We wish you the best.
Leo & Donna Violette
Please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers through these difficult times. We always enjoyed spending time with Carter. He is at peace now and we hope you will find peace as well. Love, Kenny Mac and Retha
Our family send condolences to the Tabb Family along with an expression according to the Holy Scriptures at Revelation 21:4 “and He (God) will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more: neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
May the God of all comfort grant you comfort and peace. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)
He was a person who went out of his way to make people feel welcomed and would help you if you needed anything. He was one of the friendliest people you could meet and loved to sit out in the sun and visit the beach as often as he could. Many of the animals who lived by him would always come by for the food he would leave or and would slowly inch towards him each day until they were comfortable with him. We will always remember him for these memories he has left with us.
Courtney, Kevin and Kelly and families….our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Kenny was a great guy and loved you all so much. Our best wishes to you all. Be at peace, Kenny.
I’m not really sure why I haven’t left a condolence earlier, but I guess when one speaks of eternity, it’s hard to be late.
I sure do miss our laughs together and your experience and guidance in confusing times. I hope there’s awareness there on the other side – I’m not sure I’m prepared for a total and complete lights out state when I join you all.
Either way, I love and miss you dearly. Hug Mom and Barry, Jr. for me.
Nate, you will always be considered my Second Son. We had so many good times together, you & Devon! Y’all were each other’s Best Friends since birth. We will carry on your Beautiful Spirit always . We Love you and Miss you so much! But we will see you again in Heaven. Rest easy our Angel 😇
She was such a wonderful person, as well as a blessing to me as a mentor in school. I only wish I had kept in touch with her longer. May she rest in eternal peace, but may her light continue to shine through those who knew her.
Dad, your one of the strongest people we know! We are so blessed and lucky to have met you and be apart of your beautiful family! I know heaven is a beautiful place because they have you, so until we meet again we think about you often and will laugh at the beautiful memories we hold close within our hearts.
I remember listening to him practice his English (?) horn, and playing in Byrd Park on July 4th. I have always cherished his offer of support when my dad suddenly fell ill in 1977.

So sorry to hear the news of Pats passing, he was a fantastic guy and I considered him a great friend and enjoyed talking with him at the campground. We traded stories about the old Va. Beach compared to what it is today. Rest In Peace my friend, you’ll be missed by many.
Sorry to hear of Martin’s passing. We enjoyed being part of the “First Saturday Bridge and Dinner Group at Harbor’s Edge” with Martin. He was a great bridge player.
Bill and Harriet Messner
Diana, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a very special women. She will be missed by many. Prayers and condolences to you and your family.
Beth, my heart and prayers go out to you and your daughters. Your husband fought a long hard fight and now he is at rest. Praying for your peace, strength, and comfort.
My deepest condolences. Kenny was such an important part of my life. Kenny and I worked together for many years day in and day out and I appreciated him and his knowledge more than you can imagine. A true pleasure to work with. Truly sorry to hear of his passing. Much love to his family during this difficult time.
I was sorry to hear about Martin. He was an active member of the Chesapeake Rotary Club for a lot of years and contributed generously to The Rotary Foundation. He was always polite and a pleasure to talk to.
Mr. Emmett was one of the finest mentors in my life. During a challenging period in his own story, he helped guide me in becoming a leader. He was most certainly a friend, and he taught more than a few of us how to sail.
We were so sorry to hear of Nick’s death. He was such a good man. We fondly remember our pre-cana days. Grateful for our time together. Grateful too for Seekers that gave us the opportunity to come to know your strong, independent, beautiful daughters. Our sympathies are with each of you.
Irene was the sister I never had. We started working together in 1963 and the friendship began. We spent so much time together in and away from the office, and told each other our deepest thoughts. My prayers go out to her family and I will miss her every day.
Margaret Ann and I grew up in the same neighborhood and were childhood friends.
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with John and the family. She was a wonderful person and we had lots of adventures during our youth.
Miss you mom. You always loved the boys, as evident in the photo. Hope Charlie met you as soon as you passed over. I know the rest of your furry children and your family were waiting too.
We send to Barbara and the entire Welsh family, our deepest sorrow and condolences. There are people in your life that truly have an influence by both example and exceptional, and this was simply Cecil. From family, VMI, his engineering love, his extraordinary wife, his children and grandchildren, his legacy is simple yet far-reaching, and HE loved Big Band music and knew every song…..”When that big brass hits you in the chest!”.. we are so grateful for all the memories in our heart.
Jack and I always enjoyed Ron and Marion’s visits to Manteo. We always had such a good time going to the beach, dining at Stripers and eating the huge crab legs and shrimp, and just hanging out at our home. Sending thoughts and prayers for the family.
I miss you already mom I will also miss our weekly chats on the phone so I could catch up on all the happenings back home you are gone too soon but I know you are not in pain anymore. You were the most caring and thoughtful mom a man could ask for rest in peace 🕊️
Mr Welsh was the sweetest man! A devoted husband , father , grandfather and great grandfather. He could build anything and liked to do it himself, when possible. His sense of adventure and seeing the world was there , even in his last days. He was lucky to have three supportive, loving children and grandchildren to visit, bring him his favorite foods , take him to Drs appointments , taking drives around town to see the sights and dancing at the French festival most recently. He and Mrs Welsh were like second parents to me growing up . As adults , he was always interested in catching up and sharing great stories. You are missed and I am sure Paradise must be amazing !
You are so completely missed, I love you Sherry Lynne and my life seems so much less without you by my side, I will see you soon my love please know I will love you forever
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.
Dear Franky
I’m so sorry to learn of B’s passing. What a wonderful family man and what a wonderful couple the two of you were. Condolences to you and your family.
Love,
Bill Davis

Miss Ellen was everything and more that this tribute to her reflects. How very, very, very, much she will be missed. Wherever she went and with whomever she interacted with, she left a huge bouquet of sunshine, happiness, and uplifting positivity. I will always remember her with that great and beaming smile and laugh. May a choir of angels sing her to her rest and my our Dear Lord and Savior touch her family and friends with His grace, comfort and peace. A friend.
You will live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who love you. I’m so happy you were blessed with the reunification of your family before your passing, and I know the women who’s arms you will walk into now have strength in their embrace. God bless and bring peace to the family left behind. I will keep you all in my heart and prayers
I had the pleasure of meeting Ellen at the Chamber of Commerce when she came to a meeting. Always smiling. I told her that Coach Kelso was my English teacher at James Blair. She was so pleasant and pretty. Condolences to Coach and family.
Stephen was a warrior. I think he fought the good fight so he could have as much time with his family as he could. How wonderful that he was able to meet one grandchild, and knew another was on the way!
The tender, loving, care that th
Bill and family, I am so sorry to hear of Ellen’s passing. From my time in Williamsburg, I remember a few archaeology group get togethers and seeing Ellen play her bass. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Tony was a high school classmate that always was a friendly and kind fellow. I never heard anyone say anything unflattering about him. He was someone who was interested in the person he was with and making strangers feel welcomed. I am sorry his final years were physically difficult; he was much more deserving. RIP Tony.
Sending much love to all the Cahoon family as Brian remains in our hearts & memory. Im looking forward to the time we can welcome Brian & all those we have lost, back to a paradise earth… forever! Until then, he rest free from the burdens of this system … safely in Jehovah’s memory.
Tony was hands down the most genuine man. His perseverance unmatched by anyone I’ve ever known. You will be deeply missed by all of your girls. Thank you for being a father figure in my life. Finding solace knowing that you are resting easy.
I’ll always remember Ellen’s smile and enthusiasm. My favorite memory is Ellen behind her bass and beside Bill on banjo, playing for the field school dancing the Virginia Reel. She truly will be missed.
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.
Jack and Linda, you are the best parents Brian could have had, both in your personal care of him as well as seeing that he had the best of care when it came time to entrust him to others. 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. Love to you both and to the entire family.
To the Cahoon Family, I remember meeting Brian when I first came to the Broadmoor congregation. He was just a young fellow then and Linda dressed him so nice. Those little sailor outfits were so cute. He loved greeting people and showing us his stuffed animals. 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
Dear Sam and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thought and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
Sincerely
David James and Family.
Sherry was an amazing daughter, wife, mom and grandma. Sherry was a fighter, who fought the long, hard fight. Full of love for all in her life. She is now at rest and in no pain any longer. R.I.P. sweet angel.😪🙏❤🌹❤🌹
My heart is broken for you! Please know that you all are in my prayers and thoughts. May the Lord bless you and keep you through this pain and heart ache! Let me know if you need anything!
Chad and family, I am so incredibly sorry to hear of your loss. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, but I hope you find comfort knowing that she touched many many people’s lives over the tragically short time she was here on Earth and anyone she befriended would be proud to call her a friend. Sending lots of prayers y’all’s way. Please let me know if I can do anything for you or your family.
Our deepest condolences to the family. 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.
The Evans Family,
Please know that you are in our prayers and thoughts! I am so saddened by the loss of Bill! He will always be remembered as a true leader, a top-notch submariner, and a caring mentor to literally thousands of individuals, in and out of the Navy!
I pray that the wonderful memories of Bill will provide you strength to get through these very difficult of times.
With sincere condolences and warmest regards,
Al Konetzni Jr.
Mrs. Gussman, John, Josh, Travis & Gussman Family,
Sending prayers, condolences, and love to all. Cheryl was remarkable. We had the pleasure of her humor, warmth and hospitality. She is with the angels.
Roberta and Chris and our extended family
Rest easy man, I am so sorry for the Bowen family’s loss and the rest of us who lost a friend. His struggles were real, but he tried his best to overcome them. The demons won that night, but the Lord gained an Angel, he is now safe from those demons who haunted him.
We were blessed to have Cecil a part of our Holly Bluff neighborhood. It was always great to sit on the porch with him and Barbara and share stories. What a great person he was!!! I will always treasure our Aurora borealis event here on the Shore, standing on our docks and hollering back and forth, “Wow, did you see that?!”
Our deepest sympathy to the family! You were blessed with a great husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend!
Prayers and hugs….
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. 🤍🤍🤍
Matt and i worked at Saturn. Matt always knew how to make me smile even on my darkest days. We would have long talks about life, the good and the bad. I remember going to see his band play a lot! He was a hard worker and a good friend. I am so sorry he is gone but happy he is finally set free from all the pain he was dealing with.
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
Al
Matt was such a great friend and a very hard worker. Our friendship turned more into family. He and I worked together for years. Started together at Saturn and ventured on together at Mazda. We always joked because everyone called me his work wife. Matt was such a great person. Going to be missed. RIP my friend. My condolences to the family.
I love you so much Daddy, you are my everything & more. Thank you for being the very best Dad I could ever have. The boys love you soooo much, Kayden and Kingston. I could never put into the right words to express the love I have for you. I miss you so much. Always & Forever Daddy. Until I see you again ❤️ I love you, I love you, I love you!!!
Rhonda, so sorry to hear of Lewis’s passing. He was a great neighbor and he was a very good friend and neighbor. Enjoyed the little talks and waves as neighbors. You could tell what a gentle and kind soul he was just by talking to him.Hooe you have peace in your soul and strength in your body knowing he is with the Lord. Sending prayers for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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
Matt was such a good guy gone way too soon. Willing to help anyone who needed help with anything. He was the first friend I had when I moved here. I met him a Saturn of Va Beach and we became friends almost immediately. I never met anyone who had anything bad to say about Matt .He will definitely be missed! Your fight is finally Brother Rest in pease my old friend,
Matty, Words cannot begin to express the depth of grief this news will be to so many. You were the little brother I never had. I loved you much even when you were a pain in the butt tagging along on all me and Soph’s adventures. From Bushido to swimming in the pond with the horses. (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 ❤️❤️😢😢
Lewis Lee pearman he was my brother. I will miss very much words can’t describe. I know he in a better place no more suffering and no more pain. I love u brother . Love your sister judy pearman
Matt, you were always a caring and kind person! You always brought laughter where ever you were. You will be missed by so many! My heart is heavy for Dana, Leroy, Randy, Sophie, the boys and all the family. You have touched so many lives with your smile! Now you can rest easy my friend! You will never be forgotten! Until we meet again!
Love – Steph ❤️
Phillip was a member with the Suburban Acres Civic League for many years. I missed seeing him at the meetings. To the Cary family we are sorry for your loss. May His Memory Be Eternal.

Our last picture…it still doesn’t seem real…all I can remember are the fishing trips, road trips, you with the kids….I remember every little thing papaw…I miss you terribly xo love J-HI
Primo I will never forget you. I thank God for putting you in my life. All the things you and Sonia did for me and my family. I still remember how you laugh and how positive you were on any situation. Thank you for being such a wonderful person to me and my family. GOD bless you in your journey to HIM. Adios gran Primo.
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.

Phil was always so kind to me! I enjoyed being his hairdresser for many years! I always made sure I had some milk chocolate especially for him. He was soft-spoken, kind, and very generous. Claudia I love y’all and I am praying for peace for you and everyone who knew and loved Phil. You took very good care of him until the very end! 💛
I send condolences that first your mom and now your father have finished their lives’ journeys. Celebrate them! I know they meant so much to you. When (if) you sometimes find yourself lonely or sad in these days that follow, take comfort in the closeness you shared with them and in the memories I’m sure you’ll re-live time and time again. They were so blessed to have you as their loving daughter.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss! Even though I unfortunately haven’t been in contact with my cousin Roxanne, I have very fond memories of the summer time stays where she was pretty much stuck toting me along with her. As the younger one, I loved being with the “big kids” that were old enough to drive and hang out with friends at the beach. She never complained about having to take me everywhere with her. She was always so kind to me.
At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe
That the sun will once again shine.
That’s when it seems you do nothing but grieve,
With joy left behind.
Until we meet again rest my dear friend” Honey” in the arms of the Lord with your boys
You will be forever loved and remembered .. Fly high Fly high
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.

Dearest Marion, It is with much sadness that I say good bye. You have always been my best frient and confidant. As my sister you have always looked to my well being. I miss our daily phone calls and weekly visits. I will always cherish the time we spent together. I pray you are in Heaven with or Lord Jesus Christ together with our mother and father and many other family and friends, where there is no more pain, suffering, crying, only love, joy, happiness and freedom from this earth bound existance. With highest regard, much love and affection. Your forever sister. Carolyn
Pati I’m almost a loss for words as to how much you meant to our family. You were my best friend I’d go to you and talk about anything and not be judged. You were like my sister and I was ready to help you in any way I could. We had some fun times that I can’t talk about but people that knew you would understand. I’m glad you are reunited with Bobby and Jimmy. Behave up their but have a great time! Love you and I’m so glad you’re at peace. RIP
Will see you on the other side my Nephew, my Godson! I cherish our talks about God, life and family. I only wish I could have done more to help you. You are with our savior now and reuniting with family. Sing with joy! Dance with energy! Smile with happiness. Gone is the pain and suffering of this world. I’m going to watch over your Mom and Pops. I know how much you loved them. We will all watch over the children and Kira will be ok. Keep our place in line. We will celebrate your life because we know that’s what you would want us to do. Be blessed Nephew!
I love you B! FOREVER! My soul has a crater in it. Thanks for being such a good everything for almost 30 years. You will never be forgotten or replaced Dad, I miss you beyond belief.
Always Babygirl,
Ash and Cory and Kiddos
You may only have one friend, you may have only loved one, you may have only one person in your life that you can always turn to. That is who what Pati was to me. For over 50 years we held onto each other like sisters. We never talked without saying I love you. Heartaches, laughter, whatever it was, we shared it. We lost our sons and grieved together. She’s now with her sons and mine like she wanted to be. And out of pain like she deserved to be. She was a strong SHEro. I will miss her. I love you Honey!
Our hearts go out to you all in the loss of Rob. We have such fond memories of spending time with ALL of your family at so many soccer games and parties. Sending you all much love and many prayers. The Bitterman Family
The day she dies a piece of you dies too. It is a piece that can’t be filled by anything else ever. The day she dies you stop breathing for a moment and wonder how the world around you will continue to go on. The day she dies you gain the most beautiful angel. You can’t see her but she is there just like she promised.
The day she dies remember her smile, remember her love, remember her life. Never forget her. The day she dies you become her legacy. RIP Pati 🙏

Mom,
There are so many things that made you uniquely you. The light that was your life will continue to guide us as we learn to live without you. Shine bright in heaven, and save a seat for me. Love you. Miss you.
Pati, May you rest in peace. Bob and I will miss you. I have such great memories. I will always remember you, and will be thankful, for so many years of knowing you. Love always, Maria and Bob.
Always the best memories of Roxy taking us kids to the beach in her little car,playing Radar Love by Golden Earring on her radio. ❤ Will miss her smile,but will always be in my heart!
Robert and Sharon, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the GOOD LORD wrap his arms around you at this most difficult time.Shelton, Katherine, and Hunter Alexander
Pati there are not enough words to express my sorrow. As you always held a special place in my heart for many, many years. Knowing you are no longer in pain brings some comfort, along with fond memories. Rest in peace my friend.
Betty Tucker
I had the privilege of working with Jerry at Monsanto/AES for 6 years. Jerry, Bob Wegelin, and I went for walks at lunch time whenever we were not traveling. We would often discuss our common faith in God during these walks. Jerry would often joke with me about my poor attempt to speak French! I will always remember Jerry’s kindness, his gentleness, and his loyalty to his friends and family. I hope to see you again in heaven my friend!
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
Our condolences go out to you, the family, and pray that god’s blessings of comfort, strength, peace, and joy envelope each of you, during this time of need… May your hearts be filled with the fond memories of the times that you shared…
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.
Reggie you will truly be missed. You always had a smile on your face and never had any unkind words to say about anything. May you rest in peace, until we meet again.
Thoughts and prayers for all of Joseph’s family special heartfelt for Marc and Candace for the honorable way they took care of their father for his remaining years! ❤️
Uncle George, I will always remember the special moment we shared at Aunt Kelly’s house on the piano. We both have a love for music and I’m glad we got to bond over that. Also, I will always remember how you made the best salsa around! You are loved.
Our deepest condolences to the D’Auteuil family.
May you find peace within the love of family and friends, as well as comfort from the memories you share.
To family no more pain God call me home now . Look up to sky I”m smile down . may God’s shower you today with one blessing after another . Have a great day. Will meet you at other side.
I can’t even begin to express how much you will be missed, you were one of the kindest and most giving people I have ever known and I can’t wait to see you again some day. I love and miss you and you will live on in our hearts and memories eternally.
To My Sweet Karen, You were a shining star in all our lives. Your laugh was infectious and your giant heart enveloped everyone who came to know you. You will never be forgotten. I am so honored to have known you. I love you so, so much and look forward to the day we meet again.
What a Beautiful tribute to my Uncle Jerry! I have fond memories of family get togethers in CT and especially in Maine at my Aunt Gerri’s family home in Eagle Lake and watching your Dad work the grill for our family feasts of steaks, smelts and trout! May He rest now in Peace
Love to all 💝
I am so very heartbroken to hear of Linda’s passing. I loved her, she was a dear friend and was always there for anyone who needed her. No doubt, she is with the good Lord now, laughing and feeling well! I will be keeping her dear family in my prayers and hope you will all be able to think of Linda and laugh about the good times soon.
Please accept my deepest condolences. Sincerely, Kim

I’m so sorry to hear of Sam’s passing. I was a friend of his in high school after Vic and Jean Haynes introduced us. We had some fun times that I still recall. My condolences.
My deepest condolences to her family for Ms. Moore’s passing. I didn’t know her, but her name was on some vet records and I wanted anyone who was interested to know that I just adopted her little black kitty Katie from Gloucester Humane Society, and I will love her and take very good care of her for the rest of her life. I sent up a prayer to let Ms. Angela know.
I’m so grateful to have had Rollie as my stepdad for all these years. He made my mom and me very happy with his kindness and humor and love. I miss him immensely and always will.
So very blessed to have had YOU, my Aunt Linda in my life. You opened the door of your home, your heart and your life to me and gave me my birth family. You were and still are the heart and soul of family. I will do my best to pay forward the lessons you have taught and the love that you have given to me. ‘Cause we are a family whose hearts are blazing. So let’s raise our candles and light up the sky . . . until we meet again.
I miss you Mark! I wish I knew u were at the hospital or what happened. Can someone please get ahold of me. juggalochi9116@gmail.com. I love you & miss you
Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. You and Roland were side-by-side for many years. He will be missed in your community of friends. May he rest in peace. May you know that he is with you always. Blessings, Cheryl
I feel really blessed to have known Roland. He was funny, generous, insightful and a truly good human being. He was interested in the world and made fun of it as well. I will love and miss him.
I remember Marion as a kind and loving lady. She was always warm and friendly and greeted and spoke with everyone. She had a great sense of humor….AND….oh what a cook.

So sorry for your loss. I will miss my brother in law alway. I remember the first time I met
Jerry at the 141st house in Portland, Oregon. He was in the military and was for many years. He made my sister Rosie very happy for all the years they were married ..
Rest In Peace Jerry. 😍❤️🙏😘
I am very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. Steve was a nice guy and a good storyteller.
He will be greatly missed by his friends and family. Rest in peace, my friend!
It’s hard to imagine losing such a great friend and when it happens it’s surreal. As time goes by we start to heal knowing we will meet again. God Bless!
I was definitely blessed to have met and known Rob, although for a short period of time! I met Rob shortly after he moved into my neighborhood last October while walking my dog, Duke. We would stop and talk with him 3 or 4 times a week if we saw him outside and he always welcomed us with “Hey Duke”!
Rob was always happy and loved life even with all of his health issues and we will miss him.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends!
Mark was like a brother to me. I have such amazing memories from growing up with him. I will miss his gentle Spirit. He loved the Lord & Heaven is alot brighter with him now there. Praise God , he is no longer in pain & suffering.
Randy you were my best friend and big brother 💙 You always encouraged me and stood by me. I love you and you will be missed. Love Drema, Daymion, Darryn, and Deondray
Randy will truly be miss. He always had a smile on his face. We made some great memories in high school and growing up between Cheyenne Drive and The Colony. Rest well classmate….❤😥🙏🏽
I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you are all feeling. May your hearts find peace, and may your memories comfort you always. No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. R.I.P. Steve
I have known Randy all of his life and the things I remember the most are his zest for living, his love of family and friends, his great love of his favorite sports, but most of all his infectious SMILE! He could light a room with that smile. Gone but ever forgotten.
No words can express how heartbroken I am for all of you. May you have comfort that Steve is not suffering any more. Sending all of my love and prayers to all of you. Rest In Peace Steven. Love, Aunt Gloria
Claudia you were so devoted to Phil caring for his every need, what a loving wife you have been. He surely will be missed by us all. As I walk my Sparky everyday I am reminded of Phil doing the very same thing, how he loved his dogs too. He is with Jesus now and in no more loss of anything, looking down and smiling on you. I pray your comfort and loving heart to know how much our Lord loves you both.
Peter and Susan
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.
Our family appreciates all the love and prayers .Our hearts are shattered .With God’s love and our faith we will honor our sobs. Rob and Shawn ..May God love you like we did .You are with the greater one now …
I am so sorry! Tom and Diane are exceptional people and I hope the memories will serve as somewhat of comfort. My heart also goes to his son, I’m truly sorry for your loss.
I knew Kim from FC and later met Jeanne before she married Steve such a small world. I am incredibly sad for Jeanne, Jacob, Kim, Diana and Thomas and Families. Our deepest Sympathy.
I am so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. We grew up on the same street, Dogwood Trail, in Portsmouth, VA. He was a very nice person, kind and fun. Friends of my whole family. Blessings on those he leaves behind.
You are a great husband and a wonderful father . you always made me smile, with some of the crazy things you’ve said ……me and Jacob want to know who’s going to cook for us now well at least the things you did cook for us because they were wonderful you are missed so much but you are definitely an angel that got your wings if I have anything to say about it and you gave the best hugs that anybody could ever ask for I’m glad for that because if I was upset one day I remember you always coming up and just giving me a hug and squeezing me and then it just felt like all the worries of the day melted away my heart misses you so much it breaks every day the more and more I think about you When I close my eyes you’re always there even sometimes when they were open you were there and the people that were your friends I am very sure that they were happy to call you their friend at the end of the day because if they needed you you would be there my condolences go out to your mother and your father and to your sister and to our son and to all of your friends you are missed so much and I just have to smile and keep thinking that in a few days you’ll be home because that’s the only way I’ve been able to get through this when there’s a lot of things I’m going to miss about you and I know hugging is one of the top five and some of them are going to be no comment LOL but we did have a lot of fun together and I’m just going to keep the memories alive until we meet again my love 143-143!!
AND REMEMBER HES JUST AWAY NOT GONE 143!!!
Sending love and prayers to my brother, sister-in-law, niece and all their family. May God’s love and the loving memories of Steve give you peace and strength during this difficult time. My love to all, Pat
Hey Daddy did you enjoy your welcome party and to heaven I’m sure there were so many people there that love you that were there to greet you and help two show you around I feel you here with me in River though miss you I love your daughter Holly
Hilda was a neighbor on the court where my parents lived. I remember that she always had a positive outlook on life with many stories to tell. My favorite memory was the Friday afternoon when she came over to my parent’s house along with other neighbors and adult children to share some wine, snacks, and stories on the deck. My sincere condolences to her family at this time of loss.
My dad wasn’t around when I was growing up, I remember on the weekends, when Tiffany (my sister) would go over her dad’s (Andy) that sometimes he would let me come over too, and he never treated me any different, he bought us Christmas gifts growing up, and was always around, Andy was a good guy, he wasn’t obligated to do anything for me, but he did, and that says ALOT! I love you Erika and Tiffany, just know he’s watching over you guys from above!
Well grumpy stubborn old man
,thank you for always being there for our kids , they are so broken hearted as they lost their daddy , the constant in their lives
I could always depend on you when it came to the girls and for that I will always be grateful that you loved them dearly. Now I need for you to be their guardian Angel along with the grands and greatgrands
RIP Andrew
There are not enough words to express our deep sorrow for your loss. 💔💔💔💔💔 We are praying for your strength and our continued love is pouring out to you all.
She was such a funny girl. We enjoyed the time we had with her and will miss her terribly.
We love you all and will continue to keep Tori in our hearts and memories ♥️
Mrs. Rooney was my friend Sharon’s mother. I never had the opportunity to meet her. But, if Sharon is any indication then, I’m certain she was a wonderful person. Rest with the angels, Mrs. Rooney.
We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved son Rob. No words can ever fully express the hurt in our hearts for your family. We didn’t spend a lot of time with him. However, we knew he loved his family, and adored his little dog. He was an EXCEPTIONALLY talented gardener. We saw many of the vegetables he grew. He would only allow one brand of dirt in his gardens. His mom stopped by our house once and her van was filled with it. The effort was worth it. Many delicious meals were shared.
We are so sorry for your loss!! Mary was such a special, sweet and angelic person. Please know our prayers will be with all of your family!! And we are her if you need anything!! We love you!
Richard was a good friend, a strong shoulder and always had sound advice. He was kind to me and everyone else who crossed his path. He was a Man’s Man when it came to Hunting, and Fishing. He was a talented taxidermist and an expert golf cart driver 😃. He was a gentleman and always had my back. I have mad love for this man. Godspeed Richard. Save me a barstool.
My sincere condolences to the whole family. I will sorely miss Hilda as she has been my foster mom for over 50 years. I wish I could be there. Please know my thoughts are with you all.
Diana, I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Take comfort in your memories and know that you will see him again.
Tom and Dianne, I am sad to hear about Steve and the pain you are going through. It’s been a while since Quantico but I remember him as the sweet little blond boy that loved to be with his daddy. My prayers go out to you, as well as to his wife and son. I am so so sorry.
My sincere sympathy for your loss of the sweetest, kindhearted, most amazing and faithful lady I’ve known. She will be missed by many and I pray God is with you during this difficult time.
Dr. White treated my two sisters, myself, my daughter, and my son at CHKD over the past 30+ years. He was honest, forthcoming, and always treated our family like we were his family. Many times he would just listen to my Mom vent when no one else in the medical community would. He was just an amazing human and we are all sad to hear of his passing. Much love from the Moore-Maag family <3
Susan and family,
Jan and I are very sad to hear of Hank’s passing. Please take some comfort in knowing that he is resting at peace with our Lord. And we pray for you all that God will give you strength at this time.
While in the process of dedicating one of my books to Dr. Canestrari, I discovered that the great man had passed away in 2020. Dr. Canestrari was the consummate clinical psychologist on the Peninsula for forty years and a powerful force in the field of mental health. In school systems throughout the state and as founder of Colonial Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Dr. Canestrari helped more children in Virginia than any man of his generation.
Yesterday we celebrated your life Rob. I think you would be proud of the way your Mom and Dad choose to eulogize you. It was perfectly done! So many of your friends came to celebrate your life. RIP sweet boy.
Sharon and Robert, we are heart broken for you. We know Rob is no longer in pain, but your hearts are. We love you both and pray for you. 🙏💔 Nancy & Doug
It breaks my heart that you have left us at such a early chapter of life and you will always be remembered in so many ways… God lifted you higher as you already knew one day he would.. Free from pain and the struggle behind it all.. I know you’re up there with the best and I truly believe the spirit walks and Angel’s fly high and low.. Rest in Peace cousin Rob! Give all our loved one’s a hug and kiss from me too.. One day we will meet again… As you will always hold a special place in my heart… My Deepest Condolences to your parents and daughter along our many families who feel this saddest loss.. My continued prayers and love sent to them… Fly High Honey…
Sending prayers, hugs and love to everyone. Steve was such a wonderful person. My dear brother n law you are missed and loved till eternity. May peace and love guide you wherever you are.
Mr. Sake was the single biggest influence on me in high-school. He gave me a sense of purpose and accomplishment. He provided me a direction when I needed it most. I will miss him dearly.
My deepest and sincere condolences.

While I only had Mr Sale for the one year I attended NCS as a senior, he had a huge impact on me and my confidence. He pushed me both through participating in two plays and taking his humanities class to strive for things I thought were beyond my ability. I remember him as a thoughtful, challenging, and demanding teacher, and I looked forward to both classes and talking with him less formally. He will be missed.
Stan it was a honor working with you and I’m so thankful for you trusting me and taking care of you doing your last day’s. I remember you told me you were tired now you can sleep peacefully Stan the Man. Until we meet again.
We never really got to know him well, but my wife and I always looked forward to our passing conversations whenever we walked the dog or headed out on the town. After a long day, it was nice to come home and see his smiling face on his porch. A friendlier man you’d be hard-pressed to find. He will definitely be missed.
This visit with our moms was so very sweet. They loved each other dearly…BFFs forever…
We are so thankful to have had your family in our lives.
They are dancing with angels now…no more pain…
Hugs and Blessings to you and your family…
There are no words for how much I miss you. I will remember all our times together with great appreciation for the gift of loving you and being loved by you. Rest In Peace my sweet friend
Until we meet again ♥️
Even though I am no longer legally your daughter in law you even introduced me as such and I enjoyed our times together. You will always be my “pop” and you will be truly missed. Rest In Peace pop until we meet again
I had the privilege to have known Joyce for many years and work along side her at Davis Middle School when she served as the library clerk. You could always count on her to have quality work with much attention to detail as she prepared books for the students to check out. She was dependable and always willing to help in any way. She had such a love for her family, watching Rachel and Brandon grow into adulthood and then as they became parents themselves. What a blessing it was when Rachel moved close to home, so Joyce could be with her grandchildren. You can see the joy on her face when she was with her family. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that God will bring you comfort.
David & I didn’t have the pleasure & honor of meeting Joyce, but know her son, Brandon & his daughter Adaline. Brandon is marrying our granddaughter, Abby this coming March. We would have loved to meet her then. We are sending our most sincere condolences to the Nodurft family in their time of grief. May the good Lord watch over all of you knowing that Joyce is no longer in any pain and is in His loving arms.

God Watch over Those who are Left Behind!
George will be dearly missed. I have fond childhood memories of playing with George in Iowa. He was always a good sport and endured my silly, make-believe games. George was very friendly and could start a conversation with anyone. His caring and selfless approach towards others will be missed.
Our deepest sympathies to those closest to him whom he left behind.
Thank you, Wayne, for adding to the richness of my life. We had good conversations and many good laughs. I will miss you my friend, especially on football Sundays.
My brother, such a loving caring man, such a good family man. I remember him dancing out of his shoes at my wedding. As kids we spent our summers at Conneaut. Ohio on the beach. His loss of wife, Betsy and son, Todd took a tole on His life. Our hearts go out to Laura and family. Wayne, yo
u will always be in my heart.
George was one of the kindest and most sincere members of our family. I will miss seeing his smile. Sending prayers of peace and comfort to Brian, Mary, and Frank during this sad time.
George was a very kind and enjoyed being with friends and family. We will miss him. He always made me laugh and had some good times with him. Rest in peace!
George was a wonderful nephew. He was deeply loved by everyone. He was kind and compassionate. He was deeply loved by everyone whose life he touched. He will be sadly missed. There will always be a special place in my heart for him. One day we will be together again. Aunt Diane.
I am so thankful that George was a big part of my life for many years while I was in Iowa. He was the sibling I never had. He brought much laughter and fun to my parents and me. We will always cherish those memories of him.
For example, one of the last conversations I had with him, was about how he and Dad went to Dyersville, Iowa, part of the car armada at the end of the movie Field of Dreams when they filmed it here in Iowa many years ago. He still remembered how much fun they had that day.
George was amazing with the horses and everything to do with the outdoors. He always put in whatever effort was needed to succeed with the horses.
I have been missing him for many years. He will always be a part of us. It was such a blessing to have him those years here in Iowa. We will always cherish that time we had with him.
I have known Fred for such a short time. His incredible life inspires. My conversations with him and Fay will always remain as fond memories of a warm hearted man who touched so many lives, including mine. Sunrise at the boardwalk will always be even more beautiful when I think of Fred and Fay stopping to talk. May God bless Fred and Fay and their loved ones.
I knew Joyce and worked with her at Davis Middle School. She loved her family and enjoyed sharing pictures of her children with us. She was a dependable worker and we discovered we had a love of gardening. Always enjoyed chatting with her and sharing pictures of our kids as they were growing up. Prayers and my deepest sympathies to her family.
Aunt Laura, Uncle Boomer, Allie, and Cal,
I am sending love and comfort to you. Wayne was such a kind man whose faith was a pillar of his identity, and I trust that he’s found peace with his Lord. While you mourn his loss, I am sure he is rejoicing at his reunion with family in Paradise, looking down on you all with love and blessings. I hope that memories bring you more smiles than tears as you adjust to his physical absence, though he’ll be with you always. Love you, Gin
Jason, I still cannot believe you are gone. The family holidays are not going to be the same without you. I know your smiling up in heaven reunited with your mom and dad, but you are going to be so missed down here on earth. I know we will see each other again in the eternal heavens. ❤️ You so much!
I will always hold the memory of the day we went wedding dress shopping with my daughter, Abby, close to my heart . We both got to witness her fall in love with the dress that she will marry Joyce’s son in. It was a special day and I am honored that we got to share in that moment together.
Joyce will surely be missed by us all.
Love
Cherilyn, Kristian, Rebecca and Kristian
Eric was a good person, he was kind hearted and very giving. God bless him and may he rest in peace. He told me that I still had a chance to make things right in my life and to do what I needed as a father for my children. I’ll never forget your advice thank you Eric, I love you brother
I am sorry to hear of Wayne passing. Wayne had so much passion and cared about everyone he touched with his heart. He will greatly be missed by so many. Sending prayers, hugs and much love to you Laura and the family! RIP Wayne and fly with the angels.
Dan and I met when we were stationed at the Naval Propulsion School at Great Lakes where we started a fire under the Schools IT Department when we pointed out that the system su..ed. We were sent to the “Hot Plant” as punishment which was just where we wanted to go. We were tasked with straightening out the students who had just spent 8 weeks in Self Paced Instruction with no inter-action with the staff other than to say you did not get it correct and go back and try it again. Dan and I taught then what they should know and if I might say we did a Great Job of It. Some of the students followed me to my next duty station and were readily brought in line with what a real ship was. Dan and I were friends until his passing. I expect to see him when I report to my final command. Calm Seas and a Following Sea shipmate.
I knew Mr. Sale when he was a teacher at Frederick Military Academy. Teachers lived on campus in those days. He always had a black Persian cat and the coolest home decor. He was a demanding teacher as anyone who had him will tell you. The academic community is lessened by his passage. God speed.
My family and I are very sorry for your loss. We have lots of wonderful memories of George. One time I went over to Mary and Frank’s and George had a fresh baked apple pie coming out of the oven, it was so delicious. Those are the kinds of thoughtful things he would do. He was so kind, and had a heart of gold. His bright smile and contagious laugh will be sorely missed. Our hearts are very heavy, we love you George.

To the Cassells family, first of all we would like to give our condolences to the entire family. We know you will miss Eugene very much. Second, there are many memories of Eugene that my wife said he and his family has a lasting impression on all who spent time with them that will be cherish. We all look forward to the day when the pain of death will turn to the joy of seeing our love ones again. Also Jehovah longs for the time he will call all from the grave to live again. (Job 14: 14, 15)
Brother Cassells was a very humble and caring person. It was always nice to see him because he always had a positive attitude and a bright smile. Looking forward to the day when Jehovah will resurrection him and millions more (Acts 24:15) . He was a good example for us all. He will be missed. My sympathy and prayers to the family . Much Christian love.

Love ya Willow.
I remember when Uncle Brian met George and brought him over to Ann’s house so we could meet him. He was such a cool down to earth guy and was so easy to talk to. He fit right in and we always had so much fun. I loved when he laughed as he did often. He lived life to the fullest each day and we’ll always hold him in our hearts. I’m
so glad he and Uncle Brian had over 20 years of happiness!!❤️
When I moved into our house Nita was there to greet us. My memory of the summer days when it would rain hard and water would filled the streets my children made pictures and wrote notes, then made them into little boats sending them down the road to her. She run out the to the road to get her notes smiling and throwing kisses. She was at the bus stop each morning and when the buses returned sitting on the porch watching the children come home. She loved to pick flowers with the children to take home to their Mom’s. We spent many hours in the kitchen cooking together. She loved making treats for those that lived close. She was the best friend you could ask for,her door was always open and she had a cup of coffee ready. My condolences to her family, she loved you so. And was so very proud of you. I will remember her with each flower I plant and each butterfly. Rest well my friend, till we meet again.
RW made an impression on all that crossed paths with him. His presence was known and his words heart-felt. His legacy both hunting and fishing will live on in those he touched. He always had time to share a story or listen to yours. Rest in peace knowing you made a difference in people’s lives Richard. I’m sorry for your family’s and friend’s loss.
Our condolences and love to the large Grant family from the Brightbill’s. Carla (Ms. Grant) was truly a great woman who raised great children and will dearly be missed.
I loved fishing with Richard. He always talked about our trips striper fishing on my father’s boat. Fair winds and following seas, Richard. We will miss you.
I will always remember the kindness Ms. Grant showed me as a young boy, and that extended into my adult life to include my wife Lene’. Wonderful, beautiful lady! Love you Carla!

Dear Cassells Family,
Brother Cassells will be greatly missed. We enjoyed the talks he gave at the Kingdom Hall and seeing his smile when attending assemblies and conventions with his lovely wife and loving family. May you find comfort in the sure hope of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29)

I met Richard about 40 years ago through a mutual friend while working at the Va Saltwater Fishing Tournament. You will always be remembered for your big smile, big personality and a big flirt. Condolences to his family. GOD bless and GOD speed.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May the support of family and friends be a source of comfort to you during this difficult time. May Jehovah give you a calm heart and a measure of peace in the days ahead. It won’t be long and Brother Cassells will hear the call. John 5:28,29

Carolyn Owens Moore
Rest in peace Chuck. It’s been great knowing you in this life, see in the next. May you rest in peace and may God give your family and friends peace and comfort as well.
It has been 47 years since I last saw him, but I recognized his smile right away. We were high school buddies in 10th grade, then after high school he hitchhiked with me from Virginia Beach to Texas, just to keep me company. It is good to know that he was surrounded by good folks.
II am so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories of your mom and your family from the vacations in North Carolina. I am glad we were able to visit with her a few times the last couple years.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Mark from my job where he received his treatments. We enjoyed talking about music and concerts we had been to. His passion for music was as big as his heart !!
I am so sorry to hear about Gary’s passing. I’m his first cousin from his Mothers side. The last I seen him was when Uncle Bill passed in 2002. My sisters and I have been searching for him and John for several years now. I just discovered this. My deepest condolence to all the family. I truly have and will always treasure my memories of him. Just wish I had found him before this. Much love to all the rest of the family. Please if you see this tell John John we are still searching for him. Love cousin Linda

Thank you all for your kind and heartfelt condolences. Wilton spoke fondly of all of you. I take great comfort in knowing he was loved and is resting in peace.
Connie Sale, Wilton’s wife of 43 years.
My sympathy to the family. Growing up I always thought of Mr. Clayton as one of the coolest and kindest dads around. He was always smiling and always made me feel at home when I was at the house. He was a great, great man. I know he will be missed.
I am very sorry about my nephew John’s passing. Sending love and condolences to his children, brother Lee, and all the extended family. Love Aunt Marilyn
Terry became a mentor to my husband, Terry Griffin, while working with The Prudential. They quickly became friends to include Nancy and myself. We will always be grateful for their kindness and friendship. We will always remember our time with them in Salvo and how much the pair of them enjoyed our young children. What a legacy Terry has left to have touched many lives in a positive and encouraging way. May The Lord shine His light upon you all. Rest in peace Terry.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Bill, and with your entire family as you navigate through the days ahead without Eileen. She was such a sweet, wonderful lady who loved the Lord and showed her love for Him through her actions. She has been such a vital part of the VBCC family for such a long time and she will be missed by all of us. May the Lord strengthen you, surround you with His liquid arms of love and comfort, and fill you with His peace.
In His love,
Johnny and Sharon Pollard
James was my buddy since the late 70’s. I have tried for years to contact him and family. I am so sad to hear this. James my spiritual brother you are in my heart forever and I love you.
I knew Jon in the mid 1980s while I attended ODU. Jon and I would play basketball together either at ODU or at any local outdoor court that had a few other players. We kept in touch on occasion after I moved to the Harrisburg area of Pennsylvania.
I am sad to learn of Jon’s passing and offer condolences to his family.
It is with great sadness that I learn now of the passing of Florence Pool last year. We met in Paris in 1976 and had a lifelong friendship. A truly wonderful woman with amazing children. With love, Terri Craib
James and Becky, my sympathy goes out to you and your family in the loss of your beautiful momma. I’m so happy to have met her. She was a beautiful woman with a huge heart of gold. Fly high with the angels, Joyce.
Paula and David, I’m so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. Please know I’m praying for all of you as you walk these next few weeks. May Hod wrap His loving arms around all of you.
I did not know Mr. Brown, but that Mr. Lewis was his friend, speaks volumes about his goodness and upright character. He will have his funeral at Emmanuel Episcopal Church which also speaks to his character and love. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in the love he leaves them. Robbie Murtha
To Lee and family,
So sorry to see that your mother passed…but no doubt she
is “having” the time of her life now.
Great lady, and always had great respect for her.
Prayers for you friend.
Gary Buckley
Rich, Daniel and the whole family, we are all so sad to hear this news, and Kate will be missed by everyone that loves her. Your feeling of loss is so profound and we grieve with you as you begin this most difficult journey. Have faith as Kate did. Mary Ann Rayment
We met Nancy and E.T. at Wellspring United Methodist Church, and enjoyed being with them in Sunday School; going to lunch after church; and visiting their home on many occasions. Frequently, after lunch, we enjoyed Nancy playing the piano, and we sang together. Our conversations during these times included Nancy and E.T. ‘s family history and always a detailed update on their children and their families. This was not a short update! She was extremely proud of all of them and their accomplishments. We loved them dearly.
The attached picture, taken during our Thanksgiving visit of 2021 is one of our favorites. I always tried to get Nancy to laugh, through my silliness, at which time she would say: “Oooh Jay!” Finally, over the years, we always ended our conversations on the phone with: “Nancy, you and E.T. give each other a hug for us. We love you, blessings.” We believe they are doing that now.
He was always educational while keeping it entertaining and light. I and many others in that school owe him a debt of gratitude teaching us that we weren’t lost causes and helping us graduate so we had a chance to move on to further education and careers.
My condolences to the family
RIP Mr. Craig thanks for making a difference!
So sorry for your loss. God brought Dan back from the brink of death more than once displaying his healing power. I was glad to be witness of God’s love in your life. My prayers will be with you Teri and your boys. My heart breaks for your sorrow.
To the family of Kate,
I spent many years volunteering at Drive Safe Hampton Roads with her. I loved the stories she would share with me about her grandchildren. She gave so much of her time helping others. Drive Safe will not be the same. She will be missed.
Please accept my sincerest condolences on this very sad loss. Kate was a good and loyal employee here at AAA for over 30 years and will be missed tremendously by all here. Her work in the community to promote safety for our youngest to our oldest citizens has undoubtedly saved countless lives. Kate was a sweet soul. To Rich, Daniel, and the extended family, please know that we will keep you close in our hearts in the coming days as you mourn the loss of one so very dear.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Kate. I worked with her for 17 years in Tidewater and she was well-respected and liked by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I had the privilege of working with Kate in the Public Affairs department at AAA. She was always a joy to talk to and work alongside. The department and the company offer our condolences during this time of grief.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I had the pleasure of working with Kate for 20+ years, she was always very friendly and polite, we shared many stories. She will be missed
So many thoughts tumble through my mind when I think of Kate. she was our loyal choir director at Calvin Presbyterian for over 15 years. Even though she was not “technically” a member of Calvin Pres, she was a member in the most important way, as a sister in Christ, and lover of our Lord and Savior. Her choices of music for her small, volunteer, non-paid, non-professional choir were thoughtfully and carefully chosen to suit our voices – she made us sound GREAT! I can picture her now singing in worship and praise. Oh Kate you are so missed.
To the Wilson Family,
My heartfelt condolences as you journey through this time of loss. Kate had a gentle and easy spirit about her and was eager to converse with anyone she met. Her presence will be missed. May you find comfort in knowing that she was well regarded in the Public Affairs Community and at AAA Tidewater.
I’m saddened to learn that Barbara has left us! We shared a love of music and spent many years together in choir at St. Nicholas. Barbara’s laugh was delightful and her voice was gorgeous. My condolences to her family as well as to her dear friend John. You will be in my prayers as you move through this loss.
Rest In Peace Barbara and enjoy the heavenly choirs!
I, along with many others owe this man my life. I was in the first class of “At Risk Students” that he took on. We tested and pushed him like no other. No matter how rude and disrespectful we were, no matter how far we pushed him, he never gave up on us. He taught us to respect him, others, and most of all ourselves. He was a guardian angel to most of us. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.
What a dear & faithful brother. As I read through this obituary I felt I got to know our dear brother Vincent. We would like to send condolences to all the family & friends who knew him well & loved him. May you find comfort in your hope of seeing your dear loved one again very soon. It is wonderful to think that Jehovah, the God of all comfort, longs to resurrect His friend as much as you long to see him again. All Our Love to you as you endure this difficult time.
I miss you so much Ernie. I was so blessed and thankful to have you in my life for 30 years! Until i see you again rest in peace my love. Your wife, Bonnie
Dear Family, Although we don’t often see each other you are all still in our hearts. We wish to express our sincere condolences to the family. Aunt Barbara deeply influenced me in my life. Living with her, Tommy and Timmy was a special time for me. Rest in peace Barbara. Love Debbie and Roger Quist.
Laurie was my riding instructor when I was a kid at Hillcrest. I’m a trainer and farm owner in Georgia now, and I learned of her passing from another trainer at a show yesterday. My deepest condolences, the world has lost a force of Nature, her personality and passion are unforgettable and made so many lasting impressions.
My deepest condolences to Rich, Daniel and the rest of your family. I had the pleasure of working with Kate for 7 years at AAA. She was an amazing advocate for traffic safety and made a huge impact in the lives of those she touched. Whether she was helping an expectant mother install a child seat, teaching mature drivers how to stay safer on the roadways or helping elementary children be safer pedestrians, she approached each interaction with enthusiasm and a smile. She will be missed.
Chico and I miss you so much Barbara. We shared 21 years together ❤️. Barbara loved her fur babies and loved her family especially Camden. She liked to travel even go fishing with me. You are now at peace. Love you Armando
November 5th will be the celebration of life for Stephen and Sajo Farms car show! More info please contact our family. Thank you to those who left their condolences♥️
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kate for 15 years since I started with VA GrandDriver and CarFit. She has shown me great kindness and mentorship during all the events we attended together. Always willing to lend a hand. She will be missed.
Don and I are sad to hear Bobby passed away 3 months after we celebrated our 60 year high school reunion from Hillsville High School. Bobby seemed to enjoy the reunion, camera around his neck taking pictures. God bless and comfort his family.
I was just searching for Ed’s current address to send him a birthday card and discovered that he was passed away on July 6. I have so many fond memories of Ed. I am sad that he has left us.
I only learned today of Kate’s passing. She was a great help to me at AAA Tidewater and I will miss her dearly. I will also miss talking to her about her love for the church choir.
I worked with Catherine over the years through AAA with their car seat program. She was dedicated to helping others and will be missed. My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and co workers. RIP.
You’re so very missed Trudie. I still remember the first time we met in Japan and was introduced to the beautiful Olivia…You’re a beautiful soul and are deeply missed.
Rest well. You were an awesome person. You had silly jokes. I will always remember you. You were one of my #1 patient’s. You grew to become my family. My condolences to the family. Rest well in love and peace.
So sorry for your loss. I also went to Maury and was friends with Jimmy. I remember Harry when he was working at the corner “store” and he was always pleasant and kind to me. His was a life well lived and we are all the better for having known him. Blessings for your family Harry.
Gary and I are so saddened by the loss of Harry. He has been a part of our family for a very long time. We share many many memories. He will be forever in our hearts and be missed dearly
My prayers are holding you all close to my heart. May your memories give you comfort in the coming days. Words can not express our heartfelt sympathy. Your Mom was so lucky to have such caring and loving children.Your Mom was an amazing lady and loving sister. She will be greatly missed. RIP Sissy fly high!
Rest In Peace, Betty. I was drawn to you from the moment I met you. You had a feisty nature and a zest for fun. You always welcomed me as family. Always. Keep the rest of those Angels in line up there, as you continue to watch over all of your baby girls down here.
Nana ALWAYS took care of us and we will miss her dearly. Our visits will never be the same. Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in love Nana Betty. ❤️
Nana Betty is the most thoughtful, loving and caring Nana anyone could ever meet. She took care of everyone she knew, she loved without waiver and she spoke from her heart. We were so blessed to have her in our lives and we already miss her dearly.
Rest in love and peace Nana…until we meet again.
Love, your “R” Petitt kids
Nana Betty is the most thoughtful, loving and caring Nana anyone could ever meet. She took care of everyone she knew, she loved without waiver and she spoke from her heart. We were so blessed to have her in our lives and we already miss her dearly.
I’m going to miss Nana. I have been thinking of the times we shared. Hanging out with with her and Theresa shopping at the Thrift stores, Thanksgiving dinners, at the campsite, and sitting with Nana just talking. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Nana ❤️ Her spirit will live on in Theresa, Julie, Jaclyn, Jesse, and the grandchildren. Thank you God for allowing Nana to be part of my life. 😇🙏🏽
Dad, I’m so thankful God chose you to be my father. I have many wonderful memories of you taking Joey and me to south street seaport and eating clams as kids, going to Manhattan beach and having a great time with our large family, all the holiday gatherings and your YUCA pasteles! I so appreciate the time you took off to see me in my school programs, cadet corp parades/drill team and band competitions. I remember you making us homemade pizza and cherry cheesecake! You woke us up as if we were “marines!” Your trademark was listening to music and watching T.V. at the same time! There was never a quiet moment at the house. LOL
I recognize your good heart in always wanting the best for your family, and for always helping others in need. You challenged us and loved us fiercely. We always play music at the house, including Christmas songs all times of the year! I will always hold a special place for you in my heart. I will miss you very much. Love you forever! Your Vicky-boo
Tio you will be missed tremendously I will hold memories of you with dad at the house or grandpas house the family all together. Your now with dad, grandpa and grandma. I would always tell you when we meet your my favorite Marine and you always will be.
My Grandfather was a fun and caring person I am remember the good times with him when I was growing up he took my to museums, watched movies together. I enjoyed his company.
My second Dad Pepe- I will also remember when Vicky introduced me to her dad. He said to me “Hi I’m Pepe and I’m a Marine! I was intimidated a little bit, but I know that in time we would get to know each other. What a blessing it has been to have you in my life. It has been really hard for me these past few days, but I know that you are in heaven celebrating with your mom, Dad, Uncle Vic, TiTi Luz, and My Mother and father. I can see you all playing dominos. I will miss all the stories of Chemical Bank and your Marine story. I always enjoyed your company, taking the trip to the Naval Academy to see Joey and watch Army and Navy Football. I loved that you would play Christmas music in the summer and listen to your 50s music at all times. You were a Happy, Loving, Father to us all. I have been blessed to be part of this family for 40 years of my Life. I learned from you that family is always first. You had a good heart always willing to help the family. Thank you for being a great Grandfather to David, Diana, and Sophia. I will miss you tremendously, thank you for accepting me as your second son! I love you forever! Semper Fi Marine Melendez!
Please accept my sincere condolences and know he touched a lot of people during his life and made a difference in there’s. He will never be forgotten as he was a wonderful human being and a great friend. May he rest in peace!
Frank, I cannot imagine life without you. You have been the best dad to me. After my first husband passed, you told me I had to go on; and I know I must in your absence as well. Thanks for all you have done. I’ll never loose the gratitude I have felt all these years – for you coming into my mother’s life and making her girls your own. Claire and Charlotte will never forget you either; because your love for them was way to powerful. Thank you for sailing through all of life’s challenges with us and for all the wonderful memories. I love you so very much. Your family loves you so very much.❤️
I remember “E” being full of humor and loving life. He loved interacting with his fellow classmates and the teachers always looked out for Eric because they loved his sense of humor. He loved baseball and spent quite a bit of time on the baseball field joking with players and coaches. I lost touch with Eric some years back and always what life held for him. Sorry I didn’t have a chance to say, “Good-by.”
Rest In Peace, Coach Baggett
Chicky and family please accept my sincere condolences. He will never be forgotten as he was a wonderful human being and a great friend. It’s been 12 years since we partied together at our reunion in Brooklyn, Prayers being said for you and the family. May God be with you. Pepe Rest In Peace!

We love you so much Jim and Sandy. Jim will always hold a special place in my heart. He never missed the girls birthday parties and when i was pregnant with all 3 of my girls he made sure to make them each something to have when they were born. I will cherish every memory i have with him. And y’all will always be apart of our family. I love you ❤️
Frank and I were the first Mandt System trainers at the Norfolk Community Services Board. This was a system of techniques for employees to use when dealing with clients who were in crisis mode, and was offered periodically to Board staff. I recall him as a joy to work with, level headed, humorous and having a wealth of experience to draw on. My sincere condolences to his family at this sad time.
Working with Jim for 21 years, He definitely became family. Jim was a great friend and I believe that we worked well together. He was always someone you could rely on.
Losing a member of your work family is sometimes as hard as losing and actual family member. This is certainly the case here. He will be missed!
My Grandfather was a great man. So many memories will be cherished, by photos and stories. As the 1st of his grand-kids and the oldest grand kid, I can recall some very vivid and unforgettable times. Like when use to spend summers with him, had our many family vacations and trips to New York to visit. And most of all, his most favorite time of the year Christmas where he would always have 101.1 CBS FM playing the holiday tunes and who can forget when my birthday which is New Years, Dick Clack would be on the TV. The decorations would also be so vibrant, and extravagant that family would always talk about even now to this day and say remember that Christmas/ New Years party back in… where the music would be blasting and the fun was always there. As I grew up and then got married to my beautiful wife he was there. When My wife and I had our amazing and beautiful daughter, he had the privilege to hold her, hug her, and kiss her so gently that she would smile so bright and he always loved to call her his one and only great grand daughter because she was and she will always know him as her Welo Welo. I am so blessed that she will have the ability to remember him and have memories that will last a lifetime. I know he is at home in Heaven celebrating with his Mom and Dad my great grandparents, his brother my uncle, and many other family and friends that we have lost over the years. But one thing remains our Love for our family will always remain strong and I know we will see him again soon and can continue our celebration and play endless games of dominoes, sing and dance and party. Grandpa I love you. Dios Te Bendiga!!!
That smile of yours Eric was your unique signature and gravitation pull to all who knew and loved you so dearly. May you be at peace and in the loving arms (wings) of those before you. Our love and prayers & condolences to all family and friends. Love Auntie Kathie & Greg Dawe
Tio, you will be missed by so many! I will always remember you and Dad singing in our kitchen and all your wonderful stories. I know you are welcomed by him and so many others now. Eternal rest to you. Praying for comfort for Titi, Vicky, Joey and Brenda. Sempre Fi!
Celebrating the life of Kate and mourning her passing with our family. We never would have felt ready to say good-bye to someone as special as Kate, but this timing feels especially tough. Wishing our family comfort and strength for the days and weeks ahead. May she rest in eternal peace.
I will always remember when I was a kid “Aunt Betty” taking my Mam Maw and I to yard sales on Saturday mornings. Then Sunday dinners at Mam Maw’s. Rest in peace Aunt Betty I love you !
Our deepest condolences to the family for the loss of your beloved father Pepe. We are so sadden by his loss.

Chicky, Vicky, Joey and Brenda our thoughts and prayers are with you🙏🕊 Pepe will forever live in your and our hearts. Sending our love your way at this time of sorrow. God bless you🙏
Love you,
Evelyn and Anthony
I only worked with Jim for a few years but he was a kind soul that never hesitated to help. I knew if I needed assistance with something at the shop, he would be the man to ask. I’ll never forget the day he gave me a hard time about driving the cars around for service, he talked me into driving the vactor, it was an experience I will never forget! Thank you for the memories Jim and my prayers will be with you and your family.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Words cannot begin to express how I feel. I am truly lost without her and I just can’t believe this happened. I love you mom!
Dear Vicky, Teddy, David & Diana,
I am so sorry about the loss of your beloved Dad & Grandfather. Your sweet memories of him will always be with you. He will be watching over you from above until you meet again. Love & Hugs. 😇❤
My deepest condolences to Chicky, Vicky, Joey, Brenda and the rest of the family. I am praying for God’s comfort to sustain you during this time of grieving. Pepe will be missed, but for a short time until we see him again! Love you all!
Dear Family, As you celebrate the life of your beloved husband, dad, grand dad I celebrate his life with you. My fondest memories as a child are at the joyful New Year’s family celebrations we all shared together at Pepe and Chicky’s house. Lots of great food, music and dancing with family! Manhattan beach times with you all was the highlight of my summers. All the family spending time together, laughing, eating all day long on the beach. My heart is heavy for you all in your loss. May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. May you all experience the God of all comfort like never before in your loss as He promises. I love you all dearly. Love Lulu

Mr. Wylie French did nothing to assist me/us, when it was reported that Mr. Lawrence Parks, his Industrial Arts Teacher at Green Run High School, was sexually abusing myself and other female students on his school campus during the early 1980’s. Although Mr. Lawrence Parks was later prosecuted and imprisoned, where he died in prison, Mr. Wylie French will never Rest In Peace because of his covert actions in dismissing such known behaviors.
My Dearest Titi, Joey and Vicky keeping you all in Prayers, I will Cherish the day we spent the day together, Sending Love Prayers and Healing during this time of needs
Our deepest sympathy to Gloria and the family. He was a blessing to your family and to the congregation, and he will be surely missed. We look forward to the day when “death will be no more” and we will see our dead loved ones again. (Rev. 21:3,4)

I was so sad to hear of her passing. I rode with Laurie at Hillcrest Farms and saw her at VBHSA horse shows. She will be missed.
Thoughts and prayers for her family and friends.
Rose, I was so sorry to get your message about your husband’s passing. I know you miss him terribly. I am sending my belated deepest sympathy and caring wishes to you and your family. Wishing you courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart forever. You will always be in my heart, I love you and so sorry this is a late response as I had not heard the news of Eddie’s passing. Forever friends, Diane
John was always so kind and embracing. His expertise as a broker and the knowledge he had made a difference for many of those realtors he served. He worked hard to assist the realtors who worked with him. He fought for us with clients who were unreasonable. He had a gift for turning things around. He went to bat for me and I will always appreciate the way he defended me. He looked for the win win in everything. I’ll never forget that and he will always hold a warm place in my heart.
I got to know Rita and Fred during many years of working together at the Ascension Soup Kitchen Ministry. They were absolutely wonderful people and they will be sorely missed. I will continue to pray for them and their family. May they rest together in the eternal peace of Christ.
Heartfelt condolences to Linda and family..Jim is now at peace and pain free. May the love and prayers from friends give your hearts much comfort during this difficult time. love .dottie

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter Donna and Eddie! Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot imagine the grief you must be feeling.

Thank you for always being involved in my life and supporting me. The gift of your life and the countless memories that I have of us together will last a lifetime. To say that you will be missed is an understatement. I love you always Grandma.

sorry to hear about richard passing we worked together for many years and became good friends. we had a lot of good times together that i will never forget. he will always be rememberd and missed
So many wonderful memories throughout my childhood of time spent with Uncle Richard. Many were from fishing, duck hunting or just sharing a good story. Never a cross word. Loved by many, missed by all.
You were more loved than words can ever describe. I hope you’re flying high, pain free and taking huge deep breaths. There were so many people waiting to see you there. Until I see you again…I love you dad <3
My condolence to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories from the age of 6 years old until early adulthood as friends. Jumping ditches, fishing for minnows, skimming on boards in the swamp waters, blackberry picking, Terrace Theater , Speedy Gozales, going to the beach, Sun- In on our hair, tanning with baby oil in the sun, lots of birthday parties and camping in our backyard. What great memories to have. Lovie you will be truly missed by all!
Kathy and Rick, Howard and I are so sorry for the loss of your dad. I have many fond memories of Mr. Brown. I do think of him as the Maple Man. He would take Howard’s honey and whip it, so good! Your dad was such a wonderful and kind man. Thinking of him at church makes me smile. Hugs to you all.
Love, Leslie and Howard
Aunt Lovie…there will never be another like you! You will be missed but truly NEVER gorgotten! And oh what memories we have! So thankful to have shared so many memories with you and the entire family. I love you and pray that you are surrounded by Jesus and all our family who went before you ❤️🙏❤️
June was in my Yoga class for many years. She was a delight to have in my class. She always had a kind word for me as she left for the night.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. I will remember her fondly.
Marilyn Siddle.
I will always remember Glenn. My Dad, Marvin Stokely, recalled his childhood times with his cousin on Roanoke Island fondly. I also remember when he lived across the water from my grandparents on Bay Island. Glenn gave me marble etched bookends and a beautiful marble etched box for the birth of each of my girls. So sorry for your loss.🙏
Dick was always alert to what needed to be done and always willing and able to do it! He kept Faith’s equipment and systems running long after they needed replacing! He was also a concerned and helpful friend . He will definitely be missed!
I played softball with Lovie in the late 1970’s. What a fun, loving person she was, full of life. My heartfelt condolences to all of Lovie’s family members.
Mom, I love you so much and I miss you everyday! I talk to you though and I’m sure you can hear me. I know you’re happy with Dad and all of your other relatives that have gone before you. I will see you soon!
I am so very sorry! Sallie and I worked together at Lifetouch and also had mutual friends. I always looked forward to the days that we worked together. She was a very interesting person as well.
I’m so sorry to hear of Sallie’s passing! She was a dear client who I came to see as a friend over the years. It saddens me greatly to know I won’t be seeing her warm smile again but I take comfort in knowing she be is in a better place and was dearly loved by by family and friends during her time here, especially her husband.
Sincerely,
Katie Kovalcik
I am so sorry to hear of Sallie’s passing. She was a great person and will be truly missed. Over the years, she has become one of my closest friends. I always enjoyed our lunches at Doumar’s with Dave and my sister Theresa. GO HOOS! My thoughts and prayers are with Dave and the rest of their family🙏❤
I met Sallie through my sister Pam friendship with her husband Dave. I always enjoyed meeting Sallie and Dave for lunch at Doumar’s. She was a very nice and caring lady.My thought’s and prayer’s are with Dave and the family.
Jeannette was a lovely, gracious lady and she had such a sweet spirit – all of which have been doubled now that she is Home with her Lord and her husband. My first time to really get to know Jeannette was when she taught our youngest son, Matt, at Chapel Christian School. She saw potential in our son and cast him in the lead role of Daniel in “Daniel and the Lions’ Den” in their school play that year. She had such a caring heart for the children she taught and she made a great difference in Matt’s self esteem. Johnny and I also got to know Jeannette a little better at the choir functions each year at the Chapel. She loved to laugh and cut up – particularly with Jackie Lee! She was a joy to be around and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you celebrate Jeannette’s life together and we are so sorry we will be out of town and will not be there to support your family.
May God richly bless you,
Johnny and Sharon Pollard
David, you and your loved ones will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you all navigate this difficult time. I pray you all will find comfort in one another and embrace each other as you honor your wife’s life and legacy.
Dear David, my sincerest condolences to you during this difficut time. Your sweet wife led a purposeful life and her spirit was just as beautiful as her outward appearance. I pray that God will continue to hold you in his arms of comfort and strength.
Evelyn, I am deeply sorrowful to hear that your long time friend and husband Alan transitioned. Know that you are not alone and though it may be a new season of life, thanks to God that you are surrounded by family and friends. God bless you and the family in the days ahead.
Tammy,
So very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that fond memories of your mom will help you get through this very difficult time. I recall your mom to be so kind and fun-loving and I know she doted on your boys. Please know you are in my prayers. With Love, Lorel
May the love that you receive during this difficult time remind you of the love that she gave. Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for your loss.
Sally, you are a bright shining light forever. Thanks for your bright light you shared with the World. I will think of you when I look to the night sky from now on.
Had the pleasure of working with Richard at NAB Little Creek for many years who was soft spoken and would help anyone who needed it. Definitely a good person who will be missed.
When I look at this picture, I see a gentleman very much at peace with his life. That is how we wish to be when our life ends! Be at peace Gayle and family. God bless you!
Dorothy: I am saddened by Don’s passing. A good neighbor and fellow shipmate. I know your grief. Take solace, in time it does fade but never goes away. What remains are the wonderful memories of your life together with Don. “Fair winds and a following sea”. Skip Schweizer
I served with Don Burson on board USS Aucilla a Fleet Oiler. I was newly commissioned and Gunnery Officer. I benefited from his careful guidance and great professionalism. I am saddened by his passing.
I’ve known Lovie since I was probably 12 .., A lot has happened over the years but all our enter actions she was so sweet and with a smile sending love and 🙏🏼 To all who grieve during this time!
Franky, Gary Hayden just told us about Bee’s passing. I know he is having fun with mom(Marion) and dad(Don) right now!!! What a fun and amazing man. May you and your family have peace knowing he is with his Savior!!!

Elizabeth and Family,
From The Lackey family we send to you and your family our sincere condolences in the passing of Keith. He was a dedicated neighbor who was always lending a hand in whatever needed to be done.
It is comforting to know that Keith was saved and is now with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Rest in The Lord’s grace and know that one day you will meet again.
Sincerely,
Tammy Day (The Lackey Family)
Dear Nancy, Kelley and Krystle,
We were so saddened to learn of the loss of your husband and stepfather. We pray God will give you His presence that brings peace, comfort and courage for the painful days ahead. You have our sympathy, prayers and blessings.
Keith worked for me for a number of years. He was an awesome carpenter and I learned a lot from him. He would get to work late but would tell me “I’ll leave early to make up for it!” We had some good times…. he was a good man!
Very sorry to hear of Stan’s passing. Although we had not been in touch much over the years, my wife Nancy and I enjoyed visiting with Stan during several family trips to Outer Banks. Our thoughts and prayers and with Stan and his family.
Wanda and family, we were so sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. We remember him as a creative person who could fix and build just about everything! We hold you in prayer for comfort and peace.
Nancy,
My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family at this time of great sadness. May the grace of God bring you comfort and strength in the days to come.
Wanda and family. Please accept my sincere sympathy for Keith’s passing. He was a “fighter” in so many ways…now the battle is over and he can rest in peace. He was always so attentive and thoughtful to me and my family (Wendell and Curtis especially) when they were ill. I will miss his friendship and caring regular calls ‘just checking in’. God Bless you all and give you peace.
Rest in Heaven sweet Mary, you are loved and missed by so many. A great Mom, Grandma and great grandma . Take care of your heavenly family now. Home but not forgotten
What a beautiful tribute to such a beautiful lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, as you navigate life without this bright light shining the way.
Gary and Pam and Family there are no words to ease your pain at this time Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this very sad time REST IN PEACE Mary You will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you
Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Our association with you and Jim has been a pleasure. He was a good man and will be dearly missed
Condolences to the family. Keith was an old friend of the family. He did know a lot of people and loved to talk. I am sure he is quickly making friends in heaven.
I enjoyed working with Jim on various technology education projects over the years. We wrote to better prepare teachers to deliver relevant technological concepts to their students. He was a great contributor to the material sciences community and a friend.
My Momma was the most beautiful soul that ever lived. She fiercely loved her family, her friends, and her church. Momma taught us how to be strong, brave, and persevere through the hardest of times. And she loved good, terrible jokes, which fondly came to be known as “Gram jokes” by her cherished grandchildren. Tell someone a Gram joke in her honor. Laugh and smile and love each other. Momma’s love and lessons will carry on through many generations to come. Fly high, Momma. I love you forever. ~JellyBean
Bad mom/gram jokes were a thing in our family way before “dad jokes” became a term. Mom was funny and always tried her best to share joy with everyone she met. She will be missed but remembered by many. she fought so long and so hard. I am glad she can finally rest and hope she has found peace.
I have known Cyndi as a tag a long of Candy’s since we were in grade school. As adults (and we both used that term lightly) we had many good times together through church and our girls’ activities before she moved from Antioch. She will always be remembered for her kind and caring spirit and her awful jokes and puns. I remember when she got her MS diagnosis and how determined she was to fight it. And fight it, she did. She has earned her rest and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Till we meet again, my friend…
Cyndi’s beautiful spirit will be missed here and her memory is an inspiration. We can’t think of Cyndi without remembering her big heart, larger than life personality, generous sense of humor, and all the laughs that we shared together…. And her love for her dogs! When our son Carter was born she was his “Grandma Cyndi” and he was her “Huckleberry”…. She has a special place in our memories. Wishing peace to all.
God Bless You Mary. May you rest in peace. You were our most lovely housekeeper on our maternity unit. Many happy memories chatting and working with you! Love to you Mary and your lovely family!!❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was certainly full of life and love! She will be remembered warmly. Fortunately, this is only a temporary separation! Jesus will be here soon!
Dear Greg,
We will miss you (you and your family). You were a 100% worker. We worked together a long time. I always seemed to get you out of trouble, but I gave you a lot of BS.
Bob Wood
Foreman of the Bull Crew
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of sorrow. May your fond memories be your comfort in the days ahead until you meet again. Scott Laney and family
Mike, you were always an inspiration to me from your technical prowess to your great sense of humor and personality. Fair Winds and Following Seas, my friend!
Our thoughts and prayers are with Karen and family. We have many happy memories of the Golden Girls! Please know we are thinking of you— Joyce and Susan Sams
Cyndi loved her silly little hats. I was amazed at how many she had. It was another way she loved putting a smile on another’s face. Her sweet humor will be missed. You are missed. Cyndi run free.
🌹😘🌹
My beautiful sister CYNDI has gone on to heaven where she is dancing with JESUS
with her new legs ! I miss her but I understsnd why she decided to go.. CYNDI has fought thru MS, infections and procedure after procedure. CYNDI was stronger, smarter, more loving then anyone I know. Plus she could sing, tell jokes and rollled over so many obsticles always coming at her. I
feel privileged to be her sister..💕💖💋
I have known Bonnie for 34 years,she is one the sweetest people I’ve ever known. I am am happy for her now that shes home with the angels. And she is free to do whatever she wants to do. I know the family is going to miss her but she is in a much better place now. And I am so happy for her.
Mike was great Test Engineer. We worked the Enterprise with me and his sense of humor and attitude often made my day. and he loved the Cowboys. Thanks Mike for all you did for out country and our company.
Bonnie took me under her Wing when I was just 14 years of age. I later became her son-in-law, but it was then as a young teenager that she became my second Mother, selflessly caring for me as one of her own. That Love & Guidance continued well into my adulthood and extended to her first two grandchildren, of which she helped Sherri and I raise from day one.
To me, Bonnie exemplified Unconditional Love. For the rest of my days, she will Always remain a permanent fixture in my mind and heart.
I love & miss you Mom❤😘 Please give Nana and Uncle Jerry a hug for me. We will all see you again one day and I will see if I can bring some Jujubes!❤😘
It was with sadness that I read of Jim’s passing. I know it is a difficult time for the family. It’s hard to lose someone you love, no matter the circumstances. Reading his obituary was very enlightening. It sounds as if Jim had a great career teaching and was loved and respected by his students. I can relate to your loss and the loss felt by his students and peers because my Bill was in the academic world as professor and dean. May you feel God’s loving, comforting presence during this difficult time. With love and sympathy, Martha Jo Wilson
This obituary shocked me. Tony was one of most brilliant and accomplished people I have ever met. We worked closely together for years courtesy of Electric Boat, in Groton and San Diego. I first met Tony in 1975 the day he reported in to Groton after his escape from Vietnam at its end. He struck me immediately as an ‘old soul.’
I helped him move from New Britain to Groton and subsequently learned a lot about his years in Germany and Vietnam. His out-of-the-box thinking and analyses were something I and most others had not experienced before nor since. Basically, his life, accomplishments and thoughts are a book that should have been written — perhaps more than one book. He was far above and beyond a military historian.
We lost track after the mid-80’s, but I reached out from Germany and found him in 2014, and we shared in-depth correspondences for two years about our between times and my years in Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan. Then he stopped responding. I knew he was not a fan of email so I dropped him notes around Christmas for few years after. His last note to me was December 22, 2020, but included no details.
I looked forward to continuing our discussions, but nothing followed.
However his life ended, I hope it was among family and friends, with some recognition, without pain, and with the knowledge that I held him in highest regard and also as a life-changer.
Sending deepest condolences to the family. Your Mother was an inspirational, brave and loving woman who brightened many lives. May your memories be a blessing and her beautiful soul will live on.
Cyndi has been one of my closest friends for many years. I will miss her so very much – her goofy jokes, her silly hats, her love of animals and children, the way she named all her “vehicles”, our many lunches and card games with Candy, and so much more.
She was one-of-a-kind and heaven is brighter because of her joining! Rest In Peace, my friend. 💜💜💜
Just heard of Red’s passing. My condolences to the Saxton Families. Many memories of the outer banks with Red and Rob during the 1970’s. Thoughts and prayers
I am your baby of ur grandchildren and I can say that I have been completely distraught without u here but at peace knowing u are no longer suffering.
there are so many things I needed to talk about with u and I’ll regret a couple of them for the rest of my life but as I sat there looking at u with tears in my eyes as u lay there on ur death bed I did speak to u silently and all I could do was get out the words I’m so sorry grandma but u knew exactly what I meant by that but it’s still never gunna be the same as actually speaking to u in person. it would’ve meant more.
I love u very much and will forever miss u and no one else on Earth will never ever take ur place u were and still are the BEST GRANDMOTHER IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD.
Fred took care of my home and me for many years while working for Dodson Bros. From the first time I met him, I knew he was a great man and would soon become a close friend. I will miss Freddie and will always carry love in my heart for him for the rest of my life. God Bless you Carolyn and family. I hurt for you and me as we have lost one of our Lord’s finest children.
God bless the Johnson family and may HE be with you always.
Phil Hightower
I just came across this. My deepest condolences for her family. Star was a good friend and Ill always remember that smile. My deepest memory was when Missionary called “Star” and we both started reading at the same time. Something that always stuck with me. Til we meet again “Star”
Sending all of our love and light, prayers for comfort and mercy for all Dean’s family and friends, and praising God for the relief of the suffering he was enduring. 🙏🏼💗

Going to miss uou Dave. You were always willing to help me or my family or anyone whenever someone needed it. Going to miss you and never will forget your totally unselfish caring for others soul. Dave l am looking forward to seeing you again on the other side my friend. RIP love you man!
I find this sad news as I recover from open heart surgery. Mike was my next door neighbor in Hilltop, VaBeach. We went to school together and got into plenty of mischief as well. Didn’t realize he had been suffering.
Mike was very talented, kind, compassionate and funny. May his next journey be with fair winds and blue skies. Condolences to his family.
I have known Tommy since about 1958. He was the greatest shortstop I ever played baseball with. We were on the same softball team for a few years. I will miss my conversations with him at his store. Rest in peace old. You now will have a full team of our old friends in Heaven to place ball with.
Debra, and I are heartbroken for you and your family. Words can’t express how sorry we are. Mabel loved waking up to Mike when we walked the neighborhood and I know from stories of Lou, Mabel knew his great character. If you need anything, please know we are there for you.
Mike has always been someone that I have looked up to and felt a spark of life when I was around him, From the moment I first met him holding on to his leg as he dragged me down the football field at Oceana, refusing to come down.
All my love to the family and friends he is missed.
I’ve known Tommy since the days that he worked at Willey’s Sporting Goods in the Princess Anne Plaza and i’ve always enjoyed dropping in his and Judy’s shop to say “Hi”. Tommy is a legend in the sports community here and i will miss his quick smile and kind demeanor. Our hearts go out to Judy and all Tommy’s friends. He was a great guy.
Judy, Chuck and Ken, I am so sorry for your loss. Tommy “Ace” as he was known on the baseball field was a one-of-a-kind ball player. I enjoyed watching him play when I was a teenager and later playing softball on the same team at Willey’s Sporting Goods. Tommy was the first employee my dad hired at the store. He was a great person and friend to so many folks in the community. You all are in our prayers,
We are so sorry to hear about Tom. I will miss his smile passing you both on your morning walks in the neighborhood. Our condolences and thoughts are with you and your family.
Tommy “ACE” Atkinson & I were brothers by different mothers! He was the greatest /best all around ball player ever out of the Va. Beach area! It didn’t matter football, basketball , baseball , softball you were, “The Man”! Ace rest in peace & I know you are with Carl & Edna playing ball, eating gravy biscuits! You will be truly missed! LOL
brother! The Baker Boyz’s Danny aka “Shakenbake” & Ricky!
Sue and Family….you have my deepest condolences in the passing of your lovely mom. I so enjoyed meeting and talking with her on the different occasions. I could feel the love that she had for her children through her stories and how proud she was of you.
Love to you,
Tammy Alfonsi
To all my cousins, Debbie, Susan, Hank, and Gary and your moms grandchildren and great grandchildren. I am so sorry for your loss.! My most powerful and positive memory is one that will last a life time, and that was a love of church and the good of Gods love and the respect that we should all have of God.

I remember playing baseball in his yard on Bray Road back in the 60’s. We had a blast on our Vegas softball tournament in 84 with great teammates. Tommy’s infectious smile and laugh will always be with me. A brother gone way too soon.
Wilda and I would like to offer our condolences to Dean. He was always a joker with me and a big teddy bear. He liked to hang out with us Navy guys occasionally as well. Especially the parties… We did not keep in touch unfortunately but we enjoyed running into him when visiting his Mom and Dad in Va Beach! Time goes by too fast and his life was cut way too short. Rest in peace my friend!! Chuck (goober) & Wilda Nedley
My mom “Marla” loved seeing her cousins and Patrick was a great representation of why she enjoyed those visits so much. His friendly smile and conversation always welcomed you into his presence.
Our family is always with us in our hearts and memories.
I always enjoyed going to visit Jim each year and going crabbing with him. It was a great time, the crabs were so yummy, and Jim was always a joy to spend time with.
I am Steve Hutchens’ sister-in-law & I am very sorry for your loss. I know Steve will miss him so much but glad he has so many years of good memories to reflect on. Prayers going out to your family.
Grandma, you will be loved and missed;b forever. I have so many wonderful memories that warm my heart just thinking about them. I feel comfort in knowing you are up in heaven, free of any pain, and saying hello to old friends and loved ones. I know one day we will all be together again and that will be a glorious day up in heaven. For now we have all of these wonderful memories that you’ve left for so many people. I cherished the first 2 wheel bike you had gotten me for my birthday I believe. It was red, had a banana seat, horn, you name it…..I loved that bike and drove it everywhere. Until the training wheels fell off!! I remember the late night card games that were so much fun! I remember the 74 white Monty Carlo, what a tank!! At one time or another we were all in Farmingdale (where I still am after all these years). Whether it was Birthday parties, picnics, card games, bbq’s, softball games, bowling, holiday times, we did so many special things as a family, even going to the amusement parks, we always had a blast and so much fun. I am very saddened to hear that you have passed, but I do take comfort knowing your up in heaven with Jesus now. To my entire family, I am sending you all of my love, thoughts, prayers, condolences and lots of positive energy during this difficult and sad time. I love each and everyone of you and pray you all find comfort. I have a million memories floating around in my mind, but the ones that really make me smile and the ones with so much laughter!! We could be in the middle of a card game and then all of a sudden everyone would just start laughing with tears flowing from their eyes. I can remember Gary and I absolutely loving Star Wars, Legos, and then came the commodore 64 etc. Those were fun times I’ll never forget. I remember Uncle Hank coming home from the Navy and hiding in my pantry kitchen closet at Weiden St while Grandma and my Mom waited for me to open the door, and the SURPRISE!!! That was awesome. Aunt Sue being the funnest Aunt ever, who ALWAYS did right by me and my brothers. I will never forget any of these memories. And I truly love you all!! My Mom, what can I say, if it weren’t for her unwavering love for her kids, I would not be the man I am today. So thank you Mom, I love you. The bottom line is without Grandma none of this big beautiful family would even exist. So I’d like to thank you once again Grandma for being so kind, loving, and teaching us all very valuable lessons in life that we all can use to this day. I love you Grandma, I’ll miss you, we all will, and knowing you’re comforted up in heaven brings my heart a little peace.
Until we meet again Grandma, rest easy, rest in peace and always know you are and forever will be loved more than you could ever imagine. Love you!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
I have so many memories of times spent with the family. They are all so special I cannot pick just one, but I do remember how kind and loving Ann and David were. They will always hold a special place in my heart and my childhood as Rachel and I were good friends and went to each others slumber parties all the time. These are the memories I will always hold close and dear to my heart and soul.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. I knew him many years ago while he attended St Vincent’s along with his brother, Greg.
I will keep the family in my prayers especially at this time of year.
The Tworek family, who lived next to the Millers for many years, send heart felt condolences to Mr. Miller, John and “J”. Ann was a very special person. It was a honor to have known her. May God bless you all. Cathy, Laura, Margaret and Charlotte.
Seinfield – I can’t seem to remember her name, but it rhymes…….
I love you Mom – even before I met your daughter, I considered you a superstar. I will be looking for you above, spitting nickels and being the brightest light in the sky. Keep an eye us will ya?!
Without you Grandma, I wouldn’t have existed in this world. You are with the Angels now and I can only imagine you immersed in peace, warmth, and surrounded by everyone you missed while here on Earth. All of them are joyous to see you while us down here are saddened by your passing on. I love you so much Grandma and will continue to speak to you from time to time, reminded of you from time to time, but in my heart always. My prayers go out to my Mom, my Uncle Hank, my Aunt Sue, and my Uncle Gary. And may those prayers resonate throughout the branches of the tree that Grandma had such a major part in planting. Rest in heavenly peace Grandma.
I got to know Jimmy in the early 80’s when I joined one of his other passions – “The Original Baseball Draft”. He was wonderful friend and commissioner of the league where some of his highlights were being featured on the Hampton Roads Show and feature articles in the Virginia Pilot touting that he was the first to create such a draft. I will miss Jimmy. Thoughts and prayers to all of his family.
Ann was a dear childhood friend! We enjoyed playing Chinese jump rope, Play Doh, Barbies, hanging out in her brother Mikes’s tree house & double dating! Our friendship continued thru High School until I moved away & we lost touch…I will cherish the warm memories & Ann is surely resting in peace now w/ the Good Lord!
Jimmy and I were Best Friends, he guided me through life, he was my mentor and like a brother to me. So many great memories
Thank you Walk Walk, I will miss you my friend.
My prayers are with Jaqueita and the family.
It was a pleasure caring for you. I will forever cherish our memories. You will always be loved and missed. Forever in my heart. I love you Keith Gibson.
I know it been 4 years since you died but I miss you so much you were my first love and my soulmate i love you Michael i hope you save me a spot next to you in heaven till I see you again i promise to way remember you and tell everyone about you,❤️
Jimmy was such a good guy with more great qualities than almost anyone I had the pleasure to know for over 50-years. Condolences to Jaqueita, love of his life. God rest his soul to infinity,
Please accept my condolences. Although I did not know Andrea, I can tell she made the people around her happy, and was a happy soul herself. God has received a special Angel.
Andrea’s reach was far and wide. I remember spending time with her and Joe when I was a server at Bayside. She was always SO friendly and kind, and she spread endless laughter to everyone around her. People beamed when when they saw her and loved to talk with her and spend time with her. She was always in tune with what was going on and would take the time to inquire about everyone’s life. I remember her celebrating the wins of the people she loved and sharing in their sadness. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. She is beloved by the community and will be missed dearly. ❤️ Sending condolences to everyone affected by this great loss.
Bailey, I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing your mom, but I’m sure she was a special person because she raised an amazing human being. Wishing you peace and comfort during this unimaginable time.”
To my friend Bailey and her Family in your hour of grief: You’re in my prayers and heart. May the light of God shine down and guide you through this darkness.
I grew up with Andrea in Loda. Since hearing of her passing, I have thought of many memories with her. I will always remember her smile. It was perfect and infectious. While we remained friends only through social media, every time I saw a photo of her I smiled because she hadn’t changed one bit..still smiling and still cute as can be. My heart goes out to her family and friends, because I know there is sadness and pain with her passing. May your memories of Andrea get you through this difficult time.
Michelle
Fran, if my circumstances were different I’d be right there to give you a big hug. I’m so sorry about Larry’s passing. Condolences to the entire family.
My sweet niece Andrea was so Beautiful, giving, loving, and genuinely Happy :). No matter the time of day, I could call and chat and we would laugh at the silliest things… she said Aunt Mary, “Do you remember when Ryann had to ride in grandpa Milton Mitchell’s blue paint van? She hated that van it was so dirty and it was so messy and cluttered and she always asked grandpa Milton why he never clean that van out?” Andrea I do remember…. you and I just laughed because Grandpa Milton could not believe Ryann would refuse to ride in it until he cleaned it out…. Only WE GOT STUCK CLEANING IT, while Grandpa Milton and Ryann went in the house and had Lemonade and Watermelon! Hahaha. Oh my GAWD you can’t be far away from us Andy…. You just have to come back in our dreams, I can see you in my thoughts and prayers, this just can’t be real, I don’t know why you had to go so sQQn ?? you will always be in my thoughts and forever in my heart! I love you Sweet Girl! Take care of the Grands til I see you again Tweety!
Andrea was not just “a cousin”. She was my best friend, like a sister growing up. Andrea added sparkle and positive energy to EVERYTHING!!! We got into some mischief along the way together, lol -but mostly just hilarious, often clutzy times!!! I will miss her spunk, fire, sense of humor, and ability to love beyond all boundaries!!! Fly high Andrea
Dick, Dee, Ryann, Joe and Bailey,
My memories of Andrea are of our days growing up in Loda and then later working for Dick at the Country Club and occasionally babysitting for Kacie and Ryann. Andrea and I became friends and her sweet face, contagious laugh and overall joy for life is what I remember most. Luckily, we reconnected via Facebook and this is what I noticed: she was an EXCELLENT mom. You could feel the love she had for her daughter through the pictures she posted. Bailey, we don’t know each other but my heart is shattered for you.., if there’s any comfort, any at all, perhaps it’s knowing that you are and were loved by your incredible mom and she will forever be with you in all you do. From a mother’s perspective, I know complete and unconditional love when I see it and it’s all I see when I saw pictures of the two of you. Joe, again, I don’t know you but I see her smile in all the photos of the two of you and all I see is love. How lucky you two were to have found each other. Im so sorry your love story was interrupted by this tragedy. Dick, Dee and Ryann, I am so sorry for your loss. Sisters are the best and Ryann, I’m so sorry you have to say goodbye to Andrea. Dick and Dee—there are no words. Sending you all prayers for peace I’m the midst of this terrible loss.
Jaqueita, I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your dear Jim. In the short time that I knew him, it was evident that he was the love of your life, and you were the love of his life. Hs was so kind to always dance with me (and any other single ladies without dates) at the Riverside Christmas parties, and I will never forget his kindness in passing on tickets he received to the B-52’s so I could go to their concert one summer to relieve a little pre-wedding stress by dancing in the aisles to “Love Shack”. Jim was a truly kind man who will be greatly missed and mourned by many. I have thought of you both many times over the years and wondered if you were still in Hampton…my sincerest condolences and much love. Karen Haskett
Andrea was my son Corbin’s first love. Andrea and Corbin were best friends when they were very young 2 years to 7 years. Corbin called her “my Andrea”. Fond memories.
Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you, Jaqueita and your family at this difficult time.
I didn’t know Andrea as well as I know Joe but once I met her I knew that she was the kind of person you never forget meeting. She was a beautiful gentle soul and she truly was Joe’s soulmate and they were the perfect couple. She will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and it truly was my honor to have known her. You will be sorely missed and my prayers go out to Joe and the rest of the family.
This picture where andrea is thinking “I could totally be laying out on the beach, instead.. “why am I here”?! Oh yes, because I love surgery”. Such a sweet soul gone too soon ❤️
My sister and I started rescuing dogs from kill shelters and off chains a few years ago. We don’t have a facility so the pups we rescued had to have a safe place to land once we got them. Andrea and Joe were the very first foster family when we began this endeavor. They opened their homes and hearts to these neglected souls and made them whole again while we put them up for adoption. Every time we would text Andrea a pic of our newest rescue , she would always text back “bring him/her to mama”. Cam, their current pup was a foster fail and I remember the night I dropped him off with jason and he said “yeah, you’re never coming back here to get that dog”.
Andrea had the biggest heart and was one of the most generous people I have ever met. She used her voice for the voiceless and it was always such a pleasure working with her. The world will never be the same without her …I’m honored I had the chance to know her!
My deepest condolences to her family and friends. Thinking of you all.
I just discovered the passing of Jerry today. I have many fond memories of him. He often came to Nyssa to spend time with his grandparents Fred and Alice Savage, who were my great aunt and uncle. Please accept my condolence.
Thinking of you all during this time. Brenda was vibrant and fiercely loved her family. Her presence in a room was always heard and bright. She had a great sense of humor. She never let me forget that I was the cousin that screamed during her wedding and I will forever smile when those memories fly back to me. May she rest in peace ❤
We are so sorry for your loss. Brenda was An amazing wife, sister, mother and Mimi. She loved you all so very much! She was an amazing lady that always showed up no matter what for her family and friends. There are no words to describe just how much she will be missed by everyone. I know she is watching over all of us and will be guiding those babies through life that she treasured so dearly. Big hugs to you all!
Lin and I were friends since elementary school and played in the Norview High School band together. We had much in common and had many fascinating conversations and get togethers on a wide range of subjects. I will greatly miss him. Stan Ross .
Brenda was an amazing woman. She always made you feel welcome. She was patient, kind, funny and loving. Her love for her family was so strong. I admired her. Brenda started off as my boss, but over the years she became a dear friend and then family. She will be missed more than I can express. But I know she will be watching over her family and friends, especially her grand babies. My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this time.
Brenda was like no other! She never met a stranger! Everyone was important to her and she truly meant it when she asked “how are you doing!” She took time to make sure she said hello and caught up with you when you saw her at family functions. She was kind hearted! Loved her grand babies like no other! She made the best regardless of how she was feeling!
My condolences to WC for losing his soul mate too soon, To Robbie and Kayleen for losing their mother at a young age! For Will who will only know her love through her memories, for Evie and Grady who have lost their Mimi at such a young age! And for the entire family for their loss! May there be some kind of comfort in her memory, peace knowing she is no longer suffering and may you be surrounded with the love of family today, tomorrow and always know that you are never alone!
Love – Crystal Matthews
My sweet friend Andrea, I will miss you in my everyday life. VBASC won’t be the same without you! Joe & family I wish you all love & healing as you navigate the future. ❤️
I remember when we lived in Redondo Beach and Larry took all the Christmas candy in the dish on the coffee table. The evidence was in his robe pocket. When mom called him out, he said the candy must have crawled into the hole in his pocket. Better moms wrath on him than me😊 So sad to think that my older brother is no longer on this earth. He is so lucky to be with our dad in heaven
So sad to hear about Nickey’s passing. She was a real go-getter and packed a lot into her life. She obviously made service for others her priority. I am sure that there are many in her immediate orbit who will greatly miss her. She was a good, kindhearted person with lots of energy and focus to devote to raising up and supporting others.
Sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I met him when I used to hang out with his son,
Steve, who was and is one of my best friends. Bill was a very personable guy and very much a creative person, making crafts and objects you would usually find in stores. He was very easy to get along with and even later in life was very much a free spirit. I remember he used to ride his bike to work, in all kinds of weather, and grabbed hold, with both hands, of whatever caught his interest. I remember seeing that tendency in Steve as anything he did, he wanted to be the best. He tolerated me in my teen years and was always accepting of Steve and me in playing ping pong in his garage. He was good at what he did and I appreciated him telling me, with great enthusiasm, the intricacies of what he discovered. He was a great guy and I’ll miss him
My sincere condolences to my family of the loss of Aunt “Cookie” Mary Beachum. She was definitely the matriarch of the family! Love and prayers to you all. She will be missed.
So very sorry to hear of my neighbor Mr. Pike’s passing. My condolences to Mrs. Pike and the family. What a wonderful & kind person Mr. Pike was. He always had a friendly hello when we crossed paths & would share a story or two before we’d part ways in our driveways. He will be missed. What a great neighbor & person.
Tommy, you surely will be missed but I know you are in a better place now looking down on us. Not only were you a good friend and neighbor, but you left me many fond childhood memories playing football in front of your house as well as playing pool in your parent’s garage. It was also great building the 9th grade First Colonial High School Homecoming Float. Keith Ellis
My heart will always hold a special place for Miss Boo & Mr. Bill for all the love & support they have given to Braiden & I. She will be missed, loved & cherished. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. My love and condolences to the family.
Sorry for your loss. Please remember all the light that she brought to those she touched. love and prayers to family, friends and all who had the pleasure getting to know her and her family.
To my sister, when I found out, I was soooooo sad, but then I thought about how you gave your heart to Jesus, so by the grace of GOD, I know you are in Heaven, and someday I will see you again, and ONLY by the grace of GOD I can go on, Love you and miss you sooooooo much, you little Brother “G”
While I haven’t see her in years, she has made such a huge impact on my life in a positive way. To say she has lived her very best life, would be an understatement and I have always admired that. The world is at a loss but Heaven sure did gain an angel❤️
Everyone at Cavalier Sportswear was saddened to hear about the passing of long time friend Tommy Atkinson. His enthusiastic greetings when he stopped by will be greatly missed and always treasured.
Our condolences to his family.
– The Johnson Family
John was a friendly, faithful friend to many many people, as well as a leader in his churches and a teacher. He led a Disciple group that I took a few years ago. He will be missed.
Before I ever met Boo, my father-in-law told me she was a pistol. As it turns out, he was being very kind. To me, she was a 4 barrel shotgun! Full of spunk and sass and with her raspy voice would offer her opinion whether you asked for it or not. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more straightforward person. I feel honored to be accepted into her heart and family with open arms. Our world seems empty without her. I will sorely miss her.
And If there is a Fudruckers in heaven…. I’ll never hear the end of it when I get there.
He was an amazing young man taken from us way to soon as well as a beautiful queen to watch entertain. He was loved by many and will never be forgotten…
I feel your pain. I am sorry for your loss.
My kids father has stage 3 & I worry everyday.
Stay strong it’s going to be weird not seeing him but you will always feel his presence around you, so know he is always with you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙
I am truly blessed to have such an awesome extended family and Boo was definitely the matriarch. She intimidated me when I first met her, but it didn’t take long to learn what a caring, loving and generous women she was. I loved coming up to visit and being a part of the loud, crazy and delicious Sunday dinners. She made the best pot roast I have ever had. We are all going to miss her tremendously and my heart aches for her family, such a sad time. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Craig was a talented, fun loving, caring young man who was taken way too soon. He was my son-in-law but I loved him as a Son and I Miss him and Love him so much. My heart is forever broken. RIP my Beloved Craig & we will see each other again one day soon. 💔
I have been fortunate to kniw the Robinson family since my childhood days.they lived behind me on Johnstown rd..WC worked for our paint shop that his brother Cecil and my husband started…I knew him when Brenda and WC started dating ivwas fortunate enough to cater their wedding. and also honored to coach their daughter Kaylee. my daughter worked at the school student teaching where Brenda worked. our family’s have always be connected in different ways.but the honor to have called Brenda my friend will forever be carried in my heart..my prayers gor peace and comfort to you allx🙏❤️
Such a beautiful obituary. 37th & Zen was the first place I hung out in Hampton Roads when I moved here. I remember the laughter & jokes from the front of the house to the back. Especially when Noelia would joke around with Gillette & Craig, such a beautiful place with such beautiful people. He will be missed. May God continue to shed love and light over your family. To Noelia, The 37th & Zen Family & The Lyon Family I give my most sincere condolences ❤️
You will be in our thoughts. We are so saddened to learn of your beloved husband’s passing. We hope you find peace and comfort knowing that heaven has gained another angel.
Fly free dear one, into the arms of angles and all that is Holy. Thank you for sharing yourself with us and bringing your light into our mutual journeys. May you return to the essence of all that is. Peace and Love to you and all who love you.
We have the most wonderful memories of Leroy from the many family reunions and send our sincere condolences to the family. We are unable to attend his service, but please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Sending much love, Jim and Cindy
With all my love and all my prayers, I will keep Craig in my mind always and forever. I am sorry that he had to go so soon but I am grateful for having the pleasure to know him and that Jason had the pleasure to call him soulmate. Rest easy Angel.
I have so many good memories of Keith. Myself and some friends of mine would crash his campground when the family had a chance to get away and relax. Keith was a kind soul. He was friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor. When I think back on those days and him, all I can do is smile. You will be truly missed as you were truly loved. Live in peace my friend ❤️ Judi Hoppel
I only met Jodi twice. I served in Africa with her brother Evan (Jewel). Each time I was around her I came away saying, I would love to have spent more time with Jodi and Tim. She was “classy” like her mom (Cleo) and loved life like her dad (Gene). It was a high humbling honor to get to be with her even if it was brief. She left and impact on me and certainly a legacy for her family. My you find comfort and peace under the King’s Wings,
To my sweet cousin, in whom heaven now rejoices. Here we mourn – but you are Home at last, Jodi, and your faithful service is now rewarded. Amen and amen!
Jason, Betsy, Aretas and families, our hearts go out to you all. Craig fought a good fight to the end. He is free of any pain and suffering and is an angel above. May all your wonderful memories see you all through this difficult time. Craig may be gone, but will not be forgotten.
I am so thankful to have known Jodi and the Ziemer family. I have fond memories of her singing at church, being in Bible study with her at New Covenant PCA in Virginia Beach, playing racquet ball at the rec center, and many other activities over the years! She was an amazing example of a Godly wife and mother, and she will be greatly missed.
A friend in VA just informed us of Jodi’s passing. We knew you at McLean in the Sunday school class Hugh taught. I loved talking to Jodi about gardening and became a master gardener when we returned to CO a few years ago. Jim and I offer our condolences to all of your family.
Cindy and Jim Schaefer
I was so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I have such fond memories as a kid of visiting Mimi and Pap and spending time across the street at the Case manor😊 John was a cooler older cousin, and Kathy, the loving relationship you two had did not go unnoticed.
I pray that you will find peace in the wonderful memories of him, knowing that he was a true and faithful servant of the Lord, and that he is whole again in his heavenly home.
Too soon Lady bug…
Andrea, you never failed to make so many of us laugh and smile. I loved your sassiness, huge heart, and sweetness about you! You worked hard and I enjoyed working alongside you as everyone else did!!!!. Love you always and you will be forever in my heart. One day I will get to hug you again, until then smile down upon us because we/I need all the positive energy we/I can get!!
We are so very sorry for your sudden loss. Through the years, at different life events of Justin’s and Kyles, John and I were blessed to talk with your mom and dad. We well remember your moms beautiful smile and the warmth and joy of the Lord in her spirit. We are praying for you all as you face the days ahead without her. May you find peace and comfort knowing she is in her Father’s arms today. Much love,Cindy and John Griffin
Jodi was a treasure, and a blessing to all of us at McLean Presbyterian. May the peace of Christ which passes all understanding be a comfort to you, friends. We are lifting you up in our prayers.
Dear Tim and family,
We are so saddened to hear of Jodi’s passing. May God grant you His peace and comfort during your grieving time. Jodi was admired by all who knew her. A lovely lady inside and out. God bless all of you. Many prayers for your family.
On behalf of the Princess Anne Courthouse Volunteer Rescue Squad & Fire Department, I offer our sincere condolences to the Lee family. Keith’s many years of service were appreciated as were those of his father Chief Robert Lee.
Dear Peter,
I am so sorry that you lost your dear wife, and I am also sorry that I missed her memorial service. Had I known about it sooner, I would have been there.
You might know that I too lost my wife suddenly not long before I joined VWS, about twenty years ago. Even now there are times I pine for Ellen. So I have a good idea of the grief you are going through, and you have my heartfelt sympathy.
I’m so tempted to give you helpful advice, but I will just say that if you want to talk to me about anything, I would be happy to share my experiences.
Diana and I were shocked and extremely saddened to learn of Jodi’s passing. We have so many fond memories of our time together during our tour with Sixth Fleet. Her presence brightened any room. May she rest in peace. Sincere condolences to you and your family, Tim. Gordon and Diana
Although I’ve been away from the area for almost 10 years, I will always remember her sweet smile, love of family and her kind heart. I am truly sorry for your loss as I know this leaves a hole in your heart. Cherish those beautiful memories and lean on the as you grieve.
John, you and I worked together every working day for over 32 years.I will forever miss your support, wisdom, compassion and work ethic. You were not only a partner but a great friend as well. My sincerest sympathies to all of your family and friends.
To the family of Tommy Atkinson,
Tommy and Ricky grew up together.
Tommy supplied uniforms for Virginia Beach Little League for decades.
I was with Ricky on some occasions to be in Tommy’s store to meet him.
He is remembered as such a friendly guy with nice manners by me.
I had a card to send, so I will send it to here and hope you get it.
Had just gotten my laptop back…
Ricky met Tommy in Heaven; I am sure.
(1-09-2011)
Kathy and family, I send my condolences to you and family and was a shock when I heard the passing of Keith. In our younger years, Keith and I played together, volunteer fire and rescue, little league baseball, football and many other activities together and our families would gather for meals over the years. I truly remember and think about those times. I send my love and prayers to you and family.
Ed Godwin
It was a great pleasure to meet John and get to know him for the last 23 years. He was a fine example of the type of gentleman and person all of us should strive to be more like.
As Christians, we are asked to reflect the face of Christ. John succeeded in this where many of us fall short.
My prayers are with you and your family, Kathy. John was a wonderful man who loved you dearly. You two had a special relationship blessed by God. God bless you, my friend.
Tim and family – we were so distraught to hear of Jodi’s death. She was such a sweet, kind, lovely lady. We pray for God’s abundant strength and comfort during this difficult time.
Kathy, Christian, Alex and extended family members, Rachael and I are saddened to hear of the passing of John. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in the memories you share and help heal your hearts. God Bless
To the Case Family,
My heart is heavy for your family and I pray for comfort in this sad time. John was a great man, I thought a lot of him and also his family. He will be missed greatly.

I am so sorry for your loss, May you find peace & comfort during this difficult time..I will treasure all of my wonderful conversations & meeting Larry at NMCP he will hold a special place in my heart. Lisa Hill-Godin
Just knowing you are no longer with us makes me sad, but knowing who is joining you makes me happy. Fly high and look down on us often. I can remember when I wasn’t even a teenager you took me to Taco Bell during the summers when I visited. You always made sure I had the best time when I came to visit from North Carolina. Memories are all we have but they are great memories.
I remember meeting you like it was yesterday. You were 17 when I met you and I knew automatically we’d click, your smile lit up every room you walked in and I enjoyed every moment I got with you. I miss you Kevin! I hope all your pains gone away and your finally free <3
Emily & family- It was an honor to get to know Nancy in the 90’s. My favorite shift was when your mother and I would work together and laugh. She talked about her family and loved all of you so much. What a blessing for me to get the opportunity, even for just a few years, to be her friend. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
You have our deepest sympathy and unwavering support. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. know you have our full support in every moment.
John was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He always was smiling & seemed cheerful; rarely did I see him otherwise in 36 years. He will be missed. Kathy, Christian, Alex & family, may the happy memories and the love he had for all of you, ease your heartache at this time of loss. Love you all.
My heart breaks for everyone who had the privilege of knowing her and experiencing the love she gave to us all, she was an amazing person. I’ve known her most of my life and I’m thankful she continued to love me even with the circumstances. One of my favorite memories with her is when we went to Graceland. She was like a kid in the candy store, eyes big and she had the biggest smile for the whole trip, she had always wanted to go and I’m so thankful that we could take her. I will miss her dearly and carry her in my heart as long as I live. RIP until we see each other again, I love you Dearly!
I am so sorry to hear ofhis passing He was a great guy as I am sure you all know. I had the pleasure of working with him on the Credit Union Board for many years. He also helped me while I was working at the Sheriff’s Office with a paper for college pertaining to computers. He was my guru in that department. May your many memories help in the days ahead to keep him close to your heart.
During my career with the City of Hampton Parks and Recreation, I had the opportunity.to work with and know Bunny. He was a good heated and down to earth man. He did a lot for adult softball in our area during his life and we are grateful for his contributions. John you are a good Man, as you join your family members in heaven.
I hope the angels have a special batter’s box, just for you.
Jim Wilson
Steph, I appreciate the updates you kept me informed of with both Bruce and Jan.
Though I actually never met Bruce physically, we would have lengthy phone conver-
sations, so I felt like I had known him for years. I know Jan is ready to welcome him
home with open arms. Comfort and love to you all,
Trina
I was only in Bob’s company a few times but I found him to be an unassuming. down to earth person, someone easy to talk with. My thoughts are with Sue and the rest of Bob’s family
I did not know Bob outside of sitting behind him and his lovely wife at Galilee church. We always spoke and passed the peace and I watched his love and affection for his wife. Always smiling and happy and very warm to all around him. Peace be with his family and I will miss seeing him sitting in front of me at church. Blessings, annie alberi
Dear Sue and Family,
No words will take the sorrow filling your hearts. Know you have so many that care about you and thought so highly of Bob. He will be missed. We are here for you. -Lars & team
Always in our heart’s grandpa, never forgotten! Give grandma my love and the biggest hug ever. Watch over my family and guide them with your light ✨️ I love you.
Bruce and Jan were great neighbors in our West Neck community of Carrollton. We often walk around our neighborhood which affords us the opportunity to meet and greet our old and new neighbors and We soon discovered they had a love for flowers and dogs. Bruce always had a great smile that he offered to all who passed by their house. One individual mentioned in his obituary that was published in The Pilot that Bruce loved to cut his grass and keep a shipshape house and garden and we can attest to that. My wife, also named Jan quickly added the Brewsters to her cookie list. We were sad when Bruce told us of Jan’s passing in 2021. They will both be missed and wish the best for their families. Our deepest condolences to all!
My deepest condolences to you and your family during this time. No amount of words can express the pain that you are going through. Sending you love and prayers and hope you are able to find strength during this difficult time.
Pat and Bobby express our sympathy to Bonnie and Jeff and the Neuhofer family on the passing of Betty. We lived next door to them for many years. They were all a pleasure to be around.
Howard and Deb,
I was so sad to hear of your loss. It is comforting to know your Dad spent his last weeks at home surrounded by family. Sending my positive thoughts and sincerest condolences to you and your entire family during these difficult times.
RICHARD,
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU LOSS. WE WILL ALL MISS HER KINDNESS AND HER HUMOROUS WIT.. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE AND BE WITH HER BELOVED CHILDREN ONCE AGAIN.
To the family of Karen. Please know that Karen will be missed. Soon Karen’s hope in Jehovah’s promise of an earth that is a paradise will be realized. Free from sickness, death and suffering. I, too, look forward to that day and look forward to seeing her again, healthy and full of energy. Please take comfort in knowing that Jehovah misses her too and longs for the time he will bring her back to life. May he comfort and support you during this difficult time.
Christian and Laura, we wanted to express our condolences to you and the Case family on the passing of your father. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in your memories and in your faith.
Sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I worked with him at the Post Office and saw him many times, during the years, working on his yard, as I was delivering mail. Sorry for your loss.
I remember that Betty was kind and thoughtful. She invited me to play in her
bridge group that was a Plaser group, even though I was an inexperienced player.
She also took me to an opera performance soon after my first husband past away.
We often met at The Sunrise Cafe for Eggs Benedict.
I will miss my dear friend so very much.
I worked with Galen in the 80s at the flight detachment at Fort Eustis. He always had a serious look on his face whenever we had contact with each other. It was a challenge to try to get him to smile and occasionally he would. I was even privileged to enjoy some super bowl parties with Connie and him, but over the years drifted apart. He was a good man and I am sure he will be missed by family and friends.
Boo is going to be truly missed by many but memories of her are truly treasures. Heaven will never be the same!
You are in our hearts and prayers during this sad time and always.
Love, Aunt Betty and Uncle Steve
Connie and family,
Galen was a wonderful man. We appreciated all the time and encouragement he gave us as we lived near. Praying for you and your family during this time.
Al was a good friend of my dad‘s Ned Story my name is Kevin Story me and I’ll become close friends at poker games and just talking a lot
Rip my friend I moved out of the state, did not know Al had passed away
Karen and Judy, Paula and I offer our sincere condolemces on the passing of your mom. We hope the sadness you feel now will be replaced with happy memories of her.
Richard, may the happiness and love you and Isabelle shared give you strength at this difficult and sad time. We hope the memories of the happy times you both shared may ease the sadness you feel now..
So sorry to hear the news of your Mother’s passing. You managed the complicated care for her, so selflessly, during these last tough months. Her trial is over and may you all find joy in fond memories of the true character that she was! She was so proud of her family, as she had so much to be proud of. Sue – you were the best daughter -ever, even under unimaginable circumstances. Our thoughts are with you – Christy & Tom
My sister (Joanne Lee) was one of Lois’ closest friends, and I also knew Lois for many years. She was a wonderful person, so cheerful and funny. I loved her sense of humor, and it was always a pleasure to spend time with her. My sincere condolences go out to Lois’ family.
As a neighbor and friend of Karen and Gil’s for the last 6 years of his life, I had no idea of his many extraordinary accomplishments. I knew Gil as a kind, friendly gentleman who always had a smile and a warm greeting for me. My sincere condolences go out to Karen and to the family.
Paul and I were very saddened by Bill’s passing. Going through memory lane, we remembered many wonderful times together like Superbowl Sundays, games, Chicago dinners and all the laughter!
A fabulous man and trusted friend.
Acacia and Paul
I am broken hearted to learn of Bill’s passing. He was a wonderful mentor to me and many others. I have so many fond memories of our shared time at Northwestern. Condolences and care to Lynn and the rest of the family.
Matt will be missed. He was a very kind man who would help you in a heart beat. Always a cowboy fan and i enjoyed bowling with him over the years. Miss you Matt.
I am so sorry to hear about Bill’s unexpected death. I have many happy memories about working with Bill as a colleague at Northwestern University, and later in my tenure there, reporting to him when he rose to VPSA. Being Vice President of Student Affairs requires a full life commitment, and Bill gave it his all. I send condolences to his family and especially to his wife Lynn, whom I remember with affection and admiration.
All our love, prayers and condolences for MJ and family. MJ, I truly loved you for the incredible , amazing and phenomenal women you where …this world was better because of you, because of how you loved others so selflessly . You built something beautiful… your family…a true legacy of your existence and a gift that will continue to spread love and compassion . We love you MJ ❤️
Dear Lynn my sincere condolences to you and your family. Bill was a wonderful boss, mentor and friend. I have so many fond memories of our ODU days. May God comfort you and cover you with his peace as only he can. Sincerely, Cynthia Lewis Williams
Where do I begin there are so many I can go on and on you were perfect in my eyes I love you so much and miss you more than you know love you mommy rip
Linda, you were the kindest person I’ve known. Always thinking of others. I will so miss the caring cards, you always sent me, for even the smallest of occasions or happenings. Always the big ♥️ heart. I’m so glad I called you as soon as I got back off the mountain….. it was a great last conversation
Marcia was my very best friend. We had many enjoyable times together, along with June Russell . Saturday’s crafting, or matinee movie and then dinner. We all had so much to talk about. I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a ver intelligent, friendly and loving person.
Linda spent her life showing kindness and compassion for everyone. She will be missed but never forgotten. She is rejoicing in God’s love and being reunited with Steve and Jesse.
Sorry to hear that Bill passed unexpectedly. He was Director of the Career Center while I worked with him at ODU. Condolences to Lynn and family. Praying that God will comfort the family.
Helen and I would like to wish the whole Cull family our deepest condolences. I met Matt almost 30 years ago at Little Creek Bowling alley. Helen got to know him during the last few years at the Chesapeake bowling alley. We don’t live very far away and was able to visit a couple years ago to see his outstanding Christmas light displays in and around his house. Matt will be dearly missed and we are passing along our most heartfelt prayers to the whole Cull family…May Matt Rest in Peace.
I am so sad to hear about Bill’s passing. I always enjoyed working with him at ODU. We enjoyed a common interest in career development and planning. I also enjoyed working with Bill on the VB Democratic Party after he returned to VB. He will be missed. We are holding Lynn and Bill’s family in the light.
It is with deep sadness that my sister, Dianna O. Boden, born September 17, 1950, passed away early Thursday morning, 26 January 2023 at the age of 72.
As she wanted, she died peacefully in her home with her family and caretaker Betty Hale with her. She had spent the last few days surrounded by the love of all of us and mostly her sincere friend and sister-in-law Christine Williams.
Dianna is predeceased in death by her husband, Bruce Boden, her son, Brian Boden, her mother Disa Williams along with her brother in Iceland, Eyvi.
Dianna is survived by her father Myral (Willie) Williams, her children, Chris Seay and Lisa Boden and their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, her surviving siblings include Andy Williams, Siggi Williams (Christine), Duna Williams (Charles) and Donna Mortensen (Dave) along with many nieces and nephews along with her sister and brother in Iceland.
Dianna returned to her childhood hometown of Hampton Virginia a few years ago to be around her hometown family and friends. She had many health struggles, but she was always so creative like her mother, of course me and my younger sister, Donna, did not have their creative skills. Even as ill as she was, she was always able to produce so many beautiful crafts such as wreaths, bows, wash cloths and other things.
Dianna will always be remembered for a lot of things, but she always loved her butterflies and chickens in her kitchen and her family near and wide. She is now flying around like a butterfly with all of those that have went before her…..take care of us all Dianna and all of those that you now surround because you are a survior ….R I P our dear sister, you have always been a wonderful and good big sister to us and we will always love you !!
I just learned of Bob’s passing, one year later! I am so very sorry to hear of this. I helped Bob plan at least 10 reunions in the Hampton Roads area, he used our company for all of them. He and I would always go to lunch and have an elaborate planning session, and I thoroughly enjoyed every interaction with him. He was so kind, and always remembered me with USS Iwo Jima tokens, notebooks, calendars etc., many of which I still have and use. He gave me beautiful framed pictures of the ship, certificates of appreciation, plaques and much more. Bob was a meticulous planner, with strict attention to detail and making sure that his shipmates would have an excellent time on tours and activities. He loved his dogs, and always showed me their pictures. He was a gentle soul and one of the friendliest clients I ever worked with. I counted him as a friend, not just a client. Our lead tour guide, Nancy Baker, also had a very special relationship with Bob and also sends her heartfelt condolences.
Sincerely, Anne Phillips – former President, Phillips Destination Management Services/Discover Coastal Virginia (business closed Jan. 2021)
I love and miss you so much mom. Thank you for everything. I am truly beyond blessed that God gave me his best angel to call mom. There were so many things we still wanted to do, but I know you are watching over me. I hope you are surrounded by beautiful gardens drinking the most heavenly coffee with Bobo surrounded in love and light. Beautiful mom, forever loved, forever missed.💕
I am so desperately sad to learn Bill is no longer with us. And his ability to remain calm amid chaos helped me stay engaged in local politics. His warm memories of his time at Old Dominion University were shared by my father, Dr. Raymond H Kirby, and a comfort as Dad began failing. I was visiting Pittsburgh and had just seen the Carnegie International and the Warhol Museum the weekend before he left us. Not surprised he was from Pittsburgh.
Will Terry and Family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your wife, Will. I know how you will miss her and I pray that the Lord will comfort you as Effie is with him now.
God bless you and give you strength in this sad time.
Worked with Doug at Target from when he started there until 2018 when I left . I was always glad to see that it was Doug running the front of the store or just there as a cashier. He was always smiling and saying things to to lift me up if I was having a bad day. Condolences to his family…
I wanted to share that I have many happy memories of Marge and Jim and the many times they entertained the Kennedys and others in both Marlton and Colington Island. They were most generous with time, and food and drink, and boat rides; Jim always ready to teach us young ones something and Marge always with a laugh and a smile. My husband was Tim Kennedy, who passed away in 2019; my mother-in-law Shirley Kennedy, who passed away this Christmas. They are all together again in heaven, telling stories and making the angels laugh.
I am deeply saddened to hear that Bill passed away. I always looked at him as one of my mentors and the person I could count on for advice and guidance. But more than that he was a friend. I have so many fond memories of Bill’s time here at Northwestern. From career services and then being chosen to lead us all in the division. The moral in Student Affairs was at all-time high. There wasn’t anyone that would not go the extra mile for our students. Bill empowered us and gave us the autonomy to accomplish our dreams.
Bill loved playing with my beard, and I remember for my 20-year anniversary gift he presented me with a razor. We discussed cultural differences and similarities. Under Bill’s leadership we started Kosher food service and he enabled there to be a Jewish fraternity AEPi on campus.
The Jewish sages say:
Who is a person worthy of being honored?
One who Honors others.
Who is a person worthy of respect?
One who respects others.
Who is a person worthy of Love?
One who loves others.
This was Bill Banis
I will miss him dearly. All those that knew him will miss him dearly.
May G-d comfort Lynn, the entire family and all his friends.
My prayers and deepest sympathy are with Bill’s family. He became a friend of mine while he served in leadership with the VBDC, and what an inspiration he was to so many of us! He was truly a role model and will always be remembered for his warm smile, compassion, and determination. Well done, thy good and faithful servant, Bill. Thank you for all of your volunteer activities and your friendship!
I’m so extremely sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Fuller. He taught me 6th grade science at Blair Middle School and made an everlasting impression. It’s unlikely to remember all the teachers that taught you throughout the years, but now in my mid 30s I still remember him fondly. My prayers and well wishes are with his loved ones.
I was saddened to learn about Bill’s recent passing. He was a wonderful boss and human being for whom I had the good fortune to have worked over five years with Northwestern Career Services. He was supportive, kind, and trusted in his team – all of which my colleagues and I greatly appreciated. I wanted to share my condolences with Lynn and the rest of his family.
Dear Will, I am so sorry for your loss. Effie was a great lady, lots of fun, helpful, and a good friend. I haven’t seen her since VBCF discontinued on the Peninsula but she was a great worker for the Breast Cancer cause. God bless you. She is lovingly remembered.
I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. Isabelle was a dear woman who I felt honored to know. She was vivacious, kind and knew how she wanted to live her life. I wish that your memories will soften her passing. Meredith Rose
I enjoyed the time with Marge.. and will always remember the books we shared.
I will miss her and glad we got to know each other. She is greatly missed
Love Ruth
We just learned of Carey’s passing and are so sad to hear of it. May she assume her place in the heavens and look down upon her family and her loved ones and give them peace and the strength to enjoy the time that they have in this world. Your neighbors at the back fence
Deb & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Joan was a lovely woman. You don’t see too many like her anymore. I know that you will all miss her terribly. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Cindy Jenkins & Family
My condolences to the entire family. You have my deepest sympathy and I am praying for your comfort and peace during this difficult time. Sending lots of love your way. I’m here if you need me.
I have some fond memories of your dad.
Love you very much.
Aunt Gail
Stoney and Sandra were my neighbors in Old Nags Head Cove for many years. You could not have nicer neighbors and was so sorry when they moved. People like the both of them are very hard to find. My prayers are with their family. Anna Sadler
I am so sorry for your loss. Carey always welcomed me with open arms at work and taught me so much. I could never thank her enough for her support. I will miss her so much.
I did not know Mr. Paddyfoot, but his legacy is carried wonderfully by his son, who was instrumental in the success of both of my children. May he rest in peace, and sincere condolences to the family.
This is Fred’s daughter Dawn. When I last spoke to my father he asked me to do something for him. I need to get in touch with his wife Carolyn about what he asked me to do. Please give her my number 3364915678 thank you
Levi,
In my every thought, you live in my heart. You brought such love, joy and happiness to me for 40 years, I miss you so deeply, I have 40 years of memories to keep close to my heart when I feel the emptiness I close my eyes and see your beautiful smiling face. You had such a zest for life, so laid back and happy, no concept of time, you lived on your clock There are no words to describe how much I miss you. Love you Mom
“Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories” ~ Unknown Rest in peace Florence and thank you for so many beautiful memories & laughs.
Florence, you were one of our most favorite people in this world. We’ve missed visiting with you these past years, and hoped to get down there in the spring. We will miss calling you every week and hearing your laugh. Thank you for beautiful memories. We love you now and will forever! <3 <3
I am so sorry to hear today that Doug passed away. I went in Target today, I haven’t seen him, thinking he took some time off. I finally asked an associate. It broke my heart. I always look forward to seeing him there, either greeting customers or telling them to have a great day as they were leaving. He made such an impression on me. He was so kind and so humble, just a great human being. I will truly miss him, he will be missed by many. I will be thinking of your family. What a loss.
Mr Paddyfoot was like a 2nd father to my brother Josh and I growing up with Jamaine and Chantel in Newark, NJ back in the 80’s and 90’s. We lived one floor above them in the apartment building and he treated us like his own. He and Barbara went out of their way to include us whenever they could. It was all love. I will cherish his memory by doing things he did with us like basketball in the park on weekends, amusement parks and long walks around town. He was witty, charismatic and just a gentle giant of a human being. I’m glad I got a chance to speak to him before he transitioned. He helped shape the man I am today with my family. I know he’s smiling in heaven. Saying ahhh look at “Lewis”. 😌
Dear Peter and Family,
On behalf of the Suffolk City Treasurer’s Office, I want to extend to you our sincerest sympathy on the loss of Angie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Ronald H. Williams, City Treasurer and Staff
No words can fill the space that Carey filled in our hearts, yet her spirit lives on in song in all of us. May her family and loved ones keep the great memories of her close and find comfort in all the ways she impacted our lives.
Jeremy misses you Gigi and so does Ethan. I wish you could have stuck around to see Vivian (my little sister) and sunny (my pet snake). dad is going through troubled times and he misses you too. I love you gigi
Heaven is a bit brighter and more beautiful today with Edna there, painting and smiling and giving everyone more love. My cousin was kind, generous and creative as well as beautiful. I first met her when I was 10, visiting her and her parents in DC. I thought she was a movie star as she had those Elizabeth Taylor long curls that must have taken her mother Cassie hours. We met again in Mount Airy as adults when we celebrated Uncle Joe and Aunt Earline’s wedding anniversary at Grace Moravian Church, built by our grandfather J. A. Tesh. We went exploring together to check out his work. Edna was kind to reach out when Eric moved to CA and put us in touch. He developed a close friendship with my daughter Tracy and is now a close family connection along with Salvador. When Eric and Sal produced To Be Dali’ in LA, Edna and Fred came to help paint scenery and make sure the guys ate. I took them to Chinatown for dinner and we had so much fun together. A few years back when I turned 75, a childhood friend in NC where I was visiting, surprised me by inviting FrEdna to show up to celebrate with me. I will miss the possibility of more happy visits with Edna but will always have a smile when I remember our time together. I hope to see you soon Fred. ❤️
It was such a privilege and joy to know Edna. Jon and I enjoyed chatting with both Fred and Edna about Roanoke on many occasions. Her love for her children and devotion to Fred were unparalleled. Her impact on St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will always be remembered. We knew her only a short time, but will treasure the moments we shared.
Ann
Though we separated paths many years ago when we were teenagers, Though you deserved much better than me, I have always held a special place for you in my heart
You fought your battles well without complaint. You will be in my heart forever “Sissy”. Thank you for 25+ years of memories, love and for
being my rock. Cora
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Bobbio. He was a nice and friendly person. My condolences go out to his wife Miss Winnie and his family. May God comfort them during this sad time. He is with God now among the Angels.❤️
The heavens have a new star named Edna — she’s shining so brightly as she looks down on us. Knowing Edna was truly a blessing. She graced two book clubs and her recommendations were always “spot-on.” Her culinary skills will be missed. I treasure her penned notes which I received after my three knee surgeries and Bob’s diagnosis. It was a gift knowing Edna these past 13 years.
Stephen was my best friend from my teens until I moved from the area in 1985. We reconnected briefly in 1997 when my mother and a good friend of his were in the ICU at the same time. We never connected after that. I have fond memories of growing up and being part of Steve’s family. My condolences to all who grieve his loss as I do.
Edna was not only my sister-in-law but also my best friend. She was amazing and beautiful in so many ways. Living out of town we communicated by email often, and when we were together, it was always a memorable and happy time. I will miss her terribly. Love her forever.
You were a 2nd mother to me through my younger years. We share and celebrated our birthday together. My heart is broken and thankful for our love we shared for each other. Fly high and dance with the Angels! I love you forever and always. Tammy, Hawk and Blanton my love and prayers are with you all..,♥️
I worked in law enforcement in Norfolk and unfortunately ran into Mr. Miller on a bad day. He had a troubled life- but we took him to the hospital, and while he sobered up, we had a very nice conversation about his life growing up on a dairy farm in Butler County, PA. I remember to this day he said something very specific- ‘ You will never in your life have a better glass of milk then when the cream is still floating. Noone ever has real fresh milk these days’.
I know that’s not like a touching memory, and I didn’t ever know him personally, but he was a human being that deserved a better life and it made me extremely sad to see that not only he has passed on, but that there was no record of his family. He wasn’t a bad person. He just had problems like the rest of us and I pray he is resting in eternal peace with God.
Fred, our sincere condolences to you and your family. Edna always had a presence about her that exuded grace and kindness. Always quick with a smile and wave as well. She will be missed dearly on Ashwood Drive.
I miss you Bill. I have been thinking about you everyday. I remember my last call to you when you were on the way to the doctor for an appointment. You said you would call me back. That was the last time I heard your voice. I miss your smile, your jokes, your kindness and everything about you. You have been a dear friend for more than 40 years. Thank you for always being there for me. Tom and I will always cherish our fond memories of our times together. I hope you are resting in peace and without any pain. I know that your passing has left a hole in Lynn’s heart. Your friends, Susan and Tom Mayo
Dear Jeff, it’s been year’s since I’ve seen you. I am your second cousin. my dad, Harold Dunn. was your grandpa’s brother. I’m so sorry to have learned of your dad’s passing. Bobby, Julia, and I played together as kids in Hampton. Julia was like a sister to me. I’m searching for family and came across Bobby and Shelbys obit. if you have contact with Julia, please give her my phone/text number. 207.554.7727. love to you and your family.
WHAT A GREAT MAN… SO WELL VERSED IN SO MANY THINGS…BOB WOULD HELP ANYONE HE COULD…WORKED WITH HIM FOR MANY YEARS AT CVB. SO GLAD I VISITED HIM AT HIS HOME LAST SPRING. WE HAVE LOST ANOTHER OF THE GREATEST GENERATION. SHIPMATE YOU STAND RELIEVED, WE HAVE THE WATCH!
I been looking for my sister for many years and I think this lady Dolores D. Stiles who passed on December 26, 2021 is the sister I been looking for. Is is possible that I can get more information? I would appreciate very much if you can contact me at my email: rreyes95135@yahoo.com My sister maiden name was Dolores Diana Parra
Thank you, Rosa Teresa Parra
I did not have the pleasure of meeting Bob, but I know that he made a profound impact on the lives of my sister and brother-in-law, Kathy and Wally Damon, and their children, all of whom loved him dearly. From the stories they shared with me, it is clear that Bob was a gift to this world, and everyone he spent time with were better for it. Clear sailing, Bob, and thank you for all you were to this world!
My dearest and oldest friend, Bob Manges, was born at the VB oceanfront on March 9, 1922, in a cinderblock summer cottage with no electricity, plumbing or water, (there was a pump in the front yard,) along with older brother Clyde and younger sister Valera. He attended W.T. Cooke Elementary School and Oceana High School. On Sept.18, 1939 at the age of 17, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard and on THAT DAY was on a patrol boat and on his way to a ship called the “Modoc” in Wilmington, N.C. Later he attended military Cooks and Bakers School in Groton, Conn. and became an instructor. His pay was $21.00 per month. After WW II started, he became a Chief Petty Officer and was transferred to U.S. Navy Ship “Wakefield”. (if you Youtube “Navy ship Wakefield” you can hear Bob blow into a speaking tube, then calling men to come eat. Bob met Commander (Boxer) Jack Dempsey (Recreational Officer) and they went back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean bringing troops to war beginning with D-Day at Omaha Beach. They also brought German prisoners to Camp Ashby here in Princess Anne County. Married 69 years, Bob had his first date with future wife Nita at Allen’s Grill in Chesapeake Beach. He became a Virginia Beach Volunteer Fireman and eventually Asst. Chief with his friend Bubba Bayne. He went to work for the City of VB as an Electrical Inspector rising to Supervisor, eventually retiring at 87 years old. Yes, 87.
Dear Winnie & Bobbio Family,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. It was such an honor to share music with Doug a few years ago while I lived in Richmond. Your husband was such a light for me during that time. I am wishing you and your family peace as you navigate through this time.
Sincerely,
Marah Stefanisko
Cecile and I wish to extend our condolence to all that loved and are missing Bob.
We were fortunate to have shared many good times with Bob. He was definitely considered part of our family and was affectionately referred to by many as “Uncle Bob”. We were the beneficiaries of the love Bob extended to so many. There is so much we could say but most of you already know. We do wish to acknowledge and give our thanks to Karen and Rick for all they did for Bob and for allowing us and our entire family to be a part of it. We know Bob appreciated it and we certainly did. We will definitely miss him and always remember him.
Please accept my deepest condolences over the loss of your beloved Richard. It is my great regret not to have known him, but I have never read a more loving and moving tribute to a beautiful, gentle, and much-beloved man. He lived a very, very full life and graced so many with his presence. I am sure that he was blessed by your deep love and devoted companionship, as you so obviously were by his.
Alma Dean Cooper, and children, Dwan, Joy, Fay, Suzy and Durwood, Jr. wish to express our condolences to family and friends. Bob and Cousin Nita were a wonderful couple who enjoyed family sharing their love and humor with all. May God bring you comfort and fill your heart with peace and love as you share wonderful memories of times together!
First of all I wish the best toEric’s Family. He was a great colleague and friend. I remember him being smart funny and very genuine. I miss him. But he will always be in my mind.
Eric, I may miss your service due to travel, , but I will stop whatever I’m doing and remember you as the great person you are. Thanks for allowing me to comment.
My sincerest sympathies to Eric’s family! Although I have not spoken to him in a few years, there was a time where he was my mentor for some similar health issues we shared. His thoughts and guidance helped me through a difficult time. I will miss his laugh and smile most of all! Rest in peace Shipmate!
It is with deep remorse that we learned of the death of our neighbor, Jane. Always had a smile when she waved as she passed by. We also offer our sincere condolences to the family. You are in our prayers.
My deepest condolences to Eric’s family. Eric was such a great guy. He was funny, knowledable, and above all caring and wanted to hear what you had to say. We worked together during the Theordore Roosevelt RCOH in Newport News Shipyard as well as on the George Bush PIA planning projects. He was always a joy to be around and speak with. He will surely be missed, and I pray that God gives you comfort during this tough time.
To you all I am so sorry Eric was an amazing man . He came into Melissa’s and Ej’s life and excepted Ej as his own. Laughs strong and just an all around amazing man. It was my pleasure to have known him. I love you all big hugs and kisses. Always here for you all. ❤️
Scott I’m so lost without you. I haven’t figured out how I’m supposed to go on without you by my side. I have spent 26 years of my life with you beside me holding me up and supporting me in everything I have ever done. You was my biggest supporter the love of my life my everything. I love you so much. It’s always been you it will always be you it is just you and I my love till my last breath
The world’s greatest husband father best friend soulmate and most of the greatest man we know. We love and miss you every second of every minute of every hour baby.
So very sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. The last time I saw him was in Anchorage Alaska. He and I use to fly on the B707 at SAT (Southern Air Transport)
Tom, I will always have such fond memories of our times together in the Philippines, when you two visited us in Naples, Italy, and at your beautiful home in Virginia. I know you will miss Rochelle terribly. My heart goes out to you.
Meg (formerly Groncznack) Eisenbraun
My heart shattered when I read of Uncle Bomb’s passing. I truly loved this man with all my heart. I remember a day that he came to the pharmacy and I was stressed. from the register I heard him called “Heya Cupcake”. All the stress of my day instantly was obliterated just from those two words. He could light up my day like no other. My husband and I share condolences to all that know and shared moments, memories, and stories of this truly amazing life.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. May you be comforted with all the wonderful memories that you have created over the years. Best, Ronnie, Janna, Alana, and Audrey Orshesky
Eric was such a Great Guy! A Kind Man with such a Big Heart and Great Sense of Humor. He loved his family whole heartedly and was always there to help.

My love and condolences go out to you and your family! This breaks my heart, but I know he’s no longer in pain and in a better place. I’m always here if you need me❤️Love you,
your favorite Waffle House server Jessica
My heart and prayers go out to this family. She was a wonderful lady and will greatly be missed. James I know how it is because I lost my mom in August. It is hard but with your faith in God we will get through it. In Christ Love
I am so sorry to learn of Donna’s passing. She was a true friend when I had few. Her home was a refuge for me and I treasure the hours I spent there. My heart goes out to her family.
sorry to hear of his passing. I remember him at school as being soft spoken and quiet! Tenderhearted and talked to him a few times when he was upset! I will always remember him!
What a wonderful man. I have fond memories of staying with Thurman and Bonnie. Thurman gave my two boys their first fishing poles when they were young I am sorry for your loss but know he is in a wonderful place with Bonnie at his side.
Carol,
We learned today of Lyn’s passing. We are so sorry for you and your family. We have thought of you both often but could not find out a good phone number to contact you and knew you had moved. Lyn was a great guy!!
Take care,
Sincerely,
Vance & Stephany 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I miss talking to you, I miss your recipes, and, most of all, I miss your sense of humor. I learned from you and you’ll always be in my heart. Love you, my friend.
I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. I was good friends with David back in elementary school and we had a ton of fun together. My most vivid and favorite memory of him was on my 10th birthday when my dad offered to bring me and a friend to Limerock Raceway in western CT for the day. I invited David and when we went to pile into my dad’s old and crusty, but still very cool, MGB convertible, I thought that as the birthday boy I would be sitting up in the coveted front bucket seat. But no, my dad offered that precious perch to David, my friend and our family’s guest. I got the “back” which was nothing more than a hard plank about 6 inches wide carved out between the front seats and the trunk. It was where my father kept his wrenches. With my knees pulled up to my chin, we took off flying west on Route 44 with the top down, the late May sun and wind hitting our faces. At first I pouted and cursed my dad for sticking me in the back. But after about ten minutes of driving and watching my friend in the front seat enjoying the ride, a wide grin spread across his face, my jealousy faded as I recognized that David was experiencing a very different feeling than me – I think it was joy. Joy at the moment and the speed and sun and wind and day and being with a good friend doing something cool. And I caught his joy, which lasted long after the car ride ended. That was a really good birthday, one of my best even. I don’t remember a thing about the car races at Limerock but I will never forget that great ride with my friend David.
This was great, I have been researching for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Health Natural Centre Parkinson’s disease HERBAL FORMULA (just google it). It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing Parkinson’s completely. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
I really miss you Russell. We spent many Years talk about past memories in our lives. I just wish that I could have seen you before he passed away. I just found out about it about six months ago I l know Olivia has really missed you because she loved you as much as you loved her. We go back many many years and many many memories that I will never forget. Rest in peace you deserve it. There were times we didn’t talk for all because of situation with both of us, but we always came back as if we just picked up where we left off. It is only with out you. I hope that your brother has enjoyed the few years. Did you two were able to spend together and he got to see his mother before she passed away a few years ago.
I am so sorry to hear that you passed away even before your dad did. How’s your dad and I had talked about so many times about life how we loved it so many memories. I know you had some hard times but I do know that you and your dad loved each other very much and Olivia was so precious to both of you. I know your dad loved her more than anything that I can remember since I met your dad decades ago. I know there is love in your heart for him and for your child. we had a lot of Good times together rest in peace son
It’s with heartfelt sincerity that I offer my condolences at Steve’s passing. I pray that you find comfort in close family and friends, joyful memories, and knowing he is at peace in the loving arms of our Almighty Father.
I’m not & wasn’t ready for you to leave. I want to talk with you. So many memories; emotions. Questions. We have lost a great guy and a best friend. You knew it. I didn’t want to accept it. I know your heart. Fly high. I will always think of you. You know this. My heart goes out to all of the family. God bless. God keep him. Amen. I imagine a sweet reunion. Do good works up there babe. You are a master and your deeds will be rewarded. I’ll be seeing you. 💕.
Our love and prayers go out to Sandra’s family. May our Lord hold you close during this difficult time. Sandra and Kathleen were classmates in high school.

Aunt Tina, Claudia and Nichole, So sad to hear the news of Uncle Jonny passing so suddenly. I have such fond memories of spending time together in my childhood. Living next door to each other over the bakery shop, spending the night at your place when you lived in West Chester. I can still remember baking a cake with you. Also you making me a pair of shorts on your sewing machine when I spent the night. Apparently I didn’t come with a change of clothes. Terri often spoke of her time down in Virginia Beach fondly. It would be great to chat and reminisce sometime. Much love and prayers sent your way. Tina Marshman 610-620-4208 tmarshman61@gmail.com
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We’re here for anything you may need.
Much love,
Brian and Joanie Malley
Ron and Ashley we are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Diane and her happy self. She’s not in pain anymore. If we can do anything please let me know.
Love ya Sam & Melanie
Here to pay my respects to Rick, to his many talents and artistry, and to the incalculable contribution he made to the history and beauty of Randall Made knives.
To be sure, Rick was a world-class artist with a world-class artist’s temprement, sometimes a bit of a curmudgeon, but always a man of honor, integrity and fierce and unshakeable patriotism. You might not agree with Rick, but if he said something, you knew he meant it, and if he stated it as fact, you knew it was true. Rick was never reluctant to let you know where he stood or what he thought. If you disagreed with him a spirited but always respectful debate would follow.
Rick was very much a Renaissance man. In addition to his art, he was an accomplished musician and played guitar in a band for many years. He was an adamant supporter of our military and the men and women in uniform who serve our country.
Rick loved his wife Kim very deeply and always spoke of her lovingly, with respect and admiration. His was very proud of Garrick and Quincy, and the fact that they both chose to serve their country in the Navy.
Rick was my friend for for more than 30 years. I valued his friendship, enjoyed our frequent telephone conversations, and regret that time and distance prevented us from spending more time face to face. I am saddened by his loss, and will miss him.
Dear Hitt Family,
Our heart goes out to you all! We are so saddened by the passing of Tom. He was a long time close friend and will be sorely missed. We will surely keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Keith & Karin Hathaway
So sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to Betty, Bobby and Dorothy as well as the rest of the family. I will always cherish the memories of our families camping together every summer at Kerr Lake and the backyard parties at their house! Rest in Peace Tommy! You will be missed!!
I knew Rick for many years, first as a scrimshaw artist then as a valued friend assisting me to sell a large collection of Randall knives. It was a pleasure to know him, and we would regularly just shoot the breeze about anything and especially politics. We happened to have many common interests. Rick’s passing was almost as great a loss to me as my Father’s death. I will miss him for the the rest of my life.
I mostly remember Tommy in his role as an Owner / Project Manager of Hitt Electric. He was always the consummate professional but never without his great sense of humor. I wish to give my sincere condolences to all of his family as I am sure his passing will leave an emptiness that although will lessen with time, will never be totally filled.
It’s a fearful thing to love
what death can touch.
A fearful thing to love,
hope, dream: to be —
to be, and oh! to lose.
A thing for fools this, and
a holy thing,
a holy thing to love.
For
your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was a gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
It’s a human thing, love,
a holy thing,
to love
what death has touched.
Uncle Steve always gave you a huge hug and kiss and always said he was so glad to see you. His Joy spread to all of us in the family and we are so thankful for his amazing life! He was loved by all who knew him. God Bless you Uncle Steve!
Tho you lived a robust and full life as you touched and endeared so many of us so deeply with your warm, funny, brash, quirky, remarkable, generous, upbeat, interesting, vivacious, witty and always loving personality …it, your life, was too short for me! I miss you Bob Manges.. I will always hold you in my heart and cherish the great memories of being in your presence! Loved you mister!! See ya later!! Sending you Hugs, Linda
I love you, Bill and I miss you so much you were my everything. I will see you soon on the other side Nevaeh loves you too and so does Robert loves you and they miss you too. Love you.
This is shocking, I have only reconnected with Tommy in the last few years and I imagined more visits. Tommy and I went to Courthouse Elementary and had many great times. Dorothy, you and the entire family are in my prayers. Tommy was ONE of a Kind!
I knew Tom at The Military Aviation Museum after he had his health crisis . I enjoyed picking him up at the Tide Station on Newtown Road and taking him to the museum. I was impressed with the painful effort he made to get from his apartment in Ghent to Newtown Rd and even to carry on a conversation with his speech. And, we had wonderful conversations on the trip to the Museum. I was so amazed with his encyclopedic knowledge, I only wish I had known him when he was in good health.
Because I was a Coast Guard veteran, he kept me up to date on the travels of Hannah (Hannah banana we would say). He was so proud that she had been selected as a Chief Petty Officer.
I was planning a trip with him back to the Museum to visit his friends, unfortunately I was too late. I will miss him and his sense of humor, but believe he is at peace after the last painful years.
Scott was definitely one of the good ones.. I met him through his children Scotty & Brooke.. just seeing how happy the kids were everytime they got to see him. after a time or two of him coming to see the kids we became friends ..
Scott was one of those people that would Brighten up a room when he entered
and try to put a smile everyone’s face..I am so sorry for your loss..
just know that Scott was a really great person and we will miss him …
Glenn was a significant part of my life. Through our union, our two beautiful children were born. Our lives were separated by unfortunate circumstances. But, I will never regret our years together, or the love we shared, at that time. I thank the Lord for His presence in our lives.
He was always the sweetest and most caring person. He loved his family and friends so much. He was the best boyfriend and an amazing “adoptive/step” dad. May he rest in peace.
I will miss Jessie as a friend and neighbor.
Jessie always greeted me with a smile and a witty opinion. She was a kind and generous person. When she got her bread machine, we were the recipients of her weekly warm raisin bread. Rest in peace, my friend.
He was a beautiful soul 🤍
He would stay on the phone with me whenever I needed him to 🤍
I miss you deeply…I love you, teleport 🤍
Such a beautiful big heart 🤍
I did not know you, but Alex was my cousin. She loved tf outta you and would have done anything for you. i know she’s hurting right now. My condolences to his family and friends. I know how painful this must be. I send you all love and prayers.
Dear Tom, our sincerest condolences on the passing of your lovely wife Joanna. To have waited so long for a partner only to have your time cut short is truly unfair. Just know that she is in a better place now. May God be with you and Dylan during this difficult time. Your good friends Dave and Dawna.
Forever in our hearts and never to be forgotten. Thank you, Carol, for all of your love, support, and friendship over the years. You were a great mother-n-law, mom, Grandma and Great Grandma to me and all of my boys.
he was my brother and my mentor me and him know each other since pretty much birth and after all I’ve seen Joey go through I know deep down that the real Joey was a loving caring deep-rooted person that showed such great love and respect and I miss him dearly everyday there’s not one day I go without thinking about him and I know one day we will all meet again together and live in harmony 🕊️👼🏼😭
My deepest sympathy for Joanna’s family, she was a angel from heaven, sweet soft spoken kind, loved children especially her son she worshipped, she was always a part of our family and she will be sorely missed!
1989.
Bro-do!
Ya took off to be a roady with Mötley Crüe,Theatre of Pain Tour.
Remember how Mom was SO worried? And Dad was So pissed!
Only thing that stopped you was being underage and passport lacking.
You came back, Dad cut your hair, and you joined the Army.
You brought me home a hand grenade,a field jacket and field manual. Got stopped three times! For a god damned hand grenade! 🤣
Bro-Do,
Even Hollywood couldn’t make up the plotlines of our lives! All lies aside!
A kind and gentle voice, easy to smile and never ever complaining. She will be missed,
But will always be with us in spirit,
And through the things she loved
Tommy Hitt always brough a sense of sunshine and joy into every room. It feels like the sun has left the room. My sincerest condolences to Dorothy, Brian, Jeff and the rest of the family. Tommy was a gift to all of us.
I was very saddened to read of Ed’s passing. We had worked together at Norfolk Southern’s Labor Relations since 1988 when we all came to Norfolk. It was always a special joy to walk into Ed’s office and have a conversation about the NW and the Mechanical crafts. Ed freely shared his knowledge and he was greatly appreciated.
May God bless the family who I know will miss him.
Harold Mobley
Thinking of you all! I will miss the annual visits when Carol came to Minnesota and stayed with me, we always had a fun time. My condolences.
-Marvel Nowak
You were always the closest thing I had to a grandfather. I’m sorry how things ended. I missed you every day and will miss you forever. I love you papaw. No matter how things ended you meant more than the world to me. Rest peacefully big man.
Joseph Was always the sweetest 💕 a day won’t go by that I won’t remember the memories we had together he truly was a great person and had a sweet soul he was always was the funniest person i had ever met may if not been together but we were always better off best friends we fought but we always made things better I just wish last year I hugged you a bit tigher and we had talked longer than we did hun fly High to the heavens love xoxo -yourbuttcheese
So sorry to hear of Chong’s home-going. We shared the lanes at the Yorktown YMCA many times over the last couple of years. Happy that she is in arms of Jesus with a brand new body.
My husband and I are saddened from hearing the news of the passing of Angie. I first met her over 30 years ago. She had a beautiful and welcoming smile. Since Peter was my manager for many years, I spoke with Angie many, many times. I loved her humor, as we shared many stories. I admired her professional taste in decoration and her always beautiful personality. Our prayers are with you Peter and the girls. Angie will always have a place in our hearts. Love Ann and Willard Ricks
to you my sister I send my condolences for the loss of your lifetime partner. I was privileged to be there with you to help care for Terry in her last month . as well as help you during your health issues. love .
I’m not sure what drew me here tonight, but I couldn’t leave your page blank. You were a great friend, a great disc golf partner, and a great poker player (though some might argue that last one). I miss you. Howard we all do, you were always inappropriate but hilarious. I remember talking watches and cars with you, and shooting down 64 in the bummer with you. You were a force, depending on the moon I was never sure what kind of force, but we all loved you.

My condolences to Bill’s family. He was a special friend to me when he worked at the auto parts store. We would occasionally take our lunch break at Gibbs across the street. Those were the good old days.
I just saw the obituary for Mrs. Kinney. She was such a kind and gracious member of Bethel Baptist Church. She loved her family so much, and was so sweet to her friends at church. I pray you will be comforted by our God in the times ahead as your grieve your wife, mom, and relative.
Tom,
My deepest sympathy to you and your son. May God’s face shine upon you and comfort your hearts during this time. This quote is I believe from Queen Elizabeth “grief is the result of love”. So it is okay to grieve and hold to those loving memories.
Dear Tom,
My sincere condolences for your loss. May God help you, Dylan and all Joanna’s family and friends go throught these extremely difficult times. My thoughts are with you and yours. Your French old friend, Stephane
Jo was assistant priest at my church, Church of the Epiphany, where I was blessed to get to know her. She was comfortable in the pulpit and even more comfortable and comforting in her one-on-one ministry to parishioners. I loved her smile, her laughter, her kindness and compassion. May she Rest In Peace.
Joey, I miss you so much everyday. I just wish you were still here with us. I love you so much and know I will live the rest of my life for you and Haley. You will always be my special boy!!
Mom was going through some of her jewelry and attached is a note with one of her rings. Mom and dad spent quite a bit of time with your parents. I believe Mr Neuhofer‘s company did contract work for Canadian National Railway, where my father worked as a civil engineer. When the men were off in meetings Mrs Neuhofer and my mom would go off together exploring, shopping, etc.
I remember meeting your parents once and recall how nice they were. I had flown to Florida, where both parents were their on business and staying at a hotel in Boca Raton. Mrs Neuhofer introduced me to crème Brulé for dessert one evening. Yum! Good memories.
We are very sorry for your loss. Please accept our belated condolences.
Erek and family
I am so sorry for your loss. May your memories of Alan bring you peace and comfort. He thought the fight and he was just tired. May you rest in peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Stephanie Pazur
Alan and I worked across the parking lot from each other and we always laughed when we saw each other. Alan had such a great laugh and his disposition was always upbeat . Gone too soon is probably my first thought. However, God has gained a soulful man who will be the go to history expert in Heaven. See you down the road Alan, “Well done good and faithful servant”.
it has almost been 8 months since God called you home. Some days hurt worse than others. Sometimes it feels like you left us only yesterday and then other days it seems like it has been years. I stare at your picture’s on my wall often. I wish I could just come down and see you in the apartment. I am trying to do my best with the promise I made you! We all miss you! Love you dad!
I enjoyed knowing Jo in Newport News when she served at St George’s. She was a delightful person. She was a faithful priest and a caring friend. I will miss her and hope to be at the funeral.
My heart just sank when I heard the news of Butch’s passing. Although many years have gone by, I have such fond memories of the times we shared when the boys played soccer. We were a close knit family, and I was thankful to have so many wonderful, supportive people surrounding my children with love, kindness, and wisdom. I could see how much Butch adored the 3 of you, and I know my children could see it too. Please know that Ryan, Lindsay, and I are sending our love and holding you close in our thoughts.
A beautiful soul has entered eternal rest and peace. Karen was a model of friendship and exemplified how a friend can stick closer than a brother. I miss her already.
Thank you, Jesus, for making a way for Karen to be with you by dying on the cross in her place. There is no other god like You!
Karen – WOW what an impact you made to everyone in your life. Thank you thank you thank you for showing what a loving and caring friend, wife, mother, and grandmother you were. Thank you for always checking on everyone and keeping us all laughing. We love you
Karen, you were the best friend, that turned into family, anyone could ever ask for! You’ll be greatly missed! To Mike and the rest of the family, my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Baby yesterday was a month that you have been gone from my life but please know you are never gone from my heart or my mind. Every second of every day you are there. I will continue to live my life to make you proud and to represent the Abelquist name as that’s one of the things you taught me was to proud of who I was and your wife is and who I am. even though I have never in my life felt the pain I feel without you near it doesn’t compare to the love I felt with and from you the devotion and understanding you gave me. I am the luckiest woman in the world cause I had you to love me and the love you provided is like a love no other in this world will ever know. until we are together again my love. It’s you baby it’s always been you it will always be you.
Hello Mike, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to you and the family on the loss of Karen. She was a very kind and sweet person who would go out of her way to help others. She will be missed by me and others. I love her so much it hurts. Sondra
My beautiful long time friend who is so much more than a friend. Almost 50 years of knowing this beautiful, compassionate, caring woman. She is my hero. I always have and always will love you. I will miss you forever. My prayers for your family. I love you forever my beautiful friend.
It was a privilege and pleasure to call her our friend. A better friend no one will ever have, and her memory will live in our hearts always. R.I.P dear friend.. Love you!
Anna, our condolences. Your beautiful smile will always be with us. Thank you for your good wishes, light in the room. The pic, beauty, peace and rocky mountain high, Banff Alberta) represents you in every day. RIP, from you Canadian family.
Love and God bless.
I was in training for GTA at EVMS and got on the elevator with Kyle, both of us with our roller bags. He asked if I was a GTA, I asked if he was a MUTA. Then all I could think of to say was “Thank you for your service” which I told him didn’t seem quite right. We had a laugh over that.
Precious Karen! She had the brightest smile! Always an encourager in the Lord! A warrior!! She encouraged me in my journey with my husband James and after he passed! She always said she was there for me! I’ll see you again Karen! Blessed Assurance!!
I worked with both your parents at Chesapeake General Hospital. Sue was a excellent nurse in the OR.I also knew your aunt. I am sorry for your loss.My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Buddy, I’m so sorry for your loss. Anne was always so helpful to me when I worked at NASA. More than that she was so welcoming to me and everyone. I missed her when she retired and I am so sorry that she is no longer with us. I feel so privileged to have known her. She and her oved ones wil be in my prayrers.
So many of us at EVMS remember being the beneficiaries of Kyle’s baking skills. But beyond that, Kyle was a wonderful member of the EVMS team for so many years. We will miss him and his cheery greetings that brought smiles as he walked past our offices. On behalf of all of us, we send our deepest sympathies.
We have an EVMS jacket that Kyle ordered, and we would love to give it to one of his family members if we can.
My wife Val and I came to know Dorothy from her long friendship with my mother Sue Gwaltney. Dorothy met mom at BSF and they became best of friends. May they meet again in heaven and rejoice together over the wonder full salvation they now know all the more fully as they experience it in the presence of their Lord and Savior Jesus. Thank you Dorothy for your friendship with my mother that she so treasured!
I shall miss Karen greatly. She set an example that will continue to be an inspiration to us all. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. Wishing you peace, comfort and courage. May the outpouring of love at this time help you at this time of sorrow.
Sincerest condolences to Karen’s loved ones near and far. She left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone she encountered at LifeNet Health. It was a privilege to know and be known by such a wonderful person. May she rest in Power.
Karen was loved at LifeNet Health, and her legacy will live on. I’m so sorry for your loss. May Karen’s family and friends be comforted by the memories you made and shared together.
Auntie,
Thank you for all of the laughs, support, and memories that you gave. Its going to be strange walking in and not seeing you at work, but I know that you are no longer suffering and that you are looking down on us all. We all love you and miss you!
There are no right words to convey my sympathy for you loss. Karen was an inspiration, and the memory of her courage, compassion and kind words will be treasured by those who knew her.
Joseph, The time you’ve been gone has really been hard for all of us. We all miss you dearly. I miss you more than you would have even imagined. I miss our talks, and us telling each other “I Love You” constantly. Knowing I can no longer have these talks with you is tearing at me more than I could have even known. You will ALWAYS be in our thoughts and we will love you for eternity. You were only here a short time, but you made a huge impact! Watch over us and know I will always love you son.
It has felt like you have been gone years as we come ever close to our 32nd anniversary and the first anniversary that I am going to spend without you here with me and our family. My love, my beautiful wife, every day is a struggle and will be till the next time we meet. You will be loved and missed by all but no one on earth can miss you more than I do every single day I go on without you here by my side. Baby keep my heart safe and loved till I am able to join it and you.
Phillip
Kim and I had become close over the last year. She was such a gentle soul. I will miss her so much. She will forever be in my heart. I enjoyed spending time with her so much. We were such a great fit for friends. There is so much more to say, but no words can explain what a great person she is and how much she will be missed. My condolences to her family.
Karen was the sweetest person to work with! I’d never met her in person, but we’d speak frequently throughout the years. I remember she let out the biggest scream with excitement when she found out I was expecting. She was as excited as any of my family members. I was always happy after every conversation we had. Karen truly cared about the people in her life. Karen will be missed; I am extremely grateful for the 6 years of friendship that we shared.
Imagine that day, when time no longer stands as the enemy, neither magnifying our suffering nor delaying our satisfaction, but peace becomes a constant companion, and time becomes a friend
It was with great sadness that I learned of Kyle’s passing. He was such a kind and gentle man. I worked with Kyle at EVMS where I got to know him. My interactions with him made me realize that he was a true gentleman. I hope the family will keep all their fond memories close to their heart and smile when they think of him, as I do.
Prayers for comfort to Karen’s family and loved ones. I came to know Karen at LifeNet Health. We worked in different departments but we often sat together for lunch and I enjoyed her company, her warm smile, her easygoing nature, and our many conversations about life, work, and family. Her positive outlook, even through her trials, was a gift of hope and inspiration for me and for many others. May you be comforted by your warm and loving memories of Karen.
Aunt Jesse was the epitome of what a loving Mom is. I have fond memories of spending summer vacation at her home. She always made me feel like part of her family. She met my Mom when they worked at the bank, and I can see why they became lifelong friends. Knowing her in my youth definitely made me a kinder person. I’d be happy to make a donation in her honor to our local animal shelter ❤️
I remember Adla as very loving and generous. I am sorry to hear of her passing. She was so nice to me and I remember she took me to places when I was little and brought candy. Very sweet lady. ♥️♥️
I worked with Manuela at CLMS and was Andrews teacher. Manuela seemed to know when my middle school day was overwhelming and would manage to make me laugh with her funny stories. She was a kind lady. I was glad to have known.
I apologize for this late entry… I just moved back to Virginia from Alaska… I had the amazing good fortune to have Maryann as my clinical supervisor while I was getting my masters degree in clinical social work for Norfolk State University in the early 1990s. Maryann introduced me to psychodrama which was an amazing intervention that helped people resolve/rework difficult situations in their lives… Because of Maryann I went on to do psychodrama for about nine years with Jeanne Burger. It was an amazing education as well as a wonderful, personal healing experience. Maryann’s death is a huge loss . Rest in peace, Maryann.
Ron
Bob and I are so very sorry for your loss. Diane was such a special lady. I had so many great times with her. She was always there for her friends. We live in Florida now and I kept track of Diane on Facebook. I am so very sad that she is gone.
She was loved by those fortunate enough to know her. Growing up,we called her” Sister “, as she was the Sister of 3 boys. I helped her learn to drive, I have loving childhood memories of her and her family from growing up in the neighborhood. Love you Sister. I am blessed to have known you❤️🙏🏁
Yvonne will be missed as she was a classmate of mine in Thorpe Jr. high and Hampton High school class of 1966. She was a member of Hampton Roads Baptist Church.
My condolences to y’all.
Your Mom was my (foster) sister and the best sister at that. She came to be with my family in 1972. We we were blessed to have gotten to grow with her and to have loved her. I was always the pesky little sister and she put up with me. For many years we were apart and had no contact, then one day I saw her name on Twitter and started asking if she was my long lost sister. When she replied that she indeed was my sister it was like the best feeling in the world. We got to catching each other up and then once caught up on life it was like we had never been apart. I know GOD brought her back in my life so I could feel her love and give my love. I will miss her voice and daily/weekly text messages.
Fly with the angels sis.
Your love and kindness will continue to surround your family and friends.
Until we meet again our memories of you will be our comfort.
To Marie and the McSweeney family, please accept our deep felt condolences on Kenney’s passing. We were heartbroken when we got the news. May God continue to comfort you in these difficult times. Kenny Will certainly be missed… rest now brother in law
I served with Don on USS Blue from 1957 to 1959. Both of us were in Gunnery Department under the tutelage of Ltlg Harry Schrader later to become VADM. Enjoyed Don’s friendship. I think he and I were the last guys standing from that period. Sorry to hear of his passing.
May one of the sweetest yet strongest people I have ever known forever rest in peace. Karen, dear child of God, your pain and suffering are finally over. God needed another key angel in heaven. We will forever miss you, but so glad we were blessed to know you.
I was so sorry to see that Mrs. Riley had passed. She was a long time library patron and I always enjoyed visiting with her when she came to the library. Condolences to her family.
My Karen, this is what I always called you because you were so dear and close to me. This is very hard for me because I lost a friend that lived unconditionally. I lost a true friend but GOD was happy to receive you home. HE said that your work was over so come and enter my rest. We will see each other again when I cross over the Jordan River. I know that you are rejoicing with the Lord. Love You My Karen.

Elyse and family – my heart breaks for all of you and you have my deepest condolences. Elyse has shared so many stories of the wonderful times she shared with her dad and memories she has of music, musicals, old movies, and shows (and the backyard critters!) and what an important part of her life those times were. Every story was told with a big smile and it was easy to tell they brought her back to very happy times in her life. I never met Mr. Anderson but from all I learned through the stories Elyse shared, it’s clear he was a wonderful and loving man. Elyse – we are here for you and will support you and your family in any way needed. God Bless.
Dear Kathleen, Elyse and Jaime
I was heartbroken to hear the news of Joe’s passing. My memories of him are of a funny, thoughtful, lovely man. I was so relieved when Megan told me about you all and the wonderful family who looked after her when she was with you all. I was delighted to get to meet you all and spend some time with you during your stay in Ireland. That time has left me with very fond memories. Joe was an absolute gentleman and I cannot imagine what you must be feeling at this very sad time. Sending you, Kathleen and the girls, huge hugs from Ireland. God bless xxx
I remember the day I met Val and David.. vividly. like it was yesterday. Val always made me giggle about something. she was always nice to me. she will be missed. I remember she was telling me one time .she wanted a Denali…with the licence plate that said Vallysdenali. lol. she always had me laughing. was instantly sad to hear she had left us to go home. she left behind a lot of people that loved her… and even some that didn’t realize it.. until she was gone. 😩 she was not an easily forgotten person . her children and Dave will keep her memory alive for sure. we will miss you Val! we can all have relief in the fact that she is in no pain.. physically or mentally anymore. I kno she will be here in spirit watching over her babies… which are almost grown now.. none the less.. she will be.. I love you girl❤️ we will see you when we get there! ❤️❤️❤️GONE BUT DEFINITELY NOT FORGOTTEN❤️❤️❤️
I knew Carol for most of my schooling… she was a kind friend and talented musician… I’m sorry I wanted all these years to search for her… very sorry for you loss.
I will miss Valerie and her vivacious smile. The kindess of her heart, the love she had for her family, and friends the determination to try and do the right things. The little girl, young woman, the daughter the sister, niece, cousin, mom and friend. Memories of watching her grow up and becoming a mom herself. She will always be loved, and always be close to the hearts of those who truly loved her with memories to cherish.
Prayers and Love sent to the family she’s another special soul resting with the Lord until we met again! Never forgotten held close to our hearts!
Val was just a beautiful soul. She was whimsical and fun just like a mermaid. She had a passion for painting and drawing and was drawn to vibrant happy colors, even for her hair. She also had a big heart and was a sweetheart. You will be missed Val. Prayers for her family and friends.
Dear family,
I’m totally heartbroken to read of Tina’s passing.
I knew her at work for many years. I’m 83, she called every 2-3 months…she called me “Nurse Friday “. I gave her my dear sister’s red grocery cart and treasured our friendship. I would truly like to be in touch with a family member. My address is 119, Tipton Rd, Newport News VA 23606-3661
My Deepest condolences,
Benita St Pierre
To The Steen Family
I was so saddened to learn that Harvey had passed in 2021. I have always held Harvey and Phyllis in high regard since first meeting them in the mid 80s. My thoughts and prayers remain with Phyllis and the rest of the Steen family.
I am so sorry to hear about Tommy. We played against each other in High School as he was at FC and I was at Cox. We did play together for several years at Trant Field playing Pony and Colt. While we were not on the same teams, we hooked up for the All-Stars. He was not only an exceptional athlete, he was an exceptional person. I am proud to say I knew and played with Tommy for many years. Prayers and thoughts are with the family.
My brother, Stan, was good friends with Ray. Ray was almost like another big brother I saw him so much! One of my very favorite memories of Ray was when he was sitting in my mom and dad’s living room with headsets on listening to “When A Man Loves A Woman” by Percy Sledge. My brother was eating dinner and Ray was waiting for him to finish. I was in 3rd grade and my best friend was spending the night. Well, Ray was singing along to the record and we all had some chuckles over his NON pitch-perfect performance. RIP Ray.
Kathleen, Elyse and Jamie I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Joe. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joe made work fun when I started, un-poppable bubble gate, rose air fresher under his chair, rubber chicken in his carry on. He would put tape on the phone connection so you can pickup and chuckle from his cube. He would always fall for the fake doughnut. He figured out how to play music from his desk by conferencing our phones when we worked late. The afternoon wawa walks. He would let me not miss a Gilmore episode if he needed me to work late. He was kind, caring, fun to be around. He loved his family and would light up when he talked about them. He will be missed. I will cherish the good memories and getting to know Joe for the years I got work with him.
I worked with Joe at Amerigroup/Anthem for several years. The office was always entertaining with him, and it was nothing to have a ball thrown into our cubicles by him. He would share stories about his family putting locks on their ice cream cartons to keep him out. Because of his calm demeanor, we played so many jokes on him in the office and he reciprocated. Most days working with Joe was a day of laughter especially when some of department contributed to a set of $20 tire rims for his Ford Escort station wagon. Almost the entire department was in the parking lot laughing with him. If there was prank planned on someone in the department, we could count on Joe. When we heard that he had car accident with his daughters in the car, we were just as concerned as his family. Through all of fun, he had a compassionate side, and he would take the time to listen. He understood the issues that I was experiencing with my parents being elderly and needing additional assistance. When I was working alone in the building on a Saturday, he showed up and told me to go home because I had worked enough. Joe was a lovable person, and we will miss him dearly. He has made a tremendous impact on many lives, and he will forever be remembered. My condolences to his family but know others loved him too and he is now making the angels laugh in heaven. Prayng for all of you.
Wendy received Jesus into her heart and she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus. She is no longer in pain and the Lord has wiped away all tears from her eyes.
My Family and I were given one the greatest gifts recently, as we spent 6 days with her… beside her beside. We were all able to express our love, thankfulness and gratitude to her as she was in her final days. She listened to the old hymns that she loved and we, as well as the rest of the Family prayed with her, Sang to her and read scripture with her.
Wendy had a heart of sincere compassion and sacrificial love to all that loved and knew her.
She cared more about others than the pain and discomfort that she was in.
She was a brave warrior in the battle for her life.
She kept on fighting till the Lord Jesus called her home.
My precious and dear Wendy, we will see you again in heaven, by the grace of God.
All of love, thankfulness and gratitude for you being you. You will always hold a special place of honor and deep respect in our hearts.
Love, Kenny, Penny, Kevin and Michael

Joe was one of the first people I met when I started at Anthem. He was helpful, kind and his humor was so fun. His smile and demeanor will not be forgotten but will certainly be missed. Sincerest condolences to his family and closest friends during this difficult time.
There are no words that can express my feelings around the loss for your family and the loss a wonderful, loveable individual that was a friend to many. Joe was a very special person to me as we shared many of the same interests and immediately hit it off when I came to know him in 2005, His love for his family, faith, music and programming were evident and sources of numerous conversations. Joe was a prankster and enjoyed silly activities like a “wind-up” duck race between cubicles. He was so quick-witted that puns flew hourly as well. The thing that is most important, to remember about Joe, was his caring nature for people. He was quick to lend a helping hand when he knew it was needed. I considered Joe a true friend and will miss him immensely. You all will be in our prayers as you work through this season in life.
It was a privilege to have known you back when we were kids and you lived in Geneva Shores. You taught me how to play chess, and although I’m not very good at it, I in turn taught my grandkids to play and it’s made for some quality family time. Thanks old buddy. Rest In Peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. I worked with him for several years at Amerigroup and he was one of the smartest, caring, and funny coworkers I’ve had in my career. My condolences to your family, he will truly be missed.
Joe was such a lovely person. I worked with him at NTT DATA on the project at DC. He was such a fun person to work with and very smart. I am so sorry for your loss.
I was so sad to hear about Rosie’s passing. I was one of her close high school friends along with 5 others. We all spent lots of time driving around and having fun in her little red Toyota Celica. Rosie was always a sweet hearted person who was kind to everyone she met. I’ll always have fond memories of all the fun times we had together. I wish her family the best during this hard time
Joe always made me feel welcome. I went through a very difficult few years and he, and Kathleen, provided me the support I needed to keep going. He was witty and kind. He helped my elderly mother (try to) stay on top of computer technology. He will be greatly missed. My love to all the family.
I am sending prayers for the entire family. Joe, was a very kind and funny man. One night I was working late. new to the entire team under Jeff. Joe came and sat with me and talked. Shared stories about his amazing wife and girls. He ensured me life will get better. At the time my boys were young and i was doing it all on my own
He showed me how to use a few systems I had no clue how to use. And he was always ok with me asking questions. As time went on, he also showed me some great practical jokes to play on the team. I had no idea he was such a prankster till that time. I know this time seems unreal and it will . Hold tight to each other and remember you are very loved and he is always with you because that is the only place he loved to be.
prayers and a million hugs.
Joe was a kind soul with an infectious smile. He once saved our dinner at the beach by driving to the Outer Banks with the right cookbook so that we could make oatmeal bread. As t turned out, they were the best 2 loaves I ever made. Joe stayed to share the spoils! His loss is just unbelievable. May his spirit forever touch his family and all those who loved him.
My prayers and thoughts go our to Kathleen and the girls. Joe was one of the nicest people I ever worked with. He was a gentle, kind and happy man and I am sure he will be missed by many.
My husband who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from natural herbs centre after undergoing their Parkinson’s natural protocol. God Bless all Parkinson’s Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
Kathleen, Elyse, and Jaime,
It has been many years since Joe and I went out for hot dogs at that place on Newtown Road when we were both at Amerigroup but we always stayed in touch over those 20 plus years via FB. Joe was a dear friend, mentor, and leader to me in my short time living in VB. He was always a positive force to anyone that needed a smile or a pick me up. Joe made work fun for those that had the pleasure of knowing him. He always spoke so lovingly of the three of you. My fondest memories were of the days we would grab a few beers and take my boat out. May he rest in peace. He was a great man.
I will always remember you for your hospitality along with Loy when I attended Bible study in your home, and for the many words of wisdom you blessed me with.Rest in peace…Jean James
My dear friend Kathleen, and Elyse and Jaime – What a huge loss for all. Joe’s heart, wit and compassion shone through all of his actions. He was a devoted husband and father and a wonderful role model. I hope the loving memories will help give you stability in your grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the extended family.
Sincerely, Lynn Shippee
Joy and family, Our hearts Go out to all of you in the loss of Ernie. The Lord took him at such a young age which makes it so much more difficult. We pray you have comfort in knowing he is at peace and with all your loving memories.

Dearest Dana and family
Somehow I didn’t get to finish my message to you.
My heart breaks for all of you in your loss of Matt.
We are comforted by our God who has our new Heavenly home ready for Matt. I am sure he is playing The Bass with grandfather Buzz. His Grandmother Helen is singing in the choir with my mom Pauline and dad Richard. A place with no pain or sickness.
I love you all very much.
Cheryl Albright
This is such a shock! Ray & Joy both are such kind neighbors. We have shared many laughs on their front porch & at their 4th of July parties. Ray was a funny rock n roller that I will never forget! Joy, if I can do anything…please let me know. I’m just on the other side of you.❤️
May Joe’s quiet sense of humor and love for all never be forgotten and live forever in the hearts of all ❤️ Sending so much love to Kathleen, Elyse and Jaime
The world has lost a beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, and wonderful lady. Gone too soon, both you and Judy! You are missed dearly, but your spirit and our shared times will remain in my heart forever!! Laurice
Aunt Florence – You were one of my most beloved adult relatives as a child. I will never forget the many times I stayed with you and Uncle Howie and the wonderful memories I still have of those special times. You always made me feel like one of your own. Thank you for making me feel so loved.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jude’s passing. For many years we had brief weekly interactions when his work and mine intersected and I was always struck by his kindness and warmth. It was so very evident that he had a heart full of compassion and much love and consideration for others. He was a bright light in this world and will be greatly missed.
However brief our opportunities to interact were; I always cherished them. I can think of so many times you were there for me with compassion and understand, when you didn’t need to be. You will be so very missed.
Jude was a gentle and sweet friend. Always smiling, always generous with his time and always with a kind word. He was part of our Capital Results family and we truly loved him very much. Sending our love to those who loved him and knew him best.
I miss you so much, almost 2 months now and I still haven’t gotten used to not being able to call you everyday. I hope you’re resting easy and watching over lil one, your parents, siblings, close friends and me. Sending you all my love, hugs and kisses. I love you so much, Joseph. ~buttmunch/wifey🥺🕊️

Miss McClure was one of my favorite teachers at FC. True story: I bombed the take-home calculus midterm (she wrote on my paper something like it was the worst grade she’d ever given on that test). But I recovered and got a 5 on the AP exam.
Ssssccccooootttttttaaaaayyyyy. We have been best friends for nearly 13 years. We hit it off as soon as I we met. I miss our talks about everything and anything. 2weeks before you got sick we were making plans for you to come back to RI. I love you forever my friend. May you now rest in peace with no pain. Till we meet again
I was lucky enough to teach with Herb at Booker T. He always defined the word, ‘gentleman.’ He offered his students, both day and night school, the years of education and experience hoping they would find it the treasure he always did.
My Buddy Holly. We were the closest of friends and we both knew it. How can I express my grief over his passing? I don’t have the words. First Bobbie, then Ruth, and now Holly. Four good friends torn apart by death. Only the Lord knows why he called them home. They are happy now and free of pain. That is the only way to process this loss for the ones left behind. We are grieving-those in heaven are not. Let us all praise the wonderful lives they led and the great memories left behind.
Ms McClure was by far my favorite teacher and played a major role in me obtaining a degree in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. My wife and I also got a wedding gift from her.
I only learned of Nancy’s death today, and I’m so sorry to have missed her service. I was fortunate enough to have her as my teacher for Math Analysis and Calculus at First Colonial (Class of 1984). She did not suffer fools, but it was clear to me even then how much she loved her students and cherished the opportunity to teach them. I love it that she wrote her own obituary, too. It makes me wish I could have stayed in touch—she led a remarkable life. Blessings to her family.
I just found out about Mr. Boyce passing.
I have known Bill since 1997. He sold a home to Me on Chesapeake Ave. always helpful and caring.
I am sad I didn’t attend any service
if anyone can reach out to me so I can speak with any family.
We have fond memories of Jude and Dennis at JRDA parties, and their prize winning desserts. We have missed seeing them since they moved across the Bay. So sorry that Jude did not have more time to enjoy that new life.
Nancy taught math as only a lover of math could. I remember the blackboard drills and the portraits of mathematicians she kept on the walls. Every so often we’d get a bit of a break while she highlighted the accomplishments of one of them. She was particularly fond of Pascal. Calculus with Nancy at FC will always be a vivid and pleasant memory. Sdxdt
I started teaching part-time at TCC in 1987 – history at the Portsmouth campus and French at the Virginia Beach campus where he was my boss. I will always remember a comment I heard him make which influenced the rest of my teaching. I was sitting outside his office waiting for my final interview and another faculty member was in the office (door open) complaining that she had not received a certain appointment to a committee. The faculty member said, “But I have 20 years experience!” And I could hear Bill answer, “No, you don’t. You have one year of experience 20 times.” I didn’t know then and still don’t know the faculty member as I preferred teaching closer to home and did not want to make the long commute, but not only do I appreciate him giving me a start, but that remark always stuck with me. In teaching, every year is a new year and should bring forth new knowledge and evolving methods.
hey love so your bday has came and went and it was so hard to not have you here to be able to celebrate it with. You are never going to be forgotten I celebrate you every single day and my life will never be normal without you in it. you are the other half of me and not a day goes by that I don’t feel that emptiness of your loss. I will forever hold you in my heart mind and soul. I love you. you are my everything.
To the Filers and Tignors, Our sincere condolences in your time of grief. Starla was a wonderful woman and I know she will be sorely missed by you and the old Pembroke Meadows family. Sincerely, Mort and Susan Kenyon
So sad to read about Anna’s passing. It’s been so many years since Lorraine, Anna, Mangi and we were together. In fact I didn’t know Anna had left Denver! As a reminder my mom, Bea Weil and Lorraine Robinson were friends way back and Lorraine was with us both at Shwayder Camp and Rabbit Ears Lodge in the Colorado,ountains. It’s sad that we need to catch up whenAnna is not longer with us. We are still in Steamboat Springs . Thoughts and prayers
So very sorry to learn of Starla’s passing. She was a wonderful neighbor when we lived in Pembroke Meadows. She was always and I mean always there to help in school or in the neighborhood with anything involving her children, She always had a smile or her face, What a loss. Sympathy to the family. hugs, Nancy and Steve Schreier
Oh what a dear, dear man. I met Bill in 1976 and had the great pleasure of working with him for many years and partying with him for many more as neighbors! I loved his laugh and his joy of life.
Rest in peace my friend. Privilege to know you and work with you at Tidewater Mack.Learned a lot from you.Truly one of the smartest people I’ve ever known.
I had the privilege of caring for Bill for decades. I loved his sense of humor, persistence and his open heartedness. I will miss this unique man who taught me so very much.
Karen was a sweet and loving person. We enjoyed our many conservations hearing of her childhood, her family, her adventures with Sam and tales of Mary and Maggie growing up. Rest in Peace with Sam and our Lord and Savior.
Mike was a outstanding co-worker and supervisor. But most of all he was a great friend! He always had a big smile and was someone that was very easy to talk too. I will miss him so much.
My deepest and warmest condolences to family and friends. Bill gave me one of my first jobs after graduating from UVA. He allowed me to grow and develop while giving me the tools to explore other careers and find my purpose. Almost daily he would brainstorm ways to help countless young professionals to move forward in work and business. He groomed his staff to do this too. A goal-setter, he was kind to all, a humble man, super intelligent, and we shall miss him. May God bless his family and friends.
To Marcia’s family:
I am so sorry to learn of Marcia’s passing. I just wanted to say that I was very fond of her. Our paths crossed many times at Galilee Episcopal Church in the kitchen, in the sanctuary, and in the gift shop. She had such a great sense of humor and wit and timing and was a delight to spend time with. She was always dressed beautifully and every conversation included a reference to Stan, Dana, or Nicholas whom I did not know, but she mentioned all of her family so easily, as if I did, so I felt as if I did. I loved listening to the traces of her New England accent in her voice. My dad was from Boston so it touched a sentimental part of me. I cannot recall all the things we chatted about, but it was just how the conversations made me feel. She was always interested in me and what I had to say and she had that quick wit which made the conversation light and just lovely to be around. I heard from others that she had some health issues but she never let on….she just always looked fabulous and exuded positivity. I will miss her. She was just great and I know you all will miss her, too! May her memory be a blessing! Kim Timms
Scott, remember Scott? Hot snot cold boogs Scott, pierced his ear with a needle an’ a cork, needle him—do it do it do it—spit to make it shine, shine silver like King Street’s not, like not Saturday night, not phosphorescent, not for a second, but the second exit—and the parking lot, a lot of night (lot of Krispy Kremes), coffee black, coughing in the back seat, weed’s not rolled right seeds pop, Scott sees a folded star falling to the floor, stardrops on tarmac, pitch cold light warm woolen mittens—no not knit here—not hot mutton on a silver platter, but cold cold sheep on a paper plate.
My deepest condolences to family and friends. Georgiana never met a stranger. The love, the laughter and words of wisdom shall be cherished in all who knew her. You will be missed greatly sweetheart. Forever in my heart and prayers until we meet again.
Mike I’m gonna miss you brother. I’ve got a lot of good memories both working with you as a co worker and later working for you as my boss. You were a solid dude and hated working mondays just like me. See you on the other side brother.
I couldn’t have asked for a more loving mother-in-law. Georgia was so kind and thoughtful with everyone. There is no replacement for this mother, grandmother, nd great grandmother.
It was such a blessing for you to live with us for the past 4 years! God had a good plan for us to hang out together. You had to put up with a lot at times, but we all made it through. Being able to see your great grandson several times a week was amazing. We love you and know you are with the Lord. We will see you soon. L❤VE YOU FOREVER!! Genine, David, and Josh
I Thessalonians 4: 13-18
I miss my sister sooooo much! I owed her soooo much for taking care of me when I was little & our biological mom just left us to fend for ourselves. Janet was only 5 or 6, and Jacque was only 3 or 4 & I was 1 or 2. But Janet took on the task of being our pseudo-mom & watch after us to make sure we were all ok. I loved her for that. I don’t know how we would have ever survived without her. I miss her dearly…
For many reasons we will always remember Alex but his gift of music is what stirs our spirit and soul the most along with his infectious laugh and kind giving and sacrificial spirit. His love for others displayed in works more than words is what drew so many to his side. He will be remembered fondly and forever. We love the Rotter family. Shalom be with you. Jeff and Becki South.
I played trombone with Alex when we both were in grade school in Rotterdam. The four years of high school at Mohonasen. So many memories. Thoughts and prayers to his family….
Alex was a like a second Dad to me and I could write a book about how deeply he impacted my life. I first met him when I got a job at Center of Music. I was 17, now 45. I walk in those lessons of life he gave me, to this very day, and still share stories about him with everyone. He helped me learn to teach music, do street and prison ministry, and he even paid for my initial piano tuning certification. But most of all his example of serving others and helping me walk with Jesus left the greatest impact. I am eternally indebted to him and look forward to thanking him in person again one day! Love you Alex!
Daniel Achten
What a beautiful tribute to a great man! Our lives will never be the same without Uncle Alex. He brought so much joy to everyone. His smile and laugh were contagious! So many of my memories of Uncle Alex include music. I can still hear him singing, playing, and teaching music. A definite highlight of his life was when he owned Music Central. He was so happy to share his love of music, but his true passion was for God and ministering to others. I will always remember my summers in VA with the family. The Rotter home was my second home and I am grateful for the love Uncle Alex showed me. We had so many deep discussions about life and God. I was honored to have him sing at my wedding. I will keep all the memories of him alive in my heart. Until we meet again Uncle Alex…I will continue to hold on to the “one thing”…I love you.
Alex was great friend, advisor, teacher. Great guy to work with. The music world won’t be the same without him. Maybe he and Gordon Lightfoot can create some new folk songs. Gonna miss you.
Alex’s teaching the keyboard has given me a world of enjoyment as well as a creative outlet to enjoy and share with others.
Alex was an exceptional person! He was generous with his time, expertise, and support to help all his students to excel! He was a patient man!
I also looked forward to the Zoom keyboard sessions he hosted monthly with all of the students from the Organ Outlet.
He will be missed, but his legacy to help others pursue their dreams be always be remembered,
Alex was a joy to be with as well as an accomplished musician who shared his talent to help others enjoy the love of music.
Alex!s talent to bring out the best in all his students was exceptional!
He made all of his students feel special and deserved his undivided attention!
And he gave that to us! 100%
We appreciated his devotion to each and everyone of us!
It is because of him that we share the love of music!
He will be fondly remembered!
So sorry to hear about Dr. Bankes’ passing. I took some of his classes at CNC while I was there. He was a very knowledgeable instructor and I enjoyed his class. Also to his family and especially his son Ben…very sorry for your loss. I was in classes with Ben as early as Hilton Elementary School (I was Cindy Greene then). Prayers for peace and comfort for your family during this difficult time.
I saw Rob again after many, many years at our 50th Granby HS reunion in October, 2022. We chatted and laughed, and it was good to see him. I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Jeanne, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. You are often in our thoughts, every time we hear great violin or attend the symphony. Your ex-students Katy French and Amanda Roberts still get together and play. We will never forget your great kindness and influence. Asking God to send you and your daughter comfort and peace. OXOX
So incredibly sorry to hear of Rob’s passing. For several years he was an integral part of the band Soul Intent and that is how we met. I’m very grateful to have shared the stage with this incredibly talented man. You are missed, Rob. Prayers are lifted for Rob and his family.
This is Judy Smith and I was one of Alex students. I am just receiving this…. Please know that you indeed have my Condolence. I was in total shock when I saw this. Around the same time my husband and I loss our last daughter and I hadn’t been on the computer very much. So that might be how I missed it. Know that your husband encouraged me to not give up on the key board when I had someone discouraging me to give up
. He told me that he could see that I love it. So I kept working at it. Thank you for sharing your husband with us. He was indeed a jewel and we will indeed miss and remember him. Judy C. Smith
We just recontact each other 6 months ago. We used to call each other Luigi because of our love for Italian food. We worked together in the 1970s and did ministry in the hospitals, VA, and the streets of Newport News. We had some great times and memories together when we were young.
A zealous evangelist, Alex got the men of St. Kateri Tekakwitha in Tabb, VA, to start the That Man Is You program five years ago. We have met every Saturday for breakfast, an enlightening video and discussion. We even extended our meetings to include summer sessions as the men so loved getting together and sharing our faith. We can attest to the way TMIY has touched each of us and I join the group in saying, “Thanks Alex!”
Karen was my dear friend and she will greatly missed. Her kind and wise words , her wonderful example as a wife, mother, nurse and friend helped me often throughout our nearly 30 year relationship. Rest in peace dear friend.
Caitlin was such an inspiration and a bright star. I am so sorry for your loss. Much love to her family. I am sure her strength was so much enriched by your love and support.
Homer I send my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Praying for you from Georgia. Ruby C. Mathis-Mixon 201 Jackson Rd Milledgeville Ga 31061, would love to hear from y’all. 478-233-1917
I love you so much. I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life. I promise to honor your memory and hold you close to my heart forever. My sister, twin, and best friend. I will do as you asked of me.. and live my life to the fullest with Ray. I am so proud of you. You are so brave. Even in your final days you kept a smile on your face and a positive attitude. You made the best decision for yourself and I am so glad you are no longer suffering. Rest in peace sweet girl. We will be together again. ❤👭
My deep condolences are with Dennis during this difficult time. I only met Jude through the small screen, but I know he was a loving, thoughtful man and that he was greatly admired and loved by all who knew him. I am sure that Jude’s spirit of love and kindness will continue through the many people that he loved and served so well. I am keeping Dennis and Jude and their family in my prayers.
Mike was just a straight up good person. I can’t think of one person that didn’t like him. He will always be missed in the 046 Electrical Department of NN shipbuilding, where he always felt like family. If the immediate family needs anything at all, his secondary family and 046 buddy’s are just a call away
Jeanne and Juliana, The loss of such a gentle, talented and kind man will be great for you, but with the help of family, friends, and God you will be able to get through it. I know Mr. DeDominick from attending GSA Jazz concerts. I don’t know if I ever spoke to him, but I could tell he was loved by all.
My deepest sympathy to Caitlin’s family, I”m one of the nurses from Dr. Ellis’s office ;Caitlin holds such a special place in my heart I always looked forward to our chats when she was in the office, Rest Now, Sincerely Stephanie
Caitlin was a beautiful child and a courageous young lady. We will miss her also.
With deepest sympathy to all her family.
Blessings, Darden and Jackie
Rob and I started on cornet together in 6th grade and played together all through school. We also played and wrote arrangements together in the Virginia Squires Esquire band starting our pro careers at 15 years old. We would discover and listen to record “sides” trying to musically figure out how they did what they did and we ventured out to catch live concerts of Les Brown, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, and some great local jazz combos. We often grabbed our horns and went down to the beach at Ocean View to play into the incoming waves and feeling the music was embedded into our ways of playing. Rob’s mom, Helen, often added me into her Pontiac firebird 400 convertible to give me a partial back seat lift home while Rob sat in the front passenger seat reaching his own foot across to step on her gas pedal revving the motor. I moved from Tidewater after our Granby high school years, but Rob and I stayed in touch throughout our lives. Our souls were never far apart and our reunions felt seamless like the jazz lines we loved.
Rob and I were stationed together in the Navy at Great Lakes. He was such a great trumpet player and musician and great friend. I have so many memories of our time together there. Lot’s of great music and wonderful gigs. Off duty many of us hung out together normally at one of our homes. Rob and a few of us used to make trips into Chicago to shop at some of the Brass companies and would stop at tinder box to check out some pipe tobacco and get what we called a pipe clinic from the older guy who worked there. Was great fun. I have so many memories and stories of those years and with Rob. I want to send my condolences, thoughts and prayers to all of Rob’s family and friends. Heaven just got another great Trumpet player. Fair Winds and Following Seas shipmate. See you on the other side!!🎺❤️

Danny and I were shocked and so very saddened by dear Caitlin’s passing. Please accept our deepest condolences.
Bonnie Sears is a dear friend and she raised Caitlin and her twin Adriane lovingly since they were precious babies. I watched them grow and thrive and turn into confident, lovely, talented, thoughtful, sweet young ladies. They were also strong and upstanding as well. Caitlin and Adriane were the kind of girls you would want watching your kids or grandparents.
I can’t imagine the pain of losing a person like Caitlin. She touched so many people with her music and her kindness. Just a few weeks ago we were crafting with Bonnie and she taught me how to make a paper purse. It was so fun being around her. She made me laugh with her observations of the world.
There are so many memories with the families that I hope you share them and bring comfort to one another.
She was taken too soon. Our angel got her wings. Rest in peace dear heart.
This song always brings me comfort and I hope it brings you comfort too:
I just visited with Mr. Coleman 03-31-2023 and had a wonderful visit. He was such a character and told it like it is. My condolences to his family and friends. May you find peace during this difficult time.
My condolences!! Coach Ludwig was a great man and I had the privilege of playing for him for 4 years at Green Run. Yes, we didn’t win a game but what’s more important are the lessons he taught me, that I utilize today and with my own children/young athletes. You will be missed Coach.
Dear Roy,
Unfortunately, Cynthia and I never had the chance to spend more time and get to know you better but we do remember so well that wonderful dinner you and Quinn prepared for us when we visited Williamsburg on our honeymoon in 1984.
Rest in peace and know that you were loved by many, including those of us who had the pleasure of knowing you if only for a short while.
You were one of my best friends, we had grown very close over the years and it still doesn’t feel real or fair you’re gone. You felt like a little sister to me in many ways. I will miss your sense of humor and late night text conversations.
I am very saddened to hear this news. I was in Herr Bland’s class at Bayside High. He was the absolute best. My prayers are with his family and friends at this time.
My most heartfelt condolences to the Chambers/Carter families. His greatest pride was his kids and his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Steve loved with his whole heart!! Everyone he came across was a friend and if you were lucky enough to be called “chosen family” , you were beyond blessed!! He will be missed by so many!!! Love you Steve!! fly high!!
coach always believed in me. I will always feel a certain type of way when I think about coach. A great coach, but a better person!!!!! condolences to the family….#2 Kempsville 94-97
Thinking of you both. Wishing for you strength, courage, and calm. Hoping for you that the pain of this time will give way to good memories that bring a smile. When the only way through it is through it – we do it.
Pat and family, you have my deepest sympathy. I taught with you, Jack and Paula Abbott at what was then known as Truitt Jr. High School in Chesapeake. I recall that at that time, Bo was playing football at my alma mater, Norfolk State College (now University). My name at that time was Muriel Perkins, and I was Nancy Moore’s student teacher before I was hired as a full- time teacher there. I do recall your excitement about Bo’s experience as a college football player! Again, you and your family have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and your daughters’ father.
Taught with Bo and later coached at IJHS. Bo was a wonderful person to know and work with. He was so helpful when I became a coach
Condolences and prayers to his wife and family.
I am so sorry to hear of Caitlin’s passing. She had the biggest heart and was one of the most caring people I have ever met. May she rest in peace and sing in Heaven.
To the Family of Art We will always remember Art for his dancing and smiling with the music and always sitting outside enjoying the Sunshine. God bless you in this time of sorrow and gladness that he is now really enjoying the sunshine and music God Bless and Love to all left to cherish these memories
Deanna is a once in a lifetime force…I traveled alone till we met, then I had a little sister, big sister and mother all at once…my life is better having her in it…forever changed for the better…Love you Whisper
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Ernie. I have not seen or spoke to him in 25+ years, but I was stationed with him at ACU-4. I remember him as a kind, funny, caring individual. My condolences to his family.
My deepest sympathy to Joe’s family and friends. I worked with Joe at NASA off and on for many years, and he will be greatly missed for his sense of humor and general good sense. He made substantial contributions to the science and technical world, but he also made our world and work a better place.
My deepest condolences Kelly, Joseph, Audrey, and Joe’s dear family. It was a great joy and honor to have worked, learned from, and laughed with Joe over a number of years. He is a prince among men … and esteemed colleague and friend. Please know of my continued prayers for Joe, you, and his many friends in the NASA family. Blessed be God for the singular blessing of Joe’s life.
Jerry Welch
I consider myself so lucky to have worked with Joe and have him as a friend and coworker. My life has been blessed by him friendship. I will truly miss our conversations. My condolences go out to Joe’s family and friends.
Deepest condolences to the family on their loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I had the privilege of working with Joe over almost past two decades in various capacities. He was a great colleague to work with, a good friend, and we will miss him. A big loss for NASA, and CFD community in particular.
Our hearts and prayers are with the family at this time. I knew Joe at NASA since the early 90s when we shared space in a tiny trailer behind the old 1192 building. He was always extremely pleasant to be around and I consider him a valuable mentor as a fellow Hokie aero alum. He made substantial contributions over the years and always had tremendous insight into tough problems. I’m sitting in his old branch head office as I type this, and having so many fond memories of great times together – thanks for everything Joe!
Deepest condolences to Kelly and the family. Alma and I are still reeling from this loss. I keep finding myself wanting Joe’s opinion, only to remember he is no longer there to share it. Joe was always there to help, to solve problems, and to look for a better way. His humor made work fun. Alma and I will always treasure our last chance to travel with Joe and Kelly in Stockholm last September. He did as much as he could for as long as possible – a life well-lived. Thank you, my friend, for all you have given us.
I have known Joe for over 20 years. Joe was my task monitor for over 10 years, for my task supporting High Performance Computing at NASA LaRC. I consider Joe a colleague, mentor and friend. He worked passionately to help create and support the HPC presence at LaRC. Joe was a man or many interests and talents. He always had more ideas and projects in mind than hours in the day! Additionally, Joe was also a great person – who cared about people and encouraged them to be their best. I will miss Joe’s enthusiasm and warm personality. The NASA community has lost a great man!
Kelly and family, I am saddened to learn of Joe’s passing. Joe was a wonderful person and always willing to help in any way he could. So many memories from our school days and times past. May you find peace and comfort in the memories that you shared. Peace be with you.
So incredibly sorry for your loss. While my experience with Joe was brief, it was obvious very quickly that he had an enormous wealth of knowledge and experience that was very well respected amongst his peers. Truly a loss for his community in VA as well as his NASA family.
So sorry to hear about Joe. I never worked with him on an official project, but worked with him on many side projects over the years, to keep the wheels of CFD turning in one way or another. I think that is representative of his contributions to NASA, big and small, and the many ways he helped the rest of us. He was a really good guy with a kind heart and I will miss him.
Working at another center (Glenn) in Cleveland, I first learned of Joe’s early work in computational fluid dynamics by reading his papers; so before ever meeting him, I had high respect for Joe because of the difficult problems he worked on and the technical contributions he made – in the area of turbulent flow predictions. After meeting Joe when he moved into more technical leadership roles, I was impressed and inspired by his influence on others to achieve excellence, ability to grasp the details of a very broad range of technical topics, and his excellent long-term vision. Joe was a tremendous asset to NASA, and his influence will live on. My condolences to his family.
it’s been a long time buddy. I just found out of your passing and I just wanted to say we had some great times together that his lasted me a lifetime. rest in peace Wade
I’m deeply sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. My sincere condolences to his family. He was intelligent, supportive, and so nice to me. I liked his sense of humor. I never forget his kindness and great help during my tough time, without which I wouldn’t have been here. Thank you, Joe.
My deepest condolences to the Morrison family. The loss of Joe is heartbreaking. I only met him about six years ago now, and I can tell you that I didn’t have enough time with him. Joe and I could talk for hours through wandering conversations, a couple of times sharing our Taco Bell lunches in his office. Joe was genuinely supportive of women in a male-dominated environment and supported me and others tremendously. I always appreciated that he didn’t just give lip service, but acted on his beliefs. He was opinionated and challenging, at times – a trait I learned to love and loath at the same time because often he was right but it meant I had to go back and do more work. In his obituary, his uncanny ability to navigate was mentioned. I remember going to San Francisco with Joe a couple of years ago for a work trip. I had not seen many parts of San Francisco, since I’m usually in and out quickly to get back home to my family. We did have one evening free though. Joe volunteered to show me around. He drove all around San Francisco, showing me the sights, narrating along the way, without ever consulting a navigation device. I never told him this, but that was super impressive to this millennial. I’ll always remember his kindness on that evening – and many other encounters since then. I wasn’t done getting advice and learning from Joe’s wisdom and, frankly just enjoying his sense of humor and the comfort of his company. I’m extremely saddened that Joe’s life didn’t last as long as we all hoped, but grateful that I got to know him. I can’t imagine what you (his family) are feeling, but I hope, eventually, that the comfort you get from the memories overcomes the feelings of grief. I’ll continue to keep you in my thoughts. Sincerely, Vanessa
We will miss your Dad. He was a true friend and for all his gruffness had the biggest heart. He loved all of his family and was proud of all of you.
I will miss his stories and his friendship.
My Dear Ernie, It’s been almost one year since you’ve passed. I miss you so much each and every day. I feel your presence always and know you’re guiding me in every step. love always, your wife Baby
We were deeply sadden to just learn of Jane’s passing. She was a great neighbor ..always checked in on my parents (Bob & Connie Prosser). She was the perfect example of “Southern Hospitality”….delivering baked goods & vegetables from her garden and always with a smile. We need more people in the world like her. She truly will be missed. Rest in Peace….. Jane.
We are very saddened by the untimely passing of Joe. We worked with him at NASA and appreciated his deep expertise & contributions in modeling & simulation, and open and passionate discussions. May his soul Rest in Peace. With deep condolences to Joe’s family.
Dear Rotter family,
May the Lord’s comfort and tender mercies rest on you now and in the days to come. May his presence with you be undeniable. Keeping you in prayer.
With love, Bill and Bev Snyder
I had known Joe as a colleague, branch chief and as a neighbor for over 20 years, and I am really saddened to learn about his passing. Joe was an extremely smart person and willing to freely share his knowledge with his co-workers. I definitely enjoyed many long technical discussions with him on various topics. He was a wonderful person who was always ready to help others and will be greatly missed by everyone who came in contact with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kelly and family and may God give them strength to cope up with Joe’s loss.
Being new to NASA Aeronautics in 2022 and working out of NASA Glenn, my time working for Joe was all too brief. In that time, however, I found myself in meetings listening intently to everything he said. I felt like I could listen to him for hours! I was also thankful for his patience last summer when he took the time to help teach me about an important part of my new role in the TTT Project. Truly a good person…and a great pleasure to get to know and work for him!
It was an honor and a privilege to work with Joe for the last 5 years of my career at LaRC. He was an amazing person: passionate, intelligent, and caring. He will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers for Kelly and the rest of the family during this difficult time. The NASA family is here for you always.
Please, let me express my deepest condolences. I have been privileged to work with Joe in the international AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop since 2003 and recently in a NATO STO AVT group. I have greatly appreciated his knowledge, suggestions, analysis and especially his support in every way.

On this Memorial Day you have been on my mind and I wanted too take the moment to send you a message and tell ya how much I miss you bud. Thanks for the memories and the random road trips, laughs and ballgames we went too while we both worked in Maine and Virginia. You are missed brother!
Kelly and family, please accept my condolences at the loss of Joe! The memorial service was beautiful, and glorified Christ and shed insights into Joe’s heart beyond the workplace, and your family’s love of him. I worked with Joe on and off for the last 10 years, and appreciated his ability to challenge groupthink and to lead by example in doing what was right. His presence is missed in NASA, and I am thankful for his service to his country and the reflection of your family’s love he gave to us. I pray the Lord will carry you with His love and peace and strength in your loss, Dan Williams
Morrison family, my deepest condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of working with Joe for several years on the TTT Project. His contributions and insight made those around him better at their jobs and the project and NASA better as a whole. And he did all this while making us laugh at the same time. Joe will be greatly missed by his NASA family.
My condolences to George’s family. I am so thankful to have worked with and known George. He was a mentoring figure in my professional life at North Fork , professionally and personally . He gave great confidence. When he spoke I learned . Everyone had great respect for this humble and lovable sailor. He never led astray. He was a compass. My family and I are forever grateful. Sail on, George,. We know your getting that boat ready.. Prayers to you all.
Dear Lynn & family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob will be remembered dearly and as one of the best neighbors we have had the pleasure of knowing. Much love Walt & Moe
I am so sorry and saddened to hear about Joe. He was a wonderful colleague, collaborator, supervisor and friend and will miss him terribly. My condolences to you and all who knew and love him.
Sylvia, you will be missed so much. RIP 🙏 and I will see you soon. I’m gonna miss our trash talking, I really loved how you never held back. Your strength was always shining through, thank you for showing us all how to stare down adversity and always come out on the other side shining like new money. You will be missed but your strength will shine through on all of us whom you have touched over the years. Love ❤️ you so much girl.
Though your heart must hold sorrow at the loss of the loved one, may it also hold the blessings of the life you shared and the love that will forever be a part of you.
Sarah and family. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister, mother, daughter, aunt, wife and friend. Sarah you spoke of her often and I felt that I knew her. Peace and love be with you during this time.
I am deeply saddened by Mr. Champion’s passing. Even in just the few mornings I had the privilege of seeing him, I could tell he was a kind, strong, intelligent, wonderful man. He will be missed and thought of often. Rest In Peace, Sir.
Doc was a wonderful person and will absolutely be missed. My condolences to all his friends and family. I will forever cherish our gardening conversations.
What a beautiful retelling of Mom’s life. She truly was a ray of sunshine beaming out Christ’s love to all. Praying for comfort for family and friends. ❤️
I’m so so sorry for your lost Chris , I can’t imagine how hard is for you to loss your husband and partner. Sorry sister 🥺I ‘m also missing my brother-in law always smiling.
My prayers and deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved family member and friend. I will forever be grateful for her kindness and selfless care of my son when he was a baby.
Pat,
Carol and I send our condolences on your loss. Bo was a great man in many ways and a blessing to us all. I learned much from him as we shared a few challenges together at FPC. His kindness and patience were tried on several occasions as were mine, but we shared notes and I like to think God worked through us to accomplish his will. We will miss him, but we rest assured we will see him again. May God bless you with His peace and comfort.
Most sincerely,
Rich Engel
My condolences to the family and friends of Allan Valdez.
Junior High and High School were fun years with Allan and his brothers. Mr. Dimples always got away with murder. He always looked so innocent when he smiled. I will never forget our Texas trip w/my family and his. Allan had a way about him w/everybody. He was everybody’s friend. I never knew Allan to have any enemies. He always had a way with the girls. I could never keep up with who Allan was going steady with though I also don’t think Allan could keep up either. Whose Allan going with this week? Ahh…..Ahh…Ahh…I don’t know? With those dimples he could charm a snake. I do believe the only person he could not pull the wool over with was his mother. Quote from the book “THE HELP” “YOU IS KIND, YOU IS SMART, AND YOU IS IMPORTANT” Allan’s vibe and persona radiated this to others. Allan….you will be sorely missed. Have fun playing with the angels as you walk up the staircase of heaven.
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
Rest in Peace my friend ……Rest in Peace Love Alma
Renny our son, we are so sorry we could not be in attendance for Sylvia’s Memorial due to illness and circumstances beyond our control. Sylvia was a light to us and she is missed so much already! We have had such good times, the cruises we all took I can just see and hear her laughter as I write.
She fought the good fight and we will forever love her.
Renny, you know how we love you so much and will be here when you need us! Mom & Dad
Thinking of the family, Surrounding you with love & hugs from a distance. You’re in our thoughts & prayers. May you find comfort in one another & cherish the memories ❤️

I have soo many great memories with Kathy, she was like a second mom to me all through my childhood. She had the biggest heart, kind, witty, always willing to help others. Her faith was Strong and she did not hide her love for Christ and her family. She will be missed but I smile knowing she is dancing in heaven right now and probably having a cup of tea with Nana. Praying for the Powell/Hoggard family, love you all!!
I first met Kathy at church i think 1988, then someone recommended my husband to help with their car that day was the beginning of a great friendship! her and her mom where my tea buddies almost everyday, I have blessed memories of our friendship, we got each other through some hard time and blessed with good time. I send hugs to you all, please know you are all in our prayers 💓
The news comes as a great shock to me. Joe chaired a NATO STO AVT group and I had the privilege to work with him. I remember him as highly friendly and attentive person and it was always a pleasure to see him on a conference. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Andreas Krumbein, DLR (German Aeropsace Center), Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology
Please accept my deepest sympathy for Joe. I have known Joe for over 30 years, since my early career days at NASA, and always found him to be one of the most thoughtful, perceptive and friendly people I have ever met. His presence was always inspiring and he will be missed but never forgotten.
Papa…the man, the myth, the legend!
There are so many memories! From camping, traveling the East Coast, hanging out in the back of your trucks, fishing / crabbing, Russian embroidery, beer can airplanes, card games, coming to support me as well as my kids at school events, polka dancing, Alligator races, dinners at the Roma Lodge, all the trips to Busch Gardens & Kings Dominion, Orlowski chicken, being our chauffeur at our wedding….the list just goes on & on. You were always thinking of others and always looking for ways to give back. From serving dinners to the homeless at the oceanfront, to volunteering at Social Services during the holiday season, to helping with maintenance activities at your favorite local campground, and to helping out around the church with whatever was needed. You were always thinking of others. You made a lasting impact on so many lives. You will be missed, but never forgotten. I love you ❤️
Scott Junkins,
I was so sad to hear the news that you moved on to heaven so soon – Thank you so much for our friendship and all you taught me at work in Rhode Island.
My condolences to the Family & Friends. Mrs. Hoffman was a wonderful lady and second Mom to me when I was growing up. We shared many great times I could never forget. Rest in peace.
Condolences to the family! Ann, John, Caleb and Haley have been our neighbors for many years. on several occasions Betty had to step in and help out with our kids too. She was a sweetheart!
Carolyn I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. Dr Nesius was the best teacher there ever was not to mention one of the kindest ❤️ He will be missed.
May God’s peace be with you in the days to come. I know you had such a wonderful relationship with your mother and hope that your faith sustains you through this transition. J and I will not be able to make the service due to work travel, but know that you will be in our prayers.
Paul and Vincent Sorry for your loss. Your father was a good man who thought of others before himself many good memories of when your mother and father camping in Florida near my Fathers house when I was there they were very outgoing to my family we have many good memories and they will be missed. Sincerely cousin John and Maria.
Tim and Becky Pate send our love and prayers to the entire family. Keith was an exceptionally creative person. He was always kind and generous to all he met. May God give the Best family peace and a deep understanding of God’s presence and unfailing love. We love all of you.
Ann, thank you for sharing a little bit about your mom’s life. It is easy to see you carry so many of her divine virtues. You are a beautiful light to this world. I pray you are comforted by the loving memories you’ve shared until you see her again. xo
Your light will forever shine as part of this world. I am sure you are enjoying the many gray kitties as you rest in eternal peace. Friend, you are missed.
Sending love and condolences to Betty’s family and friends. Betty was such a wonderful person to be around. So quick with a laugh, a great conversationalist as well as a wonderful listener. She welcomed us, Cathy’s friends, as if we were her own children. She fed us the most amazing meals, a gift her daughter Cathy has inherited, and to this day her Alaskan King Crab legs and baked potato dinner is one of my all time favorites. There was never a dull moment when she was around, and she just made everyone feel good about themselves. You could talk to her about anything and no matter the seriousness of the subject, we always ended up laughing. She will truly be missed. I am so glad I was able to know her and spend such wonderful times with her.
Orlowski Family,
I had many wonderful, fun filled times with both Tom and Joan. Singing Italian songs and drinking red wine at the Roma lodge hoping we didn’t burn the chicken for the picnic. I miss them both but have a smile for the lasting memories he left us.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Keith Best. He will always be remembered as part of our church family at haygood United Methodist Church. He was an excellent musician and choir director. May the Lord bless you and keep you all in his care. In Christian love, Hazel and Norman Parron
Nancy was my sister in law for a very few years and nobody could have been sweeter. i enjoyed little Sherri, Brian and Scott. and finally Emily before I was no longer part of the family. Such lovely people. I’m so glad to have known her.
I don’t know what made me Google John today. But I did only to find that he passed away a few months after my Joe died. I remember John fondly and my heart goes out to his wife and daughter. It saddens me greatly to know you are soldiering on without John. I wish I possessed better words, but I hope each day you find some solace.
Liz was a beautiful woman, she embodied the spirit and beauty of Christ. Her smile lit up every room she entered and her kind words will always be remembered.
Sending my condolences to the family.
I remember our calls to Barbara, from our bible study group. She was a gem! Enjoyed every call we were able to make to her.
Rest with our LORD!!🙏🏼🌹
Barbara lived a full life! Now her reward is living eternally in God’s House, thanks to her relationship with Jesus! May your grief be lined with joy because of the Good News!
Dear Mom,
I hope you are settled in your new home and I hope every room is purple. I know you’re happy and pain free and that comforts me. I’ll miss you every day until I see you again. I love you to infinity and beyond.
Your daughter,
Sue
My condelences to you and your family Sue. I remember your mom always doing crafts, making jokes, and her smile. So glad she is no longer in pain. Love and hugs.
My sincere sympathy to Barbara’s family. I’m so sorry for your loss.
We were neighbors & friends. We enjoyed many fun times together…a vacation in Lancaster PA or playing games at Shelby’s house. Many great memories
I have many good memories of Mike from our Monday morning analyst meetings at NASA. He would recount his latest adventures in the local bike races or in customizing a truck, and then we would argue about whether the test acceleration history should be shown in red and the simulation acceleration history in black, or vice versa.
I was lucky enough to meet Bill on vacation in Virginia. On that one visit he proved to be a loving and kind man. He will be very missed. My love and prayers to Glenda (bonus mom) Deb and Lexi.
Gloria, Doug, and Halle, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. Please know that we are thinking of you as you mourn the loss of two parents and two grandparents. 💔
Ms. Barbara was our neighbor for the past 9 years. She was so spunky and always made me laugh when she would stop by the house. At the start of Covid in March 2020, she went door-to-door asking everyone to decorate their porches with Christmas lights to bring joy to all who passed by. I enjoyed seeing her meet up with friends in the parking lot of the church across the road. Covid wasn’t going to stop them from spending quality time with one another! Our rescue dog ran off a couple of times right after we adopted her and I’d get a call from Ms. Barbara that Holly had shown up at her house. No doubt the cold bowl of water Ms. Barbara sat out for her played a part in that! Ms. Barbara was a wonderful soul and my entire family sends our deepest condolences.
Please accept my deepest sympathies with the passing of your father. God in His mercy has ended his long suffering and called him home. May God’s love and mercy comfort you and your family.

John Domingo was the head of the CEBAF (now Jefferson Lab) Physics Division during the critical time of building the experimental equipment to match the properties of the CEBAF electron accelerator.
This involved determining the scope of the equipment that allowed the best physics to go forward (and also fit the amount of money available) and starting the design and construction of the three experimental areas and the corresponding experimental equipment.
As the head of the Hall B Group and project manager of the CLAS detector, I experienced John Domingo for many years as my direct supervisor. John did an excellent job balancing the requirements and requests of the different communities while keeping the best physics output in mind.
In addition, John became a personal friend. Beyong his physics expertise he had a very broad range of interests including classical music, history (especially egyptology), languages, etc.
Sending all my love and support! Trina was always so sweet and always had the biggest smile. She will truly be missed but her light will forever shine.💕💕
My Brother, My Friend!
My family sends our condolences 💐 to you and your family!
We are so very sorry for your loss and pray for peace for you moving forward! But most importantly we are glad she is now at peace with no pain.
We love you very much! Peace and love ❤️!!
I am so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I first went to work at Jefferson Lab in 1992 and was immediately confronted with the AD of physics. He was hard to miss. His loud demonstrative personality was a little scary at first but over time I found a very caring person. He gave me the nickname when I was an admin student of “Little Doins” which I have no idea where that came from. Such and intelligent man but always ready to go to lunch with the admin staff and learn non physics information which he didn’t know. The real life stories we told him at times would cause him to laugh out loud. He was revered by so many and loved by his admin staff. Definitely a force to be remembered. Rest in Peace John.
My deepest condolences on Trina passing away. She was a wonderful friend to me since childhood and was like a sister to me. A beautiful human inside and out. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. May she rest in heavenly peace. ♥️ See you again one day, Trina.
John Domingo was a big man; not only in size (though he was), but in spirit and especially in his sense of humor. He was a good leader of the physics division, decisive without being dogmatic. And, as Linda has noted, he had an equally big sense of humor. The experimental data centers (the ‘counting houses’) were named in his honor which amused him. He was especially amused that the commemorative plaque was attached to a large boulder sitting in a rock garden. He thought that was hilarious and referred to it as “Domingo’s rock”! He was a good man and will be missed by many.
On behalf of the members of the older Hampton Roads Digital Shutterbug Club, we extend our condolences to the family of Trina Haj. We shall cherish her contributions to our club as only the beauty of her smile exceeded the beauty of her images.
My deepest condolences to Trina’s husband and her family. Trina was a great friend and we enjoyed spending time together taking pictures and just talking. I will miss her.
Sincere sympathy on Tina’s passing. Got to know Trina from the Photography Club. She was such a sweet kind soul. I will never forget her. Enjoyed going on several photo outings with Trina and had lots of laughs and long talks. Deepest condolences.
May her memory be a blessing. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest condolences. I enjoyed the photo club excursions that Trina arranged. They really helped bring new life into our club. She was a lovely person.
Roy and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family. May her precious memories carry you through this difficult time. She was a strong and independent woman loved by many. She was very talented and I remember how much I admired her energy and talent during our teenage years together. She will remain in my heart. It warms my heart to know that she found her true love while here on earth and now she is free of pain, suffering, and limitations. Trina was a blessing to all the lives she touched and for this I am grateful to have had a part in her life.
I am very sorry for your family’s loss. I first became acquainted with Winston, as well as Donna at VOA. It saddened me so much to learn of their passing, and most recently of Winston’s passing. Please know your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers at such a time. – Jeff Barbour
Gloria, Doug, and Halle,
I am so very sorry for your loss, you all have been in my thoughts during this sad time in the loss of your mother, mother-in law, and grandmother. I have such wonderful memories with Aunt Gail and Gloria during our younger years and they made me smile as I reflected what a fun and joy filled person Gail was. Sending hugs and love.
With heartfelt sympathy, Karen & Eric Thompson and family
Jimmy, Rita, Wendy and family, my sincere condolences to you all at this time. Unfortunately, I did not get to know Janet well while at Acclaim but, I know how happy she was to be living “right around the corner” from her brother. I know you are all at peace as Janet no longer suffers. My thought are with you all at this time.
To the family, I am. a cousin on the Smith side of the family. I have many fond memories of spend over night visits with Theresa while growing up. Theresa and I had a lot of fun in the house on horseshoe bend with Delores and Spike. I will miss Theresa even though we had not seen each other in the last few years she will always have a place in my heart. Marvis
I learned about Rick’s passing today, which would have been his 73rd birthday. I have many fond memories of Rick, which mainly revolved around Randall knives. I feel blessed that Rick scrimshawed my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary knife, which was a Randall Model 5-6″ with stag handle. See the photo. It was Rick’s 1,148th scrimshaw of a Randall knife. It was presented to my parents almost a dozen years ago, and although my father passed away last November, my mother still treasures the knife. The world is a lesser place without Rick, and I am deeply saddened by his loss, not only for his family, but the Randall knife community. The two Rick Bowles Specials in my collection shall remain in my collection.
Ms. Brightbill was the best! She always welcomed the boys over to the house, and she somehow managed to keep her Sonny in line. No doubt she is with Sam now enjoying the result of a life as a good and faithful servant.
Eddie was a genuinely nice guy and a wonderful friend and neighbor. He was generous with his time and would give the shirt off his back to someone that needed it. Our family has many fond memories of being next door neighbors to Amy and Eddie. We will truly miss you, Eddie! Amy and Josh, sending love and hugs your way ❤️
Mommy I love you forever and thank you for everything you taught me to be a survivor. Your the best and always will be. I miss you so much.you are in my heart forever.
Please accept my very sincere condolences on your loss. Hang onto your family and your memories as you support each other through this very difficult time.

Dear Charles, We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. You have been a steadfast and devoted son to her all these years and we know she loved you and was so proud. Jamie will attend the services on The 17th and I will be keeping you and your siblings in my prayers.
It was a pleasure working with Security Officer Jenry Jones at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. He was a very good person. Even though he is gone on to a better place, he certainly will not be forgotten.
It was always a pleasure seeing him show up for security. Always willing to talk about anything (especially law enforcement lol). Condolences to the family. He will definitely be missed
John will continue to live on in our hearts and memories. His presence on this earth was spent in love and kindness as evident by all beautiful family and friends that surrounded him. He will be dearly missed.
You were such a wonderful and good hearted person. I’m so very happy and blessed to of met you. Anne I love you so much and I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
My deepest condolences to Mike, Shelly, Charles and her beautiful grandchildren Keagan and Logan as well as extended family. We will cherish so many memories of her cooking, love of the beach, sense of adventure and strong faith. “Grandma Carole” will be forever in our hearts.
Prayers of peace and love to all – Dina Masek
Bob opened his wood shop to me to work in during the mid 90s until I moved to California. He brought me into the adventures of caving, and was generous with his expertise and knowledge in many areas of woodwork, carpentry and general fabrication. Bob was an amazing talented mentor and friend. He had a great sense of humor. Bob helped build my house in California, which turned out beautifully, 1/64 of an inch over 70 ft out of square he said proudly after we finished sheathing. Bob was a fearless warrior and consumed life to its fullest. I feel privileged to have known you. Rest in peace Bob.
Oh, Avon. You meant so much to me over the past 20+ years. Your Eastern/homeopathic knowledge clashed with my Western medicine, yet I learned so much from you. What a sincere blessing it was to know you. Yes, I am sad that you have left us, but I know you still are with us. You were a true fighter. Your resilience and strength gave your beloved family and friends the unique opportunity to say goodbye over a year-piece by piece. What a special gift to us-but that was you.
My deepest sympathy for your loss! I had the honor of working with Ginny for several years at Sentara Bayside Hospital and enjoyed her company at many dinners out with friends.
Ginny was always a caring, compassionate, and capable leader of the ICU at Sentara Bayside Hospital. She set and championed expations for quality, safety, and service. It was an honor to work with her.
So very sad to hear of Bob’s passing. I met him through the local caving club and did several trips with him. He was a “gentle giant”. Help[ful, patient, soft-spoken and polite … very capable physically and mentally. He often brought his son, Robert, on suitable caving trips. Bob’s upbringing was very evident in young Robert’s demeanor. Always a delight to have him on our trips. Thanks, Bob, for all the time you shared with me.
Prayers are with his family.

To Trina’s family and friends, please accept my sincere condolences. Trina was the nice person we should all strive to be and a very talented photo-artist. She will be dearly missed.
I remember Trina from our family get togethers in Virginia Beach. Trina was always so kind. She made sure we were all able to get together at the beach for lots of fun. Trina was so good to our boys and helped to entertain them while we were there. Dave and I have fond memories of Trina and loved the person she was. We are thinking of you Eyad and your family. I know she will be dearly missed by all.
Tish and I met at work and it began a lasting friendship over 40 years. I could not ask for a better friend. Tish had a heart of gold.

I will miss her kindness.
May you rest in peace my dear friend Sue

Susan and family,
I am so sad to hear that Tish passed away. She always had a smile on her face and made others smile too. Sending bigs hugs.
Your Jazzercise friend, Tina (Bentsel) Clark
I have fond memories of working with Judi in the Virginia Beach school system. Through most of that time, she was the Foreign Language supervisor. I found her to be positive, energetic, innovative, and an encouragement for the classroom teacher. She had a broad scope of knowledge and was quick to research for answers she didn’t have. I always enjoyed our times together. We even bought her little VW hatchback for our kids away in college. Prayers for her family and friends.
she was a wonderful, funny, boastful women.Her smile was everything!! She will be missed, shine bright my friend, just like the angel that you was here on earth. 💕
Ray and I will miss our weekly Saturday lunches and outings with you. Christmas craft shows will not be the same without you. Condolences and love to your family. Ray and Monica
Joe & I send our sincerest sympathy. Sorry we can’t attend the memorial service but we have a funeral to attend the same afternoon of a dear friend from our church. We know this is a difficult time & hope you find some comfort in the wonderful memories of your time together.
Dear Howie and family
We had so much fun over the years with Maureen. It’s so sad to hear about her passing. I will forever cherish her memory. Love Carolyn and Sid.
I send my condolences as I am one of his caregivers here at Princess Anne health and rehab, I’ll leave these words with you although your journey with your loved one has ended, your memories are forever. May you always forever remember the gentle smile he gave you may you always remember the joy he put into your heart may he always give you the peace when you sleep at night when the morning comes it will be a little weary, the days by seem a little longer the the night may seem a little alone, but know that he is still shining down on you, as well as your family tell them crazy little dirty jokes.
It was a honor to have gotten to know him Benjamin for he was a beautiful that the room.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss, Cheryl. It is so very difficult losing a parent. Please know that we are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Hugs from all of us here at the shop.

I have so many memories of Chip,as did Harry.We all had a close relationship back in the day and thought the world of him.He was good at his job and made many friends along the way.Harry passed away July 6 three years ago.Prayers for healing to you and your family.
It was just yesterday that I said to a friend, “I have never had anyone who could fit my glasses on me like Chip.” She agreed! He was so gifted! He could even select frames suitable for me better than I could. I certainly appreciated his good work.
Condolences to Sissy’s family. She was a wonderfully kind, loving, nonjudgmental, and generous human being. We will miss her sunny disposition and will carry her in our hearts always.
Our sincere condolences to the Illy family. We knew Deacon Larry both at St Matthew and at St Luke. We deeply appreciate his service to the Catholic Church family in the Diocese of Richmond.

What a wonderful woman Carla was, I was so blessed to get to meet her while she was at the hospital and help transport her when she had to be moved. My prayers go out to Miles and the rest of the family.
Chip was a great optician and a really nice man. He treated his customers with kindness and he was a master of his craft. I always enjoyed hearing about his hunting and fishing adventures. Rest in peace, Chip, you will be missed by many people.
Betty was my mother’s (Gladys Firestone Kozar,) Step Sister.
Our family sends our sympathy to all of her family.
I remember her as a very lovely woman and met her daughters when they were very young and I was 16!
Blessings, Sidney
I remember Richard at the Omni Hotel. I was working at the Front Desk and he always had a smile on his face and a kind soul as well. I always looked forward to any hotel interactions we had as always came thru with a great attitude. I remember him fondly.
Trina, my heart goes out to you, your husband whom you adored and your beautiful fur baby. We were introduced over Instagram but you were there for me during the lowest points of my life. I know you are free from your pain and suffering and you are watching over your loved ones. Your spirit and your humor will remain with all of us. Love and blessings to all.
Aunt Sandra was LITERALLY one of the sweetest if not THEE sweetest person I’ve ever known. My deepest condolences go to Scott, Steve, Darren, Marissa, Papa Doc and Uncle Wendell. You guys have a village behind y’all. Love y’all family.
Sandra Walker was a joy to know and be around. She possessed a wonderful sense of humor and we spent many times laughing together. She told the funniest stories about some of the times she’d experienced in her lifetime. Her beauty and light will forever be etched in my memory. Rest peacefully in Heaven, dear friend. You are truly missed. I pray for peace and comfort for Dennis and the family.

Sue and family,
Jan and I are deeply saddened to hear of Ed’s passing. He was always such a pleasant and helpful man around Ascension. Please take some comfort in knowing that he is resting at peace with Our Lord.
Wonderful memory I have of Ed is my teasing him
About hunting, I would always ask him well what did
You do today? He would tease me and smile and say “what do u think?
We would both get a good laugh til the next time we saw each other, and so
Here we go again.
“What did you do today Ed” Rest in peace my friend.
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved father. I know that his own fervent faith has been passed on to you. For this, I am grateful to both of you.
Alfred was part of our family growing up. We were all Navy brats and he was one of my older brothers best friends so he was one of my older brothers as well. I had kept in touch with him over the years via phone and e-mail as we lived far away from him. I was very sad when I heard of his passing as he had quit responding to my communications. He will be remembered fondly and missed.My heart is heavy.
Our Dearest Friend Ginny.
Remembering all the fun, happy times we spent together over many years.
We will love and miss her always.
Love
Judith & Keith (from England)
Dear Rocky and beautiful family, Gus and I from st Luke’s parish at the time, once attended your beautiful daughter’s baby shower . I remember gifting her with a blessed virgin statue? And I remember Larry once at First Communion day practice
For my granddaughter , reminding my husband and I to be saying the rosary daily. That was a great reminder to me!

My deep condolences to you and your family! And my prayers to all! Kay Johnson. ( Gus passed Jan 9,2022)

My Uncle Bill was a totally amazing individual who always knew how to make folks laugh. I was an admirer of his since I was a young person. So good looking, smart and family man. The visit I had for a nice weekend in Oscla was one of my fondest memories of him sharing and me learning. May God’s good grace bless Uncle Bill. Condolences to the family, by God blessings be upon you all. Loving memories, niece Rita Hoak

Tell my Dad Hi!
Im so so sorry for your loss Tito Dindo. One of my memories that i still have is being in the back of your red Isuzu, i think it was an Amigo, and you had cranked the car on, and you and Tita Rose were smiling and laughing at me bcuz the music was too loud for me. And i can still hear your voice say “Hey Rosie” and she would always be so happy and smiling and just cool. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. again, so sorry 😞
Lisa was such a fun neighbor! I had the privilege of growing up across the street from the Metcalfes. My earliest memory of her is when she came to borrow a copy of our newspaper as she nonchalantly told my mother Jim had been in a plane accident. I think I was four or five.
The last time I saw her I think my daughter was about the same age. We had such a good talk. It was like no time had passed. That’s how it is with a good neighbor. She was very good to me, I am so grateful to have known her. May she rest in peace.
A wonderful person and woman…she is already missed. We had the pleasure and blessing to know and care for Lisa for decades. I do not get nervous in doing what I do, but I am ALWAYS nervous in the presence of teachers and educators…will I use the wrong tense??? Will I misspell or mispronounce a word??? Teachers have a way of taking me right back to my elementary school years….but Lisa did not make me feel that way. She often was serious when we were together, but if you hit on the right topic, she had a LAUGH that would lift any soul near her. I LOVED that laugh that revealed her….I will miss that.
I love the love story of Lisa and Jim. Sixty years?!?!?!? That is WONDERFUL!!! I was fortunate to witness it and to see it lived out. Jim, it was never more evident than your love and commitment in these last several months when the need was greater than most of us could ever imagine, when so many of us worried, and told you that you needed to care for yourself….but you knew where you were needed. I have always respected and admired you for so many reasons…but your sense of duty is the one that has been in the sight of those who watch you love and care for your dear wife. Thank you for being strong enough to live the example of love within a marriage that has blessed so many of us. Your love, and the love that the two of you shared, has been an amazing gift that you shared, not just between you, but to those of us who have been witness to it.
To her dear children and grandchildren….she loved and cared for you all so much. Over the last 20+ years, most of her time with me has been spent sharing all of the wonder that you brought. You were dearly loved, and when appropriate, bragged upon. 🙂 She will endure in you, branching out from all that she invested into you.
Our prayer, love and thoughts are with each one….just as scores of others who love, care for and support you in this terribly difficult time. How richly we have all been blessed to love and to have been loved by Lisa.
With deepest sympathy and love,

I only had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Owens once – during a pregame tailgate at Virginia Tech that Denise and I were attending! I will
always remember how kind he was and his obvious love of Virginia Tech football! It was also obvious how much he loved his family! My thoughts are with his family! He will surely be missed!
I had the great pleasure of teaching with Barb at Point O’View and wanted to say how sad I was to hear of her passing. She was a steadfast advocate for children and went above and beyond in her duties as a teacher. She, often accompanied by her husband Donnie, was at every after school event that was held at POV, dances, Bingo, plays, PTA nights and more. You could always count on Barb to be there helping out in anyway she could, especially cutting all those cakes. We had one big thing in common. We were both born on April 27th at De Paul hospital in Norfolk, although I came around 4 years later. We always acknowledged our “twin ship” whenever our special day arrived. She wore a constant smile and an open heart. The world was a better place because of Barb. She will be missed by all those who knew her.
Dear Miles, I was so sad to read about Carla. I always enjoyed talking to her at Dr Richmond’s office. That smile of hers was a ray of sunshine and always welcome.
My condolences to you and your family. Please give me best to Bev and Rodney as well.

Auntie Ginny always made me smile – that’s what I’ll remember most about her – smiling and laughing when I was with her! Her warmth, kindness – to absolutely EVERYONE she met – her humour, and her smile. Her ability to see the good in all – no matter what. Those are the things I’ll always remember, and miss.
I’m so glad my husband got to meet her, but sad our little one never did, but I’ll always tell stories of our special times stateside with ‘Auntie Ginny’.
All our love. Mel, Raphy and Leya Rivi xxx

I miss you so much already, you were the best mom anyone could ask for and I am forever grateful that I got to call you mom. It warms my heart hearing and reading all these stories of who you were before I was around, I will carry your kind spirit with me always as a reminder of how great you were/are. Love you, mom.
My beautiful loving sister. You are missed so much. I was blessed to have you as a big sis watching over me and keeping me safe growing up. I have no doubt you are now doing it again wearing a beautiful gown and wings now. I love you always and forever. thank you!
Sending all my love to all of you. John was an amazing husband, father and grandfather and I am just lucky and honored to have been a part of this family for so many years. May John rest in peace in God’s loving arms.
I’ve known Charisse since childhood. She lived 3 streets away from me growing up. She was always a ray of sunshine. Looking forward to meeting the wonderful family that she created and that surrounded her in the years since I last saw her.
I am sad to hear of Ms. Dunstan’s passing. She taught my oldest, JoAnna, preschool in 2005/2006. I have many fond memories of her and her girls. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.
My wife Diane and I have known Lisa and Jim for many years. Lisa was incredibly compassionate and kind. A Saint! And what a wonderful sense of humor. The Rossis of Alexandria, VA, will miss her so. We extend our deepest sympathies to Jim and his family. With sadness, Gene Rossi

I had the honor of calling Barbara my friend for over 50 years! One word to describe Barbara was Sunshine❤️ Just talking to Barbara on the phone made your day a little brighter! Barbara was such a special lady, I will forever miss her infectious laugh! No matter what she was going through Barbara always wanted to make sure everyone else was doing good! I’m just sorry Donnie & Barbara didn’t make it to GA for their visit but I’ll be eternally grateful for the time we did have together hin VA.❤️ My warmest thoughts and prayers go out Donnie, Anna and their family! Thank you for sharing your Ray of Sunshine🙏

Jim Jacobs was a caring and knowledgeable head in the Technology Department at Norfolk State. He was instrumental in kickstarting my professional career. Rest in peace Dr. Jacobs.
You always had a kind word, a smile, and a reason to laugh, that made knowing you and learning from you a joy. You will be greatly missed, just as you are loved. My deepest condolences
Teacher Lisa was such a wonderful part of VBFS. She cared so much for the staff and the students. Her love and support of Friends School has been a beautiful gift and the many lives she touched leaves a beautiful legacy. She will be missed dearly and her memory will be treasured closely. I hold her family in the light during this difficult time.
Doris and I want to say how sorry we area] at the passing of Lisa. She was a gracious hostess and understanding friend. She leaves behind a large community of folks who received her kindness and love not to mention her most excellent teaching.

Rest in peace Omer knowing that your family will be there to take care of each other and your bride. I remember when I first met you almost 40 years ago, you reminded me of Paul Newman with those striking blue eyes and your charisma —such a playful flirt! As I got to know and love your family, I saw what an example to Craig you were to show him how to be a loving and supportive husband and father. And of course sharing all your handyman and mechanic knowledge and skills. All the Livernois’ were blessed to have you as their Dad and Grandpa. May all the happy memories they have bring comfort and may your love for them bring them strength to cope with your loss, especially your bride Anne. Sending love to all.
Kerri just wanted to give you and your family many prayers for peace. cancer stinks… So sorry I know it’s hard. Peace and great memories only, just remember to good!
Jim, Megan, and Jimbo,
Thinking of you all today. Lisa was my third grade teacher and I fondly remember playing gin rummy with her at lunch time and her reading to us at the end of the day. Before she started reading, she’d walk around the circle and pick up a leg of each student to see if we were full relaxed. In my adulthood, I’ve reflected on the relaxation lesson and how lucky I was to be receiving it at that age. I also got the chance to get to know Lisa again while I Iived with my parents during Covid. I’m grateful for that opportunity. Holding your family in the light today, Annie
Tara had such a beautiful soul, an amazing smile and a way about her that made you feel as if you were a friend for life. She came into my life one special evening, my boys called her blue dress as they couldn’t remember her name- she will always be the most breathtaking women in blue
Dear Richard and Families,
We were so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was such a huge friend, early years neighbor and insisted on staying in touch whereever we all lived across the country. Our Hill/Timmerman families had some great times throughout the years and we always had fun and enjoyed each others company.
Betty was special and always had that big smile in a sincere and caring way. Please accept our sincere sympathy’s as we know Betty will be smiling down upon us.
Our Love
Bruce and Linda
Dear Craig and Paula, My condolences to you and his other loved ones for the loss of Mr. Livernois..The beautiful obituary speaks to a life well-lived.
Ann was a wonderful, kind and sweet lady. I am blessed to have had her in my family as my “step-grandmother” for all these many years. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
I have so many fond childhood memories in your home and Tara was always in them. Having lost a sibling myself, my heart aches for what you’re going through. Please know you’re all in my thoughts and prayers.
Had the honor of knowing Phil through his journalism and as an amazing soccer player where he was quite the aficionado…a delightful man. enjoyed his friendship.

Leigh Ann called me in May to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day and proudly shared a picture of Logan. He lit up her life. Leigh Ann had a generous heart toward those she loved.
I will never forget the day you were born. I will never forget singing songs to help you fall asleep too. I will never forget the way your eyes lit up whenever there was a Braves game on TV. I will never forget how we could talk for hours about anything. I will never forget what an amazing mom you were. I can not believe that our last goodbye was really our last goodbye. 34 years is just not enough time. You are with mom and grandma now. You were loved and will be missed. I can’t believe my baby sister is gone.
Meredith, Jerry and I are truly sorry for your loss. My brother will be missed, and he will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in peace. Sharing our love and condolences to the family! We’ve attached a reembrace with some family pictures to share.
I was blessed to play alongside Chuck for three years. I remember him for his great arm and strong bat, but also as a great team player. We played together on my church softball team, Miles memorial Methodist. Thanks to his leadership and a very good group of Ocean View boys we were VERY GOOD. Thanks for the time I got to play ball with you and being a friend. R.I.P.
My heart breaks for Kim’s sweet family. I am so grateful for her Godly example and for the peace we all will have knowing she is in the arms of our Lord.
I would like to offer my deepest condolences in the loss of Kim. We have been praying for her here in LA. My daughter, Dani knew her from the gym and thought the world of her. Prayers continuing for the repose of Kim’s soul and for Matt, Joshua and Kirra. May God bring you comfort and peace knowing that she is with the Lord, and finally able to hold little Leo again.
I will miss Sam dearly. My best friend at Carolina, Dorlene mcduffie, and I would listen to Sam’s jokes daily. He was the funniest person we knew and he was so smart.
Rip Sam
Kim, I’m still struggling to find the precise words to express how your departure from this Earthly plane has impacted me and everyone you came in contact with. Oh how I wish you had more time, we all do. I do however, find some comfort in knowing that your suffering is over. Your smile and infectious laugh, and beautiful face will forever be imprinted in my heart. Rest well my beautiful friend.
Sad to hear of Sandra’s death. She had a sweet smile and was always ready to learn. I knew her only through the neighborhood Garden Club. God’s blessings be with Steve and their families. Steve, you were an exemplary husband.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you all are going through. My daughter Olivia and Kirra became good friends last year at school. My heart breaks for Kirra and your family. We will be sending lots of prayers your way.
Matt, just knowing Kim through our conversations, I know that she was a strong and compassionate women. Her passing has filled me with such great grief at losing someone so special at such a young age. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Becky and Ralph
Ed, you were a good friend to me and my uncle George and I appreciate your support during his illness last year and then again after his death. I know you missed your good buddy after he was gone. I am sorry you got so sick about the time Uncle G. died and that your health and my businees with his estate prevented me from meeting you in person. I miss your calls and texts. I hope you found Uncle George up there in Heaven…..one day, I will join you two and finally get to meet you, in person. RIP.
Kim left an indelible impression of love on the lives she touched. She was a shining light and a blessing to anyone who had the privilege of meeting her. God bless you all.
You are dearly missed. You always had a smile when we came to visit. We will cherish our memories. ❤️ Awaiting the day we see you again.

My heart goes out to your family in this season of bereavement. I am a co-worker of Susan Seamon and I know that she truly loved this bright light, her niece. My prayer is Gods comfort, peace, and strength for each day ahead. Blessed are those who mourn for they SHALL be comforted. Sincere condolences with love.
We were fortunate to meet Kim & Matt in 2010 through mutual friends during the vacation of our lives. Even though our association was brief, we saw that Kim radiated joy, peace, and a divine warmth. It is an honor to have known Kim and we will always carry warm memories of her in our hearts.
Sending heartfelt prayers and Sympathy to the Butler Family. May the God of Comfort wrap his arms around all of you and give you much comfort and Strength. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Linda and Ivye Ginwright.
Thank you for a welcoming home away from home. I love you so much. I’ll always remember the sleepovers, cookouts, water balloon fights lol all that. Hold it down for me until I get there. Love you.
Patsy, we are both shocked and saddened to hear of Tom’s passing, but know with absolute certainly that he is in the presence of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whom he loved so dearly and trusted completely. He is physically and mentally restored, with no more suffering to bear. Tom was such an inspiration in his positivity and love for others. He served our Lord with such joy and personal sacrifice. He influenced so many young people through his example and teaching. We are heartbroken with you for your personal loss, and are so thankful to have known Tom and to know you. With so much love and appreciation for you both, Paula and Rowland.
Mr Ballance was such a kind man. I always enjoyed our conversations regarding our love our dogs and trying different restaurants. He will missed greatly!!
Dear Patsy,
I’m so sad to hear of the loss of your beloved Tom. Sending love and prayers to you, and deepest condolences for your loss.
Love, Mona Smith
Patsy
You have my sincere condolences. I enjoyed meeting Tom as a fellow tour guide. He was always very thoughtful in offering rides to and from our departure points as of course were you. He would check up on me when I was not doing well, as I tried to do for him. He was a very caring gentleman who enjoyed a variety of activities- especially in reference to the church. He always expressed his undying love for you, so I am sure you will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with you.
For many years, Mac (Hoy) was my friend and co-worker at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Williamsburg. He was a kind person and a master at his craft. I know he is missed by many.
Dear Patsy, Both you and Tom have had such a positive influence in my children’s lives. So many fun memories come to mind, too many to numerate! So sorry for your loss, know you will be reunited one day. May our Lord and Savior give you peace and confort as you lean into him. We will all miss Mr B, he was truly a great mentor.
Patsy you are in our thoughts and prayers. Tommy meant a lot to me. We grew up together, started school together and remained close friends through the many years. I will miss my special friend. Love Joyce
Steve was a nice person who enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. We were great friends from first grade thru high school, enjoying our local sports teams and common appreciations of Hondo and Sonny and Credence. Going years between visits in adulthood, we picked up our conversations like the the last one was yesterday. While not perfect, his heart was always in the right place and i will miss him. Rest in Peace until I get there and then we can fire up your old Dodge.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS WE LIVED BESIDE EACH OTHER WHEN WE WERE GOING UP AND GREW UP TOGETHER HAD SOME GREAT TIMES PLAYING TOGTHER ESPECIALLY REMEMBER THE TIME WE ALL RODE OFF THE HILL IN A WAGON AND WRECKED AND BROKE HIS ARM . PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I remember visiting Dave with my dad. Dave was a wonderful man and left a great impression on me with his kind heart and soft words. Blessed to have met him. My prayers are with the family during this time..
Garland was a great advisor and research Principle Investigator while I earned my Masters degree with his help. Always kind, funny, and self-efacing despite all of his talents. He will be missed. My condolences to his family. Michele Davis
Dave “DB”, was a great man. Where he was there was alway a laugh and a goos time. I have so many fond memories with him and his family. He will be missed , but he will remain in our hearts and memories. love and condolences to all who miss him. Love you all.
You will forever be in our hearts Uncle Dave. Praying that you are will Mawmaw and pawpaw eating a good Holiday meal. You will always be thought of on Holidays I can remember we would laugh about who had the fullest plate and who was the most miserable after eating too much.
I am so sorry for the families loss. He was an amazing father, husband and grandfather. The family will stay in our thoughts and prayers. Heaven got a good one!
Pasty, Tom was more than a teaching colleague for 15 yrs. but a great friend and confidant for over 37 yrs. ! I KNOW, based on his testimony, that He is now absent from the body and present with Jesus, the Christ, his Lord! We will all have a great reunion someday with him. This will not be (and only you will get this) ” …on IRON BOUND RD.”
Hi Sherry, Jan Alyn, Kevin and family, Thinking of you all and hoping there is sunshine in your life soon! I am so sorry for your loss of your dad, he was a strong man who inspired all of you in some special way. I’m just a phone call or a text away. Remember all those great memories.Hugs and kisses! RIP Mr. Foley
Patsy. I was so sorry to read of Tommy’s passing. He was a good Christian man and I know you will miss him much. God is faithful in giving comfort and peace in the time of our loss. He has for me since John’s passing. God Bless you and your family.

I had the pleasure of meeting & working with Dave when I was teenager. He was a hard worker that could do anything & was a true family man. To the Elswick & Harp Family, I’m so sorry for you loss. Dave also gave me the ride of my life in that red Trans Am. Whew it was fast with him behind the wheel. Rest in Peace
I am so fortunate to have had a great friend in Tommy for so long. We sure had great fun growing up. I will surely miss his laugh and the phone conversations. Take care of yourself Patsy. He loved you dearly. Nan Walters
Dearest Princess… what an initiation to life, Papa Joe gave us… I will never ever ever ever ever forget our experience in the finest wine houses of Italy and France. What an experience! I send all my love to you at this time and tears, and spitting into the spittoons to Papa Joe! ❤️
To Betty’s Four Daughters,
We are so very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was certainly a wonderful neighbor of ours on Johnson Street for years. Her beautiful blue eyes always seemed to sparkle when she talked and definitely whenever she laughed. Her kindness expressed to us and her hospitality shared with us will always remain special.
You girls were her life! She loved, admired and boasted about all of you! She may be gone physically, but she will always be watching over you and your families from heaven above.
God needed and wanted a very special angel–he certainly did choose the right one.
May all of your funny, loving and special moments with her help ease your current sorrow. She would want each of you to be happy as she is no longer in pain. She and your Dad will always love you and cherish you!
Sincerely, Janice and Ernest Cobb
I wish to offer condolences from the entire Saunders Family, starting with my mother Jo, father John, Jr., sister Dinah Jo (who are now with Joe), brother John III and our extended family members. Joe was a cousin and treasured friend. I last saw Joe at Lake Taylor, and we talked. I have to stop there. Joe did most of his communicating via internet more so through my wife Cecile. Either way it was always good to hear from him. He was special. I am sure God has had a place waiting for Joe. Love to his family,

Love you,,,Steve
I offer my condolences to Joe’s extended Family and Friends at this time of great loss. May Peace be with you. I have many fond memories of Joe and The Ship’s Cabin. He was a ‘natural’ in that business…the ultimate host…great memory for names…always ‘genuine’. May Joe Hoggard rest in Peace.
Dear family of Betty Bielicki ~ I met Betty in August of 2017 at a Widows’ Support Group. Here’s a picture of us together ~ taken when we paid a leisurely visit to the Tropical House at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. May your cherished memories of Betty, a great lady, ever stay in your hearts, as they will stay in mine. Deepest condolences. May she Rest in Peace.
I met Mike while working at Titan Corp. He was always smiling and happy. He would put a smile on my face every time I saw him. We were both RM’s in the Navy and would share stories. I know he will be sorely missed. Fair winds and following seas shipmate. RIP
Joe and I spent many hours together with Wayne Brown and others, working on helping Ocean View plan for the future. We met every Sat morning for several years.
We enjoyed “the cabin” too on many occasions.
Joe was a special person, I also carried a bottle of wine for him all the way to a restaurant owner in Paris.
Many good memories. Took him some Doug’s hot dogs, the last time I saw him he said he couldn’t eat them any more. So glad we had that last visit
Bob Lundberg was a special and gentle person. He was a great mentor for people who worked for him.
He was a great inventor.
I sent out the sad news to a distribution of people from Exxon in NJ. I received many wonderful comments about their relations with Bob.
Condolence to Barbara and Mike and their families.

I recognized the character of Joe Hoggard and Ships Cabin before I created a gourmet column in Metro Magazine with Richard and Mili Bass as restaurant critics. Joe was a unique friend. Our family celebrated my 50th birthday at Ships Cabin; and as a surprise, Joe laid out a red carpet (lined with waitstaff) that led to a curbside limo for a night on the town.
I caught Joe at the dishwasher one night, fuming over the waste of bread and butter off plates. His frustration with the waste led to the service of hot baked bread with the unspoken caveat, “Take all you want. Eat all you take.”
Joe had a rare kind of genius that contributed to his lasting friendships. What a great guy!

Laughter is one thing you could always bring out of me, and almost anyone you came across . Those moments I will cherish forever. We love you very much!
fond memories of my friend and Co worker Scott. .I will miss our great conversations about family and music and his passion for surfing. I hope heaven has good waves.
Deep sympathy to the family and many friends of Joe. He will be missed by our dojo members and fortunately we have so many great beautiful memories of Japan trips, SECEP picnics, and delicious dinners at the Ships Cabin. Joe’s humor, kindness, and energy brought a joy to us all. Thank you Joe!
Joe was a great friend. We were in Paris, Aspen and Norfolk over the years and had many past gatherings at Ships Cabin.
In Joe’s last years my daughter Aubrey and dog Pickles often visited Joe at Lake Taylor Hospital. I know Joe enjoyed their company !
Memory of Joe, Tim McDonnald and my family in Aspen. Joe and Tim were on opposite sides of Ruthies run, both turned to the center simultaneously and huge crash of big guys. Both survived unscathed except for egos.
My family and I will miss Joe but will keep great memories.
Steve Swain
Scott was such a big influence in my life. His generosity, his thoughtfulness, his patience, his humor. He tuned my first guitar when i was 11, and even dropped off chord charts with my parents to help me learn. He gave me my first job working at the embroidery shop he managed at the mall when i was 17. He helped my band with our first shows. His music changed the air in the room, and me and my friends loved to watch and listen to him play in his band Churn. He was and still is such an inspiration. I’ll always remember him and look up to him.
The Rev. Harter was pastor at Reformation Lutheran Church, Newport News, where I attended. He was the nicest man imaginable and a dedicated servant of Christ. I so missed him when he left. He married my son and baptized my granddaughter.
May he rest in peace.
My condolences to the family.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a charming and delightful woman who always added to the fun we had at your house, Chantel. Janine, Chantel, and Barry, I truly hope the warmth of fond memories will help get you through this difficult time. Much love, Paula
It is not fair when a kindhearted person is taken away from this earth so early. I am sad, mad & heartbroken as I can see many other people are. Scott touched many lives on his short time with us. Love to Ali, Chloe, and Ethan as well as his mother & close friends. I was listening to Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum this morning & Scott popped up in my mind. ROCK ON SCOTT!
I met Mylene years ago. while working at Bonefish Grill. She was very kind and friendly immediately! When I started working at the Mexican restaurant next door, her and Bryan always came to visit me to enjoy the margaritas! Her, Bryan and Gio were the ones to take me to Top Golf for the 1st time ever! She always filled the room with so much joy and happiness. I will miss her tremendously! My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Cancer sucks! ¡Te extrañaré Mylene!
Mylene’s passing has left a hole in many of our hearts. Words, however kind, cannot mend your heartache, but those who care for you share your grief and wish you comfort and peace of mind. Our condolences.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I met Dawn many moons ago in the good ole Norwest days. She was a processor at the time and i was lucky enough to have her assigned to work with me. I remember one time we working on a particularly difficult or time sensitive application and when it eventually smoothed out, Dawn looked at me with that twinkle in her eye smile of hers and said “Girl – You must have an angel on your shoulder!” Needless to say we had plenty of occasions to share a laugh about that angel many times after that. Peace to you my friend.
Such a beautiful story of true love. I hope you find peace in your memories and know she will be waiting for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It’s one of hope. Carry that love with you always.
Mylene was a very beautiful young lady that will be missed. My condolences to family and friends. Even though I did not personally know Mylene, I loved her. She was in my prayers daily. Her sister Jessi is my nephew’s wife. I am praying for your strength, comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. May God be glorified. In Jesus Name Amen!❤🙏
To Bryan, Jessi, Janet, Margie, Mariam, and the entire family: Our condolences on the passing of Mylene. May the Lord Jesus Christ give you strength, peace, and comfort during this difficult time. I only had a few opportunities to spend with Mylene, but in that short time she was truly a blessing. What I remember the most about her was her beautiful smile. Even though we can’t be there physically for her Homegoing Celebration, we are with you in our thoughts and prayers. Take comfort today is knowing that Jesus said,”And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”-John 14:3(KJV) We love you all (Margaret, Nathaniel, and the entire Mack family in San Antonio, Tx)❤️🙏🏽
My deepest condolences to all. This is a huge loss not just to us but for the world. Few are as kind, sweet, selfless, fun and wonderful as our Mylene. My 💔 aches but my memories will live on. Love you all. Hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
After Dave & I moved from Norfolk to Peoria if I heard Dave laughing on the phone, I knew he was talking to Tom. I don’t know anyone else who could make Dave laugh so hard. Tom always brought joy and laughter into any conversation. We will miss him dearly! So thankful for his friendship through all these years. Praying for God’s comfort and peace to surround you Patsy.
John was my cycling buddy during my time in VB. He was such a good guy and friend, I will miss him, his humor and his amazing photos. My most sincere condolences from Treviso, Italy.
I knew John (and Susan) from my tour at Naval Communications, Nea Makri, Greece. He was a hoot then and I sure he still is. He and I use to play jokes on new “hires” in tech control, especially on the Mid-watch, with him playing the straight man! We use to laugh and laugh. He will be missed by many who loved him and knew him. I loved seeing his photos of the wildlife. My condolences to the entire family. RIP Chief, we have the watch. Fair winds and following sails!
A very dear friend , shipmate and a mentor. It was a great honor knowing John , his humor and his passion. I cried , a lot, when I heard and will miss him dearly but know I will see John again.
Suzanne and Bruce Antink (Henry and Dorothy Loyer's daughter & husband) on

We send special, warm comfort to Aunt Carol, a sweet, gracious and strong woman of faith. Blessings on us all.
Devoted, dependable, dedicated, funny, hard worker, loyal friend – these are all things that come to mind when I think of John. We were co-workers for a number of years and through that developed a friendship that I will cherish always. I know I’m a better person for having known John and will miss our chats, lunches, and visits.
My thoughts and prayers are with Karan and his entire family. Find some degree of comfort in knowing that John truly made a difference!
I did not see Donna much but when I did she was always smiling. I will miss seeing that beautiful face at her happy place on 140th in Ocean City. My thoughts and prayers with my deepest condolences for Angelo and all the family and close friends. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. Rest In Peace Beautiful Lady!
My humble condolences and prayers to your family of the loss of your husband, dad, and grandfather! I met John at the Norfolk Police Department Second Precinct. He was mentor and great friend! John was well liked, great sense of humor, always spoke lovingly about his family, willing to lend a hand, great outdoors photographer, and a man who I call my dear friend who will be greatly missed!!! God bless you and may He embrace you with His love, comfort you, and give you peace and strength during this time!
I had the pleasure of working with John at the 2nd Pct in Norfolk, John as an Operations Officer and I was a Police Officer. John was the kindest, calmest and most caring individual.
After retiring, John learned I have Kidney Failure and Congestive Heart Failure. He immediately showed up at my door to offer his support. Over the next couple years, we have stayed in contact by social media and I will always cherish his friendship.
My thoughts and prayers are with John’s family during this difficult time. John will live on in the hearts of all who cared for John!
RIP Mylene, no more pain, I know I never met you but you are my beautiful niece Crystal bestFriend
so much love…always talk about you…wish I could have met you…🙏💔😘 you in a good place right now…
Mylene had a kind spirit and could light up a room with her smile. She was beautiful both inside and out. Her strength and positivity left a ripple effect on so many. A ripple effect is when an action makes an impact beyond the original action. She was an absolute fighter who taught us all how to be brave and courageous. We will always love her and her legacy will live on.
Dear Mrs. Ballance:
Mom and I were very saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Ballance. He had such a profound impact on my life that I’m not sure words can express. He ignited my lifelong interest in history, geography and politics and his interest in my growth was always evident. Taking his geography class as a sophomore was probably one of the best decisions I made in high school, and one of the fondest memories I have of Norfolk Christian. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of Mildred passing. She was one of the sweetest lady’s I know. As a member of the Red Hat Ladies of Grace she just loved the fellowship with the other ladies and we all loved her so much. She was always so happy when we took the trips to Sight and Sound in PA.
We can all rejoice now that she rest in the arms of Jesus. We will see her again.
I believe that this Bill Spencer and I played football at Catholic Central High School in Springfield Ohio in 1950-51. We had a very good team that year.Bill was the fullback and my position was right tackle. Bill was a talented student and we enjoyed much together though I had not had any comtact with Bill since we graduated high school. That is just the way things happen, sometimes–sad but true. My wife died 14 months ago so I know how hard it is to have a family lose. My sympathy to Bill’s family.
We have so many great memories of Judy. Whether it was sitting on the beach, next to the pool, or chatting with the girls with a glass of wine, we will always cherish the times spent with her. She will truly be missed by our family.
Our thoughts, prayers and love are with all of you.
Love,
The Haleys
Judy was such a wonderful woman and we’ll miss her dearly. She was always perfectly dressed, never a hair out of place. She made us laugh on so many occasions. I know she will be missed and we were so fortunate to have known her. Sending lots of love to the family. Cheers, Judy! – the Cofers
I was so sorry to hear we lost such a fine man. It was my pleasure and my honor to serve your father and get to know him as my friend. He was such a delight to me I Miss him dearly.Rest in peace
My dearest Norman thank you for all the love, friendship and adventures. I am thankful for all that we shared together. I will forever cherish the memories. I love you and miss you terribly. Your loving wife, Jill ❤️ 💔🙏
Vicki will be forever missed. It’s been so hard to put into words what she meant to me but in essence, the word is everything. I am blessed that she was my person and that I was hers. I hope to make her proud and somehow continue her legacy of eccentricity. Love you more Vick!
Pastor Hal Harter was the pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Courtland Virginia when I joined the church around 20 years ago. He baptized my grandchildren. My grandchildren loved him and missed him when he retired from Grace Lutheran. He was a fine pastor! We at Grace still miss him. Rest in peace! Pastor Hal❤️🙏 Love, Lisa McCartney
My condolences to all of you in this difficult time. I was devastated and so saddened to hear of the passing of Norman. He was larger than life, dedicated, passionate and loved his friends and family so very much. I enjoyed sharing recipes and hanging out with such a special person, and he and Jill always made me feel loved and accepted and appreciated. I’m so grateful to have known him and so very sorry for your loss❤️
Our Love and prayers are with you during this great loss. We are asking Holy Spirit to strengthen and comfort you and bring peace, wisdom, unity and joyous salvation to all the family. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.
Vicki will be missed by everyone. She was so looking forward to getting out and visiting with her put of state friends. May she be in a better place not hurting and with her loved ones, all overlooking us.
I didn’t know Harold but I know Thor. Have worked with Thor for 15 years l. Thor talked about his dad all the time. So I felt like I knew him. To the family and friends, sorry for your loss
I will always remember John for is love of nature. And every Christmas as I put up ALL of my Christmas decorations up him telling me, “You know what goes up must come down and keep it simple”. Those words of wisdom always rang clear in my mind as I put everything back away, thinking he was so right. Shawn and I are praying for Karan and the family. May the peace of Jesus be upon you.
O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day
our brother Norman. We thank you for giving him to us, his
family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on
our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion,
console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate
of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue
our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with
those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
I know that Velma is at peace now and using that beautifu voice singing all over those streets of gold and bringing as much joy and happiness to our Heavenly realm as she brought to those around her here on earth. Rest now my friend, you are with those who love you most and that’s Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Hosts. I’ll miss you. Vel 💖💚💞
There are few words that do Liza justice. Generous and kind come to mind. I feel fortunate to have had Liza as my friend, to have experienced her warm smile. My heart hurts for your family. Reach out if you need anything.
Liza was a wonderful person and spent many hours facilitating NAMI support groups. Countless people benefitted from groups she led. We are happy we had the opportunity to get to know Liza, and are appreciative of her volunteer spirit and willingness to help others. She will be missed. Jen Williams, Affiliate Director, NAMI Coastal Virginia
Karan..
So sorry to hear about John. He was one of my favorite people.I have been pleasured to have been a part of his journey through sobriety. Even though we were miles apart we still managed to keep in contact and help each other through life’s little bumps. Fair winds and following seas to a great shipmate.
With great sadness we hear of our nephew, Steve Prevo’s passing. May he enter into heaven joining his Prevo relatives and his friends. God Bless you Steve. We have many happy memories shared by your cousins. RIP 🥰😍
I knew Steve for the past year and he was a kind and soft-spoken man. I was so sorry to hear of his loss. My prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.
I went to highschool with Jack at Cairo Central School in Cairo New York. Jack was always involved in sports and we shared in a friendship during. those years.
In his last days here with us, Jack and I spoke about those good times in highschool and his love of our classmates and others still showed in him.
Jack, may you be rewarded in the Heavenly Kingdom for your love for others and may your soul rest in peace.
I am delighted that I reconnected with Joe. My mother, husband and I enjoyed going to the Ships Cabin to dine and see him in his true element. I will always regret not having the time to visit him the last time I was in Norfolk.
It was a pleasure working with Steve. Always easy to talk to and more than willing to offer his help. One great trip together was going to Camp Lejeune to ride out to the USS Wasp to do a survey. Just a great guy to be around. He will be missed for sure.
Fair winds and following seas.
We are praying for you all at this very sad time and send our love to you all. Try to focus on all your wonderful memories and lean on God to see you through. Ed and Susan
Liza was always full of love and had so much compassion for everyone around her. She will be missed greatly, but there so many good times and memories to carry us forward. Sending all my love to her friends and family.
My friend Donna, I will never forget you and will think of you often. I know we will meet again one day and I will look forward to that day. You were a very special friend and a very wonderful lady. You will be on the top of my list to meet you again. Love you my friend I will miss you so much.
I remember, as a small child, being unable to breathe. I was told that mother and my sister and myself were sheltering with my Aunt Donna in Sioux City Iowa after my father and mother divorced. I don’t remember much besides falling into darkness and waking in an oxygen tent in the ICU. She brought me a green stuffed dragon 🐉 that became my constant companion for many years. We soon moved and although my memories of her are few, that dragon protected me at night and provided comfort far longer than any poor stuffed dragon should have had to. I have so much appreciation and regret, for not knowing her more.
Josephine & Bonney
I’m so glad we were raised in the Era of the 60s. I honor the wonderful parents in our community….Hillary Clinton said ” It takes a village” well it did on 35th, 36th, 37th street. whether the families had both parents or single parents, our community really cared for one another. Mr. & Mrs Flack were pillars in our neighborhood, I remember Velma, the singer, lol. Doris often said she would make up songs, one in particular that made me laughed uncontrollably. Please know our thoughts are with you and we send lots of LOVE.
To Bonnie & Josephine : From the Brown Family Delores, Doris (Dottie), James(Jimmie), Denise and Doreen our hearts was really broken when we heard the news of Velma’s passing, we send our Love & condolences. On 36th street where we all lived was like a big happy family. I remember on Sundays Mr. & Mrs. Flack would play their stereo and invite the neighborhood kids to their home , we would dance & have fun.
Steve and I always joked that we were each other’s favorite cousin. It really wasn’t a joke. (Don’t tell the others). He was a special person and will always be remembered fondly by me. I will cherish all the times we spent together at Christmas Eve celebrations at Grandma’s house, times out at the lake on the island, and other family get togethers, including an epic trip to Cedar Point! I can still hear him joking and laughing. I only wish we had lived closer so that we could have spent more time together in our adult years. He will be missed by me as well as many others. We are all heartbroken to have lost such a wonderful person. Sending a big hug to you Barbara and to Kyle also.xxoo❤️
It is with great sadness that we have lost our great friend and pew partner at church.
Richard was always sooo friendly and accepting of others. He always had a smile on his face, a positive comment that was funny, and an acceptance beyond words. After we quit going to church services because of the pandemic, we kept in contact with Richard via telephone. Heaven had definitely received a wonderful angel with Richard. He and his family are in our prayers and thoughts. Good bye, friend, until we are reunited again.
My heart aches for you during this difficult time. Please know that I’m here for you and will support you in any way I can.
Liza was an amazing woman who touched the lives of so many. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
From the first time I met Donna, I knew I had found a best friend. we laughed together, cried together, and talked endlessly. We shared so much and I loved her deeply. She was the strongest person I have ever known. I will miss her but I know she will always be in my heart and thoughts daily. love you Donna.
To our son,
Love never dies, your wife’s love is everlasting. You complemented each other like no other couple I know. May your precious memories bring you comfort.
We are so sorry for Richard’s passing. We are great friends with Sharon, Richard’s daughter, and have followed the adventures of Richard over the years which were many. A life well lived. We pass our condolences to Sharon, Chris Withers and family.
Mom Perkey was a part of my childhood and beyond. I ate many a meal over her house. I’ve known Mr. and Mrs Perkey for nearly 60 years. Rudy and I have been Best Friends for that long.
Mom Perkey invited me to dinner every time I was there playing in the backyard with Rudy.
There were many Christmas eves and some mornings together. Mom Perkey always wanted to make sure I received a gift on Christmas or my birthday that I really wanted. One year she even got me a new distributor for my 1966 Mustang!
She made the best brownies I have ever had and always steamed the rolls when she made Hot Dogs or BBQ.
When Dee and I moved out of Virginia I made sure I would call her early on Mother’s Day. More times than not she would laugh and tell me you beat Rudy!
Her and Mr. Perkey attended my wedding (Rudy was my Best Man). Mr. And Mrs. Perky we’re even the God Parents of our oldest Son Eddie.
There isn’t room to tell all the stories I can remember about mom Perkey. I just know she was a part of our lives for many years and I thank God for that.
John 11: 25-26
Rudy and Dolly and Family you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Tierney, Rabea and Colin I’m so sorry about the untimely passing of your mom Monique. Although I hadn’t seen her since her last visit to Michigan, I think fondly of our fun days growing up with all the Aunts and Cousins. I’m so happy that she was able to get to know the grandkids and enjoyed her time with them. I know her passing leaves a big hole in your heart. May she rest in peace.
Liza was a joy to know and will be greatly missed. To Derek, Tracy, Eric and Jon, may wonderful memories bring comfort during these difficult times. We will pray for peace and keep you and Liza in our thoughts today and always.
Ms. Mo, you’re a PRICELESS TREASURE and SPECIAL FRIEND; an Angel with a heart ❤️ 💙 of gold. Gone too soon. I MISS YOU! I
soo appreciate your support for Emanuel’s HOPE Foundation Inc. I Thank you for believing in me and the mission of my non-profit organization: “Complimentary Lawn Care For Seniors Citizens”
R.I.P Ms. Mo🕊😘💙😭 http://Www.emanuelsHOPE.org
To all Liza’s family, our deepest condolences and sympathies for your loss. Liza will always be remembered as someone who had loved her family so deeply. May God grant eternal peace of her soul in heaven.
I had the pleasure of working with Steve for the past 5 years here at MARMC. He was the electrical planner for my shop and i would come and talk to him a couple times a week regarding parts and stuff. This past year I switched jobs and I joined him in planning as the other electrical planner and I sat on the other side of him. We had a very good relationship and he was always there to help me out. We kept it light and we would always joke around. I will miss him and our daily talks. He had a wealth of knowledge and I knew if asked him about something he had the answer somewhere. My deepest condolences to his family.
I was so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. I always enjoyed hearing about his many travels from Sharon. There were always interesting stories to tell. She and her Dad certainly shared a love of travel. My thoughts and prayers are with Sharon and the rest of the family. God Bless. Fondly, Norma Stone
I hadn’t seen Laurie in many years, but remember her youthful spirit and how much fun she and Lewis were. My condolences 💐 to him for losing his “twin”. With love.
How wonderful it was to have had the privilege of getting to know Nancy whilst she was still well enough, and be able to speak with her on a few occasions and share photos etc. A reconnected family through quite miraculous means. Love has no concept of time nor limit. It is not bound by miles that separate. Family is and always will be connected no matter where our individual lives may take us. Be it in this world or in the next….
My prayer now is for Nancy’s family who I know will be filled with such sorrow. I ask humbly Lord that you send your Angel of mercy to tenderly soothe and cool the brow of those that grieve and bring to each family member a convicting knowledge that only the Holy Spirit can endow that this is not a Goodbye but merely a pause before we all meet once again.
Blessings and love from Elizabeth, Ernie and all your extended family here in Australia.XX
A candle lit here in memory of Nancy reminds us of the same light that now glows ever more brightly in heaven. Love always Elizabeth, Ernie and family xx
First and far most I am so sorry for your loss of Maureen way too young. I remember Maureen from her time in youth group and I’ll always remember our first trip to Mount St Mary’s for Mount 2,000 and beyond. What an awesome experience for you as a youth and for me as a leader to watch the youth praise and worship god along with our wonderful sleeping quarters on the floor under the loud heaters. May you rest in the arms of your eternal father. May your husband and children continue on holding your memories in their hearts
Miss you sister! Hope you are at peace and enjoying your reunion with Mom, Dad, Nana, Buddy and young Matthew. I carry your smile with me always. xo Tracey
Daughter of Hunter Blake. But named after my mom. For Fair Lady Pure of Heart in the House of God. May God pass Judgement if he never asked for forgiveness and have mercy on his soul. If not there is a special place in hell for his misdeeds.
He sexually molested me, disowned me, and married so I wouldn’t inherit any of my grandmothers possessions. The woman who married my father told me I couldn’t attend the funeral of my father. She had a criminal history of fraud the private investigator said and glad I didn’t know her. Never produced a Will. And when I told about the other children he was talking to with sex pedophile names that the PI sent to me after my fathers death she didn’t seem to care. Let’s you know the person she is and he was.
P.S. if this is going to the wife who has a history of fraud that the PI said hope she rots in hell too and will make sure to say something at her funeral.
whenever she dies of old age. And will keep an eye out for it so I can attend my step mothers funeral who said I couldn’t attend my dads. Just to tell about her fraudulent forging of sigs the pi said she did and how she cheated me out of saying goodbye. And how she knew my dad was a sex offender and didn’t care.

The point being that I was denied to say something in regards to how I knew my father and who he really was. A coward so will make sure I speak and come unannounced as a fair trade so her friends know exactly the truth about her. Have a good life. Knowing you took money from children your husband molested.

Oh it said duplicate didn’t know it posted. Anyways thanks again for robbing me of speaking the truth on my fathers grave. May you live the remainder of days with that guilt.
I feel privileged to have met Mo and be there for the birth of her baby boy Leo! Such a beautiful person and lovely family. My deepest condolences to her family.
You came into my life unexpectedly. I made ine small decision to try to get an Usborne Airplane Busy Book for free, for my then 1-year-old. Enter, Maureen…who quickly became Mo, very quickly not a single day passed that we didn’t talk. All of these years later; 3 babies treasured and 3 more babies welcomed, so many books read and shared, so many laughs, so many tears, so many homeschool PAYDAY celebrations – all of these years later, you left us just as suddenly.
I will miss you for a lifetime, I will love you even longer. Thank you for leaving 4 beautiful pieces of you, and for loving Mark so perfectly that even he is a piece of you. Now we can pour all of the love we still had to give you, still want to give to you, into your family still here. Just as you would want us all to.
I’m so sorry to hear about the Lorraine’s passing. We went to school together and she was a good friend of mine. We lost touch for many years and then reuntied a few years ago. My condoloences to her daughter Grace.
We are so sorry for Richard’s passing. We enjoyed him as a neighbor for many years in Alanton and have wonderful memories. He was always kind and funny. We enjoyed being invited to the dinner clubs hosted by him and Dot. He was always positive and all the memories of his stories and jokes make us smile. Thinking of Sharon and family, and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Bennie and Jane Etheridge, Greg and April Etheridge, and Tracey Etheridge Chestnut
I am so happy Mark brought you into our lives. You brought so much joy, calmness, peace, fun, unconditional love, understanding and love to us all. Holidays and get togethers were a bit brighter with you there. We had so much fun. You were the best Mom to your 4 little ones. I have learned so much from you. You were my rock. My sounding board. My friend. My daughter. Someone I could always get the best advice from. I love you so much and the journey forward will be difficult without you here. You have touched so many.
Such a beautiful soul gone far too soon.
Love you Mo ❤️
Love Patricia/LooLaa/ Mom
My parents, George and Marj Crump, my brother, ((Rick Crump) and I were great fans of The Ship’s Cabin and Joe. We were there on almost a weekly basis. The food and restaurant was outstanding and always had a great meal. Joe will be greatly missed by all that knew him. RIP Joe!
We are so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. He was an incredible man who always had a smile, handshake, and positive attitude about life. I remember when he first joined St. Michael. He would come to the church office and we would chat about his wife, his sadness over her passing, and how he loved it at St. Michael. We miss you, Richard.
Praise God for bringing you into the life of the congregation at St. Michael.
Sending love and condolences to all of Alma’s loved ones. She was a remarkable woman and an inspiration for all. She is greatly missed. It has been my honor to know her. I’m forever grateful for love and blessings she shared with my family and I across the heartwaves. Dearest Alma, rest in peace 🌹🌹🌹
I joined Alma’s Facebook page only this year. but she made me feel as though I was her very special friend. I have a feeling everyone had the feeling. I also feel like we were all graced with the presence of a saint. Because of her example, I will try just a little harder to be a better person day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute. Thanks to the family, and especially Linda, for their efforts on her behalf through that transition into God’s loving arms.
Alma and I worked together at A.R.E. In 1971, and I worked there again in the 1980’s and 1999. I have wonderful memories. She helped me one time with my migraines. I was definitely on her FB list. She will always be with us in spirit
Alma’s presence with our small lunch buddies’ group was always enjoyed by all of us. She was a sweet sweet Lady and such a giving warm person, as is her daughter, Linda!
Bob and Gail asked me to do a representation of one of Bob’s most famous stories “Bob and the Cow”. If you knew Bob, you knew this story. It was hilarious! I was honored to do so. He will definitely be missed! He was one of a kind.
Cathy
Gail and family, what a journey you have had, often so difficult and frustrating. Yet, you have all forged through with determination, and grit mixed with grace and love. We are sad for you all yet relieved that Bob isn’t suffering anymore. You continue to be in our prayers for comfort and peace in the days ahead. Much love, Sam and Nancy McPhail
Prayers for the family and friends of this wonderful lady. She will forever be part of the Macys family and I will never forget all the times I worked with her there she could always light up a room not only with her fashion choices but her sense of humor. Rest in peace ❤️
Gail, this has been such a difficult path for you. Bob had the very best care possible with you. He is no longer suffering. Much love to you and the boys.
What a courageous pair – Bob and Gail! To say their lives together are an inspiration to us all is certainly an understatement. I can only imagine the large crowd of family and friends waiting on the opposite shore who welcomed Bob as he began his next assignment, making all those around him laugh with glee. Gail and boys, job well done! Susan Wilmoth
We would like to light a candle and offer our condolences. Joann was a wonderful and kind person to know and work with. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. We send hugs and prayers of comfort.
Missy I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. It’s a void for sure. I surely miss my mama every day. Just go one day at a time and hold fast to your memories. God Bless You.
MISSED. I see a reservation that she was in and makes me have my emotions all over again. Lee was very important to me after my husband passed away she is the one that got me out of my bubble and or the mode that I could not do it anymore. miss her smile and her kind words she is surely missed by many. sending prayers for to the family….
Mom you will always be in my heart and soul. You were such a vibrant beautiful funny woman that we will miss everyday. I have so many memories that I will carry with me forever, when even I need a laugh or a shoulder to cry on I will reflect on these to carry me through life. You save a spot for me and I’ll bring the glitter for the walls. I love you mom. oxox
All my love and prayers go out Alma and her family. Her and Linda are two of the most loving and caring people I’ve come across. They always managed to make my day at work so much better and full of joy. I hold them very closely in my heart. I will forever cherish all of our laughs, stories, and even sometimes tears that we all shared. Thank you for allowing us at Huddle House into your family and letting us love mama<3
Lee was the embodyment of WTH culture, she was caring, insightful, always willing to lend a hand and always considerate of others. Our little world is a little less sunny without her here nurturing and guiding us. She’s truly missed!
Lee, you are so missed at WTH. I always enjoyed getting to work one on one with you and your kindness and empathy made some hard times better. Love to your family and friends, you were a gem.
you for ever be in my heart, and I am so grateful to have been blessed to have your support at World Travel Holdings and your friendship.You will be missed
I was in Great Lakes RTC recruit company 915 where Rob was our “rpoc” recruit chief petty officer. I knew he was a genius immediately upon meeting him and he was a natural and completely effective leader. I respected him enough both as a leader, musician and friend, to look him up after all these years – never forgot him. Condolences to his family. Have no doubt, he was great.
Dear Andrea~
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband Tom. You have my deepest sympathy….and you have also been very much in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love,
Gloria Cargill
Fellow member of the Virginia Tea Society
My sincere condolences to you all. I worked on the 2nd Grade team with JoAnn for many years. She was a kind-hearted, dedicated educator. My favorite memory is of the day JoAnn forget to put on earrings – she was always dressed and made/up to the hilt and this really bothered her. Somehow, she managed to find a pair of earrings from a co-worker and happily went on with her day. May she rest in peace.
Missy, David & Family, I’m so very sorry for the loss of your precious mom. Though I haven’t seen or talked to Lois in a long time, every time I spoke with her, it was obvious that you all were the light of her life. I’ll never forget that sparkling smile and infectious laugh or her ability to always lift my spirits with her kind words and deeds back when we first moved to Virginia. I always looked up to her with awe and admiration. She will be missed. Love and prayers to you and all the family. Karla (Bob & Betty’s daughter)
I am so sorry. You and Bob had a very special relationship and that is such a blessing. Wrapping you and your family in hugs and prayers. Much love, Sherril
I am so sorry I never had the opportunity to meet Bruce. I know how much you loved him with the testament of a 43 year marriage. Mt thoughts and prayers are with you and family during this time. Please do not hesitate to reach out for anything.
Elwood was one of those personalities that you always remember. He had a great heart and friendship always to those he knew and worked with in the grocery business. My friendship with him was through the Belo grocery store where my ex-wife Jane worked for a long time. Back then the employees and their families were all part of the Belo family with many get-togethers and outings. Elwood always participated and brought fun and good cheer with him. He carried that friendly attitude with him every day he worked and always greeted customers like they were his personal friends. Elwood will be missed, and I am grateful for having known him. My sympathy to the family on your loss.
Dear Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you in this time of mourning and I offer you a big hug. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers. Denise Bowman
Dear Susan and all of Bruce’s family
I am so sorry to learn of Bruce’s death. He was a joy to know and has been missed here in Boone. May he rest in peace.
Lorraine Baumhover
Dear Susan and family,
It was always a pleasure to have Bruce as a part of any function we attended. We fondly remember discussion about our area when you were looking to come to Appalachian. We also enjoyed discussing boating. It was a pleasure to get to know Bruce. We send our most sincere sympathy on his recent passing.
Loving thoughts from Faye and John
Susan, we are so sorry for your loss and offer our condolences during this difficult time. We remember Bruce so fondly; you captured his spirit, kindness and gentle nature so well in the obituary. God bless you and your family – our prayers are with you. Paul and Mary
It’s almost 5 years since you had to go; Soul Sisters should not be separated this early in life. I know you are flying free Butterfly, but I wish you were here. I miss you so much, I keep my reminders of our great friendship close and think of you often, wanting to call or come over and share. I read our texts today; there weren’t a lot as we usually had a lot to say, too much to type 😉, but there were reminders of your last days and what we were doing and sharing. I went on FB, scrolled back years just for the memories; of course the funny thing is that because you loved that photo of us, it will be forever 😋, but I am so grateful we had that moment in time, we never know what is to come 😔. BFF’s 💜💛🦋🦚
Aww Elwood was a nice man . I remember his parents as a kid . We used to go by their house and visit them and their little dog “Bart”? We used to sit at their picnic table and talk to Mr Craft for hours. I will always remember Elwood on his moped. I will miss them
Sabrina,
Our time with you was limited but beautiful. I will forever be thankful you came in to our lives. We waited forever and it was so short lived… but worth every second. Watch over your siblings. We love you sweet girl. 💙
Our little three pack of a family will never be the same without you. We love and miss you so very much. I will look for you in my dreams. You are my heart, my soul, my bestest everything. Until we meet again.
Bobbie & Danny Stuck & Heather Poythress & family on
She was a beautiful Christian lady inside and out. I enjoyed visiting with her and she always made you feel welcomed. Prayers for the family during this tough time. Know that she is in Jesus’s arms and we will see her again.
God has opened his arms and has led her into his peaceful kingdom. I am so sorry John for the passing of your dear sister. May she rest in peace . 😇✝️❤️🩹🌹
Rest In Peace dear Jimmy. Your body is now well again. Thank you for our beautiful children and the many happy memories we had. You’re now in heaven with your mom and dad and mine as well. Mom always looked out for you as I’m sure she is now. Dad is as well. Give them all a big hug for me
TC and I first met back in the early 1980’s traveling on Tiger Team for Norfolk Naval Shipyard. I knew from the beginning that we would be friends for many years!! TC was with me the day I got my first Bear! He was as excited as I was!! And our friendship continued for many more years talking about shipyard, hunting dogs and hunting. He will be greatly missed! Thanks TC for being a good friend and mentor! Rest in Peace old friend in the hands of God!!
Gary, I’m Thankful you got to show Camper the home place. Everyone needs to know their family history. Love You Dear Cousin, Cathy in PA. Will miss your visits & story telling. ❤️
I will always remember Bob’s kind Spirit and Great Family. Over the years since Jim passed the many Good memories have sustained me in my grief. May Bob’s Good Memories sustain You also.
Paul and family, Guy and I are so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. We have many fond memories of camping with the two of you on Good Sam’s campout. May the Lord Bless you and keep you.
I will always remember our Hidenwood “Life,” you and Bob such a central part. A beautiful couple, and family, and you a tower of strength, Gail, that has held it all together. Thank you for the very meaningful tribute to Bob…and that family.

Prayers goes out to the family. Ken Mattos you will be missed. I miss you talking shit and trying to run me over with work vehicle. You were a bright shinny star around here. Your shit talking would brighten up my day and have me laughing. I’m smiling and laughing as I write this thinking about you. I know you are in Heaven making the other Angels laugh. Love Love Love and Blessings
My heart goes out to the Curry family,
I am sorry for your loss,he will never be forgotten.It’s been many years since I saw mike but there are many of good memories of him.
My deepest condolences to the family. I knew Karen through Jeff. My few times meeting her, she left a very lasting impression. She had a beautiful compassionate soul and you felt like you had known her for years after visiting with her. I know she will be deeply missed by her entire family, but Jeff will no doubt be impacted daily by her absence. Take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and in a much better place with her parents, and will always be with you in spirit and watching over you. Heaven gained another beautiful Angel. God bless you all.
Regards,
Dee Rilee
Chuck was my cousin. We called him Chuckie when he was little. His father was my Uncle Cliff, my mother’s brother. He was a great kid. He grew unto a great adult. He was so helpful to my mother. I cannot believe that he has passed.
Thank you for your messages and love. We will be planning a “Celebration of Joe’s Life” for a later date. If you would like to be notified please provide your preferred contact information so we can reach out to you.
I am so sorry to hear this. Sue will be very missed, she was such a kind hearted and thoughtful person. Many many good camping memories with Her and Paul. Thoughts and prayers for her family and friends. Rest in peace Sue.
I wish I had got more time to get to know my cousin. We lived in different countries but all our interactions were pleasant. Now she is hanging out with my mother in heaven. <3
It’ll be 2 years since you’ve been gone in 3 days, I miss you and love you. Not a day goes by where I don’t cry and think about you. I miss you so much pawpaw. I’ll see you someday
What a life, what a legacy he leaves! — in the medical profession but especially in his children and grandchildren. I remember his love of gardening (just like my Dad) in the late 70’s in Charlotte. I loved talking with him at Josh’s wedding – it had to have been 25+ years since I’d seen him, but he remembered me and we had a great conversation. So glad you could all be with him at the end of his earthly journey… I am sure he is now making beautiful music and enjoying his role as Chief Gardener in his heavenly home. Sending love to all the family. Raise a glass to Doc Joe for me this weekend.
My most sincere condolences to the family. I miss your laugh and seeing you in the work vehicle running in the field. I know that your smile is bringing joy to others in heaven. Thank you for being such an excellent coworker. We love you and Blessings.
The family has our deepest condolence from Reverend Doctor William H. Ballard and the Evergreen AME Zion Church. May God give your strength for today and the days to come as you mourn the loss of your precious loved one.
Jeff and family, we are deeply sadden over the loss of Karen. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Riddick Family,
We are sad to read the news that Ole Doc Joe has left you, a fine person of a great family. We are also sad to have lost the contact with you now for decades, we remember your visit to Switzerland Marcey and have fond memories.
With our deepest condolences,
the Meyre family in Richmond
I have many memories as a young girl & teenager with Terry & Mr. Eddie. Rest easy now, you will be missed by many. Much love & many prayers to the family. Love, Kathy White Mahone
Rosie was such a sweetheart I met her while working at Sentara Bayside she was so selfless. It’s hard to find a coworker like her. She’d help you do whatever you needed her for and we really loved her. If you didn’t like Rosie there was something wrong with you. She was such a joy and we continued to keep in touch after I left and started working on the peninsula. I’m so sad about this she was such a gem. Other thing I appreciate about her is that at times she asked me about my face and I will share with her what I believe according to my faith. some people don’t realize that your faith is what makes you who you are but Rosie realized that. Having said that this is what I believe simply put the Bible says that the dead are in the grave awaiting resurrection. John 5:28,29 they are not suffering or in any kind of pain for the dead no nothing at all Ecclesiastes 9:5 they can neither help nor harm us because there is no work nor planning or knowledge or wisdom in the grave Ecclesiastes 9:10 lastly I believe with the Bible says when it says God will do away with death forever 1 Corinthians 15:26,55; Revelation 21:4. I think that’s why Rosie likes me so much because I bring help and I’m such a free spirit much like she was take care of your family you Are in the prayers and thoughts of many.

I am so saddened to hear of Debra’s passing. She was loved and will be missed. Sending hugs and prayers to Bill, Erica, Rachel, and Donna. May your great memories of her help you all through your grief.
Sometimes love needs to travel through the ages to find the right time to touch your soul. Thanks for catching up to me. I love and miss you sweetheart
My deepest condolences to you Irma, Jason, Shannon, David, and Alana.
We have fond memories of Robert from the old neighborhood in Wesleyan Chase and that will forever be in our hearts.
Sending you all love and prayers.
May his soul Rest In Peace and grant him life everlasting.
I’m so sorry to hear of this news. My condolences to his loved ones.
We went to high school together, and I was close to his brother for years.
so sorry, may the loving memories live on.
The world lost a kind and beautiful soul with the passing of my Aunt Diana. I will always remember her as a great teller of ghost stories and giver of warm, radiating hugs. Although her light has gone dim, it will forever shine bright in the hearts of those who knew her.
Its been many years but i will always remember the good times we had. You will be forever loved and remembered.Joyce and Debra i am so sorry for your loss.
Richard was a funny, down-to-earth, sensitive curmudgeon who brought laughter and common sense to every occasion. He was well-loved by family and friends alike. He is missed keenly!
I’m so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. My condolences to his wife Betsy, sister Cheryl, niece Stefanie and the rest of his family. He was deeply loved by all. May you all find peace and strength during this difficult time. Ercelle
Dear Holland Family,
I recently returned from traveling and asked a friend living at Harbors Edge did he know how I could get in touch with Phyliss so that we could catch up. I am sorry I did not know she had passed away. The Small’s lived across the street from Bob and Holly and Jack was my dad’s cousin. I had known your mom my entire life and I will certainly miss her and all of her talents.
Sincerely, Billy Small
Ron was a true gentleman, and was a wonderful respite caregiver. His kindness and caring made a huge difference in Jim and Helen’s life. It was heartwarming to see how he put the caregiving skills he mastered in caring for his wife to further use in the respite care program.
May peace be with all of the family.
Deep condolences in the loss of this lovely woman to her family and loved ones! I was one of the people who benefited from her daily prayers. You will be missed but forever remembered for a generous life so well lived!
I did a google search on my granddad and found out today 11/07/23 that he passed on the internet. This is so heartbreaking to find out this way. My earliest and best childhood memories include my grandad. No one mentioned this to me or called me about this nor was my name mentioned as a grandchild. What a terrible misfortune to be born into this family.
Gloria was a ray of sunshine and the epitome of grace. One of the best decisions we ever made at VB P&R was hiring her parttime (at first) to help with the senior citizens program. They absolutely loved her and she was such a pleasure to work with. Her boys were her shining lights – even with their occasional acts of mischief. The heavens are certainly brighter with His newest star.
Dear Gordon,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your lovely wife. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I know she is the one who made you such a happy person!
May her memory be eternal and may those memories sustain you and your family in the months ahead.
Sincerely, Melinda Schenkkan (retired THS teacher)
Been friends with the Alley family since 4th grade at Thalia. Ms Alley was always gracious, even when hosting the basketball team after games. A true lady. My heart goes out to the boys.
To my dear Pops (he asked me to
Call him that), I have loved you from
Afar for many a year. It is my prayer
That your passing was peaceful. My
Short time with you I will forever cherish. You daughter in my heart.
Condolences to the Manley family. We grew from children to adults. God fearing, we learned from great parents . Praise God for his blessings.. The Fitzgerald family..
Your mom, my Aunt, was truly the kindest person I have ever met. Each time I spoke with her, I felt at peace. That is a gift. I wish I spent more time with her. Praying for you all.
What an amazing women!! Alma was our next door neighbor when I was a kid growing up. I loved your mom’s smile, the crafts she would make out of leaves, the smell of gardenias in your yard, and the confusion I had when I first noticed my first twin. I am so sorry to see she has passed. We all loved your family and always appreciated them looking after mom when I moved to Chicago. I would have to say I miss those times!! My dad would tell me I had to come home when the street lights came on, but sometimes someone would kick them out. (LoL) God Bless Y’all you are in my heart and prayers!! Hugs!!
I have such fond memories of Gloria. I worked with her for many years at Virginia Beeach parks and recreation. She so loved “her seniors” and she was so amazing with them. she was such a beautiful woman inside and out.
On behalf of the G.W.Carver class of 1968, our sincere condolence to the Manley family. We will always have fond memories of his genuine smile. May you be comforted in knowing he is resting in God’s loving arms and with a smile.
I knew Sue for several years. We volunteered together helping wild and domestic animals alike. She was not only compassionate to the animals but helped encourage fellow volunteers as well. She was a champion for those without a voice, I was honored to call her friend and all of us, human and furry who knew her will miss her terribly. BUT the world was left a better place for having her presence in it. Iam certain she is over Rainbow Bridge today playing with all the creatures she encountered and loved through the years. Hug them for me till we meet again Sue.
Kevin and Family, Chris was an amazing person and an animal lover, I remember the elderly Bassett hound y’all rescued years ago. I remember Chris and I conversating about the reason she rescued her, Chris wanted to make sure she lived her final days resting and enjoying life and I hope she did the same.
I am sorry for your loss. Barbara was a lovely woman to work with for the last 6 years. No one has ever been more helpful during inventory than her. She was delightful to everyone around her and her spirit will be missed.
Kevin I am so sorry to read that you wife past away.I know she was the love of your life and you were her love. Hope you are doing well and will continue caring for your family and even the animal you and Chris have. Thank you for my friend.God Bless you during this time
Kevin and family – your loss is truly great! A wonderful young woman who cherished her family and so dearly loved the Hampton community she served. Kevin you are in our prayers during this difficult time. Ross Kearney
Linda was such a beautiful soul. May she rest in the peace she so dearly deserves. Condolences to Elaine, Johnny Boy, Wayne, Lindsey & Matt and the rest of her family and friends.
On behalf of East Coast Leisure I am grateful to have had Linda as part of our family . Her positive energy will continue to live on with those of us that were fortunate to have her in our lives.
It was with sadness of loss that I learned of Chris’s death, I know She had many admiring friends, and I am proud to have been one of them. She will be greatly missed. I will always remember Chris.
Dear Pearl and family, So sorry to hear about Merry. My Jamie has cancer and is in hospice. Hopefully Merry will welcome him in the next week or so when he’s in heaven. God bless you all and no matter what trust God!
What a gift Merry was to us. She had her daddy mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Her mother’s heart of kindness and compassion
Our hearts are broken with each of yours. Yet, God in His mercy released her from her sickly body and long term illness.
We carry you all in our hearts and prayers. The God of our Lord Jesus Christ the God of eternal (never ending always and forever) comfort comfort you. Hoping to join you for the celebration of Merry’s life if possible. Merry knew she was loved. You all treasured her well
Bill and I were so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I know it was a shock to everyone. You and your family are in our thoughts at this hard time.
I grew up with Merry from Arrowhead Elementary thru Kempsville High.
I gave her a pair of Madonna gloves for her birthday many years ago. She loved Madonna. I’ll will miss seeing her photography and collecting sea glass posts on Facebook. Condolences to all. 🙏🙏
My Seaglass Sister 🩵
I hope you are finding the most beautiful treasures in heaven, and singing loud for all the angels to hear.
Miss you terribly. Love you Merry
Miss Pamela took me in when I was 18, homeless and pregnant with nowhere to go. I was a scared kid and had no idea what to do. She asked for nothing. She fed me, housed me, and even took me to Dr’s appointments and job interviews. I was able to get it together and go on to live an awesome life. Miss Pam, I will always be grateful for you and carry you in my heart forever.
I knew Merry from the sea glass hunting world, and remember her as a kind, funny, and caring person. Her bright smile and sense of humour will be missed in our community. My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of this most lovely lady.
My heartfelt condolences to the combs family.
Merry was a great friend. She was thousands of miles away from me but we still could have some fun together. She had inspired joy and quirkiness and a beautiful kind soul. I remember her telling me that she had the craziest dream that she flew to Australia and found the worlds smallest stopper. I will miss her so much but I know she is in peace now and will be in our hearts forever.
Merry was a much loved friend from the beachcombing community. I tried to stay in contact with her this past year, and she was always just the kindest, sweetest, warmest soul without fail, and knew how to make you feel special. She will be missed. All my sympathies go out to her family and friends.
Merry was Sunshine on a rainy day….her smile was contagious and genuine, as was her laughter!
I trusted her with the care of my children many yrs ago when times were tough and I needed someone I could trust, she was there n always willing to help !
Merry will be missed!
my condolences to her family….
Rest in peace dear Merry
David was born in San Francisco in1961 to Betty Cox Mitchell and Leon Willard Mitchell. His brother Gary was born two years later. David spent the first 14 years of his life growing up in San Francisco in a time when children could roam the city and had to be home when the streetlights came on.
In 1975, David moved with his mother and brother to Bridle Creek Virginia, his mother’s family homeplace where his grandmother, Ruth Halsey Cox, still lived. David cherished his time growing up in Independence with cousins and friends. In his adult life, Daivd was very proud to call Independence home and brought many friends to the mountains to show them his Grayson Home.
David leaves behind his dear friend and partner for life, Charles Mahone. David and Charles were together for 33 years. They loved to travel and cruise together, making friends wherever they went. David also leaves behind his brother and wife, Gary and Susan Mitchell and their children, Lucas and Mary Mitchell.
David earned a degree from Old Dominion University then pursued a 30 plus year career in the hospitality industry with Marriott Hotels. He loved life, especially his family and friends. David had a passion for music, particularly Karen Carpenter and jazz, and could often be found helping elderly neighbors do their shopping.
David will be deeply missed by his family and the many friends who all loved David.
A service will be held 2pm Saturday, December 9th, at Bridle Creek United Methodist church in Independence, Virginia, with a light meal to follow at the church. The burial will be the following day at Saddle Creek Cemetery in Independence, with just family attending.
Oh sweet Daddy of mine, not sure how I’m gonna do this life without you 🥹 Being your daughter was a privilege, a blessing and all a girl could ever dream up for a father to be. Being the only daughter was just icing on the cake ☺️ I could never come close to repaying you for all you’ve given me. I know without a doubt that you knew how much I loved you and that brings me peace and makes the pain a little more bearable. I miss and love you so much dad … love~ your baby girl 🩷
Buddy and family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I just learned of Anne’s passing when I went to email her as we did from time to time over the past several years. I loved our conversations and shared stories via email, keeping fondest memories alive. She gracefully made the trip to visit my late mother and I several years ago which meant the world to us. She felt like a second mother to me at times during our early years as your neighbor, a second home of sorts that I will always hold dear to my heart.
Take great care.
Sheila Stone
My condolence to the Quade Family. Yes, I have heard many of his great stories as well as enjoyed every one of them laughing hard. The way he told a story would make you attentive. Eileen, thanks for answering every telephone call. If I had a daughter, I would pick one like you. God Bless Pat CSL @ The Ballentine
I am so glad to have known Herb. He was a fabulous storyteller. Sometimes I would start to giggle even before he launched in. He was an infectious optimist and had a can-do attitude about everything. He loved his family and had a warm and generous nature. He is missed. Thank you for posting this story. I learned so much about his fascinating life of service.
Uncle Jack you will be missed greatly by friends and family! No one could make me laugh faster than you! I’ll miss listening to you play music and sing, hearing stories about Papa’s old cabin in the mountains, your visits to Scotland and your research into our family ancestry. There will always be a place in my heart for you! The Cahoon Family will never be the same without you. I’ll miss you big bunches!
So sad to hear of Sandra’s passing 😢
Forever grateful that our paths crossed years ago and she helped start me on my journey of healing and learning ❤️
Our deepest condolences to the family and my Uncle Charles. Dave was a caring and loving person. He will be missed. His hospitality will also be missed. Those conversations we had will be cherished and missed. Rest easy 💔
Merriest the most radiant light on earth was transformed into a seaster because her beacon is so bright it will help guide all that loved her from realms we don’t quite understand.
Herb was a delightful and engaging man. You could not be in his presence for long and not end up smiling. His obituary here conveys well his ebullient personality, varied interests, and broad expertise. It had been a blessing to know him. Kathy and I send our heartfelt condolences to all Herb’s family and friends even as they celebrate his life well lived.
Nancy McClure was a fantastic math teacher. I was lucky to have her for Geometry, Algebra 2, and Math Analysis. She did not put up with nonsense, but was patient and encouraging with those who wanted to learn. She gave clear instruction and worked many examples. A smile from her was worth any amount of hard work. When I became a high school math teacher myself, I tried to pattern my teaching style after hers, and hope I somewhat succeeded.
Erika, my beautiful daughter, how my soul cries out for you is something I can’t explain the feeling of emotions and flesh within is almost unbearable. I’m so very heartbroken but knowing you no longer are suffering gives me peace. 37 years I watched you overcome all the agony of pain, yet you still loved deeply, and never complained when you were in pain that of 100 men on this earth. I love you and miss you so much, my daughter, my woman of God, my soldier and warrior. Erika, all the hugs, kisses, and compliments I will cherish always until we meet again. No excuse is what I will take from you no pain in this life should stop you from saying ” I love you and to keep pushing through the pain in this life on earth will bring. We spent amazing times together doing everything and I can’t have that anymore saddens me deeply. I thought I knew what pain and suffering felt like I know now on, Dec 8, 2023. Jehovah, I cry out from the depth of my being God, I need your grace and mercy to help me keep moving. Erika, my daughter, is in the heavens with her saved soul. God, she loved you so deeply more than me and please continue to watch my baby, your child, your creation. You gave me Erika Fabre Oliver as a temporary gift. I pray and know in my heart you will give me a ” WELL DONE”! Father in Heaven, the creator of Erika’s heart I love you, and thanks for accepting my angel into your Kingdom in the heavenly realm with no pain, no sickness, no sorrow. At least Erika is with you. As Erika said Mommy, I have more faith than a mustard seed. Guess what Erika, so do I. Erika rest, rest, rest and I will never forget you looking in my eyes smiling wiping away my tears saying relax Mommy it’s okay.
Sis, I love you so much and miss you with my whole heart. Thank you for being an amazing sister and my best friend. You mean the world to me forever and ever. You will always be apart of me and I will be sure to make sure your legacy continues. I’m so sad that you aren’t here with me, yet I’m so glad you’re no longer in pain. You fought until you couldn’t fight no more. Your are strong, fearless, intelligent, beautiful, Women of God. I know you have earned your stripes. Continue to cover me and Italiana. I love you forever and always your little sis. It’s never goodbye, but always I’ll see you later. I know heaven is exactly like we thought it would be❤️💕🕊️🙏🏼🕊️💕❤️
-Italy.B
Erika, I miss you. Knowing that you were only a few street lights away gave me peace. Your respect, love and kindness bring warmth to my heart and will give me strength for the rest of my journey. You are a beautiful soul with the strength of a hundred men—a perfect gift from God. Remembering how you left and entered a room, your stylish, obedient, pleasant, and loving way just lifts me up and fills my heart with love. I know that even now you are waving saying “Hey Papa”. Wow, I wish you knew how much of a tickle it gave me each time you said those two words. I will always draw from your strength and charm. I will always remember that this life we live is a gift. I will always remember that there is a time and place for everything. I can hear you say, “Okaaay” with a snap. I will carry your respect for others and your pure independent spirit with me forever and continue striving to make you proud. Rest In Peace Sweetie! I know you are happy with God. Hugs and Kisses until we see you again in Heaven! I LOVE and MISS YOU!
I met Sue when I started teaching at Kings Fork Middle School in Suffolk. We retired together in May 2009. We had lots of adventures to Scholastic Book Fairs, Suffolk Mystery Authors Festivals, movies and lots of lunches. Our best adventure was a two week trip to Hawaii with Johnna and Bob. We sure made the most of that tour. I will surely miss my good friend. Condolences to all her family and friends.
Condolences to the family. Sue and I worked together at King’s Fork Middle School. We were teammates in the Alternative Education Program and had many challenging as well as rewarding experiences working with the students that had academic and behavior issues. We continued our relationship after our retirements as we shared many lunches. She will be greatly missed.
Everyday I wake up and think to myself, this can’t be real. I feel like I’m dreaming. I never pictured life without you. You were more than just my cousin, you were my best friend. You were literally like my diary and human form and I’m going to miss having you to lean on. They say time heals all wounds, but I don’t think I will ever get over this. The fact that I have to live the rest of my days without you breaks my heart. But I have to keep reminding myself that you’re no longer in pain. I will cherish every moment we have spent together & every conversation we’ve shared. I love you so much & I thank you for always being there. Until we meet again my forever angel 💜

Our sincere condolences to all the Quade family. Herb was a great guy. I miss seeing him out on his bike trips through the neighborhood. Fair winds and following seas be his.
heavens gain

Please accept my condolences in the death of your loved one. Sue & I both were long time VA Stage Company Associates / volunteers. She was lovely to be around & is missed already.
Merry was full of passion and light, laughter and joy but what struck me the most was how she wanted to make others feel all those things too! May she forever walk the golden sands of endless time discovering all the wonders the worlds and may it fill her soul with all the love in the universe! Love ❤️ always
Jerry always had a smile/grin on his face like the cat that ate the canary. Always positive and fun to be around. He will be missed and that’s something we all can only hope for.
Tracy and I were coworkers for years.
Condolences to the family
One of a kind. I’m going to miss the smile and laugh, the jokes you always sent along with my birthday cards. the gifts given out, one for each no matter how many, at every family gathering. We are poorer for your loss here but Heaven is definitely richer. You are and will continue to be, missed.
Larry
Debbie was my neighbor and first friend when we moved to West Newton. So many memories of playing at her house and swinging on the swings. Even then she was a little evangelist, inviting me to join her at Baptist Bible School when we were around 5. She will be missed, but we know she is spending Christmas with Jesus.
Mom, there are no words that describe how I feel. I miss and love you so much. My heart is shattered into a million little pieces. You weren’t supposed to go yet, we had a 3-year plan.
Christina,

Hugs my friend

May God Bless COL-Ret Jonas & his beloved Family. Then-Captain Jonas was one of our very best Professors at APSU ROTC; his legacy continues to this day. RIP, great Sir! RLTW/AATW, Jim Huggins (APSU ROTC 1977).
My thoughts and prayers to the family. Paul was very a special person to me and there was not a day that he did not make me laugh. I will miss you dearly.
Sue and I became ‘single-mom’ friends in the early 80s and enjoyed time sharing game nights as when our sons were young–loved our fellows. Condolences to David and Ryan and all your dear family–she had the best smile and laugh! rest in peace lovely lady.
I used to work next door to Richmond Camera and became instant friends with Merry. I loved talking to her about Madonna, No Doubt, Gwen Stefani, and more. I will miss your laugh and your pictures. You always had an eye for beautiful treasures. I am praying for your family, and I will hold these memories tight. <3 always!
Sister Wright – whom I call my 2nd Ma, was among the kindest, most loving individuals I’ve ever known. From the 1st time I met her, & her family, she accepted me as one of her very own kids ..almost immediately. They’ve all been like my 2nd family..not only true friends. Sister Wright – my 2nd Ma – will be missed.. with all my heart. We all thank Jehovah whom she loved & lived & died for, faithfully, that we shall soon see her again in God’s New World.
My wife Linda and I have known Bennie and Rod, through their daughter Sue, for a number of years since they moved to the Richmond area. In fact, the three families were neighbors. We have always known Bennie to be cheerful and sweet through all the years we have known her. We mourn her passing almost as much as her immediate family.
My wife Linda and I have known Bennie and Rod for a number of years, through their daughter Sue. Sue and Stu were neighbors of our for many years before Bennie and Rod moved to the Richmond area. In fact, the three families lived within four houses of each other.
We found Bennie to be warm, pleasant, and kind through the years. We will miss her almost as much as her immediate family missed her.
A Mother’s Love,
To what can we compare?
Someone who lives and dies not for self, But for all whom she loves and cares.
Time passes with gentle laughter and soft sorrow;
How much her love teaches of a better tomorrow.
Loyalty. honor, and dignity she’d impart,
Knowing the needed motivation lays deep within the heart.
What legacy then can such a mother bestow?
Innumerable – her beneficiaries would come to know.
Such unselfish, unwavering love – devotion,
A reflection of her Eternal Father’s glow.
And soon when all is done and all life on earth becomes one.
A mother’s love to time indefinite will lovingly abound.
Michelle was very supportive of The Sophisticated Ladies with her position at Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center. She embraced us and we were allowed to host Kwanzaa celebrations and The Juneteenth Pageant. She will be missed. We will dedicate this years’ Kwanzaa celebration Ujima to her. Rest in peace, Dr. Jeterfonee Jones-Giles and The Sophisticated Ladies family
Jeff and I hung around together in our early teen years; riding motorcycles, mine was a “normal” Honda, his was a Hodaka, with an interesting sound that we laughed about, always. He went to Jacksonville Chapel youth group for several years and kept everyone laughing. Whatever he did, he did BIG and with a smile on his face and a belly laughter that he shared with everyone. I’m sorry for your loss, cherish your memories, he was a great guy!!!
Growing up two doors down from Gene and Jerry gave me the wonderful joy of being fed, schooled, disciplined, and not very often, sent home by Mrs. Alley. She was such a positive force in the neighborhood…everyone adored her…and I have never forgotten her. My preteen days were so much richer thanks to this amazing lady.
I met Ted when I bought some Elvis memorabilia from him a few years ago. We were instant friends. I would visit him, and he would have Elvis music playing for me as I entered the house. He was such a kind, living. and generous man who unjustly suffered so many physical ailments in this life. It seemed so unfair that any one person would have to go through what he endured. He will be greatly missed! My condolences to all who knew and loved him, especially his son, daughter in law, and granddaughter. He was so proud of them. May you be comforted and surrounded by love during this difficult loss of a fine human being. Godspeed, my friend, you are free!
Gosh, I’m missing you tonight, mom. But I know you’re celebrating Christmas with Dad, your mom and dad and family and others in your wonderful forever home. I love you❤️
I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Wright, but I feel like I’ve known her for years because of Jaela and Angie. I knew she was an amazing woman with strong faith, a sweet spirit, quick wit, and always full of wisdom. I can confidently say that Mrs. Wright was an excellent example of the woman in described in Proverbs 31: 27-29. Mrs. Wright has certainly been a blessing to me and my family because of the indelible legacy she has had on her daughters.
My heart is broken for the Wright Family, and my deepest condolences to the many people who were touched by their loving Mom. I will continue to think about you and pray for your comfort and peace.
I am so sorry for your loss… Merry was a very special person. The entire Instagram beachcombing community misses her and was profoundly sad to hear of her passing.
I am saddened by Gloria’s passing, but what a beautiful, rich, and full life she led. She had the most amazing gift of kindness and always welcomed anyone she perceived to have a need for an ear or a hug. I was an odd little girl who always seemed to be drawn to adults rather than other children, and since few girls were in our neighborhood, I often found myself chatting with Gloria on her front porch. Her love was palpable, and I felt it. Though I know she must have tired of me, she never sent me away. Thank you to all her boys for sharing her with me. I know her beautiful smile and spirit are lighting heaven now.
Wayne and Judy have always been my family, as Brandt and I have been brothers since high school. Wayne was a model of stoicism who would listen with consideration before giving out sage wisdom. There was no question about his love for his family, and when you were with him, you were included in that love. I know that he had endless pride for Brandt and the man he has become, and rightfully so. We were all truly blessed to have had Wayne in our lives.
Jack Our dear brother and brother in law! You are with the angels no longer in torment! May he Rest In Peace with the Lord! Becky your sister and Ken your brother in-law
I am so sorry for your family’s loss of one of the good guys I knew in high school. He was an awesome athlete and always friendly and kind to everyone. Please know that you all are in my prayers as you navigate life without his physical presence….but I know he will always be in your heart and that will be the greatest gift he can give you now.
I am so sorry to hear of cousin Wayne’s passing. I am blessed to call him cousin. May God give you peace knowing he is celebrating Christmas in Heaven with family reunion.
Rick and I are sending our condolences, prayers and love to the Hoppel family. We pray that peace and joy return to your life soon. All though we know it will never be the same without Mr. Hoppel.
Sorry for your loss. I really hope your healing will begin and i will put you all in my prayers. Love you guys very much. Please lets stay in touch better than we have so far. just remember i did love your parents very much.
Terri; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you find comfort with each other, sharing your memories and keeping them close to your heart.
Mike, Terri, Debbie and Judy,
I often remember fun times with the Hopple family , I carry the memories with me to this day . I won’t ever forget the piano that played itself in your family room, the music was beautiful and brought lots of laughter with all the kids running in and out! Your parents were so kind and caring to our family and were ALWAYS there for our mother Corinne. May you all be uplifted knowing your Dad always had his arms open to make this world a better place .
You all are in my prayers .
Mom was such a kind and giving person. I will never forget how she always put the needs of her family and others ahead of her own. Look forward to seeing her in the near future.
Joe will always be “Pinky” to me. He will always be the leader of the pack, with Billy K., with no less than 15 younger kids following him around our Westbury road neighborhood. I remember him swinging between his crutches from the top step after his tree accident with the biggest grin on his face. Pinky, rest peacefully until we all smile with each other again. May your home going be joyous.
Winston was a quiet soul who Zi did not know well, but he was very sweet and kind. Really interested in law enforcement. I will miss his smiling face and his quiet manner.
We would like to extend our sympathies to Janet’s family and friends for their loss. Janet was a wonderful, kind, and thoughtful woman. I will think of her when I see spring and summer impatiens blooming. Our condolences to all.
I was so sorry to hear about Michelle. She and I worked together at CNU. She was such a creative and fun individual! Her passion for Ella was evident! All of you have my deepest sympathy. Ari, I lost my mom after a long cancer battle when I was 22. I know how much it hurts. All of you, cherish your memories from over the years! God Bless!
Ms Helen was one of the 1st people when we moved onto Redwood 10 years ago (we are no longer there). She saw Lewis mowing the yard & she brought us fresh tomatoes. We later visited her with homemade banana bread and we were friends since. She was so very kind to us, making us feel at home in the neighborhood. She loved meeting our twin daughters & kept up with us quite a bit after we moved. Her memory will live on in our story as a new couple just starting their life together. She will truly be missed.
On behalf of your APCIA PRI family, please accept our deepest sympathies. A donation has been made in your father’s name to the Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center.
Sending our deepest love and sympathy. Helen was such a precious soul, always having a sweet word to say and sharing that beautiful smile. We will miss seeing her worshipping with us at New Song and we look forward to worshipping with her again some day!
Mrs. Brown was a wonderfully cheerful and caring person. I will always cherish visits with her while hanging out with her son and best friend, Dale. Her love for her sons was immeasurable. I will miss her as I am certain will her sons. My deepest sympathy for their loss but rest assured her loss is felt by all those she touched.
I first met Joe and Sue in May of 1988, when I moved to Virginia Beach. We were at an Ascension picnic. It wasn’t until a few weeks later when I turned into a country music station that I learned I was sitting and sharing a meal with this wonderful local celebrity. The thing about Joe was he didn’t present as a big celebrate. He was a very kind and down to earth man. I especially loved the Sundays that he was the elector. When he read the Bible passages, it was almost as if I was there. That beautiful voice. One thing that I learned from this bigger than life man, was to always wish everyone I talked to daily was to have a great day! So Joe, thank you for your kindness, what you have done for our Ascension family and our community. You certainly are a shining example of a disciple of God. Until we meet again, Rest in Peace! Job well done.
Dear Judy, Lisa, and Lauren – Uncle Jim will be sorely missed! I will always remember him as someone we could go to for advice, who was kind, and listened. I will be forever grateful that he was there when my mom passed. May he rest in peace.
Sending condolence’s to the Hoppel family, Michael (Carole), Terrri (Mike), Debbie (Tony), Judi (Tim). Our family share two of their, grandsons, Colin Gaskins, and Hunter Gaskins.
Louise
We were very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a kind person, especially with the animals at the ASPCA . He will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with Judy and family. We wish you good thoughts and memories!! 😔
I first tuned into WCMS when I got stationed here in 1967. Joe was like an old friend when I heard him on the radio. Enjoyed his show very much. I was happy for Joe when he retired but sad for me. Never found another station DJ that I liked as much as Joe. I really liked his sign off and have used it often. There are times someone will say “you listened to Joe Hoppel” I sure did. Miss you Joe. I know you and Sue are back together now.
Helen Brown was a joy to be around, she was one of the sweetest person and we loved her dearly. She was always smiling and only had the kindest words! We were so blessed to have been a part of Helen’s life and we will forever cherish our time visiting with her. No matter where we went or how far we went, Helen always made sure that we knew she was thinking of us and our short visits we had every time we visited home (Virginia Beach) means so much more now than they did then. We look forward to our meeting again, Helen. We love you and will remember you always!
Condolences to all who’s lives Helen had touched, but most especially to her children.
Judy, Lisa, Lauren and Q,
Our sincere condolences. Our hearts are heavy for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories. We are here for you with prayers, light and love. Rest in peace gentle soul, Jim.
Love, Mike and Sheila
Thoughts and prayers go out to Jim’s family over his passing. I started knowing Jim back in 1980’s unitl out retirement years. I kept up with him looking at Facebook. I knew Jim as a friend, HVAC Designer and Mechancical Contractor he was with TL&A. He helped me on numerous projects. RIP Jim.
Randy Elder
When I first got hired as a Service Tech by Bell Atlantic in 1998, Dennis, affectionately known as Doctor Drop, was one of the first technician that helped to train me. He got his nickname from being such a pro at replacing the dreaded aerial drop wires that hung from pole to house. Dennis was very kind to me and supportive. He was a fantastic mentor to me and such a great help to building my confidence in a heavily male dominated career. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
We will always treasure the times we had together in the prayer garden. The prayers, the talks and the worshiping together! We are so thankful that whenever we needed to discuss something, or just share a meal or desert, the door was always open to us. She would always ask Pastor Lee to grab her bible and he graciously would; then it was game on! The times we took our granddaughter Malina over and Mrs Debbie would talk to her about stories in the Bible and the importance of a prayer language. Those are treasured windows of time that are stored in my heart forever. She was never short on words and had a most contagious laugh. I’ve never met anyone more on fire to tell people about Jesus and pray for the nations. Truly a rare gem was received in heaven. You will be missed, but we will see you again when our mission here is completed. Until then enjoy the river in heaven and all you get to experience there. No doubt you will have much to share when we are rejoined with you. Until then I pray Pastor Lee will smile every time he thinks about your laugh! Our door is always open and we are beyond blessed because both of you entered our lives.
Dear Mavis I just heard today of Martin’s passing and I am SO SORRY. He was always so pleasant and had a smile when I saw him. I last saw you both at Mom’s Homegoing in June & I’m so thankful that I have that memory of him.
You will be in my prayers for God’s strength & grace as you walk through the difficult
days ahead. Love you dear friend. Carolyn
Dearest Susan and family:
So very sorry to read about the passing of your Dear Mama. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad and difficult time. Take care and may God Bless you always.
Joe Olney was a member of our residency family, living in our Healthcare unit the last year of his life. He will be remembered as a very friendly man who stayed active (even in the gymn) for as long as his health allowed. He is being missed.
I only had the honor to meet Sandra once when she surprised Hank with a cake on his 85th birthday at the Military Aviation Museum. Although I only met Sandra once, I got to know of her and the beautiful life she lead through the many stories Hank shared with us, his fellow volunteers of his and Sandra’s life together and the true happiness she brought him. Through Hank’s words and memories, I have come to know that Sandra was a wonderful life partner, mother and grandmother.
My condolences go out to Hank and his whole family.
Sincerely,
Bob Finley
Dear family, Our condolences for the loss of Gail. She was an angel sent from heaven and now she has returned back to heaven. Gail will be missed by us all! I know she’s with Johnny and family having a family reunion. May God bless everyone in this time of sorrow! love, Aunt Bonnie, Rick and Kelly Ann.
I am very sorry to hear of Barry’s passing.I remember him always being happy,smiling and laughing. He had an infectious laugh.Good guy. A friend…..
Rest In Peace my friend………..Vaya Con Dios …………..Much love….
Dad/Papa. You are so loved, and will be greatly missed. Of all the good, fun, sweet memories I have and cherish- I will always, always remember and hold dear; how you used to love taking me to work with you! You loved that shop, and that’s how I chose to remember you. That fun, spunky, absolutely hilarious spirit lives on in so many of our hearts. I also want to share my gratitude, as you were a really amazing Dad to all of your kids, me included!
Please give Uncle Johnny our love too, see ya’ll in Heaven- and in one of Johnny’s famous lines- God Speed!!!
My beautiful friend Cathy will always hold a special place in my heart. We became friends in Jr. High and continued our friendship throughout the years becoming roommates for a few years after graduation. So many fun memories made. Cathy had a heart of gold and would light up any room with her beautiful smile. She would turn heads with her stunning beauty and grace and was always there to support a friend in need. Our lunch dates were filled with lots of laughter and shared memories.She loved her family dearly. Cathy’s unwavering strength fighting this battle was remarkable. Sending love and prayers to her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by so many.
I was so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing during the holidays. We worked together for five years at WCMS. He was a pleasure to work with, always bright and cheerful. Prayers to the Hoppel family. He was a radio treasure and now a legend!
Billy was our cousin and we got to see him regularly when we were all young. He was always good natured. Everyone liked Billy, and we were, and are, so proud of his service to our country. He’s truly a hero. We will miss you Billy.
Love, your cousins~ Carolyn, Gary and Barbara
(Gretchen “Nancy” Addison’s children)
Our deepest sympathy goes out to JoAnne and the family. Bill was a large asset to the Cypess Point Commons community, as well as, a good neighbor and friend. Please know that the family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I’ve known Billy since I was a teenager. There was always a group of us that hung out, cruising Doumar’s on the weekends, having beach parties, etc. I remember when Billy was in charge of the Whitetower Northern Division, living in Alexandria & Baltimore, we would go visit & go around the cities learning the areas. Then, when he moved to Ga., husband, myself & 2 of our oldest children (sons) one of those boys son, Billy & Dawn had a “crush” on each other, went to visit them. What a special, great time we had. We went everywhere, visited all the sites to be seen. Then he opened the Anglers Reef restaurant, a very nice place to dine & dance. Needless to say, Dawn & our 2 sons worked there together also, as teenagers. Some good times were had there too. Just remembering Billy back in the day, how he treated his friends and family is heart warming. Coming to visit you in the hospital, when you came home from the war I’ll never forget. Thank you for your service to our country. You worked hard for everything you had & for the USA. God Rest Your Soul, Fly High. We will never forget you or your friendship. Love, Gloria & Paul ❤️❤️
Rest In Peace Billy! We are blessed to have had you in our lives, and I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your friendship and mentorship. Thank you for your selfless service to our country, I will miss our military conversations more than anyone will ever know. You loved unconditionally (God, Family, Country) and I will strive each and every day to live by your example. Rest in peace and God Bless. 🙏
Your love for Leah and I went beyond unmeasurable. The living room pillow forts, dancing to Boogie Shoes by KC &The Sunshine Band, and all the little commissary gifts are only a small example of the love you had for us. I promise I’ll have my nickels to pay you back when I see you again. I love you to the moon and back, forever your brown eyed girl.
I worked with Bill many years ago at Lynnhaven Middle School. He was one of the kindest, polite, professional teachers I had the pleasure of collaborating with in my years with the VBCPS. I know he will be sorely missed by his friends and loving family. May his memory be a blessing for all who knew him.
My sincerest condolences to the family. I did the Olney’s tax returns for many years. They were both very special people and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting them.
Cathy, my wonderful niece left us way to soon and took such a big part of all our hearts with her. One thing we will always have is our beautiful, everlasting memories of her!
Heaven certainly has a very special angel to embrace. Rest in peace, our beautiful, beautiful Cathy!
May God continue to Bless Bill, Pat and the rest of the Bowling family. Bill was a wonderful friend & neighbor. A proud paratrooper. Always a big smile; always friendly and generous with his time…. The mayor of Queensgove Circle … It seemed he knew everyone and had many visitors stop and say “hi” each day. He will be sorely missed by so many.
Jean will be missed very much. She was always there for me and she helped my mom raise me. Jean is survived by other family member’s. Patti Grant , Brittany Christopher, Adriana Grant also Isla Christopher.
I do remember when she drove for the Black & White cab company. She would take me along with her. Jean had a big heart and a great personality. She would help anyone that needed help.
I have many fond memories teaching with both Bill and Pat at Aragona Elementary School. We were saddened to hear of Bill’s passing . We express our sympathy to Pat and the family. Bill was loved by many and will be missed.
Carroll and Sandy Monger
We have been greatly saddened by the news of Bill’s passing. We will always remember him for his kind, outgoing, funny and generous spirit. Words are just not adequate to express how very much we will miss him. We pray that Pat and the family will find peace and comfort in their strong faith and in their loving circle of friends who are there to support them.
Sweet crazy Linda Louise were a wonderful old friend….we met when we were 11 or so at Camp Owassia summer camp on Shore Drive, then again in HS, and again when she was an apt manager at 1000 Osks.….she will be missed yet I know we will see each other’s souls and immediately burst into laughter and tears….
Bin eine Klassenfreundin von Aline und wir haben zusammen due Jugend verbracht.
Ich bin absolut fassungslos und sehr traurig.
Ich habe keine Ahnung wie man sowas übersteht.
Viel Kraft für alles was kommt.
As friends of Bonnie’s sister Cindy in England, we have many happy memories of times with Bonnie and Cindy when she came to visit her sister in England. Bonnie was a gracious, kind, and multi-talented woman, whose company and conversation was always delightful. She had a strong and compassionate faith that was an inspiration. We will miss her visits but will see her in Cindys friendship and love.
My deepest condolences, Cindy, on the death of your dear sister. She was a beautiful soul. i got to know her well through an Enneagram group, which we both attended for many years together (and i met you there as well, many moons ago). She will be missed.
Michele, Sandy and I are sad to hear of Mike’s passing. he fought a good fight and will be remembered as a great person and friend.
Sandy and Charlie Patton
So sorry for your loss. Sandy was a great person and we shared many memories together. I will always cherish our trip to Europe. Spent much time together at our kids parties
Judy will be greatly missed. We had many good times especially going to OBX. Girls weekend and family vacations and Christmas Eve at your house. You were fiercely independent and resourceful. You talked me into me adventures and we always had a good time. Your love for animals was so important to you and you did so many things for strays & homeless animals that went unnoticed since you never tooted your own horn. Peace and love. See you on the other side.
Chip will always be remembered for his sense of humor, his amazing food, and being the life of the party. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for his family during this difficult time.
My brother was my friend, my brother and my protector. I will miss your live, support, stories and yes your food. You were my hero and I have always wanted to be by your side. I know my new angel will continue to watch over us. With all my love I will miss you dearly. Rest in peace my big brother!!!
Just found out Isabelle had passed. We worked in the same law firm in Wilmington NC. She was an interesting and intelligent person with a talent of telling wondering and interesting stories about her life. From the times she lived in Newfoundland, caring for her children and taking care of her first husband, Bill Aman. We stayed in touch for many years after her move to Virginia Beach. She was a special lady with beautiful blue eyes with a great sense of humor. My condolences to her family.
Stephanie woo surely be missed by everyone who knew her. She was always my daughter’s best customer for Girl Scout cookies each year! I wish I had some ‘Savannah Smiles’ (she always thought the name of the cookie was perfect!)to send to you now.
Kathy and I only got to know Billy briefly, but he left a strong impression on our entire family. His devotion to his family and our country was impressive and Billy was a true patriot. Condolences to JoAnne and the rest of the family during this most difficult time.
I send my deepest condolences to Mr. And Mrs. Virginia Dorsey. I know that he was the only LOVE of yours and he’s Lifetime. I pray for you in this difficult time as well as sending healing thoughts positive energy to your family too.
Mrs. Everton was my high school guidance counselor. I remember her being very kind and helpful. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help get me a college scholarship and award recognition.
Judy was feisty, practical, humble, a serial project starter (probably why we go along so well!) and an animal lover. She was an inspiration and a good friend. I have many happy memories of the adventures we had when she was a student and worked a the Virginia Tech Hampton Roads Agriculture Research & Extension Center. I am better for knowing her, and I will miss her.
It was my pleasure to meet Mike a few times when he accompanied his wife to art shows and a lesson; I wish it had been more frequently. He was always quietly helpful, always smiling when I saw him, in spite of the ordeal he faced in his last months. An accomplished man, I know he will be missed by his friends and family.
So sorry Logene. Jimmy and I will miss him at the Coastal Cafe. Loved to watch that man enjoy his food. The taste of that blueberry cheese cake will forever be etched in our minds and wishing we had one last piece. His wit and his impish little ways was the thing that always stuck out in our minds. One of a kind. You couldn’t help but love him. Take care and let us know if we can do anything at all for you. One day at a time is all you can do, and it will get easier as time goes on, but he will forever be in your heart everyday for the rest of your life until you finally meet again.
I was certainly saddened to learn of David’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this time of sorrow. David and I said many Hellos when we met while grocery shopping. We also shared many birthday greetings with each other.

The Northeast Ohio Nurse Honor Guard wishes to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of nurse, MaryAnne French, LPN. We thank her for her contribution to caring for others and representing the nursing profession with trust, dignity and respect. Your nurse colleagues will take over from here. Rest in peace.
I’ve known Joan as well as her husband Floyd for many years. She was very sweet, friendly and of course a firecracker at times which made you love her more. I will surely miss her and am sure the good Lord has her in his arms. My sincerest condolences to the family. God Bless you all..
Chip was a wonderful friend and mentor to my brother, Kevin Wittsell. They worked closely together in the HVAC industry, many long hours in the heat or cold. Chip was always available when folks needed help. I also remember his excellent cooking skills, as there were many cook-outs at their house. I send my deepest condolences to LoJean and the family. As busy as Chip was and as hard as he worked in life, may he rest in peace with the Angels. Sincerely, the Wittsell Family
I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex,and then dopamine for my Parkinson disease, as the disease progressed they didn’t help much. A year ago I started on PD TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Aknni Herbs Centre (w w w. aknniherbscentre .com). One month into the treatment, I made a significant recovery, my symptoms were gone including tremors . It’s been months since I completed the treatment, I am symptom free and I live a very productive life all thanks to Aknni herbs centre !!!
Judy was part of our Stained Glass group of ladies who used to meet out for monthly dinners. There was never a dull moment when around Judy with her witty sense of humor. Condolences to her Family.
May God give you peace, knowing she is now fully healed and Happy in the presence of Jesus our Lord and Savior.
I loved Linda and she was always a kind and giving person. Rest in Peace Miss Linda🙏🙏🥲

I was truly blessed to he able to help care for you. you were special to me and will always hold a special place in my heart. To the family I’m truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing linda with us at Cedar Manor. She will be missed.
Joan was and will always be a, part of the Naval Weather Service Association and its Hampton Roads Chapter. Her energy and planning during reunions, chapter events and meetings was a joy. We still consider for planning, “what would Joan do”. Fair winds and following seas.” Joan, you are missed but always will be remembered.
I hadn’t seen Danny in a long time, other than through social media. I was saddened to learn of his passing. He was one of the first to reach out to me and my family when we were dealing with our own tragedy. I will be forever grateful for his kindness.
His distinguished military career speaks volumes about his character. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.
May he Forever Rest In Heaven ❤️
So sorry for this nice gentleman. Prayers and blessings may they be bestowed upon the family In this time of great sadness. Our love and our hearts are with you, sweetheart and the family
My wonderful, beautiful cousin, Laura. It was a delight and pleasure to catch up on all our past.. I enjoyed every moment that you shared with me about your life since I left Virginia. You are truly a gentleman treasure and I miss you greatly.
It is with a heavy heart that I just learned of Judy’s passing. Friends since “brownie troop” days at Washington elementary school in Caldwell….navigating the tricky waters at James Caldwell High School together…traveling across Europe the summer before our senior year in college (we were in Heidelberg for my birthday and July went all over town looking for my favorite raspberries…using some very broken German…the red berries with the “bumpen” on them)….serving as brides maid in her wedding….and so many other memories. I am saddened that time and distance (I live in Atlanta) got in the way of me seeing and beeing with her more over recent years. SHe will always occupy a very special place in my heart…
Bobbi Thompson Cleveland

Jimmy will be missed, he was a friend with a great sense of humor (and quick witted). He was an intelligent and very talented man. He was loyal to his friends and country. He was very proud (as he should be) of his military service. He loved his family. He was a person that always let you know where he stood, and where you stood with him.
it’s taken me some time to come up with the words to say. Nanny i love you and miss you more than you could ever know. I miss us going to thrift stores, and our saturday morning yard sailing. i miss seeing your face light up when i would walk in the room, especially if i brought the girls to see you. no amount of time spent with you would ever be enough. you were right, you are the best friend that i’ll ever have. thank you for being my nanny ❤️
Lacey, I want you to know you will forever remain in my heart. I’ve but now I know you’re rejoicing with your baby girl, Tonya and I know you are not suffering anymore you will truly be missed rest and heaven, my old friend❤️❤️
Linda was truly an Angel on earth. I will cherish the memories I have with her and forever be grateful to her for the love and kindness she showed me and my family. You will be missed, you are loved Linda. Rest In Peace in Paradise beautiful❤️ Love you, Gwen
To my cousin’s Alfred Jr., Laura, and Candace and the entire Hooker family, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Father, and Brother and my Uncle “Nookie”. I remember him as I was a child, being a good guy and always cool and unselfish. Although it’s been a minute since I last saw him, he is already missed. I am praying for you all. Losing my Mom was and is still such a hard loss so I understand your pain. But, it will get better. Don’t let anyone tell you how long to grieve. It will take time. Always think about the good time’s and how great a Dad he was to you all and a big brother to you Uncle Brad. And Aunt Carolyn, I know you miss him and loved him as well…. this too shall pass. Just know he is no longer in any pain or suffering.I love you all to life. To God be the glory because He never makes any mistakes. Your cousin and niece, Evangelist Crystal Ellis
To our cousins Al, Laura, Candace, and Aunt Carolyn. Those words could not be more true. Uncle always made sure that we had what we needed. He will never be forgotten, and always in our hearts. I pray that our family bond will never be broken. No matter the many miles that separate us. I Love You All.
From my heart to yours. I feel your pain. I am praying for you, that God will continue to strengthen you all. Sending my love. From your oldest cousin Carrie.
Scott, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure you know that there was never a dull moment when she was around. I met her years ago at the library, We both attended the Wednesday evening yarn group. We had great laughs which left great memories. Being I was from NewYork your mom always talked about loving those black and white cookies. So whenever I went home to visit I made sure that I brought her back a few. She did admit that she was NOT supposed to eat them and promised me that she would ration them out and eat them a little bit at a time. She will be missed by many.
My condolences to the Hooker Family. May you find comfort in knowing that Mr. Hooker is at peace. May the Lord shield your family at this difficult time. From The Lanham Family
I was shocked & saddened by Rosie’s sudden passing. She was a long time friend from Pancakes & Things. She will be missed by so many people that she came to know. RIP Rosie in your Heavenly home.
I loved Linda for many reasons but one that stands out is that you could sit and talk to her about anything and everything for hours. P.S. It was fun scaring her on Halloween when the kids went Trick or Treating!
I was sorry to hear of Linda’s passing.
I worked with Linda, at the Ford plant, and have fond memories of
her as a very conscientious and friendly employee. She was the hourly payroll
coordinator and the people at the plant loved her. She was always willing and
capable of resolving any payroll issues that the employees had.
Linda often spoke of her family and I certainly wish them well.
When I heard I Kathy’s passing….my heart sank. She was an amazing person who spoke of her husband daughter and twin grandchildren often. She was extremely passionate about the work she did and I am proud to say that I worked with such an amazing person…nurse….wife….mother and grandmother. She will be missed by many.
Dear Lenore and The Walker Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy’s death. It’s been many years we all lived together in Ballentine Place, but the fond memories still exist. Jimmy and my brother, David, belonged to the same fraternity and shared other experiences growing up together.
Please know that I send my sincerer sympathy. Sandy James Newby
Thank you for everything you did for me and my boys. Alot may not know about your contributions in support of the US Navy Men and Women onboard the USS Guam so many years ago. You gave them memories that will last them all a lifetime. God Bell you and keep you close. Heaven gained an amazing angel. Keep them laughing in heaven my friend. You are missed.
Alan was a long time family friend that we lost touch with. He and my dad were friends and grew up with him around us until my early twenties.
Happy to hear he is surrounded by friends and family.
My sincerest condolences for you at this time. You have my deepest sympathy and unwavering support. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.
Bless those who mourn, eternal God, with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love.
I will cherish all my childhood memories with you in them. I remember how kind you were and always smiling. Sending prayers and love to your family. You will be missed
I am so sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I had always hoped to get back to Virginia to visit her again. I met her at Tidewater community College where we were studying health information technology classes from 1984 til we graduated in 1986. I enjoyed her sense of humor and treasured her friendship. We kept in touch throughout the years, often calling each other on our birthdays. Please accept my condolences!
I have such fond memories of Mr. Walker. Mostly of him in florescent MC-Hammer pants cracking jokes to all of Stacey’s friends at our constant sleepovers! I thank him and Sherry for opening their home to all of their daughter’s friends – we found so much peace, connection and laughter hanging out in that big playroom over the years. He so clearly enjoyed life, didn’t take it too seriously (in the best kind of way) and loved his family. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing and send love and condolences to all who knew and loved him.
Dave and I almost got married but I let my family rule me, but anyways I always love you. Tell my mom I love her and give kisses to my grand daughter. R.I.P Dave you will never be forgotten. Make sure they have plenty of Mt. Dew up there for you 😉
I was truly blessed to have work with Linda at the Ford Plant for many years when she was in the computer room and in payroll. I worked in HR and Linda was my go to person, no one else like her. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Linda will be truly missed.
Brenda was a wonderful person and I will miss her smile and laughter as we spent many evenings over the last four years sharing Pizza Hut while she did my hair!! Love and miss you Brenda! Thoughts and Prayers to the entire family.
My condolence to the Family. I was not fortunate enough to spend much time with Jim, the last time being at a fraternity brother’s funeral if I remember correctly. I remember him as a good Teke brother and will close with Simper Fi my friend.
Ron Saunders
Tammy and I met Joe and Sue through a mutual friend, and we all became friends instantly. He was a great man all around, a role model and mentor for many. Until we meet again, Joe – We love and miss you.
You will surely be missed by many Dan. I will always talk about your many phones calls where you cussed me out and then you would call back a few minutes later apologizing. You are the smartest steam guy I’ll ever know.
So truly sorry for your loss. A beautiful person inside and out. Byron was always such a gentle and sweet person. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
We were neighbors of Mr. Booker and very sorry we didn’t get a chance to say good-bye. We always called him “Mr.” To show our respect. He was a quiet man and a good neighbor. We’d chat and visit when he pushed his trash can out to the street, and he was always pleasant and appreciative for little things we’d do in looking out for him. Bye to our friend, Mr. Booker. We will miss you. Save us a place in that grand mansion in the skies. Al and I send our sincere sympathies to his family as you mourn your loss. Jean and Al at 3306 Settlement.

I am so sad to hear of Lee Roy’s passing. We grew up together, went to school together and had so many happy memories. We lived a mile from each other. Our mothers, Hazel and Ann, would take all of us kids to the landing which was close to our house. We would spend hours crabbing and fishing. Then we would come home, cook the crabs and have a feast. Such fun. I used to walk a mile to his grandmother’s house so she could teach me how to make rag rugs. I loved the time we spent together and learned so much about older people from her. Lee Roy always wished he was taller. He didn’t need to be taller. He had a heart the size of Texas. There were so many times he helped my father with his tractors and mowers. On our last phone call Lee Roy caught me up on so many of our classmates. He knew everybody. I will mis him. His wife, his brother, Dicky, and sisters Frances and Serena (named by my Mom and after my grandmother), are in my prayers and thoughts.
Mrs. Johnson, I wish you and your family peace and comfort as you grieve the loss of Mr. Ron. Whenever I interacted with him at NNSY, he was always kind and willing to assist.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Rufus (John) was like an uncle to me. I loved your dad. He has been a part of my family since before I was born. His first job was working for my grandfather. He was such a wonderful person. He will be severely missed. Sending love and condolences to you and your family. Leslie
I’m so very sorry for your loss, Pam. Your HCS classmates; Brenda, Ann, Amy, Patti, and Linda send condolences during this sorrowful time. He is now with Jesus. May you and Hannah find comfort in each other and cherish your memories.
Love from us girls!
Katie, Dennis and Chuck I am so sad to learn this about Ron. He was such a great man and I am confident he was an even better husband and father. I am here if you need anything. May rest in eternal peace.
Family of Judy! We grew up in a time that we will never forget. Judy was ONE of a Kind. Always a Smile & laugh. I can hear her now. May Our God Comfort you & give you Peace in this time of loss. She will be missed. Until we meet again. Thank you for my memories.
My heart breaks with yours. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace, strengh, and confort during this difficult time. ypu are in my thoughts and prayers.
Our grandmother was a light in our lives and will be dearly missed. We are all so very thankful for all the time we had with her. When you miss her, have a cup of tea in remembrance, that would make her smile.
Aside from being my father-in-law, Walt became my own dad when my birth father passed in 2011. He was the epitome of a husband and father. Men like Walt set an example for the rest of us and if I can ever be half the man, I’d do well. Rest easy, dad.
Dom, I’m so sorry for your and your family’s loss. You always talked about you Dad with such love, joy, and pride. May your memories bring you joy and peace. Prayers and much love.
RIP. Thank you for letting me have a wonderful life.
To Lea, Randy, Becky and the rest of the family: I am sorry for your loss. I am a text or phone call away if there is anything I can do. Sending my love ~ Pam
Renee and Family, we are saddened to learn of Rosalia’s death. We enjoyed having her in our Gourmet group and hearing her stories of growing up in Norfolk. She was a sweet, classy lady and we will miss her. Our deepest sympathies on your loss. May your memories of the good times you shared bring you peace and comfort. Kevin and Donna Kearney
I will forever admire your wisdom and kindness. I’m so lucky to have met your son and had the chance to meet you and join your family.

I worked with John, mostly “out of town” and we shared an apartment in New Jersey back in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
I enjoyed the card games at the union hall after we retired!

I am terribly sorry for your loss. I pray that you and your family are able to recover quickly focusing on your fondest memories. God bless. John Kennedy
We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr Glover. Enjoyed the time we spent in BOY SCOUT TROOP 306. All of his knowledge passed on to the young boys in the troop was used by all of them. Thank you for your SERVICE SIR.
Send love❤️.. My Husband had Parkinson’s disease and was dealing with shakes, stiffness and balance issues – it was like his body was in rebellion. Meds ( Levodopa ) and therapies were not doing much, so we thought about trying alternative methods as we heard interesting stories about Ayurvedic herbs with this disease. We explored the path and it changed his life with all symptoms totally reversed – Shakes calmed down, stiffness took a hike. My husband is living proof that natural Ayurvedic herbs can be a game-changer in the face of Parkinson’s as he is totally cured and fine now. The journey wasn’t always smooth, but the results speak for themselves. If anyone out there is facing a similar battle, consider giving Ayurvedic herbs a shot. We got the Ayurvedic herbs which cured him from naturalherbscentre. com I recommend Ayurvedic treatment from Natural Herbs Centre for Parkinson’s disease This is how my husband reversed his PD. This isn’t some scam or some made up nonsense.
I would like to offer more deepest sympathy for your loss David worked for me for 6 years and every day was an adventure he could aggravate me to no end but at the end of the day he was always there and did whatever I asked oh him. The best he could he is missed by everyone on the job and will be hard to replace .I hope there is a buffet in heaven buddy .R.I.P Rob Bunting , Atlantic Homes LLC.
“God himself will be with them, And he will wipe out every tear rom their eyes
and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3,4)
I will always remember and cherish your wisdom, advice, and encouragement you bestowed on me all the years I had with you. You are great missed and forever remembered.
Mr. Joe will be remembered by all the lives he touched. His hats, his whistling at work and even that little pocket game he played. Rest in peace, Mr. Joe.
Mr. Donley has left a precious legacy in his family. It was a privilege to meet him and his dear wife at least once over the years. I know this last stretch has been tough but I know you are thankful for all the wonderful memories you all have as a family. Hugs to you all. Prayers as you process this loss and remember this husband and father and grandfather. May they be sweet as you celebrate his life
Dan, we had so much fun in the navy it was fun serving on the USS Ainsworth 1090 with you. We worked at the same company after the military Amsec. My friend you are in a better place now with no more pain. I’ll see ya on the other side. we will sail once again. bless you
We know the days and nights are not easy during times like this; life so short and the passing of a loved one so final. It’s okay to cry – those tears that you shed is love with no place to go.
Sometimes there are no other words to say that you haven’t already heard. Jim will be missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Bob, Gail and Skip Hainsey (neighbors)
I’m heartbroken about Janet’s passing. I know that she loved her boys, boys and her husbands so much. She was so supportive and helpful and funny. I’m going to miss her very much.
Sending love, hugs and prayers to Katie’s family. Katie, Dave, Brooks and Reed moved into Aquia Harbour in 1994. They became part and f our family. I always thought of Katie as my little sister. We shared many holidays together. Our sons grew up together. She was an inspiration to us all. I miss her. Her memory will be forever in my heart ❤️
I got to know David better recently and I am glad I did. he helped me with cooking dishes with suggestions to make it taste better. He listened to my whining, asked me what he could do in my house, and generally was a smile. He frustrated me (everyone does) but not on purpose. I am sorry I didn’t get to meet his daughter or grandson and watch Dave do the “grandpa” thing.
I sailed with Katie on Semester at Sea in 1982. I didn’t know anyone when we boarded. Within a month, Katie was like a very tall little sister. We formed a tight group of curious and adventurous friends who traveled around the world together at ages 18, 19 and 20. It was a life changing time. Katie had such a spirit and love of life. I loved her energy and enthusiasm for learning and meeting people. She was open, honest, passionate, and fun. I’ll never forget you Katie.
Sweet Judy. The first time I met her, I knew where Brandt got his love of people and his positivity. She was truly an Angel on Earth. Always kind, always happy and always so loving.
We are so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of your father/husband/Grandfather❤️ we will all forever keep him alive in our stories ❤️💔❤️Sending prayers and hugs to you all🕊️
My friends and I met Rob while playing online on PS4 and he quickly became a staple to our group for a long time. We used to sit up and swap stories with him and just have a great time together. He was like our crazy uncle of sorts and we loved him dearly. We only found out about his passing today and we are heartbroken. My condolences to his family. I know he loved his family and his daughter especially. He talked about them quite a bit during our conversations online. We never met in person but he made a huge impact in our lives and we miss him dearly. RIP Rasta Rob The Green General. We love you man.
I met Rob while playing online during college. He always was encouraging especially when it got tough at times. He always had an interesting story or a different way of looking at events that could turn the day around for the better. My friends and I bonded over the stories he shared with my personal favorite being Rob following the Grateful Dead on tour. Through his stories I learned he liked surfing and the next time the Billabong Surf Competition was in town I made sure to go get some shirts and mail them to him. He never asked for them, he was always giving but I just wanted to repay the positivity he brought to me. Our group will miss you dearly Rob but we take comfort knowing you’re no longer in pain. Much love to you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear about this incredibly tough loss. I knew Rob for a few years through online gaming and he instantly became a close friend. Everyone he has knew or spoken to, was always so touched by his loving words and incredible sense of humor. I am so sorry I did not hear of this news sooner, and truly hope that your family has found peace through these hard times. I love you Rob, and I know that you and Lily are always side by side through any adventure God has in store. Rest in peace brother, we all miss you so much.
Martha is one of my favorite people of all time. I’m grateful I knew her & she was a great friend/mother/sister to me in Birmingham. We visited NYC in 2019 and my daughters got to meet her & they too enjoyed her sense of humor right away. Martha will be missed. Love to all her friends & family
I am so sorry to hear of Kent’s passing. I met him back in the 90s at Cutty Sark Marina. He always provided outstanding advice and taught me a great deal about messing around on boats. Most notably was his support of the Sea Scouts. His presence will be missed by many.
My condolences to Erek and the family.
Your mother and grandmother was a lovely person. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to meet her. She was so sweet and I enjoyed every minute of our time together. May she rest in peace. You are in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers.
David Andrews MacArthur was an amazing guy from the few times I had met him at first Christian Church, one of the churches he loved going to and having a nice dinner and felt like God was using David to be a blessing to everyone there just as much as people there including the staff the staff there was being a blessing to him may you rest in peace my brother see you soon from your brother in Christ Jeff Coleman.
Katie was a beautiful, passionate person! We will miss her so much. Thank you to her family for having shared her with us all these years. We have so many wonderful memories, and will always hold these dear. She had a marvelous delight in life. She really lived every moment with passion, and I’m grateful that she shared her zest for life with us all. To the dear Beverstock family: I am so, so sorry for this loss. Sending love and gratitude, and holding her forever in our hearts. Hugs, Enid
So sorry about the passing of your dad. I was one of the first group of Tang Soo Do students he taught (1976), and he made a life long impression on our hearts and minds! He was a ‘lead by example’ teacher who taught us to work hard, to face our fears, as well as; to embrace new cultures, new food, and most importantly new ideas. He was a “Renaissance man” who exposed us to much more than martial arts.
Tang Soo! Mr Coia….
Rest in Peace

It was an honor and a joy to know Earl these last few years. He was loved and cherished by all who spent time with him. We were all blessed to know him and take comfort that he is reunited with his wife in heaven.
Margot was one of the best friends I have ever had. She was a caring and loving person and a wonderful mother to her children. Since both of us came from Germany we could talk about many things we had in common when growing up in our native country. I shall miss her dearly! To Erek, Keith and Paul my sincere condolences.
I’m so honored to have been a friend of Katie’s. She was such a joy to be around. She had a very kind heart and always made me feel welcome. Her love of life and energy was infectious. Katie will always be in my heart. My sincere condolences to Katie’s family and friends.
Mama Jo will always be a big part of my granddaughters upbringing, along with the other children at daycare. We shared in the challenges of raising children. We lived, laughed and enjoyed the children’s lives together. Our family will always think dearly of Mama Jo and remember all of the good times that we had together.
I hold you both close to my heart, Beth and James. You are my family and I am here for you both. Jimmy, I will miss your “I love you, Kim” and hearing “Beth Ann” or “Mama.” Prayers to you all.
I send my condolences to the Batts family. I met Ronnie in 1975 we would love to cruise the back roads of Yorktown in the spring and summer. Ronnie was a good friend to have and very knowledgeable about many subjects. He will be miss by all, R.I.P my friend. I will always remember the fun times we had. Love, Sharon
I Have Known and Loved Kenny for Many Years and I Will Continue To Love and Now Miss Him Until My Last Day… Sending Mine and Mason’s Love and Condolences To JC and Kenny’s Family In This Difficult Time 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I am so sorry to hear of Elton and France’s passing. I had the privilege of working with Elton at Yorktown for 12 years. He was one of my best friends at Yorktown and a great tennis partner. I never beat Elton, though. He was just too good! He was also the best Shift Supervisor I had ever worked with. I wish Liz and her family my sincerest sympathies.
Gene was such a helper. He helps people find jobs. I worked for him when I did not have a job. He gave Hope to so many people. His humility shined through every time he shared. I related so much with his story. He will forever be in my heart.
I have known Kay since we were in elementary school and almost every memory of school she is in it! She was so much fun, and I loved being around her. She will be greatly missed.
My deepest condolences to Pastor’s family. I was privileged to know him during his tenure at River Hills Church in MN. He worked closely with our Stephen Ministry and was a kind and inspiring leader. We were all better for knowing him. Truly a life well-lived.
So sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. She was a kind and wonderful lady. I will always remember how good she and your Dad were to me when we were kids playing Little League. May God rest her beautiful soul. Mike Cannon
When I heard of your Dad’s passing, I was overcome with so many great childhood memories from him coming in & always having the with the loudest greetings for me and laughing asking what Nancy and I were up to (although he knew half the time no good) to sitting on the back of his truck with a sign for the male dancer to arrive at my bachelorette party with a cold one in his hand. He was such a jolly man with a huge heart and the best whole hearted laugh! Sending love and prayers to each of you💕
I was just thinking about you today and remembering how much fun we all used to have with you. You never made us feel unwelcome and you were always ready to do whatever we wanted to do. I do remember a nature walk we took with you one time and I thought it would not ever end haha! I truly wish I had been able to spend more time with you and Aunt Winnie. I hope you’re having a blast in Heaven Uncle George! Love and miss you always
We were saddened to hear about Ken. You all were great neighbors and friends. He was always generous and ready to help. So many memories – Dad and Ken chopping down trees, fireworks that led to a small marsh fire behind your house, the mouthwatering aromas from the smoker, the McNelly clan visiting us in England, his booming voice, and his trains. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Keith and Anna
I lost contact with Tim sometime during late 2020. I kept reaching out to him via Facebook and got no response. Unfortunately, I just learned that he passed away. Tim was my first real boss in northern Virginia. My wife and I moved here in 1996 to work for Aol. Within a year of being in a quasi-insane group, I was able to transfer to an amazing team under Carlton Geckler. Carlton hired Tim to run his support organization for the AOL web hosting business. Carlton placed me in Tim’s group. I quickly came to learn that Tim was a kind but firm leader. He was great a giving feedback and coaching me through politics. Equally admirable was the respect he had for us techies keeping all those servers up and running and customers happy.
One day he asked me to join him at a meeting being held in Reston, which was about 10 miles from our offices in Ashburn. He said the meeting was an hour long but told me that we would likely be away for over 2 hours because he wanted to treat me to lunch. We attended the meeting with Matt Korn at the Aol data center building in T
Reston and then headed to Ariake which is the best sushi place in NoVA.
It was a really nice lunch and then he popped out a folder a said I was being promoted to Manager. I was shocked and then confused because he was the manager of the group. Then he said a line that solidify part of who I am as a manager. He said (paraphrasing): “You are the right person to run this team. I will always be here to help you. Part of my job is to make sure I have people take over my job so I can grow as well.”
We eventually went in different directions but we would periodically check in on each other via Instant Messenger and then Facebook.
Tim was a family man. I remember how he always had photos of his little ones in his office and in his jeep. The kids eventually grew up and he and his wife separated. I checked in on him more frequently when I learned that he was no longer with his family. I even visited him once at his home in a ski resort town in VA. It was just him and his dog.
Tim served his country and Tim was the very first web master for the White House under the Clinton administration. He continued writing code for small businesses and individuals to earn some extra money on top of his retirement.
Tim was a good man and I am glad I got to know him and call him a friend.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Karen. she was an amazing woman and will surely be missed. She loved her family. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jodi
ob dear friend; we go back many years and our families have stayed in touch for over 50 years. Rest in Peace.
Flora and Jennie, I am deeply saddened. A short bible verse for you:
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Please remove my name from Bob’s obituary. I almost threw up seeing this for the first time today. On September 30, 2020 justice was finally served for my siblings on my mom’s side and I. (I can only speak for our side) This man was a rapist, child molester, and the most physical and mentally abusive man that I have known in my life. I cannot think of one thing that I would ever cherish thinking of this animal! I don’t mean any harm just want my name removed please
My Dearest Karen: You will forever remain a part of me. Your love and friendship was so dear to my heart and will forever remain there. Our goofy talks and genuine laughter over the good, bad and the ugly in Life will be deeply missed.
I am genuinely grateful that you are totally at peace and no longer in pain. You fought the good fight, my dear friend. Your love and dedication to your family was always first and foremost in everything that you did. Just another of the many things that I admired and loved about you. It will be hard on them for quite awhile. But knowing you, you’ll be looking after them from up above.
My prayers for your family and all of us that loved you-🙏🙏
See you again someday, my dear friend❤️
With Love Always and Forever, Lynne
You served your country well Sir. I’ll never forget those reel to reel recordings of old country western songs , that green and black Camaro that you showed up in, or the phrase “ look it up”, every time I said “ I wonder…” Remember that time when you got ready for work, walked into the living room in the dark? LOL you’re in the next dimension by now and I’m sure you’ll do great things there too. See you later! TIA
My deepest condolences for you Linda and family. Cooper was one of a kind and a very special person. I’m sorry that we have lost touch through the years but much has happened. Your family was always special.
RIP Cooper,
Love, Jayna
Bob & family, I am so sorry that I got my message of hope through to you so late.
“Fair Winds and Following Seas” Poems
However, a poem by Dave Kelly arguably stands above the rest.
It’s a poem designed to remember someone who has fallen or perished in military service:
Fair Winds and Following Seas
may forever you feel, upon your cheek, the salty breeze.
Your spirit lives on in many a heart,
your words captured and never to depart.
May your loved ones be comforted knowing
that heaven is where you are going.
For all that they have to do is look above,
and they will be reminded of your love.
I didn’t know you personally, Bob, but we shared the “Mustang Space” within the Cryptologic Community. My heart-felt condolances are with your family. Safe Crossing, Shipmate! As Always, “Fair Winds & Following Seas.”
Robert was my grandfather, he’s been such an amazing man all of my life, I’ve always felt connected to him because he’s the one who cut my umbilical cord when I was born. That man made sure to help whoever he can and make sure everyone had a smile. I love you so much poppop and will always miss you.
My heartfelt sympathy for Ina and all his loved ones which are many.
Taz touched so many peoples lives and was always there to lend a helping hand.
Although he is gone his love and compassion will live on.
I’m truly grateful that I knew him.

I served with Bob at Fort Meade MD in the late 80’s until I retired. One of the really “good guys” and ultimate professionals! My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends at this sorrowful time. RIP Shipmate!
Uncle Taz, your absence doesn’t go unnoticed. we all miss you so much. I guess I’m going to have to pick on my dad in your memory, someone will have to do it. I love you.
I want to express condolences to Judge Tice’s family. I met him when I was hired at the bankruptcy court. He was always friendly, enjoyed talking to staff to get to know. I worked close with his chambers on Circut City and others. He will be missed.

I have lots of memories growing up with Bob on Cherrytree road. My family lived just up the road from the Morrison family. Bob, my brother Garrett and myself spent a lot of time together as youngsters. Bob came to Colorado several years ago, It slips my memory as to why he was in Colorado but he dropped by my house to visit for a while because brother Garrett had given him my contact information. We spend several hours reminiscing the old days on Galloway Hill. Bob was a great guy and is sorely missed. My condolences to Bob’s family.
Aloha e Nancy,
This is Ginger Moratin, we were in lamaze together 1980 and we raised our boys together when you lived in the islands. In my effort to locate you, I came across Stephen’s obituary which totally knocked the wind out of me. Oh how my heart grieves for you dear friend. I am so very very sorry Nance, so very sorry. The depth of your sorrow, truly has no bottom.
The prompting to reach out came as I was going thru Michael’s, (you renamed him Michael J Squirrel) greeting cards for holidays and birthdays. Among them, 5 birthday cards are from the Kurz family. Yes, I’m one of those crazy moms who kept everything! I’m so thankful that I did because the cards have become a place where I can visit remnants of Michael’s sweet childhood. We lost him May of last year Nance so these cards have become everything to me.
If it wasn’t for your cards I would not have had the thought to reach out. I’m so glad I did…I’m not on facebook or have social media accounts, I just googled you, ha!
I’m not even sure if this note will reach you, but I am hoping some how it will…my email is tutulvsu@gmail.com if you’re inclined to reach back, I’d love to hear from you!
Karen was a beautiful person inside and out always had a smile on her face, We had great times camping. She will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to the family
I was delighted to reconnect with my cousin Janice on Facebook after many years without contact. You always had plenty to say and you wil be greatly missed.
I will surely miss the FB posts from JJ. She had such a sense of humor. But she also gave such words of encouragement to everyone. Sorry to lose you sister-in-law.
Dearest Duke and family,
Our hearts are full of mixed emotions; sorrow, sadness, love … Bill was an exceptional human being; fabulous partner, loving man, generous to all.. I am so fortunate to have called him my friend!
I hope during this time of grieving, you may also remember all the great moments and memories that you created together. Bill will never be forgotten by those he touched with his southern charm, sweet soul, unconditional love and boundless generosity.
Reaching out to you with love and support,
Jackie, Heidi, Christian and Doreen
Flora and Jennie – Sincerest condolences for your loss. I’ve known Bob since 1970 when we were stationed in the Philippines. We reconnected several years back at our monthly luncheons here in Maryland. Bob had a wonderful memory and knowledge of the Naval Security Group in which we served. I think I learned something from him every time we talked. We will miss his stories and conversation. He was a good friend and will be greatly missed.
Rest In Peace, Shipmate..
To all of Karen’s family,
I am so grateful I was able to get to know Karen pre-pandemic through our Thursday lunch’s & zoom. How brave she was to face all of her diseases with humor & Grace. She spoke so lovingly of all of you including the dogs. I am so grateful she chose to share her journey with us. Peace be with you all.
Bob, we met at St Matthew’s so many years ago, but then go to know each other through CSAT!
I will miss you and your stories and talks.
Thank you for sharing your love of our Filipino community and the Cebuano culture.
I will cherish the Cebuano music books you gave me.
You will always be our loving “priest” in the Sinulog reinactments.
Doug and I both began our careers as bankruptcy judges in 1987, meeting in “Baby Judge School.” Over the years, we cemented our friendship at other meetings as well as sharing our interests in history. He helped me place an item in the Library of Virginia concerning my Great-Grandfather who attended Washington College when Robert E. Lee was its president as well as with another matter. He sent me a copy of his book on the (former) Confederate Memorials in Richmond and I sent him a copy of a book I authored on a Louisiana Plantation. I am most distressed to learn of his passing. Since our respective retirements we spoke by phone a time or two. He was the consummate gentleman and scholar.

To Lee, Jerry and family. My sincerest condolences of Debbie’s passing. I will always remember her bright smile and sharing of scriptures. She will be missed. May the Lord comfort you.
I am so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was such a great friend. I knew him from a chat room we used to be in call eastern shore chat. That was many moons ago. He lived at that time it was my understanding on Chincoteague. We went out to dinner and talked on the phone back then. Then when he meant the lady he lived with in Oak Hall we chat on the computer still some and would see each other out places and hugged and talked. He worked with me for a while at Royal Farms New Church for a time. We talked a lot then, And after he moved to the apartment complex we talked here and there. He was a mess in this world. He is going to be so missed, I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked for Rae a little over 8 years. Rae gave me my first engineering job. After I moved on he would visit me and we would talk about the times we worked together. Rae was a good man and I will miss him.
Raeford, Quiet Birdman with the Norfolk Hangar. Regular attendee, good fellow, ….he will be missed at our Hangar meetings. The QBs will be attending the funeral ceremony.

I was so sorry to hear of Rae’s passing. He was a very good man to work for. I started as just temp and was there for 14 years. Very fond memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Curt and Lisa and your family.
Rae is going to be missed for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working for him at Hoggard-Eure and will think of him fondly. He always greeted you with a smile and asked how you were doing. He was a heck of a man. I feel lucky to have known him as employee and friend. Thanks and RIP Rae.
I went to Sooner High with Janice. We didn’t really know each other then, but became acquainted through Facebook.
I had told her an amazing story about an experience a friend of mine had had which included seeing a field of sunflowers after her father’s death during a trip to Colorado following his funeral in Missouri.
It was very comforting to me to hear, thought I’d share with Janice, and she told me how much hearing this story meant to her. it’s too much to discuss here, but if that wasn’t proof of life after death, I don’t know what was. My friend and her daughter both had this experience together, as they were trying to get to Colorado so her daughter could be in a wedding that was only two days after her dad’s funeral, and had this experience while driving in the mountains at night.
I miss Janice’s great sense of humor, and getting to know her later in life.
Raeford was my fraternity brother and friend for 68 years. I always enjoyed meeting him and Tidewater when I was there on business for lunch or dinner. I will miss him very much!
I dearly believe Mr. Eure is in the heavens maybe talking with my father Roger Martin about Real Estate here on earth if not I am sure my mother Carole is talking Rae crazy!
Prayers to your family 🙏🏻 Believe in the Power of Peace ❤️
Janice’s FB posts always brightened my day. Loved her funny posts and Larry stories (so many pictures of you asleep, Larry.) Loved photos of her garden and her sunflowers. 🌻 condolences to you and your family, Larry. I’m sure Angels sang her to her rest. Will have a Dr. Pepper for you, Janice!
George leaves a life-long trail of students who loved him and were touched and inspired by his inner glow and gift for teaching. Some of us were honored to count him as friend and kindred spirit. How fortunate we were, to share even a small part of his journey. What he gave of himself, we have taken along on our journeys, and that has made all the difference. Much love to all his family and dear friends, from a grateful No Name Player
Brian, Bob Coble and I will miss you. I enjoyed working with you all those years. You never ceased to amaze me with your breadth of knowledge. I always learned something from you.
My most heartfelt condolences to the family of Mrs Janet Werndli. I made Janet’s acquaintance purely by chance one day 13 years ago. I live in Australia but I bought a uniform on the internet and when I made contact with her she was gobsmacked that Bill’s uniform was now on the otherside of the world and for many years we wrote to each other and I felt a wonderful connection between us. I will always remember her warmth and kindness. Rest in Peace and God Bless
A friend and fraternity brother since 1956. Attended home coming together for many years until recently.
We have lost a true man who lived God’s words. He gave generously of himself to his family, friends and society. God bless his wife Donna and his family in their time of sorrow!
May God’s comforting spirit be with the McMillian family. Your loving care and support for your mother/loved one is admirable. Thank you for being a shining example of faithfulness and devotion! Rev. Braunda L. Ridley, Sentara Enterprises.
Dear Norma, family and friends of Ken,

I am so sorry to hear this news. Brian was our “go to” guy at SPAWAR whenever we had system problems. No problem was too large or too small. He was a very kind and thoughtful man and he will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
This comes as a shock to me. I am very sorry for your loss. I saw Tom when he was performing with Midnight Fury out at Southfork all of those many-many years ago. I don’t mean to sound selfish, but the music that Tom made with Midnight Fury were some of the happiest moments of my life. I was wondering if he was still playing and was hoping to catch him at some other venue. I never realized he had passed away. I will always remember Tom fondly with the other members of Midnight Fury and the great music they used to play. You are gone but never forgotten my friend. – David Scott – Friday, 15 March 2024.
-I had the pleasure of providing insurance coverage for Hoggard Eure and Rae for most of my 40 year career in the insurance business. Whenever I would ask when he was going to retire, he would smile and say: “why would I want to retire?? I love what I do!”
-Rae was a fine man who will be missed.
Beverly Cherry
Mrs. Hobbs was my First grade teacher; my favorite teacher. Her words and wisdom in that First grade classroom followed me all throughout my life. I was truly blessed to have her help lay the foundation for my future. Hobbs family, I am deeply sadden for your loss.
I had absolutely no problem with the phone number that is on this website. I got a quick answer, and it’s a Saturday, so I’m not sure why you had trouble contacting them.
Thank you for posting Sarah’s obituary in the Rome News. I was blessed to be her Sunday School teacher at WRBC. Sarah lived Christ every day. She was always smiling and ready to tell others about her Lord. My prayers are with each of you as you remember her faithfulness to our Lord and her love for family. I look forward to living with her through Eternity as we all praise our Lord together,
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away . I pray Gods sweet peace to Dr Hobbs and the entire family. May your memories always be stored in your hearts until that great awakening day when you all may see her again. For now be comforted knowing she is resting in the joyous arms of the Lord 🙏🏽.
To my beloved Sister. Remember all the good times in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Gary laughed because I bought a coat every where we went. How about China Town. Love all the memories. I loved you move than you will ever know. This isn’t goodbye Sis. It’s till we all meet again. Sorry for all the things I did wrong.
Dear Donna:
What an amazing story of a beautiful life of love, effort and accomplishment. Rae surely made the most of his time here on earth. We are thinking of you and all the family during this sad time. Our deepest sympathy—
Meg and Bill
I have known Lisa for a few years now. She gave me the pleasure of introducing me to Mr. Raeford a couple of years ago. He quickly became someone that I cared about. He always had something funny to say and I enjoyed being around him. I wanted to say I am truly sorry for your loss. But selfishly I have to say I wish I had more time with him. If there is anything I can do to make things easier please let me know.
“Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Thank you Mr. Dorsty for sharing your passion of poetry and love of teaching.
We were sorry to hear the passing of Aunt Jean. Our condolences go to the rest of the family may god comfort you all at this sad time. love Jenny and Kevin from canada
Donna-
I was so sorry to read of your and your family’s loss. Rae was the consummate gentlemen and his good work both professionally and voluntarily will surely be a lasting legacy. He was a lovely man and will be missed by many.
Warmly,
Betty
So sorry for the loss of an amazing man. prayers sent to his family during this time. I will always remember Connie’s sense of humor and his love for his family.
Edna will be missed forever but also loved and remembered forever! One of the purest and truest people on God’s Earth! She became the face and character of the Norfolk Farm Market, beloved by employees and customers alike- they all became family… that was true with her church, the Masons, cleaning clients— just everything she poured her heart into… but nothing was ever more important than people! Love you forever Edna,
Mick Shaw
My deepest condolences for the family. Hope will truly be missed. She was always so sweet and kind to me whenever we crossed paths. She was always a strong presence in a room full of fun, jokes, and laughter.
Lisa, I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. What a great man. I had many laughs with him over the years and enjoyed working with him on so many projects. He will be missed. I am sorry I will miss his memorial service, the memorial service for my 99 year aunt is the exact same time in VB. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Donna, Lisa, Curt…my deepest sympathy at the loss of your Husband, Father, and my good friend. I only learned of Rae’s passing last evening while traveling on business in South Carolina. Rae and I first met when I became employed with George T. McLean Company. My older brother, Walter, worked with Rae at the Equipment Company and I worked for the Building Materials Company while going to College in the early 70’s…I later worked there as an Outside Salesman while still going to School and somewhere in all of that I met Ray who also became my friend and mentor. We became trusted friends throughout our lives as we crisscrossed each others path…most favorite to me were the times we spent Sailing together in Tidewater and on trips on the Chesapeake Bay, Tangier Island and WindMill Point. As my Traveling Career took me around the United States, Rae and I kept in touch and he was always inquiring about my wellbeing, he was proud of the Career I had built and my success, and I would thank him for the part he played in it. I always felt a part of his family as he was certainly a part of mine…he knew my parents and I knew his…he knew my brothers and sisters, we ended many a Sailing session with me cooking barbecued chicken for our families, Lisa and Curt were very young children then. I wrote Rae letters when each of his parents passed away as I was living somewhere between Chicago/Texas/Pennsylvania and I followed up with a call. Tim and Helen were such nice people…at different times we were as close as brothers. When my parents passed away, I came home for the Service and there was Rae….we caught up and had lunch together before I returned to Florida. Another visit, I met Donna with Rae in Va Beach and she suffered through our “Reunion”…so kind and understanding. I wanted to take them to Dinner and we went to Steinhilbers…Rae confiscating the Check before I could…I was staying at the Oceanfront just a few blocks from them (fortunately) as we both were overserved…and all the time between us disappeared, two old friends talking about our families, our friends, and I thanked him for his friendship…and he thanked me for mine.
So here I am in my Office tonight, I have been away all Week and I wanted to read his Obituary…and not surprised to read about his kindness, friendship and service to others…that was Rae to a tee…and I knew he loved his Children because I was there in the early days and saw them grow up, and later heard about them from him always proud and telling me about what they were up to.
I was 18 when I met Rae and he was 35….that puts things in perspective. He was successful, accomplished, and everything I wanted to be, and he took the time to know me, to encourage me and be a friend. I am a better person for knowing him and I will miss him for the rest of my days. There is no such thing as a perfect person, but Rae was a perfect friend, I hope I returned the favor.
I wish you all peace for your loss, God Bless each of you.
Oh Connie, I will miss you so much my beautiful friend and your posts. Fly away my angel and keep us all safe, till the day we all meet again.
I will never forget you and you will always have a place in my heart….Love you always Demetra Daskalopoulos

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of a fellow QB pilot. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Losing a colleague and friend is never easy, especially in a profession as close-knit as ours.
I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and the entire QB community as you mourn the loss of someone so special. May you find strength in the memories you shared, and may the legacy of your friend’s passion for flying continue to inspire and uplift all who knew them.
You are not alone in your grief, and together, we can navigate through this challenging period.
Wishing you comfort and solace as you honor the life and contributions of your dear colleague.
Thank you Mr Dorsty for being a part of the creative minds who opened the eyes of us small town kids back in the early days of SWR! If only we knew what we had! Enjoy your next journey 💕
Dear Donna and family,
Richard and I were so saddened when we learned of your loss. Although, we didn’t know Rae well, we knew what an amazing husband, father, step parent, mentor, successful businessman, Shriner, pilot, and volunteer he was, as he so unselfishly gave of his time.
It is your treasured memories of him that will keep him forever close and give all of you peace.
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
With our deepest sympathy and love,
Richard and Lynn
Sending prayers to Edna’s family and friends. She touched so many people during her life and she will certainly be missed. In my youth, she was like a 2nd mom to me and I will always remember how she treated me like her own. I can still hear her laugh when someone, especially Jimmy, would say or do something kind of outrageous. She didn’t want to laugh but she did nevertheless. I will hold all those wonderful memories of my time with her close to my heart. Rest in peace!
We at The Hurrah Players are very sorry to read about Brian’s passing. Brian was a kind and generous man. He faithfully contributed to The Hurrah Players and made so many dreams come true through his generosity. Our hearts are with his family. Eileen Carpenter
Brian was a dedicated supporter of The Hurrah Players for many, many years. His support came from his heart and warmed our hearts. Deep condolences to Brian’s family from his Hurrah Players family.
Mom and I are very sorry to hear of Katie passing. She was always a lively woman who loved her family and always spoke about them. Although we haven’t seen Katie in years, we will always remember our visits with her and all the laughs and good food! A giant freezer full. See you on the other side Katie!♥️♥️♥️
Bonnie was an ex-girlfriend and a friend. Everyone wants to know what I would just web search her just to see how she was doing and I heard about her stories on multiple occasions. I know she had a good heart and she was a lovely person. While she did make some mistakes Overall I think she was a very sweet spirit. And she passed away way too soon .
Ken brought much joy to so many. I enjoyed his enthusiasm for life. Whatever idea someone had
at model train shows, he would expand it times 5.
I always treasured time spent visiting.
My love and sympathy for your family. Edna was a very special lady. My memories working for her at the Pumpkin Patch will live on forever. She was a blessing for me when I needed one.
Love to you all,
Karen Hume

Brent,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God will take care of you. Take care of each other. In sympathy and love, Gayle Sutton
I am so sorry to hear about Kay’s death. We lived next door to Kay for years and became “family”. Every week she cooked and brought some of her delicious food over, including the most delicious Italian food and desserts. She was the light of our life everytime she came over. My brother, Bubba, and I were close friends to her and to her sons, Ronnie and Joey. Everytime I pass my old family home in Brentwood, I think of her. Joey, Richard and I extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Janice and Richard Neff
Dear Bill,
Lois and I worked together for Ruby Hearn at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. I am so saddened to hear about Lois’ passing. She’s been in my prayers since I heard that she had taken seriously ill. This is a fragile time … a time to be gentle with yourself and to give your heart permission to grieve, to feel and to remember. My deepest condolences.
Billy will always hold a special place in my heart! It was a pleasure to be able to cook for him for the past 13 years. I hope him and meekins are together in a boat drinking a beer!
Doug, Sherry and Dayne,
I loved Billy so much. He was my best friend. He was the best roommate and my heart is broken. I will miss him every day.
Jesus said……in my Father’s house there are many rooms…..I have prepared one for you. I know Billy’s has a huge TV!
Sorry for your lost . Thought and prayers.
Clayton and I worked together many years ago at Baldwing & Gregg, Engineers & Surveyors. He was a very good worker and took his job to heart. I enjoyed our time together and am veryy sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with any family that he may have had.

To the Reid Family – I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s passing but knowing he is no longer suffering and has joined some of his best friends who went before him, there was one hec of a welcoming for him when he got to Heaven! Anyone who knew Billy, knew he was one of the most kindest, sweetest, generous and loving man. He would give you the shirt off his back or his last penny in his pocket. May he Rest in Peace and know how deeply he will be missed.
I have so enjoyed getting to know Marge and our visits both by phone and in person. She has been such a delight, her smile is just contageous. I know that this leaves a hole in the heart of Missy and Dee Dee, Please know that you will always be in my heart and my prayers. Marge is at last with her Mom and Patrick, where there is no pain.
We were so blessed to have Marge become a member of our family. She and our Daddy were so well matched and we are grateful that they shared 15 years together.
Fly high with the angels my dear sister. Every life event you have been there with me. Life will be hard without your physical presence but I know you are with our loved ones and watching over us. Rest in Peace . I love you❤️💚🙏🙏😇
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of “Little Jimmy” as that is what we called him long ago. I had always wanted a brother, so when my mom married Big Jimmy I had an older brother. He loved playing the drums. He had a set in his room, and wow he played them loud and proud !! The way he would sit at the bar, in the kitchen and cut his fried eggs, like cut and cut, the noise the fork and knife made clinking against the plate was unbearable and then he’d look up and laugh 😆 he was doing it on purpose I suppose to aggravate us. Those sounds have stayed with me for all those years and his big bright smile was contagious, along with his laugh. I regret not keeping in touch with him, but I always kept the memories in my heart 💜 may you all, his family and his friends know, that I send my love and prayers to each and everyone of you and may you all find peace, love, and comfort in our Lord. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
Matt was my company officer at USNA, and I got to work with him when we snatched the Army mules from West Point before the Army-Navy game in 1991, my senior year. Fantastic human and leader. So sorry to hear this news. I’ve always looked up to him.
I look at the list of names in her life. Her spouse. Children. Grandchildren and many more. Then to imagine the friends as well and we see the magnitude of her impact. Our life grows with the people in it and she obviously grew a life of blessings for herself and others. I am glad my friend Missy has that with her now .
I remember Jimmy Trimble from Rockville High School. My daughter Donna Penn, was a good friend,..My prayers for the whole family in this time of grief and sorrow.
She was my dear Aunt, sister to my mother Dorothy, and mother to my dear 5 cousins. My earliest memories of her were playing the piano and singing at our grandparent’s house before she married. She loved playing piano, singing, and music! Later in life she became my constant connection to my mom, and we shared memories, joys, heartaches, thoughts, and so much laughter and love! I will miss her so very much. All my love and deepest sympathy to my dear cousins, and all family and friends who loved her.
I work in the building where the mosaic mermaid is located. It is stunning. I found some original sketches she did in the office of the Aviation Museum. They are incredible. If anybody in the family would like them, please contact me @ 248 921 5906. In the next couple of weeks, I was planning on framing them and putting them in our office. I am so sorry she passed. I was hoping to meet her.
I will truly miss this lady. She was bright and funny. We had a great time picking blueberries at my moms, and I have wonderful memories of lunches and pink flamingos. 💗
I’m very fortunate to have known Frances. I enjoyed interesting conversations with her over coffee as she would share with me her fascinating life history as a child growing up and life overseas. She’s very proud of her daughter a teacher, her son-in-law and her two very talented granddaughters. Her home was filled with family pictures and mementos of their accomplishments. Heaven has welcomed a precious soul.
I met Marge many years ago when she was a “Pink Lady” at Highland Hospital in Shreveport, La. She was my favorite volunteer and over the years that she worked in my department we became friends. I especially loved her sensitivity and sense of humor, as we shared our feelings and stories. We became fast friends and stayed in touch even after we both relocated to different parts of the country. I have always thought of Marge as a role model, that if I can age as she did, I will be a better person in so many ways. I will never forget you, your smile, and the love that you so generously shared with so many during your life.
Jimmy was my 1st company and football teammate, a real good and funny guy. I haven’t kept up with many after KP but we would trade comments over social media. My condolences to the Trimble family and his community. I didn’t have much for kickers, but Jim was different, he was my guy! Godspeed Trim!!
To all the family I know that Pat is in a better place and I am so glad I got a chance to get to know her she was always smiling and so full of life enjoyed hearing her tell stories and just listening to the way she lit up every time she would speak of her life she was a wonderful soul and she will be greatly missed I love you Patricia Englant fly high with Jesus and until we meet again I will cherish your memories. With Love,
it’s not good-bye, honey, it’s…”I’ll see you later”. I miss the daily weather updates “let the faucets drip tonight” “wear your long johns tonight”. It’s the “did “Crossed Eyed Mary” enjoy the watermelon I got him?”. It’s sitting and talking on the front porch for hours, between cups of coffee. Just a pair of old bedroom slippers, together,
No honey, it’s not goodbye, we’ll see each other later.
Jimmy, Jimbo, Uncle Clam, One-Armed Busboy, Djibouti Jim~whatever name we called you, it was always with love and gratitude for having you in our lives.🤍😊You certainly made our lives richer with your humor and far-ranging knowledge of all things seaworthy and seafaring and more delicious with your clam feasts. Jimmy, you will forever live on in our hearts and be thought of when we gaze out to sea on the shore of our beloved Atlantic Ocean in Fenwick Island. Godspeed, James South Trimble.🙏🏻🕊️☀️🌊🛳️🤍🏖️
Dr./Mrs. Hickey/Family: While I did not know Matt, we did know, at least a little of the Hickey family, from our days at Southward Ho CC. My brothers Hugh/Sean (I have 6 younger brothers; 5 of which caddied at SHCC after I did), I believe, caddied for Dr. Hickey on many occasions. All summer, EVERY summer – for years- the dinner talks at the Duffy house centered around: who you caddied for, how they did, was it work (the beach (traps…(:); a walk in the woods (tree trouble…(:)….or comedy central (most of the time)). Dr Hickey was ALWAYS kind and gracious, not to mention a GOOD golfer. I would have to think Matt was the same, esp after reading of his exploits.
MY brother Hugh reported to me last night that Dr Hickey and Jerry Loeber (who refed some of my HS basketball games) won the member-guest in 1975!!! Wow! Very good competition there!
Meanwhile, we would see Mrs Hickey constantly taking kids to activities. I remember thinking at the time that the Hickey’s were a happy family…just doing ordinary things.
My brother Neil (USNA ’84) also had Matt come and speak to his Norfolk Academy physics classes on occasion…and reported that he was the “star of the show”!! Kuddos to Matt for helping kids!!
Please accept our sincere condolences…and rest in the joy that Matt lived such a good, happy, busy, productive, helpful, service-oriented life that made this crazy world a (much) better place. We need MORE Matt’s, not less!! That is what I will be praying for – for him, for you, and for all of us here.
Please send me the details of the USNA Chapel service when it occurs, as I live in the Annapolis area….and will try to attend. That I can’t guarantee, as my wife has Alzheimer’s’, but I will make every effort to do so. To say “thanks” to Matt….and to say “thanks” to the outstanding Hickey family for treating the Duffy boys so well…so long (50+ years) ago!!! Dennis Duffy 3450 Merrimac Rd Davidsonville, Md 21035
Rest in peace, Jimmy (Jimbo) … I have been praying and thinking of you and your entire family. I would always smile and reflect upon my days with your loving sis whenever I passed by your street in Fenwick or when visiting my parents. I loved your big smile and giggle. Now, I pray for some peace in the hearts of your beautiful family … while you watch over them. Love, Mary (Dionisio)
Paw Paw was truly a great man who gave his love and time to everybody. We even named our first born after him. Thank you for all you have done for this country and our family. You are loved and missed every day. 😘
Thankful for Dan, he was an awesome person.. he welcomed me with open arms from day 1. We became family, he always would ask how I was doing and make sure I was ok… I will forever have the utmost respect and honor for him.. he showered me with love as if I was his own.. Thank-you & I love you grandpa.. I will miss you dearly!!..

“There is a port of no return, where Ships may ride at anchor for a little space.
And then, some starless night, the Cable slips, leaving an eddy at the Mooring place.
Gulls, veer no longer. Sailor, rest your oar. No Tangled Wreckage will be washed ashore.” You’ve Crossed the Bar, your Journey’s over. Rest in Peace, R. Michael McNamara, R.I.P.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sure she was an amazing mom/woman. Thinking of you and your family during this time. Sending love and prayers. Love Jenn
Too soon to be reading this after the News of your Dad.
Joan and Rae were two very special people in my life and we had so many good times together, many of them along with both of you. I used to enjoy our Cook-Outs and Sailing, Holidays. We had some truly fun times!
Both your Mom and Dad were very close friends to me, my brother Walt, and both of my Wives Sandy and Linda.
Your Dad and I stayed loosely connected over the years largely due to my traveling and living away. I am very glad that he and I reconnected at my own Parents Memorial Service when they passed away. We had lunch that Week before I returned to Florida…it was a great opportunity for me to thank him for his friendship and encouragement over the years.
My Memories of them both will always be happy and I believe they each never stopped loving one another. I know they wer enormously proud of you both.
I cannot make the Service as I would Normally…I am battling Cancer myself and have a pretty strict treatment regimen that restricts my travel.
Just know that I am thinking of them and the both of you and you are in my Prayers! Howard
I just found out that Kurt passed. I admired Kurt for his intellect in many subjects. I think fondly of his antics – you never knew when Kurt would get one over on you. Judy, I hope you are well. Kurt – Rest In Peace and know that you made the world a better place for all of us!
We shared wonderful memories of our teens, what a time in the fifty’s. Enjoyed keeping in touch through the years. I will miss our monthly phone rant! Lol! Rest in Peace. Love, Woody and Mary
I met Martha after moving to Gainesville in 1987. She and my mother were first cousins but we had never met. After Martha’s sister learned I was here, Martha called. My husband and I met her and became friends as well as relatives. I thank God for the times we had together. Martha was, and I believe, still is one of the most loving, mature, godly women that I have ever known. She had such a close relationship to God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). May He comfort each member of the family, her friends and all who love Martha.
Mary Ann…my deepest sympathy to you during this time of great loss. You are in my thoughts and I pray that God will bless you with strength. Danny will be missed by many! With love…..Sharon
Donna was indeed a love-filled and gracious spirit who led a joyful life, in spite of her illness and the challenges she met along the way. She was proud of her family and held on to long term friendships that meant so much to her. She was a problem solver and always had solutions to suggest no matter the problem. I cherish her and her memory. With love and deepest condolences to her family and many friends.
How we will miss our sweet Donna! There was truly never a sweeter person. She loved everyone so deeply. She has left a mark on this world that will continue for generations. Much love to you all!
It’s so hard to believe this wonderful, beautiful person is gone. Please take comfort in knowing that she is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and is looking down on all of you with that beautiful smile on her face.
Ann and I both started our civil service career at Ft Monroe working together in the same branch. We became great friends and coworkers. She had a kind heart and would do anything she could for you. I have very fond memories of her and will cherish them. My condolences to her family.
May you rest in joy and peace, Dear Aunt Marge. Very sorry for your loss, Cousins! Marge’s husband was my Uncle Pat. He was Brother to my Father: Bob. When the Pat-Marge Clan lived in Richmond, VA, I had the privilege of getting to know them and love them more deeply than mere dna connections! How I loved her over our lifetime!
❣️Di
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
Wow! Resting in peace and without pain. An angel for sure. I will think of you often and will enjoy the memories of our conversations. Butterflies and Pennies. Love and Prayers to all who will miss her.
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.
So sorry about your loss.
Rest in peace dear friend. You’ve earned it. Love to the family.
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.
Leslie, I was so sorry to read of your mom’s passing. I remember how close you were to her. Losing one’s parents is a difficult experience to cope with even though we know that they will not be with us forever. Hold fast to all of your memories. Thinking of you and your family.
We are so sorry to hear this news. We are thinking about Michelle and sending prays to her.
To Sandra and Family, We are all deeply saddened for the passing of ‘Aunt Sarah.’ May God continue to comfort the family during this most difficult time. The great memories keep us going forward. In Jesus’ Name, the angels are rejoicing at Sarah’s arrival. Much Love, Sherri Mulkey, Gregory Mulkey & Karen (Mulkey) Staton
It is so encouraging to know she will be resting for a little while, then we will see her again.
Sincerest condolences on the passing of the lovely lady that you and the boys called wife mom. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet her through the years. You two were a wonderful couple.
Linda Chavis

I’m so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I have many memories of him from high school, the swim team, and since. Rachel, Andrew and Jacob we love you and have been keeping you in our prayers.
So sorry to hear this! I worked with Mike at Tri-Cities, and he was always so helpful. Praying for Rachel, the boys, and the whole family.
Your family has been heavy in my thoughts and I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing, as you navigate through this tragic loss. I wish he had more time, but feel confident his adventurous spirit will live on in his sons and with the family as you reflect on memories. Thinking of you all…
Ran with Bill for 12 years during public schools. Spent many many hours playing games and visiting with him at his home. He was a close friend and a good guy. My prayers are with Carol and the kids.
Thoughts and prayers to Mark and family, Carol was lovely person who always had a smile and a good word for all. She will be missed by all.

Sorry to hear about Dana she was a wonderful lady
I am so sorry to hear that Cousin Ted has passed. He was just a couple weeks younger than me and a good ‘buddy’ cousin. We had so much fun growing up. He will be missed. Susie
I never met Macmillan but she had to be a very special woman to catch cousin Ted. Susie
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I know Nick enjoyed going up camping and hiking with Mike. Our family sends prayers for your entire family.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out the the family of “Mrs. C”. What great memories we have of her. She was a life long friend and neighbor…
To all of the Mrs. C family My thought and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. I have so many great memories of her. Sending thoughts and prayers to all of you
So so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. This was heart breaking to hear. Praying for his family to find comfort.
To the family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss? I pray that Jehovah will give you the strength you need at this difficult time in your lives. She was always ready to answer my many questions, and was a very good friend to me. I will also miss her, but I know all the wonderful memories I have will help to ease the pain of losing my friend. I look forward to seeing her in the paradise that is coming to the earth.
Sincere sympathy to the family on your great loss. Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you (Psalm 55:22). Please know that Joyce is in Jehovah’s memory, and He has not forgotten all the wonderful things she did.
Please know that your family is in my prayers. Joyce was a zealous servant of Jehovah and He will not forget her works. Jehovah is looking forward to the day that He will call and Joyce will answer. Never forget the love Jehovah has for Joyce as we look forward to the day that she will once again be serving Him in the paradise here on earth.
Getting to know Faye was a high point. A funny, loving woman. Enjoyed working with Faye and also being a friend after she retired. Jim was dedicated to Faye and always by her side. Rest In Peace Faye, you deserve it.
My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with him in the school system for many years, and remember fishing with him. What a great guy! Ed Pahl, Norfolk VA
So sorry for your loss. Praying for God’s peace and comfort over your family.
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!
Lee as my friend and Brother. I learned a lot from this rusty old salt. Sweet man and a loyal friend. Lay down your tools, your journey is complete. WELL DONE!
I remember the times Joyce and I worked in the door to door ministry together. She was very calm and mild tempered with her presentations and responses at the doors.
I learned a lot from the field service tips she gave me to better my skills in the ministry.
Jehovah yearns to wake up those sleeping in his memory. I also cannot wait to see her again … when all things will be new. (Revelations 21:5)
We are so sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. The Porter Family
My sincerest condolences to the Haughton and Shepard families. Because of the Shepard family, my family learned the truth and for that we are forever grateful.
In our later years, Joyce and I shared our love of gardening and our many memories of raising our kids. Joyce will truly be missed. 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.
My thoughts and prayers for all of the family, I know that she will be greatly missed but she will always be in your heart
While we started out with me as her supervisor, she became a beloved friend and confidante. Wry, sarcastic and funny as hell, you sure knew where you stood with Faye. I wasn’t certain until one morning when she gave me a kiss. To Angie and Jim; my deepest condolences, and I will miss my friend.
My dear brother please accept my condolences to you and your family. I won’t be able to send you the customary chicken and rolls but you are in my thoughts and prayers. When Tamika told me about your wife I was saddened. I know how much you love her and what agreat loss this is for you. Still being at her ressurection is now the focus we must all have. Thank you for the love that you showed for my girls. Stay strong. Numbers 6:24-26. Isa. 30:15.
Linda was a wonderful teacher for our daughter at Jamestown and a good friend at church. She will be missed! We are so blessed by having known her.
My heart goes out to the entire Murray family and their friends as they deal with the loss of a truly great man. I grew to know Ray first as a client, but over the last two decades, much more as a treasured friend. God bless Ray and all his loved ones.
I am so saddened to learn of Jerry’s passing. I will never forget the many late nights on the football field and parties afterwards. My condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with the family. We love and miss you all. Big Hugs!! RIP Jerry

What a sweet, godly woman Mrs. Perez was. She treated me, as a young college student, like part of her family, making me always feel at home. Praying the presence and peace of God will flood the hearts and minds of the family and friends she leaves behind.
Rest In Peace Papal. You were such a sweet soul
You will be missed dearly Mrs. Baird. All of your students and former students love you so much and miss you. Thank you for all the laughs and the good times and the memories made in orchestra class. ?
Rest in peace Mrs Baird. You were an amazing orchestra teacher. As a former student, I will miss you deeply. All of your students and former students love you. You will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to all of the family and friends who will miss her so. She was a wonderful colleague and dear friend. I’ve never seen a better math teacher; she worked long and hard to make sure the students succeeded. What an inspiration she was! Susan Miller
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.

Praying for peace to all who love Jim and long to see him again. He touched so many lives, including mine, and will always live through our hearts. We love and miss you Kansas City Jim.
To Brother Haughton and sons: Please accept my deepest sympathy! I draw comfort in knowing her condition is temporary! I have nothing but the best memories of Sis. Haughton. I appreciated the opportunities to get to know her as a person and she proved to be one of the most humble, dignified, reverent and serious-minded persons that impacted my life personally in ways that only Jehovah knows. I plan to continue my conversations with her in the Paradise. May you too draw comfort from that!—Isaiah 26:19.
You were a joy …to cruise with …now your on golden seas …we love you friend …..

I’m know he will be missed. ?❤️

My condolences to Lori’s family. She was a good neighbor down the hall from me. She will be missed.
Rest in peace bro.. will be missed ????
Jerry brightened all days. His smile, humor, laughter, and pure joy of life was contagious. He was a genuine friend and the most honest person I think I’ve ever met.
His love for God was evident, his love for Wilma immense, his love for his family was unconditional, and his love for friends was apparent.
Steve and I will always love this man, and cherish the memories made with Jerry – forever.
Love to all that knew this wonderful man. I know you need comfort, as we were all blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing him. Our hearts go out to Wilma, their children, and grandchildren. May you find comfort and peace throughout the days to come.

Sorry to hear about Randy. He was my long time wreck and cave diving buddy and I hiked many a mile on the Appalachian Trail with him. I owe him for a lot of reconstruction work he did on my house. Anything i can do for the family, please let me know. I’ll miss him.

Attachment
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.
Lori, will be greatly missed. Her Georgia accent, energetic and high-powered personality touched us all. It was a joy traveling to the Eastern Shore with every Monday for three years. We knew each other well. I’m going to miss you my sister. Rest in Heaven until we meet again. Your sister in Christ and friend.
Lori was an instant friend to everyone she come into contact with. She had the biggest heart and cared deeply for her family and friends. I only had the pleasure of being her friend for a few short years but she has left a permanent imprint on my heart. Rest in Peace Friend.
Condolences to the
Graham family May God give you all strength at this time of sorrow
My Dear Aunt Marcie, So far but yet so near! You are missed, the last of the generation. My heart goes out to all…now we must endure…until we all rejoice together.
Jimmy was a friend of mine in college. It was many years ago and my memory has faded, but whenever I picture him, we’re laughing together. Rest easy Jimmy. ♥️
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.
Sorry for your loss.

Thinking of all of the Dibbles and Finchers and of Marcel, who was beautiful inside and out, with a gift for laughter, adventure, family, and friends, as well as being an artist and art educator who touched so many lives. I was lucky to be a part of it over the many years, always full of laughter, starting in the early 1980’s in Athens through our last conversation two months ago, She will always be in my heart.
With love and remembrance,
Lauren

My father, Larry Rosenthal, was Pete’s cousin. My Dad passed on 3/4/21 also at 82 years old. My father would tell me stories about how he and Pete moved from Galena and rented an apartment in Park Ridge, IL. Dad had so many fond memories of him and Pete living in the suburbs of Chicago. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Dawn, I have just learned of your loss. I am so very sorry as I remember David as a kind, humorous and dependable person. While I have not seen you in some time, it seems like yesterday that you came to work with HLCRE and were such a joy to see each day at our front desk. That, or course, led to your meeting David and the rest is history. The two of you had so many wonderful years together and I am very happy for that. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Bob
Miss you

Love and miss you already!
A great man that will be missed. This man taught me alot in life on how to be a man and most of the things In life I enjoy. Well never forgot you and already missed those calls.
Your favorite nephew
Barbara and I extend our condolences to Marty and the family. We knew Robert for many years and shared membership at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Robert was an active member of the church and we shared many hours together supporting the church family. We will miss him and his strong support for the church. We know the Good Lord welcomes his talent and strong support for Jesus Christ.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May you find peace in memories of all those special moments you shared.
What a great person. RIP George you will be missed by many. A friend from Mel’s
Sorry for the loss. John was a amazing friend to us. We will always remember the good times that we had with him. He always was there to help out or just to talk with. He had became part of our family and was like a brother to me. RIP John, until we meet again.
I’m so sorry. My deepest sympathy to Carole and the Labelle family.
My dear friend of 45 years I will miss you. All the great times we had together I will always cherish those memories from swimming at big orange country to skiing out west and everything in between there are so so many. I’ll never forget you. See you on the other side
I’m thinking of you today…I love you Aunt Mary Ann…
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…
My condolences to Steve’s family and friends. I am a golf buddy of Steve’s and always appreciated his approach to life and golf. He is missed.
I am indeed saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was a spiritual leader for the PRC gang that I was privileged to serve on. The world is,indeed, a darker place today.
I pray that they memory of the good times you shared will quickly grow to fill the void you feel today.
Sharon, Mike, and family,
Sending love your way. May you all know God’s comfort during these difficult days. Peace to you all.
Love, Susan
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.
I am another golfing buddy of Steve’s, fortunate to have known him. Steve was a good kind hearted guy, and all of his ‘Us Boys’ golf buddies share in your sorrow. As Steve would do, with love and friendship, please accept our deepest condolences.
I met Randy through work. I am sad to hear the news. My condolences

To the family of Mr. Fred Whitaker, I would like to send my condolences and thank you for sharing your love one . He was a awesome man who would put a smile on your face when you was feeling down and out.He would grab his Bible and began to share the word . I pray that God comfort you and strengthen you in your weakest moments. Thinking of you. Adrian
I know there are no words that provide the comfort you need right now; just know that I care. My condolences to your family on the loss of your dear brother.
May you Rest In Peace Steven❤️
My prayers and condolences go out to Steve’s family. As ponder over all the good times we had on the golf course and the friendship that we shared, Steve is truly missed. Our Myrtle Beach Trip will never be the same without that rustic 7-Wood…!!! Rest in Peace my Brother Steve.
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.
I have fond memories of Jackie from our many shared experiences at Unity Renaissance and Alex Then”s Healing Circles. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say to everyone. I was saddened to hear of her passing. My heart goes out to Judy and all of her family. Her light still shines.
Julie, Joe brought you joy. I am grateful he gave you much happiness. Praying for your peace.
Paul and Carol Hickman
My brother, death may have taken you away from this physical soil, but I will not let time fade the memories of you. So rest well, and I pray that you are in peace. Glory to God! Amen!
Willis, today I learned of your passing. I remember the bicycle rides and wrecks. The cigars and the tall tales..and all of the fun we had. I remember how we became fast friends, argued, and laughed. You were a great friend and I will always remember you. Sleep well and rest easy 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,
Diana Wooden
Marsha, I am just now seeing this in March 2021. I am so very sorry! Mike was the sweetest! I pray that your fond memories bring you peace.

My heart breaks for the loss of Steve and for his family. I always felt he was family to me. May God wrap His arms around each of you and keep you in His care.
You gave me the most wonderful life I could ever imagine and it will be forever changed without you. Your love and memories will carry me until we are together again. You are with our son Chris and I know y’all are looking over us. I promise you I’ll be ok. It may take me awhile but I’ll get there. Love you forever.
Dear Alice,
I am so saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. I have such fond memories of our adventures together. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Debbie
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”…
To my Friend Kurzee and her Family,
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!.
It was a pleasure to get to know Mike. His commitment to doing good was one thing I admired most about him. Having him on my plunge team was an honor. I always knew that with the Alice and Mike team, I didn’t need to worry, all was under control. My heart aches for you.
May God grant you always…
a sunbeam to warm you,
a moonbeam to charm you,
a sheltering Angel
so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you,
faithful friends near you,
and whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.
Our sincere condolences to the family. John was a great friend and cousin. He will greatly missed.
I love you so much. Rest in heaven
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.
so missed
I miss you everyday my Uggie. You and mama keep watching over me and the family keeping ur memory alive . Miss u until we meet again
Dear Melanie,

I am so sorry for the Shumaker’s loss.your wife and mom was definitely a strong willed woman, she spoke her mind for sure. She loved her boys, nothing could come between her and her sons.

I really feel sad for her husband, they were so different in personality but loved each other dearly. Love you all, Lisa Ricketts

Lois was as sweet and caring as she was strong. She was such a joy to work with and have as a friend. I could always talk with her about work and my personal life. She was always encouraging and made you feel like you had a strong supporter. Her strength over the last several years has been inspiring. When we would talk on the phone, she was always cheerful despite the struggles. I will cherish her friendship.
My prayers go out to the family for the loss of an awesome mother and grandmother. You probably already know this, but she was well loved.
Lois, I will miss you dearly. My condolences to the family.

I am very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing.
I have known him since our days at Warwick High School, although since then I only saw him at class reunions. Steve excelled in academics, sports, and was well-liked by his peers.
I extend my deepest sympathies to his family and to those who loved him.
I hope that warm memories of time spent with Steve bring them comfort and peace.
Sincerely,
Jane (Renn) Eadie
Sorry for your loss!
Judy was such an energetic, caring presence at Star of the Sea school when Jim and her children attended the school. I remember working with her when I taught Patricia and Lisa. May her family find consolation in knowing how highly she was regarded and respected by other parents and teachers during those years. A woman of deep faith, she guided her children by her unassuming yet constant following of the Lord.
Phyllis,
Sending our heartfelt condolences for your loss.
We remember Lenny’s wry humor, good nature and excellence in medicine, and always think of him whenever we pass by your old house in Middle Plantation.

I am so glad that I had the privilege to work with Dr. Dunford in the Minor Care at Sentara Bayside and Princess Anne. I learned a lot from him and enjoyed all the great stories he used to tell us about his past as a Doctor. He always treated his Patients with kindness and especially the Children making sure they had a sticker before they left the ER. To the Family I am deeply sorry for your loss and God Bless all of you. Dr. D may you Rest In Peace.
It was my pleasure to work with this wonderful man for several years at SPAH in the ED. Rest in peace, Doc.
Phyllis…..So sorry….will miss his fantastic sense of humor and friendship……

I had the honor of serving under then Commander Bob Byng in Attack Squadron 34, stationed at Naval Air Station, Oceana Virginia. I was a squadron pilot and enjoyed the quiet yet firm leadership he exhibited. He had a way of extracting the best performance from his aircrews and squadron personnel without being harsh or demanding. His leadership set an example for me as I progressed in my career. Captain Byng will be missed.

I will miss Flo so much. She had a great listening ear. We shared our family joys and sorrows through the years. She loved her family dearly and talked about them often. She also loved her students and was the one who could calm any of them who needed some understanding. She was an extremely hard worker who never complained about any task set before her. She was great at her job and it was an honor to work with her. She enjoyed singing and had a beautiful voice. She always greeted everyone with a smile whether they deserved it or not. I will always remember her and our friendship. Her loss has left a hole in my heart.
“Lenny” was one of my early mentors and a true friend , personable, always congenial and light-hearted, first met him in Richmond at VACEP meeting, became good friends, then partners in lengthy career in emergency medicine with E.P.T.. I will always have fond memories of our friendship and work related stories.

I have known Steve and his whole family most of my life. Our parents new each other before we were born. We only lived a couple of blocks from each other growing up and we spent a lot of time playing a lot of neighborhood sports and other activities together. Steve was a great friend and as nice a person as you would ever know. He will be missed.
Bob, I’m so sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
My condolences and prayers for healing. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Dunford more than 20 years ago at Maryview Hospital.

Hi folks – Although I suspected Marcia didn’t have much time left, I never expected her demise would have happened so soon. My husband also suffered from lymphoma and died within a few months of diagnosis just last year.
Marcia was a treasured volunteer at Seconds Unlimited for years. Up until my retirement in 2019, she continued to work to the best of her ability.
Cancer is a bitch!
I’m incredibly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Missie Arenson
I’ll always miss Noreen. We had been friends since early 70’s. Hiking, walking, visits and phone calls. She was ALWAYS easy to be with. We had many laughs, teas and remembrances. She’d simply drop by and make herself comfortable. Food and beds made no difference to her, it was the company she would seek. And, Thanks to John, we got to see each other one last time here in MA. at the Concord Inn. YOUR presence will be MISSED, my dear Noreen. Love you forever and ever, Nora

I will always will remember Aunt Noreen. She was a free spirit in her time, always loving and caring to everyone. My fondest memory is visiting her and cousins Don, John and Kathleen when we were young adults. She opened her house to me and my wife and showed us a wonderful time during our visit with her.
During her visits it’s my Mom she always asked about the people in our lives and how they were doing; always expressing love and concern to everyone. She will be deeply missed.
God’s Blessing,

I first met Steve when he was an account executive at CBN and I was a very young media buyer at my dad’s ad agency. When he became a commercial photographer I was fortunate to work with him on numerous projects. He had such a quiet, but confident demeanor about him. I knew of his illness when he was diagnosed and missed getting to work with him very much. My condolences go out to his family.
If you left here without a goodbye it makes my heart sad. I am so sorry…I didn’t even know. To Janet’s family….I pray the grace of God keeps you and has kept you. Janet was a blessing and great spirit to be around. She was a fireball before her stroke and kept us all on our toes. She will be missed. Know that she a special person that will never be forgotten.
My love and prayers upon you and your family today and always as we celebrate his home going.

Mike was a sweet man! He will be truly missed. I appreciate his dedicated service to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Prayers to Alice and family and friends.
So sorry to hear about Bill. We hadn’t crossed paths in many years, but he was a great friend of my Dad’s and our family when I was a teenager. I still have some B&W pictures that Bill took of me and my sister when we were in high school. He will be missed.
Anne,
Joe and I shared many memorable events with Bill. It was always a fun and informational experience. He will be greatly missed. May God be with you and your family and help you to move forward in life remembering all the good times.

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 ?????????
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Love, Donna and Patrick
Robert and family, my thoughts and prayers are with y’all during this difficult time. May she Rest In Peace.
We are so sorry for your family’s loss. I remember Martina as kind and funny. She took me along on a part-time job catering in Virginia Beach and I got to know her better. What I remember is how much she loved her family.
I am so sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. She was a wonderful and beautiful lady and was always kind and thoughtful to every one. It has been a long time since I have seen her. I now live in Texas.I will always remember her as a kind and gentle lady.
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.
Mary

Bob and I were so saddened to learn of Mary’s passing. Her friendship meant a great deal to both of us and we cherished the infrequent times that we could get together. Our yearly trips to VA Beach would not have been the same without our annual lunch at Bubba’s. Mary was a lady in every sense of the word. Her infectious laugh and her good council were very welcome. We will miss her and remember her fondly. Our hearth felt sympathy goes out to all of her family. We loved her as a dear friend and are so glad we got to meet her children and grandchildren.
RIP Charlie
Laura, Kathleen, Robert and Family, Thinking of you. Praying God will provide peace and comfort to each of you during this difficult time and for the days to come. Love, Juanita
BOB CHOYNACKI I miss you this Easter I think about you all the time in my heart I have you with me all the time till we meet again fly high with the angels my love love always Faye….?
Noreen and I met as neighbors in the late 60’s. She was a kind, intelligent, free spirited longtime friend. She introduced me to hosteling on a trip to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in the 80’s. It was a wonderful experience and a lot of fun. She will always be remembered.
Mary was a wonderful person, Mother, and Grandmother! I will miss her humor, jokes, cards and emails.
Danny you are loved by so many and will always be in our hearts.
To Tanna’s dear ones,
Condolences from all of us at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. We were terribly saddened to hear of Tanna’s passing. Those of us who were here when Tanna was a member of our team remember her with fondness. She has left the world too soon and we send our deepest sympathy.
Thank you for your life’s example. Devoted Healer, Officer, American, Mother and Grandmother of amazing family, and Christian. Be at Peace.
Claire Schopen and Family,
May The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit honor the family with His continued presence as you mourn the loss of Joe. We, at The Chamberlin share your pain.

It is said that time heals all wounds; It’s not time, it’s love. I pray our God, the God of the greatest love, heals your broken hearts.
Charlie was a one of a kind, all round great person.
My deepest sympathies to you all, the family he loved and adored.
Suzie Werman
I cannot begin to imagine how much you will be missed. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet you.
Our deepest and most respectful condolences. So many hearts and lives were touched through her service to others. Seeds of love have been sown and have bloomed through her family and friends. Her influence and devotion to Jesus now lives on through them to touch thousands more. From the Lanier’s to the Tung’s, Our love and prayers are with you all.
Nancy and I were classmates at NCHS. I remember her being very popular in school. After many years, we reconnected planning high school reunions and Red Hat Society chapter, which Nancy loved so much. She is admired for her bravery and determination during her adult life with a dreaded disability. Always smiling and upbeat, she will be remembered for her sunny disposition. May she rest in peace.

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.
Chris and Colanne Schwemlein
I just found out about Richard’s passing and am so sorry for your loss. I waited on the retirees group at Golden Corral for years and always looked forward to seeing everyone each month, especially Richard, Connie and Mom. They kindly invited me to their picnics and made me feel at home, even letting me win at bingo. You will be missed – my thoughts and prayers to your loved ones.
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.
RIP Martina…your Little Creek elementary, Azalea Jr high, and Lake Taylor high school classmates won’t forget you…..

Extending my heartfelt condolences, Martina will hold a place in my memories.
A great friend and mentor, served the students of Tidewater Park Elementary in a loving caring manner. We shared that love of reading and family.
Keeping the family in prayer. May God continue to hold you high, find comfort in the memories.
My deepest sympathies go out to Kim and family. Ronnie was very special to me. We worked together for over 40 years and played a lot of golf and softball games. Ronnie was a very impressive athlete excelling in basketball, golf and baseball and had one of the best throwing arms I’ve ever seen. We had lots of plans to play golf on our retirement and every time I play Ronnie will be in my heart.
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.
I haven’t had the opportunity to meet Ronald, but from what Abby has told me, he sounded like an amazing and caring father. My thoughts go out to the family.
For my dad up in heaven! I love you and will miss you so much! RIP Daddy! ??
Courtney, Cameron and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a srong woman and a very loving and caring mom and grandmother. She was so proud of all of you. I wish she had let us know she was not doing well but I also understand it. She will be missed by us all. My prayers are with all of you. Cherish your memories.

Dear Dave, Dan, Ted and family; I was so very sorry to read in the paper about your mom. I remember as children playing at each others homes. 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.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you go through these next sad weeks and months ahead. I pray The Lord will surround you all with His loving arms during this time.
Thinking of you all.
Much love.
Billie Carter Wyatt
So very sorry your loss. My deepest sympathy. He will be so missed. He is at peace now and in the hands of the Lord.

Praying for the family during this difficult time. Ms. Thelma was a beautiful and lovely lady. She will be greatly missed.
Donnie……I mean, ahem…… Don! Boy am I going to miss our long talks. I’m going to miss your advice! I’m going to miss your encouragement! You were an awesome cousin, and we were definitely related, somethings only funny to us, and probably would have had us admitted into the psych ward if folks heard that humor!
I’m going to miss you, and I look forward to seeing you again! It’s not goodbye, it’s see ya later, gator! You we’re definitely one of a kind!
My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and other side of the family that I have never met! We all must carry on and tease each other as Donnie teased us!
I’m so very sorry for your loss and another loss in our family. Though it doesn’t replace the physical presence of his love at least he’s with our Lord and other family members and will now be at rest.
Sorry for your loss, Ron was a great man and will be missed dearly.
Ron loved his family and loved talking about his grandkids! He always said “That was the good stuff!” Prayers for you, Kim, and your family.
Becky,
It’s been many years since I’ve seen either you or your mother but my memory of her is one of fondness and respect.

I have known Ron for many years at NNS. He became my manager a few years ago. I had much respect for his work ethic. I have certainly missed his presence in the office. My prayers are being offered to his wife and family and my sincerest condolences.

Our condolences go out to Patti and grandchildren on the loss of your Dad and grandfather. “Pat” and I hung out for many years along with “ Jules”, we had the best times together. Rest In Peace brother.
My family had the pleasure of knowing Buster for years starting when he worked at Patriot Chev in Williamsburg as a bodyman with Eddie English; they also had a shop together, he said Buster taught him everything he new and that he was the best in Williamsburg. We have a lot of good memories (including him washing and shinning up whatever car he had at the time). So very sorry for your loss
My deepest sympathies to Kim and family during this difficult time. I have known Ron for many years as a coworker at NNS of both mine and my husband’s, Max Baer. They also played softball and golfed together and Ron was there for Max during his last days. Whether it was at work or play, Ron always had a strong determination to succeed and the preservance to make it happen. I’m sure that served him well in this last and toughest battle. I will always remember him fondly for his help in taking Max to his chemo treatments and the unwavering friendship and support he gave him during those tough times.
RIP sweet lady. I will miss you. Deepest Sympathy to the family.
Hugs and prayers for Marsha and family Mr Buster was such a sweet man It was a.honor to know him he was very special to me and my family We loved him and he will be missed We will cherish the memories we had with him. Rest in.peace Mr Buster we love you
I can’t tell you how much Uncle Buster meant to me. We shared a very special bond together. He has been in my life since the day that I was born. Now he’s gone but I know where to find him he is in my heart. Buffy I can’t begin to understand how you are handling this. I wish I could reach out and give you a hug but don’t ever forget how much he loved you and the same as me look to your heart.
We were neighbors on West Kingston Lane 40 years ago. Auntie and Uncle Ben watched our two older children Jeff and Jenny when I worked evenings at Norfolk General. My husband Ray was usually away with the Navy. Jeff remembers the butterscotch candies Ben always had and Jen remembers going to the hairdresser with Auntie and Becky’s wedding. Both agreed she was the very best cook. Ben and Thelma were the best caring for the kids with love and kindness.
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. ♥️
Her Journey is now of a new form of peace. She will remain in your heart always. Our. Condolences.. Love Jerry and Laura.
My deepest sympathies to Bryan, Sharyn and all of Flo’s family. Flo was a friend, neighbor and (for a while) roommate to me. Though we had not been close for many years, she walked with me through some tough times. Today, I remember her fondly and with deep gratitude for her friendship. Bless you all.
I was sorry to hear of Fred’s death. As an Interim Pastor for the presbytery, I was active in the biblical storytellers group with Fred as the convener.. I enjoyed “telling” with Fred & others at churches & nursing facilities. I was also the Interim at Coleman Place after Fred retired. Fred was a friend & I will always remember him with fondness. May God uphold you & the rest of the family in your time of remembrance & grief. Christ’s love & comfort be with you. Robin Wooddell
The news of Fred’s passing saddens me deeply. I knew him through his long relationship with the Network of Biblical Storytellers. Fred’s greeting and bear hug were always eagerly anticipated. 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.
Pat, I will miss your words of welcome at the club and the good times we shared at the special corner of the bar. You always encouraged me to do my best as an Auxiliary member, and I appreciate that. Keith will never forget the ranting you and Bob Frietag did every time he came to the Eagles club – you made him laugh always! One last Cheers to you, Pat!
God’s peace to you girls as you miss your papa❤️

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.

She was always a lady by the “Golden Rule”. Unmatched class, and the sweetest lady I’ve ever known! She has left a beautiful legacy, and will be deeply missed.
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.
Tommy, Becky, Timmy, And family, so many fond memories of growing up in the Thompson clan and Aunt Thelma and Uncle Ben were a wonderful and important part of the family. We still miss Uncle Ben and now Aunt Thelma has gone to be with him and their savior, Jesus christ. We hope to see them all in heaven and have a Thompson family reunion with Jesus! It will be rowdy of course and I don’t think Jesus Will mind. Sending you hugs and love and praying for your comfort in this time. Love you all, Sarah Ellon
My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Nicole was so dear to so many who loved her. I am thankful for her presence in my life and so many memories together. So much love to the Roberts family who always loved me so well.
David was a wonderful friend during my teenage years in the Oaklette neighborhood along Indian River Road in Chesapeake, VA during the mid 1950’s through the 1960’s. He had a very talented mind and like all of our close friends, a never ending interest in technology. I knew his family and cherish our memories in High School at Great Bridge. May the Grace of God be with him, his wife Jackie, his children and grandchildren and his siblings. David, you shall remain in my heart and mind for the rest of my life.
Healing thoughts and prayers for peace of heart to the family. We had the pleasure of knowing Aubrey for several years.
I learned today of Ron’s passing. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy to work with back in the old SUBE days.
Your fire has gone out but your light will never leave the hearts of those who held you dearest. Praying for God to provide peace to your family.
Thank you Memaw for the honor of being part of yours and Popus’ life. You accepted me into the family as your own. I will always treasure the memories of Thanksgiving when you made me that awesome lemon cake. 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.
You have my heartfelt sympathies in your time of sorrow and loss.
Julie supported our Museum Human Resource needs with a smile and earnest professionalism. She created a wonderful team building afternoon, her leadership was joyful, patient and generous. Julie is dearly missed. Our deepest sympathy to your family.
We are so sorry for the family’s loss, yet thankful that Nicole is once again whole and free from the pain of her disease. Nicole took care of my children when they were small. As my wife Debie often notes in her anecdotes, I was “at sea” when she needed help. Luckily Nicole was there to lend a hand. We are so lucky to have known such a beautiful person.
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.
He was a nice guy
Ron was a presence that will be greatly missed. May God grant the family peace and consolation during this time of loss.
Please know that your Navy colleauges are thinking and praying for your family as you face this difficult period and celebrate Leon’s amazing life.
We are sorry for your loss, may she Rest In Peace.
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!!

All of us here at Bacon Street are so sad to hear of Julie’s passing. While we didn’t know her for very long, we are grateful we had the time we had with her.
Thank you for your service to our country, and special thanks for producing your great son Jim who is one of the best, most professional officers and now government civilians I’ve known! Sheila and I send our sincere condolences to the Sposato family!
Prayers of comfort to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sherice was a great mentor and friend when we worked together. She always had kind words of encouragement and a beautiful smile. When I was interim Manager, she would come to my office every morning to make sure I was prepared for the day. She even brought coffee. I will always remember her kind spirit and thoughtfulness. God bless you all during your time of bereavement.
Julie was a wonderful advocate for all the employees she interacted with. May peace be with you and your family as you celebrate her extraordinary life. Take care!
We miss you dearly
William, what a wonderful remembrance you wrote for Julie, she sounds like a wonderful person. It brought tears to my eyes.
I am so sorry for your loss and will continue to pray for you.
If I can be of help in any way please let me know.

Growing up across the street from you, I always thought of you as “MY babysitter,” as if there may be other people who might care for me in my parents’ absence, but you held a place of honor because you were “MY babysitter.” Thanks for the happy memories, Nicole. And thanks for taking care of me. We will remember you with love.
Ava loves and misses you katrina. Your the best mom ever.

I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed meeting Lahna’s Mamaw this year and loved seeing her smiling face in the afternoons. Hugs and love to you all.
I am so sorry to here of Vernon’s passing please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the family. I have many fond memories of Vernon and Aunt Vera growing up and especially when they lived with us. Unfortunately over the years we only saw each other on rare occasions. I am so sorry but I am going to be out of town and will not be able to attend her service on May1st.
Brenda was such a wonderful person and so special to our family. She treated us like her family and took such good care of us. She was always thoughtful about the kids and what they were doing and seemed as proud as we were! Every Christmas she brought us some homemade goody. Chip always says her Pimento Cheese was the best he ever had. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Brenda was an amazing person. She was always so kind to my family. Although I only knew her for a short time, she made a memorable impact on my life. She was truly a beautiful human being. I wish peace and love for her entire family. Rest In Peace.
Your faith in God and the amount of love you showed everyone will forever be in my heart. I don’t think there was a mean bone in your body. I’ll miss your smile and your infectious laugh. I love you ❤️
Sending our love and condolences to the family. May God give you all the peace, comfort & strength only HE can give.
Chuck & Shirley Dunn
Deepest sympathy to the family and friends. I met Brenda when we worked at Avon Fashions. I will never forget the day that she received the phone call that they had a baby for her, I took that call and I was really excited for her. The last time I saw Brenda after many, many years was at the Farm Fresh in Smithfield she hadn’t changed a bit, she was just as nice as she was when I worked with her. She will be missed!
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.
Anne-Lise Gere
My sincerest sympathies to Brenda’s family. I have many wonderful, warm memories of Brenda. We worked together for many years at Avon. Brenda was a very kind and generous person. May she rest in peace.
Julita, mi amor, te fuisteis tan pronto. Descansa en paz, te quiero mucho, mi querida hija, no es un adiós, es un hasta luego. Besos y abrazos de tu mami que te adora mucho.
Sherice was my first nursing manager. She encouraged me all the way through school and taught me how to maintain a healing environment for my patients. She was a caring soul and will be dearly missed. Prayers for peace and comfort to her loved ones❤
Brother Ralph, Brad, Megan, and all of Suggs family,
We were so sorry to hear about Sister Brenda’s passing. We love your family and always missed fellowshipping with you at Peninsula. We rest in the promise that we shall see Brenda again. In the presence of the Lord, She no longer suffers any pain or suffering.
Brother Ralph, you and all the family are in our prayers. God Bless.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Me and my family would like to offer our deepest and most sincere condolences to your family and may her precious soul rest in peace.
Judy and family,
Thinking of Frank brings such good memories. Thinking of Frank with you Judy, brings even more. You touched all of us, the two of you together, a perfect match. Our thoughts are with you and the happiness you showed us what it means to be in love.

So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you & your family Staci.
Staci, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how hard this time is for you and your family. Please know that I’m here for you if you need anything. He will forever be in your thoughts and the love you have for him will always be in your heart. As days go by you will see simple things that will remind you of him — just know these simple things are his way of letting you know — he’s never far away. Hugs and Love.
The Williams family always made me feel welcomed and treated me like a daughter. There are so many fun memories like when he would pick us up from a concert and take us to Shoney’s to eat soup and salad. Irwin’s pharmacy where he would sit at the soda bar and talk and everyone knew who was. He was friends with everyone. Johnny really did teach us to enjoy the little things in life. Praying for peace and comfort for all of his family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember his smile. It would melt your heart.
Bill was just one of a kind! Bill would be the only older sibling who would talk to us seriously about anything, then laugh and carry on with us! What a joy to run into him at VT and catch up on all the happenings in the family and his new educational adventures! The last time we saw him was at Rick’s retirement ceremony and he, like us scooted away before the fanfare-crowds weren’t usually our thing. He was such a brilliant man, funny, and always knew something to say(brilliantly witty!). Whoever wrote this obituary hit the nail on the head, beautifully written-he will be so missed! Love and hugs to all the family, God be will you!??❤️❤️
Mr. Johnny is the dad of my life long best friend and I will always remember him as a great father. He was very thoughtful and was always so nice to me. He will be sorely missed by his entire family. My prayers are with you all.

This is a picture of the Kregers and the Fairers at Virginia Beach when Betty and I were really young. I am sad she has passed. I will really miss her. I am glad I spoke to her very recently. She was always happy when we talked on the phone and I enjoyed being with her at the Tuesday luncheons.
Kajs, My deepest sympathy to you on Jim’s passing. I had only just heard of the debilitating disease he had. What a light he was in the lives of everyone who knew him. It may be years since we’ve shared space, but I’ve always had warm thoughts whenever I’ve thought of both of you. I particularly recall his beer, his smile — and seeing your speed walking over the roads. God bless. Karen

We will miss you Uncle John. ? ?
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 deepest condolences to Charlie, Wilma, Leon & Family. I’ll always remember Marvin especially from back when I’d see him at the Little Creek Amphib Base Gym with his Dad (Charlie). About 1 year ago he installed a new HVAC system in my partner Ken’s home. Rest in Peace Marvin…❤
My heart just aches. God bless this sweet soul…You are in my thoughts and prayers….❤️❤️❤️❤️???????????????????????????????????
My most memorable moment was coming to the house and you always had a peanut butter pie ready for me to eat and one to take home. You will be missed.
Uncle Maurice, Nancy is in a good place. I will remember her as “Ms. Etiquette ” often giving me a hard time about not having a full set of dishes when I lived by myself.

I also enjoyed every moments talking to John about many things outside of work. John, you’re forever in my thoughts and you will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace!
Do you see her, that face, that smile. It says everything about her. She lights up a room and her laugh, warms your heart. She is as beautiful inside as out. Sheryl is a Caregiver, yes a Giver of Care/Love/Compassion/Empathy/Warmth/Sympathetic/Nurturing. Sheryl was all that and a loving Mother, Sister, Auntie, Friend and Confidante. On 3-28-21, Sheryl joined our brother Herb, Mum, Dad, Maureen and the rest of our Family for a Heavenly Palm Sunday Celebration. They both Love the Lord and are now at Peace. We will miss Sheryl and Herb terribly. RIH/RIP ❤️??❤️??

The COVA Brewing Company family was saddened to hear about the passing of John.

Dear Madeline,
We were sad to hear the news of John’s passing. Although we weren’t able to speak often, each time we saw John we so much enjoyed our conversations with him.

Maurice,
Please accept my sincere condolences on Nancy’s passing. She was a little spitfire and would always be ready with a story when Lisa and I would show up for lawn services. I enjoyed her stories about her time in the army. She was a trailblazer for all women in the military. She will be missed.

My Uncle John lived so big! I have admired him and loved him from my earliest memories. He stood up for me, made me laugh, and helped me see through his own example that I could make much more out of life than the box others wanted to put me in. 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.
Keeping Holly and her family in our thoughts and prayers. We love you guys. xoxo

Ms. Maness was a big part of my teenaged years. She always made me feel welcomed in her home, just like another daughter. She was so respectful of me, even though I was young and naive, she didn’t judge. I will always think fondly of those times that included her. My sincere condolences to Kim and the entire family. ❤️
Dear Irene- we will miss you at our family gatherings. Love you. Bobby and Robyn
I’m grateful for Nanny being in Heaven because she will never feel pain or suffer anything. We will miss you. Love you Nanny.
I am so sorry to read of June’s passing. We worked together, ate together, shopped together many times. Past few years we were not able to see each other as much for various reasons. I always knew if I called her or she called me, we could talk for an hour non-stop. Her friendship meant so much to me. June had a beautiful family and they will miss her. May she rest in peace in God’s hands.
Hey Big Joe,
Enjoyed the brief time I spend with you at the party palace on Chela Ave. You were a great neighbor and friend who showed me an interesting way for a 2 liter empty bottle of soda to joyfully erupt and expressive itself. Continue on your next adventure, continue, to love, and may those friends who have gone on before us be there to warmly greet you.
Carry on, Big Joe,

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.
Truly sorry for the loss of Joe.. One of my favorite memories was “Halloween” night and taking my Grandchildren to the Graessle home for Trick or Treating!! They have not forgotten and will carry it as a warm and special memory,
God bless the family and Joe’s memory; what a Teddy Bear he was!!!
In Sympathy,

My condolences to the family of Mr. Carew. I met Mr. Carew at RiverPoint Rehab Ctr.
I volunteered every Wed. and Mr. Carew was in the lobby waiting to go to his treatment. We would converse. We had nice conversations. Before I had to go and do my volunteering, he would ask for prayer and I would pray for him. He always wanted prayer. I have missed seeing him due to the virus. I will miss him now. I will keep you all in prayer and Mr. Carew is in Heaven. He was a believer In Jesus. I am glad to have met Mr. Carew. I will keep you all in prayer during your time of bereavement . God bless you all. Mrs. Jackson
Tim was my grandfather, he taught me a lot about life. I’ll miss our talks, his stories and advice. I don’t think he knew how important he was to me. Rest in peace.
Mr. Williams,
Please know how saddened I am to hear of Nancy’s passing. We had many wonderful conversations while walking the Lake about life, family and our mutual love of dogs. I imagine her now surrounded by all the neighborhood puppies who preceded her, two of mine included. She will be tremendously missed.

What I remember most about Wayne is, that he was a kind and gentle man. I don’t remember ever seeing him get mad at anything. When I was little, I considered him to be the giant of a man. I think he towered over everyone, except for my father.
You are loved and missed Wayne.
I miss you so much. I will love you forever. One day we will be together again. You are my heart.❤️❤️❤️

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! ♥️
You’ll be forever missed and never ever forgotten. Hurt. Happy ur not in pain. I love you. I’m not gonna cry today. I’ll hold up tight and be the best version of me I can be. My best friend. My biggest fan. My mom. I love you mom. Rest my lady. I got it.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was not aware that Sam had passed on. He was blessed with the love you all shared. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
It’s been a week today. Miss you and love you forever daddy ?
As always, my prayers are with you.

I love and miss you.
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.

I am so sorry for your loss.
You were such a wonderful friend & like a sister to me for many many years. I will remember the fun & crazy times we had & think of you often. You were always strong & hard working. Never gave up! You will always be in my heart, until we meet again!
I fondly remember Donna from school, especially, Willard Junior. She was a year ahead of me and when I made the cheerleading squad, she passed on her uniform to me. Rest in peace, Donna.
There are no words to describe the pain that is left due to your transition with our Lord. I will say I am filled with joy because you are free from all illness and pain. May you continue to rest in heavenly peace my sister. For you will forever be loved and missed!
We are so sad to hear of Jan’s passing. Beth and I consider Jan and Bruce to be the best neighbor’s we’ve ever had. We truly miss our backyard conversations while sprucing up our yards. We hope God gives Bruce and Jan’s family the strength to get through such a terrible loss.
Though we mourn those who have passed from life into eternity, we have peace knowing that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. May all of Lenora’s family and friends take solace in this biblical understanding. Praise God & God bless you all!
Love you bro

My heart goes out to his family. I’ve known big Sam for 45 years, since I was 5. He was a good man, a wonderful father, Grand father and Great Grandfather. When you seen him around his family, you always seen the love he had for them. He always treated all of us good and we had so many great memories growing up and Big Sam was always the Dad we all wished we had.
I was a student at Thorpe in 1971.. oddly I had a huge crush on miss Chapman and she broke my heart when I heard she was getting married to Geoff. In reality, she made me love math. Rest In Peace knowing that you affected your students.

Dear Bruce, Russ, Stephanie and Family,
We were sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. She definitely was one in a million. A life well lived…and a wonderful example. Thinking of all of you and wishing you strength. Hopefully memories of happy times will bring you peace.
Our hearts are broken. Barry was and will always be a great man, father, brother, husband, and cousin. He will be missed and loved FOREVER!!!
Remembering how Mom would quietly support me, her understanding, thoughtfulness and unconditional love, are all part of me.
I am missing you.
With all my love.
Cliff and I worked together for the DOC during the 1990′ s. He was a great fellow employee, and we had a lot of laughs with Bernie, another employee. Cliff, cared about those, he was entrusted to offer treatment and lead them to recovery. I pray that his family and friends grief will ease with time, and cherished memories follow.
She was a sweet woman with a strong spirit she fought a great fight for years an at the end she was ready to be with her family an friends to celebrate her new life! Mrs Roy you will be truly missed by all! God Bless

Mom was the best mom I could have hoped for! She was so funny and loving and one of my best friends I’ve ever had. She has always been there for me and my brothers and sisters. Her faith in God was and still is a huge inspiration for me, and I miss her so much! I love you, Mom. I know you’re resting in the arms of Jesus!!

Donald and Tyler, Bill and I were so very sorry to hear of Vicki’s passing. Condolences to the family and just know we are thinking of you both. May she finally rest in peace.
Sorry to read of the passing of Vickie. We were school friends from our early years in W.T. Cooke school through our graduating class at First Colonial.
Thoughts and Prayers for her and her family. Ann Knudson Burnett.
She was a very special aunt. Always loved her stories and her knowledge on life. She was always a very kind and loving lady. Always ready to go and do anything she could for you. She will be truly missed,but always be in my memories that I will never forget. She will always be my very special aunt!
Ethel was a great lady. I will always remember her London broil she made for Sunday dinners & the awesome sweater she handmade for me. A real treasure, your mom. My prayers go out to you Sharyn and your family during this difficult time.
Such a tremendous loss for the family and friends who thought so highly of him. Williamsburg Aerie #4548 has lost a guiding light. 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.
Dear John and Family: My most heartfelt condolences on your loss. The memory of her steadfast support for all the wives during the long 10-month deployment of the squadron to Vietnam will always be remembered with admiration and gratitude. Her best friend at that difficult time, Gladys, awaits with open arms and warm embrace.
Peace to John and your family right now. Our family sat by Marilyn and John at 5:30 Saturday Mass at St. Nick’s. John and Marilyn would also visit Central Library where I work. Such a genuine, faith-filled couple who felt like church family. Prayers for all of you–
With love,
Tracey, Pete, Peyton, and Mallory Berning
Our deepest condolences to Rhonda, Amanda and Matthew. Barry was a great person and will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time, Barry was a much loved member of the Ryan Homes Team and we will miss him so much, his generosity to local causes that we took part in was so appreciated, will be missed by all.
Thoughts and prayers for the entire Anderson Family. Charlie was a funny and caring guy. He will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Keith was when they moved their Mama to be closer to Peggy. We all grew up together and had some good times. When were little the highlight of our summer was to go to Virginia. Keith had a kind heart and soul and made others around him happy. He LOVED his family and friends and will truly be missed by all.
We hope you are dancing in heaven and singing with the angels choir.
We love you.
Donna, Nate and Jake

My sincere condolences to John and the entire Dooley clan. I’ve known John and Marilyn now for almost 30 years. I always sensed that mom was the strength that held the family together while dad’s wit and stories were always entertaining. It is an honor and a joy knowing members of the family for all these years. May eternal life be granted unto her. I am sure she will live in the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Ada’s grace, wit and down-to-earth sense that made everyone that knew her, love her. She treated me as much a friend and a daughter that anyone would want. I will miss her so much.

Mona and family, we are so sorry to hear about Warren’s passing. With hugs and prayers, Betty & Tommy Robbins
He was my friend and I like many others I will miss him.
I remember when we are practically live together when we were little. Junior and little brother was older than we were. But they would let us play basketball with them. We thought they belong to us whenever any other children would come around we didn’t want them to let them play basketball.
Jr., I will always have a special place for you in my heart Cousin. I remember the times that Cousin Robbie and Cousin Joe “Baby” would bring you and “Lil Brother”down to our house, or my Dad and Mom or Aunt Julia and Uncle Nem would bring Freddie, Betty Ann and I to your home to play and terrorize each other. I enjoyed talking to you and your daughter, Ebony at the “Family Reunion” in 2018 in Little Rock. May You Rest In Peace Cousin.

Uncle Robert was a good uncle. He never held his tongue. If he knew you was doing wrong, he would let you know. To my family, hold your head up. Uncle Robert would look at you and say”Im okay”

Sorry to hear about your brother my heart go out to you and prayers
I went to school with Warren for 12 years. I never recall him being anything but a nice solid person. Quiet but real. And he was just the same when I saw him at Kellam reunions. From Facebook I learned he never changed and that family meant everything to him. One of the good guys. I hope he didn’t suffer for long, if at all. Prayers for his family as you truly have lost a very special person.
All the staff here at Heron Ridge Golf course are deeply saddened by the passing of Warren.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Tom, I was shocked to hear about Rachel at our 45th Agnes Scott College Reunion last weekend! How very sad! Rachel was such a fun, vibrant, joyful, busy woman. A good friend in college. A devoted wife and mother. I know you and your family will miss her tremendously. And her Scottie sisters will too. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mitch was a great friend to me and my family. I met him while he was a Major in the Army at Fort Monroe, Va, and we’ve been friends ever since. He always offered good solid advice and I feel honored to have known such a great person. Mitch, we won’t get to have that summer cookout we were planning but when we meet again, we will. Rest in Peace, buddy (I’m tearing up) and May God Bless the entire Mitchell family.

Mona and family ,
I am just hearing today of Warren’s passing.I am so very sorry.
It’s so difficult to suddenly be without someone you’ve spent so many years. Take time to mourn, cry, and rejoice in the wonderful life full of so many happy memories and knowing he is with our Savior, Jesus. Therein lies your comfort.
It will take time to adjust to this new way of living and don’t let anyone tell you it’s time to move on. You will when your heart tells you
I’m so glad your children and grands live close by
Lean on them and love them.
We are all here for you!
Sincerely, Judy

Charlie will be dearly missed. He was an awesome guy who would do anything for anyone. He never turned down an opportunity to help family. Never heard a negative word said about him from anyone. Rest in peace Charlie.
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.
In loving memory
Miss you, J.
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.

Dear Surry Family ~ please rest assured that you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers as you celebrate the life of your Father. Bob & Helen Roybark, Moseley, VA
We miss you already! Love ya AlwayS;
Mona and Family,
So very sorry to hear of Warren’s passing. He was such a kind man. Last year he sent me a little video of someone playing the piano (via facebook) and his caption was ‘reminds me of you’… Needless to say that person playing the piano was far better than I would ever be, but it was certainly a great compliment and I’ve always remembered that. Love to you and your family at this difficult time.

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.
I’m sorry for your lost. I had pleasure of meeting her through my job. I was her home health aide for awhile. She was a pleasure everytime I went there to care for her. She always made me feel welcomed and loved. I loved our talks while I cared for her. She would tell me about her books and about her life too. I miss her. 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. Your bond was amazing. And thank you from the bottom of my heart, for letting me in your home to meet your mom and take care of her. Love you Shalisha.
Oh Marion, my heart hurts for you. I loved seeing your close mother daughter relationship. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet her. Your mom knew all of us and always had a smile and kind words! May all those precious moments you shared with your sweet mother bring you joy! HUGS to you and your family. Catherine
Mr. Surry (Mac) was a wonderful person, husband, father, grandfather, & friend. He was an exemplary role model as a family man. How blessed his family and friends are to have had him in their lives and all the many memories to cherish. I am one of those friends and what an honor to have known him. I hope you and Peggy are once again holding hands!
My extreme condolences for the loss of Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris meant so much to me and conversations he shared with me will be treasured for my lifetime. Mr. Harris is a true hero amongst veterans and I am proud to have known him. Salute and prayers for your family.
Keith, find your mom and Rest In Peace.
I miss you, mom. You were a pillar of strength and unconditional love.

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. ❤?
My deepest condolences to his family.
John’s a great man and left a wonderful legacy. He’ll be missed.
Kim was so special. I went to school with her at Louisville. We reconnected on Facebook. I loved reading her stories about Romey, her cat. I have a silly cat to and we would share stories. She will be very missed by many.
My Condolences to Ms. Kim’s family.
She was the best and most caring dance teacher ever.
I will forever love and miss you. Farewell.

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…..
RIP Debra Hawkins ?

Tom: Karen and I cant express the sorrow we feel over the loss of your Rachel. You are both in our prayers and you know that we are here for you if or when you need us. God bless you both!
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”.
Such a sweet, Godly woman. We will miss you. ??❤️

John and I met through Realtor association management. Although we both had management positions with competing real estate brokers we developed professional relations that served us both during our real estate careers. We argued, laughed, became friends and provided each other with a sounding board when another point of view was needed. John left us much too early and will be missed by many. May he Rest in Peace.

Kim you will be remembered as a bright light in the years my daughter danced at Starmaker PAC. You always were smiling and your students felt the joy you felt in dancing. As a parent, I knew my daughter was in great hands and gaining great experience from great teachers during her time at the dance studio. God bless Miss Kim and thank you for all your good works.
Please know that there are many friends who are mourning with you. I was friends with Kim from the time we were nine. We had many sleepovers, birthdays, and I even attended a few of her recitals back in the day. Gone far too soon. Prayers for Kim, and your family as they work through this difficult time. You are out of pain now.

My Condolence to John and his family member. John and I had some good times together and have share work experience. John will be miss by me by as so many others. I even had the pleasure of golf with John in a well-working relationship. God speed be with the family and friends of John.
Thank you John for your contributions to the REALTOR industry, especially VPAR. Prayers & love to friends and family mourning the loss of John!
John, you are going to be missed terribly. I sure hope you are up there enjoying endless rounds of golf in the sun or relaxing on a beach listening to the waves with a cold one in you hand. I will treasure all the memories , You were such a great man and a great friend who never had a complaint even when things were a bit ruff. You always had a kind smile for everyone. You had the philosophy of the more the merrier. You never said no to fun or what might be and always wanted to make sure everyone was having a great time. You will remain in our thoughts forever as the kind hearted man and great friend that you are. With Love, Your Friend Forever Kelly
Sad news about John! He will be missed! My thoughts and prayers go with the family!
This is a shame; gone way too early. John was a sharp Broker, worked with him for years at GSH. Played many a round of golf together; I will miss his sense of humor.
Praying for all Kim’s family; for God’s peace that passes understanding. I met Kim some years back and will never forget her smile nor her love of Jesus.
May our Lord Jesus Christ cover each of those that grieve for Kim. We pray for all those that she touched. May the love of God our Father sustain each of you in your heartache.
DeColores Kim ?

Kim was a shining light and an inspiration at our table. Her joyous spirit and beautiful soul brought joy to us all . Juanita Shaw TW103
My deepest condolences ? to the family and friends. My prayers are with you. Be encouraged, God sent Angel to earth and now had called her home to be with Him, where she watches over you. ?
I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I worked with him at the shipyard in the Planning Department and he was always a ray of sunshine. He was always learning something new and was eager to fill you in on the details. He will be missed.
Glen, I will miss you dearly big brother. May you Rest In Peace. Love you!
May your heaviest of burdens remain on this earth so that your soul may rest in peace. Farewell, Uncle Glen.

Mr. Chappell I so sorry to hear of Ms. Evelyn’s passing, I know she was your everything and our heart goes out to you. Lifting you and family in prayer and know she is with Jesus and worshiping Him!
Danny was one of the most thoughtful and giving people I have ever encountered. He was always thinking of others but expecting nothing in return. Most recently, I reached out to Danny about buying a computer for a family in need. Without hesitation, he offered a laptop with case and didn’t want a dime. 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. We spent many holidays together and he will forever be an extended part of the family. You will be missed.

My dearest sweetest friend. Thank you for being my bestie. I love you so much and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I’ll love you forever and I will see you again on the other side! XOXO
David, Daniel mom and dad and David senior I am so sorry Kim was a wonderful mom, friend and daughter I just found out my youngest daughter passed in October I know your pain I’m so sorry❤️❤️❤️
Vicki and I were friends since grade school and I love her very much. We kept in touch all through the years. I know she is at peace now but my heart is broken. She had many times about going to live with her son Brian. I am so happy that that happened. Brian I am so sorry for your loss. Please contact me if you wish.
So sorry for your loss we loved Vicki and had been looking for her.Brian please get ahold of me.
Danny will be missed by so many. He had so many friends and so many hobbies he enjoyed. He helped us out so many times over the past 20 years with our computers and networking at our company. He was the best IT person around. He was also a good friend of ours. RIP Danny.
Besides being a patient, she was one of our favorite people. She was a beautiful, intelligent soul and lived a long happy life.
I’m sorry for the recent passing of Shirley. Please know that she is resting comfortably in the arms of our Lord.
Truly a loss for everyone who knew him. He was always a good friend
Al and Mary,
I am so sorry that your beautiful daughter passed away. She was certainly an accomplished woman and a great dancer. We will for you that you will have the peace and love that the Lord grants.
There’s so many. The last one we talked about. Was the day she got a new saddle for her pony milky way. Well she never used it after that day .we where galloping down a dirt road. She got her foot hung up in the stirrup ended up getting dragged throw sand spurs. A few months ago we where laughing about that day. She was about 10 and she really wanted that saddle.
To my aunt who left way to early. I will miss you and happy that I got to spend time with you before you left us.
A good and decent man who was a leader of men and women. MAJ Alicea was my flight commander at OTS in 1982.
He challenged me and made me better. His positive impacts on my life still remains.
May he rest in peace.
My family and I have known Danny for many years. He was a computer mentor to my boys and was always ready to help with our computer needs. He was a kind and giving soul. He will definitely be missed by many. Rest In Peace Danny.
It was an honor to have worked with Kim. She was such a beautiful soul. Rest easy.
We knew Danny through a mutual friend, Howard. Danny spent the last year of Howard’s life taking care of Howard. Danny was devoted and compassion and would “do anything for Mr. Howard” as Danny called him. I was at Mr. Howard’s myself most days and witnessed Danny’s gentleness. No friend could have done more than Danny did. He was a real blessing to Howard. We are so sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. A life cut short.
rest in peace Danny Lee??
Mary-
I’m so sorry to see Priscilla pass away but I know she was happy moving here to be with you from SC! I will always have fond insurance memories of the first day I met her and, of course, super doll memories. She was a wonderful lady.

Dear Leroy and family members,. our deepest sympathy and prayers are with each one of you. “Absent from the body and present with the Lord”.. .”Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted”. Mt 5: 4. We do know that God’s wisdom is greater than ours and we must trust him in all things. We know that God will give added Strength, Comfort and Peace as only he can do during this time of separation from Judy. Memory is one thing that death cannot destroy so dwell on her beautiful memories. We sawJudy grow up from childhood.. Old neighbors, The Roscopf’s .

Judy was a big part of growing up for me. She showed me so many things musically. I have great memories of singing hymns with her and learning harmony with that upright piano. We’ll all miss you dearly. ❤️

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.
I will always love and miss him. Over twenty year of friendship. Love you DANNY

I have so many wonderful memories of the years I spent with Mary and her family. I love her still.
I remember Judy from Warwick High School Class of 1967. She was a very warm and caring person.
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a very kind person who obviously loved her family. Her spirit will never perish, living on through you and future generations. Sincerely, Anne and Mike Noble
Our deepest condolences for the loss of such an incredible woman. Judy touched so many lives and will be greatly missed by all. Much love, Brett & David
Leroy and family, My love and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will always remember the fun times I had with Judy during our teen years. She was always laughing! I was blessed to have her play the organ at my wedding in 1972! May God bless you and comfort you. Love, Brenda
Leroy and family, so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in your time of need. Love you bunches! Debbie & Quintin
Janna was — and will remain — a tremendous influence on me. She showed me what was possible both inside and outside the dojo. I count myself fortunate to have been on the receiving end of her fists of kindness more times than I can count. She made the world a better place.
Judy and I met when she starting playing the organ at Union Baptist Church. My husband, Bill, went up to her one Sunday and said I used to know a boy named Leroy Maxie that went to Riverside Baptist Church. She said that would be him. Bill and Leroy”s father were good christian friends. We all became fast friends and the rest is history.I will always remember Judy as one of the kindest people I have ever met.During her whole illness, I never asked her how she was that she didn”t say I’m fine.How many of us can even say that on a good day. I will miss her every day.
Rest In Peace John. May perpetual light shine upon you!
Judy was a special person who touched many lives with her musical gifts. So many fond memories of her patience and teaching abilities. She will be missed. Prayers for the entire family during this difficult time.
My sincerest condolences to Judy’s entire family and especially to her mom Mrs. Gladys Wright. Judy and I were good friends through high school at Warwick High. May your memories of Judy sustain you in your grief.
I remember Judy well from the day Alysia and Stephen got married. She was a wonderful lady. My deepest condolences.
Such love me and my girls had for Miss Kim. She will live in our hearts and memories forever.

We are so sorry to hear of Johnnie’s passing. Such a wonderful guy! Many years of smiles and laughter of stories at the VFW. We love you Patsy.
Very sorry to learn of Beverly’s transition from this mortal coil & only glad that her excruciating battle is given over to her heavenly Father. 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!
Judy made the world a happier place. We had so much fun together in college, studying and practicing hours at a time. We both played the organ for churches in Burlington, NC, and were often able to ride together, and enjoy that time talking and laughing. I will miss Judy every day, but I rejoice that she is healed now.
So very sorry for your loss. Sending prayers.
Sending our condolences we are keeping all the family in our prayers

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.

Sorry for your lost
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.
Mrs. Maxie had such a wonderful spirit! I will continue to keep your family uplifted in my prayers. You will be missed. xo
Semper Fi Marine, Rip.
Thanks Uncle Dickie! I really enjoyed our times together I still think about you often. Thank you for your help then and now. Love Danny…
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.
Danny was a great step dad and loved me like his own i miss him and i hope he’s resting amazingly
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.

Rest in paradise you will be missed love you always
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.
Going to miss you especially you talking shit about everybody
Danny was always one of those guys that if you ever needed anything, he was there. He put me up when I got separated from my wife till I could get back on my feet again. He loved the water and going out on his Hobbie in the summers. He will truly be missed.
Joe will be greatly miss, he left a giant footprint in this life. He was a lovely person and I feel so fortunate to have a small part in his life. My children admired a respected him tremendously. My two Son’s spent 5 year’s in the NAVY because of great examples of Service they witnessed like Joe. Joe epitomized the term Hero & Patriot. God bless and welcome Joe home Father, he fought a good fight.
Joe,
You are now sleeping with the angels. There must be quite a reunion going on up there. You have now found comfort and peace
In memory of Joseph Jerauld, Kevin Potts lit a candle
Joe – It was great seeing the world with you.
I came across Tree Of Life Herbal Clinic, (w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com ) one year ago and learnt about their successful COPD herbal therapy for COPD. 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.

Dora, you were lent to us for a little while, GOD had other plans. Till we meet again RIP my friend you will truly be missed.
We feel blessed to have had the time with her we did. What a blessed life she lived and what a legacy she leaves behind. Love, thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your service Joe; to your country, your church and to your Lord and Savior. Love you my Brother.
Thank you for your service Joe; to your country, your church and to your Lord and Savior. Job well done good and faithful servant. Love you my Brother.
Joe’s positive upbeat approach to life will surely be missed. I was my pleasure to work with him at Joint Forces Staff College. I followed his journey with cancer with prayers and wishes for wellness. So sorry to see him gone much too soon.
My deepest condolences to Lisa, Ben and Audrey. It’s been many years but I still remember cousin Joe’s warmth and sense of humor. I hope you find comfort in the happy memories during this painful time.
Divot was 1st my XO & then my Skipper when I rep’d VFA-15. Over a short time we became tight. In short he was very hood to me & everyone he came in contact with…….as I witnessed it 1st hand.
We ate together, we shared stories together, we talked Guitar a lot & we DRANK TOGETHER !
He was loved by all but no more so by Lisa, Ben & Audrey. He was the ultimate Husband, Father, Friend & Leader. I will miss him dearly…..
In conclusion, he was a GREAT LEADER & DEFENDER OF OUR NATIONS FREEDOMS.

My deepest condolences. One of my favorites in a career full of COs and XOs. He will be sorely missed by me. This trend of loss in my years since leaving the USN is something I will never get use to. I was privileged to serve with a such a Great Officer.
I am so sorry to know that Bill has passed. I worked with Bill and Jayne in the printing shop for 12 years and thought of them as family for a time. We had many good times. May you rest in peace Mr. Bill.

I know that Diane would join me in expressing our deepest sympathy to you and your family in Joe’s death. Joe was a wonderful man who lived his spiritual beliefs everyday. We are deeply saddened by his passing but take comfort that he has been released from his struggle. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
May God’s Grace give you comfort at this difficult time.

We are very saddened to hear of Andy’s passing but we know he is rejoicing in the presence of God. When I served Baylake as Director of Music, Andy was always someone I could turn to with any question or concern. He was a prayer warrior and always had a kind word of encouragement for anyone in need. Singing with the choir of Angels – what a wonderful place to be. We pray God gives comfort to his family and church family during this time.
The loss of this great warrior, patriot, and family man comes much too soon. I first deployed with CAPT Joe Jerauld when we were both JO’s on USS Dwight D Eisenhower in 94-95. He in VFA-105, me in VF-32. I would go on to work for him a few years later as his Training Officer when he was OPSO of the VFA-27 Royal Maces, home-ported in Japan. Nothing but great times and fond memories of mine and my families’ time with Joe, Lisa, Ben, and Audrey. Joe, you will be sorely missed, but NEVER forgotten.

Divot and I were roommates in VFA-27 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. He was the senior Dept Head and I was the junior one, and I remember the important lessons he taught me about managing people and living a good life during our late night talks. We overlapped again as XO/COs in Oceana and I feel lucky to have known such a great American and family man. Fair winds and following seas, my Brother!

Lisa, Ben and Audrey, our hearts are hurting with you as well as rejoicing with the celestial choir that surely has Joe singing loud and clear as we saw him do each Sunday, regardless of how he felt.

SINCERE CONDOLANCES TO THE JERAULD FAMILY AND FELLOW VALIONS??RIP DIVOT????????????????
Had the privilege to serve with him in VFA15.Rest in peace sir fly high among the angels.
I remember him. He was a good man. Always gave me nothing but kindness. Sad to hear of his passing. I was searching for Rebekah’s whereabouts when I found this. I guess tell her I’m sorry for the loss, and tell Sandra and Kah the same. Sorry I wondered so far.
Divot,
Fair winds and following seas to one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. You were a good friend and a great leader. My deepest condolences for your family.
Served twice with Capt. Jerauld, VA/VFA-81 and again in VFA-15. I liked him from the first time I met him. He brought it full circle when he caught with up with me, shortly after checking into 15. He always chatted with me and always had a joke or something funny to share. He wished me farewell and gave me positive thoughts, when we had our sit down, before I retired. He was my CO, but also my friend.
Was the honor of a lifetime to serve under Skipper Jerauld as my first XO with the Valions. Always had a smile on his face and positive words. Rest easy sir. We have the watch!
May she Rest In Peace. Condolences to your family. Pat McG
A great leader, I will follow him into battle any day.
Of all the Executive Officers that I have worked with, Joe was by far the best! He was an amazing leader, pilot, mentor and friend! You will be sorely missed! Fair winds and following seas!
Joe May you Rest In Peace as you transition to heaven and everlasting life. May our God’s blessings and grace forever be with you. May he harbor your family under his wings. You will be missed by our Emmanuel family where you brought much joy and sunshine. I treasure our time together on Vestry and to listen to you play guitar and sing. Forever Fly Safe.
Joe was an awesome guy he always asked me how my band was doing …..great thoghtful guy this news was a shock to me……..he may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
I love you so much dad. I promised you I would take care of what was best for you and I did just that. Give mom the biggest hug for me, and I hope you both find one another that way you were when you first met. I miss you so much and can’t wait to see you again.

Tremendously sad to hear of Divot’s passing. We crossed paths on multiple occasions throughout our careers, and from the first time we met, he was someone I deeply respected and admired as a leader, mentor, and friend. Gone far too soon, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our deepest sympathies to Lisa and the family.
I didn’t know Joe very well as I only met him a few times. Having read this tribute to him I am so amazed at how he gave of himself his entire life to help his country, his fellow man and his loving family in everything he did which involved great risk and sacrifice. My heart goes out to his beautiful family in their time of sadness. I pray that God eases their pain and suffering and helps them be comforted and receive His peace and healing. I have faith that Joe is at peace in Heaven with God for all eternity and will be reunited with all his loved ones in time. ?❤️?
Barb, thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family. Bob was a great leader and teacher. Our hearts are broken for this loss but God had other plans, as Bob is now flying in Heaven with the Angels.

Barb and and family,
We were so shocked to hear about Bob, did not realize he was that sick. I enjoyed the many years working with him going over the Aero Club financials but also just visiting the club and getting to know the people and the planes. I think about it every time I see a Cessna in a movie. 🙂 I wish we could have had that last get together. May God bless and comfort you at this time. Love, Linda and Joel
This was a grandfather I miss you so much pop pop I’m doing fine wishing u where with me every day?
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.
Barbara,
My deepest condolences for loss of your husband. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Barbara, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. It was always a pleasure to chat with him, and particularly see how his eyes twinkled around you. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Robbie
I knew and worked with Bob when I was at Langley AFB. I know he will be missed by the people he worked with.
Such a great man. Always had a smile on his face and a positive thing to say. I had no idea Joe was such an accomplished pilot, speaks to how humble he was. He set a great example on how to love God and live one’s l
May you rest in peace. You will be missed in the neighborhood.
Renee and I were honored to serve along side Joe and Lisa in our time in the Navy. I cherish the friendship and time I spent with Joe and loved working with him during my time in VFA 15. He and Lisa were always great friends and provided us both with excellent advice and support. Joe treated everyone with respect and fairness. I know Joe’s faith was strong and he is in a better place. Lisa please know that Renee and I are praying for you and your family. Ed &Renee Langford
Rest in peace, my friend.
My sincerest sympathy goes out to “Skipper” Jarauld’s family. This is a huge loss to the Valion family.

Lisa, Carlos and I send you and the kids our most sincere condolences. We pray that you find strength to overcome the pain from Joe’s departure.
With Joes;s reuniting with his Lord and Savior, may your days ahead be filled with only loving and funny memories of Joe. My prayers are for you all to be blessed with feelings of his love around you daily. Peace and healing be with Joe. God Bless, Gail Biermann.
Lisa, Ben, Audrey and the entire family: May your sadness today give way to sweet memories of a wonderful man. Hugs and prayers for all of you. Love, Jon and Elise
Joe was one of my good shepherds during 159. I know where he is now, and I know that he is Happy beyond human measure. God Bless us all!

We were very saddened to hear of Mrs. Downes passing. We were both very fond of her, she was a great lady. She will be deeply missed by both of us.
Barb and Brett,
Our deepest condolences to you both. Bob was a great friend and an integral part of our Poquoson CERT. He made significant contributions to CERT outreach and training as both President and Training Chair. We will miss him very much but are glad to have met you all.

My love and thoughts are with you and family,thinking of you at this sad time.My prayers are with all of you.God Bless and RIP ?❤️
Love you Saul. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Bob was an amazingly generous man who, along with his wife Barbara, supported the Tidewater AFCEA Chapter over many years. Our Chapter was enriched by the lights they shined at every activity; the brilliant smiles and great personalities that were engaging to all whom met them. Now Bob’s light shines in heaven and is remembered here on earth. Ken HIrlinger
Our thoughts are with the family has they navigate the loss of a mother, sister, and friend to many! Sonya and Gregg Benshoff
My condolences to Andy’s family. I had the privilege of working with Andy in the Warrenton Baptist Church as an associate minister. Andy was a great mentor for a recent seminary graduate. Andy was a giving person and genuinely cared for people. He was open minded and gave credit and support to his fellow workers in the church. With Andy, there was plenty of room in his heart and mind to share the responsibility of ministry. He was not an egotistical pastor who had to control everything. I am grateful to have served with Andy and learn from him.I thank God that he and Nan were able to be together for 68 years. Nan too was a gift to many children who sat under her teaching.
Oh, this news is tough. Mrs. Downes was such a nice lady and I always thought so much of her. She is with Kenny now, and I bet he’s showing her around heaven and they’re laughing together this very moment. Prayers to her family as they work through this loss. God bless you all.
Rest in Peace Frances I know in my heart you are with Kenny and Dee Dee and the rest of your family who have been waiting in heaven for you. Thanks for the beautiful Christmas Trees you made for me and my granddaughter. You will always be remembered over the holidays when we put out beautiful trees..
Thank you for the wonderful idea of leaving your family a letter.. I will follow your lead and do the same for my family.. What a wonderful gift you left them..
Marguerite has your girls and I will try and be there for her now that she doesn’t have you daily in her life.. Lots of the ladies out here at West Neck will miss your daily jokes sent and be there for Marguerite also.. William and I will try not to beat her to bad at cards.. I know you would are laughing now even if I cannot hear you..
Rest in Peace my friend..
Frannie, It was so good for the time spent together, Your a sister to a very close friend of mine.
You are certainly missed right now, knowing you were so so active in all your abundance of chores and doings. Gee Fran, did God have to take you now, just as we were getting to know each other?
You”ll be missed……very much———God be with you, Bless you and keep you safe and secure.
Your Polack friend, ……………….Joan Y.

Walter..I am so sorry for your loss. You did a wonderful job with your mom with your care and compassion. She was a lucky lady to have you. Please let me know if there is anything you need.
I am absolutely heart broken to hear this. I worked with Roger at the Boat Ramp for many years. I always enjoyed listening to his stories and we had great conversations. He was a good man and will be greatly missed. Sending my thoughts, prayers, and condolences to his family.
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.
Auntie I know I didn’t know you well but your still my aunt and I love and miss you.
The Virginia Beach Master Gardeners send our condolences, and wish her family peace as they mourn the loss of Ruby. Her service during her years with the Master Gardeners brought beauty and knowledge to our city.

Cheryl/Pat and family, I am very sorry for your loss. Your mom was always very kind to me and the other Thalia kids that spent time around your house.
With our deepest regrets.
Ruby, you left too soon. We never all the lunches and dinners I planned in my mind for when I move to VB. I will miss them sorely. Oh how I miss our late night conversations about our politicians and the state of our country. I hope you are reaching down and helping us out a bit, and not just laughing at us. Every time Obe does her little tinkle thing I think about you and I can hear you laughing. I will always miss you, my dear friend, my fellow Minnesotan, Save me a space,,,
So sorry for your loss my prayers go out to your familyI always enjoyed her wonderful recipes!And I am lucky enough to have the beautiful Christmas Tree she made for me it will always make think of her every Christmas.She was a wonderful sister to my friend Marguerite.My love and thoughts to all of you!❤️?

Ruby, we all will miss you and your kindness and cheerful ways in the Master Gardeners! It was such a joy to volunteer with you!
My heart is broken. I will miss him calling me everyday to check on me. I will miss taking him to get groceries. I will miss taking him to his doctor appointments. I will miss sitting with him everyday that he was in the hospital. I will miss him everyday that I am alive. I loved him.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great person. I had the blessing of working with, and being friends with David. He was always willing to help with whatever he could, and was very friendly. He has been encouraging and thoughtful through my ongoing battle with cancer and I will miss his inspiring personality. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family.

Rhonda I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. Prayers to you and your family. I know you will miss her . Sending hugs
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.
I will miss the stories most of all !!!
I LOVE YOU DAD “LYGB”

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..
Miss You SO MUCH John,Love you always.
You and I had a special relationship right from the start … You were the big sister I always needed and I am very thankful that I had you for 51 years … You were an amazing Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Mama and Mamaw to Cameron, Hayden, Logan and Lillian. We are all missing you so much already. I feel like I have a hole in my heart in the shape of you. At least you have some good company up there. Give everybody a hug for me. Rest In Paradise Ain’t B.

I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Downes. She was a fun, vivacious, beautiful lady. I appreciate all the times she allowed us to hangout and have sleepovers at your house – even putting up with our late night pancake making. I am praying for you Pat and Cheryl and your family.
Jim was a good friend and colleague Jim kept his coworkers entertained with his knowledge, his stories, and his sarcasm. I can only imagine the joy Jim’s family got from him.
I miss Jim every day. There is a void that cannot be filled. I love Jim, and I always will.
Rest In Peace dear Bev. I will treasure the times we spent as neighbors. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
There are no words to describe how I felt when I was told you passed away on the 21st. I have so many good memories of you and valued you as an employee when you worked for me. I know this has to be very hard on your family and I pray that they can find comfort that you aren’t suffering anymore and in a better place. I will always cherish the memories of company parties, after work gatherings, etc. Rest in peace dear Bev!
I just heard of Divot’s passing from a former Joint Forces Staff College colleague. As “CAPT Jerauld” he was more than my boss, he was a kind, thoughtful, and bright friend.

We lost rack of each other with the COVID pandemic. I will miss her kindness. Rest well Ruby.

We are so sorry to lose the presence and friendship of Priscilla but know she is in a better place and at peace. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Sending our deepest sympathy to the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
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. My sincere condolences ! x
You are missed a lot!!!
Priscilla I know you will be sadly missed by all that knew you, in school you were such a sweet friend. I know all the hearts of those that knew you is so sorry to hear of your passing. I know I am. Prayer’s to your Family. Many Prayers to you all all the good times we shared.
I was so happy she followed me into Nursing. We were certified in some of the areas. I’m sure she was excellent. I loved her very much and their boys. I pray for Joey & the boys everyday. I retired after 54 years.
I was so saddened to hear of Priscilla’s passing! She was a lovely person, gentle and compassionate. Priscilla also had a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed our conversations over the years. She truly loved working with her students and celebrated their progress. Her passing is a loss to all who knew her and I know her influence will live on in her students, family, and friends. I know she will live forever in the presence of God.
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, guide Leslie back home to heaven, and may God bless her wonderful family during this sad time. We offer our prayers and intentions to the Gayk family, and we celebrate the beauty, kindness, and love that Leslie left with us in memory.
Love and God Bless,

I worked with Bob at FSI, took my first class as a new employee with Bob, an outstanding Instructor. Years later as the day would end, Bob and I would reminisce about the Forest Service. I flew lead aircraft in Pennsylvania Fire Season many years ago so we had many a discussion together. I always considered the Western area of the country the Pros and we were the amateurs, when I told that to Bob he laughed and said I was right and I laughed all the way home.
I love you and miss you, mom. Love, Jeni
Praying for your whole family in this difficult time. May God help you to hold your happy memories a little bit tighter while you mourn your loss.

When we met Glen 25 years ago, we quickly learned that he was impossible not to love. He was so much fun to be with, to talk to and to watch the boys’ play baseball.

He was definitely a grandfather everyone wished they had. Not a day will go by where he isn’t remembered by all of his loved ones. Love you papa ❤️
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 favorite thing about Beth was that she inspired others to be the best versions of themselves because of how kind and honest she was. She saw the beauty in everything. We are all lucky to have gotten to know her and love her.
Praying for you Sonni and your family right now as you step forward in faith in uncharted Territory of grief over the loss of your precious Momma.
She inspired us all….you ALL have! And so forever thankful to have known her, to know you, and the privilege to pray you all through this journey. Praying God will comfort you all in very deep felt ways each and every day! I am so very sorry for you all’s huge loss, but also so thankful you have each other’s backs to love and support each other through these days ahead!
I know she is finally fully healthy, fully out of any pain now, and the imprint she left behind can never be erased! Her words and videos encouraged me in so many ways on so many days that I struggled, and will forever be thankful to Jesus for Mrs Stommel and how God used her to impact me and so many countless others even in the heart of her sickness she kept fully living, kept encouraging, kept loving and lifting others up in prayer in a way that only she could with Christ’s strength!
Heartfelt sympathy to Lindsey and family.
Butch was a wonderful man, a great family friend and his generous heart, friendly spirit and knowledge of boating will be greatly missed.

What a wonderful person that Mary Stommell. Charlie’s sister. Sister to many Carlsens and then husband John and children and grandchildren. Always a delight to be around. Very thoughtful and spiritual. She led the way in many dimensions. Glad I got to meet you.
The last time Butch and I spoke, he knew his time was short. He was a student in my Seamanship Course and earned the “S” grade in the United States Power Squadrons. I am sorry to learn of his passing and hope his loved ones had the opportunity to say their personal goodbyes. Fair winds and following seas my friend for this journey.
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Rev. 21:4
My Condolences to Andrea’s family and friends
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!
So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Many fun memories from many years ago!
We look forward on the other side one day to say, “Hello my friend”. We cherish the times we spent together camping and with your family back in the days. Even though we didn’t keep up with each other too much over the years we have fond and happy memories to remember. May God bless your family as they carry the torch and honor the life of a wonderful child of God. We love you all. The Joaquim family.
So sorry to hear of Andrea’s passing. We were her neighbors for the past 2 years. I will miss our passing each other in the mornings as we walked. On those mornings that I thought it was “too cold” or raining and decided NOT to walk, there was Andrea out there making her trek around the neighborhood. Rest in Peace sweet neighbor.
Love and payers to u all Tom &Patsy Ballance

I just saw the notice of Butch’s passing in today’s Baltimore Sun. I’m so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Butch in Perry Hall and he was a good guy. Many others in the class of ’77 felt the same way about him. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

My deepest condolences to your family. Keep smiling in Heaven.
Andrea’s contagious excitement for life will be missed—Carswell AFB (1978) seems just like yesterday.
I first met Andrea over 50 years ago, having the good fortune of spending time with the Moore family. Andrea was always easy going, grounded and confident in who she is, just a great person. I surely will miss her. May she rest in peace. Rosemarie and Stan Taylor

You taught me how to ride a bicycle when I was little and you taught me how to make vegetable soup a few years ago and I don’t know how many things in between. You’re gone too soon. I thought we would have more time together. I love you and miss you! Save a place for me in Heaven!
So sorry to hear about Roger. I remember when you first met at Steppin Out. So many
Memories. He will be missed.
Frank and I became friends in high school so we have known each other over fifty years.Even though we lived many miles apart we always kept in touch.

I just found out about Joe’s passing. It came as a complete shock. He was a good man with a faithful heart. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
Heartfelt condolences to the family. She was a light and her presence and laughter is unforgettable. I loved working with her.

A very nice gentleman . My sympathy goes out to the family. I am glad I had the chance to know him.
I am very grateful for the time I got to meet and spend time with her. She made me feel like family.. She will be missed

One of my favorite cousins. We both had the same taste in movie stars, love me some Kiefer Sutherland. Cheryl used to kid she was Elizabeth Taylor because of the number of times she was married. She definitely had Surber blood in her veins, plants everywhere and could grown them from a seed or cutting. Tell mama and the family love you.
Very sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing.. I knew her through her brother Mike. Very nice lady who fought a courageous battle until the end. Thoughts and prayers to the Davidson family.

I know all too well how hard it is to say goodbye to your mom, you will always miss her, but the days will eventually be filled with smiles and fond memories of her. With blessings, Kim
Judy was my neighbor as a child and my very first friend when my family moved to Virginia Beach in 1968. She was older and wiser and her mom was so sweet to me. My condolences to the family and friends. Rest easy, Judy Lannon.
Jane,
What an amazing man it sounds like your father was! And so handsome. You must have been so proud to be his daughter, and how very proud of you he must have been❤️

The loss of Grammy’s precious soul will not be carried with grief but with joy. We will carry the energy and love she had to share with us daily. It is with compassion, kindness, and empathy I will bring her awe-inspiring compassion and clarity to my life and the loved ones we shared. I want to carry her light into the relationships I have and will have so that she can continue to show her dedication and hope for what this world can be. Words fail where actions prevail, but Grammy showed up and showed each of us how to be a force for good through communication and courage.
I will miss Clifton love him so
THANKSFORTELLINGME.

Uncle Lou will always be remembered as the most loving and energetic uncle in our family!

May he rest in the arms of Jesus and enjoy singing praises to God every single day of his eternal life. He will be truly missed by all of us.

Your friend……Carla Moore🙏🙏
I can only hope that towards the end someone was with her. I had been looking for her and kitty for some time. Only ever saw family once and it doesn’t sound like anybody did much for her at the end either or that kitty was still around herself. I wished I had known. I definitely would have taken her in. She was like a mother to me and such a sweetheart. How very tragic. Nothing beautifully written about such a long wonderful life. GOD BLESS you Connie. All my love 💘 to you ma 😘😄💜🙏
Jerry you and your family are in our prayers. May the many wonderful memories you made over the years comfort you and knowing that so many peoples lives were touched by Shirley also be a comfort and blessing to you.

Dear Barbara, Brenda, Bret and Family –
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.

A beautiful soul!
This is hard cause it just don’t seem right . I still see you drinking your tea and watching the game channel. When I enter the house in the morning the first thing I said was good morning my love and before I left I would say see you later dad. To say father Inlaw when speaking about you didn’t seem right . You was like a dad to me. The laughter and lessons will never be forgotten . Your shake a lot Brandi will miss you but so understands that grandpa will always love her and watch over her. Bryan , Brandon and Breanna want to let you know you have some strong grandchildren. The love and smiles you left behind will always grow. As they say hey grandpa see you later. Your son this hit hard. I know you heard his words felt his tears and listened to those giggles . I don’t know if this is what I was suppose to write but my heart lead the way. LOVE YOU ALWAYS MY LOVE AND SEE YOU LATER DAD..
Mary our prayers go out to you and the family during this time let GOD hold you and each family member in his arms and give you strength and peace in all the days to come.
RIP Bob
Mary, I loved your Mom. She was so funny, loving and kind and will forever be in my heart. My prayers for all. Love you xoxo
Sorry to learn to learned had died. I knew her when we were in college. She and my husband were p.e. majors. Kept in touch for a while. Anne was a good person and a good friend.
Love you Mr. B! You were such an amazing person, husband, and father. I am thankful and grateful for God placing you in my life! Rest easy till we meet again.
What an incredibly strong, kind woman. I won’t forget her eyes. Something about the way her eyes connected brought you a peaceful feeling. She was a genuine angelic soul. She will be missed.
Patty…you are a remarkable lady. An inspiration to many. I will always cherish your memory and the kindness and support you gave me. I will miss you but am happy you are with your son. You were right….we are only a breath away. I will never forget you.
Brian, I only got to meet you (and Hannah) once, when your relationship with Heather was new. But I loved hearing about the joy you brought to Heather and watching your little family grow. I’m so sorry that you had to leave so soon.
A wonderful man whom I had a privilege of meeting through his wife Linda Mathias (my friend and flight instructor). He will be deeply missed by this soul until I see him on the otherside.
I have rewritten this so many times. There is no way of saying everything I want about you. You had such a kind and beautiful soul. You didn’t take any bull from anyone. You ruled the roost but you were so kind and so gentle in every way. This still doesn’t feel real. Thank you for teaching me so many things and so many life lessons. My favorite memory as a kid was when I ran up to your house and asked what you were doing and I was acting like a smartie you immediately said to me “You are just like your mama” I responded with “We’ll I am her daughter”. So many memories that run through my head but that will always be my favorite. I will always cherish the memories I had growing up with you and will always be thankful and blessed you were so kind and such a beautiful friend to my Grammy and my mama!! Till we meet again.
Xoxo Livie
Dear Patty,
You were one of my closest friends from Compassionate Friends! I
will always cherish your support for the loss of my daughter, Candy, while I tried to support you for the loss of your son, Michael. But now you and Michael are together in Eternal Peace
with no more pain! I will always remember that you told me,
“We are only a breath away from our
Loved one!” That statement continues
to give me so much comfort!
I wish that you and I could have one
more conversation or one more
entertaining lunch together!
God Bless You Patty!
I Love You! 💗Carol

Rhonda I am so so sorry I live right down the road I did not know your mama had pass she was a wonderful person and she loves Jesus and loved you and the girls
We are greatly saddened, and we were shocked, with the news of Brian’s death. Our deepest sympathies.
When I lived in Richmond many years ago and worked for the women’s pages at the News Leader,I took a class from Charley at R.P.I , as it was known then, and he was a wonderful mentor. 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!
So sorry to be reading this. Prayers and condlolences to family and friends. Johnnie was a special man. I respected him a lot. Rest Easy!
A good friend, neighbor and babysitter for all the years we lived on Lamplight. Sad to hear of her passing.
To the Hunt family I am so very sorry for your loss.
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.
Maggie and Don Kerrigan
We are keeping The Hunt Family uplifted in prayer. May God continue to comfort your hearts.
nI am crushed by the loss of a beautiful, witty and caring artist I was so lucky to have shared space with over the years she has been at the Artists Gallery. 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.
Although it has been some years since I have seen Annie, I remember what an intelligent, active, knowledgeable, vivacious person she was —always a pleasure to be around. She and Charlie were an extraordinary couple-very few like them. Major Reynolds
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.

Hank was a special friend and co-worker at Kingsmill for the past 20 years, worked together at the Classics, played golf and had a great relationship. I will miss him , but remember our great times together. Rest in peace my friend.

I knew Brian a little bit at UVA and most recently spent some time with him in South Carolina a few years back with his A E Pi brothers. We weren’t close, but he made those few days a lot of fun with his kindness and witty banter. My sincerest condolences to the Hunt family.

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
He was a great father, and an amazing character to be around. May his soul rest in peace.

As a former newspaper carrier supervisor of the Ledger Star , I wish to offer my condolences to Robert Zongolowicz and his family on the passing of his father, Michael Zongolowicz.

The times we spent together were like special jewels. The memories we made together will be with me always.

You will be missed. I will miss the conversations we have had over the years.. my you Rest In Peace..
What a great tribute to Mick. I hate that y’all lost him too soon but I know you have comfort in your faith and the love and support of family and friends.
Today, I was driving home from work and I thought about calling you and then I realized that I couldn’t. I miss our conversations about my work day and your neighborhood gossip during my commute home. You loved talking on the phone and telling me repeat stories not realizing you already told me. I remember that I used to tease you and tell you to tell your stories to the telemarketers that would call. They get paid to talk on the phone. How I wish we could have more repeat phone calls. I love you momma.
I love you momma more than I can ever put into words. You always said that I was your “rock” but the truth is you taught me how to be that “rock”. You taught me to be strong and persevere no matter what life threw at me. I will continue to be that “rock” for everyone that is dear to me. I love you momma. Thank you for everything you did to make me the mother that I am today. May you Rest In Peace my sweet Milly.
My adopted son from High School years. May he Rest In Peace. Love you bunches. Lee and “ the boys and family” will always be part of our family.
What a wonderful tribute to Mick, Lee! We’re so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

condolences to you and your family
Prayers for you and your family from a co-worker at Optima Health..
Truly one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. Brian was so funny and always so pleasant. He taught me a lot during my time at Optima Health and he will be missed. My condolences to his family.
Uncle Billy seems strange to say farewell because you were three years younger than me, more like a little brother. The memories that we have shared will forever be engraved in my heart. We will miss you for now so keep the light on. Our deepest love and sympathy to Sandra and your children and grandchildren. You are at rest. 💕
Brian was an amazing person and I am so saddened to hear of his passing. He was someone I always looked forward to seeing, and he was loved by everyone who knew him at Optima. Prayers and positive thoughts to his family. We love you Brian.

Karen,
We are devastated to learn of your mothers passing! Frank had been trying to reach her and couldn’t…now we know why. She was an amazing sorority sister and a very good friend to both my parents, and to my dad after mom’s passing. She visited often and called often just to check on him. She was a godsend after he went on Hospice. Every visit cheered him up. Now the 3 of them are again having lunches…
There really is no words of comfort for you at this time. But I know soon your heart will be filled with many memories. With much love, Judi and Frank~ 💕💔💕
I will see you in the next life, you left to soon my heart is aching my mind is filled with happy memories over shadowing my pain in my heart. I know your at peace you can rest and I will see you again. When you see the lord tell him I said hi
Phyllis and family. I am so sorry to learn of the loss of Harvey. I know he will be greatly missed, I will keep you in my prayers.
My condolences to Liz, Tory and the Steen family, may peace be with you all.
Ray n Diana thought so much of Eleanor. One of the kindest, most gracious southern woman you would ever want to meet. Usually had something humorous to tell a story about. Loved her southern drawl, n the way she spoke so lovingly about her God, husband, n son.
Rose sending you and family love and prayers.
I had the pleasure of spending time with Mr. Steen. I didn’t have the opportunity to know him long but thoroughly enjoyed his witty perspective. There are people who leave “heavy footsteps” in this world and then their are those who are like butterflies. They find a way in during the quiet moments and steal your attention with their grace. This was my experience with Mr. Steen. May his memories continue to bless his family.
“They say friends are the family we choose. Being chosen was the greatest moment of my life and when Mona passed, it was the worst moment of my life.”
You will be truly missed. With love and respect Alicia.
We will miss our father and grandfather(G’pa) greatly. He was as solid a man as they come, a consistent and quiet source of strength.
Rest in peace Rachel. Your fight is over now.
So sorry for the loss of such a sweet soul. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Harper and the rest of the family at this tough time.
My life was enriched by knowing Brian. Heather, I am so very sorry for your loss of this special man and hope peace will come to you gently in time.
To my dear friend, Phyllis Steen, wife of Harvey, and his children and grandchildren. I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Harvey. I know what a long and loving marriage he and Phyllis shared and how devoted they were to their children and grandchildren. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

Attachment
I will sorely miss my oldest best childhood friend, from the days we climbed trees together in Ashland in the 1940s to hanging out on the Namassin deck with Charley & my Bud in the 1990s. The pandemic did us out of a visit during which she promised we could binge watch the old home movies Dr. Webb obsessively took & which Will (I think) resurrected onto a DVD. (But I may try to come for the memorial.) What a gift to the planet was Ann. Love to you Jenny, Will, Catie & all, from San Francisco.

Prayers for you David. She lived a wonderful life and is rejoicing with her savior today in Heaven. We wish we had known her longer.
I am so sorry for the loss of this kind man. He was my neighbor. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I remember Rachel so well as a student in Fairfax County Schools. She was a sweet girl with her own brand of spunk. Her parents and brother were devoted to her success in school and meeting the challenges of a hearing loss. I so regret that I lost track of her through the years especially now to learn that she suffered and succumbed to breast cancer. It seems that in her relatively short life she accomplished so much with her nursing and winning the hearts of so many people. My prayers go out to her loved ones.
With my deepest sympathy in the loss of Lilla.
Love you 4L<33
Mrs. Gurnee was always there for a hug. A constant in the neighborhood for 50 years! I will miss her smile. Thinking of the Gurnee family. My condolences.
I met Kathy at CCUMC. She was a treasured friend to my daughter and I. The first Sunday I attended church after my mother’s passing, I could not stop the flow of tears no matter how much I tried. Kathy and Suzanne wrapped their arms and hearts around me and started the healing. After church, Kathy treated my daughter and I to breakfast. 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.
Sheila was such a dear lady. I enjoyed seeing her at church every Sunday. May she rest in peace.
Blessings,
Myra Scott
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.
Cindy and Debbie,
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. 💞
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love

I had some good times with aunt Dot. She will be missed. See you in Paradise.

Thinking of you at this time.
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.
I remember Lenny well. Although I was two years behind, we were Sigma Nus together and enjoyed a common intererst in wrestling. He was a successful intramural wrestler. Good memories. RIP, Lenny.

I now give her body and soul back to God and give thanks to him for her LOVE. “I’m a man Can’t you see what I am I live and breathe for you But what good does it do If I ain’t got you —-To love somebody
The way I love you.” Love Always Your Husband.

Theresa and I became friends while watching Wildearth. We chatted many times a week and had great laughs and chuckles and at times sadness. It became obvious to me she was a good person with a good heart. I miss her.
Theresa and I kind of lost track of each other over the years, but I remember the great conversations we had over Facebook back when she lived in California. I will cherish them forever. I’m so very sorry to hear of her passing and I will keep her and her family in my prayers. Rest in Paradise, Theresa. 💔🙏
Rest easy, Theresa.
So very sorry for your loss. Will keep you all in my prayers
So sorry for the loss of your dear sister. Sending prayers and hugs. Love you guys ❤️
Only knew her from her involvement in WildEarth live Safaris but admired her love for and knowledge of the African animals. I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope you know she will be missed in that online community! ♥️
I knew Theresa from Africam. We shared a love for animals and the African bush. She was a wonderful soul and will be sorely missed.
You will be missed Elizabeth. You were a dear soul here on Earth and now will be a dear soul in Heaven.
RIP my sweet friend WE will miss you
Dear Family,
I’d like you to know how much I enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth, if only through the dental office. She was such a nice person and although nervous, always came with a big smile for me. She fought a valiant battle and still smiled. I know you will miss her terribly. I always enjoyed hearing about what the family was up to and getting to know a lot of you. You and Elizabeth are in my prayer intentions. Wishing you peace and love.
Dona Poole
Ms. Janice, you are in our prayers. Owen (DaddyO) was always a bright smile and I will miss his visits.

Dear Louise, Chris, Alex, and Lon, I lived on Delaware Drive back in the 1960s and early 70s and babysat for you three boys when you were very young. The twins were 4, and Lon was a baby! I always enjoyed chatting with Louise and Fred; you were such a warm and interesting family. When I was searching for you today online, just thinking about the old neighborhood in Cleveland Heights, I came upon this obituary for your husband and dad–Fred. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss. He was a lovely man, and always had a kind word for the babysitter. I remember him encouraging me, and asking about my schoolwork. How proud he was of his three boys! You have my very deepest sympathy. xo
Still finding people whose lives you touched, met some yesterday, and share wonderful stories and how you impacted their lives! RIP my dear friend
To the family, are condolences with thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to find that George has passed on. He and Earl always liked to talk about their jobs – as like Sheila we would see the two of them riding their bikes together with Sheila leading the way.

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 sheer breadth of my grandmother’s experience was mind-boggling and we were all truly gifted to have witnessed her.
Rank before suffering & truth
My deepest condolences to the Entire family. I have struggled to find the words to express my feelings for a person who I truly could call a work friend. I literally just spoke with him a week ago and my heart is broken to hear of his passing. I will keep his wife, son and family lifted in prayer for Mike was always the life of the party. He’s smile and crazy laugh will be remembered for times to come. Rest in peace my friend, Gone to soon, but will never be forgotten. Until we meet again, May God Bless your family.

Rest easy uncle David! You will be missed. Prayers of peace and comfort to you, Katie and family. We love you!
The Mikell Family
David certainly did enjoy shooting pool his whole life. Back in the 70’s, he use to come over and shoot pool with me in my parent’s garage. He was such a great guy will be sorely missed.
Pawnee family is forever. David was the irritating brother we all loved and got mad at. But we laughed through good times, weird times, sad times, and hard times- just like a family should. This Pawnee family raised me and my kids so the love is there always. Not goodbye David.. just so long for now. Katie we are always their for you and your family .. it’s the Pawnee way right. We love you all.
I’m so sorry to hear of David’s Passing. It has been many years since I last saw him but I remember him and Chuck and Jean, Priscilla and Jill well as they were all close family friends growing up. RIP David
David Orsargos
Will be forever loved and missed by so many. He always knew how to lighten up the day with his jokes and laughter.(He loved those knuckle sandwiches:-) )
He is forever an angel watching over his family, who we all know he loves so dearly.
From “The Nerd – Nicole”
Rest in peace, Uncle David! I’ll always remember your cheerful smile and laugh. My heart goes out to Katie and family as well as the Orsargos family.
My sincere condolences to Leslie and the family of David on the passing of our loved one and great friend I knew affectionately as David “O”. The great humorist and author, “Will Rogers” has two quotes I am familiar with that fit David Perfectly. One being “I never met a man that I didn’t like”. 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. We all do have great memories of our time with David, and memories last forever. May God bless you. Rest in peace my friend.
Tom Mullen
My dear friend, Marjo will be forever missed. We had so many wonderful times in high school and when I stood up for your wedding.

Much love, Joanne Carpenter
I love you dearest Marjo! We had some good laughs. My life is richer having known you! I miss you already. Though I miss you dearly, I am comforted knowing that you are healed and with Jesus. We will help look out for Dennis.

I am very sorry for the passing of my friend and former teammate, David Orsargos.
We played for several years in the 50s and over Tidewater Senior Softball League and I remember well David’s skill at batting, running, and especially making seemingly impossible catches in the outfield.
Tony Smith, friend and teammate.
Our deepest condolences from Susan and I.
My mind always seems to wander to the holidays at Aunt Olinda’s home and all us kids and adults having a feast. The sense of family was so strong and comforting. Who can forget Uncle Tony shooting Santa off the roof! Those days of family and close comfort seem so long ago, but the memories remain so strong and fresh to me.
RIP to all who have gone before us.
Terry you will be missed by your beautiful boys which you loved so much,you were a great mother,my
God bless you and fly high
I just found out you left this world. You will be missed greatly, but I’ll see you again someday. Dennis, I love you dearly. May God give all of you peace and comfort during this time of mourning.
So sorry for your family’s loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sorry to see that Lyn has passed away. Friend from long ago.
Lynn and I were friends for many years and shared many wonderful experiences. The last two years have been very difficult for me because I knew that something was wrong but was unable to find out what it was. I loved her very much and have missed her terribly. I hope that Angie and John will find comfort in knowing that they had a wonderful mother who loved them so much and was so proud of them both.
Sherry, Michael and Jim :

Teri was a great woman and a warrior. I am going to miss her. I hope she is catching up with her sisters. Love Kimberli Roessing-Anderson and family.
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.
My sincere condolences to Shery, Mike, James and the Demarest and Patierno familys. May she rest in peace.

Dear Jim, Julie and Family,
You guys always treated Momma very special. You were devoted to her. We enjoyed running into you at Mc Donald’s, one of Momma’s favorite places to hang. Momma lived a long time and it was wonderful to know that she got to see her granddaughter before she went to be with the Lord. We hope that with each passing day, your grief lessons just knowing that Momma is free of her imperfect body and that she is enjoying her time with God. Fondly, Ed and Edie

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Saxton Family on the passing of Kenny (Big Red). Growing up right across the street from Red, we spent nearly every day from the ages of five through fifteen, growing up, playing, exploring, playing sports and getting into trouble. 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
Two longs, a short and a long to you, old railroader. You were one of the best!! Dick

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.
My heartfelt condolences to the Balaban family on their loss of a wonderful guy.
I consider Jim, part of our family. He was a good generous man. He donated money to my sister when hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. She sends her condolences. Jim will be missed by our family. He was loved by all of us. Jim rest in peace. I know you are in heaven. Carmen & Ray
We will never forget Jim, and are grateful to have had him in our lives. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.
With love and our sincerest condolences,
The Ricketts Family
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
Jim was a treasured and trusted friend. While I was only able to know him for just a few years, the friendship that he offered felt like a lifetime. His easy going manner and engaging ways of getting along with others are traits I sure hope to emulate. RIP, good sir! It was awfully good to know you.
Burke and I send our sympathy to the Balaban family. Burke has fond “Coast Guard” memories about Alan.

It always gave me great pleasure to talk with Kathy at one of her mother’s family/friends summer meals. She was clever, insightful and talented. I’ll miss her. My love to all the family.
Joel Nathan King, aka George Washington & too many characters to name, Elder, Dad, friend…
The world has lost so much; such a wonderful example of how we’re supposed to behave. He loved He made every person he met feel significant with the way he engaged them on their “ground”. He was fair and helpful; he was generous with his time and skills. He was a really nice guy. Everyone I know that knew Joel has said how much they will miss him but I for one will try to immulate his way of being humble and helpful. Fly free Joel.
My sympathy to Joel’s family and friends. He was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed by all who knew him and who blossomed under his friendship. The entertainment world is lacking one more consummate professional! May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dear Joel!
Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Saxton Family on the passing of Kenny. We always enjoyed having him at our home helping us with various woodworking projects.
So very sad to hear about your Mom. Those of us who knew her loved her. She will be missed. We worked on many Maury reunions and looked forward to our Maury luncheons each month. My best wishes to her family. She is in good hands.
What a lovely obituary. I met her once at Curtis and Ellen’s house in Raleigh, and she was such a charming lady and conversationalist. It is a tribute to her that she had good friends she kept from 1st grade, the Larchmont Girls. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the family, including my good friends and former neighbors, Curtis and Ellen.
Stephanie was one of the most perfect friend a man could have had. Since Maury our group of friends have had a special bond placed on us. We all grew up with a childhood spirit that has stayed with us 70 years. Our group was blessed when she married Gilbert and his love for her added him at the head of the class. Life was enriched by the love of Gilbert and Stephanie. God Bless her. Sonny & Sandra Forbes
Dear Carl, Julie and family,

Dear Lisa, I don’t think I ever met your husband, but I can relate to your losing him at such a young age. Always enjoyed sharing pictures of his work. Hope you will be happy in your new life. Glad you will be there for your precious grandson and continue to post pictures of him. Time is a great healer. My best to your family. You and Kenny did good.
I want to extend my sympathies to Gilbert & family for your loss of Stephanie. I met her at Poplar Branch Baptist & loved her. When she moved to Va Bch I visited her. Saw her home when she bought it & saw the beautiful job she did decorating. Yes, she was so talented. She was so sweet & a joy to be around. I’m so sorry for your loss. She will.be missed by all who knew her..
Sheree, we are so sorry for your loss.May God be with you through this sad time and always. Bunny and Priscilla

I had the pleasure of working with Joel on numerous film projects. He was a very sweet and caring soul. Always helpful and upbeat, he was a true gentleman. He was quite talented and I always enjoyed seeing him in action on set or on the big screen. I will miss seeing him again in person. Prayers to his family. RIP Joel.
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF STEPH – FROM MAURY HIGH TO THE DINNERS WITH STEPH AND GILBERT. SHE WAS A REALLY DELIGHTFUL HOSTESS AND A REMARKABLE COOK.
BUT EVEN MORE THAN ANY OF THE ABOVE SHE WAS A PERSON YOU WANTED TO BE WITH ON ANY OCCASION NO MATTER WHAT WAS INVOLVED. SHE WOULD MAKE ANYTHING A GOOD TIME.
I WILL GREATLY STEPHANIE!

John Busch was the finest boss I ever worked for in over 40 years. He was a prince among men. Patient, intelligent, and fatherly. As the Chief Staff Officer for Commander, Amphibious Squadron TWO, he had the presence of mind to let a handful of Lieutenants run the squadron. 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. We had the illusion we running things, but ever so quietly from behind the scenes, John Busch made sure everything stayed on track. He was a great boss and a great shipmate and friend. I will miss his wisdom and advice. May his memory be eternal.
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.
Aunt Stephanie was a wonderful caring person. Always smiling and such bright light in the family. She will be dearly missed until we meet again. God bless her and keep her. Love ya Peanut and Gail !
Thank you for spreading sunshine and love through your music. You were a loved teacher.
Sharing tales of those we’ve lost is how we keep from really losing them.
Sorry Rick to hear of your passing. My family will always remember the night you lent my teenage son a vest and tie so he could go to the school dance. I can still hear my daughter when she was little and we would pull into the driveway. When she would see you she would yell Rick,Rick and just had to tell you something very important. She could not get out of the car fast enough. You were loved by many.
Growing up in Windsor Wood with Kathy and Kara, Mr. Nolan was part of my childhood. I remember being impressed with his music collection especially his Fleetwood Mac albums. Sally and Jim seemed so young and hip. I also respected how Mr. Nolan had time for and would listen to me. 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. I was fortunate enough to tag along on a family trip to California to visit his mom. I still have so many great memories of San Francisco from that adventure. So sorry for your loss,
Mary Inman
I am very sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I have known him for over 50 years. We first met as graduate students at Washington State University. We both taught at Norfolk State University. When I left Norfolk State in 1977, my greatest sorry leaving my good friend. Jim was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He was a true intellectual, who always enjoyed academic debate.
May you Rest In Peace.
So sorry to here Cathy.
Gonna miss Jay, what a true gentleman. Samantha good times together. Ride on brother, till we meet again.
Our deepest condolences. Lost too soon, but never forgotten. Our prayers are with your family. Say hello to Matt for me. Now there are 2 angels watching over us. Things will never be the same without you Marcus.
One of the sweetest people I ever had the pleasure of working with when he was a ferry boat captain. My prayers to the family. “Captain Morgan” will be missed.
With sad heart I send to you Kathie my deepest condolences. You and your family are in my prayers.
Growing up, I knew Glenn more as Payten’s older brother. It shocks me, looking back, to note that he was less than two years older than I. I wish now I had taken the time to know him better . . . I look forward to reading other’s memories of Glenn in these pages.
Please know that, though our families have grown apart over the years, we still hold you close in our hearts, and our love and prayers are with you now.
Clearly, Glenn loved animals and, in light of that, we’ve made a donation to the Norfolk SPCA in his memory.
Late in learning about this loss. Quite a sweet lady and a wonderful family unit. Our heartfelt condolences to Donald and the family. Terribly sorry we did not know until so late. I will treasure having had a dance with her.
Jill and Cris Traywick

Mary Joyce. We are so sorry. Eleanor called me to let me know the bad news.
I know there are no words of comfort.
Love. Den & Maribeth.
Words can’t express our sadness for our niece, who left us far to soon. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Darlene’s family that you’ll find strength and comfort knowing others share the loss of one so dear to you.
I remember Alfred from growing up at the beach and at va Tech. He was a good friend.
Rest well Al. Peace be with you.
Dear Mark, Sammie and Zoe, I offer my sincere condolences with the passing of AJ. She was a wonderful person and I enjoyed our time serving the WBHS girls soccer program. I know her family meant the world to her and I’m so glad she got to experience the joy of becoming a grandmother. AJ will be missed and you will be in our prayers.
Words cannot express the sadness we feel for the loss of our sweet beautiful friend Linda. So thankful for the memories we have with her. She had a way of making you feel important and loved. The world won’t be the same without her. She was a dear friend and our deepest sympathy goes out to all of her family. Lifting you up in prayer for peace and strength at this time.
Trish and Jeff Melnick
From the SAWYER Family —- Our Family would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the many kind expressions of sympathy extended to us during our time of bereavement. May God bless and keep each and every one of you in his Loving Care. We are grateful for the support of our Family, Friends, Neighbors and Bon Air Baptist Church James River Campus.
My heartfelt condolences to Sally Jo and the entire family for the loss of Jim. Even though I haven’t seen Jim since grad school days, I clearly remember him as a kind and caring person with a good sense of humor who enjoyed talking with and socializing with others. I have no doubt he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and son, as well as a top-notch professor.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to all family and friends who loved Linda. I did not know Linda well, but when I saw her and spoke to her she made me feel like I was one of her very, very close friends. She had a unique way of making people happy. Her smile and warm heartedness was truly her way into our hearts. She was loved by many and her memory will be passed on through all of us. When we hear music being played we know Linda will be right there listening, smiling, dancing.
The sweetest and most kind hearted person I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. He let my nephew drive the ferry boat when my brother came up from Alabama to visit. It made my nephew’s whole trip. I enjoyed working with Captain Morgan.
Linda, you were a ball of fire!!! I cant begin to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing your face and talking with you about work!!! You definitely knew where I was always coming from!!! I’m glad your at peace now! Miss you dearly!!!
In Australia, we would say that “Theresa was a beaut.” A fabulous person. She will be missed by many. Those stars in the sky? They are Theresa looking over us, and with affection.
Rest In Peace. Dance with the angels. Your struggle is over, you are now whole again.
I miss you so much mom, I pray your happy in Heaven with daddy and the boys. Rip my beautiful until we see each other again. I love u
Mr. Morgan was one of a kind. He would bring us “fat pills” (donuts!!) at Dr. Hancock’s office. We struck up a friendship and often talked about boats (my father in law was a tugboat capt)
He would bring me his special maritime newspapers!! I am grateful to have known such a special person! Sending love and peace to the family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Winstead family and friends.
I knew Glenn from our days at Norview, parties, skipping school, Sunday football games, hunting at the farm. We all hung around Pizza Chef, Glenn worked at Yum Yum Chicken, I won’t soon forget the silly hat he had to wear. I remember him and a few others riding in the trunk of the car going across the HRBT, you had to pay a per passenger toll back then.
I remember us going hunting in Ronnie’s old 56 Dodge Wagon. It smoked so bad you would have thought we were mosquito control. We stopped at a station in Richmond and told them to fill it up with oil and check the gas.
What a wonderful friend!!!
Masako, Becky and Donna, Jeanne and I and all our family are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will be out of own on the 6th and will not be able to be at the service but we will be there in spirit and prayers. You know how much we have cherished your friendship over many ,many years. May be be with Don and with you all. Love , the Klesch family.
Rest in Peace my sweet friend. My life is better for having known you.
Our condolences to the whole Morgan family on the loss of Mr. Morgan. Even in adulthood, he’s still “Mr. Morgan” to me! He was a good man and neighbor. He would always allow my brothers (and later my son when we came to visit my folks)to come fishing in the pond and wander down to see if we had any luck. We have good memories of Revelle Drive and he was always part of them! May he rest in eternal peace until we all meet again.
So sorry for your loss. We were childhood friends through Church and graduated together. Fond memories of those days.
Keeping all of the family in my prayers.
Our deepest condolences to Masako and all of the Morgans and Kitenkos. We were truly blessed when we became your neighbors, and us Klesch kids have many, many fond memories of growing up there with y’all on Revelle – and nothing was better than taking that ferry ride and looking up to wave at your neighbor safely carrying everyone across. We’ll miss him dearly as we miss Ronnie. Our prayers and wishes for solace are with you.
So sorry to hear of your passing. I always looked forward to talking with you at church. You were a very giving person and that is what I liked most about you. I will miss you my friend but I know where you are and I will see you again. Rest In Peace my friend.
So sorry. Jim was indeed a great guy to work with for many years.
I have known Joy since I was 17 years old. She has always been… sweet…kind….caring & loving.
God bless you Joy & your family ❤️
My thoughts and prayers are with the Lord family. I went to elementary school with Joyce and she was such a nice person.
I’m sorry to hear about Joyce passing. I’m sure her family will miss her dearly.
So sorry to hear of Roxie’s passing. Loved working with her in hospice and she was always great to her patients. She will be missed.
It goes without saying, that we were all so sad to hear of Wade’s passing. We all have such fond memories of us all as kids. Wade playing guitar with Chris is one of my last memories of him. I have all of you in my prayers and am thankful that Wade is not longer suffering. With love, Kim
Roxy was working hospice when I joined as a chaplain. She always had the answer to my questions. Patients would request her as their nurse. She had a big heart and is an example of the exemplary hospice nurse.
My Prays go out to Brett and his family, so sorry to hear this news.
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
Roxi you will be missed by all of us. RIP
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know I am thinking of alll of you.
Luke was a great guy. I played JV football with Luke and he was a far better offensive end than I was. He had hands. Oh man ,did he ever have hands. Sorry to hear of his passing. Best to his immediate family and relations.
Truly devastating,I spoke with him that very night.I can honestly say Ric,was one of the hardest working man, I have ever known,always up at the crack of day,played with his 3 besties Poo-bear,Ellie-may,and one of there pups Jaguar,and then out the door he went,often not returning till long after the sun had gone down.He was truly an amazing person,huge ❤️,and always ready to jump to the aid of a friend.I loved him then, Always will! Ric I am at a loss of words,knowing the phone won’t ring ,and your voice won’t be on the other end. I would see you again hon,on the other side.Look for me,as I will you…..
I am so sorry for your loss he was a wonderful person I used to go inland reef when he was bartender
Sean could brighten any room with his personality. He is part of some of my best memories of VA Beach. He was more than a friend and will truly be missed. My heart goes out to you all. Sending prayers of peace and comfort.

I will always remember the good times that Ned & I had together. He was my brother & I loved him. May he rest in “Peace”
Arlene and I enjoyed many lunches and get togethers over the past. After lunch we would go shopping and had many laughs. I will miss her friendship but know she is now resting comfortably in our Lord’s arms.

Rest In Peace Eddie.

Dear Duesberry Family,
Shaylyn and I both are very saddened to learn of Barbara’s passing. She was a true guardian angel and God send to us, when we most needed it. As Shaylyn’s daycare provider and then alternate daycare for so many years, we felt her love. She was so kind and caring, Shaylyn always enjoyed being there, even as often times the oldest. I cannot remember a time when Shaylyn did not want to go to Miss Barbara’s. And I always felt comfortable taking her. I always marveled at how clean the house was, with so many little ones always there and coming and going. I still can’t keep my house to those standards! Shaylyn is now 19 years old, and was truly upset when I told her the news. Please accept our sincere condolences. Debbie Scher
This popped up and it is always interesting to see my name. I am 4 years younger than this lady was. Hope she had a good life. I am thankful for every holiday season that finds me alive! I have had a condition that has left me slightly disabled but I have many blessings. I write a weekly newspaper column. Feel free to find me on Facebook.
John was my half-brother. God bless, may he rest in God;s peace
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sean was a good guy with a sense of humor, their is nothing like loosing a son, but with GOD grace and mercy you will get through this, he never leave us no matter what the situation is. Sean is in a place where he will be happy all the time and using that great sense of humor.
You and your family have our most heartfelt and sincere condolences in this time of loss. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for the entire family. He was a wonderful brother-in-law and I will miss him. So glad that he is no longer suffering. I will always remember his sense of humor.
Nolan was one of my favorites. Loved him like a brother. My heart hurts that he is gone and I have lots of memories of him and my sister Jane. They truly loved each other and I feel they are together again. Prayers for his family. 🙏🙏♥️😘
So sorry for your loss.
What a wonderful career 🇺🇸
Hugs and prayers for the family ❤️
I absolutely loved Ricky. He has been my friend since 1990, and he has always been reliable, lovable and an all out a great man. I am deeply saddened to hear of his death, and I am kicking myself for not turning onto Blackwater Road, every time I road down Mt. Pleasant to Virginia Beach from Chesapeake. Life is too short, to not take that right and go say hi. My heart aches for the loss of a super great friend, brother, son, uncle, etc. I am sincerely sorry for all of our loss.
Missing you already DAD and our routine. I LOVE YOU ❤️
Seeing the pictures of you smiling with the great grand babies reminds me of the days when all of ours were young. Too many memories, get togethers ,TV football, holidays and dinners to count with You and Mom at almost all of them. Can’t imagine how it will be without you both. Grateful that you are now with mom and all our other loved ones. lt must be a joyous time. Sending my love Caryn
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!
Johnnie Amy and the boys
My deepest condolences for the loss of your mother,grandmother and friend. May Lynn Rest In Peace with the Lord
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 will always treasure the coins and the NASA stickers he always sent me when I was a kid. I will also treasure the rifle he gave me on my 6th birthday. Life moves too fast. I wish we could have been closer. I love ya uncle Nolan.
Linda and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Eddie was an all round good guy, who never met a stranger. Keeping you and your family in prayer.

My condolences to the Whalley family for their great loss. I am so sad for my dear friends. Mr. Whalley was a wonderful loving and caring father and my memories of him for the past 50 plus years are all full of happy ones.
So very sad to hear this news. Kenny and I were joined at the hips through Jr High and High School. I pray that his family share in the knowledge that he is in a welcome place and know that he is now watching over them.
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child has to be the worst of all. Praying for your family.
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.
I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Bland. I worked with him at the Navy Public Works. Mr. Bland always treated me with respect. I would tell him he reminded me of my Dad because he was very patient, a hard worker and a soft spoken man. Again, I am sorry for your family’s loss. May he Rest In Peace.
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.
Jana,
I am sending healing prayers and comforting hugs during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Nancy’s passing. She was such a kind and loving person. I loved to hear of her time in the military, she was a trailblazer for those of us who came after her. She was a great listener and helped me many times over the years. My deepest condolences to Maurice. Rest in peace Nancy, you will be missed.
OMG James, you will be heart felt missed by all of us who knew You. You have been ailing for some time & God has taken your suffering away. To Athena , be comforted in this fact . Thank you for being there in James time of need.
James, you will be missed…we laughed a lot, cried a lot (mostly over our fur babies) and confided a lot to each other…has been a pleasure knowing you the last 30 plus years…thanks for the great hair days!!!
James, you are sincerely missed. All those talks we had. You were a wonderful friend who always cared. Thanks for making me look good. I love you.
James I sure will miss you. We have had some wonderful laughs together. You always made me look and feel great as well as my mom and husband Bill. I met James when he worked at Rice’s at Janaf. My sympathy and prayers to the family.
James, Tami’s comments fit perfectly. You did my hair for almost 30 years and we cried and laughed too. You always said you could do my hair blindfolded!!! Will miss you so much!!!!❤
I was saddened to read that James had died on Nov.15, 2021. I loved working wit him we had a lot of fun. He was a kind and thoughtful man and a fabulous hairdresser.
I will miss him but remember him with kind thoughts. My sincere sympathy to all of James family .
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.
My heart is full of sadness. James has done my hair since 1999. I will never find anyone to do what he did with my hair. He was a kind, caring and a loving person. I followed him from shop to shop. When I lost track of him for a few years I never stopped looking and I always found him. Rest easy my friend and the angles are lucky to have you with them. You will be missed more than words can be put on paper. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family ♥
Pat Taylor
So sorry to hear of your loss. I can’t imagine how difficult losing a son must be. Will be praying for you and your family.

I love you Dad …
James–Maddy & I were just talking about you the other day wondering how you are. We are saddened to hear that you are gone. You always made us laugh! We love you & miss you lots–Lisa, Scott, Maddy, & Sheila
James you were one heck of a hair cutter and one heck of a human being. It was always an experience getting my hair done. 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.
Ed was my dear friend for many, many years. We met in the 1980’s when I was his CASREP Expeditor for the Atlantic fleet amphibious ships. Ed was at COMPHIBRON 12 in Norfolk and I was a civilian at Navy Depot in Mechanicsburg, PA. We always kept in touch throughout the years. Thank you to his son who called me last evening to tell me of Ed’s passing. My deepest sympathy to Ed’s family for your loss. Ed was a great guy to know. You will be so missed my dear friend.

My deepest sympathy to Richard’s family and friends. I have known Richard since he was in high school. He and my son Kevin were the best of friends. Richard was at our home most of the time and ate supper with us many many nights, when his mom had to work late. Every time I would ask him if he wanted to eat with us he would always ask me “what are you having” even tho’ he and I both would knew he was going to eat with us no matter what I was cooking. God Bless you Richard

Alex was a great brother in law. I remember how much he enjoyed his Ford Mustang. Condolences to his family. Rest in Prace.
Alex was my older brother. He loved natures animals. He also loved working in the garden. When it was time to harvest he would share everything he planted with family and friends. He loved helping where he could. Will miss you and say hi to our parents. Love ya.

When we visited you in the hospital. 💪💪💪 strong man
It’s not gonna be the same without you Richard, I’m gonna miss you. I already do. You had more to offer than you may have realized. I learned a lot from you. You were a good father in law, especially for me personally. And you were a good friend. I really enjoyed our conversations, hanging out on the front porch and listening to music. Thanks for caring the way you did. I love you man. I hope we meet again.
Sorry for your loss sis. Prayers going up for you and the family
Oh, Barbara, please know that we all wish you solace and comfort. May you find peace, and may peace find you.

Bun bun I miss you so much. Living together was such a blessing in both of our lives. You’re exactly what I needed in my life at that time. I am thankful I was apart of your life. You’re forever in my heart. Everytime I bake now, I always think of you. You loved your sweets! You were like family to me and always will be. You were the grandma I never had. And as you said, “You are the daughter i never had.” As I am tearing up typing this, those words will never leave my mind or heart. Thank you for loving Amelia the way you did. Y’all’s use to sit in your recliner chair, watching her show while I cooked breakfast for all of us. You use to play with her toys with her and watch her just grow. You loved it. And I loved watching you love the joy she had. We love you bunny. Rest In Peace my dear friend. ❤️
Hi Doug and Family –
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s not easy losing a spouse or parent. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart is very heavy knowing that you’re gone. I wish healing vibes to all your family and friends. You will be missed by many. RIP Richard.
Pam was a very kind hearted person. I know she dealt with many difficult health issues throughout her life. However she always had a positive attitude and would say the nicest things to make your day just a little brighter regardless of how she felt. I was sad to hear of her passing.
My brother will always be in my heart..
So sorry for your loss Michelle. You were a good daughter and loving person. Mom is no longer in pain and at peace. Charlie is probably sitting on her lap right now while the both of them sleep.
Rest in peace Gail.
Love you pappy miss u a lot , i just smoked a fat blunt for you
Sending love and light.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Guentz families and will be praying for everyone during this challenging time. May God walk beside you and guide you through.
Charlotte was the teacher of my oldest son when he was in third grade and fourth grade. He’s 15 now. He still talks about her, especially when he’s going through rough patches in school. I decided to look for her and hopes that I could have my son speak to her again. I’m so heartbroken to see this. She’s left a lasting impression on my sons life and I’m thankful for the life that she lived. My condolences to her family.
Dear Doug,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Melody at a much too young age. I am ever so grateful that I have so far been able to be cancer free since my bout with the disease. So much has changed at the Agriculture Department since you were here as a deputy. I will be thinking of you and your family at this very difficult time. My very best to the rest of the family,
Debbie
I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. Witnessing the closeness of your family ties through the years makes me know how devastating the loss of Alex is for all of you. I’m sending my blessings, my prayers and my wish for comfort for all of you. Chrissy, I’m here for you any time.
Our first Thanksgiving without you. My heart hurts. I miss you so much. I love you mom.
My heartfelt sympathy. I worked with Jack at Colonial Williamsburg. He was a lovely man, and I always enjoyed talking with him when our paths crossed. May God lend him grace and care for those he loved.
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.
Mickey, I miss talking about democracy with you. I miss your insights. Peace, Scott Hartman, former student and colleague
My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Courtney.
I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Love to you and Chad.
My wife and I are so sorry to hear of our friend’s recent passing. I’ve known Bill for many years while he was with the OWCP office in Norfolk. He was a great adjudicator and friend. He and Carol always supported our Greek Festival at Sts Constantine & Helen church. They are back together again. May they rest in peace. Memory Eternal. Out thoughts and prayers are with you Sophia and Chad.
We miss her and wish we had more time together. We are praying for the family.
Mandi and Chad,
I cannot begin to tell you both how sorry I am to hear of Bill’s passing. It came as such a shock since he had recently stopped by to visit. I have such fond memories of him and Carol that I will always treasure. The many nights in their den laughing and reminiscing will forever mean the world to me. This is truly a huge loss. Prayers and condolences to you and Chad during this very sad and difficult time. Much love to you both. Christine Stone
Sophia and Chad, I am Phyllis’ daughter. I was so shocked and saddened when my Mom called to tell me of your dad’s sudden passing. Bill was such a kind and gentle soul. He always had a big hug and smile when I saw him, the last time was for George’s 90th birthday two years ago. I will keep you both in my prayers. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.” –Leo Buscaglia
It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of my friend Jack- all the days we stood together in front of buildings at Colonial Williamsburg over the last half decade, I was always entertained by his dry humor and grand stories. More recently crossing paths with both of you, walking dogs in our shared neighborhood, I looked forward to seeing more often. Barbara, my deepest sympathy for the loss of someone so dear and special to us all.
RIP MASTER CHIEF. WE SERVED TOGETHER ONBOARD USS SHREVEPORT. 87 TO 90.
J.D. And I had some great times working together. Lots of laughter along the way. Prayers to the family.
Rest in peace sweet Glenda…I was a coworker of Ms Glenda’s at the Navy Exchange.. She was such a sweet lady and I remember her always bringing in cupcakes at our holiday parties. And sometimes I would walk with her to her car at the end of our shifts. Rest peacefully Ms Glenda. I’ll miss you… Cindy from the Package Store
With our deepest sympathy. May our condolences comfort you knowing we are praying for you and thinking of you during this sad time. I know Audrey loved the Lord… she is among the angels and she is in your hearts forever. God bless you all. 😇❤
Arlene,
Today, the second anniversary of Mickey’s passing, I came up to Tri-C Western to walk around and remember Mickey and his contributions here.
Peace, Scott Hartman
I had the pleasure of caring for Mrs. Gail she was more then a patient to me she was my friend we had a lot of good laughs together and shared a few tears. I happy she gets to be with her little Charie she loved dearly and her husband she deeply missed. Love you Mrs. Gail I hope you are now in peace.
My beautiful Mom, you taught us a lot throughout life. I know you are now at peace which is well deserved. Thank you for protecting each of us. I love you for eternity. Bye for now.
You treated me like a son. At a time when I really needed it. Thank you for being you, sunshine is very dim compared to the light of life you gave to so many of us.
Love you and always will.
I met Audrey in 95 when I was moving back to Washington with her son Tom we stopped to say goodbye and she had breakfast for us she reminded me of Florence Henderson so bubbly so sweet and the food was on point. Your son is an awesome man he has been my friend for the past 20 years or so he has the biggest heart and I know he must have got that from you. Be with God be in peace we will all miss you but we know that you will be watching over us 🥰😘

Mommy the world is gonna suck now that your gone. Im never gonna not miss you. I don’t even know what to say cause words can’t express how much I miss you already. But im happy you aren’t in pain anymore, but I selfishly wish you were here with that being said. I’ll do good thing with my life and be a good person too like I promised and I’ll try and be strong for you like you were. You were/are the strongest best mom there will ever be. I love you don’t forget about me cause I won’t forget about you. I’ll make sure Levi remembers the best grandma ever too. Till we meet again mommy. Love you forever.
The one thing I remember most about Lou is when you guys would come to WV, Lou and Dad sitting at our kitchen table drinking coffee and laughing. She was always happy sitting there.
Sorry for your loss, I know she is happy to be with Bill again,God bless you and your family
Cdr Pennypacker was CO of the DPD of NAS Norfolk when my husband and I met him and subsequently Dot. We remained friends over the years and loved and will miss them both.
My thoughts and prayers are with Bill’s family. I have many memories of Bill when he was boss to my mother, Lucille McMillian (who passed in 2007) at the Department of Labor in Norfolk. She was very fond of her boss, as were all of us.
RIP my friend. OV Golf Course won’t be the same without you!
My deepest condolences to the Voultsides family.
Although I never had the honor of serving under Mr. “V”’s leadership, I am told he was an exceptional man. I did, however, have the pleasure of meeting Bill several times thereafter at office gatherings and I will always remember the smile he bought with him, not to mention the outstanding baklava, handmade.
Thank you for everything Bill and the difference you made – God be with you and “Fair Winds and Following Seas”.
Tami and Kari, we are all so very sorry to hear about Bob. He was a sweet and thoughtful man. Mom always thought the world of him. He will be missed by all the Blake girls. Just remember we are here for you.
Ann and Dell I am so sorry for your loss… prayers for you and your family….
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Please accept my condolences. I enjoyed getting to know her, and you, over the past many years. Your mother did have a wonderful sense of humor. I know her faith, and yours, has brought you much comfort in this difficult time. Prayers and thoughts are with you both.
As a sister-in-law twice, I myself lived quite a few years of her life around her.She was as said a very happy person even when going through bad times. She was always an upbeat person. I met her and her family for the first time when my husband Ray (Dane Ed’s ) brother got out of the military and we took him home to Virginia when his daughter Trudy was one year old. So we lived close to them for years in Newport News Va. we had lots of good times with them until Dane Ed’s passing, and even after that when she married my brother James and we saw each other quiet often. Lou was a good person and we cared a lot for her and the family. I was sorry to hear about her passing and would have liked to have seen her again. I offer my condolences to her and the family. Will be praying for comfort for them. Loved them all. Sis-in-law Mary

To the Ennis family, we are so sorry for your loss. John was a good man and loved by so many. May he Rest In Peace. I’m sure Bubba and Pop welcomed him with loving arms. Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Prayers and strength.
Our condolences for the loss of your Mother. With deepest sympathy from your coworkers at Hampton Roads Transit Customer Service department.
What an incredible story! She was an amazing woman, and I hope the stories and memories you have of her give you peace and comfort.
My brother-in-law was one of a kind! I am thankful for him and I have very special memories that will stay in my heart forever. He acted with kindness without effort not realizing how important a simple act or conversation was to someone else. I will miss him, his smile, his antics, and his love. Forever in my heart!
So many memories were made in the short 13 years you were with me. Ill never forget the impact you had on everyone around you, me included. I love you grandma.
An even shorter 9 years, guess the time feels closer when you think of loved ones.
To the Ennis family and friends…… I’m sorry for your loss. John was one of my best friends. No one was anymore hard working, intelligent and honest than John, He was one of the most talented people I ever worked with. I always felt like John and Bubba had my back and I hope they felt like I had theirs to. We worked and surfed together from V.B. and The Outerbanks to California and Hawaii.
Rest in peace brother, you bought happiness to all.

Becky I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know him well but met him several times and he was a very nice man and I enjoyed talking with him. I know it is a hard road ahead but if you need me don’t hesitate to call. Prayers for you and the family.
Although I knew Frank only a short time, he made a big impression on me as being a good man, and treated the people he cared about well.
I will miss his smiling face and his great breakfasts he would prepare when ever Robert and I visited!!!
My heart and prayers go out to all of his family and friends!🙏🙏🙏
RIP old Friend
My sweet Aunt Patsy!What a wonderful woman! So loving to all. As a young child I thought you were beautiful and never looked your age. I once asked you what do you do to stay so young looking, what do you put on your face – your response PONDS Cream. That’s it. But really it was natural- Natural Beauty. I’m truly heart broken!! 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.
Judy D.
So many Frank-memories: Frank playing backyard Thanksgiving football, taking wonderful care of Aunt Joyce and Uncle Jack, eating his amazing ribs and ham and peas, Christmas mornings – oh, Frank, you are missed.
Attachment
Frank look so handsome all dressed up. He will be missed at our family gatherings. My heart goes out to Tanya. RIP.
Oh, Frank. You were a fantastic cook and storyteller; I only met you once but enjoyed your company. Tanya: he leaves a hole in your heart but hopefully plenty of good memories to help fill the gap. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thoughts and prayers with Tanya, her family and with Frank’s family. We had the privilege of meeting Frank at Brenda and Doug’s 4th of July party in NH. I remember how he loved life and Tanya. I also remember that when he visited NH in winter and want to take go snowmobiling to experience the fun of riding in the snow. Appreciate Frank’s service to our country! God Bless!
Remembering the good times we shared at ESI and the Shipyard… rest in peace my friend…
Rest in Peace Frank.
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 attended FMA with Eddie and we were roommates for two years. He often invited me home with him and we shared many adventures. I am sad to hear of his passing and send condolences to his family.
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.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Whittaker. I worked for him at JCPenney in Fredericksburg for many years. He was the kindest, most knowledgeable, fair, and gentle Manager I worked for in my 17 years with JCP. May his memories build an everlasting link to your hearts. Rest in peace, Mr. Whittaker.
I knew Rich for many years. We played against each other in many tennis tournaments when he was John Lee’s partner. He was always fun to play against and it was even more fun to beat him. I saw him progress from an O.K. tennis player to a really good tennis player. It was great to see. I will miss kidding with him. May he rest in peace.
Wanted to reach out to Gary Drew and his family to send our sincerest sympathies with Brenda’s passing. I remember sitting on the porch at Allan and Lauren’s home in South Norfolk celebrating a birthday. Brenda was so easy to talk to and just the nicest lady. The hard part begins now, living without her. Please know that we will keep Gary and his family in our prayers. Take care Gary and know that Brenda sleeps in your heart.
Cindy Matthews (Lauren’s mother)
Heartbroken to hear of the passing of my good friend & former client, Rich West. Rich was one of the finest Christian men I have ever known. It was my pleasure to have been a part of his purchase of 2 residences. I was delighted when he found the love if his life, Melissa! Rich led many to Christ and planted the seed of hope in many more. My condolences to Melissa and family members.
Your Partners at JCPenney store 2042 in Fredericksburg Va. and I will miss you Roger. Rest in peace.

We are so very sorry for the passing of Eddie. Our prayers are with you during this time and know that Jesus is always with you.

So deeply sorry for your family’s loss. He was a wonderful, young man and He will be missed so much by all who knew him: whether they knew him early in his life or recently. Prayers are going up for his wife, Melissia, his mom, Joan, both his sisters, and the rest of his family. I pray for love, peace, and comfort from God. We will all see him in heaven!
You were some special lady Mrs. Gurnee. All the valentines days and Easters and summers I spent at your house I was always treated like one of your kids- you even threaten to shut my shower off If it went more than three minutes Wayback in the 70s. Waited in gas lines with you lots of great memories lots of fun. You are loved by many including me. I will definitely miss you
Staying with the Gurnee’s in Virginia Beach was always fun. Gail and I always tried to do something fun or silly to Mr. Gurnee but he never let on if it worked or not. Not gonna tell what it was now. He and my father worked for the same organization which is now NCIS. We all met in the Philippines in 1971 and stayed friends all these years. He was truly a wonderful man and I will miss him
My heart is sad. I pray God’s grace and peace to you all. I always treasured my time with Ed coaching softball at Norfolk Christian. He gave me a love for coaching that carried me through 30 years of teaching. He will be missed.
Ed was the best Brother-in-law ever ! he loved giving gifts . Knew the ice cream i liked,and brought it to my door. I could always count on a smile and a big bear hug..
Fred and i will miss him so much. He will always be in our sweet memories.
Rest in Peace dear brother.
Dad I love and miss u so much I’m upset ur gone but ur with the love of ur mommy I love u both rip

Jr was my nephew. I remember him when he was little. A little fireball that one was. And was a fireball til the end. The last phone call we had he had told me was tired. And if cancer came back he wasn’t going to fight it. He was tire and now he’s at peace. He will be missed. He was loved. Praying for his sister Ann and brother John, the rest of family. Find comfort in knowing he’s free now and not in pain.
Miss you everyday and love you so much dad!!
My heart goes out to Virginia’s family. I enjoyed working with her at Waterworks.
My sincerest condolences to Deidra, Chris, Ed and their families at the loss of Ginny. She was a great asset to her profession and a great boss to work for. I will be forever grateful she saw something in me and taught me Records Management. She will live on in our hearts and with the impacts she made on her profession.
To the entire Jones Family –
Ginny was a remarkable person…and a gifted and talented professional. We both arrived in Virginia about the same time, and her knowledge and advice were treasured. Friend, colleague, mentor and all-round fine human being.
“Rest Eternal grant unto her, O Lord, and may Light Perpetual shine upon her.”
I have a picture of you in my mind, in a field of flowers in heaven. You are chasing a purple butterfly, laughing, with sparkles all around you. Love you baby sister.
My sincerest condolences to Ginny’s family. Ginny was a true mentor and friend, who will be missed. R.I.P.
My sincere condolences to the family. Ginny was such an awesome woman, willing to share her wealth of knowledge with me for 23 years while we worked closely at Newport News Waterworks. I will truly miss her and know, many others will too.
I was sorry to hear of Ginny’s passing. I will always remember her fondly as a strong woman and professional in the field of records management. I was blessed to know her, work with her, co-author a book with her and call her a friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. I never met her but I know her family and they are the best so I know she was the same. RIP Marie
I have known Patsy”Marie” since elementary school. All through school she was always gracious and helpful to all. Her full life, even though it seems she left too soon, has been filled with love and caring for others. My deepest sympathy to her family and I will remember her smile always.
I knew Charles Cocke from the hotel program for the homeless. Sad to hear of his passing, my condolences to the family. He was a kind, caring man.
I don’t know the words to say to make the sadness go away, but I do have the faith that God will grant you the strength, comfort, and peace that only He can as you face this sad time. When your beloved Marie passed away, she took a part of you that will be a part her, just a part of her will remain with you forever.
Wishing the entire family our condolences in the loss of a truly inspiring and amazing lady! Keeping you all in thought and prayer for a healing heart with each passing day! May each day bring you a new and happy memory of Marie!
Much love,
Scott and Monica
I worked with Marie at the City of Chesapeake, and I missed her dearly when she retired. She was truly a bright light. Marie was very kind to me when we worked together, and I always appreciated her humor and kind words to get me through rough times . My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
I met Ed back in the 1960s when he met/ married my dear friend Donna. I loved him like a brother… Have so many great memories of him and all the fun times many fun times.. Ed had one of the best personalities ever and he really could tell a story. He did like to move around but I always found him (ha ha) and fondly recall having good times at each home they lived in. He was truly one of the good guys and will be missed.
Donna, David & Trudy,
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your dad. I’ll never forget him & Aunt Gertrude or the summers that I got to spend time with them. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences and sympathy to Eric’s family. He was a shipmate of mine in the carrier DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN-69), and a great naval officer. As I seem to recall he was a Chevy Corvette enthusiast. Fair well and following seas old friend.
To my amazing bonus dad ❤️ Knowing you changed my life in so many amazing ways. You gave my mother love she has never until you. You gave my son the best grandpa he could have ever asked for and you gave him a bestfriend. He was so lucky to grow up with you by his side. Memories that will last him forever. And you gave me so much loved I never knew I needed. I miss you everyday and that won’t ever fade. I miss your lame dad jokes that would make you and only you laugh so loud lol. Keep laughing dad, because it was the best sound. I love you always and even after
Mr Briggs I went by today to check k on you and miss lotty and found out you have gone to see the king. You will be missed.
I knew I loved you before I met you. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of or miss you. You took my heart when you left this world. I know you’re watching over us and we’ll meet again. We knew God brought us together. You’re my true soulmate. I miss you and love you with all that I am.
My heart is saddened to learn of Bruce’s passing. He was an outstanding man who accomplished much. Bruce was well respected by everyone. He will be missed. A life well lived.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. I worked with you in the late 60s and still remember how close the two of you were. You were also kind to me and I never forgot that. May God comfort you with His everlasting love.

So very sorry to hear this. We offer Janie our heartfelt condolences.
Janie, I was deeply saddened to see Bruce’s obituary in the paper. He was a great guy and had a great impact on my life in my early years. When I think of him I can only smile! We had so many years of laughter and so many cold brews! He was a man of strong principle and was always deeply committed to you. If there is anything that I can do for you PLEASE let me know. You and Bruce are in my prayers!
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
Praying for the family. Neighbor of Mr. Duncan.
My heart is truly broken, it is hard to forget someone who gave everyone so much to remember, my memories of you will always be treasured.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Tony will be missed by me and many shipbuilders who had the fortune to work with him or cross paths. I pray that warm memories of Tony comforts all of you.
warm regards,

One of the most intelligent, ethical, and straight forward individuals I’ve ever met. Jack mentored seniors and juniors alike. Telling people what they needed to hear, not wanted to hear. First to praise, rarely criticizing, but always vectoring. A fine gentleman and great analyst. One of the 480th’s National Treasures.
Our prayers go out to Jack’s family. I worked with Jack some at the 480th IG at Langley. Jack was definitely one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. Also, he knew the Intelligence business and was extremely smart. If Jack told you something you could take it to the bank. RIP Jack until I see you on the other side.

So sorry for the passing of your Mom. Have some great memories of your family. MIKE and Kathy Rheinhart
So sorry to hear of the loss of Mr G. I worked with him first in the early1980s and he was such a great mentor and leader. We worked on the Grenada operation and many other issues at the 480th. My condolences to his family.
What a grand man! One of the best, most personable USAF intel civilians I worked with.
I am praying for the family and friends who shared so many memories with Laura. We met at church and school during some of our best years at Faith. She is dancing with the Angels and in the arms of Jesus. Til we see each other again❤
So sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. We didn’t see Joan much, but what a wonderful person she was. Always so friendly and kind. Our deepest sympathy to everyone in her family. Sending prayers and hugs to all of you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Mac was my long-time, long-distance friend and so much more. After we met in the 2000s when he was planning the USS Iwo Jima Class Association’s reunions, we never lost touch. I moved a few times, but emails and greeting cards were exchanged regularly. He loved his labradors retrievers and I love my golden retrievers. That gave us an instant bond. Once he even sent my dog, Eli, a Dog Book. He always made me smile. Bob, you were a wonderful, kind, sweet man. You will be missed. And remember ..especially when I go to the mailbox. So I’ll end with my usual written closing. Your Friend, Lisa
Daddy, our love has no beginning or end. You will always be with me, You may not be here physically buy your energy and spirit will be among us until we meet again. I love you daddy. You were there for my first breath and I was with you till your last. May you spread your wings, fly high in heaven and rest peacefully.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
Love you
My deepest sympathies to you all..
Joan was a great woman, wife, and mother! A friend to everyone.
Oh, Sharon, your tribute to Dick, to your love, to your life, your family and friends rings with warmth and joy. It gives a sense of his professional and personal being. May his journey be swift and gentle; may you and your family be wrapped in love. Prayers.
Served with him on the Iwo Jima 1974-75. We kept in touch for years. His girlfriend at the time became friends with my ex. Bob was a great guy who was patriotic and dedicated to everything he did. He will be missed LNCS Ret Ray Russell
My condolences to Helen’s family. We worked together at Commonwealth Health Care for many years. I have many fond memories and there are so many stories all of us share with Helen as co-workers and friends! Rest In Peace Helen, celebrate with Fred and your dear friend Pat Lewis!
Dear Pat and family,
The Kanz family sends our deepest sympathies to you and are holding you close in our hearts during this sad and difficult time. There will be some serious political discussions and dominoes matches when John and our father Virgil meet again in heaven. ❤️
Mr. Mac was a very special patient and friend at our dental office for a number of years. I always enjoyed hearing stories and seeing pictures of his dogs .As well as the chocolates that he would bring with him. He always wanted an early appointment so he could head right out to his favorite breakfast restaurant. He will be greatly missed!
To Trish and Dave’s Family,
Our sincerest condolences on your loss. May happy memories and the support of family and friends bring comfort. In sympathy from the neighbors, Tony and Lisa.
Harry and Family – your mother was always so nice to me, I will miss her
I’m sorry to learn of Joe’s passing. My condolences to the Gordon family. Please call on me if there is anything I can do. Your neighbor, Brian.
I offer you and your family my sincere condolences
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. I am fortunate to have known you Bob, and I hope to see you again and hear your laughter in another dimension.
Helen and Fred will really be missed!
so sorry to hear about your mom
We have so many memories of her and all the Welch family.
Dear family and friends of Dick’s,
On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans, we offer our sincere condolences at Dick’s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are always saddened whenever a fellow “Bubblehead” leaves on Eternal Patrol. He served with honor on the USS Angler SS-240, USS Dogfish SS-350 and USS Sablefish SS-303.
To our “Brother-of-the-Phin” we say, “Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas.” Thank you for your service to our country.
“May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ESV).
Jim Sandman, FTC(SS) Ret.
National Chaplain, USSVI.
Will always remember his unconditional friendship and brotherhood to anyone, and his incredible voice which I always aspired to. His dad was one of my best mentors. Rest in the peace of God brother, reunited with your earthly father, and heavenly father.
Lois, Toni & family I heard this sad news today. DA was a big part of my childhood with Robin. My childhood was filled with love and so much fun with the dune buggy and motorcycle. I will cherish my memories forever. With much love. Lynn
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.
I was in fourth grade with Miss Hudak. What an inspired educator, did not follow curriculum, had her own methods. In fifth grade I had Mrs. Childers! We had great field trips, like to Washington D.C.
What a positive influence she was.
With fond memories
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Prayers for strength and peace.
Wonderful man who mentored me through a rough time; source of vast knowledge, inspiration, and a calming voice in rough seas. You will be missed, you will be remembered. Rest in Peace Mac

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…
I am so sorry to hear about DA. Mom and I send our thoughts and prayers to Cousin Lois and the family. I know he will be missed dearly. You will always have the beautiful memories to reflect back to. Heaven welcomes a new angel and the family has a new guardian angel. Love you all. Dorinda Butt Trumbauer and Jacque Carson Butt.
I was very sorry to hear about Lloyd’s passing. He was a good man, always ready to help someone in need. I enjoyed our Wyoming hunts and Lloyd always had a good story to tell, the highlights punctuated by that grin of his. Even at my Dad’s funeral, Lloyd was there to tell the story of how he watched him skin a porcupine! I’m sure he’s up there working on some carvings for the Big man. I’ll be praying for his family.
Marshay although our time together was brief, I want to thank you for everything. You were always there to lend a helping hand and could brighten anyone’s day with your beautiful smile. You will be missed, you made a huge impact in such a short time. I will continue to pray for your family and your most precious gifts of all, your sons. May you sleep in eternal peace, my friend.
THIS IS MY MOM AND MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WERE LEFT OUT …..SHE LOVED MY KIDS AND THEIR KIDS . SO SHE HAD MANY WHO LOVES HER .
Cindy and Alex. I want to express my deepest sympathy to you both. Your mom was a special lady. I had the privilege of knowing and being a caregiver to her that started in 2012 and continued to 2022. Years of beautiful memories I will forever cherish. I am thinking of you both and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Linda Ginwright. (Norfolk Va.)
My deepest sympathy to the Jordana family. I was saddened to hear of her passing. Praying for peace that transcends all understanding as your cherish memories of her. I worked with her on an off for many years as a physical therapist and always cherished my time working with her. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Diane Haupt
You came into my life when I was 9 years old and we have been together as cousins ever since. We had good times and bad and we always made it through. One of my favorite memories of you when we were kids was your mother having your picture taken on a pony, you loved the pony so much you wanted to take it home and no one could make you understand why you couldn’t. I will miss my bear hugs every time we saw each other and I will hold you in my heart until we meet again. RIP ❤🙏❤
Lorraine and I worked together for years, and our relationship grew to where we became the best of friends. Such a special relationship. My wife Julie and i grew to think of Lorraine, Joe, and Sharon as family. I never met a kinder, more caring and nicer person. She was one of a kind. The world was a better place because of Lorraine. I do and will continue to think of her and always with a fond smile on my face even as I share a few tears while I write this.
My husband earned his wings on 10 Jan 22. We soaked in every second of him while he was here. He left this earth surrounded by the love of his kids and grandkids. I was so blessed to have the husband that every woman deserves. Until we meet again, he will be my guardian angel. I love you. Soar with the angels in heaven my love. ❤️
So very sorry for your loss.
Words can’t even explain how loved you are and how much you’ll be missed, Dad. You were, and continue to be, my everything- my life teacher, my computer pro, my proofreader, my dog sitter, my car mechanic, my handyman, my dart buddy, my minister (haha)… my absolute everything. We could always count on you for anything- moving cross country? You were there. Moving to the middle of the Pacific? You were there. Needed someone to Whatever the question, you always had the answer. Time on this earth would never have been long enough with you, but I’ll carry my memories forever.
Prayers my friend
My deepest condolences to all the McCrea family. A most wonderful Aunt, smart as a whip, always the most gracious, and the best sister to my mom who she has joined in heaven! Can only imagine the party going on in Heaven. God Bless such a gift!
We are so blessed to have her in me and my wife life we loved being around she was so down to earth what she had in her life was good enough for her She treated everyone the same She didn’t care about people’s past she loved you anyway she was always there to to talk to and she loved being around her family I want to thank her very much personally for loving my brother and making him happy thank you very much we love you so much see you again your brother n law and sister n law Eric and Renee!
From kids climbing trees, playing marbles and whiffle ball, to trading baseball cards and comic books to adults drinking beer in Germany and playing darts, we were always brothers. He was truly a person that I could count on for anything, no questions asked. I realize what a great person and great brother he was. His passing has left a big void in my life and I’ll always think back about him with great fondness and good memories until we again climb those trees together.
We would like to express our condolences to the Mack family during this time of bereavement. I had the privilege of working with Dennis, and his dedicated staff of USA SATFA professionals, for many years. Working as USCENTCOM’s International Training Manager, Dennis’ expertise and support was indispensable in supporting our military and civilian teams working in the Middle East, Horn of Africa, Central Asia, and Southwest Asia regions. Thank you for your dedicated service to our Nation, both in a Military and DoD Civilian capacity. May you RIP. The Venzke Family.
It is such an honor to call you my sister I will always remember your spunkiness, your beautiful smile and how deeply you loved your family and friends. You were one of a kind and a blessing to so many. I love you and can’t wait to see you again. Rest In Peace now and forever ❤️

I am so glad I got to spend my birthday weekend with you at the last Glenwood Park reunion. Till we see each other again my friend. I miss you so much already
Sorry for your loss
Our hearts are full and being human we are selfish! We know you are in paradise now, no pain or problems we as a family shared. We wanted you to stay with us but God had other plans for you. You are with your babies and mom, dad, grandpa and too many to mention. Please know we love you and miss hearing your voice. We will ALL meet with you when our time comes. I keep remembering us have the last Pajama party at your house and playing hide and seek. A memory that makes me smile and sometimes laugh outloud. Love and miss you Billie Rose. Don’t worry Ray and the rest of us will keep a check on Denver. One Hell of a man! Rest now and breathe freely sweetie. 💔😥
My prayers are with Daniel Mack, his mom and siblings in this difficult time. Lourdes Miranda, NASA HQs

Desra……our hearts and prayers are with you and your family, right now and always!! We pray you find peace that fits in these empty holes through warm hugs, your babies eyes and every memory you will forever hold close!
My sincere condolences to the family for your great loss. I played soccer with Rich for a number of years and remember his as a kind and sincere person both on and off the pitch. In our mourning we can take some solace knowing he is with his father in Heaven for all eternity. 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.
Daniel: My deepest condolences on the lost of your Dad.
May his soul rest in peace.
Emir
Daniel,
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during the loss of you dad. I hope happy memories will get you and your family through this very difficult time.
Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. I could always tell you two were a special couple and see the love you shared. I enjoyed the pleasure of your company. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Nancy
I am so saddened with the passing of a true mom. Momma Wyatt, was a beautiful mom to everyone who met her. I was so lucky to have had the pleasure of being welcomed into her home. I can still hear her laughing at us girls as we were dressed to kill on the weekend bar trips. Her personality was admired by all of girls. My thoughts and prayers to Kim, Chuck and David and their families.
Sergeant Frey,
My heartfelt and sincere condolences on the loss of your father! I am actively praying that you and your family find the strength to carry on during your hour of mourning. I pray that you are able to find peace in the midst of this storm. May your dear departed father rest In peace in the Bosom of the lord.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I only knew Rota as a gaming friend

The Elizabeth Manor Women’s Golf Association sends our sympathy to Lorraine’s family. Lorraine was a friend to many of us many years ago.
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 LOVE YOU & Will miss everything about you. I live you best friend (sister).
He was a sweet, gentle soul with a great dry sense of humor. We had many laughs together. I worked with Chuck at Schaevitz Engineering in Pennsauken, N.J. and again at Lucas Industries in Hampton, Va. He was a great photographer, I still treasure the picture he gave me of an asteroid shooting across the beautiful night sky. He loved his cars!! Also he was a really good drummer! Multitalented! We will never forget him. Our condolences to his family. Mary
May the fond memories of Aunt Shirley bring you comfort during this hard time. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and our family.
With heartfelt sympathy and our condolences to my sister Eva , their sons David and Michael and grandson Tyler as we remember the life of Roger so very well lived. He is now with God and may he rest in peace.
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve your loss. God bless and keep you close in your time of sadness. Condolence.
Steve and I served together as the first advertising accounts at CBN. and we had some good times together serving the Lord like that.and in prayers together.I really regret losing contact with Steve. After our year at CBN i married the bookkeeper and Pat Robertson sent us off to Philadelphia as area director for the 700 Club there til 1980.I’m now 83 & really regret not staying in contact with Steve and getting to know his family. Looking forward to our heavenly reunion some day not too distant future.
I am really sorrow for all his wonderful family and friends – God bless you all.
Our heartfelt condolences to Eva, your children and your grandson.
May our Lord God grant eternal rest to the soul of Roger and let perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace. Amen.
What a nice remembrance of a wonderful father, brother and husband. Prayers for the Huffmam family in celebrating a treasured life.

Tommy, Sally, Pepper, Mother Ingram, Laura and Family. It was a joy to grow up with Ray in Malibu. We were wild and free and living out the last glorious days of American hippiedom. I remember when we sent Tommy off to the Army, and that son of a gun ended up in Hawaii! Better than Vietnam by far. When we’d watch Ray Sr. tweak the carburetor of some new hot rod in the driveway at Kim Terrace, it felt like being on the flight line at Oceana. Oh the roar! Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The universe welcomes you back. Peace
Roger was my best friend we played bingo all the time.
I was saddened by the news of his sudden death.
I miss my best friend.
Our condolences to his family.!!!
Dear family, I met Bob @ Flight Safety and we both shared a military Air Nat’l Guard connection… closer than you can imagine… 1 of my UPT classmates ended up in the New Mexico Air Guard and was killed in a mid air accident.. I was in the MD ANG and Bob & I enjoyed swapping stories…I’d call Bob every 3-6 months and I had left messages recently with no response… We have lost a very gentle man in this crazy world… sorry I had not visited since he left DE.. thought and prayers with you !

I am so sorry for your loss and this difficult time. Rest in God’s comfort and strength. Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble.
Thank you for the time and wisdom you shared in this life with me . Our time was brief but I’ll always cherish the laughter you offered and love and wisdom you shared to help nurture a young man. R.I.H gone but never forgotten
Roger was always an upbeat supporter of all who came to the Gem and Mineral Club. He always made me feel very important as a newbie and thru the years. We share a lot of interesting conversations, laughs and love of rocks. I will truly miss this man.
My heartfelt condolences to sister Eva and to David, Michael and Tyler. I am sorry for Roger’s passing but as the Bible says…”all things work together for good to them that love God”.. Everything happens for a reason. May he rest in peace.
Diane, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. ❤️
You will be missed. I most remember you giving girls rides on the elevator in the high school because of your bad leg. Blessings & Love. Barbara Fifield, sister-in-law.
I will always remember Roger with a huge smile on his face that honestly I have never seen him without. His enthusiastic “hello senior” with a hearty pat on the back every time I saw him and his enthusiasm for the gem and mineral hobby will be missed. Another bright light gone too soon…
Roger was a true gentleman. All of us at Witchduck thought the world of him, and we’re sure going to miss him. Whether he was bringing us summer vegetables from his garden, or engaging in conversation with us, he was a ray of sunshine. Now, the world is dimmer.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
Love and respect,
The Witchduck Family

“Memories” is one of Laura’s favorite songs and it means all the more now. She will always be remembered for her faith, love, friendship, great smiles, and laughter. One of the most heard comments has been “she was beautiful, full of love, the sweetest person I have ever known”. We will always remember .
It is very beautiful Jennifer. Cindy is one of my longest dearest friends. I knew her from back in the days when we were Navy wive’s. We were always doing things together to pass the time until our husbands came home. She even videoed my son walking for the first time. I will always remember her as a sweet friend that was always there for me. She will surely be missed. Prayers for the whole family🙏🙏🙏
I always enjoyed the time I spent with you and your family Cindy. You gave me a lot of happy times and laughter. You will be in my heart always. Hoping to see you again in Heaven. I’m sure you will be watching over the ones you love on earth.
Jennifer, Brian, Steven – I’m sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and love during your time of grief. Asking the Heavenly Father/Jesus to help you all find strength and peace.
What a beautiful tribute to your mom. She was such a good friend, I have so many memories of us doing things together. She loved her family so much, and would do anything for you guys.

I am very sad to hear of the passing of my old friend Linda, we met back in the 80’s while working at Toy’s R Us. I spent many nights hanging out with Linda & Dave at their apartment in West Warwick sipping beers and listening to music, then careers and adulthood got in the way. An interesting story, I remember Linda telling me that when she and Dave got married their wedding song was, “What I Like About You”, by the Romantics, so whenever I hear that song, I would always think of my old friend.
Thoughts and prays to Linda’s family and loved ones.
For Chuck and family, our heartfelt condolences. We remember Natalie as a beautiful, vibrant, smart, and gracious woman. She was always ready with the sweetest smile. So sorry for your profound loss.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Knaggs family. We are so sorry to hear of Cindy’s passing. We always thought so much of how close your family was.
Love, Thom & Nell Gallagher
Mrs. Foreman, I extend my deepest condolences for the loss of your husband. I certainly enjoyed our conversations during his office visits and it was my privilege to take care of him.

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 was Lucky enough to be able to share some really fun times with Bill. He was a great person to ride motorcycles with, share a great joke, a cold beverage, a cigar, and most definitely a laugh. He will be missed by many.
I am so sorry for our loss! Bob was a very special guy! He was a great mentor. He guided me financially during my divorce. Of course with a lot of jokes and smart alec comments. It is a true loss for our TWA family. Thoughts and prayers to all. Nickie
I am so saddened that my friends life was cut short. Uncle Larry as I called him had no enemies and loved all! What was so remarkable for this man was his laugh and broad smile to brighten your day, no matter how his was. God felt the need to take a good man home. He will b sory missed. Til we meet again. Love you buddy!
Great man……..says it all

Dot Lee, you were the instrument to bringing each child to know and love the Lord! I can’t thank you enough for the love they showed! I do hope Jessie or everyone in the family continues to come each Sunday! We love your children and pray for the family daily! We happily know where you are now! Love, Liz
Boogs was a great guy. He will be missed. Taken too soon. My condolences go out to his mom, family and friends.
It is will deep sadness I have learned of the death of Bob. To Kathy and her family, and to Greg, my deepest condolences. Bob and I worked together for several years at TWA and I must say that Bob was one of the most unique people I have ever met. We shared many stories on the water and no matter how our conversations ended, he always had a smile on his face. I was very proud to call him my friend.
I WILL miss my friend.
May he Rest In Peace…🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Always liked playing golf with Steve have a lot of good memories and of riding in his vw bug

Sending sincere condolences to the entire family.
Dear Jean and Family,
We miss Bob already. What fun we had having lunches together especially at Gus
and George’s eating their Burger’s. Bob was a fun guy and so knowledgeable in so many subjects. We could see how much he loved you when we were together.
We know you loved him as well. We are available Jean whenever you need us.
Love you, Bill and Rita
Rest in peace dear cousin. You were a sweet and gentle soul. We will all miss your smiling face.
Teresa Forman & Family please accept my sincere condolences for your love one Mr. William David Forman. My prayers & thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May he rest in Peace with our heavenly Father above.
I worked with Bill for a few years and I am so saddened by this news!!! 😢😢😢. I do know that my God does not make mistakes and He needed someone like Bill up there with him to make him smile and He truly chose the right man for the job!!! Bill will truly be missed and I pray that his family is touched with a peace that surpasses all understanding! God Bless You All!!
Your light went out brother, but I know we shall see you again.
Love you always

My deepest sympathies to Dave’s family. I served with him aboard ship when he was a Medical Service Corps LT aboard USS INDEPENDENCE and ashore in his final tour as Master Chief Hospital Corpsman with Atlantic Fleet Marines. He had been a Field Medical Corpsman during Vietnam as I recall. Dedicated man to the mission and his shipmates and a one time deer hunter as well. Regret reading of his passing.
Gonna miss you Dad. I’ll always remember the good times camping and fishing. Thanks for everything.
Julie,
You have my sincere condolences, and I will keep you and your family close in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks. May God comfort and guide you through this period of grief and give you His peace. Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Sincerely Joann Hall.
I am just seeing this notice and I think we are high school classmates from the Meadowbrook High School in 1971. Could someone please email and let me know if she was our classmate. Thank you.
Rest in peace, Phyllis, you are a dear friend and co-worker that we will always remember.
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?
My mother was an astonishing woman, and she will truly be missed. I love you mother!
Our deepest sympathies during this very hard time to the family of Ken. We love y’all like family and pray you are taking care of yourselves during this time ❤️
Bill was a customer of mine that I had the opportunity to visit most every month. He was always pleasant and one of the folks I enjoyed seeing. We often talked about motorcycles. The last time I saw Bill he said that his hours had changed and he now had off weekends and that we should get together and ride. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. 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.
Larry, I was so sad to learn of your brother’s death. Please know I’m thinking of you and sending warm hugs your way.
I met Dave through his brother Glenn. He was always very friendly and had an outstanding personality. Prayers to his family and friends in this trying time.
God Bless
Sincere sympathy to all the family from the Warwick High School Class of ’59. Harold will never be forgotten. He is what made our 60th reunion a success. He reached out to so many and spent hours on the phone laughing and talking with classmates.
Rest in peace—We will see you again, at another reunion one day.
You will be missed, dear friend. May you Rest In Peace.
II was saddened to learn of Ed’s passing! I know he was loved by so many! And he loved his years coaching at NCS. May God give peace and comfort to Jackie and Dawn and Eddie and the rest of the family.
George was my cousin and I will miss him greatly! I just saw him Christmas Eve! I always enjoyed seeing him at my son’s baseball games – I will especially miss those times together. My heart breaks for his wife, children, mom and siblings. My love goes to everyone!
Ron, Condolences to you and your family on the passing of your beloved Joyce. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Tom was just aces! I’ve loved him since he married Mary when I was a little girl and my sons have loved him their whole lives. We have so many fun memories! We especially loved how he loved Mary, Jenny and Erin. A truly devoted damily man!
Dear Julie and family, I never met George but It sounds like he was a wonderful guy, a wonderful husband and father, and it sounds like he stayed really busy. My condolences go out to you and your family on the loss of your dear husband and father, George.
We are so sorry for the loss of our Dad. May he be at peace. We were so blessed to have been a part of his life, and enjoy his quick wit. We are so We will miss him terribly. We are so lucky to have our son, Shane, know him and will remember him always. God bless until we meet again. 💔💕🙏
Uncle Bob, I can’t tell You how much You’re missed. All the stories and the laughs that we shared. I loved all the stories You would tell me about Corona, UPS, Hiking in Vermont, whether it on dirt or snow shoeing.
There are so many awesome memories that I will treasure for a lifetime.
Until We Meet Again
Your Favorite Sister-in-law
We had great battles on the pool table. You were always up for a good game. You were a great friend and just all around great person. My condolences to your family may you find peace and healing. Till we meet again next game is in me. Rest up buddy.
What a blessing you’ve been to me all my life. I miss you, dad!!!
What a wonderful life lived and I am sure he will be missed by his family. Prayers that they remember his good times and know that he is in a peaceful place.
Our deepest sympathies to his wife and family,
Bob and Laurie
I thank God for this man who loved me for over 64 years. We both knew that God had chosen us for each other.
He left his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren a wonderful example of loving others and showing them he cared for them.
Cecil meant so much to my Dad, Billy Vasile. They had a lot of good
times together! Cecil was always so kind to me and always so much fun! Prayers and love to the family.
Love
Kim Wood
My cousin, more like my big brother – thinking of all the great times we had together – you were always there for me. I will keep you in my heart forever!! I will miss you!! Praying for the entire family!! We love you!! Billy and Becky Vasile
George was more like a brother than my nephew-in-law. We are of the same age and I have always thought of Winnie as my sister. When ever I visited George and Winnie, George would always have a smile on his face and when we parted he would always say, “I love you Walter”. The memories I have of George will always be with me.
Loved my Dad very much. He was such a sweet humble man. Taught me to water ski, bike ride and have a love for the water no matter whether it was the ocean, John Kerr Dam ( we loved saying that as kids) or the lake at Shenandoah Acres. Thanks for loving me unconditionally, I know it was a lot to do.
Winnie, I am so sorry to learn of George’s passing. We have thought of you all so often and so many of the good times we shared in the past.
Our prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Mickey and Carolyn
Dear Butch, Sissy ,Robbie and Juanita, My heart is broken for each of you and all of us who loved Cecil. We have been life long friends and there was no kinder person on this earth. Pooch and I loved him as a brother. The tales that survive him would make a best seller. He was a master craftsman and I only have to look at the fireplace in my home to appreciate his workmanship. Pooch and I were blessed to call him our dear, dear friend. Pooch is suffering from Alzheimer’s so we have chosen not to tell him about the loss of his buddy. Hugging you each with our hearts. Brenda and Poochie Owney
Winnie and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. George was such a kind and soft spoken person. Sympathy and prayers to you all.
Winnie, I’m so sorry to hear about George. Walter shared this message with me, and I have forwarded it to my family. You and your family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. My love to all of you. Shirley
Mr. Silk will always be remembered for his kindness, consideration, and heart for visiting and caring about others, even when he wasn’t in the best of health, himself. My Mom, Dorothy Crute, and also my husband and I enjoyed and appreciated his visits and prayers after Mom had medical issues. May the love & peace of God be with your family and with all those who will miss Mr. Silk.
So very sorry to hear about George’s passing. He was a wonderful man. When he spoke everyone listened. You always knew he loved the Lord and his family and he was willing to share that love with you. Winnie, you and your family are in our prayers.
Ron and Sue Swain
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Helen was one of my friends when we both attended Great Bridge High School. We reconnected when I moved back to Chesapeake and we had monthly dinners with her cousin Susie Marconyak and Marie Kingsbury. Good times!
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.
Love you Daddy, will see you again someday.
Attachment
Love you
Sue and family,
Our prayers are with you and yours. You gave the last best gift: that of caring for your mother with love and tenderness. Always remember the love and laughter shared: it is everything to pull them so close and support them to the end. You know how to reach us. Please don’t hesitate.
I will dearly miss but never forget her gentle soul and vibrant spirit!
My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Cheryl as a nurse in Iraq and will never forget her beautiful sweet spirit. We know she is in a better place in heaven rejoicing with all the Angels and Saints. Eternal rest grant unto Cheryl O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.
I have never had the pleasure of working with a more caring, compassionate person than Cheryl. She has been missed since leaving work and will be missed greatly by all that knew her. My thoughts and prayer are with her family which she loved dearly above all else.
I was in school with Helen, from 1st grade at Norfolk Highlands until graduation from Great Bridge. Helen was a great childhood friend and one of the smartest. A shining light for all. Condolences, thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.
Roccie and family – My sympathies go out to you at this time of loss. I enjoyed working with Cheryl at NNS who always had time to listen to issues and help resolve them. I especially enjoyed looking at all her photos of her wonderful adventures (her office wall was covered with them) and listening to her stories. She was so grateful for those times. She has been missed at work over past months and will continue to be missed. Please take care.
Cheryl was such a lovely lady, a real positive co-worker and I truly enjoyed seeing her kind smile every day. She always had a positive word, one of the most pleasant people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I miss her daily. But I know she is in a wonderful place now.
The Friends and Family’s to the Tidewater O Gauge Association sends our deepest condolences for your loss
Ed, Lisa and Mark,
I have expressed my sympathy previously, but I wanted to tell you I thought Diane’s obituary was so well written and those of us who knew her will miss but always cherish her memory. Peace be with all of you.
Sharon was such a possitive spirit no matter what challenges she faced. She was loved and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Our deepest condolences.
Dear Lisa and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. As you know, I worked with Diane for many years. She always had a smile to share, so much so, when I think of her, I think of her smile! She was a very kind, caring, and dedicated employee. I am so blessed to call her a friend! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God provide you some peace and comfort during this most difficult time.
We are so very sorry to hear this news. Amos was one of the good guys and we made many great memories both in and out of the plant. Sending love and prayers to his family.
We really liked Al and worked with him for the last couple of years. Our condolences to his family. He was a nice man and we shared a-lot of laughs.

We were very sorry to learn about Angela’s passing. I got to know her through our church and singles group many years ago. She was very kind and I always enjoyed talking with her. We will miss her.
He was one of the Maintenace Foreman that came up from the ranks. So glad I had worked with him as a trades man. And as my Foreman. Prayers to the family.
My deepest condolences he was a great man! He will be missed dearly!
Dear Ed, Mark and Lisa,
Robin and I are so very sorry for your loss of Diane. She was a wonderful neighbor to us on Musket Court so many years ago. I also loved seeing her at St. Jude Guild meetings. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Roccie, Rocco and Robert,
We are so sorry for your loss of Cheryl. She was a wonderful and loving lady and will be terribly missed by everyone she touched. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Angela will be missed by us and all the animals she loved in her short but productive life time. God called her home too early for us but we take comfort in knowing she has eternal life with Christ. She was also a wonderful dog sitter. Dotty loved to see Angela come to be with her. She was a natural with all animals. Love her and the family she loved.
Please accept my condolences. I would appreciate hearing from a family member. I believe I worked with Ms. Meyer. CindyWilliams40@yahoo.com.
Cheryl will be SO missed! She was one of the most unselfish and positive people I have ever known. I fell so lucky to have crossed paths with her in this life. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. God bless you all!
George, we grew up side by side. You taught me how to drive, we played together every day, your Mom fed me milk and sandwiches at lunchtime. The milk was in a silver cup and the sandwiches served on a Crystal plate and I was an extra member of the family. You will be missed by many, but non more than me. 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. Keep a light burning for me. It won’t be very long now.
I worked with Michael only briefly since the summer of 2021 when I arrived to FT Eustis. The Army environment can be extremely stressful and chaotic, yet Michael brought a sense of calmness and common sense which are often hard to find. We valued his professionalism and work ethic. After learning more about him at the Memorial Service, especially the love he clearly had for his family, I left with a renewed focus on my own family and to live my life as a husband and father with greater love. Thank you, Michael.
Uncle “Funny” Bob you will be missed I know we lost touch as I got older but I always remember the silly jokes you used to tell and the gag gifts you used to send. I’ll keep making people laugh just like you did for me all those years ago
To the Lauria Family. Please accept my sincere condolences. I knew Cheryl but for a few years and found her to be a very devoted and caring person in her professional position in the medical field. Cheryl had the unique ability to bring calm to situations and let people know that she was there to help and take care of them. Cheryl, God Speed on your journey and keep a close eye on us from above. Thank you for all that you did for me and everyone you helped in the Shipyard. Bless you and your family.
I am sooo very sorry to hear about the passing of Pat! Worked with her at Landstown Middle School along with her son Jeff!
Pat loved her family more than anything else in the world ! She had soooo many friends that will miss her!
My prayers are with you at this time🙏🙏🙏
Dearest Lisa..I was in shock reading this today … You both have been thought of fondly over the years…God speed to you and your family..Pls contact 7574693008
Winnie, you and George welcomed us into your lives no questions asked. From soft comments that we are all working together for God’s kingdom even tho we worked at different brands of Christian bookstores, to throwing wadded up wrapping paper at each other at Christmas, we are better people just having known you. We love you and your family Winnie.
Deb and family: I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you at this time. Hold tight to your wonderful memories of your loving mom.
I don’t know if you got my email. Beverly, I’m so sorry to hear about Bryan. I haven’t seen you two for a few years. Hope you are doing alright. If I can help let me know.I will remember the good times Bryan & I had together.
RIP dear cousin Skippy.
Angela will always be Gee to me. She was such a pure soul. I will miss her so much. She was part of my life every Tuesday for 7 years and she leaves a void. I am very fortunate to have known her and shared those days with her. Love you Gee. You will forever be remembered
So sad to hear Amanda is gone. She was my first love. Although we hadn’t been close since high school and college, we had reconnected online some years back and I was glad to see she had been doing well and had a beautiful family. I had always hoped to get to meet them. My deepest sympathies to her her son and husband. She will definitely be missed.
Thank you Father. We love you.
My condolences and best wishes for the family of my friend. Bill was loved by all that really knew him.
We offer our deepest sympathy to you and your family Tommy, for the loss of your dear brother. Our hearts go out to you during this sad and difficult time. Love from the entire Creef family.
I worked with Pat at Landstown Middle School. So many people today were remembering how nice and kind she was. I am praying for her family.
With Loveand Sympathy
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

Cheryl was a friend and we enjoyed working together in the Clinic at newport News Shipbuilding. I have framed the American Flag that she sent me from Afghanistan as a retirement gift. Betty and my thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time of their difficult loss.
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Cheryl at NNSY. I am so sad at hearing she had passed. She was always so quiet and was very nice to all of us in the clerical field. It sounded like she had a full life. May she rest in peace with no more pain. Betty
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.
PHIL AND I GREW UP TOGETHER SOME TIME BACK. I COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER FRIEND. OVER THE YEARS, AFTER HE NO LONGER LIVED AT VIRGINIA BEACH, WE LOST TOUCH WITH EACH OTHER BUT I THOUGHT OF HIM FREQUENTLY. HE WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MARRIED CONNIE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY.
HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM!
Bob my friend sometimes near sometimes far but always in my heart.

Dear Elizabeth,
I’m so sorry to learn of your Father’s passing. Please know that I’m thinking of you and your family. I remember the times your parents came to visit Drs. Howard and Georgeanna and what a gentleman your father was. I know that you will miss him.
Nancy💕
It’s been a year since you got your wings and nothing has changed. I still love and miss you reagan ❤️

I was sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. 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. Our condolences to the family.
I offer my warmest thoughts, prayers, and love. Bill, and his wonderful since of humor, will be missed. I have fond memories of those Boiler Maker conferences, and how the fellas always included me in their outings and events. They were all uncles to me.
Long, long time friend and classmate. Rest in peace.
Hello Mark and Nanette! We’re sorry to hear about the passing of Pat. She had a long life and finally with your dad now: We offer our prayers and sympathy to you both.

The world was a little bit better when Mary was in it. She was a very loving and kind thoughtful lady . She will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know her. I pray that God will comfort the family and friends and blessings when they continue their walk in this life. She was dearly missed by me.
Real SAD to hear about YOUR MOM’s passing.Its hard to loss someone you Love. One sure thing is that She is not suffering any more another good thing is that when its time for us who are left behind is there Will be someone to meet U Ur MOM & DAD in heaven & NEVER to part again Love. George & Anita
Having known both Charles & Carol since they moved to Knotts Island, our sympathies go out to the “boys” and other loved ones of Carol. She was a big part of the United Methodist Church as well as other community organizations. Carol was loved and will be missed.
I will always remember George for being such a loving father and husband along with having a zest for life. He was also a lot of fun to rile up in the politics arena.
I always loved his passion and I know that passion is now being put to really good use in the eternal presence of Jesus!
We are thinking of the entire family during this challenging time. So, sorry I will not be able to be there tomorrow. Love and Blessings to you all.
I was so sorry to hear about Margaret’s passing. We were neighbors for many years on Chesapeake Ave. In Portlock. Juanita Walker Thacker & Kim, Bobby and Susan
Mary, Marly and Brandi, you and your family are in our prayers during this difficult time, and the days ahead. We were sorry to hear of the passing our our neighbor Allen, and brother in Christ. If we can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call on us. Respectfully submitted, Michael and Sandra Farrow
Linda was a special lady and we’ll miss her more than words can express!
save me a seat, I am sure the party already started
My condolences go to the Family. Mr. Conway was a great man at FCS.
I am so thankful & blessed to have know Linda and the Miller family. Linda always made friends, acquaintances & strangers around her feel welcome and at ease.
The numerous times that she went out of her way to offer a word of encouragement or present a valued item of her own to someone need are some of my fondest memories.
My condolences to the Conway family. He was a really good principal and had such a presence for the role. I am glad we were at Falconer together.
Brian, Dottie and family,
We are currently in Florida so we will be unable to attend the celebration of Linda’s life. Please know we will be there in spirit and love and will watch online.
Linda was a beautiful soul…always kind, assuring and positive. It was a blessing to get to know her and the family since joining the church. We, along with the rest of the KGPC family, will miss her. May you all be comforted to know she is now in the loving arms of her Savior.
Lauren and Family
We are keeping you in our prayers! So sorry for your loss! We love you!
Fred and Becky
Jimmy will be missed by many. I went to elementary and high school with Jimmy. Rest In Peace.
I miss you Patrice♥️
Our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time and God wrap your arms around the family as they grieve gaining an Angel.
Lauren, Rollie and Michael: Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your Mom(and Dad) were the sweetest and funniest people we have ever met. May they both RIP together.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Heaven gained another angel.
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.
Sarah, I am sorry to hear about your mother. I didn’t know her but she must have been wonderful person to have such a beautiful daughter as yourself. As your aware I recently lost my mother and you will have good days and bad but will always have the special memories of her that will be with you forever and make the tough days, I hope a little easier.
Aunt Kathy was a loving person who I loved and appreciated. I’ll always remember our conversations and the stories we shared. Aunt Kathy, I’ll miss you but I know we’ll meet again in heaven. Say hi to Grandma, Gary and Jesus for me.😃👍
Sincerely,
Shane Webb
Dicka was my cousin and I am very saddened by her passing. I will miss her, but heaven did get another Angel. RIP cousin Dicka.
Love your couirsin,

There can only be one Jimmy Jard and he will be missed. RIP my friend.
The days seem so long and I can’t really make sense of any of this yet. I miss you more than anything. I thought that knowing you weren’t suffering was going to make it easier for me but it doesn’t. I wish I could hug and kiss you one more time. I love you mom. I hope that you are living it up and having a great time where you are now. Just hold a spot for me. Xoxoxo
I miss running into Jimmy at Kroger.

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.
Patty, I just happened to run across your Facebook page and notice that you were widowed.. I am so sorry I had no idea that David passed..
Hugs to you and your family.
Please accept my thoughts and prayers for your loss. Dicka was a dear friend in high school and a co-conspiriter in many high school “highjinks”. She is fondly remembered. Please notify me, if possible, when any celebration of life is planned.
Sharon and I were blessed to have had friendship with Terry and Corky. Our prayers are with you Lauren and Michael, and the family during this time of loss.
I recently learned that Bob Passed away. We were classmates at Charlotte Hall Military Academy, and he had a reputation of being one of the best commissioned officers. He was a leader and a role model for many of the Cadet Corps. I was hoping to see him at our next reunion, but alas that is not to be. Please accept my sincere condolences, Joe White
I have very fond memories of Jimmy: VB High School day and Little League baseball —“The Sports”. He was just a good guy.

Carol, the story you crafted of Hunter was simply epic and befitting to him. I felt like He is a man, husband, father, grandfather, a son of God I hope to be when I finish my race.
To you Sis ever glowing with eloquence and transparency of valor be peace and angelic comfort. May the God of all kindness and rest give you a rest from Hunter’s celebration preparation. Love Ron
Carol, Skip and I were the same age and have memories of our Guess grandparents. My Dad was Uncle Herberts younger brother Lynwood. Remember Skip living with them. He was always such a happy face. He went on to make the world a better place. Bobby told me how you gave your all during his illness. Love to the family and especially to June who I have not seen in sometime. So sorry for your loss. Much love to all.
Linda shared her faith and love with me during my hard times. Her all encompassing hugs and smiles lifted my spirits. No one else like her. Her family is special and I’m sure they have holes in their hearts filled with grief.
I love her picture from Michael’s wedding and so happy she was able to dance with her son!
Roy was a childhood friend. We were almost the same age. He was my grandmother’s neighbor who I only saw on visits to her. I have not seen Roy for many years and yet he is an indelible part of my life. He died too young and he will be missed by many including me.
RIP dear cousin
Nancy I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. Although I didn’t know him I am sure he was a great husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. My prayers and the families are with you all through the days ahead. 🙏 Be strong and know ALL is in GOD’S HANDS 🙏 ♥️ 🙏
Roccie, we are so sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. We’ve known you two for many years and have always enjoyed listening to the adventures you two took. We both know all too well how deeply this hurts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if there is anything we can help you with or if you just need someone to listen. Much Love!
To the entire Benner family, I wish to express my condolences to each and every one of you. Dicka was a wonderful lady, with warmth and compassion, She spent a lot of time with my mom ( which mom loved her company ) playing skipo all day long when she wasn’t working. Dicka will always be in my families thoughts and memory. so very sorry for your families loss.

Thank you Katie for being a part of my brothers for life all these years and being a part of our family. Thank you all for the goodies you made at Christmas time. The brownies are so yummy I will miss them and the pies too
It’s been a privilege to know Katie for a number of years. She was the type a person when you met her you felt like you’ve known her all your life. She never met a stranger and had the biggest heart of anyone I know. She was so lucky will have found her soul mate in Charles. Katie you were always have a special place in my heart my friend.
Kathy my friend we had so many great times together. I still can’t believe you are gone. I know you will be looking down and watching over those you loved from above.
Thank you for being a kind and friendly neighbor. Although I only know you for a short time, you’ll be missed. We will make sure your wife is taken care of! Be at peace.
To the Miller Family,
Linda was a wonderful teacher, a stellar Cavalier, and a true Champion for Special Needs students. We will always have fond memories of her. May God bless you!!
The kindest person, with the gentlest hands. Always willing to listen, to joke and to laugh. She will be missed and her going leaves a void. Her memory will always shine so bright. Praying for peace for the family.
Thinking of the family during this sad time.
you will be missed by your loving family and friends. I am so thankful that you were so kind and loving to my best friend (Rosie) I am so glad you were in her life you made her very happy. You are with God now, no more pain and suffering.
.May you rest in peace.
With deepest sympathy.

I will miss Aribert Otto very much. He was a wonderful dancer!! He was a good listener and could cut through problems with wisdom. Since he was from Europe he had a unique view point. The waltz was his favorite dance. He loved to walk in the evenings and had a wry sense of humor. We were friends . Kathleen Blair
Anita a beautiful woman inside and out.
Dental visits were easier when you knew Anita was there and I believe “ in charge”
Prayer for a blessed journey to a heavenly family reunion. RIP
What a sweet soul. Katie was proud to be a member of Rescue 4 and she gave many hours in service. She will be missed by many.
Condolences to her family and friends.
Our hearts are breaking at the loss of your extraordinary mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Just knowing that Auntie Pat is now with Uncle Jr gives us great comfort that they are back together dancing and singing with the angels. Auntie Pat and Uncle Jr were truly two amazing people that my parents had the privilege of knowing for over 60 years. Auntie Pat’s heart was huge and filled with love for her family and friends. 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. Knowing that we all have two wonderful guardian angels up there helps to heal our hearts. With all our love, Andy, Jean, Darlene, Darlo Concepcion and family.

i was very sorry to hear of Mr. Thompson’s passing, My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, He will be missed.
Nancy, my prayers are with you and the family. All the times he stopped by to just talk to me, I reminded him he was the luckiest guy to have you as his wife and he agreed. Of course, he had too because it was true. Take care and let me know if I can help with anything.
My heart moans and missing Katie is overwhelming right now. We worked together for 10years. I witnessed her triumph over life’s trouble and health challenges. I didn’t expect to lose her so soon. I can say she was a great friend and joy to be around. Even when we disagreed, she was good at offering an olive branch! I could not stay mad. She also reminded me of the movie star Melanie Griffith.. which I told her often. Katie if you are reading my words forgive me for not being there to the end. Thank God you had your rock Charles! Praying for the family and friends who are also feeling this deep loss.

Katie was a beautiful person. Both inside, and out. She be friended me last year. Because , we had so much in common. This picture of her, and I, was the last time I saw her. It was at her last birthday party. The last time I spoke with her, was when she was released from the hospital. We all thought that she was on the mend. But, she is now up with God in heaven. Her pain, and suffering are now over. I have faith, that I will see her again one day. She will forever be in my heart.
I’m sorry that we lost you aunt Kathy but I know you and mom are together now me and grandma and uncle Chris will be here on earth making you both proud we love you. till we are together again.
I am so sorry to hear of Gene’s passing, he was a really great guy and I enjoyed our talks about cars and boats. My God be with his family in their time of need. He will surely be missed by all . R.I.P. Gene
I have many fond memories of Jim, my former brother-in-law. He was the epitome of the word entrepreneur. He was always presenting some new idea by beginning with “what do you think about this invention”. He was a good second dad to my nephews who loved him dearly. May he rest in peace.
Dear Susan,
I was so very sorry to see the announcement of Bob’s passing in today’s newspaper. It is my hope that you and your family find comfort and peace in your many memories.
You are in my prayers,

Sue,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Bob’s, but I didn’t know him very well. I remember talking to him on the 2016 class reunion bus. We connected in that we were both teachers in Virginia Beach City Public Schools. He was a great guy, and I wish I had gotten to know him better. I think we also talked when I was Director, Troops to Teachers for Virginia about possible bonus payments.
May he rest in peace, and I hope you and your family also find peace and take comfort in the numerous condolences from your friends.
Sue, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Dear Sue, Sandy and I offer our condolences to you and your family. He will be missed by many.
Sue, I am so sorry for your loss. While I have only known you and Bob for last 5 years or so, I do feel a connection through the football game attendance. If there is anything I can do for you or your family let me know. Again my prayers are going out to you and your family.
We were sad to see the the passing of your husband. Kurt and I send our condolences to and your boys.
I’m so sorry, Susan.

Hey ma just thinking about you. The days seem long! I hope you living it up where you are. I miss you more and more. Love you
Bob and I lived just a few hundred feet apart on 74th Street in Brooklyn prior his entrance to the Naval Academy in June of 1967. We were classmates at USNA until I left the Academy in 1969. 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.

We are so glad that Katie could be a part of our lives, even though it was not long enough. We will always remember her with a thankful heart as her gracious smile continues to live within us.

My heart felt condolences to Mary’s family and friends. I had the honor and pleasure to work with Mary for many years at Old Dominion University. She was a treasure as a co-worker and the functioning of the Psychology Department was facilitated by her professionalism and dedication. I was privileged to have shared many years at the university with Mary as a friend and colleague. May her memory be a blessing to her family.
Mary Paula was my cherished friend for more than 60 years. We have shared so many wonderful times. She loved my children and I love hers. She kept all my secrets well. We have special shared memories of beach trips and mountain and Pitt County NC get-togethers.
To Ernie, Mary Lane, John, Patrick, Cara and Meagan, I send appreciation and love for the way you loved and cared for this lovely woman.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Conway. He was a great guy. Lots of memories of him looking out for me at Falconer Central School. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.
I am very sorry for your loss. It was my privilege to have worked with Mary for many years at Old Dominion University. She was a treasure to the department and an amazing mentor to the new faculty. She will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her.
To Mary’s Family:
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.
Katie would light up a room with her awesome smile. So nice to people. She was an awesome first responder and her love for the Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad continued when she transition over to their support team. Simply the best.
Cheryl was one of the best women I had ever met. A beautiful smile and pure heart!
May she rest in peace!

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 know Mr. Jones will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. My deepest sympathies to the Jones family for their loss. You all remain in my prayers.🙏🏼💙
My sincerest condolences to your entire family. He was such a good, funny and generous man and I know he will be sorely missed. Sending hugs and prayers to all of you.
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!
So sorry to hear the sad news of Rufus’ passing Carole. May he Rest In Peace. He was a lovely man who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Joan (Claire’s grandma)
It is with admiration and love that we say good bye to Rufus. He was a person who impacted the lives of many and modeled the importance of family first, fun prevails and dance like nobody’s watching. Over the past 40 years we have shared Christmas morning. I will cherish those memories. Love to all the Jones! Let his light shine through you forever!
I am so sad to hear of Rufus’ passing. My condolences to Carole and the rest of the family. Thinking of you at this difficult time.
I served with Daryl in the Navy and Comptek Research and mourn his passing.
He was a gentleman of the first order.

Sincere condolences for a sweet co-worker. Cathy will be missed. My prayers are with her family. My she rest in peace.
Kathy and I (John) are heartbroken after we heard that Rufus had passed. He was truly an inspiration to our extended family. He will be missed. God Bless and remember to wish for calm seas and mild weather during all of his travels in the afterlife. I guess it is finally time to pass over the river and rest under the shade of the tree’s.
Dear Carol,
Sumner and I are saddened to read about Rufus’s passing. We have so many fond memories of our Friday night dinners at Bayville. Rufus always had a funny story or skit. He will be missed by all that knew him. Our sincerest condolences.
John and Mary Lane:
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Your sweet mother we will always remember.
Dear Boswell family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Mary’s passing. I met Mary in 2014 when I became a graduate student in the psychology program at ODU. Her consistent support, encouragement, and kindness to me throughout the years made a difference in my life. May the love of God, family, and friends bless you with peace, strength, and comfort during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

We were sorry to hear about Uncle Del’s passing. Prayers to Peg and family. He was beloved by everyone, a smart man, a gentleman, and it was always nice to see a smile on his face. He will be missed along with all the other Walck aunts and uncles. Take care–Ron and Patty
My heart aches for there will always be a hole that Rufus could fill. I still remember the first joke he ever told us. I have never laughed so hard in your company. He was the best medicine. Remembering all our trips around the world and USA that we took. They were the best of times.
With much love,
Steve and Debbie
Dear Kim and family, please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family for we just learned of Michael’s passing. May Michael’s memory be eternal! I cannot express the sorrow we felt to know such a giving person was taken from this earth. We pray you and your family find peace and comfort as others step forward to stand watch moving forward. I’m so glad I saw you before you moved and we wish you and your son well as you begin to pick up the pieces.
My sincere condolences to the Boswell family. Mary went above and beyond to help me throughout my years at ODU and her kindness always brightened my day. I hope the memories of her warmth can comfort you through these tough times.
We cannot imagine our lives without Rich. We remember him in every room of our home, including the room he slept in when we would go on trips early in the morning. We have another angel in heaven!
Our deepest, deepest sympathy to Ernie and family. Mary Paula was a wonderful neighbor and friend. Together Mary Paula and I picked out and planted a row of azaleas between our two homes. We hope the little bushes grow up to be a beautiful remembrance of dear Mary and her love for gardening. May each fond remembrance help you in some small way through this painful time.
I was a graduate student at ODU and Mary meant the world to me. She was always professional but most of all, Mary was truly kind. I spent a lot of time in her office talking. She always listened. Always shared herself. She always made sure I had classes to teach. Mary and her African violets are one of my best memories.
I have been out of touch with your family for some time, but I have many warm memories. Rich was always such a kind and gentle man. I am so very sorry. Too soon, too soon!
My thoughts and prayers to Cathy’s family. She was an amazing friend and beautiful person. Her heart was so big and she was always willing to help anyone. She was adored and loved by so many people. I’m going to miss her and will continue to keep her family close to my heart and in my prayers.
I worked with Richard at Alexander’s and was saddened to hear of his passing. He was a warm hearted person always willing to share his knowledge and friendship.
Sending love and prayers with sympathy for the loss of Cathy.
Rich and Jack watched me grow up. I’m sorry his journey here on Earth has come to an end, but I’m guessing he was probably needed in one of heaven’s fine dining restaurants. Much love to Jack and the family.
To Mary’s loved ones: I was so saddened to hear the news of Mary’s passing. I had the good fortune of knowing her for nearly 30 years through our ODU home. She was always a positive in this shared space. MGB 250 will never be the same without her. My hope for you is that your memories of her will give you comfort during this time and that they evoke more smiles than tears.
Ritch was like a brother to me, his family like my own. We played tennis, music and fished, and oh what a culinary king. I will miss him immensely but to reunite once again in heaven, he was a very spiritual man.
Sandy and I had the pleasure of meeting Rich years ago through our friends kevin and Lesley Arnold who were childhood friends of Rich. Even had the the pleasure of going to Jamaica with him 27 years ago. He is a wonderful friend and a truly great guy. RIP.🙏🙏
I am so sorry about Mary Paula, I am praying for the family. I have so many fond memories of her and I will always cherish her in my heart. She was/is such a remarkable soul and I know missed tremendously.

We want to express our sincere condolences to all of those wonderful people who loved Rich as we did! Jack, Angela, Brian, and Michael, Rich kept us updated on your lives and we are so grateful for your presence as he was initially healed and as he became ill again. We know the hole he left in your hearts!
To the “bros,” we want you all to know how important you were to Rich, even when you weren’t getting together. He loved your times in the Outer Banks, as well as the reunions in Northern VA.
To the various band members who played with Kevin, we expect your loss is as significant as ours! Rich loved travel. We went to Jamaica with him and Tom in 1979. He returned several times and continued to travel with us to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, we canceled our trip in 2020 due to COVID-19. We did
plan to return and Rich looked forward to our next trip! He will always be in our hearts!!

To the “bros,” we know how much you all meant to Rich! He loved the trips to the Outer Banks and the reunions in Northern VA.
To the various band members, we know the hole in your hearts is as big as ours! Rich loved to travel! We went to Jamaica together three times and to Amsterdam twice. We had to cancel our reservations in 2020 due to COVID-19, but we planned another trip as the city had opened up recently.
The picture was taken when we were 19. So many amazing memories! 💔😭

I knew Hank when I worked in Fitness at Westminster-Canterbury. He was a true gentleman, kind and caring. His mere presence always brightened my day. He will be missed.
I am so saddened to hear of Richard’s passing. I worked with him years ago at the Omni Hotel. What a kind a caring man! Nothing ever frazzled him at work. He was always the professional. Jack, my prayers are with you and your family.
Nina and Kate,
I was so sad when I saw your fathers obituary in the Journal Scene. It has been a long time since those Mason Prep years. I still think about you sometimes when I pass by your house in Summerville.

Dear family,
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.
Sharing your sadness.
With love, Gabi

Couldn’t have hand-picked better neighbors and friends. Hank was a sweet and gentle soul. We’re gonna miss you. You know we’ll always have your beautiful bride’s back, as well as your sweet son’s. Rest peacefully in God’s arms 😘
Hankie, as we called him, was a wonderful and generous brother in law, but most important, a great friend. He was always up for anything when we were visiting and we always has so much fun. We will surely miss him, but we know we will all be together soon. Until then, RIP Hankie. God will be watching over our sister and nephew for you.
Dear Vicki and Cody,
I am so sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I met Hank when I was working with the Tiger Team on the 6th Fleet Flag ship (USS LaSalle) over in Italy the last 10 years before I retired. I have fond memories of those times in Italy and the fine work that Hank’s men accomplish on the ship. But the best memories I have of Hank was our friendship after work when we would most always go by. Vic’s for a beer and
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.
David, Lisa and family,
I was sad to hear of the loss of your father, Darrell. Hoping you find peace in knowing he no longer needs to struggle in a position of declining health and loss of his quality of life. Remember all the lessons and memories you shared as a family when you think of your dad.
In sympathy,
Pam Daniels.

Sorry for your loss .I enjoyed working with Hank on the TigerTeam .
So sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. Heartfelt wishes and healing thoughts are being sent your way to comfort you during this difficult time.
My mother was a very Strong, independent and a remarkable woman. She was a woman of faith who taught my sons about Jesus and the Bible. My mother was a GREAT mother who helped her children, grandchildren and many others. She will be forever loved and forever missed. Thank you, mom, for EVERYTHING.
Daniel, Adam and I will see you again in Gods Kingdom, God Bless YOU Always and Forever.

Aunt Mae, I miss our phone conversations, usually about an hour long each time we talked. You were my Mom’s sister and now you are both gone from this earthly plain and are together again in heaven.
You were a blessing to me, thank you for our conversations. I love you. Your only niece, Wanda
Sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I had the privilege of working with Hank in Italy and France for 5 years. We drove to work together, checked in with each other during the work day, and left work together to discuss goals for the next day. He taught everyone so much about ship repair, and I was amazed with how much could be accomplished each day under his passionate leadership. He was well respected within the Navy and among the great men and women of the NNSY Tiger Team. I am so fortunate for the opportunity to serve with Hank. He was a true friend and mentor.
I was stunned to hear of Hank’s passing. What a wonderful human being. I first met Hank working on submarines early in our careers. He along with other friends, Carlton Page, Glenn Moring, Rick Shaw, CC Smith would go to festivals and such and had great times together. Even though our careers took different paths we would run into one another from time-to-time and reminisce. He never changed, positive outlook and a magnetic personality that everyone loved. Brother, you left us too early…rest in peace.
My sincerest condolences to Ruby’s family and friends.
Rest in peace dear friend. You fought long and hard.
Rest In Peace Lou, no more suffering. Gayle Lazarus
Mary was a special person that we had the opportunity to meet, if only for the shortest of time. Wish we had more time to learn from her about good books to read, new meals to try and restaurants to visit. We will miss her and hope Chuck will keep those special memories alive.
I have known this family for a long time. Worked with Barbara for a short time. Did the flowers for Sharon and Jack’s wedding and so much more. May you find comfort in the days ahead. Please pray for Patty – – she wad diagnosed with dementia several years ago and is now in a memory care facility in Lynchburg. This has been a difficult journey for our family. Love each of you.
Dear Smith Family,
Sending you prayers and thoughts during this sad time. My late husband, Malvin, and I lived across the street from your mother and father in Lake Smith Terrace for many years. They were such dear people and neighbors. After we moved, we still kept in touch with your mother for several years. May they both rest in peace together. Much love to each of you. Myra Scott
Please accept my most sincere sympathy. May many fond memories become treasures of the heart. May his Godly influence live on in the lives of those he touched along life’s way. Prayers and love.
Leonard glowed with the Holy Spirit, positive attitude and cute, mischievous smile. He was quick with his sense of humor, making us laugh. We loved his stories about the way life was in his boyhood. We will miss him dearly and that little twinkle in his eye. He touched our hearts. Love and prayers to his family. Linda and Neale Durkee
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in these days. My parents so enjoyed their time with Barbara and Leonard. So many wonderful memories of trips and time together at Trinity UMC.

DIck led a full life–and ever the gentleman. He and Lois were two precious people who I was fortunate to have as friends. My condolences to all of the family.
One thing that always stood out to me was the immense love and pride that Mr. Iveson had for his family!! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family and loved ones at this difficult time!! May God comfort you all.
Mary was a dear, treasured friend— very thoughtful, kind and caring. We are very grateful for all the great times and fun adventures we had together with Mary and Chuck, especially cruising the Panama Canal with Ken and Phyllis Lawrence and enjoying garden club parties and Knights Templar events.
Lou you were a great brother in law. I can still hear you laughing when I would tell you what I wanted to do with the house. Thank you for being there when you were needed. Enjoy your journey my friend. I know you telling Jesus where the mansions need repair. God bless.

Catherine was one of my daughter’s best friends. Her sunny smile and cheery attitude will truly be missed. Sincere condolences to the Kellam family.
My Mother Lil and I played golf with Jo. We always enjoyed her company and we want to send our deepest sympathy for her loss.
Catherine was a beautiful lady who will be greatly missed by anyone who was privileged to know her. There are no words to express my sorrow at her loss. My heart hurts for her family and many friends.
Mrs. Susan and family, please accept our condolences over the loss of your daughter. Tom and I will surely be keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
My heart and my spirit cry deeply for your family’s loss. I know the incredible love Catherine felt for her daughter who was indeed Catherine’s sunshine always. Catherine was my friend. She was there for me without judgement during a period in my own life when I truly needed that special friend. Her warm, kind heart, friendly and outgoing nature was shared so freely with everyone. While life and all our journeys had led us down different paths in recent years, she remained an inspiration to my soul and I loved her. I will always love you Catherine – YOU were my friend.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Catherine’s passing. Our condolences to her family and friends. We will always remember the smiles and hugs that she was so gererous to share. May your soul Rest In Peace. Those you left behind will miss you and hold you in our fondest memories. Love, Carolyn and Bunk
We can believe that she is gone what a special lady. We will surely miss her. Hugs and prayers for Susan and family during this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your lost. She was a delightful woman. Her smile and laugh will be missed.
Carolyn Rowell
Jo was my neighbor and friend for over 20 years. She always had a kind word, shared her talents for sewing and golf, and stood ready to lend a helping hand. I will never forget the friendship and kindness Jo also extended to my parents when they visited from Roanoke. She was tremendously proud of Ron, their children, and grandchildren. Jo’s passing leaves a huge void in her family, but I hope and pray that they find comfort in loving memories of her.
In behalf of the The Coffey and Taylor family, we would like to express our deepest condolences. May you find strength, peace, and comfort during this time.
I taught with Hope for 7 years at Coronado. She helped me truly learn how to fit in at such an unusual teaching situation. Her wit, teaching expertise, and good common sense helped me learn to survive in that environment. Peace and hugs to her family.

Catherine was one of my first friends of childhood and I have so many happy memories from those times. Playing in the Court House area, Kellam & Eaton, church at Nimmo, Knotts Island, and her beloved childhood dogs (a big black lab and a Chesapeake Bay retriever), and more recently catch ups when we’d be at Sandbridge for a short stay in the summer. I am so very sorry to hear the news of her unexpected passing and I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. A couple of years ago she posted this photo on Facebook of us. Thought I’d share it again.
My heart is so sad with the loss of my niece, Catherine. I remember her as a beautiful, vibrant woman who lived life in an exciting, loving way. We miss you Catherine but know you have joined you father in heaven. With all my love.
I’m so sorry for each of you in the tragic loss of Catherine…deepest sympathy 🙏
I have recently heard about her passing away. I met Beth for the 1st time 22 years ago when she and my brother Jaime were getting married in Kingston, ON, Canada. 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.
My sweet girl I love you to the moon. Heaven is lucky to have you. Sleep tight don’t let bed bugs bite if they do hit them with a shoe till they’re black and blue. Until I see you again this isn’t good-bye.
My deepest condolences to my friend Vivian and her Family . My heartbreaks for you all . You are in my continued prayers at this difficult time.
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.
I LOVE YOU NANA!!!!!
I love you brother

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
Love and miss you so much mom! Thanks for being the best mom ever!❤️
I met her at Fire Mountain years ago. My deep sympathy for your loss.
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 am so sorry to hearing about Mr. Bunting passing away! He was a joy to be around and is Barbara. My thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and the whole family.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Eames
We will meet again my BFF. We were friends forever and miss talking to you on Saturdays❤️
Carol and I remember Mary fondly, what a wonderful woman she truly was. So friendly and kind to everyone she met!
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember your mom’s smiling face at St Michael Lutheran Church in Virginia Beach and our shared “roots” from the state of New Jersey! We all send our sympathies to her whole family.

So sorry to read about Mary this morning. The last line you wrote brought tears to my eyes. It’s been a long time but I always have the fondest memories of the original EDO team. Stay strong my friend.

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.
David Childress
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

So very sorry for the family loss!!! So devastating! Thankful for the gratitude of supplying organs! We love you so much Vivian and Courtney and Family! Fly HIGH Britney – much deserved! Nancy and Jasmine Sampson
Will always remember Leonard as we prepared for annual youth trip to Myrtle Beach. He had menus, food needs and total knowledge to help us do those 3 meals each day. Of course he and Barbara were so important to Trinity and were wonderful mentors. To each of you I thank you for allowing me to share my faith with you for many years. I too have great memories.
RIP Mr. Bunting. My deepest condolences to Steve, and your family. He was definitely one of the nicest guys ever.
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 am not sure this link will work in the post, but I can think of no other song that is as appropriate as this.

I am so sorry to hear Dick’s passing. My deepest condolences to Joanne and Susan and Dick’s entire family during this time of sorrow. Dick was loving and kind. He loved the Lord and his church.

My heart goes out to the friends and family of James Martin “Dustin” Beganski. I have known him since 1980, when we were both stationed at Naval Legal Service Office, Naples, Italy. He was a great friend, as well as a competent co-worker. In recent years we renewed our friendship on Facebook and via the telephone. Dustin was always able to make me laugh, and was a great Life Teacher. I feel certain he will be missed by all who knew him. He turned me on to the sound score of the play “Evita.” I will dig out some pics of Dustin and submit them at a later time. Fair Winds and Following Seas to you, My Friend. May Heaven be as much fun for you and those around you as Earth was. There is a shiny bright NEW star in the Heavens tonight — it is YOU! Much love, as always, Lisa Heydon, LN1, USN, RET.
You were one of my closest friends and I miss you something fierce 🥺🥺 fly high my friend until we meet again

Dan has been a colleague for as long as I’ve worked at InnovaSystems Int’l, almost 17 years. His professionalism and his quiet, yet steady, demeanor will be sorely missed. But it is the husband, the father, the friend whose loss will be felt the most. My condolences to the family.
Until later my beautiful mother. I love you dearly & you’ll be missed tremendously. All my love, Heidi
Rest In Peace Uncle Bud. Always thinking of you and our conversations of the past year!

I’m sure he will be missed.

I am saddened to learn of Major Alicea’s illness and passing. He was my Flight Commander at OTS in 1982. He was a good and decent man. He was the first Puerto Rican I had ever met. 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! One of my favorite memories was that if written work was not up to standard, he would return it with CaCa written in big red letters! My condolences to Mrs. Alicea and the family.
It’s taken almost a year for me to leave my thoughts, and yet I pause. I miss you, I miss our talks, I miss our flower shopping, vegetable shopping and I miss the limeade from Irwins. Bristol, has taken up your love of all things to grow. This makes my heart soar. Today is Easter, we went to Wickers, idk how but there was an empty seat at our table, guessing you were there. I miss you so horribly, but I see you, I see you all the time, from the small white butterfly in the garden to the many other “signs” Daddy, I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, but I know there is a presence of you still here, I promise I will not get stuck in the mud, I will go forward, Todd and I will make our way, we wil watch out for momma, a when its our time, you will be there to greet us with open arms..I love u, I look at “that pic” everyday the 1 where u met me for the 1st time, and I look at the pic of where and angel called your name, I love you and I miss you with every bit of my soul. Until we meet again, I love u daddy, I love you with my whole. HEART

We miss Mary at Harmony, Independence. she always had a kind smile and was a good bridge player. blessings to her family. the Brunos
Mary was one of the first persons I met when I came to Harmony & I sat at her table
for dining and loved to hear her talk about her background with tales of Ireland, New York & travel & also of children & grandchildren. She was a member of our bridge group when it was first started & was also intent on learning more.. I will miss her visits to my apt. when we talked about politics & what was going on in the world. She was a lovely compassionate friend & she will be truly missed.
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.
My heart is broken over the loss of Carole. I knew her for a very long time. Anytime I entered her store, I felt welcomed. I know others did, too.
Grandma Lorene was one of the most amazing, strong, funny, and spicy that I’ve had in my life. She always took care of me as if I was her own. She supported me as I grew, and most definitely always held me accountable when I started slipping. She let me it was ok to be great and still have a “spicy” vocabulary when times called for it. Lol! I am blessed to have had her in my life, especially during my teenage years. Grandma Lorene was loved deeply and will be missed greatly!
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. She was one of the nicest people we ever met. May God bless and keep you all today and always.
Hicks Family
I am so very sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Mary and George were such good friends of mine and my sister Marge White. We dined at each others home and went out to eat often. Mary and Marge swapped books regularly. I had Mary on my list to call to tell her of Marge’s passing 3/22/22. I waited to long. They are all together now. My deepest sympathy to all the family. Sincerely, Betty Valz
Attachment
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..
Jeannette held a very special place in my heart and we enjoyed many special occasions over the years. She definitely had an affinity to the beach sun and sand.She loved her kids and grand kids and always tried to do for them before herself. She had a big heart and loved her cats and dogs equally. She was a bright spirit to be around and she definitely touched my life in so many positive ways. RIP will always love you.
Love always Jan aka Marty!
We will miss Virginia. She was a good friend and neighbor. May her soul rest in peace.
Our sincerest condolences for you and your family at this time. Our prayers are with.
Bernadette and Frank Donohue
I am thankful that I was able to see Jr. And support my sister his loving wife. He was so special to my son Travis. There was never a day we were not included in his prayers. He was a hard working, loving, caring husband, father and grandfather. I will never forget his first visit to WV. , his first 4 wheeler ride and his love of Timothy and friends live bluegrass music. He was so excited and always enjoyed his visits. He will hold a special place in are hearts forever.
The neighbors Mrs Blount, Mrs Taylor, & Mrs Bagley wish to express our condolences to Mark’s family. He will truly be missed.
Dear Ruth Ann and Margaret,
So sorry to hear of your mother’s death. She’s with Bob in heaven now.
Love,

Our deepest sympathy to the family on the lost of your love one. Lorraine was a very funny, caring and loving person. One of her best childhood friend growing up on Cary’s Chapel Road, Aralla Banks, also sends her condolences to the family.

Liz was a kind and generous neighbor who had remarkable skills sewing! She made wedding dresses for two of my daughters and a my grandson lugged around Adam a life size “buddy doll” Liz made, the first two years of his life. Liz accompanied my oldest daughter to the delivery room for her first child, and she served horrible instant coffee, but great conversations! Condolences to her sons and daughter.
Never more then a thought away.Elizabeth loved her yard & flowers and shared many flowers with me.
She was lucky to have Her Son Daughter & Brandon looking out for her.We will miss her Goodies & seeing her sitting on porch.Hugs to the family
To the family, so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace my life long friend.
She was a good and loving friend we shared many happy and fun filled times together . I will truly miss her. To her family she loved al of you dearly .
We are so sorry for your Loss, may she Rest in Peace!
You were the most loving devoted Mother any child could have ever asked for! Things were not always sunshine between us but till the day you went to be with God you would have done anything within your power for your kids. Your love for us has always came first.
One of the best Angels on earth has gone home and I hope you are with grandma, grandpa and the boys!
We will see each other again, until then know you will never be forgotten and be missed everyday!
Love you Diana
My heart aches for your loss. Jeanne was a wonderful person with a huge heart. My thoughts and prayers are on their way to the family. I’m truly very sorry, gone way too soon.
Sister you will be missed. Until we meet again. Love you.
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 thoughts and prayers have been with Kenny and his family for the past weeks, since I found out about Kenny’s illness. He was always positive and upbeat, as it sounds like he was all the time. I graduated with Kenny from High School and only saw he and Ellen rarely since then. However, I always remembered them. Such beautiful people of God.
Ellen, Kenny, Shannon,Cory and family we are so sorry about Kenny. He was a great guy and family man. We enjoyed going to the beach to see the Sloane family when we were with Allen’s. Always a party. Many wonderful memories. Can’t make it on May 1st but home to see this summer. Love to all! Take care.❤️
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 🙁
God bless the Sloane’s. RIP Kenny
May the God of all comfort hold each of Kenny’s loved ones who mourn his death in the Everlasting Arms with the eager expectation that Kenny will welcome them into his arms in the life to come, which was made possible by the outstretched arms of the crucified and resurrected Son of God!
Ellen, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. May the peace of the Lord surround your family.
My condolence’s to the Sloane Family.
Sorry for your loss 🙏
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 was the most wonderful man…and teacher….
Thank you for all you life lessons….
I love ❤ u
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.

My loving thoughts and prayers to Kenny’s family and friends. Hold his memory forever in your hearts. – Stacey Kellam CHS77
Words fail me as I try to convey my love for both Vicki and Donnie and to describe the effects of cancer on a loving family. We need Jehovah’s new world so badly!!! One day soon we will welcome back dear Donnie to a paradise earth. Until then we need to help each other endure whatever life brings.
Donnie will be missed greatly. I will hold him in my memory until Jehovah says, “Donnie, come out!” Much love, Toddy ❤️
I knew Kenny from many visits involving food and wine; in his restaurants and other places. He was a friendly man with his lovely wife always nearby. He made people feel comfortable and will be sorley missed in the usual hang outs. Bless you all, I pray for your comfort.
I will always remember his passion for life, wine & friends. Thanks Kenny for all your support
In life we come across individuals that make an impact on our lives and Kenny was truly one of those men…..A true professional in both the Nuclear Industry and the local Culinary field he was a leader with new and challenging ways to do buisness…..A friend to all who knew him never without a smile on his face and a laugh we will always remember my condolences to his family friends and many coworkers but I know we can find peace that if we live our lives as Kenny did we will see him again……May the good LORD bless and keep you my friend❗️🙏
Eddie, I am so sorry to see the loss of your mother and brother. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.
To the family and friends who shared laughter, food, wine and love with Kenny, you have my sincere condolences. He will be missed by so many and we will have fantastic memories of the special person he was. Sandy, My heart breaks for you the loss of your brother and to Ellen and the rest of the family you have my deepest sympathy.
Love and prayers,
Terri Madden
Our sincere condolences to Ellen and the entire Sloane family. Kenny was one of the happiest, caring, thoughtful and giving person we knew. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Praying for you Sandra and your family. Love and prayers.
Truly one of the best. His presence and laughter was always uplifting to all!
You always had a smile on your face, no matter what. You will be missed. My condolences to the Sloane family.
So sorry to hear of your mothers passing on to heaven. A great loss here, but such a blessing to know she is safely in the arms of Jesus.
It saddens us that you are gone. We will truly miss you. Thank you for all you have done for us over the years. Personally I would like to thank you for helping me to become a better man, husband and father. I will never forget our first trip on the water. I out fished you and thought I was a fisherman. 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. He left the world a better place with his love for all. We love y’all and will continue to keep you all in prayers.
Cindy, Meghan, Jeff, Andrew,
Our deepest, heartfelt condolences to you and your families. There are no words to describe the sadness in our hearts to hear of Warren’s passing. We have such fond memories of Warren, a terrific father and a loving husband, a good neighbor and a true friend. Remembering all those happy days in Fairfield.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
Love and prayers, Naomi & Glenn
Our deepest sympathy and condolences for Ellen and the entire Sloane family! We met Kenny and Ellen Shag Dancing. Our fondest memories of Kenny was when he had an idea! Like taking pictures at the Surry Christmas Parties…OR… when he said he wanted to dance in United Ways Dancing with the Stars! Which he won the Peoples Choice Award!! Of Course he did! Kenny was a ‘people kind of guy!! RIP Kenny. You will be missed but you legacy of love and family will live on! May God bless The Sloane Family in their days to come! Remember to cherish the memories!!
Much Love,
Cindy and Larry Black
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.
I am so saddened to hear about Mr. Tony’s passing. He was so loved here at the IT service desk at NNSY. He was such a big part of this family and he will be missed. God’s blessings to his family and friends on this solemn occasion. Celebrate his life because he had a great one.
I must have called Tony for help a million times when I started at NNSY and he answered every single time, we shared our love for the Air Force often. He was a extraordinary technician and even better man. Romans 8:18 “Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later.” Rest in Glory brother.
Dear Vicki and family,
Donnie was a much loved member of the Northampton Congregation. We will all remember his smile, his patience with children, and his steadfast spirituality. May you find comfort in knowing that he is in Jehovah’s memory, and we will see him again.
Truly, his was a life well lived.
I am so sorry to learn about Kenny’s passing. He was a great guy; a good friend and loved life to the fullest. Recently we were communicating back and forth about Kenny’s health situation and my fiancées health challenges too. Kenny was concerned and praying for my fiancée while we were praying for Kenny. I know they are celebrating together in heaven. Two wonderful men taken too soon yet they’re in God’s care. My deepest sympathies to Kenny’s family and many friends.
I worked with Nancy at the Corps of Engineers. She was such a sweet person and I am so sorry to hear that she has passed. May God be with her family at the difficult time. She will be missed. Diane Boswell
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
Karen and Family, I worked with Nancy for a number of years at the US Army Corps of Engineers, and have very fond memories of our years together not to mention the the wonderful cakes she baked, all for the sake of making others happy. Always keep in your heart how much she loved you and your brother.
My sincerest condolences for you and family at this time.
“Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. …and praying you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. …
Ellen,
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers as you and your family grieve the loss of your husband and father of your sons, but also rejoice in the full life of service to others.
Cecie Adolphi (Margaret Tankovich’s friend)
My sympathy to Karen and the entire family. I send many hugs, especially to Karen as I have been married and widowed twice. It has been many years since Karen and I have seen each other, but I remember her well .Prayers to smooth the rough spots. Mary Leeper Holland.
Your Cities United family is thinking about you and yours!
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.
So sorry for the loss of your mother 😔. Hard to believe we were just celebrating with her and your family just a week ago. I know she will be missed ❤️ Hugs a condolences to you and all all her families.
Vickie was my partner in crime when we were young, gonna miss her terribly. We were like sisters definitely best friends. I feel a hole in my heart
Deepest sympathy in your loss.
Maryanne Whidddon(St. John Lutheran Church)
Vickie will always be apart of our lives as we had such wonderful childhood memories with her and Natalie when we were kids. Halloween was always a fun time with them to as Vickie always pulled out all the stops. We will always think of these fun times and her smile that always went with it!
Jami and Laura Ditto
Sloan family, we were so sorry to hear about Kenny. Our sincere condolences to you all.
Vicki, I know your heart has great sorrow right now. Even though you will miss Donnie greatly it is my prayer you are not overly saddened by your loss. Jehovah will provide the comfort you need until you see your Donnie again. And very soon you will be able to spend everyday together forever 🙏🏼 Love you Lots! ❤️
Miss Vicky this is Ernie sweetie I just wanted to let you know that I am here for you but I just couldn’t break away and come and see y’all but I am here for you and the whole family we love y’all and please let me know if there’s anything I can do and tell the rest of the family I love them and say hello and just give me a call if you need anything my number is 919-656-8509 we love y’all and I am so sorry for your loss but we are here for you and the whole rest of the family so just let me know if there’s anything I can do take care and we love you goodbye for now
My heartfelt prayers are with Ellen and the Sloane family. May God hold you in the palm of His hand and give you peace. Kenny loved life and his fellow man and will be missed by the many who knew and admired him.
All our sympathy to Gerald and Randy and the Family. So sorry to hear of Donnie’s passing.
…And then there were the stories of the “L’eggs” egg at Easter Time! Vicki, you will be missed!
So sorry for your loss. Sending our sincere condolences to the Wallace Family.
Natalie, Cherish the memories of your Mom, she will forever stay in your heart! “Wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain.”
Virginia was such a gentle soul, quiet but always smiling at church. First Presbyterian Church of VB is missing her. May her family find peace as you share memories of a special lady.
Sincerely,

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.
It was going on 54 years that we had been friends but we were as different as day and night but we made it work . I still want to pick up the phone to call too see if you are alright I miss you so much . I’m just thankful that I don’t have to wait 54 years years to see you again in heaven . When it’s time I’ll be looking for your hand to pull me up . love you your friend and sister Gail
Vicki…I am really sorry for your loss.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. May Our Lord and Blessed Mother comfort you during this difficult time of great loss- a void that can never be filled. We miss you Willie, but you suffer no longer in the loving arms of Our Lord. Requiescat in pace.
May Jehovah continue to comfort Vickie and family. We Remember the dedication he had for Jehovah and being on site for Jehovah’s house construction, and the kindness shown by them both picking me up to travel to the various sites.

I am so very, very sorry! I hope the your wonderful memories will give you solace in the days to come. You are all in my heart!
Love, Kathy
I remember the time we went to the art museum together. Slowly walking through admiring each piece, our eyes catching the same details. You and I appreciated art in the same way. I wish we could have shared more artistic experiences together. Love you always.
Your granddaughter,
Tasha
You were a friend to all and you always had time for others. You will be missed, but not forgotten. We all still laugh at some of the things we did when were younger. God will have a new mechanic to work and keep his cars looking great.
To Andrew’s Family,
We’ve known Andrew for over 40+ years and were very sad to hear of his passing. Please know that you’re in our thoughts and prayers and if there’s anything we can help with please let us know. With heartfelt sympathy…Terry, Debbie and TJ Linkous
Karen and Kevin, Praying that all the loving memories of your Mom brings you warmth in your heart and peace in your mind.
I miss you Two-Daddy !!!! Love you
So sorry to hear about your loss. He seemed pretty healthy. What happened? God bless!
Deepest condolences to Kevin and the boys. Will never forget all my memories with her. 💜💜💜
Ellen, Kenny Jr., Cory, Grandkids, etc., it never seems fair when someone with so much love and reason to live is taken so quickly. 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
Willie was a great person and a good friend. He was always up for a challenge and has worked on my car many times. His attitude on life was inspiring . He always had a positive attitude. He will truly be missed by all that knew him.
Rest In Peace My Friend.
We are so very sorry for your loss.. we are very glad we got to meet Willie a few times and he made us feel instantly comfortable. He clearly had so much life in him making it all the harder to know he is gone. May his spirit be with you and may you be able to look forward to the day when you will see him again.

Hello Ruthann and Margaret,
I would like to send a card but unfortunately I don’t have your addresses. I am so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. My Mother Isabel, passed in 2019 and I know all too well how hard it is to say goodbye. We both had wonderful, kind, charitable Moms.
What a great blessing they were to our lives. Stay close to each other. My email address is attached if you’d like to stay in touch.
***Ruthann-I still remember with fondness, your thoughtful gift of flower bulbs you sent at the time of our son’s passing in 1994. God bless you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I’ve known Nancy for many years through her sister Gerry. We had a lot of fun times, dancing and partying with the Shag Club. She will be missed.
My deepest condolences to the James family. I met Tony working at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. He was always eager to lend a helping hand. Always there to give encouragement to his fellow workers. I can not ever remember seeing him without a smile on his face-It was always there. I remember the day we met and I saw his favorite football logo-He asked me if I was a fan. I responded “New England” to which he responded “It’s Ok, I’ll still be your friend”. Rest In Peace Brother.

GJ.. I miss you more than anything in this world. Not a day is going by that it gets any easier, but I know that yesterday, today, tomorrow and FOREVER you will be with me. I’ll keep trying to make you proud, forever and always my G.

Kay, Our sincere condolences. What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. I feel so lucky that Cal was part of our family. His smile would light up a room. I loved to hear him talk about his navy days. Please let us know when you need anything. I can’t express how much we loved and cherished Cal.

I owe a lot to Betty. She cared for my husband for almost ten years. Losing her was more like family. I wish I could tell her just one more time that I loved her. The Lord has taken away her pain. May she rest in peace knowing she was loved.
Sending much love and prayers to Michele Page and her family during this time! *HUGS*

He was a fantastic friend
We had many good times together at work and the different conferences that we worked at with the city of Norfolk. We always laughed a lot together when we were together. I’m sorry I didn’t realize how ill you were. Rest in peace my friend. My condolences to Teresa and your daughters.
Uncle Cal was a big presence in my life when I was a small child in Fairbanks, and even when we moved to Washington State and he was in Virginia, he would travel cross country by bus to be with us on holidays. 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. I’m thankful he was in my life. Rest in peace, dear uncle.
I love you so much momma. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life.
Jenna,
My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family during this sad time.

I met Carole when Kindred Spirit was part of the Palace Shops in Ghent. She was always welcoming and kind. She was and will always be a bright light, shining in my memory.

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.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Deepest sympathy to you all. Denise raised lovely daughters! Two of the three ( Jenna and Addie) were my smart, kind, respectful, third grade students. That is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
Jenna, Bethany and family,
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I haven’t seen your Mom in years, we were very close when you were little. I know she will always be around you, your siblings and her grandchildren watching over you all. Thinking of you, Shelley Creasy
We love you cousin RIP
I was a friend of Mike’s younger brother Harry in grade school. The Dunstan house was one I visited often. 35 years later I ran into Mike in a crowded City Hal elevator. After all the other passengers stepped off, he said to me “I would have spoken but I just remembered you by your nickname: “Porky”. Condolences to the Dunstan family on the loss of a brother, father, friend.
Carlos was an amazing person and amazing artist. He was so nice I’ve known him since 4th grade. He is a great lost to all of us, but most of all his parents. I am truly sorry for your lost and will keep you in my thoughts.
MRS Betty will be missed greatly!
Our sincere condolences to the entire Sloane family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I worked with Mike at the City of Norfolk for a number of years. He was a fine man and a great co-worker. His sense of humor was legendary, and we spent many lunch hours talking sports and especially baseball which Mike loved. My condolences to Teresa and their daughters. He will be missed.
Memories of pleasant conversations pre-covid19. Bob will be missed.
Mike was a great friend to Wayne Leidy and I always felt welcomed at their home. Peace and love to his wonderful family
Liz Burns
My heart is with the family of Mike and I am very sorry for your loss.
Mike is an old friend that I will always love. We played Little League baseball together and I would see him on occasions at some sporting events.
Mike was a PRINCE of a man and it always showed. I’ll miss him dearly.

My first post, more to come. I invite everyone to share stories and pictures.
I was 2 years old when mommies big belly came along. Then one day mommy came home with a live doll baby for me to dote on. Yes, that was Charlene who I promptly started taking care of and did until the end. The house is not the same home it was with you in it. Sassy and Kacy will be looking down the hallway for you to come walking down it for a long time. I love you and miss you. Veronica
We were not only previous coworkers but also friends. I have so many good memories of her, she always made me laugh. RIP Poodle, I miss you & love you.
My deepest condolences! Just know she gained her wings & is no longer suffering! I am forever grateful to have called her a friend & to have had the honor to love her! 💜
Teri my friend. I miss you and I pray you are in good hands and are at peace. Love you lady!

Charlene was a wonderful friend and beautiful soul. Her humor always put everyone at ease. We will miss having lunches to just laugh and have fun.
Sending our love and prayers to Veronica . May your memories with Charlene give you comfort.
Blessings,
The Mountcastle family

In Venice after her graduation from college. Charlene was a friend for many years Her strength and courage, and her caring and honesty are examples everyone could learn from. Heaven is richer now that she’s home, and those who knew her are blessed for having known her.
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.

Thanks, Susan, for sharing and for having touched Charlene’s life.

I knew Mike from work many years ago. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.🙏🙏
A sad sad day. May your hearts heal with love and the knowledge that her suffering is over.
My condolences to all who mourn her passing. I wish I had gotten to know her a little better. I can remember the last time her, I and Veronica had dinner at the Smokey Bones together. Good times!
MIKE HAS BEEN MY GOOD FRIEND FOR MANY YEARS. THE WORLD WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT HIM. MAY GOD BLESS AND SPEED YOU TO HEAVEN. MY HEARTFELT PRAYERS TO THEARSA AND ALL MIKE’S CHILDREN.
On behalf of Franklin Heights Church, we are very sorry to hear of Mrs. Crim’s passing. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. At the same time, we rejoice in the promises of God.
Both Charlene and I had a special love for felines. It’s a comfort to know that all of the kitty’s she loved will forever be with her in heaven.
Ellen, I am so sorry to hear of Kenny’s passing! I’m praying that with all the wonderful, loving memories you two have had, you will be able to find some peace and comfort. I am also praying for your extended family and friends who will miss his affectionate smile and love! 🙏🙏🙏
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!!!
He had a smile that would melt your heart most kind hearted will be greatly missed

Bobbie, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Michael, I loved him like my little brother, I will always cherish my memories growing up with him . Love you always Stephanie
I was sorry to hear about Kathy. I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.
With condolences,

You all will be in our hearts
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.
“so, you have pain now; but i will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.”

My deepest sympathy to Kenny’s family, friends and all who loved him. Kenny, you will be greatly missed. Your love of life and especially the love of your family and friends was a light and inspiration to all. The world’s light dimmed when you left us, but I’m
Sure that Heaven is shining even brighter with you there. ❤️
Just hearing of this tragic news. Sending continued love to April’s mother and family. Praying April’s spirit is soaring happy and light. Much love to you friend.

Linda and I are sorry that Carrol has passed. He was a great 4H Dad. Always jumping in and doing what needed to be done. A good guy. An example to all Dads on what you need to do to be with your kids and part of their lives. I know you will miss him. Love to you, Monica and Robert. Please know that we are thinking about you, praying for you, and here if we can help.

I have a lot of fond memories of my husband’s brother. Very kind and a great sense of humor.
Sabine, sending prayers for you and your babies. It is never easy saying goodbye and I pray your memories and moments will be shared throughout the years with your babies. God bless you and keep you until you meet again. ❤️
I will never forget her joyfulness and high spirits , especially her happiness . The memories I have with her at my wedding in 1993 , Germany and she was so happy to attend (her first wedding in Germany ) . She was always a special person in my heart . Confidence to her family . Alles Liebe auf Deiner letzten Reise !
Yak, you were just a baby when I left home, but I remember you fondly as the baby of the pack. Your life was cut so short, but I know you will reunite with your Mom and Dad and siblings and you all will have a great Family Reunion. It is a journey we all must take. RIP my dear cousin. Deepest condolence to the family.
I worked with Teeny at NOSTRA in the 1970’s and we had remained friends ever since. She was one of the most unforgettable people I have ever known and I loved her dearly. My condolences to her family.
Joan Emerson
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.
With heartfelt sympathy…
I’ll never forget how Mike and Teresa were such an extended family with our girls growing up. Thank you so much for being such a great neighbor, and friend, we can never repay your generosity and hospitality. God speed to Mike, he made me smile every time I saw him and was a genuine man. Prayers for all your beautiful girls and family.
Our hearts are heavy but our souls are joyful fore Teeny’s resurrection. She was a breath of fresh air, a joy to know and a wealth of knowledge to be sure. Jimmy’s mom, Gloria Dare Rogister Gray was Teeny’s cousin and the two of them had many wonderful adventures. When Gloria passed away, Teeny became our pseudo-momma. We loved our visits and phone calls and emails with her. We were blessed in so any ways by her love and life. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
Condolences to Tom, my cousins from Lallie, my mom and the brothers, and all who loved Lallie. Her ability to forget herself in laughter brought joy we otherwise would not have known and made life better for all of those whose hearts she touched. I am grateful for the love and moments you shared with me. Rest in peace.
My beautiful and sweet Aunt is finally at peace. She taught me so much and I will always hold her in my heart. All my love, Kathy
Lallie was such a sweet soul and a true joy to be around.
My heart aches with your passing, I miss you so much already. Thank you for the gift of your friendship. I will continue to pray to God that he wrap his loving arms around Ellen and the entire family and give them peace while they grieve. God has surely gained another Angel.
Peace unto you my cousin.
Our sympathy to “Teeny’s” family, but Praise God for her entrance into heaven! Thanks so much for the terrific obituary you have given us. It is just like we knew her personally and we hope that people who read our obituaries some day will get the same feeling. We are blessed to be able to call Sarah, her daughter, our friend and it is easy to understand her deep love she has for her mother. May God Bless you all!
Memories of my mothers stories of Little Teeny. I only met her a couple of times but my impressions of her were…What an explorer! Her love of travel. God bless the family!
Aunt Nancy, a year have passed since you received your wings. Virginia, Kayla and I missed you. We think about you all of time. We will see you again in heaven someday.
Virginia, Kayla and Jerry Patterson
I am so sorry to learn of Carroll’s passing.. I worked with him at Public Works at Cheatham Annex for many years. He was such a nice man. Always had a smile. Thinking of his family and praying for them during this difficult time. Rest in peace Carroll. 🙏
Dear Maria – I just heard about my cousin Hunter’s death yesterday. Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing. He was always a quiet person and it sounds like he slipped out of life that way. I’ve always admired him for his service to our country during the Viet Nam war. He served bravely and came out with injuries that followed him throughout the rest of his life. I felt the latter years were his most peaceful and happiest. I wish I had known him better. My thoughts are with you while u adjust to life without him. Sincerely, Alex and Harold Cook
I am so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing.
She was one of my favorite feisty liberal friends!

Wendy, I am so sorry you and your family are rightfully grieving. Joe was a unique human being. He enjoyed socializing with his colleagues especially when he was given the correct answer to a crossword puzzle. I worked with him for 15 years until it was time for me to say goodbye. Joe was off the week I was to retire, but on my last day he came by to say goodbye.
He also did some plumbing work for Mike and myself until his back gave him trouble.
Peace and prayers to you and all your family. Jo-Ann
So sorry for your loss, he was such a great friend.
I am Lillie Belvin Roger lee Belvin’s daughter I want to share something with you that me and my dad did together so I was 5 years old and he bought me my very first bike and he taught me how to ride even though I would fall but he put me right back on and never let me fall and now I’m 11 years old and I can’t believe that it’s been 2 years I love and miss my dad so much and rip my father in heaven
We are so sorry to learn about the loss of Sheilah. and send our deepest sympathy to the family- Please know that you all are in our prayers.
May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Praise the Lord – Teeny is now in the arms of Jesus! She was such a sweet person and I remember her fondly. Sarah, Susan and I (and many others) grew up going to FBCNN downtown together and I have wonderful memories of that time in our lives. Cherish all the many memories and she will always be alive in your hearts. Praying for the peace that passes all understanding from our Lord during this time of grief.
My deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Bredehoft. My mother was her friend in Mainz Germany and I remember their phone calls after they were both in the US, as I remember my mother’s laughter during the phone calls. Mrs. Bredehoft was so kind to me when my mother passed away and I will always remember her. 🙏
RIP Andrew Fly Hi till we meet again, you will be missed!

Greetings all, I would like to write a “book” about all that Mr and Mrs Emmett have meant in their lives and in their ministry to me, to our school and to all those whom were blessed to know them. But many are better equipped to do so than me. All I can say is that I loved him very deeply and am so grateful to God that He provided Mr Emmett to me as a teacher and a guide. He was nothing but a blessing to me!!
Betty was a true example of putting God on display. In other words, His light shined through Betty every day. She always had a kind word, a smile and a hug for anyone who crossed her path. I’m beyond thankful that I knew Betty and for all the great memories we shared along the way. Like the road trip we took to Pastor Tom & Gwen Clocker’s daughter’s wedding years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with Diana and Linda and their extended friends and family. May God fill you with His Peace. Love, Sandy
Sorry to hear of Carrolls passing. He was a good friend and coworker.
Mr. Emmett was one of my favorite teachers, a colleague, and a good friend. My prayers are with you all.
So long my Love-till we met again.
Don was among the most influential leaders in my life. For decades, he was one of Norfolk’s finest citizens. Countless fond memories. My deepest sympathy to Betty and the family.
So very sorry for your loss. Had some pretty good times working with Carroll at Cheatham and Yorktown. Carroll will always be a part of my memories, as will his stories
Sincerely,
Steve M.
Betty was a lovely lady and so much fun to socialize with over the years. She and her sister Ruth were amazing friends never to be forgotten.My prayers are with her precious family.
Sorry for your loss. Always a hard time for those left behind
I am so sorry for your loss Tony & Pete, Kris was such a wonderful person and will be missed. Please give me a call.
You will be missed dearly Mike, I will keep an eye on your son for you. Please rest in peace. We love you always.
Wendy, I am sorry to hear about Joe. We worked together on and off, for over 40 years
and for four different companies. We also had a lot of good times hunting. He will certainly be missed. God bless you and his family. John Cannup

So sorry for your loss. Linda, my thoughts are with you at this time.
Love to you all
Linda and family, Richard and I are so sad to hear the news of Bobby’s passing. We talk often about all the hot wings and movies we all shared on Tuesday nights! And the SKIPBO game with 6 couples at your house! I am so glad that we got to see you both that time we visited Va. Beach.
We send our love to you🙏
Annette & Richard (aka doc.) Hansen
Joe told the BEST stories. He had the ability to make the simplest tale come to life with each detail vividly described. I’ll miss that.
Phil was a great friend and competitor. Level headed and always great to have a discussion with. He was on the water not as a fair weather sailor but stuck it out in rain and sleat late November just to finish the Frostbite series. He leaves a huge hole in our club and large shoes to fill. We dearly miss you Phil
your MIRAGE / MYRAGE crew
Sail on, sail on, sailor. Phil always wished us “good luck, but not too much” when sailing against him. By “good luck” I think he meant good luck trying to beat me. Greatly Missed by me and all our crew. Leroi/Voodoo 2
Don, we are all broken 💔 😢 hearted. You have left a huge hole in our lives. We understand because you put up great Fights every time something was thrown your way. Your will to live as long as you could with the love of your life will forever be in my heart. Your my hero.
We will love you and cherish our 22 years of friendship that turned into family forever until we meet again. Rest in Paradise CHER

I miss you and love you so much. I will forever cherish all the memories that we shared.
We love you and you are truly going to be missed.
I’m was so very sorry to hear about this. I didn’t know him but please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
I knew Phil from afar, normally with “Feather” in front. He was always smiling, upbeat and in the hands of great friends. Always a good sport, and lived and sailed an incredible life. Farewell Phil, you will be remembered long into the future at the Hampton Yacht Club.
Teeny always had a smile and a word of encouragement for everyone. Her love for the Lord and zest for life we’re an inspiration. What a full life she lived!
Worked at Ford many years with him a great person
My heartfelt sympathy to all of Sirley Jane’s family and friends. I have many fond memories of times together as children and young adults.
Wendy – We were saddened to see that Joe has passed from this life. We have good memories of him and will never forget. Our hearts are with you and family during this time of healing.
My heart goes out to Donnie’s extended family. Rest in peace, kind gentle soul.
I was so sorry to see John’s obituary in today’s daily press. I have so many fond memories of John during my internship at Riverside [1971-2], as a Radiology Resident [1972-5], and finally as his partner at PRA. John could effortlessly make all those around him feel at ease with his kind and outgoing personality. His endless array of great jokes made me always think that his 2nd profession could be that of a stand-up comedian. He was a wonderful man and I’m very sorry for your family’s loss. I was extremely fortunate to have him as such an important part of my early career in Radiology. I’ll cherish his memory for the rest of my days.
I have many memories of Milton and Esther and my mom and dad, Jean and Henry. Some of my memories are of them having oyster roasts at our house or their house, and mom working with Esther in the Maple post office. Sirley Jane and I played her 45 rpm record collection in the her bedroom while the adults gathered in the kitchen. Also, my Aunt Evelyn Lane and family lived next door to the Walkers and my grandparents lived next door to my aunt. There are many many good memories.
My condolences to the family
You were a light to everyone who knew you. I will miss you, Mom.
Simply put, Don made the world a better place. His kindness and big beautiful caring heart made him easy to love and befriend. He had the unique selfless gift of providing comfort to others even when he was suffering. He will be greatly missed. Sending love and hugs to his beloved Scott, their fur babies and family and friends. May the memories you shared carry you through the days ahead. Rest well and in peace, Don, you’ve more than earned it my friend.

RIP Uncle Donnie
Tracy, Lesley and families,
There are no words we can say to comfort you. No condolences that would ever express the love we have for your dear, sweet Mom.
She was not only a life long friend, but she was a second mom to Lisa and I, and the sister to my mom that she never had.
We will miss her smile, her laugh, our little talks. We will miss sharing dinner with her, and her calling or texting about how much she enjoyed it.
She will forever be in our hearts, until we see her again in Heaven.
Our love to all of you.
Tracey, don’t be a stranger. You and Lesley both know we are here if you need us.
God bless you and wrap His loving arms around you, and give you Peace.
Love and miss you!
RIP
My love, prayers and condolences to all of Don’s extended family, especially to you you Scott. Don was a sweetheart and he made the world a brighter place. His impact on all of us are felt and remembered.
Evelyn was a classmate at York High School and more importantly a friend that I shared laughs with. My deepest sympathy to her family. God’s blessings on you all.
Donnie was one of my favorite cousins, I will truly miss him and his humor. Sincere heartfelt loss for beloved family member.
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.

Jesse was a fun and great guy. He was my classmate at Norcom High School and I knew him from NNSY. We had some great times together. He was fun to be around.
My sincerest condolences. May God shelter you with his love and grace during this time.
I was there the day that tree was planted. Jesse did lots for our NNSY. May he find an eternal reward in heaven. Peace to all who knew him.
John was my classmate in medical school. He was a great person and a superb friend. We corresponded by email many times during the last several years. We attended several reunions together at WVU.
John’s humor always brightened the day.. I will miss him.
I trust that God gave him an easy passage from this world to the next eternal one!
May God bless Joan and the family.
Reginald Cooper M.D.
RIP Jesse, prayers to you and your family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He truly was a GREAT guy.
Don is going to be truly missed he was so kind hearted always willing to help anyone i definitely gonna miss his dancing and singing wow no more suffering you have earned your wings fly high friend fly high 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you to Steve for bringing me into his family 30ish years ago and giving me a “Virginia” family. Your mom was so protective of me and gave me SO MUCH unconditional love. I loved our almost weekly lunches and the hours we spent sitting in her den just chatting. I miss her feisty spirit, her giving heart, and mostly her unwavering support.

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the family at this difficult time.
Phil you are the founding force and spirit of sailing in Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay. Each of us know the kind ,warm and generous spirit that you engender in every human being you met..The sailing world probablly doesnt know the full impact you had on Southern Bay sailing. You personally stabilized and grew CCV in its infancy. You created races when none existed; you mentored ALL OF US and we are all deeply grateful. THE HYC BAR HAS FOREVER LOST A STOOL..SO IT GOES. nameste my friend. bouchard/ganar/bumps.
I worked with Sirley at Jonathan Corporation. She always had a smile for everyone and we had some really good times. May God grant peace and comfort to your family. I was very blessed to have known her, may she Rest In Peace.

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.
So sorry to hear the news of the loss of your mom. She was such a wonderful person. I have such fond memories of spending many weeks with her during the summers when you girls were small. Great memories and many hours have been shared your mom and grandmother, Aunt Esther, two great ladies.
Ms Teeny taught me how to honor God, by not being too busy to honor God!
Don was my business Partber from 1984 to 1989. I would line to donate to the Family’s designated Charity.
I want to express my sincerest condolence for the family of Commander Ron Bishop. I served on the USS John King in the early 80s and Commander Ron Bishop was the Captain. He was an upright and just leader that had a positive influence on my life as a young sailor. I will never forget 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.
I’ll always remember Don’s great sense of humor. Working with him was a pleasure and he could bring a light moment to all of us when we needed it. My condolences to his family and to Scott. He will be missed by many of us.
I am sorry.
I’ll always remember Uncle Ed as someone who knew a lot about almost everything. His curiosity and unlimited energy propelled him into all manner of projects and pursuits.
I’ll also remember summer trips to stay with Uncle Ed and Aunt Jo. They not only tolerated but encouraged my enthusiasm for seafood and living history with (how many?) trips to Yorktown battlefields and Colonial Williamsburg!
My high regard and loving affection go to all of you!!!
I would like to send my sincerest condolences to the family of Commander Ron Bishop. I thought of Commander Bishop many times over the last 30 years. He is a caring, just, compassionate and gracious person. It was a pleasure to serve him on USS John King. Fair winds and Following Seas, ,”Captain Crunch” (you had to be there).
Happy Heavenly birthday my dear friend
Don was a client who became a great friend over the years. I have valued his insight and friendship over the years and know that he will be missed by all who knew him. Smooth sailing Don!
Joann has been a strong link in our family and we will miss her sorely. I saw a lot of my Grandparents and Great-Grandparents in Joann. Every time I saw her or listened to her voice it reminded me of a lot of good memories, in which she has helped to make. Joann and Roy have been a family treasure to us. With much Love; Rest in Peace, Aunt Joann
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.

Dear Donna and family, We have lost a great guy! There are so many years of fun memories from the old neighborhood. Billy
Words can’t express how Aunt Joann effected my life and so many others in our family. She was a second Mother to all of us. She and Roy always said we were their other children!
We always looked forward to her and Roy’s visits when we younger! We knew there was going to be Candy and School supplies and lots of love. She always had time for each and everyone of us! Joann and Roy’s words of encouragement has stayed with me throughout my life.
They loved my children as if they were their own Gradchildren. They always were there for them in every milestone of their lives. They were very special to them.
God truely Blessed me with a wonderful, feisty, strong and beautiful Aunt who influenced my life in many ways! Love you Joann! Rest in Peace!

Joann was a very special person. She always was so supportive of my wife and her siblings and our children. Joann always treated me as family. Even when talking on the phone, she always told me that she loved me. Joann will be greatly missed. Love you Joann, Rest In Peace.
So thankful for the memories. So loved by his sister.

My deepest condolences to the family of Wilbert Lee Patillo. Lee was a very great guy and friend. I loved him like a brother.
Cat, I’ve been in shock these last couple weeks. I missed you so much over this last year there are no words to describe it. Now to find out this happened. You are one of kind and I am blessed to have been in your life for those years. I will never forget how much we laughed and at times cried together. You truly are my best friend and I will love you until my last breath. Until we meet again.
My profound sorrow in learning of John’s passing. I enjoyed the walks we took and the humorous and always upbeat spirit he possessed. I feel privileged to have known such a person, and to have been able to call him “Uncle John”.
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.
Fredde Howarth
Chick was one of a kind and we all will miss him very much.
My heartfelt condolenses Sue and family members. Uncle Phil was the last of my Dad’s siblings to pass. It is not easy losing someone however Uncle Phil had a long and esteemed life and that we can look back and celebrate. My thoughts and proayers are with you.
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.
My sympathy to my childhood best friend. Love to Chick’s family, especially Donna for your kind support during Chick’s most difficult journey. My thoughts and love to the many friends that had the great pleasure to share many years of memories with Chick and his family and our many mutual friends.Chick will always be missed and loved for his wonderful friendship that we were so lucky to have shared.He was my best friend through our childhood and the great memories will last forever!! Love and prayers to his family and friends.
He truly is a wonderful person!
Virginia Beach has lost the ultimate Beach Boy. While he worked diligently to assist his lovely wife Pam, he struggled mightily with his own health issues over the last few years. A generous and kind man, he lived a happy life and had a ton of fun along the way. I was a true pleasure knowing him. Thanks for the memories, Chic!
We will always remember the Egg Harbor days. Life was at its best.
Prayers with family..
We are so very sorry about dear Chick. He was a southern gentleman and always a fun person. His devotion to Pam was a lovely tribute to their bond. He will missed by all who knew him. Sending our heartfelt condolences, we pray for peace for Chicks family.
Donna & Beau Killen
What a great guy!
Missing your friendship so very much! R.I.P.
Her love will always be with you and may the memories you hold in your heart help to ease the pain through this most difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Karen, I was so sorry to hear of Carolyn’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your daughters. -Robi Atherholt
Chick and Pam have been my friends for 45 years. I am so sad for Chick’s passing. He was so cherished by Pam. My prayers to his family.
It wouldn’t be Christmas in the later 80s without the all night party at Chick and Pam’s! They were the power couple of 571/2 St. and always fun company. Pam’s illness was heartbreaking but Chick’s love and care… heroic!
My deepest condolences to Donna and Family.
Many stories to follow when his many friends gather in remembrance.
Sandy Martin
I was so sorry to hear about Susan. I worked with her in Alpharetta at ChoicePoinrt..
I remember the good times we had at work and also our good times away from work.
My condolences to the family. We will always have our good memories.
We enjoyed working with Carolyn for many years at Dominion and VNG. Sending heartfelt condolences and prayers of comfort to her family. Mary Jo & Mike Bailey
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.
Chick was a fellow KA at ODU. We spent many times having a cold one, playing volleyball in the KA house back yard and just enjoying life. Chick did enjoy life. He was a good man and will be missed. I remember our times together as if it was last week. His memory will never fade. “ Rest In Peace Chick” God Bless.
Tracey and Lesley, I want you to know you all are in our prayers. Mom and the rest of the family, Cherrill Ann and her family as well know what you are feeling. We lost dad ( Newton)in Dec and I know they are together walking the streets in heaven. Your mom was a beautiful soul in my eyes, always so sweet and kind when I remember being around her when I was growing up. They both of you just as beautiful. We love you both and will be thinking bout you all .
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. ❤️
I knew Carolyn many, many years ago and she was such a good hearted person. My sympathy to all who loved her.
I am so sorry to hear about Carolyn’s passing. I loved talking with her when we worked at VNG. She was very “SPECIAL” !!!! and always very kind to me xoxo. I will say prayers for the family and Karen & children. Please let me know when there will be a service or celebration of life for her. 757-548-2921 or if you need any help.
All My Best & Love Tina McMillian
So sorry to hear of Carol passing, enjoyed the time we spent working together at VEPCO/Dominion Power. My thoughts are with her love ones.
Sail on, Captain!
My heart is heavy with sadness to see this obit. I have known Hugh for many years as I was his home health case manager when he lived in Ohio. We kept in touch thru the years, and it was always a joy to hear from him. I hadn’t heard from him in a while and tried to call him a couple of times. I thought something was wrong when I didn’t reach him. He was a fine man with deep faith in God so, I feel certain he is surrounded in beauty in heaven. His memory will always warm my heart and put a smile on my face. RIP dear friend.
So very sorry to learn of your loss. Praying for comfort and peace.
Dear Theresa and Dunstan Family,

Skipper, my Skipper, we flew together through thick and thin, sleet, heat, and an awesome A fleet..
To share your cockpit is to splendor in the joy of the sail. Your trust in us, your crew, lead us to glory after glory, whether we placed or not. You are a Skipper for the ages…and no matter where you are: Will you please get a #2 for the sake of your grinders.
Thank you Sue for sharing him with us. And a special thanks for Catherine for your kindness and devotion to Feather.
An era has pass. And Phil would want us just to carry on. To go out there and fetch the next mark. And we will, dear Skipper, we will.
Ready about, hard to lea…
As in-laws of Don’s son Jeff, we always enjoyed whenever we would meet up with Don at family gatherings. I know he will be greatly missed by his family. Our condolences.
Served with Colonel Jonas as his XO for a year in recruiting command. Even tempered, good natured he was a pleasure to work with. A good man and leader.
Chick, his nickname, was a wonderful husband to our daughter, Pam Stahlin Ford, especially during the last ten years as she suffers from early onset Alzheimer’s. He did his best for her. He is no longer suffering. He will be greatly missed.
Our deepest condolence. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Jay brightened everyone’s world with his smiles and stories. We will truly miss him.
I was so sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. He was a genuine nice guy – funny, witty and kind. As children we had many great times in San Francisco. My condolences go to the family. Cousin, Karen
Dear Connie, Kim, Troy
We were just made aware of the untimely passing of your Husband/Father, Medley. He was the “Mayor” of the Woodhaven section of Va. Beach. If anyone needed anything, Medley was the source for his knowledge, for tools, or for parts for a project. Medley will surely be missed by all that knew him.
If you need anything, Elinor and I are available for you.
Rest in Peace Medley, our neighbor and friend.
Un dolor muy grande el no haberme despido de mi madrina y prima que dios le tenga un buen lugar ella fue lo mejor

I worked with Ed during many of his generous years at the Virginia Living Museum. Ed was always a joy to be around, share stories, listen to his tales and bounce ideas back and forth. He was so much fun. I so enjoyed his easy smile and sometimes wry sense of humor. In watching him interact with children and adults I know that his presence brought many smiles to the guests who visited the Museum as well as great learning. I am lucky to have known and worked with Ed and share in the happiness of such a good man. Rock – Education Dept.
I was privileged to know Don for many years, starting in Mooreland Farms in Richmond. 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
Don was a dear friend and fellow alumnus of R-MC. His contributions to the success of the College, were without measure. He was the epitome of the accolade, Trustee Emeritus, My most sincere condolences to his family.

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
Rest In Peace
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 Susan,
I was so saddened to read in the USNA Shipmate of Bob’s passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have known Snookie all my life. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. May the Lord be with you during this time, and grant you peace.

I am very sorry to read of Snookie’s death. I met him about 55 years ago when my Dad Robert Turner, and his Dad Ed Haith worked together at VDOT. Snookie, like his father, was very special. Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace, my friend.
Please accept my condolences on Donald’s passing. He was one of the good guys.

Chip will be so missed. He had a smile that lit up a room and a true Lion at heart. I loved being able to work with Chip on many projects. At the annual Lion’s Christmas parties, Chip would always volunteer to pass out the cookies. With a glean in his eye, he enjoyed giving out the cookies and having a couple himself!
Jim often talks about the good times at Mister D”s in Williamsburg. Hard to believe that was 45 years ago.. Those law students that he gave jobs to went on to practice law and two of them are now judges. Chip had a positive effect on many lives. He will be missed.
My condolences go out to the family..🙏🙏🙏

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,
Ginny Stone Mackin
So saddened to hear of Beverly’s passing. Such good memories growing up as cousins. I appreciate how she took the time to visit my dad when he was in the hospital there in Hampton prior to his passing. I think that was the last time I saw her. Rest In Peace. I know you are with Dickie.
My condolences and my family’s for your loss. We will remember her as someone very cheerfully and generous towards others. Always willing to help the needy. We thank God for having met Elizabeth and shared with her in this world and are looking forward to sharing much more in heaven.
We love you Papa T
See you in the funny paper Papa T, love your Paigey waigey and Jaylen. <3

A truly great role model, always kind, quietly brilliant, and a great supporter of Randolph-Macon College.
I just learned today … June 9th, 2022 , that Don had passed away on May 11, 2022. 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
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Mary. I’ve been her hairdresser for about 20 years, and we have grown to be such good friends!!!!
I’m also sorry that I just found out. I would have loved to be able to say goodbye.
The family is in my prayers, and Mary is going to be missed so much!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
I miss talking with you. Things are much easier for you now. No worries. Love ya girl.
May your family and friends find comfort at this time of grief!
Jeannie was much loved and will always be remembered. Miss you
Aunt Jeannie will be missed. I was thinking back to when she used to greet me with a “Callie Wally Doodle All the Day” song, when I was little. Prayers for comfort for all the family and friends. Hold onto the memories tightly.
We were so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. He was a Wonderful man. We send our thoughts and prayers to his Family.
I send my heartfelt condolences too Shawn’s friends and family. Shawn and I attended Indian River High school together although we didn’t become friends until later in life. I’d been calling him to check in and he didn’t respond, I met Shawn at Brad’s Second Generations playing Donkey Kong. We started going out almost every weekend to Brad’s to meet and dance with the ladies. I found my bride there and Shawn was my “Best Man”. We had way too many adventures to share, and I’ll miss him forever. Rest In Peace my brother, thank you for sharing your life with me. May God comfort all who grieve Shawn’s passing. I will keep everyone in my thoughts and Prayers.

Sorry to hear about our “little buddy, Mikey”. We enjoyed our visits on the front porch at the beach, and breakfasts at the greasy spoon. Mike had a good heart, and was always willing to lend a hand, and was quite handy. He’s in a good place now. God bless family and friends.
Snookie was a trip!! After I lost my best friend, Gary, I felt lost and my family’s tie to the Haith family was different.
I worked for Sissy and she was the best boss ever. James is someone that I always looked up to. Laurie the beautiful sister. Ann the little quiet sister.
Mr Haith the walker.
Snookie, my brother and I had some adventures after we lost Gary – some were a little dangerous)
Years later, as a father, watching my kids compete in martial arts at Va Wesleyan. I looked into the stands and there was Snookie. Why? Still have no idea and yet I hugged him like the brother I lost.
We are so sorry to hear about Pete’s passing. We enjoyed him so much the 2 years he lived upstairs from us. We will miss him dearly. We’re so sorry for the family.
It’s so sad to lose someone so long, he was my father’s first cousin.
Kathy,
Our most heartfelt condolences on your loss. We have many wonderful memories of the times we spent together in Scottsdale; Wednesday evening dinners with the Pueblo Sereno group, lunch at the “tea house”, and many other gatherings and visits. Steve was a great guy and fun to be with. We will miss him very much. We wish you the best.

Please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers through these difficult times. We always enjoyed spending time with Carter. He is at peace now and we hope you will find peace as well. Love, Kenny Mac and Retha
Our family send condolences to the Tabb Family along with an expression according to the Holy Scriptures at Revelation 21:4 “and He (God) will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more: neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
May the God of all comfort grant you comfort and peace. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)
The Charity Family
Rest In Peace, Jack. Many memories, won’t be forgotten.
Richard was a long-time member of the Tidewater Chapter NRHS, and will be missed.
Wonderful nephew always had a big hello and goodbye hug for you, will miss him a lot
He was a person who went out of his way to make people feel welcomed and would help you if you needed anything. He was one of the friendliest people you could meet and loved to sit out in the sun and visit the beach as often as he could. Many of the animals who lived by him would always come by for the food he would leave or and would slowly inch towards him each day until they were comfortable with him. We will always remember him for these memories he has left with us.
Courtney, Kevin and Kelly and families….our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Kenny was a great guy and loved you all so much. Our best wishes to you all. Be at peace, Kenny.
Sorry to hear about Beverly’s passing, she was a great lady and will be missed. Thoughts, Prayers, and Condolences sent to her family.
May you rest in Peace..

Hey, Dad –
I’m not really sure why I haven’t left a condolence earlier, but I guess when one speaks of eternity, it’s hard to be late.
I sure do miss our laughs together and your experience and guidance in confusing times. I hope there’s awareness there on the other side – I’m not sure I’m prepared for a total and complete lights out state when I join you all.
Either way, I love and miss you dearly. Hug Mom and Barry, Jr. for me.
Your son,
-Mason
I miss you.
Nate, you will always be considered my Second Son. We had so many good times together, you & Devon! Y’all were each other’s Best Friends since birth. We will carry on your Beautiful Spirit always . We Love you and Miss you so much! But we will see you again in Heaven. Rest easy our Angel 😇
She was such a wonderful person, as well as a blessing to me as a mentor in school. I only wish I had kept in touch with her longer. May she rest in eternal peace, but may her light continue to shine through those who knew her.
Rest peaceful now son. You will be missed 💙 you, mom.
Kayla and family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I pray you find comfort and strength through God.

I remember listening to him practice his English (?) horn, and playing in Byrd Park on July 4th. I have always cherished his offer of support when my dad suddenly fell ill in 1977.

I was sorry to hear about Martin. He was an active member of the Chesapeake Rotary Club for a lot of years and contributed generously to The Rotary Foundation. He was always polite and a pleasure to talk to.
Goodbye sweet neighbor and dear friend. We enjoyed our long friendship; we will miss you and the almost daily calls we shared over the many years.
We have your family in our thoughts and prayers. John was a kind and thoughtful person who loved his family to the fullest.
Mr. Emmett was one of the finest mentors in my life. During a challenging period in his own story, he helped guide me in becoming a leader. He was most certainly a friend, and he taught more than a few of us how to sail.
We were so sorry to hear of Nick’s death. He was such a good man. We fondly remember our pre-cana days. Grateful for our time together. Grateful too for Seekers that gave us the opportunity to come to know your strong, independent, beautiful daughters. Our sympathies are with each of you.
Irene was the sister I never had. We started working together in 1963 and the friendship began. We spent so much time together in and away from the office, and told each other our deepest thoughts. My prayers go out to her family and I will miss her every day.

Margaret Ann and I grew up in the same neighborhood and were childhood friends.

Miss you mom. You always loved the boys, as evident in the photo. Hope Charlie met you as soon as you passed over. I know the rest of your furry children and your family were waiting too.
We send to Barbara and the entire Welsh family, our deepest sorrow and condolences. There are people in your life that truly have an influence by both example and exceptional, and this was simply Cecil. From family, VMI, his engineering love, his extraordinary wife, his children and grandchildren, his legacy is simple yet far-reaching, and HE loved Big Band music and knew every song…..”When that big brass hits you in the chest!”.. we are so grateful for all the memories in our heart.
Jack and I always enjoyed Ron and Marion’s visits to Manteo. We always had such a good time going to the beach, dining at Stripers and eating the huge crab legs and shrimp, and just hanging out at our home. Sending thoughts and prayers for the family.

Thinking of you Jamie and family.
I miss you already mom I will also miss our weekly chats on the phone so I could catch up on all the happenings back home you are gone too soon but I know you are not in pain anymore. You were the most caring and thoughtful mom a man could ask for rest in peace 🕊️
Mr Welsh was the sweetest man! A devoted husband , father , grandfather and great grandfather. He could build anything and liked to do it himself, when possible. His sense of adventure and seeing the world was there , even in his last days. He was lucky to have three supportive, loving children and grandchildren to visit, bring him his favorite foods , take him to Drs appointments , taking drives around town to see the sights and dancing at the French festival most recently. He and Mrs Welsh were like second parents to me growing up . As adults , he was always interested in catching up and sharing great stories. You are missed and I am sure Paradise must be amazing !
We are all going to miss you. Jimmy, Joy, Weston, Alex and Samantha.
You are so completely missed, I love you Sherry Lynne and my life seems so much less without you by my side, I will see you soon my love please know I will love you forever

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.
Dear Franky
I’m so sorry to learn of B’s passing. What a wonderful family man and what a wonderful couple the two of you were. Condolences to you and your family.

Ellen was a wonderful lady. She will me missed.
Miss Ellen was everything and more that this tribute to her reflects. How very, very, very, much she will be missed. Wherever she went and with whomever she interacted with, she left a huge bouquet of sunshine, happiness, and uplifting positivity. I will always remember her with that great and beaming smile and laugh. May a choir of angels sing her to her rest and my our Dear Lord and Savior touch her family and friends with His grace, comfort and peace. A friend.
You will live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who love you. I’m so happy you were blessed with the reunification of your family before your passing, and I know the women who’s arms you will walk into now have strength in their embrace. God bless and bring peace to the family left behind. I will keep you all in my heart and prayers
I had the pleasure of meeting Ellen at the Chamber of Commerce when she came to a meeting. Always smiling. I told her that Coach Kelso was my English teacher at James Blair. She was so pleasant and pretty. Condolences to Coach and family.
A lovely woman and passionate educator. She left her mark on the world that will continue for generations to come.
Stephen was a warrior. I think he fought the good fight so he could have as much time with his family as he could. How wonderful that he was able to meet one grandchild, and knew another was on the way!

Bill and family, I am so sorry to hear of Ellen’s passing. From my time in Williamsburg, I remember a few archaeology group get togethers and seeing Ellen play her bass. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
We are so sorry to hear about Mrs. Kelso. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Rest easy!
This makes me so sad. I have known Bill and Ellen for years…. Williamsburg and Monticello days. I worked for Bill in both places.
Ellen was one kind and joyful woman.
Ellen… the world is a better place because you were in it. Bill my heart goes out to you and the family.
Blessings all around .

Tony was a high school classmate that always was a friendly and kind fellow. I never heard anyone say anything unflattering about him. He was someone who was interested in the person he was with and making strangers feel welcomed. I am sorry his final years were physically difficult; he was much more deserving. RIP Tony.
Bill,
My condolences to you and the family. Ellen was a loving and generous woman….and one helluva bass player. She will be missed.
Sending much love to all the Cahoon family as Brian remains in our hearts & memory. Im looking forward to the time we can welcome Brian & all those we have lost, back to a paradise earth… forever! Until then, he rest free from the burdens of this system … safely in Jehovah’s memory.
Tony loved and wanted you to be happy. He and I knew that he has a wonderful family who took devoted care of him
Tony was hands down the most genuine man. His perseverance unmatched by anyone I’ve ever known. You will be deeply missed by all of your girls. Thank you for being a father figure in my life. Finding solace knowing that you are resting easy.

I’ll always remember Ellen’s smile and enthusiasm. My favorite memory is Ellen behind her bass and beside Bill on banjo, playing for the field school dancing the Virginia Reel. She truly will be missed.
Sending love and prayers to lift you up during this sad time. May the angels carry and comfort you. Peace and hugs! Kim Boyd
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.
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.
Jack and Linda, you are the best parents Brian could have had, both in your personal care of him as well as seeing that he had the best of care when it came time to entrust him to others. 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. Love to you both and to the entire family.
Rest in peace dear Aunt Irene.
To the Cahoon Family, I remember meeting Brian when I first came to the Broadmoor congregation. He was just a young fellow then and Linda dressed him so nice. Those little sailor outfits were so cute. He loved greeting people and showing us his stuffed animals. 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
I love you and will miss you, but you are with our Lord and Savoir

Our deepest condolences to the family. 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.
Sandra Ann and I send our heartfelt condolences.
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.
We are praying hard for all of you. Sending so much love.
A great guy, musician and dear friend. Always quick to help others. I will miss him.

The best most loving family man I ever met. Much respect to all of the family. I am blessed to have met them.
John was a good man and a loyal trustworthy individual. He was a Master Firefighter for over 30 years and trained countless others.

Rest easy man, I am so sorry for the Bowen family’s loss and the rest of us who lost a friend. His struggles were real, but he tried his best to overcome them. The demons won that night, but the Lord gained an Angel, he is now safe from those demons who haunted him.
We were blessed to have Cecil a part of our Holly Bluff neighborhood. It was always great to sit on the porch with him and Barbara and share stories. What a great person he was!!! I will always treasure our Aurora borealis event here on the Shore, standing on our docks and hollering back and forth, “Wow, did you see that?!”
Our deepest sympathy to the family! You were blessed with a great husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend!

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. 🤍🤍🤍
Matt and i worked at Saturn. Matt always knew how to make me smile even on my darkest days. We would have long talks about life, the good and the bad. I remember going to see his band play a lot! He was a hard worker and a good friend. I am so sorry he is gone but happy he is finally set free from all the pain he was dealing with.
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
Al
Matt was such a great friend and a very hard worker. Our friendship turned more into family. He and I worked together for years. Started together at Saturn and ventured on together at Mazda. We always joked because everyone called me his work wife. Matt was such a great person. Going to be missed. RIP my friend. My condolences to the family.
Deepest Sympathy Brian was an AWESOME friend.
I love you so much Daddy, you are my everything & more. Thank you for being the very best Dad I could ever have. The boys love you soooo much, Kayden and Kingston.

Sending prayers for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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
Matt was such a good guy gone way too soon. Willing to help anyone who needed help with anything. He was the first friend I had when I moved here. I met him a Saturn of Va Beach and we became friends almost immediately. I never met anyone who had anything bad to say about Matt .He will definitely be missed! Your fight is finally Brother Rest in pease my old friend,
Never forgotten
Matty, Words cannot begin to express the depth of grief this news will be to so many. You were the little brother I never had. I loved you much even when you were a pain in the butt tagging along on all me and Soph’s adventures. From Bushido to swimming in the pond with the horses. (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!❤️
We are so very sorry to have lost our church friend, Phil. Now he is with our Savior and is at peace. ✝️❤️
Phil was a good friend at work (City of Norfolk) and on the golf course. He is gone too soon. Go Hokies!

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 ❤️❤️😢😢

Phillip was a member with the Suburban Acres Civic League for many years. I missed seeing him at the meetings. To the Cary family we are sorry for your loss. May His Memory Be Eternal.

Our last picture…it still doesn’t seem real…all I can remember are the fishing trips, road trips, you with the kids….I remember every little thing papaw…I miss you terribly xo love J-HI
Primo I will never forget you. I thank God for putting you in my life. All the things you and Sonia did for me and my family. I still remember how you laugh and how positive you were on any situation. Thank you for being such a wonderful person to me and my family. GOD bless you in your journey to HIM. Adios gran Primo.
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.

Phil was always so kind to me! I enjoyed being his hairdresser for many years! I always made sure I had some milk chocolate especially for him. He was soft-spoken, kind, and very generous. Claudia I love y’all and I am praying for peace for you and everyone who knew and loved Phil. You took very good care of him until the very end! 💛
I send condolences that first your mom and now your father have finished their lives’ journeys. Celebrate them! I know they meant so much to you. When (if) you sometimes find yourself lonely or sad in these days that follow, take comfort in the closeness you shared with them and in the memories I’m sure you’ll re-live time and time again. They were so blessed to have you as their loving daughter.
God bless this wonderful soul. She will be missed by so many and I am eternally grateful to the love she shared to those around her.
So sorry to hear about Lewis. He was one of a kind. Hugs & prayers to the family.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss! Even though I unfortunately haven’t been in contact with my cousin Roxanne, I have very fond memories of the summer time stays where she was pretty much stuck toting me along with her. As the younger one, I loved being with the “big kids” that were old enough to drive and hang out with friends at the beach. She never complained about having to take me everywhere with her. She was always so kind to me.
At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe
That the sun will once again shine.
That’s when it seems you do nothing but grieve,
With joy left behind.
Until we meet again rest my dear friend” Honey” in the arms of the Lord with your boys
You will be forever loved and remembered .. Fly high Fly high
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.
My cousin Sharon Roberts &Family I’m so sorry for your loss I’m praying for all of you may God give u strength to hold on and comfort you I may have not ever met Rob but he was and always be my cousin as I remember it is so hard for me to say anything no words can say this pain u are going though I know God will heal your pain it will never go away but always remember he love his parents and his daughter & family my condolences again may in R.I.P🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️love u cousin Lillian Mendoza

Dearest Marion, It is with much sadness that I say good bye. You have always been my best frient and confidant. As my sister you have always looked to my well being. I miss our daily phone calls and weekly visits. I will always cherish the time we spent together.

With highest regard, much love and affection. Your forever sister. Carolyn
Pati I’m almost a loss for words as to how much you meant to our family. You were my best friend I’d go to you and talk about anything and not be judged. You were like my sister and I was ready to help you in any way I could. We had some fun times that I can’t talk about but people that knew you would understand. I’m glad you are reunited with Bobby and Jimmy. Behave up their but have a great time! Love you and I’m so glad you’re at peace. RIP
Love you Pati may you rest in prace

Will see you on the other side my Nephew, my Godson! I cherish our talks about God, life and family. I only wish I could have done more to help you. You are with our savior now and reuniting with family. Sing with joy! Dance with energy! Smile with happiness. Gone is the pain and suffering of this world. I’m going to watch over your Mom and Pops. I know how much you loved them. We will all watch over the children and Kira will be ok. Keep our place in line. We will celebrate your life because we know that’s what you would want us to do. Be blessed Nephew!
I love you B! FOREVER! My soul has a crater in it. Thanks for being such a good everything for almost 30 years. You will never be forgotten or replaced Dad, I miss you beyond belief.
Always Babygirl,
Ash and Cory and Kiddos
You may only have one friend, you may have only loved one, you may have only one person in your life that you can always turn to. That is who what Pati was to me. For over 50 years we held onto each other like sisters. We never talked without saying I love you. Heartaches, laughter, whatever it was, we shared it. We lost our sons and grieved together. She’s now with her sons and mine like she wanted to be. And out of pain like she deserved to be. She was a strong SHEro. I will miss her. I love you Honey!
Our hearts go out to you all in the loss of Rob. We have such fond memories of spending time with ALL of your family at so many soccer games and parties. Sending you all much love and many prayers. The Bitterman Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you always, Your All Nations Church Family
Brian’s train has reached its destination! His Star will shine bright!
This photo that shows Pati’s beautiful green eyes and great smile and her spiritedness shines here. This is how I will remember her.
The day she dies a piece of you dies too. It is a piece that can’t be filled by anything else ever. The day she dies you stop breathing for a moment and wonder how the world around you will continue to go on. The day she dies you gain the most beautiful angel. You can’t see her but she is there just like she promised.
The day she dies remember her smile, remember her love, remember her life. Never forget her. The day she dies you become her legacy. RIP Pati 🙏

Sorry for your loss. I loved working with Jerry at Monsanto and have fond memories of beating him a 5K race. He was gracious about it.
Pati there are not enough words to express my sorrow. As you always held a special place in my heart for many, many years. Knowing you are no longer in pain brings some comfort, along with fond memories. Rest in peace my friend.
Betty Tucker
I had the privilege of working with Jerry at Monsanto/AES for 6 years. Jerry, Bob Wegelin, and I went for walks at lunch time whenever we were not traveling. We would often discuss our common faith in God during these walks. Jerry would often joke with me about my poor attempt to speak French! I will always remember Jerry’s kindness, his gentleness, and his loyalty to his friends and family. I hope to see you again in heaven my friend!
Rest in blissful peace Uncle Jerry. Love always
Condolences to the family. You are in our thoughts.
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.
Our condolences to you and yours during this time.
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
You were always Mom’s favorite.
Our condolences go out to you, the family, and pray that god’s blessings of comfort, strength, peace, and joy envelope each of you, during this time of need… May your hearts be filled with the fond memories of the times that you shared…
Sorry bout your luck.
(Family inside joke)
I’m going to miss talking to you during our phone calls. I am missing you George…
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.
Reggie you will truly be missed. You always had a smile on your face and never had any unkind words to say about anything. May you rest in peace, until we meet again.
Thoughts and prayers for all of Joseph’s family special heartfelt for Marc and Candace for the honorable way they took care of their father for his remaining years! ❤️
Will miss your smile!!! Fly high King!!
We’re so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and hugs to the family.
Uncle George, I will always remember the special moment we shared at Aunt Kelly’s house on the piano. We both have a love for music and I’m glad we got to bond over that. Also, I will always remember how you made the best salsa around! You are loved.
Our deepest condolences to the D’Auteuil family.
May you find peace within the love of family and friends, as well as comfort from the memories you share.

My deepest condolences to her family for Ms. Moore’s passing.

I sent up a prayer to let Ms. Angela know.

I’m so grateful to have had Rollie as my stepdad for all these years. He made my mom and me very happy with his kindness and humor and love. I miss him immensely and always will.
So very blessed to have had YOU, my Aunt Linda in my life. You opened the door of your home, your heart and your life to me and gave me my birth family.

He will be greatly missed by his friends and family. Rest in peace, my friend!
It’s hard to imagine losing such a great friend and when it happens it’s surreal. As time goes by we start to heal knowing we will meet again. God Bless!
I was definitely blessed to have met and known Rob, although for a short period of time! I met Rob shortly after he moved into my neighborhood last October while walking my dog, Duke. We would stop and talk with him 3 or 4 times a week if we saw him outside and he always welcomed us with “Hey Duke”!
Rob was always happy and loved life even with all of his health issues and we will miss him.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends!
Rest In Peace Randy. My condolences to your family.
She will be missed very much, but she is with God now.

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!
No words can express how heartbroken I am for all of you. May you have comfort that Steve is not suffering any more. Sending all of my love and prayers to all of you. Rest In Peace Steven. Love, Aunt Gloria
Claudia you were so devoted to Phil caring for his every need, what a loving wife you have been. He surely will be missed by us all. As I walk my Sparky everyday I am reminded of Phil doing the very same thing, how he loved his dogs too. He is with Jesus now and in no more loss of anything, looking down and smiling on you. I pray your comfort and loving heart to know how much our Lord loves you both.

Pati,
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.
Love ❤️ David (Paul)

You are a great husband and a wonderful father . you always made me smile, with some of the crazy things you’ve said ……me and Jacob want to know who’s going to cook for us now well at least the things you did cook for us because they were wonderful you are missed so much but you are definitely an angel that got your wings if I have anything to say about it and you gave the best hugs that anybody could ever ask for I’m glad for that because if I was upset one day I remember you always coming up and just giving me a hug and squeezing me and then it just felt like all the worries of the day melted away my heart misses you so much it breaks every day the more and more I think about you When I close my eyes you’re always there even sometimes when they were open you were there and the people that were your friends I am very sure that they were happy to call you their friend at the end of the day because if they needed you you would be there my condolences go out to your mother and your father and to your sister and to our son and to all of your friends you are missed so much and I just have to smile and keep thinking that in a few days you’ll be home because that’s the only way I’ve been able to get through this when there’s a lot of things I’m going to miss about you and I know hugging is one of the top five and some of them are going to be no comment LOL but we did have a lot of fun together and I’m just going to keep the memories alive until we meet again my love 143-143!!

Hilda was a neighbor on the court where my parents lived. I remember that she always had a positive outlook on life with many stories to tell. My favorite memory was the Friday afternoon when she came over to my parent’s house along with other neighbors and adult children to share some wine, snacks, and stories on the deck. My sincere condolences to her family at this time of loss.
Happy Birthday in Heaven. You are missed here.
Prayers for family and Always love for Mary
Wonderful memories from a wonderful cousin.
-She is the Mother of a sweet friend. Rest in His peace, Mrs. Rooney.
Many condolences and prayers for the Riggs family from Coastal Community Church.
My dad wasn’t around when I was growing up, I remember on the weekends, when Tiffany (my sister) would go over her dad’s (Andy) that sometimes he would let me come over too, and he never treated me any different, he bought us Christmas gifts growing up, and was always around, Andy was a good guy, he wasn’t obligated to do anything for me, but he did, and that says ALOT! I love you Erika and Tiffany, just know he’s watching over you guys from above!
Well grumpy stubborn old man
,thank you for always being there for our kids , they are so broken hearted as they lost their daddy , the constant in their lives
I could always depend on you when it came to the girls and for that I will always be grateful that you loved them dearly. Now I need for you to be their guardian Angel along with the grands and greatgrands
RIP Andrew

Just want to do something dumb with you one more time. I love you dude. My best friend.
We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved son Rob. No words can ever fully express the hurt in our hearts for your family. We didn’t spend a lot of time with him. However, we knew he loved his family, and adored his little dog. He was an EXCEPTIONALLY talented gardener. We saw many of the vegetables he grew. He would only allow one brand of dirt in his gardens. His mom stopped by our house once and her van was filled with it. The effort was worth it. Many delicious meals were shared.
My deepest condolences to you all
sending extra hugs that way
May Tori fly high with thee angels 💙
We are so sorry for your loss!! Mary was such a special, sweet and angelic person. Please know our prayers will be with all of your family!! And we are her if you need anything!! We love you!

He will be extremely missed. I have never met a sweeter, kinder person. He truly was an example for others to follow.
Always a beautiful soul and a loss I feel deeply, we love you Grandma. She lived a life with family that truly loved her beyond compare.
Richard was a good friend, a strong shoulder and always had sound advice. He was kind to me and everyone else who crossed his path. He was a Man’s Man when it came to Hunting, and Fishing. He was a talented taxidermist and an expert golf cart driver 😃. He was a gentleman and always had my back. I have mad love for this man. Godspeed Richard. Save me a barstool.
Love you Daddy!
My sincere condolences to the whole family. I will sorely miss Hilda as she has been my foster mom for over 50 years. I wish I could be there. Please know my thoughts are with you all.
Diana, I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Take comfort in your memories and know that you will see him again.
I love you Grandma
I can’t believe it’s been one year today since you earned your Heavenly wings. You were truly a sweet angel-still missing you my dear friend.

Dr. White treated my two sisters, myself, my daughter, and my son at CHKD over the past 30+ years. He was honest, forthcoming, and always treated our family like we were his family. Many times he would just listen to my Mom vent when no one else in the medical community would. He was just an amazing human and we are all sad to hear of his passing. Much love from the Moore-Maag family <3
Life will never be the same without you here, but we will see each other again I love and miss you very much. Fran

While in the process of dedicating one of my books to Dr. Canestrari, I discovered that the great man had passed away in 2020. Dr. Canestrari was the consummate clinical psychologist on the Peninsula for forty years and a powerful force in the field of mental health. In school systems throughout the state and as founder of Colonial Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Dr. Canestrari helped more children in Virginia than any man of his generation.

While I only had Mr Sale for the one year I attended NCS as a senior, he had a huge impact on me and my confidence. He pushed me both through participating in two plays and taking his humanities class to strive for things I thought were beyond my ability. I remember him as a thoughtful, challenging, and demanding teacher, and I looked forward to both classes and talking with him less formally. He will be missed.
Stan it was a honor working with you and I’m so thankful for you trusting me and taking care of you doing your last day’s. I remember you told me you were tired now you can sleep peacefully Stan the Man. Until we meet again.
We never really got to know him well, but my wife and I always looked forward to our passing conversations whenever we walked the dog or headed out on the town. After a long day, it was nice to come home and see his smiling face on his porch. A friendlier man you’d be hard-pressed to find. He will definitely be missed.

I had the privilege to have known Joyce for many years and work along side her at Davis Middle School when she served as the library clerk. You could always count on her to have quality work with much attention to detail as she prepared books for the students to check out. She was dependable and always willing to help in any way. She had such a love for her family, watching Rachel and Brandon grow into adulthood and then as they became parents themselves. What a blessing it was when Rachel moved close to home, so Joyce could be with her grandchildren. You can see the joy on her face when she was with her family. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that God will bring you comfort.
David & I didn’t have the pleasure & honor of meeting Joyce, but know her son, Brandon & his daughter Adaline. Brandon is marrying our granddaughter, Abby this coming March. We would have loved to meet her then. We are sending our most sincere condolences to the Nodurft family in their time of grief. May the good Lord watch over all of you knowing that Joyce is no longer in any pain and is in His loving arms.
Sending our sincerest & heartfelt condolences.

George will be dearly missed. I have fond childhood memories of playing with George in Iowa. He was always a good sport and endured my silly, make-believe games. George was very friendly and could start a conversation with anyone. His caring and selfless approach towards others will be missed.
Our deepest sympathies to those closest to him whom he left behind.
I feel certain all of Wilton’s winged friends will help his spirit soar. Connie my heart breaks for you. Love and friendship, Rebecca Conti
Thank you, Wayne, for adding to the richness of my life. We had good conversations and many good laughs. I will miss you my friend, especially on football Sundays.
Connie,
Please accept our deepest sorrow.
He will always be remembered by the both of us.

George used to babysit my children, he was kind and had a heart of gold. God has gained another angel, my prayers are with Mary and family.
George was a wonderful nephew. He was deeply loved by everyone. He was kind and compassionate. He was deeply loved by everyone whose life he touched. He will be sadly missed. There will always be a special place in my heart for him. One day we will be together again. Aunt Diane.
I am so thankful that George was a big part of my life for many years while I was in Iowa. He was the sibling I never had. He brought much laughter and fun to my parents and me. We will always cherish those memories of him.
For example, one of the last conversations I had with him, was about how he and Dad went to Dyersville, Iowa, part of the car armada at the end of the movie Field of Dreams when they filmed it here in Iowa many years ago. He still remembered how much fun they had that day.
George was amazing with the horses and everything to do with the outdoors. He always put in whatever effort was needed to succeed with the horses.
I have been missing him for many years. He will always be a part of us. It was such a blessing to have him those years here in Iowa. We will always cherish that time we had with him.
I have known Fred for such a short time. His incredible life inspires. My conversations with him and Fay will always remain as fond memories of a warm hearted man who touched so many lives, including mine. Sunrise at the boardwalk will always be even more beautiful when I think of Fred and Fay stopping to talk. May God bless Fred and Fay and their loved ones.
I knew Joyce and worked with her at Davis Middle School. She loved her family and enjoyed sharing pictures of her children with us. She was a dependable worker and we discovered we had a love of gardening. Always enjoyed chatting with her and sharing pictures of our kids as they were growing up. Prayers and my deepest sympathies to her family.
Aunt Laura, Uncle Boomer, Allie, and Cal,
I am sending love and comfort to you. Wayne was such a kind man whose faith was a pillar of his identity, and I trust that he’s found peace with his Lord. While you mourn his loss, I am sure he is rejoicing at his reunion with family in Paradise, looking down on you all with love and blessings. I hope that memories bring you more smiles than tears as you adjust to his physical absence, though he’ll be with you always. Love you, Gin
I do miss my daddy. Time does not make death any easier. God bless him.
I was so sorry to read of your tremendous loss. I offer my prayers for you, his family, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Joyce was a lovely person. I really enjoyed the time she spent with the Master Gardeners.
Jason, I still cannot believe you are gone. The family holidays are not going to be the same without you. I know your smiling up in heaven reunited with your mom and dad, but you are going to be so missed down here on earth. I know we will see each other again in the eternal heavens. ❤️ You so much!
I will always hold the memory of the day we went wedding dress shopping with my daughter, Abby, close to my heart . We both got to witness her fall in love with the dress that she will marry Joyce’s son in. It was a special day and I am honored that we got to share in that moment together.
Joyce will surely be missed by us all.
Love

Eric was a good person, he was kind hearted and very giving. God bless him and may he rest in peace. He told me that I still had a chance to make things right in my life and to do what I needed as a father for my children. I’ll never forget your advice thank you Eric, I love you brother

Dan and I met when we were stationed at the Naval Propulsion School at Great Lakes where we started a fire under the Schools IT Department when we pointed out that the system su..ed. We were sent to the “Hot Plant” as punishment which was just where we wanted to go. We were tasked with straightening out the students who had just spent 8 weeks in Self Paced Instruction with no inter-action with the staff other than to say you did not get it correct and go back and try it again. Dan and I taught then what they should know and if I might say we did a Great Job of It. Some of the students followed me to my next duty station and were readily brought in line with what a real ship was. Dan and I were friends until his passing. I expect to see him when I report to my final command. Calm Seas and a Following Sea shipmate.
I knew Mr. Sale when he was a teacher at Frederick Military Academy. Teachers lived on campus in those days. He always had a black Persian cat and the coolest home decor. He was a demanding teacher as anyone who had him will tell you. The academic community is lessened by his passage. God speed.
My family and I are very sorry for your loss. We have lots of wonderful memories of George. One time I went over to Mary and Frank’s and George had a fresh baked apple pie coming out of the oven, it was so delicious. Those are the kinds of thoughtful things he would do. He was so kind, and had a heart of gold. His bright smile and contagious laugh will be sorely missed. Our hearts are very heavy, we love you George.

I remember when Uncle Brian met George and brought him over to Ann’s house so we could meet him. He was such a cool down to earth guy and was so easy to talk to. He fit right in and we always had so much fun. I loved when he laughed as he did often. He lived life to the fullest each day and we’ll always hold him in our hearts. I’m
so glad he and Uncle Brian had over 20 years of happiness!!❤️
When I moved into our house Nita was there to greet us. My memory of the summer days when it would rain hard and water would filled the streets my children made pictures and wrote notes, then made them into little boats sending them down the road to her. She run out the to the road to get her notes smiling and throwing kisses. She was at the bus stop each morning and when the buses returned sitting on the porch watching the children come home. She loved to pick flowers with the children to take home to their Mom’s. We spent many hours in the kitchen cooking together. She loved making treats for those that lived close. She was the best friend you could ask for,her door was always open and she had a cup of coffee ready. My condolences to her family, she loved you so. And was so very proud of you. I will remember her with each flower I plant and each butterfly. Rest well my friend, till we meet again.
RW made an impression on all that crossed paths with him. His presence was known and his words heart-felt. His legacy both hunting and fishing will live on in those he touched. He always had time to share a story or listen to yours. Rest in peace knowing you made a difference in people’s lives Richard. I’m sorry for your family’s and friend’s loss.
We’re so sorry.
Nita was a special lady and will be missed by all who knew her.

It has been 47 years since I last saw him, but I recognized his smile right away. We were high school buddies in 10th grade, then after high school he hitchhiked with me from Virginia Beach to Texas, just to keep me company. It is good to know that he was surrounded by good folks.
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Bee,he was a great man who taught me many things.My thoughts and prayers for the family.

We will always be grateful for their kindness and friendship. We will always remember our time with them in Salvo and how much the pair of them enjoyed our young children. What a legacy Terry has left to have touched many lives in a positive and encouraging way. May The Lord shine His light upon you all. Rest in peace Terry.
Terry was such a nice guy. Enjoyed seeing him at church and on the golf course.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Bill, and with your entire family as you navigate through the days ahead without Eileen. She was such a sweet, wonderful lady who loved the Lord and showed her love for Him through her actions. She has been such a vital part of the VBCC family for such a long time and she will be missed by all of us. May the Lord strengthen you, surround you with His liquid arms of love and comfort, and fill you with His peace.
In His love,
Johnny and Sharon Pollard
James was my buddy since the late 70’s. I have tried for years to contact him and family. I am so sad to hear this. James my spiritual brother you are in my heart forever and I love you.
Till we meet again… RIP my brother
I knew Jon in the mid 1980s while I attended ODU. Jon and I would play basketball together either at ODU or at any local outdoor court that had a few other players. We kept in touch on occasion after I moved to the Harrisburg area of Pennsylvania.
I am sad to learn of Jon’s passing and offer condolences to his family.
We will miss You uncle Jerry and everything about you. I love you.
It is with great sadness that I learn now of the passing of Florence Pool last year. We met in Paris in 1976 and had a lifelong friendship. A truly wonderful woman with amazing children. With love, Terri Craib
Barbara was such a treasure. A wonderful mother and grandmother. She will be missed by so many. May her memory always be for a blessing.
We love you Mom!
I will miss Barbara as our Cantor.
James and Becky, my sympathy goes out to you and your family in the loss of your beautiful momma. I’m so happy to have met her. She was a beautiful woman with a huge heart of gold. Fly high with the angels, Joyce.
Paula and David, I’m so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. Please know I’m praying for all of you as you walk these next few weeks. May Hod wrap His loving arms around all of you.
I only met Bill once at my mom’s funeral. Nice guy. sorry to hear of his passing.
I did not know Mr. Brown, but that Mr. Lewis was his friend, speaks volumes about his goodness and upright character. He will have his funeral at Emmanuel Episcopal Church which also speaks to his character and love. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in the love he leaves them. Robbie Murtha

So sorry to see that your mother passed…but no doubt she

Great lady, and always had great respect for her.

We met Nancy and E.T. at Wellspring United Methodist Church, and enjoyed being with them in Sunday School; going to lunch after church; and visiting their home on many occasions. Frequently, after lunch, we enjoyed Nancy playing the piano, and we sang together. Our conversations during these times included Nancy and E.T. ‘s family history and always a detailed update on their children and their families. This was not a short update! She was extremely proud of all of them and their accomplishments. We loved them dearly.
The attached picture, taken during our Thanksgiving visit of 2021 is one of our favorites. I always tried to get Nancy to laugh, through my silliness, at which time she would say: “Oooh Jay!” Finally, over the years, we always ended our conversations on the phone with: “Nancy, you and E.T. give each other a hug for us. We love you, blessings.” We believe they are doing that now.
Hey buddy, I’m gonna miss the hell out of you and the times that we had together.
I am glad you are at peace and in a better place. 80 years was an impressive run Dad. Be proud of your life’s accomplishments, there were many…
We’ll all see you again one day Dad, and of course “Coach Z”. I love you Old Man!

Mr. Craig was my highschool teacher from Union.
He was always educational while keeping it entertaining and light. I and many others in that school owe him a debt of gratitude teaching us that we weren’t lost causes and helping us graduate so we had a chance to move on to further education and careers.
My condolences to the family
RIP Mr. Craig thanks for making a difference!

So sorry for your loss. God brought Dan back from the brink of death more than once displaying his healing power. I was glad to be witness of God’s love in your life. My prayers will be with you Teri and your boys. My heart breaks for your sorrow.
To the family of Kate,
I spent many years volunteering at Drive Safe Hampton Roads with her. I loved the stories she would share with me about her grandchildren. She gave so much of her time helping others. Drive Safe will not be the same. She will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear that Kate passed away. She was a beautiful person and will be missed by everyone whose life she touched.
Please accept my sincerest condolences on this very sad loss. Kate was a good and loyal employee here at AAA for over 30 years and will be missed tremendously by all here. Her work in the community to promote safety for our youngest to our oldest citizens has undoubtedly saved countless lives. Kate was a sweet soul. To Rich, Daniel, and the extended family, please know that we will keep you close in our hearts in the coming days as you mourn the loss of one so very dear.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Kate. I worked with her for 17 years in Tidewater and she was well-respected and liked by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I had the privilege of working with Kate in the Public Affairs department at AAA. She was always a joy to talk to and work alongside. The department and the company offer our condolences during this time of grief.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I had the pleasure of working with Kate for 20+ years, she was always very friendly and polite, we shared many stories. She will be missed
“If I had a dollar I’d be in Paris sucking on a burrito” — Reggie reed
So many thoughts tumble through my mind when I think of Kate. she was our loyal choir director at Calvin Presbyterian for over 15 years. Even though she was not “technically” a member of Calvin Pres, she was a member in the most important way, as a sister in Christ, and lover of our Lord and Savior. Her choices of music for her small, volunteer, non-paid, non-professional choir were thoughtfully and carefully chosen to suit our voices – she made us sound GREAT! I can picture her now singing in worship and praise. Oh Kate you are so missed.
To the Wilson Family,
My heartfelt condolences as you journey through this time of loss. Kate had a gentle and easy spirit about her and was eager to converse with anyone she met. Her presence will be missed. May you find comfort in knowing that she was well regarded in the Public Affairs Community and at AAA Tidewater.
I’m saddened to learn that Barbara has left us! We shared a love of music and spent many years together in choir at St. Nicholas. Barbara’s laugh was delightful and her voice was gorgeous. My condolences to her family as well as to her dear friend John. You will be in my prayers as you move through this loss.
Rest In Peace Barbara and enjoy the heavenly choirs!
I, along with many others owe this man my life. I was in the first class of “At Risk Students” that he took on. We tested and pushed him like no other. No matter how rude and disrespectful we were, no matter how far we pushed him, he never gave up on us. He taught us to respect him, others, and most of all ourselves. He was a guardian angel to most of us. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.
I have fond memories of Brother Vincent.
He was like a father to us also.
He will be truly missed.
Our sincere condolences.
Praying for you and all your family. May our Lord give you comfort & peace in knowing that your dear Mother is with Him. Love & prayers.
What a dear & faithful brother. As I read through this obituary I felt I got to know our dear brother Vincent. We would like to send condolences to all the family & friends who knew him well & loved him. May you find comfort in your hope of seeing your dear loved one again very soon. It is wonderful to think that Jehovah, the God of all comfort, longs to resurrect His friend as much as you long to see him again. All Our Love to you as you endure this difficult time.
I miss you so much Ernie. I was so blessed and thankful to have you in my life for 30 years! Until i see you again rest in peace my love. Your wife, Bonnie
We love you, Auntie Gayle. So sorry for your loss. Vern was a truly special, remarkable person.
Dear Family, Although we don’t often see each other you are all still in our hearts. We wish to express our sincere condolences to the family. Aunt Barbara deeply influenced me in my life. Living with her, Tommy and Timmy was a special time for me. Rest in peace Barbara. Love Debbie and Roger Quist.
Laurie was my riding instructor when I was a kid at Hillcrest. I’m a trainer and farm owner in Georgia now, and I learned of her passing from another trainer at a show yesterday. My deepest condolences, the world has lost a force of Nature, her personality and passion are unforgettable and made so many lasting impressions.
My deepest condolences to Rich, Daniel and the rest of your family. I had the pleasure of working with Kate for 7 years at AAA. She was an amazing advocate for traffic safety and made a huge impact in the lives of those she touched. Whether she was helping an expectant mother install a child seat, teaching mature drivers how to stay safer on the roadways or helping elementary children be safer pedestrians, she approached each interaction with enthusiasm and a smile. She will be missed.
4ever good times in the hood from race st. deep down good man at heart. miss ya for sure, T-Bone
Chico and I miss you so much Barbara. We shared 21 years together ❤️. Barbara loved her fur babies and loved her family especially Camden. She liked to travel even go fishing with me. You are now at peace. Love you Armando

Dad, I’m so thankful God chose you to be my father. I have many wonderful memories of you taking Joey and me to south street seaport and eating clams as kids, going to Manhattan beach and having a great time with our large family, all the holiday gatherings and your YUCA pasteles! I so appreciate the time you took off to see me in my school programs, cadet corp parades/drill team and band competitions. I remember you making us homemade pizza and cherry cheesecake! You woke us up as if we were “marines!” Your trademark was listening to music and watching T.V. at the same time! There was never a quiet moment at the house. LOL
I recognize your good heart in always wanting the best for your family, and for always helping others in need. You challenged us and loved us fiercely. We always play music at the house, including Christmas songs all times of the year! I will always hold a special place for you in my heart. I will miss you very much. Love you forever! Your Vicky-boo

My second Dad Pepe- I will also remember when Vicky introduced me to her dad. He said to me “Hi I’m Pepe and I’m a Marine! I was intimidated a little bit, but I know that in time we would get to know each other. What a blessing it has been to have you in my life. It has been really hard for me these past few days, but I know that you are in heaven celebrating with your mom, Dad, Uncle Vic, TiTi Luz, and My Mother and father. I can see you all playing dominos. I will miss all the stories of Chemical Bank and your Marine story. I always enjoyed your company, taking the trip to the Naval Academy to see Joey and watch Army and Navy Football. I loved that you would play Christmas music in the summer and listen to your 50s music at all times. You were a Happy, Loving, Father to us all. I have been blessed to be part of this family for 40 years of my Life. I learned from you that family is always first. You had a good heart always willing to help the family. Thank you for being a great Grandfather to David, Diana, and Sophia. I will miss you tremendously, thank you for accepting me as your second son! I love you forever! Semper Fi Marine Melendez!

Frank, I cannot imagine life without you. You have been the best dad to me. After my first husband passed, you told me I had to go on; and I know I must in your absence as well. Thanks for all you have done. I’ll never loose the gratitude I have felt all these years – for you coming into my mother’s life and making her girls your own. Claire and Charlotte will never forget you either; because your love for them was way to powerful. Thank you for sailing through all of life’s challenges with us and for all the wonderful memories. I love you so very much. Your family loves you so very much.❤️

My deepest sympathy. He will be missed
I remember “E” being full of humor and loving life. He loved interacting with his fellow classmates and the teachers always looked out for Eric because they loved his sense of humor. He loved baseball and spent quite a bit of time on the baseball field joking with players and coaches. I lost touch with Eric some years back and always what life held for him. Sorry I didn’t have a chance to say, “Good-by.”
Rest In Peace, Coach Baggett

We love you so much Jim and Sandy. Jim will always hold a special place in my heart.

I will cherish every memory i have with him. And y’all will always be apart of our family. I love you ❤️
Frank and I were the first Mandt System trainers at the Norfolk Community Services Board. This was a system of techniques for employees to use when dealing with clients who were in crisis mode, and was offered periodically to Board staff. I recall him as a joy to work with, level headed, humorous and having a wealth of experience to draw on. My sincere condolences to his family at this sad time.
Working with Jim for 21 years, He definitely became family. Jim was a great friend and I believe that we worked well together. He was always someone you could rely on.
Losing a member of your work family is sometimes as hard as losing and actual family member. This is certainly the case here. He will be missed!
My Grandfather was a great man. So many memories will be cherished, by photos and stories. As the 1st of his grand-kids and the oldest grand kid, I can recall some very vivid and unforgettable times. Like when use to spend summers with him, had our many family vacations and trips to New York to visit. And most of all, his most favorite time of the year Christmas where he would always have 101.1 CBS FM playing the holiday tunes and who can forget when my birthday which is New Years, Dick Clack would be on the TV. The decorations would also be so vibrant, and extravagant that family would always talk about even now to this day and say remember that Christmas/ New Years party back in… where the music would be blasting and the fun was always there. As I grew up and then got married to my beautiful wife he was there. When My wife and I had our amazing and beautiful daughter, he had the privilege to hold her, hug her, and kiss her so gently that she would smile so bright and he always loved to call her his one and only great grand daughter because she was and she will always know him as her Welo Welo. I am so blessed that she will have the ability to remember him and have memories that will last a lifetime. I know he is at home in Heaven celebrating with his Mom and Dad my great grandparents, his brother my uncle, and many other family and friends that we have lost over the years. But one thing remains our Love for our family will always remain strong and I know we will see him again soon and can continue our celebration and play endless games of dominoes, sing and dance and party. Grandpa I love you. Dios Te Bendiga!!!
Grandpa/Welo Welo you will always be remembered!! Love your grandson, granddaughter and great granddaughter.
love love loved her!!! RIP Mama!
Sorry for your loss. I will always remember his bright smile when you all would visit in Wilmington 💌

I only worked with Jim for a few years but he was a kind soul that never hesitated to help. I knew if I needed assistance with something at the shop, he would be the man to ask. I’ll never forget the day he gave me a hard time about driving the cars around for service, he talked me into driving the vactor, it was an experience I will never forget! Thank you for the memories Jim and my prayers will be with you and your family.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Words cannot begin to express how I feel. I am truly lost without her and I just can’t believe this happened. I love you mom!

Mr. Wylie French did nothing to assist me/us, when it was reported that Mr. Lawrence Parks, his Industrial Arts Teacher at Green Run High School, was sexually abusing myself and other female students on his school campus during the early 1980’s. Although Mr. Lawrence Parks was later prosecuted and imprisoned, where he died in prison, Mr. Wylie French will never Rest In Peace because of his covert actions in dismissing such known behaviors.

John was always so kind and embracing. His expertise as a broker and the knowledge he had made a difference for many of those realtors he served. He worked hard to assist the realtors who worked with him. He fought for us with clients who were unreasonable. He had a gift for turning things around. He went to bat for me and I will always appreciate the way he defended me. He looked for the win win in everything. I’ll never forget that and he will always hold a warm place in my heart.
Tommy I will miss you bad

So many wonderful memories throughout my childhood of time spent with Uncle Richard. Many were from fishing, duck hunting or just sharing a good story. Never a cross word. Loved by many, missed by all.
You were more loved than words can ever describe. I hope you’re flying high, pain free and taking huge deep breaths. There were so many people waiting to see you there. Until I see you again…I love you dad <3
I have Nothing but fun memories of Lovie! Crazy days at The Cove.
Lovie you’ll be so missed by all. Your light shines bright girl!
My condolences and prayers to the family.
My prayers go out to the Powell family. I only want to remind you that Richard would want you to celebrate in his Heavenly life with Christ.
Richard was more than a brother-law and we will miss him very much.
My condolences. Love Dave Powers
My condolence to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories from the age of 6 years old until early adulthood as friends. Jumping ditches, fishing for minnows, skimming on boards in the swamp waters, blackberry picking, Terrace Theater , Speedy Gozales, going to the beach, Sun- In on our hair, tanning with baby oil in the sun, lots of birthday parties and camping in our backyard. What great memories to have. Lovie you will be truly missed by all!
Kathy and Rick, Howard and I are so sorry for the loss of your dad. I have many fond memories of Mr. Brown. I do think of him as the Maple Man. He would take Howard’s honey and whip it, so good! Your dad was such a wonderful and kind man. Thinking of him at church makes me smile. Hugs to you all.
Love, Leslie and Howard
My heart goes out to all of the family. RIP Lovie ❤️
Aunt Lovie…there will never be another like you! You will be missed but truly NEVER gorgotten! And oh what memories we have! So thankful to have shared so many memories with you and the entire family. I love you and pray that you are surrounded by Jesus and all our family who went before you ❤️🙏❤️

My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. I will remember her fondly.

I will always remember Glenn. My Dad, Marvin Stokely, recalled his childhood times with his cousin on Roanoke Island fondly. I also remember when he lived across the water from my grandparents on Bay Island. Glenn gave me marble etched bookends and a beautiful marble etched box for the birth of each of my girls. So sorry for your loss.🙏
Dick was always alert to what needed to be done and always willing and able to do it! He kept Faith’s equipment and systems running long after they needed replacing! He was also a concerned and helpful friend . He will definitely be missed!

I am so very sorry! Sallie and I worked together at Lifetouch and also had mutual friends. I always looked forward to the days that we worked together. She was a very interesting person as well.
I’m so sorry to hear of Sallie’s passing! She was a dear client who I came to see as a friend over the years. It saddens me greatly to know I won’t be seeing her warm smile again but I take comfort in knowing she be is in a better place and was dearly loved by by family and friends during her time here, especially her husband.
Sincerely,

Praying for you and your at this time . She will be missed
Jeannette was a lovely, gracious lady and she had such a sweet spirit – all of which have been doubled now that she is Home with her Lord and her husband. My first time to really get to know Jeannette was when she taught our youngest son, Matt, at Chapel Christian School. She saw potential in our son and cast him in the lead role of Daniel in “Daniel and the Lions’ Den” in their school play that year. She had such a caring heart for the children she taught and she made a great difference in Matt’s self esteem. Johnny and I also got to know Jeannette a little better at the choir functions each year at the Chapel. She loved to laugh and cut up – particularly with Jackie Lee! She was a joy to be around and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you celebrate Jeannette’s life together and we are so sorry we will be out of town and will not be there to support your family.
May God richly bless you,
Johnny and Sharon Pollard
David, you and your loved ones will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you all navigate this difficult time. I pray you all will find comfort in one another and embrace each other as you honor your wife’s life and legacy.
I was saddened to hear of Lovie’s passing. May the brightness of her spirit shine in all of your hearts. Thoughts and prayers to all of you. Chris
Dear David, my sincerest condolences to you during this difficut time. Your sweet wife led a purposeful life and her spirit was just as beautiful as her outward appearance. I pray that God will continue to hold you in his arms of comfort and strength.
Evelyn, I am deeply sorrowful to hear that your long time friend and husband Alan transitioned. Know that you are not alone and though it may be a new season of life, thanks to God that you are surrounded by family and friends. God bless you and the family in the days ahead.
Tammy,
So very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that fond memories of your mom will help you get through this very difficult time. I recall your mom to be so kind and fun-loving and I know she doted on your boys. Please know you are in my prayers. With Love, Lorel
May the love that you receive during this difficult time remind you of the love that she gave. Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for your loss.
Praying for Lovie’s entire family. My memories and love for all bring you peace. May God watch over your hearts.
Sally, you are a bright shining light forever. Thanks for your bright light you shared with the World. I will think of you when I look to the night sky from now on.
Had the pleasure of working with Richard at NAB Little Creek for many years who was soft spoken and would help anyone who needed it. Definitely a good person who will be missed.
So sorry to hear of Dean’s passing. He was a good friend during the time I lived in Virginia. Rest In Peace Dean.
When I look at this picture, I see a gentleman very much at peace with his life. That is how we wish to be when our life ends! Be at peace Gayle and family. God bless you!
Still think fondly of and miss your mom! No one as kind as her.

Dear Nancy, Kelley and Krystle,
We were so saddened to learn of the loss of your husband and stepfather. We pray God will give you His presence that brings peace, comfort and courage for the painful days ahead. You have our sympathy, prayers and blessings.
Glenn & Fleta Williams Mathews
Keith worked for me for a number of years. He was an awesome carpenter and I learned a lot from him. He would get to work late but would tell me “I’ll leave early to make up for it!” We had some good times…. he was a good man!
Rest peacefully Lovie. My prayers go out to all of her family and friends.
Very sorry to hear of Stan’s passing. Although we had not been in touch much over the years, my wife Nancy and I enjoyed visiting with Stan during several family trips to Outer Banks. Our thoughts and prayers and with Stan and his family.
Happy Birthday Sallie. I Love You.
Wanda and family, we were so sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. We remember him as a creative person who could fix and build just about everything! We hold you in prayer for comfort and peace.
Happy Birthday to my adopted daughter, Sallie. I love you so much. Mamma Rice.
Nancy,
My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family at this time of great sadness. May the grace of God bring you comfort and strength in the days to come.
Wanda and family. Please accept my sincere sympathy for Keith’s passing. He was a “fighter” in so many ways…now the battle is over and he can rest in peace. He was always so attentive and thoughtful to me and my family (Wendell and Curtis especially) when they were ill. I will miss his friendship and caring regular calls ‘just checking in’. God Bless you all and give you peace.
I love you Mommy & miss you terribly
Rest in Heaven sweet Mary, you are loved and missed by so many. A great Mom, Grandma and great grandma . Take care of your heavenly family now. Home but not forgotten

politics.
Walter and Family,
We offer our condolences and prayers for God to surround you with His blessings, strength and comfort..
i love you carlos, rest easy my friend ❤️
Condolences to the family. Keith was an old friend of the family. He did know a lot of people and loved to talk. I am sure he is quickly making friends in heaven.
I enjoyed working with Jim on various technology education projects over the years. We wrote to better prepare teachers to deliver relevant technological concepts to their students. He was a great contributor to the material sciences community and a friend.

My Momma was the most beautiful soul that ever lived. She fiercely loved her family, her friends, and her church. Momma taught us how to be strong, brave, and persevere through the hardest of times. And she loved good, terrible jokes, which fondly came to be known as “Gram jokes” by her cherished grandchildren. Tell someone a Gram joke in her honor. Laugh and smile and love each other. Momma’s love and lessons will carry on through many generations to come. Fly high, Momma. I love you forever. ~JellyBean
Bad mom/gram jokes were a thing in our family way before “dad jokes” became a term. Mom was funny and always tried her best to share joy with everyone she met. She will be missed but remembered by many. she fought so long and so hard. I am glad she can finally rest and hope she has found peace.
I have known Cyndi as a tag a long of Candy’s since we were in grade school. As adults (and we both used that term lightly) we had many good times together through church and our girls’ activities before she moved from Antioch. She will always be remembered for her kind and caring spirit and her awful jokes and puns. I remember when she got her MS diagnosis and how determined she was to fight it. And fight it, she did. She has earned her rest and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Till we meet again, my friend…
Cyndi’s beautiful spirit will be missed here and her memory is an inspiration. We can’t think of Cyndi without remembering her big heart, larger than life personality, generous sense of humor, and all the laughs that we shared together…. And her love for her dogs! When our son Carter was born she was his “Grandma Cyndi” and he was her “Huckleberry”…. She has a special place in our memories. Wishing peace to all.
God Bless You Mary. May you rest in peace. You were our most lovely housekeeper on our maternity unit. Many happy memories chatting and working with you! Love to you Mary and your lovely family!!❤️
Uncle Donnie will be missed so much! He was such a kind, caring person! And was more like a big brother than an Uncle. Fly high Uncle Donnie♥️
I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was certainly full of life and love! She will be remembered warmly. Fortunately, this is only a temporary separation! Jesus will be here soon!
Dear Greg,
We will miss you (you and your family). You were a 100% worker. We worked together a long time. I always seemed to get you out of trouble, but I gave you a lot of BS.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Karen and family. We have many happy memories of the Golden Girls! Please know we are thinking of you— Joyce and Susan Sams
Cyndi loved her silly little hats. I was amazed at how many she had. It was another way she loved putting a smile on another’s face. Her sweet humor will be missed. You are missed. Cyndi run free.

Thanks for all the good times. I miss you dearly Grandpa.
I have known Bonnie for 34 years,she is one the sweetest people I’ve ever known. I am am happy for her now that shes home with the angels. And she is free to do whatever she wants to do. I know the family is going to miss her but she is in a much better place now. And I am so happy for her.
Loved Ms. B. A great spirit and a very loving and caring human being. She always treated me like family. I’ll miss your smile and laugh. Rest in peace
Mike was great Test Engineer. We worked the Enterprise with me and his sense of humor and attitude often made my day. and he loved the Cowboys. Thanks Mike for all you did for out country and our company.
CYNDI was a bright light on a hill. The world
is dimmer with Cyndi’s leaving for the arms of JESUS
Bonnie took me under her Wing when I was just 14 years of age. I later became her son-in-law, but it was then as a young teenager that she became my second Mother, selflessly caring for me as one of her own. That Love & Guidance continued well into my adulthood and extended to her first two grandchildren, of which she helped Sherri and I raise from day one.
To me, Bonnie exemplified Unconditional Love. For the rest of my days, she will Always remain a permanent fixture in my mind and heart.
I love & miss you Mom❤😘 Please give Nana and Uncle Jerry a hug for me. We will all see you again one day and I will see if I can bring some Jujubes!❤😘
It was with sadness that I read of Jim’s passing. I know it is a difficult time for the family. It’s hard to lose someone you love, no matter the circumstances. Reading his obituary was very enlightening. It sounds as if Jim had a great career teaching and was loved and respected by his students. I can relate to your loss and the loss felt by his students and peers because my Bill was in the academic world as professor and dean. May you feel God’s loving, comforting presence during this difficult time. With love and sympathy, Martha Jo Wilson
I have heard good things about Teacher Donald Emmett. I wish I had been in his classes!
Rih trever condolences to your family
This obituary shocked me. Tony was one of most brilliant and accomplished people I have ever met. We worked closely together for years courtesy of Electric Boat, in Groton and San Diego. I first met Tony in 1975 the day he reported in to Groton after his escape from Vietnam at its end. He struck me immediately as an ‘old soul.’
I helped him move from New Britain to Groton and subsequently learned a lot about his years in Germany and Vietnam. His out-of-the-box thinking and analyses were something I and most others had not experienced before nor since. Basically, his life, accomplishments and thoughts are a book that should have been written — perhaps more than one book. He was far above and beyond a military historian.
We lost track after the mid-80’s, but I reached out from Germany and found him in 2014, and we shared in-depth correspondences for two years about our between times and my years in Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan. Then he stopped responding. I knew he was not a fan of email so I dropped him notes around Christmas for few years after. His last note to me was December 22, 2020, but included no details.
I looked forward to continuing our discussions, but nothing followed.
However his life ended, I hope it was among family and friends, with some recognition, without pain, and with the knowledge that I held him in highest regard and also as a life-changer.
Sending deepest condolences to the family. Your Mother was an inspirational, brave and loving woman who brightened many lives. May your memories be a blessing and her beautiful soul will live on.
Rest in peace Cyndi. Prayers and love to family.
So sorry for your loss, praying for you and the family. Sending lots of 💌
A life well spent. Her contributions to her community will live on.
What a beautiful spirit Cyndi had. She was such a light to this world. RIP.

Cyndi has been one of my closest friends for many years. I will miss her so very much – her goofy jokes, her silly hats, her love of animals and children, the way she named all her “vehicles”, our many lunches and card games with Candy, and so much more.
She was one-of-a-kind and heaven is brighter because of her joining! Rest In Peace, my friend. 💜💜💜

I am your baby of ur grandchildren and I can say that I have been completely distraught without u here but at peace knowing u are no longer suffering.
there are so many things I needed to talk about with u and I’ll regret a couple of them for the rest of my life but as I sat there looking at u with tears in my eyes as u lay there on ur death bed I did speak to u silently and all I could do was get out the words I’m so sorry grandma but u knew exactly what I meant by that but it’s still never gunna be the same as actually speaking to u in person. it would’ve meant more.
I love u very much and will forever miss u and no one else on Earth will never ever take ur place u were and still are the BEST GRANDMOTHER IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD.
I’m so sorry for your loss many prayers and love your way.

I just found out about Susie, my condolence to the family. We were neighbors at one time and a friend. I am so sorry to hear of her passing.
Tracy, I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband. May his sweet memories comfort you today and forever.
I find this sad news as I recover from open heart surgery. Mike was my next door neighbor in Hilltop, VaBeach. We went to school together and got into plenty of mischief as well. Didn’t realize he had been suffering.
Mike was very talented, kind, compassionate and funny. May his next journey be with fair winds and blue skies. Condolences to his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with Tracy, family and friends. A great soul lost to us.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Michael was a vibrant soul who will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him.
I have known Tommy since about 1958. He was the greatest shortstop I ever played baseball with. We were on the same softball team for a few years. I will miss my conversations with him at his store. Rest in peace old. You now will have a full team of our old friends in Heaven to place ball with.
Debra, and I are heartbroken for you and your family. Words can’t express how sorry we are. Mabel loved waking up to Mike when we walked the neighborhood and I know from stories of Lou, Mabel knew his great character. If you need anything, please know we are there for you.

Mike has always been someone that I have looked up to and felt a spark of life when I was around him, From the moment I first met him holding on to his leg as he dragged me down the football field at Oceana, refusing to come down.
All my love to the family and friends he is missed.
I’ve known Tommy since the days that he worked at Willey’s Sporting Goods in the Princess Anne Plaza and i’ve always enjoyed dropping in his and Judy’s shop to say “Hi”. Tommy is a legend in the sports community here and i will miss his quick smile and kind demeanor. Our hearts go out to Judy and all Tommy’s friends. He was a great guy.

Judy, Chuck and Ken, I am so sorry for your loss. Tommy “Ace” as he was known on the baseball field was a one-of-a-kind ball player. I enjoyed watching him play when I was a teenager and later playing softball on the same team at Willey’s Sporting Goods. Tommy was the first employee my dad hired at the store. He was a great person and friend to so many folks in the community. You all are in our prayers,
I could not believe this news! My heart aches for you, Debra, and your children. You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
We are so sorry to hear about Tom. I will miss his smile passing you both on your morning walks in the neighborhood. Our condolences and thoughts are with you and your family.
Dan and Susan Roberts
Tommy “ACE” Atkinson & I were brothers by different mothers! He was the greatest /best all around ball player ever out of the Va. Beach area! It didn’t matter football, basketball , baseball , softball you were, “The Man”! Ace rest in peace & I know you are with Carl & Edna playing ball, eating gravy biscuits! You will be truly missed! LOL
brother! The Baker Boyz’s Danny aka “Shakenbake” & Ricky!
Im so sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
May you memories of her illuminate you.
Sue and Family….you have my deepest condolences in the passing of your lovely mom. I so enjoyed meeting and talking with her on the different occasions. I could feel the love that she had for her children through her stories and how proud she was of you.
Love to you,
Tammy Alfonsi

I remember playing baseball in his yard on Bray Road back in the 60’s. We had a blast on our Vegas softball tournament in 84 with great teammates. Tommy’s infectious smile and laugh will always be with me. A brother gone way too soon.

Wilda and I would like to offer our condolences to Dean. He was always a joker with me and a big teddy bear. He liked to hang out with us Navy guys occasionally as well. Especially the parties… We did not keep in touch unfortunately but we enjoyed running into him when visiting his Mom and Dad in Va Beach! Time goes by too fast and his life was cut way too short. Rest in peace my friend!! Chuck (goober) & Wilda Nedley
My mom “Marla” loved seeing her cousins and Patrick was a great representation of why she enjoyed those visits so much. His friendly smile and conversation always welcomed you into his presence.
Our family is always with us in our hearts and memories.
God Bless to the Family,
James
Jim was the kindest must gentle man. He was the best brother in law I could have ever wished for. He will be in my heart always.
I always enjoyed going to visit Jim each year and going crabbing with him. It was a great time, the crabs were so yummy, and Jim was always a joy to spend time with.
Jim was so precious to our family. He will greatly missed
Sending prayers and hugs during this difficult time.
For the man who taught me how to catch crab! Those memories are some of my favorite and will forever be cherished. Love you, Jim!
I am Steve Hutchens’ sister-in-law & I am very sorry for your loss. I know Steve will miss him so much but glad he has so many years of good memories to reflect on. Prayers going out to your family.
Our thoughts and prayers to Jaqueita and Jim’s extended family during this time.
Grandma, you will be loved and missed;b forever. I have so many wonderful memories that warm my heart just thinking about them. I feel comfort in knowing you are up in heaven, free of any pain, and saying hello to old friends and loved ones. I know one day we will all be together again and that will be a glorious day up in heaven. For now we have all of these wonderful memories that you’ve left for so many people. I cherished the first 2 wheel bike you had gotten me for my birthday I believe. It was red, had a banana seat, horn, you name it…..I loved that bike and drove it everywhere. Until the training wheels fell off!! I remember the late night card games that were so much fun! I remember the 74 white Monty Carlo, what a tank!! At one time or another we were all in Farmingdale (where I still am after all these years). Whether it was Birthday parties, picnics, card games, bbq’s, softball games, bowling, holiday times, we did so many special things as a family, even going to the amusement parks, we always had a blast and so much fun. I am very saddened to hear that you have passed, but I do take comfort knowing your up in heaven with Jesus now. To my entire family, I am sending you all of my love, thoughts, prayers, condolences and lots of positive energy during this difficult and sad time. I love each and everyone of you and pray you all find comfort. I have a million memories floating around in my mind, but the ones that really make me smile and the ones with so much laughter!! We could be in the middle of a card game and then all of a sudden everyone would just start laughing with tears flowing from their eyes. I can remember Gary and I absolutely loving Star Wars, Legos, and then came the commodore 64 etc. Those were fun times I’ll never forget. I remember Uncle Hank coming home from the Navy and hiding in my pantry kitchen closet at Weiden St while Grandma and my Mom waited for me to open the door, and the SURPRISE!!! That was awesome. Aunt Sue being the funnest Aunt ever, who ALWAYS did right by me and my brothers. I will never forget any of these memories. And I truly love you all!! My Mom, what can I say, if it weren’t for her unwavering love for her kids, I would not be the man I am today. So thank you Mom, I love you. The bottom line is without Grandma none of this big beautiful family would even exist. So I’d like to thank you once again Grandma for being so kind, loving, and teaching us all very valuable lessons in life that we all can use to this day. I love you Grandma, I’ll miss you, we all will, and knowing you’re comforted up in heaven brings my heart a little peace.
Until we meet again Grandma, rest easy, rest in peace and always know you are and forever will be loved more than you could ever imagine. Love you!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Jaquita, May Jim’s loving memory remain with you always. Much love to you & the family.
I have so many memories of times spent with the family. They are all so special I cannot pick just one, but I do remember how kind and loving Ann and David were. They will always hold a special place in my heart and my childhood as Rachel and I were good friends and went to each others slumber parties all the time. These are the memories I will always hold close and dear to my heart and soul.
Worked with Pat many years at NTF. Always a good technician and Shift Leader. Sorry to hear of his passing.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. I knew him many years ago while he attended St Vincent’s along with his brother, Greg.
I will keep the family in my prayers especially at this time of year.
The Tworek family, who lived next to the Millers for many years, send heart felt condolences to Mr. Miller, John and “J”. Ann was a very special person. It was a honor to have known her. May God bless you all. Cathy, Laura, Margaret and Charlotte.
I am so sorry to hear of Pat’ passing. I had the pleasure of working with Pat for a few years at NASA. He will surely be missed by many.
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Seinfield – I can’t seem to remember her name, but it rhymes…….
I love you Mom – even before I met your daughter, I considered you a superstar. I will be looking for you above, spitting nickels and being the brightest light in the sky. Keep an eye us will ya?!
Without you Grandma, I wouldn’t have existed in this world. You are with the Angels now and I can only imagine you immersed in peace, warmth, and surrounded by everyone you missed while here on Earth. All of them are joyous to see you while us down here are saddened by your passing on. I love you so much Grandma and will continue to speak to you from time to time, reminded of you from time to time, but in my heart always. My prayers go out to my Mom, my Uncle Hank, my Aunt Sue, and my Uncle Gary. And may those prayers resonate throughout the branches of the tree that Grandma had such a major part in planting. Rest in heavenly peace Grandma.
DJ and Adrian Joy (Addie) sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers for you and all your family. Love you guys very much
So sorry for your loss.
Jim was a very special man to us and will forever be in our hearts. He will truly be missed. With love…
I got to know Jimmy in the early 80’s when I joined one of his other passions – “The Original Baseball Draft”. He was wonderful friend and commissioner of the league where some of his highlights were being featured on the Hampton Roads Show and feature articles in the Virginia Pilot touting that he was the first to create such a draft. I will miss Jimmy. Thoughts and prayers to all of his family.
Jimmy was such a nice and thoughtful classmate of the 1962 NNHS class. I’m proud to have been one of his friends.
Ann was a dear childhood friend! We enjoyed playing Chinese jump rope, Play Doh, Barbies, hanging out in her brother Mikes’s tree house & double dating! Our friendship continued thru High School until I moved away & we lost touch…I will cherish the warm memories & Ann is surely resting in peace now w/ the Good Lord!
Debbie
So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. You and your family are in our prayers.
Cousin Dan
Jimmy and I were Best Friends, he guided me through life, he was my mentor and like a brother to me. So many great memories

Jimmy was such a good guy with more great qualities than almost anyone I had the pleasure to know for over 50-years. Condolences to Jaqueita, love of his life. God rest his soul to infinity,
Pat was a good friend and helped me numerous times. He’s gone to soon,rest in peace.
Please accept my condolences. Although I did not know Andrea, I can tell she made the people around her happy, and was a happy soul herself. God has received a special Angel.
My heart is so full of sorrow at your passing, A peace of me is gone, a peace I didn’t expect to loose so soon.
May you rest in peace beautiful girl.
Andrea was such a lovely daughter, mother and wife. She will be missed by so many. Prayers to the entire family. My heart just hurts for all.
Andrea’s reach was far and wide. I remember spending time with her and Joe when I was a server at Bayside. She was always SO friendly and kind, and she spread endless laughter to everyone around her. People beamed when when they saw her and loved to talk with her and spend time with her. She was always in tune with what was going on and would take the time to inquire about everyone’s life. I remember her celebrating the wins of the people she loved and sharing in their sadness. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. She is beloved by the community and will be missed dearly. ❤️ Sending condolences to everyone affected by this great loss.
Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow.
Love you dad.
She was an amazing woman and will be so greatly missed. 💜
Bailey, I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing your mom, but I’m sure she was a special person because she raised an amazing human being. Wishing you peace and comfort during this unimaginable time.”
To my friend Bailey and her Family in your hour of grief: You’re in my prayers and heart. May the light of God shine down and guide you through this darkness.
I am so sorry to hear the loss of Jim. I worked at the NN Fire Dept and Trophy World for many years with him.
I grew up with Andrea in Loda. Since hearing of her passing, I have thought of many memories with her. I will always remember her smile. It was perfect and infectious. While we remained friends only through social media, every time I saw a photo of her I smiled because she hadn’t changed one bit..still smiling and still cute as can be. My heart goes out to her family and friends, because I know there is sadness and pain with her passing. May your memories of Andrea get you through this difficult time.
Michelle
Miss Linda and I attended Elvaton Baptist Church together. She was so sweet. My condolences on o the family.
Fran, if my circumstances were different I’d be right there to give you a big hug. I’m so sorry about Larry’s passing. Condolences to the entire family.
Our hearts and prayers to you Bailey and your family for your loss. She was a beautiful soul. 😇🫶🏻
Wishing you peace during this sad and difficult time…
Dick and Julie so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

May your light shine brighter upon us until we meet again. xo

Blessed that we were able to share many laughs together. May your smile and laugh, keep us smiling.
My sweet niece Andrea was so Beautiful, giving, loving, and genuinely Happy :). No matter the time of day, I could call and chat and we would laugh at the silliest things… she said Aunt Mary, “Do you remember when Ryann had to ride in grandpa Milton Mitchell’s blue paint van? She hated that van it was so dirty and it was so messy and cluttered and she always asked grandpa Milton why he never clean that van out?” Andrea I do remember…. you and I just laughed because Grandpa Milton could not believe Ryann would refuse to ride in it until he cleaned it out…. Only WE GOT STUCK CLEANING IT, while Grandpa Milton and Ryann went in the house and had Lemonade and Watermelon! Hahaha. Oh my GAWD you can’t be far away from us Andy…. You just have to come back in our dreams, I can see you in my thoughts and prayers, this just can’t be real, I don’t know why you had to go so sQQn ?? you will always be in my thoughts and forever in my heart! I love you Sweet Girl! Take care of the Grands til I see you again Tweety!
Prayers for Comfort and Peace! Her smile was contagious! We sure had a lot of fun on swim team and growing up in Paxton!

Weatherford, TX
Andrea was not just “a cousin”. She was my best friend, like a sister growing up. Andrea added sparkle and positive energy to EVERYTHING!!! We got into some mischief along the way together, lol -but mostly just hilarious, often clutzy times!!! I will miss her spunk, fire, sense of humor, and ability to love beyond all boundaries!!! Fly high Andrea
Dick, Dee, Ryann, Joe and Bailey,
My memories of Andrea are of our days growing up in Loda and then later working for Dick at the Country Club and occasionally babysitting for Kacie and Ryann. Andrea and I became friends and her sweet face, contagious laugh and overall joy for life is what I remember most. Luckily, we reconnected via Facebook and this is what I noticed: she was an EXCELLENT mom. You could feel the love she had for her daughter through the pictures she posted. Bailey, we don’t know each other but my heart is shattered for you.., if there’s any comfort, any at all, perhaps it’s knowing that you are and were loved by your incredible mom and she will forever be with you in all you do. From a mother’s perspective, I know complete and unconditional love when I see it and it’s all I see when I saw pictures of the two of you. Joe, again, I don’t know you but I see her smile in all the photos of the two of you and all I see is love. How lucky you two were to have found each other. Im so sorry your love story was interrupted by this tragedy. Dick, Dee and Ryann, I am so sorry for your loss. Sisters are the best and Ryann, I’m so sorry you have to say goodbye to Andrea. Dick and Dee—there are no words. Sending you all prayers for peace I’m the midst of this terrible loss.
Jaqueita, I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your dear Jim. In the short time that I knew him, it was evident that he was the love of your life, and you were the love of his life. Hs was so kind to always dance with me (and any other single ladies without dates) at the Riverside Christmas parties, and I will never forget his kindness in passing on tickets he received to the B-52’s so I could go to their concert one summer to relieve a little pre-wedding stress by dancing in the aisles to “Love Shack”. Jim was a truly kind man who will be greatly missed and mourned by many. I have thought of you both many times over the years and wondered if you were still in Hampton…my sincerest condolences and much love. Karen Haskett

Andrea was my son Corbin’s first love. Andrea and Corbin were best friends when they were very young 2 years to 7 years. Corbin called her “my Andrea”. Fond memories.
Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you, Jaqueita and your family at this difficult time.
I’m so very sorry. I will miss hearing her voice and seeing her smile. She was a bright light.
I didn’t know Andrea as well as I know Joe but once I met her I knew that she was the kind of person you never forget meeting. She was a beautiful gentle soul and she truly was Joe’s soulmate and they were the perfect couple. She will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and it truly was my honor to have known her. You will be sorely missed and my prayers go out to Joe and the rest of the family.

My sister and I started rescuing dogs from kill shelters and off chains a few years ago. We don’t have a facility so the pups we rescued had to have a safe place to land once we got them. Andrea and Joe were the very first foster family when we began this endeavor. They opened their homes and hearts to these neglected souls and made them whole again while we put them up for adoption. Every time we would text Andrea a pic of our newest rescue , she would always text back “bring him/her to mama”. Cam, their current pup was a foster fail and I remember the night I dropped him off with jason and he said “yeah, you’re never coming back here to get that dog”.
Andrea had the biggest heart and was one of the most generous people I have ever met. She used her voice for the voiceless and it was always such a pleasure working with her. The world will never be the same without her …I’m honored I had the chance to know her!
My deepest condolences to her family and friends. Thinking of you all.
I just discovered the passing of Jerry today. I have many fond memories of him. He often came to Nyssa to spend time with his grandparents Fred and Alice Savage, who were my great aunt and uncle. Please accept my condolence.
Thinking of you all during this time. Brenda was vibrant and fiercely loved her family. Her presence in a room was always heard and bright. She had a great sense of humor. She never let me forget that I was the cousin that screamed during her wedding and I will forever smile when those memories fly back to me. May she rest in peace ❤
We are so sorry for your loss. Brenda was An amazing wife, sister, mother and Mimi. She loved you all so very much! She was an amazing lady that always showed up no matter what for her family and friends. There are no words to describe just how much she will be missed by everyone. I know she is watching over all of us and will be guiding those babies through life that she treasured so dearly. Big hugs to you all!
Lin and I were friends since elementary school and played in the Norview High School band together. We had much in common and had many fascinating conversations and get togethers on a wide range of subjects. I will greatly miss him. Stan Ross .
You will be missed more then you know. You are so LOVED ♥️ Rest in peace my sweet friend.
Our thought and prayers are all of Brenda’s family and friends..she will surely be missed!
With love,
The Greenough Family
I never met Brenda, but her daughter was my son’s first grade teacher. I’m praying for her family.
Brenda was an amazing woman. She always made you feel welcome. She was patient, kind, funny and loving. Her love for her family was so strong. I admired her. Brenda started off as my boss, but over the years she became a dear friend and then family. She will be missed more than I can express. But I know she will be watching over her family and friends, especially her grand babies. My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this time.
Miss you so much already!!
Nick, Jess, Lee, Lexi and Aiden
I am so sorry about this ! She will be missed by so many !
Great carver. We have several of his duck decoys.
Brenda was like no other! She never met a stranger! Everyone was important to her and she truly meant it when she asked “how are you doing!” She took time to make sure she said hello and caught up with you when you saw her at family functions. She was kind hearted! Loved her grand babies like no other! She made the best regardless of how she was feeling!
My condolences to WC for losing his soul mate too soon, To Robbie and Kayleen for losing their mother at a young age! For Will who will only know her love through her memories, for Evie and Grady who have lost their Mimi at such a young age! And for the entire family for their loss! May there be some kind of comfort in her memory, peace knowing she is no longer suffering and may you be surrounded with the love of family today, tomorrow and always know that you are never alone!
Love – Crystal Matthews
She will be truly missed, love you guys.
So very sorry for your families loss. Sending love and prayers.
Many great memories of Larry as a co-workee and most important a close friend. Sympathy to his family.

My sweet friend Andrea, I will miss you in my everyday life. VBASC won’t be the same without you! Joe & family I wish you all love & healing as you navigate the future. ❤️
I remember when we lived in Redondo Beach and Larry took all the Christmas candy in the dish on the coffee table. The evidence was in his robe pocket. When mom called him out, he said the candy must have crawled into the hole in his pocket. Better moms wrath on him than me😊 So sad to think that my older brother is no longer on this earth. He is so lucky to be with our dad in heaven
I was so blessed to have you in my life for as long as I did. I miss you & love you Dad!
So sad to hear about Nickey’s passing. She was a real go-getter and packed a lot into her life. She obviously made service for others her priority. I am sure that there are many in her immediate orbit who will greatly miss her. She was a good, kindhearted person with lots of energy and focus to devote to raising up and supporting others.
So sorry my thoughts and prayers are with you all

Sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I met him when I used to hang out with his son,
Steve, who was and is one of my best friends. Bill was a very personable guy and very much a creative person, making crafts and objects you would usually find in stores. He was very easy to get along with and even later in life was very much a free spirit. I remember he used to ride his bike to work, in all kinds of weather, and grabbed hold, with both hands, of whatever caught his interest. I remember seeing that tendency in Steve as anything he did, he wanted to be the best. He tolerated me in my teen years and was always accepting of Steve and me in playing ping pong in his garage. He was good at what he did and I appreciated him telling me, with great enthusiasm, the intricacies of what he discovered. He was a great guy and I’ll miss him
Tommy Atkinson was such a great guy and will be missed by so many. The VA Legends organization sends our deepest condolences to Judy and his family!

funniest person I’ve ever met. life could be crumbling down around us and he’d make it funny
So very sorry to hear of my neighbor Mr. Pike’s passing. My condolences to Mrs. Pike and the family. What a wonderful & kind person Mr. Pike was. He always had a friendly hello when we crossed paths & would share a story or two before we’d part ways in our driveways. He will be missed. What a great neighbor & person.
Tommy, you surely will be missed but I know you are in a better place now looking down on us. Not only were you a good friend and neighbor, but you left me many fond childhood memories playing football in front of your house as well as playing pool in your parent’s garage. It was also great building the 9th grade First Colonial High School Homecoming Float. Keith Ellis
My heart will always hold a special place for Miss Boo & Mr. Bill for all the love & support they have given to Braiden & I. She will be missed, loved & cherished. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. My love and condolences to the family.

My Deepest sympathy to all her family especially Bill. I’ll miss our conversations. Rest in peace Muriel, Jim
My heart is breaking for you and your family. May God bring you all solace and peace of mind.
To my sister, when I found out, I was soooooo sad, but then I thought about how you gave your heart to Jesus, so by the grace of GOD, I know you are in Heaven, and someday I will see you again, and ONLY by the grace of GOD I can go on, Love you and miss you sooooooo much, you little Brother “G”
One of the most amazing women I have ever known
My sincere condolences to the entire family. So very sad for you and your loss.
While I haven’t see her in years, she has made such a huge impact on my life in a positive way. To say she has lived her very best life, would be an understatement and I have always admired that. The world is at a loss but Heaven sure did gain an angel❤️
Everyone at Cavalier Sportswear was saddened to hear about the passing of long time friend Tommy Atkinson. His enthusiastic greetings when he stopped by will be greatly missed and always treasured.

John was a friendly, faithful friend to many many people, as well as a leader in his churches and a teacher. He led a Disciple group that I took a few years ago. He will be missed.
Before I ever met Boo, my father-in-law told me she was a pistol. As it turns out, he was being very kind. To me, she was a 4 barrel shotgun! Full of spunk and sass and with her raspy voice would offer her opinion whether you asked for it or not. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more straightforward person. I feel honored to be accepted into her heart and family with open arms. Our world seems empty without her. I will sorely miss her.
And If there is a Fudruckers in heaven…. I’ll never hear the end of it when I get there.
He was an amazing young man taken from us way to soon as well as a beautiful queen to watch entertain. He was loved by many and will never be forgotten…
I never got to meet Craig, but I know he was a wonderful man and husband. He will truly be missed.
My heart goes out to you. I hope you know how much he was loved as you are
You are in my heart…i am so sorry..i am honestly at a loss for words😥
I feel your pain. I am sorry for your loss.
My kids father has stage 3 & I worry everyday.
Stay strong it’s going to be weird not seeing him but you will always feel his presence around you, so know he is always with you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙
I am truly blessed to have such an awesome extended family and Boo was definitely the matriarch. She intimidated me when I first met her, but it didn’t take long to learn what a caring, loving and generous women she was. I loved coming up to visit and being a part of the loud, crazy and delicious Sunday dinners. She made the best pot roast I have ever had. We are all going to miss her tremendously and my heart aches for her family, such a sad time. Keeping you all in my prayers.
it has been an honor to be part of your light show ✨️
Craig was a talented, fun loving, caring young man who was taken way too soon. He was my son-in-law but I loved him as a Son and I Miss him and Love him so much. My heart is forever broken. RIP my Beloved Craig & we will see each other again one day soon. 💔
Craig will live on in our hearts.

Such a beautiful obituary. 37th & Zen was the first place I hung out in Hampton Roads when I moved here. I remember the laughter & jokes from the front of the house to the back. Especially when Noelia would joke around with Gillette & Craig, such a beautiful place with such beautiful people. He will be missed. May God continue to shed love and light over your family. To Noelia, The 37th & Zen Family & The Lyon Family I give my most sincere condolences ❤️
You will be in our thoughts. We are so saddened to learn of your beloved husband’s passing. We hope you find peace and comfort knowing that heaven has gained another angel.

sorry for your lost, His was a wonderful human being.
With all my love and all my prayers, I will keep Craig in my mind always and forever. I am sorry that he had to go so soon but I am grateful for having the pleasure to know him and that Jason had the pleasure to call him soulmate. Rest easy Angel.
I have so many good memories of Keith. Myself and some friends of mine would crash his campground when the family had a chance to get away and relax. Keith was a kind soul. He was friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor. When I think back on those days and him, all I can do is smile. You will be truly missed as you were truly loved. Live in peace my friend ❤️ Judi Hoppel
I only met Jodi twice. I served in Africa with her brother Evan (Jewel). Each time I was around her I came away saying, I would love to have spent more time with Jodi and Tim. She was “classy” like her mom (Cleo) and loved life like her dad (Gene). It was a high humbling honor to get to be with her even if it was brief. She left and impact on me and certainly a legacy for her family. My you find comfort and peace under the King’s Wings,
So sorry for your loss
To my sweet cousin, in whom heaven now rejoices. Here we mourn – but you are Home at last, Jodi, and your faithful service is now rewarded. Amen and amen!
An amazing tribute to an amazing woman
Sending so much love and light. ❤️
i miss you
Jason, Betsy, Aretas and families, our hearts go out to you all. Craig fought a good fight to the end. He is free of any pain and suffering and is an angel above. May all your wonderful memories see you all through this difficult time. Craig may be gone, but will not be forgotten.
I am so thankful to have known Jodi and the Ziemer family. I have fond memories of her singing at church, being in Bible study with her at New Covenant PCA in Virginia Beach, playing racquet ball at the rec center, and many other activities over the years! She was an amazing example of a Godly wife and mother, and she will be greatly missed.
We loved Craig and we still do and we are thinking about you and your family Jason we are just heartbroken over this 💔
A friend in VA just informed us of Jodi’s passing. We knew you at McLean in the Sunday school class Hugh taught. I loved talking to Jodi about gardening and became a master gardener when we returned to CO a few years ago. Jim and I offer our condolences to all of your family.

Dear Kathy, Christian, Alex and families,
I was so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I have such fond memories as a kid of visiting Mimi and Pap and spending time across the street at the Case manor😊 John was a cooler older cousin, and Kathy, the loving relationship you two had did not go unnoticed.
I pray that you will find peace in the wonderful memories of him, knowing that he was a true and faithful servant of the Lord, and that he is whole again in his heavenly home.
Much love,
Jennifer McDaniel Crews

In my heart, I knew he had passed, but just didn’t want to believe it. I miss him every day.
We are so very sorry for your sudden loss. Through the years, at different life events of Justin’s and Kyles, John and I were blessed to talk with your mom and dad.

May you find peace and comfort knowing she is in her Father’s arms today. Much love,Cindy and John Griffin

Dear Peter,
I am so sorry that you lost your dear wife, and I am also sorry that I missed her memorial service. Had I known about it sooner, I would have been there.
You might know that I too lost my wife suddenly not long before I joined VWS, about twenty years ago. Even now there are times I pine for Ellen. So I have a good idea of the grief you are going through, and you have my heartfelt sympathy.
I’m so tempted to give you helpful advice, but I will just say that if you want to talk to me about anything, I would be happy to share my experiences.
Again, please accept my sincere condolences.
Andre Paquette
Diana and I were shocked and extremely saddened to learn of Jodi’s passing. We have so many fond memories of our time together during our tour with Sixth Fleet. Her presence brightened any room. May she rest in peace. Sincere condolences to you and your family, Tim. Gordon and Diana
Although I’ve been away from the area for almost 10 years, I will always remember her sweet smile, love of family and her kind heart. I am truly sorry for your loss as I know this leaves a hole in your heart. Cherish those beautiful memories and lean on the as you grieve.
John, you and I worked together every working day for over 32 years.I will forever miss your support, wisdom, compassion and work ethic. You were not only a partner but a great friend as well. My sincerest sympathies to all of your family and friends.
I am holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
To the family of Tommy Atkinson,
Tommy and Ricky grew up together.
Tommy supplied uniforms for Virginia Beach Little League for decades.
I was with Ricky on some occasions to be in Tommy’s store to meet him.
He is remembered as such a friendly guy with nice manners by me.
I had a card to send, so I will send it to here and hope you get it.
Had just gotten my laptop back…
Ricky met Tommy in Heaven; I am sure.

Kathy and family, I send my condolences to you and family and was a shock when I heard the passing of Keith. In our younger years, Keith and I played together, volunteer fire and rescue, little league baseball, football and many other activities together and our families would gather for meals over the years. I truly remember and think about those times. I send my love and prayers to you and family.
Ed Godwin
It was a great pleasure to meet John and get to know him for the last 23 years. He was a fine example of the type of gentleman and person all of us should strive to be more like.
As Christians, we are asked to reflect the face of Christ. John succeeded in this where many of us fall short.
Sorry for you loss.Frank will be greatly missed.
My prayers are with you and your family, Kathy. John was a wonderful man who loved you dearly. You two had a special relationship blessed by God. God bless you, my friend.
Dear Tim,
I am so very sorry. May Jesus surround you and your family with comfort as only He can.
Grieving with you,

I love you mom.. I will miss you with all my heart.. Say hi to dad.. Love, Sherri
Love you, mom. Happy to know you are no longer struggling. Peace is finally yours. We’ll miss you.
Just knowing you are no longer with us makes me sad, but knowing who is joining you makes me happy. Fly high and look down on us often. I can remember when I wasn’t even a teenager you took me to Taco Bell during the summers when I visited. You always made sure I had the best time when I came to visit from North Carolina. Memories are all we have but they are great memories.
Love you my dear sister Karen. You will be forever missed.
Our kind condolences to the James Camp family and friends of the loss of your loving sister and friend.

Emily & family- It was an honor to get to know Nancy in the 90’s. My favorite shift was when your mother and I would work together and laugh. She talked about her family and loved all of you so much. What a blessing for me to get the opportunity, even for just a few years, to be her friend. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
Nancy – you were a kind and loving soul. I will miss you. My sincerest condolances to Nancy’s family.

My heart breaks for everyone who had the privilege of knowing her and experiencing the love she gave to us all, she was an amazing person. I’ve known her most of my life and I’m thankful she continued to love me even with the circumstances. One of my favorite memories with her is when we went to Graceland. She was like a kid in the candy store, eyes big and she had the biggest smile for the whole trip, she had always wanted to go and I’m so thankful that we could take her. I will miss her dearly and carry her in my heart as long as I live. RIP until we see each other again, I love you Dearly!
I am so sorry to hear ofhis passing He was a great guy as I am sure you all know. I had the pleasure of working with him on the Credit Union Board for many years. He also helped me while I was working at the Sheriff’s Office with a paper for college pertaining to computers. He was my guru in that department. May your many memories help in the days ahead to keep him close to your heart.
Patti my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
I met Linda when she invited me to her bible study class and then invited me to attend her church

During my career with the City of Hampton Parks and Recreation, I had the opportunity.to work with and know Bunny. He was a good heated and down to earth man. He did a lot for adult softball in our area during his life and we are grateful for his contributions. John you are a good Man, as you join your family members in heaven.
I hope the angels have a special batter’s box, just for you.

Sally, you were the oldest sister and you watched over us liked you promised mama!!! I love you and I will miss you dearly
Nancy will be missed for many reasons, but especially because she was such a contributor to the Chesopeian Colony neighborhood.
Andy was a good friend to those of us in the Fire Department. On too many occasions he looked out for our welfare. It was an honor to know him.
Sincere condolences. Many fond memories of Bruce and Jan.
Steph, I appreciate the updates you kept me informed of with both Bruce and Jan.
Though I actually never met Bruce physically, we would have lengthy phone conver-
sations, so I felt like I had known him for years. I know Jan is ready to welcome him
home with open arms. Comfort and love to you all,
Trina
My condolences to you and your family. God Bless!!
Words can’t describe how truly sorry I am for your loss. She had a heart of gold. I will sincerely miss her.

Rest in Peace
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our family is sad for your loss.
I did not know Bob outside of sitting behind him and his lovely wife at Galilee church. We always spoke and passed the peace and I watched his love and affection for his wife. Always smiling and happy and very warm to all around him. Peace be with his family and I will miss seeing him sitting in front of me at church. Blessings, annie alberi
Sue and family,

Thinking of you guys ❤️
Always in our heart’s grandpa, never forgotten! Give grandma my love and the biggest hug ever. Watch over my family and guide them with your light ✨️ I love you.
Bruce and Jan were great neighbors in our West Neck community of Carrollton. We often walk around our neighborhood which affords us the opportunity to meet and greet our old and new neighbors and We soon discovered they had a love for flowers and dogs. Bruce always had a great smile that he offered to all who passed by their house. One individual mentioned in his obituary that was published in The Pilot that Bruce loved to cut his grass and keep a shipshape house and garden and we can attest to that. My wife, also named Jan quickly added the Brewsters to her cookie list. We were sad when Bruce told us of Jan’s passing in 2021. They will both be missed and wish the best for their families. Our deepest condolences to all!
Our condolences to the Neuhofer family. Josef and Betty Faye’s kindness and generosity will always be remembered in our hearts.
My deepest condolences to you and your family during this time. No amount of words can express the pain that you are going through. Sending you love and prayers and hope you are able to find strength during this difficult time.
Me and my family are sorry for your loss.
Looks to me like Mr Bruce Brewster Lead a Full Life.
Quartermaster/Navigator means he Lead the Ship.
Howard, My Condolences and Sorry for your Loss.
Pat and Bobby express our sympathy to Bonnie and Jeff and the Neuhofer family on the passing of Betty. We lived next door to them for many years. They were all a pleasure to be around.

I was so sad to hear of your loss. It is comforting to know your Dad spent his last weeks at home surrounded by family. Sending my positive thoughts and sincerest condolences to you and your entire family during these difficult times.
RICHARD,
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU LOSS. WE WILL ALL MISS HER KINDNESS AND HER HUMOROUS WIT.. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE AND BE WITH HER BELOVED CHILDREN ONCE AGAIN.
To the family of Karen. Please know that Karen will be missed. Soon Karen’s hope in Jehovah’s promise of an earth that is a paradise will be realized. Free from sickness, death and suffering. I, too, look forward to that day and look forward to seeing her again, healthy and full of energy. Please take comfort in knowing that Jehovah misses her too and longs for the time he will bring her back to life. May he comfort and support you during this difficult time.
Christian and Laura, we wanted to express our condolences to you and the Case family on the passing of your father. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in your memories and in your faith.
Sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I worked with him at the Post Office and saw him many times, during the years, working on his yard, as I was delivering mail. Sorry for your loss.
I remember that Betty was kind and thoughtful. She invited me to play in her
bridge group that was a Plaser group, even though I was an inexperienced player.
She also took me to an opera performance soon after my first husband past away.
We often met at The Sunrise Cafe for Eggs Benedict.
I will miss my dear friend so very much.
Rest easy big guy! Miss you already.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May loving memories bring you peace and strength in the days ahead.
I worked with Galen in the 80s at the flight detachment at Fort Eustis. He always had a serious look on his face whenever we had contact with each other. It was a challenge to try to get him to smile and occasionally he would. I was even privileged to enjoy some super bowl parties with Connie and him, but over the years drifted apart. He was a good man and I am sure he will be missed by family and friends.
Boo is going to be truly missed by many but memories of her are truly treasures. Heaven will never be the same!
You are in our hearts and prayers during this sad time and always.
Love, Aunt Betty and Uncle Steve
Connie and family,
Galen was a wonderful man. We appreciated all the time and encouragement he gave us as we lived near. Praying for you and your family during this time.

I have known Betty for about 50 years. We have had some wonderful times together and she will be deeply missed
Hey, this “POP” miss and think about ya everyday! Dad.
So sorry to hear the news of your Mother’s passing. You managed the complicated care for her, so selflessly, during these last tough months. Her trial is over and may you all find joy in fond memories of the true character that she was! She was so proud of her family, as she had so much to be proud of. Sue – you were the best daughter -ever, even under unimaginable circumstances. Our thoughts are with you – Christy & Tom

His presence was always a welcome sight at the Naro Video Store. Mr. Hoy was one of the friendliest people I ever knew.
My sister (Joanne Lee) was one of Lois’ closest friends, and I also knew Lois for many years. She was a wonderful person, so cheerful and funny. I loved her sense of humor, and it was always a pleasure to spend time with her. My sincere condolences go out to Lois’ family.
As a neighbor and friend of Karen and Gil’s for the last 6 years of his life, I had no idea of his many extraordinary accomplishments. I knew Gil as a kind, friendly gentleman who always had a smile and a warm greeting for me. My sincere condolences go out to Karen and to the family.
Sending much love and feeling confident that God is surrounding you all with His comfort.
Karen,
Your obituary is beautifully written.
I will miss my dad every day for the rest of my life. His love for me will continue to be a comfort.
Paul and I were very saddened by Bill’s passing. Going through memory lane, we remembered many wonderful times together like Superbowl Sundays, games, Chicago dinners and all the laughter!
A fabulous man and trusted friend.

I am so sorry to hear about Bill’s unexpected death. I have many happy memories about working with Bill as a colleague at Northwestern University, and later in my tenure there, reporting to him when he rose to VPSA.

I send condolences to his family and especially to his wife Lynn, whom I remember with affection and admiration.

We love you!! And will be greatly missed by us!!
It is with deep sadness that my sister, Dianna O. Boden, born September 17, 1950, passed away early Thursday morning, 26 January 2023 at the age of 72.
As she wanted, she died peacefully in her home with her family and caretaker Betty Hale with her. She had spent the last few days surrounded by the love of all of us and mostly her sincere friend and sister-in-law Christine Williams.
Dianna is predeceased in death by her husband, Bruce Boden, her son, Brian Boden, her mother Disa Williams along with her brother in Iceland, Eyvi.
Dianna is survived by her father Myral (Willie) Williams, her children, Chris Seay and Lisa Boden and their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, her surviving siblings include Andy Williams, Siggi Williams (Christine), Duna Williams (Charles) and Donna Mortensen (Dave) along with many nieces and nephews along with her sister and brother in Iceland.
Dianna returned to her childhood hometown of Hampton Virginia a few years ago to be around her hometown family and friends. She had many health struggles, but she was always so creative like her mother, of course me and my younger sister, Donna, did not have their creative skills. Even as ill as she was, she was always able to produce so many beautiful crafts such as wreaths, bows, wash cloths and other things.
Dianna will always be remembered for a lot of things, but she always loved her butterflies and chickens in her kitchen and her family near and wide. She is now flying around like a butterfly with all of those that have went before her…..take care of us all Dianna and all of those that you now surround because you are a survior ….R I P our dear sister, you have always been a wonderful and good big sister to us and we will always love you !!
Andy, Siggi, Duna, and Donna
A very sweet lady. Very sorry she has left us.
I just learned of Bob’s passing, one year later! I am so very sorry to hear of this. I helped Bob plan at least 10 reunions in the Hampton Roads area, he used our company for all of them. He and I would always go to lunch and have an elaborate planning session, and I thoroughly enjoyed every interaction with him. He was so kind, and always remembered me with USS Iwo Jima tokens, notebooks, calendars etc., many of which I still have and use. He gave me beautiful framed pictures of the ship, certificates of appreciation, plaques and much more. Bob was a meticulous planner, with strict attention to detail and making sure that his shipmates would have an excellent time on tours and activities. He loved his dogs, and always showed me their pictures. He was a gentle soul and one of the friendliest clients I ever worked with. I counted him as a friend, not just a client. Our lead tour guide, Nancy Baker, also had a very special relationship with Bob and also sends her heartfelt condolences.
Sincerely, Anne Phillips – former President, Phillips Destination Management Services/Discover Coastal Virginia (business closed Jan. 2021)
I love and miss you so much mom. Thank you for everything. I am truly beyond blessed that God gave me his best angel to call mom. There were so many things we still wanted to do, but I know you are watching over me. I hope you are surrounded by beautiful gardens drinking the most heavenly coffee with Bobo surrounded in love and light. Beautiful mom, forever loved, forever missed.💕
I am so desperately sad to learn Bill is no longer with us. And his ability to remain calm amid chaos helped me stay engaged in local politics. His warm memories of his time at Old Dominion University were shared by my father, Dr. Raymond H Kirby, and a comfort as Dad began failing. I was visiting Pittsburgh and had just seen the Carnegie International and the Warhol Museum the weekend before he left us. Not surprised he was from Pittsburgh.
Will Terry and Family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your wife, Will. I know how you will miss her and I pray that the Lord will comfort you as Effie is with him now.
God bless you and give you strength in this sad time.
Worked with Doug at Target from when he started there until 2018 when I left . I was always glad to see that it was Doug running the front of the store or just there as a cashier. He was always smiling and saying things to to lift me up if I was having a bad day. Condolences to his family…
I wanted to share that I have many happy memories of Marge and Jim and the many times they entertained the Kennedys and others in both Marlton and Colington Island. They were most generous with time, and food and drink, and boat rides; Jim always ready to teach us young ones something and Marge always with a laugh and a smile. My husband was Tim Kennedy, who passed away in 2019; my mother-in-law Shirley Kennedy, who passed away this Christmas. They are all together again in heaven, telling stories and making the angels laugh.
I am deeply saddened to hear that Bill passed away. I always looked at him as one of my mentors and the person I could count on for advice and guidance. But more than that he was a friend. I have so many fond memories of Bill’s time here at Northwestern. From career services and then being chosen to lead us all in the division. The moral in Student Affairs was at all-time high. There wasn’t anyone that would not go the extra mile for our students. Bill empowered us and gave us the autonomy to accomplish our dreams.
Bill loved playing with my beard, and I remember for my 20-year anniversary gift he presented me with a razor. We discussed cultural differences and similarities. Under Bill’s leadership we started Kosher food service and he enabled there to be a Jewish fraternity AEPi on campus.
The Jewish sages say:
Who is a person worthy of being honored?
One who Honors others.
Who is a person worthy of respect?
One who respects others.
Who is a person worthy of Love?
One who loves others.
This was Bill Banis
I will miss him dearly. All those that knew him will miss him dearly.
May G-d comfort Lynn, the entire family and all his friends.
With Blessings
Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein
My prayers and deepest sympathy are with Bill’s family. He became a friend of mine while he served in leadership with the VBDC, and what an inspiration he was to so many of us! He was truly a role model and will always be remembered for his warm smile, compassion, and determination. Well done, thy good and faithful servant, Bill. Thank you for all of your volunteer activities and your friendship!
I’m so extremely sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Fuller. He taught me 6th grade science at Blair Middle School and made an everlasting impression. It’s unlikely to remember all the teachers that taught you throughout the years, but now in my mid 30s I still remember him fondly. My prayers and well wishes are with his loved ones.
I was saddened to learn about Bill’s recent passing. He was a wonderful boss and human being for whom I had the good fortune to have worked over five years with Northwestern Career Services. He was supportive, kind, and trusted in his team – all of which my colleagues and I greatly appreciated. I wanted to share my condolences with Lynn and the rest of his family.
Dear Will, I am so sorry for your loss. Effie was a great lady, lots of fun, helpful, and a good friend. I haven’t seen her since VBCF discontinued on the Peninsula but she was a great worker for the Breast Cancer cause. God bless you. She is lovingly remembered.
Sailing once again in Heaven with Uncle Jim. Another beautiful angel watching over us all. Love you so much, Aunt Marge.
Karen;
I will always remember the energy that he brought to the office when working on his projects. His love of music was infectious!
Sending love to you and the family.
Joaquin and Holly Chacon
I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. Isabelle was a dear woman who I felt honored to know. She was vivacious, kind and knew how she wanted to live her life. I wish that your memories will soften her passing. Meredith Rose
It was such an honor to call you friend!
A truly amazing woman. We were so lucky to have you in our lives. You made the very best shortbread and you & Jim both are forever in my heart.
I enjoyed the time with Marge.. and will always remember the books we shared.
I will miss her and glad we got to know each other. She is greatly missed
Love Ruth
We just learned of Carey’s passing and are so sad to hear of it. May she assume her place in the heavens and look down upon her family and her loved ones and give them peace and the strength to enjoy the time that they have in this world. Your neighbors at the back fence
Rest In Peace, Effie.
Deb & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Joan was a lovely woman. You don’t see too many like her anymore. I know that you will all miss her terribly. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Cindy Jenkins & Family
My condolences to the entire family. You have my deepest sympathy and I am praying for your comfort and peace during this difficult time. Sending lots of love your way. I’m here if you need me.
I have some fond memories of your dad.
Love you very much.
Aunt Gail
Stoney and Sandra were my neighbors in Old Nags Head Cove for many years. You could not have nicer neighbors and was so sorry when they moved. People like the both of them are very hard to find. My prayers are with their family. Anna Sadler
I am so sorry for your loss. Carey always welcomed me with open arms at work and taught me so much. I could never thank her enough for her support. I will miss her so much.
Hard to believe she’s gone. Our hearts go out to David and all her family and friends. But we’re sure she enjoying be part of the heavenly chorus.
I did not know Mr. Paddyfoot, but his legacy is carried wonderfully by his son, who was instrumental in the success of both of my children. May he rest in peace, and sincere condolences to the family.
This is Fred’s daughter Dawn. When I last spoke to my father he asked me to do something for him. I need to get in touch with his wife Carolyn about what he asked me to do. Please give her my number 3364915678 thank you
Levi,
In my every thought, you live in my heart. You brought such love, joy and happiness to me for 40 years, I miss you so deeply, I have 40 years of memories to keep close to my heart when I feel the emptiness I close my eyes and see your beautiful smiling face. You had such a zest for life, so laid back and happy, no concept of time, you lived on your clock There are no words to describe how much I miss you. Love you Mom
In memory of Levi Vance Breeton, Mom lit a candle
Carey will be greatly missed. Our hearts are broken. My thoughts and prayers to David and her loved ones. My sincere condolences. ❤️

Miss you Mom. You will always be in my heart.
Missing you
I am so sorry to hear today that Doug passed away. I went in Target today, I haven’t seen him, thinking he took some time off. I finally asked an associate. It broke my heart. I always look forward to seeing him there, either greeting customers or telling them to have a great day as they were leaving. He made such an impression on me. He was so kind and so humble, just a great human being. I will truly miss him, he will be missed by many. I will be thinking of your family. What a loss.
Mr Paddyfoot was like a 2nd father to my brother Josh and I growing up with Jamaine and Chantel in Newark, NJ back in the 80’s and 90’s. We lived one floor above them in the apartment building and he treated us like his own. He and Barbara went out of their way to include us whenever they could. It was all love. I will cherish his memory by doing things he did with us like basketball in the park on weekends, amusement parks and long walks around town. He was witty, charismatic and just a gentle giant of a human being. I’m glad I got a chance to speak to him before he transitioned. He helped shape the man I am today with my family. I know he’s smiling in heaven. Saying ahhh look at “Lewis”. 😌
Miss you mom….. You will always be in my heart….
~ Sherri
Dear Peter and Family,

Sincerely,
Ronald H. Williams, City Treasurer and Staff
Rest in peace big Jim. I will always love you.
You will always be missed Dearest Aunt. Love forever, your niece Anna
I sure do miss you mom, my mama bear. You are forever loved and missed greatly.
No words can fill the space that Carey filled in our hearts, yet her spirit lives on in song in all of us. May her family and loved ones keep the great memories of her close and find comfort in all the ways she impacted our lives.
Jeremy misses you Gigi and so does Ethan. I wish you could have stuck around to see Vivian (my little sister) and sunny (my pet snake). dad is going through troubled times and he misses you too. I love you gigi
Heaven is a bit brighter and more beautiful today with Edna there, painting and smiling and giving everyone more love. My cousin was kind, generous and creative as well as beautiful. I first met her when I was 10, visiting her and her parents in DC. I thought she was a movie star as she had those Elizabeth Taylor long curls that must have taken her mother Cassie hours. We met again in Mount Airy as adults when we celebrated Uncle Joe and Aunt Earline’s wedding anniversary at Grace Moravian Church, built by our grandfather J. A. Tesh. We went exploring together to check out his work. Edna was kind to reach out when Eric moved to CA and put us in touch. He developed a close friendship with my daughter Tracy and is now a close family connection along with Salvador. When Eric and Sal produced To Be Dali’ in LA, Edna and Fred came to help paint scenery and make sure the guys ate. I took them to Chinatown for dinner and we had so much fun together. A few years back when I turned 75, a childhood friend in NC where I was visiting, surprised me by inviting FrEdna to show up to celebrate with me. I will miss the possibility of more happy visits with Edna but will always have a smile when I remember our time together. I hope to see you soon Fred. ❤️
Effie was such a sweet lady, always so nice to me. God bless Will and the rest of her family
It was such a privilege and joy to know Edna. Jon and I enjoyed chatting with both Fred and Edna about Roanoke on many occasions. Her love for her children and devotion to Fred were unparalleled. Her impact on St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will always be remembered. We knew her only a short time, but will treasure the moments we shared.
Ann
Though we separated paths many years ago when we were teenagers, Though you deserved much better than me, I have always held a special place for you in my heart
You fought your battles well without complaint. You will be in my heart forever “Sissy”. Thank you for 25+ years of memories, love and for
being my rock. Cora
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Bobbio. He was a nice and friendly person. My condolences go out to his wife Miss Winnie and his family. May God comfort them during this sad time. He is with God now among the Angels.❤️
Fred and family,
The heavens have a new star named Edna — she’s shining so brightly as she looks down on us. Knowing Edna was truly a blessing. She graced two book clubs and her recommendations were always “spot-on.” Her culinary skills will be missed. I treasure her penned notes which I received after my three knee surgeries and Bob’s diagnosis. It was a gift knowing Edna these past 13 years.
Stephen was my best friend from my teens until I moved from the area in 1985. We reconnected briefly in 1997 when my mother and a good friend of his were in the ICU at the same time. We never connected after that. I have fond memories of growing up and being part of Steve’s family. My condolences to all who grieve his loss as I do.
Edna was not only my sister-in-law but also my best friend. She was amazing and beautiful in so many ways. Living out of town we communicated by email often, and when we were together, it was always a memorable and happy time. I will miss her terribly. Love her forever.
Fred, my sincere condolences to you and your family for your loss.
Ralph, My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Dear Levi – Rest in peace old friend. Hoping your family can find some as well.
miss you my sweet brother ❤️
Happy Valentine’s Day My Sweetheart. I Love U.
You were a 2nd mother to me through my younger years. We share and celebrated our birthday together. My heart is broken and thankful for our love we shared for each other. Fly high and dance with the Angels! I love you forever and always. Tammy, Hawk and Blanton my love and prayers are with you all..,♥️
I worked in law enforcement in Norfolk and unfortunately ran into Mr. Miller on a bad day. He had a troubled life- but we took him to the hospital, and while he sobered up, we had a very nice conversation about his life growing up on a dairy farm in Butler County, PA. I remember to this day he said something very specific- ‘ You will never in your life have a better glass of milk then when the cream is still floating. Noone ever has real fresh milk these days’.
I know that’s not like a touching memory, and I didn’t ever know him personally, but he was a human being that deserved a better life and it made me extremely sad to see that not only he has passed on, but that there was no record of his family. He wasn’t a bad person. He just had problems like the rest of us and I pray he is resting in eternal peace with God.
I love you so much and I really miss you
Fred, our sincere condolences to you and your family. Edna always had a presence about her that exuded grace and kindness. Always quick with a smile and wave as well. She will be missed dearly on Ashwood Drive.
Doug, tell your mom and dad I’ll be there eventually to help Tommy sing! Lesa, prayers for you and the family. Cherish the memories!
Love and prayers for your family and friends! Abbie and Cam my heart thoughts, live and prayers to you! ❤️❤️
Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for you and your family. Please know that I love you.
Sincerely
Donna Stevens

I love you girl. you and I was inseparable for yrs I’ll always cherish our moments forever!!
My deepest condolences for the loss of Jim. He was my first boss out of college and I will never forget his smile and kind nature. A great gentleman.
I miss you Bill. I have been thinking about you everyday. I remember my last call to you when you were on the way to the doctor for an appointment. You said you would call me back. That was the last time I heard your voice. I miss your smile, your jokes, your kindness and everything about you. You have been a dear friend for more than 40 years. Thank you for always being there for me. Tom and I will always cherish our fond memories of our times together. I hope you are resting in peace and without any pain. I know that your passing has left a hole in Lynn’s heart. Your friends, Susan and Tom Mayo
I was so moved by this beautiful tribute. What a rich and inspiring life! My love goes out to you all.
Kay
Dear Jeff, it’s been year’s since I’ve seen you. I am your second cousin. my dad, Harold Dunn. was your grandpa’s brother. I’m so sorry to have learned of your dad’s passing.

I been looking for my sister for many years and I think this lady Dolores D. Stiles who passed on December 26, 2021 is the sister I been looking for. Is is possible that I can get more information? I would appreciate very much if you can contact me at my email: rreyes95135@yahoo.com My sister maiden name was Dolores Diana Parra
Thank you, Rosa Teresa Parra
I did not have the pleasure of meeting Bob, but I know that he made a profound impact on the lives of my sister and brother-in-law, Kathy and Wally Damon, and their children, all of whom loved him dearly. From the stories they shared with me, it is clear that Bob was a gift to this world, and everyone he spent time with were better for it. Clear sailing, Bob, and thank you for all you were to this world!
My dearest and oldest friend, Bob Manges, was born at the VB oceanfront on March 9, 1922, in a cinderblock summer cottage with no electricity, plumbing or water, (there was a pump in the front yard,) along with older brother Clyde and younger sister Valera. He attended W.T. Cooke Elementary School and Oceana High School. On Sept.18, 1939 at the age of 17, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard and on THAT DAY was on a patrol boat and on his way to a ship called the “Modoc” in Wilmington, N.C. Later he attended military Cooks and Bakers School in Groton, Conn. and became an instructor. His pay was $21.00 per month. After WW II started, he became a Chief Petty Officer and was transferred to U.S. Navy Ship “Wakefield”. (if you Youtube “Navy ship Wakefield” you can hear Bob blow into a speaking tube, then calling men to come eat. Bob met Commander (Boxer) Jack Dempsey (Recreational Officer) and they went back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean bringing troops to war beginning with D-Day at Omaha Beach. They also brought German prisoners to Camp Ashby here in Princess Anne County. Married 69 years, Bob had his first date with future wife Nita at Allen’s Grill in Chesapeake Beach. He became a Virginia Beach Volunteer Fireman and eventually Asst. Chief with his friend Bubba Bayne. He went to work for the City of VB as an Electrical Inspector rising to Supervisor, eventually retiring at 87 years old. Yes, 87.
Michelle you will be forever missed I love you sister!! We had some fun!! God bless you!
Dear Winnie & Bobbio Family,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. It was such an honor to share music with Doug a few years ago while I lived in Richmond. Your husband was such a light for me during that time. I am wishing you and your family peace as you navigate through this time.
Sincerely,
Marah Stefanisko
Cecile and I wish to extend our condolence to all that loved and are missing Bob.
We were fortunate to have shared many good times with Bob. He was definitely considered part of our family and was affectionately referred to by many as “Uncle Bob”. We were the beneficiaries of the love Bob extended to so many. There is so much we could say but most of you already know. We do wish to acknowledge and give our thanks to Karen and Rick for all they did for Bob and for allowing us and our entire family to be a part of it. We know Bob appreciated it and we certainly did. We will definitely miss him and always remember him.
Missing you every day
Dear Patti,
Please accept my deepest condolences over the loss of your beloved Richard. It is my great regret not to have known him, but I have never read a more loving and moving tribute to a beautiful, gentle, and much-beloved man. He lived a very, very full life and graced so many with his presence. I am sure that he was blessed by your deep love and devoted companionship, as you so obviously were by his.
With love for you and our entire family,
Cousin Michael Dowling

My sincerest sympathies to Eric’s family! Although I have not spoken to him in a few years, there was a time where he was my mentor for some similar health issues we shared.

Rest in Peace Eric. You will always be remembered as being such a big part of us all growing up together in Sewaren.
My deepest condolences to Eric’s family. Eric was such a great guy. He was funny, knowledable, and above all caring and wanted to hear what you had to say. We worked together during the Theordore Roosevelt RCOH in Newport News Shipyard as well as on the George Bush PIA planning projects. He was always a joy to be around and speak with. He will surely be missed, and I pray that God gives you comfort during this tough time.
Love you grandma <3

My condolence to the family.
With our deepest sympathy we all love you in this time of grief.
My heart shattered when I read of Uncle Bomb’s passing. I truly loved this man with all my heart. I remember a day that he came to the pharmacy and I was stressed. from the register I heard him called “Heya Cupcake”. All the stress of my day instantly was obliterated just from those two words. He could light up my day like no other. My husband and I share condolences to all that know and shared moments, memories, and stories of this truly amazing life.
Sending our love and sympathy to our friend Metin. Another beautiful soul is now up in heaven.
I love you nana & I am praying for you in these tough times.

See you on the other side, friend.
I miss talking to you, I miss your recipes, and, most of all, I miss your sense of humor. I learned from you and you’ll always be in my heart. Love you, my friend.
I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. I was good friends with David back in elementary school and we had a ton of fun together. My most vivid and favorite memory of him was on my 10th birthday when my dad offered to bring me and a friend to Limerock Raceway in western CT for the day. I invited David and when we went to pile into my dad’s old and crusty, but still very cool, MGB convertible, I thought that as the birthday boy I would be sitting up in the coveted front bucket seat. But no, my dad offered that precious perch to David, my friend and our family’s guest. I got the “back” which was nothing more than a hard plank about 6 inches wide carved out between the front seats and the trunk. It was where my father kept his wrenches. With my knees pulled up to my chin, we took off flying west on Route 44 with the top down, the late May sun and wind hitting our faces. At first I pouted and cursed my dad for sticking me in the back. But after about ten minutes of driving and watching my friend in the front seat enjoying the ride, a wide grin spread across his face, my jealousy faded as I recognized that David was experiencing a very different feeling than me – I think it was joy. Joy at the moment and the speed and sun and wind and day and being with a good friend doing something cool. And I caught his joy, which lasted long after the car ride ended. That was a really good birthday, one of my best even. I don’t remember a thing about the car races at Limerock but I will never forget that great ride with my friend David.
In loving memory of a dear, long-time, virtual friend. Thank you for enriching my life; you will be sorely missed.
we love u uncle Charlie…
This was great, I have been researching for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Health Natural Centre Parkinson’s disease HERBAL FORMULA (just google it). It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing Parkinson’s completely. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
Sorry to hear of Bill’s passing!
I really miss you Russell. We spent many Years talk about past memories in our lives. I just wish that I could have seen you before he passed away. I just found out about it about six months ago I l know Olivia has really missed you because she loved you as much as you loved her. We go back many many years and many many memories that I will never forget. Rest in peace you deserve it. There were times we didn’t talk for all because of situation with both of us, but we always came back as if we just picked up where we left off. It is only with out you. I hope that your brother has enjoyed the few years. Did you two were able to spend together and he got to see his mother before she passed away a few years ago.
I am so sorry to hear that you passed away even before your dad did. How’s your dad and I had talked about so many times about life how we loved it so many memories. I know you had some hard times but I do know that you and your dad loved each other very much and Olivia was so precious to both of you. I know your dad loved her more than anything that I can remember since I met your dad decades ago. I know there is love in your heart for him and for your child. we had a lot of Good times together rest in peace son
He was loved by so many and never missed a beat, he will forever watch over his family

Aunt Tina, Claudia and Nichole, So sad to hear the news of Uncle Jonny passing so suddenly. I have such fond memories of spending time together in my childhood. Living next door to each other over the bakery shop, spending the night at your place when you lived in West Chester. I can still remember baking a cake with you. Also you making me a pair of shorts on your sewing machine when I spent the night. Apparently I didn’t come with a change of clothes. Terri often spoke of her time down in Virginia Beach fondly. It would be great to chat and reminisce sometime. Much love and prayers sent your way. Tina Marshman 610-620-4208 tmarshman61@gmail.com
So sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and prayers.
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We’re here for anything you may need.
Much love,

Here to pay my respects to Rick, to his many talents and artistry, and to the incalculable contribution he made to the history and beauty of Randall Made knives.
To be sure, Rick was a world-class artist with a world-class artist’s temprement, sometimes a bit of a curmudgeon, but always a man of honor, integrity and fierce and unshakeable patriotism. You might not agree with Rick, but if he said something, you knew he meant it, and if he stated it as fact, you knew it was true. Rick was never reluctant to let you know where he stood or what he thought. If you disagreed with him a spirited but always respectful debate would follow.
Rick was very much a Renaissance man. In addition to his art, he was an accomplished musician and played guitar in a band for many years. He was an adamant supporter of our military and the men and women in uniform who serve our country.
Rick loved his wife Kim very deeply and always spoke of her lovingly, with respect and admiration. His was very proud of Garrick and Quincy, and the fact that they both chose to serve their country in the Navy.
Rick was my friend for for more than 30 years. I valued his friendship, enjoyed our frequent telephone conversations, and regret that time and distance prevented us from spending more time face to face. I am saddened by his loss, and will miss him.
Dear Hitt Family,
Our heart goes out to you all! We are so saddened by the passing of Tom. He was a long time close friend and will be sorely missed. We will surely keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Keith & Karin Hathaway
So sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to Betty, Bobby and Dorothy as well as the rest of the family. I will always cherish the memories of our families camping together every summer at Kerr Lake and the backyard parties at their house! Rest in Peace Tommy! You will be missed!!

I miss you so much!! I will love you forever and always Jim.
I knew Rick for many years, first as a scrimshaw artist then as a valued friend assisting me to sell a large collection of Randall knives. It was a pleasure to know him, and we would regularly just shoot the breeze about anything and especially politics. We happened to have many common interests. Rick’s passing was almost as great a loss to me as my Father’s death. I will miss him for the the rest of my life.
I mostly remember Tommy in his role as an Owner / Project Manager of Hitt Electric. He was always the consummate professional but never without his great sense of humor. I wish to give my sincere condolences to all of his family as I am sure his passing will leave an emptiness that although will lessen with time, will never be totally filled.
It’s a fearful thing to love
what death can touch.
A fearful thing to love,
hope, dream: to be —
to be, and oh! to lose.
A thing for fools this, and
a holy thing,
a holy thing to love.
For
your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was a gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
It’s a human thing, love,
a holy thing,
to love
what death has touched.
Sincerely,
Curtis Burson
Uncle Steve always gave you a huge hug and kiss and always said he was so glad to see you. His Joy spread to all of us in the family and we are so thankful for his amazing life! He was loved by all who knew him. God Bless you Uncle Steve!
Blessings and peace to Rick’s family. I wish there had been more time for talking, laughing, music and fishing.
Tho you lived a robust and full life as you touched and endeared so many of us so deeply with your warm, funny, brash, quirky, remarkable, generous, upbeat, interesting, vivacious, witty and always loving personality …it, your life, was too short for me! I miss you Bob Manges.. I will always hold you in my heart and cherish the great memories of being in your presence! Loved you mister!! See ya later!! Sending you Hugs, Linda
We love you grandpa for ever, see you on the other side

Thankful for the memories grandpa, I wish we could make more but I know you’re smiling down on all of us ❤️
I love you, Bill and I miss you so much you were my everything. I will see you soon on the other side Nevaeh loves you too and so does Robert loves you and they miss you too. Love you.
Joanna was a great friend for 24 years. I will miss all of our lunches with her and her Mother. I will miss her greatly.
This is shocking, I have only reconnected with Tommy in the last few years and I imagined more visits. Tommy and I went to Courthouse Elementary and had many great times. Dorothy, you and the entire family are in my prayers. Tommy was ONE of a Kind!
Such a sad loss in the Beatty/Hitt family! My thoughts and love to Betty, Bobby and Dorothy.
I knew Tom at The Military Aviation Museum after he had his health crisis . I enjoyed picking him up at the Tide Station on Newtown Road and taking him to the museum. I was impressed with the painful effort he made to get from his apartment in Ghent to Newtown Rd and even to carry on a conversation with his speech. And, we had wonderful conversations on the trip to the Museum. I was so amazed with his encyclopedic knowledge, I only wish I had known him when he was in good health.
Because I was a Coast Guard veteran, he kept me up to date on the travels of Hannah (Hannah banana we would say). He was so proud that she had been selected as a Chief Petty Officer.
I was planning a trip with him back to the Museum to visit his friends, unfortunately I was too late. I will miss him and his sense of humor, but believe he is at peace after the last painful years.

Scott was definitely one of the good ones.. I met him through his children Scotty & Brooke.. just seeing how happy the kids were everytime they got to see him. after a time or two of him coming to see the kids we became friends ..
Scott was one of those people that would Brighten up a room when he entered
and try to put a smile everyone’s face..I am so sorry for your loss..
just know that Scott was a really great person and we will miss him …
Glenn was a significant part of my life. Through our union, our two beautiful children were born. Our lives were separated by unfortunate circumstances. But, I will never regret our years together, or the love we shared, at that time. I thank the Lord for His presence in our lives.
Fly high , Scootie!! Know that you are loved and missed!
He was always the sweetest and most caring person. He loved his family and friends so much. He was the best boyfriend and an amazing “adoptive/step” dad. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Tio Jose, we love you & always remember you. 🕊🙏✝️
Tom, Dylan, Leslie, and John. I’m sorry for your loss. Joanna was a great friend and have many wonderful memories of her.

Truth is, I have been for a long time.
You and I will kick it tohether soon enough.
See you then Bro-Do!

I will miss Jessie as a friend and neighbor.
Jessie always greeted me with a smile and a witty opinion. She was a kind and generous person. When she got her bread machine, we were the recipients of her weekly warm raisin bread. Rest in peace, my friend.
I love you and miss you so much Joey, I’ll see you again one day. But for now I’m gonna live for you. I know you’ll be watching over all of us.❤️
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Scott, Dawn, Haley and family. Condolences to you and your entire family. I know all too well how you feel.

I did not know you, but Alex was my cousin. She loved tf outta you and would have done anything for you. i know she’s hurting right now. My condolences to his family and friends. I know how painful this must be. I send you all love and prayers.
Dear Tom, our sincerest condolences on the passing of your lovely wife Joanna. To have waited so long for a partner only to have your time cut short is truly unfair. Just know that she is in a better place now. May God be with you and Dylan during this difficult time. Your good friends Dave and Dawna.
Forever in our hearts and never to be forgotten. Thank you, Carol, for all of your love, support, and friendship over the years. You were a great mother-n-law, mom, Grandma and Great Grandma to me and all of my boys.
RIP 💕
he was my brother and my mentor me and him know each other since pretty much birth and after all I’ve seen Joey go through I know deep down that the real Joey was a loving caring deep-rooted person that showed such great love and respect and I miss him dearly everyday there’s not one day I go without thinking about him and I know one day we will all meet again together and live in harmony 🕊️👼🏼😭

Remember how Mom was SO worried? And Dad was So pissed!
Only thing that stopped you was being underage and passport lacking.
You came back, Dad cut your hair, and you joined the Army.
You brought me home a hand grenade,a field jacket and field manual. Got stopped three times! For a god damned hand grenade! 🤣

my most heartfelt condolences for your loss and you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time
A kind and gentle voice, easy to smile and never ever complaining. She will be missed,
But will always be with us in spirit,
And through the things she loved
I will always miss you. There is a hole in my heart.
Tommy Hitt always brough a sense of sunshine and joy into every room. It feels like the sun has left the room. My sincerest condolences to Dorothy, Brian, Jeff and the rest of the family. Tommy was a gift to all of us.
You will be missed. Forever in my heart. Love you, Tio!
I was very saddened to read of Ed’s passing. We had worked together at Norfolk Southern’s Labor Relations since 1988 when we all came to Norfolk. It was always a special joy to walk into Ed’s office and have a conversation about the NW and the Mechanical crafts. Ed freely shared his knowledge and he was greatly appreciated.
May God bless the family who I know will miss him.

So sorry to hear of Chong’s home-going. We shared the lanes at the Yorktown YMCA many times over the last couple of years. Happy that she is in arms of Jesus with a brand new body.
My husband and I are saddened from hearing the news of the passing of Angie. I first met her over 30 years ago. She had a beautiful and welcoming smile. Since Peter was my manager for many years, I spoke with Angie many, many times. I loved her humor, as we shared many stories. I admired her professional taste in decoration and her always beautiful personality. Our prayers are with you Peter and the girls. Angie will always have a place in our hearts. Love Ann and Willard Ricks
I love you, mom. I’m glad the suffering is over. I pray you are rejoicing with Jesus!
to you my sister I send my condolences for the loss of your lifetime partner. I was privileged to be there with you to help care for Terry in her last month . as well as help you during your health issues. love .
Keeping you and the family in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m not sure what drew me here tonight, but I couldn’t leave your page blank. You were a great friend, a great disc golf partner, and a great poker player (though some might argue that last one). I miss you. Howard we all do, you were always inappropriate but hilarious. I remember talking watches and cars with you, and shooting down 64 in the bummer with you. You were a force, depending on the moon I was never sure what kind of force, but we all loved you.

My condolences to Bill’s family. He was a special friend to me when he worked at the auto parts store. We would occasionally take our lunch break at Gibbs across the street. Those were the good old days.
I just saw the obituary for Mrs. Kinney. She was such a kind and gracious member of Bethel Baptist Church. She loved her family so much, and was so sweet to her friends at church. I pray you will be comforted by our God in the times ahead as your grieve your wife, mom, and relative.
Tom,
My deepest sympathy to you and your son. May God’s face shine upon you and comfort your hearts during this time. This quote is I believe from Queen Elizabeth “grief is the result of love”. So it is okay to grieve and hold to those loving memories.
Your Friend,

Jo was assistant priest at my church, Church of the Epiphany, where I was blessed to get to know her. She was comfortable in the pulpit and even more comfortable and comforting in her one-on-one ministry to parishioners. I loved her smile, her laughter, her kindness and compassion. May she Rest In Peace.

Mom was going through some of her jewelry and attached is a note with one of her rings. Mom and dad spent quite a bit of time with your parents. I believe Mr Neuhofer‘s company did contract work for Canadian National Railway, where my father worked as a civil engineer. When the men were off in meetings Mrs Neuhofer and my mom would go off together exploring, shopping, etc.
I remember meeting your parents once and recall how nice they were. I had flown to Florida, where both parents were their on business and staying at a hotel in Boca Raton. Mrs Neuhofer introduced me to crème Brulé for dessert one evening. Yum! Good memories.
We are very sorry for your loss. Please accept our belated condolences.
My since condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. May your memories of Alan bring you peace and comfort. He thought the fight and he was just tired. May you rest in peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Alan and I worked across the parking lot from each other and we always laughed when we saw each other. Alan had such a great laugh and his disposition was always upbeat . Gone too soon is probably my first thought. However, God has gained a soulful man who will be the go to history expert in Heaven. See you down the road Alan, “Well done good and faithful servant”.
it has almost been 8 months since God called you home. Some days hurt worse than others. Sometimes it feels like you left us only yesterday and then other days it seems like it has been years. I stare at your picture’s on my wall often. I wish I could just come down and see you in the apartment. I am trying to do my best with the promise I made you! We all miss you! Love you dad!
R.I .P Alan ,I sure do miss the chats we had one heck of a nice man .🙏
I enjoyed knowing Jo in Newport News when she served at St George’s. She was a delightful person. She was a faithful priest and a caring friend. I will miss her and hope to be at the funeral.

My heart just sank when I heard the news of Butch’s passing. Although many years have gone by, I have such fond memories of the times we shared when the boys played soccer. We were a close knit family, and I was thankful to have so many wonderful, supportive people surrounding my children with love, kindness, and wisdom. I could see how much Butch adored the 3 of you, and I know my children could see it too. Please know that Ryan, Lindsay, and I are sending our love and holding you close in our thoughts.
Loved working with you, you are loved and will be truly missed.
I love you forever Mom 💗
To the most strongest Women we know. As you rest in our God’s presence, here on earth you’re still blessing all of us with the love you left.

Rest in peace, Besty. Till we meet again. <3
A beautiful soul has entered eternal rest and peace. Karen was a model of friendship and exemplified how a friend can stick closer than a brother. I miss her already.
Thank you, Jesus, for making a way for Karen to be with you by dying on the cross in her place. There is no other god like You!
Karen – WOW what an impact you made to everyone in your life. Thank you thank you thank you for showing what a loving and caring friend, wife, mother, and grandmother you were. Thank you for always checking on everyone and keeping us all laughing. We love you

I will continue to live my life to make you proud and to represent the Abelquist name as that’s one of the things you taught me was to proud of who I was and your wife is and who I am. even though I have never in my life felt the pain I feel without you near it doesn’t compare to the love I felt with and from you the devotion and understanding you gave me. I am the luckiest woman in the world cause I had you to love me and the love you provided is like a love no other in this world will ever know. until we are together again my love. It’s you baby it’s always been you it will always be you.
So very sorry for you and your families loss.

I was in training for GTA at EVMS and got on the elevator with Kyle, both of us with our roller bags. He asked if I was a GTA, I asked if he was a MUTA. Then all I could think of to say was “Thank you for your service” which I told him didn’t seem quite right. We had a laugh over that.
So sorry for your loss, prayers to all of you.
Precious Karen! She had the brightest smile! Always an encourager in the Lord! A warrior!! She encouraged me in my journey with my husband James and after he passed! She always said she was there for me! I’ll see you again Karen! Blessed Assurance!!

I missed her when she retired and I am so sorry that she is no longer with us. I feel so privileged to have known her. She and her oved ones wil be in my prayrers.
So many of us at EVMS remember being the beneficiaries of Kyle’s baking skills. But beyond that, Kyle was a wonderful member of the EVMS team for so many years. We will miss him and his cheery greetings that brought smiles as he walked past our offices. On behalf of all of us, we send our deepest sympathies.
We have an EVMS jacket that Kyle ordered, and we would love to give it to one of his family members if we can.
My wife Val and I came to know Dorothy from her long friendship with my mother Sue Gwaltney. Dorothy met mom at BSF and they became best of friends.

Thank you Dorothy for your friendship with my mother that she so treasured!
My heart is hurting. Someone so precious to so many has left this world way too soon.

Kim and I had become close over the last year. She was such a gentle soul. I will miss her so much. She will forever be in my heart. I enjoyed spending time with her so much. We were such a great fit for friends. There is so much more to say, but no words can explain what a great person she is and how much she will be missed. My condolences to her family.
Karen was the sweetest person to work with! I’d never met her in person, but we’d speak frequently throughout the years. I remember she let out the biggest scream with excitement when she found out I was expecting. She was as excited as any of my family members. I was always happy after every conversation we had. Karen truly cared about the people in her life. Karen will be missed; I am extremely grateful for the 6 years of friendship that we shared.
Linda you are now joined with your very loving beautiful mother. RIP
Imagine Heaven
Imagine that day, when time no longer stands as the enemy, neither magnifying our suffering nor delaying our satisfaction, but peace becomes a constant companion, and time becomes a friend

It was with great sadness that I learned of Kyle’s passing. He was such a kind and gentle man. I worked with Kyle at EVMS where I got to know him. My interactions with him made me realize that he was a true gentleman. I hope the family will keep all their fond memories close to their heart and smile when they think of him, as I do.
Prayers for comfort to Karen’s family and loved ones. I came to know Karen at LifeNet Health. We worked in different departments but we often sat together for lunch and I enjoyed her company, her warm smile, her easygoing nature, and our many conversations about life, work, and family. Her positive outlook, even through her trials, was a gift of hope and inspiration for me and for many others. May you be comforted by your warm and loving memories of Karen.
May you fly high with the Angels Ray..And my condolences and prayers to your family. May you rest in peace Ray..❤🙏🏼☝🏼❣
Aunt Jesse was the epitome of what a loving Mom is. I have fond memories of spending summer vacation at her home. She always made me feel like part of her family. She met my Mom when they worked at the bank, and I can see why they became lifelong friends. Knowing her in my youth definitely made me a kinder person. I’d be happy to make a donation in her honor to our local animal shelter ❤️
I remember Adla as very loving and generous. I am sorry to hear of her passing. She was so nice to me and I remember she took me to places when I was little and brought candy. Very sweet lady. ♥️♥️
I worked with Manuela at CLMS and was Andrews teacher. Manuela seemed to know when my middle school day was overwhelming and would manage to make me laugh with her funny stories. She was a kind lady. I was glad to have known.
You will always be in my heart .💔💔💔
I apologize for this late entry… I just moved back to Virginia from Alaska… I had the amazing good fortune to have Maryann as my clinical supervisor while I was getting my masters degree in clinical social work for Norfolk State University in the early 1990s. Maryann introduced me to psychodrama which was an amazing intervention that helped people resolve/rework difficult situations in their lives… Because of Maryann I went on to do psychodrama for about nine years with Jeanne Burger. It was an amazing education as well as a wonderful, personal healing experience. Maryann’s death is a huge loss . Rest in peace, Maryann.
Iam so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest condolences and prayers…

Another Misty Memory of My Friend
My condolences to y’all.
Your Mom was my (foster) sister and the best sister at that. She came to be with my family in 1972. We we were blessed to have gotten to grow with her and to have loved her. I was always the pesky little sister and she put up with me. For many years we were apart and had no contact, then one day I saw her name on Twitter and started asking if she was my long lost sister. When she replied that she indeed was my sister it was like the best feeling in the world. We got to catching each other up and then once caught up on life it was like we had never been apart. I know GOD brought her back in my life so I could feel her love and give my love. I will miss her voice and daily/weekly text messages.
Fly with the angels sis.
Your love and kindness will continue to surround your family and friends.
Until we meet again our memories of you will be our comfort.
To Marie and the McSweeney family, please accept our deep felt condolences on Kenney’s passing. We were heartbroken when we got the news. May God continue to comfort you in these difficult times. Kenny Will certainly be missed… rest now brother in law
I served with Don on USS Blue from 1957 to 1959. Both of us were in Gunnery Department under the tutelage of Ltlg Harry Schrader later to become VADM. Enjoyed Don’s friendship. I think he and I were the last guys standing from that period. Sorry to hear of his passing.
May one of the sweetest yet strongest people I have ever known forever rest in peace. Karen, dear child of God, your pain and suffering are finally over. God needed another key angel in heaven. We will forever miss you, but so glad we were blessed to know you.
I was so sorry to see that Mrs. Riley had passed. She was a long time library patron and I always enjoyed visiting with her when she came to the library. Condolences to her family.
My Karen, this is what I always called you because you were so dear and close to me. This is very hard for me because I lost a friend that lived unconditionally. I lost a true friend but GOD was happy to receive you home. HE said that your work was over so come and enter my rest. We will see each other again when I cross over the Jordan River. I know that you are rejoicing with the Lord. Love You My Karen.

I lost a true friend but GOD was happy to receive you home. HE said that your work was over so come and enter my rest. We will see each other again when I cross over the Jordan River. I know that you are rejoicing with the Lord. Love You My Karen.
How do you get in contact with someone. None of the numbers are working.??????
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of a remarkable man.
I love and miss you so much Dad.
Elyse and family – my heart breaks for all of you and you have my deepest condolences. Elyse has shared so many stories of the wonderful times she shared with her dad and memories she has of music, musicals, old movies, and shows (and the backyard critters!) and what an important part of her life those times were. Every story was told with a big smile and it was easy to tell they brought her back to very happy times in her life. I never met Mr. Anderson but from all I learned through the stories Elyse shared, it’s clear he was a wonderful and loving man. Elyse – we are here for you and will support you and your family in any way needed. God Bless.
Dear Kathleen, Elyse and Jaime
I was heartbroken to hear the news of Joe’s passing. My memories of him are of a funny, thoughtful, lovely man. I was so relieved when Megan told me about you all and the wonderful family who looked after her when she was with you all. I was delighted to get to meet you all and spend some time with you during your stay in Ireland. That time has left me with very fond memories. Joe was an absolute gentleman and I cannot imagine what you must be feeling at this very sad time. Sending you, Kathleen and the girls, huge hugs from Ireland. God bless xxx
May God and all his angels surround the family of Valerie and bring you all comfort and welcome her home as one of their own.
Many happy memories from Project Children thanks to Joe and family. Thinking of them and their great loss at this time x

I remember the day I met Val and David.. vividly. like it was yesterday. Val always made me giggle about something. she was always nice to me. she will be missed. I remember she was telling me one time .she wanted a Denali…with the licence plate that said Vallysdenali. lol. she always had me laughing. was instantly sad to hear she had left us to go home. she left behind a lot of people that loved her… and even some that didn’t realize it.. until she was gone. 😩 she was not an easily forgotten person . her children and Dave will keep her memory alive for sure. we will miss you Val! we can all have relief in the fact that she is in no pain.. physically or mentally anymore. I kno she will be here in spirit watching over her babies… which are almost grown now.. none the less.. she will be.. I love you girl❤️ we will see you when we get there! ❤️❤️❤️GONE BUT DEFINITELY NOT FORGOTTEN❤️❤️❤️

Dear family,
I’m totally heartbroken to read of Tina’s passing.
I knew her at work for many years. I’m 83, she called every 2-3 months…she called me “Nurse Friday “. I gave her my dear sister’s red grocery cart and treasured our friendship. I would truly like to be in touch with a family member. My address is 119, Tipton Rd, Newport News VA 23606-3661
My Deepest condolences,
Benita St Pierre
PS: I forgot to mention something very important…. Tina was a dedicated outstanding CNA and will be missed by all.
Kathleen, Elyse and Jamie we are shocked and saddened by the loss of Joe. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
To The Steen Family
I was so saddened to learn that Harvey had passed in 2021. I have always held Harvey and Phyllis in high regard since first meeting them in the mid 80s. My thoughts and prayers remain with Phyllis and the rest of the Steen family.
I am so sorry to hear about Tommy. We played against each other in High School as he was at FC and I was at Cox. We did play together for several years at Trant Field playing Pony and Colt. While we were not on the same teams, we hooked up for the All-Stars. He was not only an exceptional athlete, he was an exceptional person. I am proud to say I knew and played with Tommy for many years. Prayers and thoughts are with the family.
Kathleen, Elyse and Jamie we are shocked and saddened by the loss of Joe. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
My brother, Stan, was good friends with Ray. Ray was almost like another big brother I saw him so much! One of my very favorite memories of Ray was when he was sitting in my mom and dad’s living room with headsets on listening to “When A Man Loves A Woman” by Percy Sledge. My brother was eating dinner and Ray was waiting for him to finish. I was in 3rd grade and my best friend was spending the night. Well, Ray was singing along to the record and we all had some chuckles over his NON pitch-perfect performance. RIP Ray.
Forever and always with love rest in peace you beautiful soul.
Kathleen, Elyse and Jamie I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Joe. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joe made work fun when I started, un-poppable bubble gate, rose air fresher under his chair, rubber chicken in his carry on. He would put tape on the phone connection so you can pickup and chuckle from his cube. He would always fall for the fake doughnut. He figured out how to play music from his desk by conferencing our phones when we worked late. The afternoon wawa walks. He would let me not miss a Gilmore episode if he needed me to work late. He was kind, caring, fun to be around. He loved his family and would light up when he talked about them. He will be missed. I will cherish the good memories and getting to know Joe for the years I got work with him.
I am so very sorry to learn of his passing. My condolences.
All of us here at Legerity will miss Joe so very much. We are so saddened by his sudden passing and are keeping your family close in our hearts.
I worked with Joe at Amerigroup/Anthem for several years. The office was always entertaining with him, and it was nothing to have a ball thrown into our cubicles by him. He would share stories about his family putting locks on their ice cream cartons to keep him out. Because of his calm demeanor, we played so many jokes on him in the office and he reciprocated. Most days working with Joe was a day of laughter especially when some of department contributed to a set of $20 tire rims for his Ford Escort station wagon. Almost the entire department was in the parking lot laughing with him. If there was prank planned on someone in the department, we could count on Joe. When we heard that he had car accident with his daughters in the car, we were just as concerned as his family. Through all of fun, he had a compassionate side, and he would take the time to listen. He understood the issues that I was experiencing with my parents being elderly and needing additional assistance. When I was working alone in the building on a Saturday, he showed up and told me to go home because I had worked enough. Joe was a lovable person, and we will miss him dearly. He has made a tremendous impact on many lives, and he will forever be remembered. My condolences to his family but know others loved him too and he is now making the angels laugh in heaven. Prayng for all of you.
We love you so much and will forever miss you
Wendy received Jesus into her heart and she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus. She is no longer in pain and the Lord has wiped away all tears from her eyes.
My Family and I were given one the greatest gifts recently, as we spent 6 days with her… beside her beside. We were all able to express our love, thankfulness and gratitude to her as she was in her final days. She listened to the old hymns that she loved and we, as well as the rest of the Family prayed with her, Sang to her and read scripture with her.
Wendy had a heart of sincere compassion and sacrificial love to all that loved and knew her.
She cared more about others than the pain and discomfort that she was in.
She was a brave warrior in the battle for her life.
She kept on fighting till the Lord Jesus called her home.
My precious and dear Wendy, we will see you again in heaven, by the grace of God.
All of love, thankfulness and gratitude for you being you. You will always hold a special place of honor and deep respect in our hearts.
Love, Kenny, Penny, Kevin and Michael
💓🙏💓🙏💓
To one of the bravest and strong willed woman, I’ve ever known inspiration to all who knew her.
RIP You will be missed
Our sincerity condolences.
I’m so sorry for yall lose I send much love and prayers to all of you
Joe was one of the first people I met when I started at Anthem. He was helpful, kind and his humor was so fun. His smile and demeanor will not be forgotten but will certainly be missed. Sincerest condolences to his family and closest friends during this difficult time.
There are no words that can express my feelings around the loss for your family and the loss a wonderful, loveable individual that was a friend to many. Joe was a very special person to me as we shared many of the same interests and immediately hit it off when I came to know him in 2005, His love for his family, faith, music and programming were evident and sources of numerous conversations. Joe was a prankster and enjoyed silly activities like a “wind-up” duck race between cubicles. He was so quick-witted that puns flew hourly as well. The thing that is most important, to remember about Joe, was his caring nature for people. He was quick to lend a helping hand when he knew it was needed. I considered Joe a true friend and will miss him immensely. You all will be in our prayers as you work through this season in life.
It was a privilege to have known you back when we were kids and you lived in Geneva Shores. You taught me how to play chess, and although I’m not very good at it, I in turn taught my grandkids to play and it’s made for some quality family time. Thanks old buddy. Rest In Peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. I worked with him for several years at Amerigroup and he was one of the smartest, caring, and funny coworkers I’ve had in my career. My condolences to your family, he will truly be missed.
When we met, I saw in your smile a pure heart, you are a great loss Joe
So sorry to hear this. Joe was a great guy. Prayers with you and your family during this difficult time.
Joe was such a lovely person. I worked with him at NTT DATA on the project at DC. He was such a fun person to work with and very smart. I am so sorry for your loss.
I was so sad to hear about Rosie’s passing. I was one of her close high school friends along with 5 others. We all spent lots of time driving around and having fun in her little red Toyota Celica. Rosie was always a sweet hearted person who was kind to everyone she met. I’ll always have fond memories of all the fun times we had together. I wish her family the best during this hard time
Joe always made me feel welcome. I went through a very difficult few years and he, and Kathleen, provided me the support I needed to keep going. He was witty and kind. He helped my elderly mother (try to) stay on top of computer technology. He will be greatly missed. My love to all the family.
Great soul, gone too soon.
I am sending prayers for the entire family. Joe, was a very kind and funny man. One night I was working late. new to the entire team under Jeff. Joe came and sat with me and talked. Shared stories about his amazing wife and girls. He ensured me life will get better. At the time my boys were young and i was doing it all on my own
He showed me how to use a few systems I had no clue how to use. And he was always ok with me asking questions. As time went on, he also showed me some great practical jokes to play on the team. I had no idea he was such a prankster till that time. I know this time seems unreal and it will . Hold tight to each other and remember you are very loved and he is always with you because that is the only place he loved to be.
prayers and a million hugs.
Joe was a kind soul with an infectious smile. He once saved our dinner at the beach by driving to the Outer Banks with the right cookbook so that we could make oatmeal bread. As t turned out, they were the best 2 loaves I ever made. Joe stayed to share the spoils! His loss is just unbelievable. May his spirit forever touch his family and all those who loved him.
Joe was a great co worker and an even better person. Very smart and soft spoken. Prayers to his family he will be greatly missed
RIP
My prayers and thoughts go our to Kathleen and the girls. Joe was one of the nicest people I ever worked with. He was a gentle, kind and happy man and I am sure he will be missed by many.

My husband who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from natural herbs centre after undergoing their Parkinson’s natural protocol. God Bless all Parkinson’s Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
Thinking of you with love, surrounded by light, on your birthday.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Thankful to hear part of her story here. Praying for you all! Much love, the York Family
I am so sorry for your loss.
May he rest in peace. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
Prayers for comfort to Joe’s family through this difficult time.
Miss you bud.
Kathleen, Elyse, and Jaime,
It has been many years since Joe and I went out for hot dogs at that place on Newtown Road when we were both at Amerigroup but we always stayed in touch over those 20 plus years via FB. Joe was a dear friend, mentor, and leader to me in my short time living in VB. He was always a positive force to anyone that needed a smile or a pick me up. Joe made work fun for those that had the pleasure of knowing him. He always spoke so lovingly of the three of you. My fondest memories were of the days we would grab a few beers and take my boat out. May he rest in peace. He was a great man.
Jim Berlinger
I will always remember you for your hospitality along with Loy when I attended Bible study in your home, and for the many words of wisdom you blessed me with.Rest in peace…Jean James
My dear friend Kathleen, and Elyse and Jaime – What a huge loss for all. Joe’s heart, wit and compassion shone through all of his actions. He was a devoted husband and father and a wonderful role model. I hope the loving memories will help give you stability in your grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the extended family.
Sincerely, Lynn Shippee

Somehow I didn’t get to finish my message to you.
My heart breaks for all of you in your loss of Matt.
We are comforted by our God who has our new Heavenly home ready for Matt. I am sure he is playing The Bass with grandfather Buzz. His Grandmother Helen is singing in the choir with my mom Pauline and dad Richard. A place with no pain or sickness.
I love you all very much.

This is such a shock! Ray & Joy both are such kind neighbors. We have shared many laughs on their front porch & at their 4th of July parties. Ray was a funny rock n roller that I will never forget! Joy, if I can do anything…please let me know. I’m just on the other side of you.❤️
I’m so sorry. She lived a long life. She was always so nice to me. I love you so much. Rip!
It was a great pleasure knowing you Ernie 💛
May Joe’s quiet sense of humor and love for all never be forgotten and live forever in the hearts of all ❤️ Sending so much love to Kathleen, Elyse and Jaime
I was blessed to have met you at Nimmo. Rest in peace.
Nancy made math education, courses and teachers in VBCPS 2nd to none.
The world has lost a beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, and wonderful lady. Gone too soon, both you and Judy! You are missed dearly, but your spirit and our shared times will remain in my heart forever!! Laurice
Aunt Florence – You were one of my most beloved adult relatives as a child. I will never forget the many times I stayed with you and Uncle Howie and the wonderful memories I still have of those special times. You always made me feel like one of your own. Thank you for making me feel so loved.
Nancy was a dear, long time friend. We shared season tickets at the Virginia Stage Company for 27 years.
Jude Harris was a great man and will forever be missed.
Gone but not forgotten. We love and miss you, Nate. Grandpa and Grammy Diana Rader.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jude’s passing. For many years we had brief weekly interactions when his work and mine intersected and I was always struck by his kindness and warmth. It was so very evident that he had a heart full of compassion and much love and consideration for others. He was a bright light in this world and will be greatly missed.
However brief our opportunities to interact were; I always cherished them. I can think of so many times you were there for me with compassion and understand, when you didn’t need to be. You will be so very missed.
Jude was a gentle and sweet friend. Always smiling, always generous with his time and always with a kind word. He was part of our Capital Results family and we truly loved him very much. Sending our love to those who loved him and knew him best.

Miss McClure was one of my favorite teachers at FC. True story: I bombed the take-home calculus midterm (she wrote on my paper something like it was the worst grade she’d ever given on that test). But I recovered and got a 5 on the AP exam.
Ssssccccooootttttttaaaaayyyyy. We have been best friends for nearly 13 years. We hit it off as soon as I we met. I miss our talks about everything and anything. 2weeks before you got sick we were making plans for you to come back to RI. I love you forever my friend. May you now rest in peace with no pain. Till we meet again

I just found out about this, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a great person and friend…
I was lucky enough to teach with Herb at Booker T. He always defined the word, ‘gentleman.’ He offered his students, both day and night school, the years of education and experience hoping they would find it the treasure he always did.
Sending so much love. He was such a sweet man and always treated me like family. I’ll always cherish our times together.
We will miss you Dave, you were a great and genuine person with a great smile 😊 always willing to help others.
loved him wish I could be there to celebrate David’s life which was an awesome life he lived…he’ll be missed by all who knew him
IM Truly Sorry The Passing Of Jude Affectionately Known As Tubby May He Rest IN Heavenly Peace. Gone Too Soon.
My Buddy Holly. We were the closest of friends and we both knew it. How can I express my grief over his passing? I don’t have the words. First Bobbie, then Ruth, and now Holly. Four good friends torn apart by death. Only the Lord knows why he called them home. They are happy now and free of pain. That is the only way to process this loss for the ones left behind. We are grieving-those in heaven are not. Let us all praise the wonderful lives they led and the great memories left behind.
deepest sympathy Jackie. You were one of a kind. you will be missed by all that new you. my condolences to our families in this tragic loss
Our heart goes out to my brother Raymond for the loss of my sister in law Jacki she will truly be missed by all that knew her
I am so sorry for your loss.
Sending love to you all 💕
Ms McClure was by far my favorite teacher and played a major role in me obtaining a degree in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. My wife and I also got a wedding gift from her.
I only learned of Nancy’s death today, and I’m so sorry to have missed her service. I was fortunate enough to have her as my teacher for Math Analysis and Calculus at First Colonial (Class of 1984). She did not suffer fools, but it was clear to me even then how much she loved her students and cherished the opportunity to teach them. I love it that she wrote her own obituary, too. It makes me wish I could have stayed in touch—she led a remarkable life. Blessings to her family.
I just found out about Mr. Boyce passing.
I have known Bill since 1997. He sold a home to Me on Chesapeake Ave. always helpful and caring.
I am sad I didn’t attend any service
if anyone can reach out to me so I can speak with any family.
We have fond memories of Jude and Dennis at JRDA parties, and their prize winning desserts. We have missed seeing them since they moved across the Bay. So sorry that Jude did not have more time to enjoy that new life.
Nancy taught math as only a lover of math could. I remember the blackboard drills and the portraits of mathematicians she kept on the walls. Every so often we’d get a bit of a break while she highlighted the accomplishments of one of them. She was particularly fond of Pascal. Calculus with Nancy at FC will always be a vivid and pleasant memory. Sdxdt
My sincere condolences and love.
I started teaching part-time at TCC in 1987 – history at the Portsmouth campus and French at the Virginia Beach campus where he was my boss. I will always remember a comment I heard him make which influenced the rest of my teaching. I was sitting outside his office waiting for my final interview and another faculty member was in the office (door open) complaining that she had not received a certain appointment to a committee. The faculty member said, “But I have 20 years experience!” And I could hear Bill answer, “No, you don’t. You have one year of experience 20 times.” I didn’t know then and still don’t know the faculty member as I preferred teaching closer to home and did not want to make the long commute, but not only do I appreciate him giving me a start, but that remark always stuck with me. In teaching, every year is a new year and should bring forth new knowledge and evolving methods.
Happy Anniversary Sallie. I Love You.

I will forever hold you in my heart mind and soul. I love you. you are my everything.
To the Filers and Tignors, Our sincere condolences in your time of grief. Starla was a wonderful woman and I know she will be sorely missed by you and the old Pembroke Meadows family. Sincerely, Mort and Susan Kenyon
So sad to read about Anna’s passing. It’s been so many years since Lorraine, Anna, Mangi and we were together. In fact I didn’t know Anna had left Denver! As a reminder my mom, Bea Weil and Lorraine Robinson were friends way back and Lorraine was with us both at Shwayder Camp and Rabbit Ears Lodge in the Colorado,ountains. It’s sad that we need to catch up whenAnna is not longer with us. We are still in Steamboat Springs . Thoughts and prayers
So very sorry to learn of Starla’s passing. She was a wonderful neighbor when we lived in Pembroke Meadows. She was always and I mean always there to help in school or in the neighborhood with anything involving her children, She always had a smile or her face, What a loss. Sympathy to the family. hugs, Nancy and Steve Schreier
Oh what a dear, dear man. I met Bill in 1976 and had the great pleasure of working with him for many years and partying with him for many more as neighbors! I loved his laugh and his joy of life.
I love you and can’t wait till we see each other again
my deepest condolences. May the memories of your mom bring you comfort and joy. May she rest in peace.
Thinking about you every day. I miss you so much. Sending all my love to your family.
Rest in peace my friend. Privilege to know you and work with you at Tidewater Mack.Learned a lot from you.Truly one of the smartest people I’ve ever known.
I had the privilege of caring for Bill for decades. I loved his sense of humor, persistence and his open heartedness. I will miss this unique man who taught me so very much.
Mr.Lynn was such a nice boss to work with. Condolences to your family. Rest in Peace
Karen was a sweet and loving person. We enjoyed our many conservations hearing of her childhood, her family, her adventures with Sam and tales of Mary and Maggie growing up. Rest in Peace with Sam and our Lord and Savior.

Love & miss you but I’m happy you’re with dad and everyone else ❤️❤️
My deepest and warmest condolences to family and friends. Bill gave me one of my first jobs after graduating from UVA. He allowed me to grow and develop while giving me the tools to explore other careers and find my purpose. Almost daily he would brainstorm ways to help countless young professionals to move forward in work and business. He groomed his staff to do this too. A goal-setter, he was kind to all, a humble man, super intelligent, and we shall miss him. May God bless his family and friends.
To Marcia’s family:
I am so sorry to learn of Marcia’s passing. I just wanted to say that I was very fond of her. Our paths crossed many times at Galilee Episcopal Church in the kitchen, in the sanctuary, and in the gift shop. She had such a great sense of humor and wit and timing and was a delight to spend time with. She was always dressed beautifully and every conversation included a reference to Stan, Dana, or Nicholas whom I did not know, but she mentioned all of her family so easily, as if I did, so I felt as if I did. I loved listening to the traces of her New England accent in her voice. My dad was from Boston so it touched a sentimental part of me. I cannot recall all the things we chatted about, but it was just how the conversations made me feel. She was always interested in me and what I had to say and she had that quick wit which made the conversation light and just lovely to be around. I heard from others that she had some health issues but she never let on….she just always looked fabulous and exuded positivity. I will miss her. She was just great and I know you all will miss her, too! May her memory be a blessing! Kim Timms
I am very sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. I have a lot of great memories of Mike. I know he will be deeply missed.
love you Mom.. missing you dearly

Hot snot cold boogs Scott, pierced his ear with a needle an’ a cork, needle him—do it do it do it—spit to make it shine, shine silver like King Street’s not, like not Saturday night, not phosphorescent, not for a second, but the second exit—and the parking lot, a lot of night (lot of Krispy Kremes), coffee black, coughing in the back seat, weed’s not rolled right seeds pop, Scott sees a folded star falling to the floor, stardrops on tarmac, pitch cold light warm woolen mittens—no not knit here—not hot mutton on a silver platter, but cold cold sheep on a paper plate.

My deepest condolences to family and friends. Georgiana never met a stranger. The love, the laughter and words of wisdom shall be cherished in all who knew her. You will be missed greatly sweetheart. Forever in my heart and prayers until we meet again.
Mike I’m gonna miss you brother. I’ve got a lot of good memories both working with you as a co worker and later working for you as my boss. You were a solid dude and hated working mondays just like me. See you on the other side brother.
So sorry to lose Mike. He was one of those people you meet in life that just make it better no matter what you’re doing.
I couldn’t have asked for a more loving mother-in-law. Georgia was so kind and thoughtful with everyone. There is no replacement for this mother, grandmother, nd great grandmother.
We’re so very sorry for everyone’s loss. sending many prayers for comfort & strength for all of his family & friends.

Being able to see your great grandson several times a week was amazing. We love you and know you are with the Lord. We will see you soon. L❤VE YOU FOREVER!! Genine, David, and Josh

We are so very sorry to hear about the loss of Aunt Louise. It has been long since we’ve all seen each other but we loved her very much.
I miss my sister sooooo much! I owed her soooo much for taking care of me when I was little & our biological mom just left us to fend for ourselves. Janet was only 5 or 6, and Jacque was only 3 or 4 & I was 1 or 2. But Janet took on the task of being our pseudo-mom & watch after us to make sure we were all ok. I loved her for that. I don’t know how we would have ever survived without her. I miss her dearly…
I miss you so much mom
Kelly,
My deepest sympathies are with you and your family. Please know that I am praying for your peace and comfort during this difficult time.
For many reasons we will always remember Alex but his gift of music is what stirs our spirit and soul the most along with his infectious laugh and kind giving and sacrificial spirit. His love for others displayed in works more than words is what drew so many to his side. He will be remembered fondly and forever. We love the Rotter family. Shalom be with you. Jeff and Becki South.
I played trombone with Alex when we both were in grade school in Rotterdam. The four years of high school at Mohonasen. So many memories. Thoughts and prayers to his family….
Alex was a like a second Dad to me and I could write a book about how deeply he impacted my life. I first met him when I got a job at Center of Music. I was 17, now 45. I walk in those lessons of life he gave me, to this very day, and still share stories about him with everyone. He helped me learn to teach music, do street and prison ministry, and he even paid for my initial piano tuning certification. But most of all his example of serving others and helping me walk with Jesus left the greatest impact. I am eternally indebted to him and look forward to thanking him in person again one day! Love you Alex!

What a beautiful tribute to a great man! Our lives will never be the same without Uncle Alex. He brought so much joy to everyone. His smile and laugh were contagious! So many of my memories of Uncle Alex include music. I can still hear him singing, playing, and teaching music. A definite highlight of his life was when he owned Music Central. He was so happy to share his love of music, but his true passion was for God and ministering to others. I will always remember my summers in VA with the family. The Rotter home was my second home and I am grateful for the love Uncle Alex showed me. We had so many deep discussions about life and God. I was honored to have him sing at my wedding. I will keep all the memories of him alive in my heart. Until we meet again Uncle Alex…I will continue to hold on to the “one thing”…I love you.
Alex was great friend, advisor, teacher. Great guy to work with. The music world won’t be the same without him. Maybe he and Gordon Lightfoot can create some new folk songs. Gonna miss you.
From Ann Horton
Alex’s teaching the keyboard has given me a world of enjoyment as well as a creative outlet to enjoy and share with others.
Alex was an exceptional person! He was generous with his time, expertise, and support to help all his students to excel! He was a patient man!
I also looked forward to the Zoom keyboard sessions he hosted monthly with all of the students from the Organ Outlet.
He will be missed, but his legacy to help others pursue their dreams be always be remembered,
Alex was a joy to be with as well as an accomplished musician who shared his talent to help others enjoy the love of music.
Alex!s talent to bring out the best in all his students was exceptional!
He made all of his students feel special and deserved his undivided attention!
And he gave that to us! 100%
We appreciated his devotion to each and everyone of us!
It is because of him that we share the love of music!
He will be fondly remembered!
So sorry to hear about Dr. Bankes’ passing. I took some of his classes at CNC while I was there. He was a very knowledgeable instructor and I enjoyed his class. Also to his family and especially his son Ben…very sorry for your loss. I was in classes with Ben as early as Hilton Elementary School (I was Cindy Greene then). Prayers for peace and comfort for your family during this difficult time.
I saw Rob again after many, many years at our 50th Granby HS reunion in October, 2022. We chatted and laughed, and it was good to see him. I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Jeanne, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. You are often in our thoughts, every time we hear great violin or attend the symphony. Your ex-students Katy French and Amanda Roberts still get together and play. We will never forget your great kindness and influence. Asking God to send you and your daughter comfort and peace. OXOX

This is Judy Smith and I was one of Alex students. I am just receiving this…. Please know that you indeed have my Condolence. I was in total shock when I saw this. Around the same time my husband and I loss our last daughter and I hadn’t been on the computer very much. So that might be how I missed it. Know that your husband encouraged me to not give up on the key board when I had someone discouraging me to give up
. He told me that he could see that I love it. So I kept working at it. Thank you for sharing your husband with us. He was indeed a jewel and we will indeed miss and remember him. Judy C. Smith
We just recontact each other 6 months ago. We used to call each other Luigi because of our love for Italian food. We worked together in the 1970s and did ministry in the hospitals, VA, and the streets of Newport News. We had some great times and memories together when we were young.
Don was one of my colleagues when I worked for peoples Drug. He was a very helpful individual and a great pharmacist. RIP, Don
A zealous evangelist, Alex got the men of St. Kateri Tekakwitha in Tabb, VA, to start the That Man Is You program five years ago. We have met every Saturday for breakfast, an enlightening video and discussion. We even extended our meetings to include summer sessions as the men so loved getting together and sharing our faith. We can attest to the way TMIY has touched each of us and I join the group in saying, “Thanks Alex!”
Sending prayers and condolences to you Jeannie, your daughter Julianna and your family. So sorry for your loss.

My deep condolences are with Dennis during this difficult time. I only met Jude through the small screen, but I know he was a loving, thoughtful man and that he was greatly admired and loved by all who knew him. I am sure that Jude’s spirit of love and kindness will continue through the many people that he loved and served so well. I am keeping Dennis and Jude and their family in my prayers.
Our deepest sympathies go out to you in these trying times my friend.
Love and prayers from our family to yours
I hope this candle helps you find a bit of light in the darkness.
Mike was just a straight up good person. I can’t think of one person that didn’t like him. He will always be missed in the 046 Electrical Department of NN shipbuilding, where he always felt like family. If the immediate family needs anything at all, his secondary family and 046 buddy’s are just a call away
Jeanne and Juliana, The loss of such a gentle, talented and kind man will be great for you, but with the help of family, friends, and God you will be able to get through it. I know Mr. DeDominick from attending GSA Jazz concerts. I don’t know if I ever spoke to him, but I could tell he was loved by all.
My deepest sympathy to Caitlin’s family, I”m one of the nurses from Dr. Ellis’s office ;Caitlin holds such a special place in my heart I always looked forward to our chats when she was in the office, Rest Now, Sincerely Stephanie

Caitlin was a beautiful child and a courageous young lady. We will miss her also.
With deepest sympathy to all her family.

Rob and I started on cornet together in 6th grade and played together all through school. We also played and wrote arrangements together in the Virginia Squires Esquire band starting our pro careers at 15 years old. We would discover and listen to record “sides” trying to musically figure out how they did what they did and we ventured out to catch live concerts of Les Brown, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, and some great local jazz combos. We often grabbed our horns and went down to the beach at Ocean View to play into the incoming waves and feeling the music was embedded into our ways of playing. Rob’s mom, Helen, often added me into her Pontiac firebird 400 convertible to give me a partial back seat lift home while Rob sat in the front passenger seat reaching his own foot across to step on her gas pedal revving the motor. I moved from Tidewater after our Granby high school years, but Rob and I stayed in touch throughout our lives. Our souls were never far apart and our reunions felt seamless like the jazz lines we loved.

Rob and I were stationed together in the Navy at Great Lakes. He was such a great trumpet player and musician and great friend. I have so many memories of our time together there. Lot’s of great music and wonderful gigs. Off duty many of us hung out together normally at one of our homes. Rob and a few of us used to make trips into Chicago to shop at some of the Brass companies and would stop at tinder box to check out some pipe tobacco and get what we called a pipe clinic from the older guy who worked there. Was great fun. I have so many memories and stories of those years and with Rob. I want to send my condolences, thoughts and prayers to all of Rob’s family and friends. Heaven just got another great Trumpet player. Fair Winds and Following Seas shipmate. See you on the other side!!🎺❤️

Bonnie and family:
Danny and I were shocked and so very saddened by dear Caitlin’s passing. Please accept our deepest condolences.
Bonnie Sears is a dear friend and she raised Caitlin and her twin Adriane lovingly since they were precious babies. I watched them grow and thrive and turn into confident, lovely, talented, thoughtful, sweet young ladies. They were also strong and upstanding as well. Caitlin and Adriane were the kind of girls you would want watching your kids or grandparents.
I can’t imagine the pain of losing a person like Caitlin. She touched so many people with her music and her kindness. Just a few weeks ago we were crafting with Bonnie and she taught me how to make a paper purse. It was so fun being around her. She made me laugh with her observations of the world.
There are so many memories with the families that I hope you share them and bring comfort to one another.
She was taken too soon. Our angel got her wings. Rest in peace dear heart.
This song always brings me comfort and I hope it brings you comfort too:

You will be missed Coach Ludwig! You were a great coach and educator.
My condolences!! Coach Ludwig was a great man and I had the privilege of playing for him for 4 years at Green Run. Yes, we didn’t win a game but what’s more important are the lessons he taught me, that I utilize today and with my own children/young athletes. You will be missed Coach.

Dear Roy,
Unfortunately, Cynthia and I never had the chance to spend more time and get to know you better but we do remember so well that wonderful dinner you and Quinn prepared for us when we visited Williamsburg on our honeymoon in 1984.
Rest in peace and know that you were loved by many, including those of us who had the pleasure of knowing you if only for a short while.
My deepest condolences for all his family and friends.
You were one of my best friends, we had grown very close over the years and it still doesn’t feel real or fair you’re gone. You felt like a little sister to me in many ways. I will miss your sense of humor and late night text conversations.
I am very saddened to hear this news. I was in Herr Bland’s class at Bayside High. He was the absolute best. My prayers are with his family and friends at this time.
My most heartfelt condolences to the Chambers/Carter families. His greatest pride was his kids and his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Steve loved with his whole heart!!

Pat and family, you have my deepest sympathy. I taught with you, Jack and Paula Abbott at what was then known as Truitt Jr. High School in Chesapeake. I recall that at that time, Bo was playing football at my alma mater, Norfolk State College (now University). My name at that time was Muriel Perkins, and I was Nancy Moore’s student teacher before I was hired as a full- time teacher there. I do recall your excitement about Bo’s experience as a college football player! Again, you and your family have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and your daughters’ father.

My deepest sympathy to Joe’s family and friends. I worked with Joe at NASA off and on for many years, and he will be greatly missed for his sense of humor and general good sense. He made substantial contributions to the science and technical world, but he also made our world and work a better place.
My deepest condolences Kelly, Joseph, Audrey, and Joe’s dear family. It was a great joy and honor to have worked, learned from, and laughed with Joe over a number of years.

Blessed be God for the singular blessing of Joe’s life.

Deepest condolences to the family on their loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I had the privilege of working with Joe over almost past two decades in various capacities. He was a great colleague to work with, a good friend, and we will miss him. A big loss for NASA, and CFD community in particular.
Sending prayers to you, your family and friends during this very difficult time.
Our hearts and prayers are with the family at this time. I knew Joe at NASA since the early 90s when we shared space in a tiny trailer behind the old 1192 building. He was always extremely pleasant to be around and I consider him a valuable mentor as a fellow Hokie aero alum. He made substantial contributions over the years and always had tremendous insight into tough problems. I’m sitting in his old branch head office as I type this, and having so many fond memories of great times together – thanks for everything Joe!
Deepest condolences to Kelly and the family. Alma and I are still reeling from this loss. I keep finding myself wanting Joe’s opinion, only to remember he is no longer there to share it. Joe was always there to help, to solve problems, and to look for a better way. His humor made work fun. Alma and I will always treasure our last chance to travel with Joe and Kelly in Stockholm last September. He did as much as he could for as long as possible – a life well-lived. Thank you, my friend, for all you have given us.
I have known Joe for over 20 years. Joe was my task monitor for over 10 years, for my task supporting High Performance Computing at NASA LaRC. I consider Joe a colleague, mentor and friend. He worked passionately to help create and support the HPC presence at LaRC. Joe was a man or many interests and talents. He always had more ideas and projects in mind than hours in the day! Additionally, Joe was also a great person – who cared about people and encouraged them to be their best. I will miss Joe’s enthusiasm and warm personality. The NASA community has lost a great man!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kelly and family, at this time. So very sorry to hear of your loss. He was a wonderful man.
Deepest condolences to Kelly and family for their loss!
Kelly and family, I am saddened to learn of Joe’s passing. Joe was a wonderful person and always willing to help in any way he could. So many memories from our school days and times past. May you find peace and comfort in the memories that you shared. Peace be with you.
So incredibly sorry for your loss. While my experience with Joe was brief, it was obvious very quickly that he had an enormous wealth of knowledge and experience that was very well respected amongst his peers. Truly a loss for his community in VA as well as his NASA family.
Kenny will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I loved him more than a brother
So sorry to hear about Joe. I never worked with him on an official project, but worked with him on many side projects over the years, to keep the wheels of CFD turning in one way or another. I think that is representative of his contributions to NASA, big and small, and the many ways he helped the rest of us. He was a really good guy with a kind heart and I will miss him.
Working at another center (Glenn) in Cleveland, I first learned of Joe’s early work in computational fluid dynamics by reading his papers; so before ever meeting him, I had high respect for Joe because of the difficult problems he worked on and the technical contributions he made – in the area of turbulent flow predictions. After meeting Joe when he moved into more technical leadership roles, I was impressed and inspired by his influence on others to achieve excellence, ability to grasp the details of a very broad range of technical topics, and his excellent long-term vision. Joe was a tremendous asset to NASA, and his influence will live on. My condolences to his family.
it’s been a long time buddy. I just found out of your passing and I just wanted to say we had some great times together that his lasted me a lifetime. rest in peace Wade
A life well lived on this earth is now home with our God. Prayers for you all.
I’m deeply sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. My sincere condolences to his family. He was intelligent, supportive, and so nice to me. I liked his sense of humor. I never forget his kindness and great help during my tough time, without which I wouldn’t have been here. Thank you, Joe.
My deepest condolences to the Morrison family. The loss of Joe is heartbreaking. I only met him about six years ago now, and I can tell you that I didn’t have enough time with him. Joe and I could talk for hours through wandering conversations, a couple of times sharing our Taco Bell lunches in his office. Joe was genuinely supportive of women in a male-dominated environment and supported me and others tremendously. I always appreciated that he didn’t just give lip service, but acted on his beliefs. He was opinionated and challenging, at times – a trait I learned to love and loath at the same time because often he was right but it meant I had to go back and do more work. In his obituary, his uncanny ability to navigate was mentioned. I remember going to San Francisco with Joe a couple of years ago for a work trip. I had not seen many parts of San Francisco, since I’m usually in and out quickly to get back home to my family. We did have one evening free though. Joe volunteered to show me around. He drove all around San Francisco, showing me the sights, narrating along the way, without ever consulting a navigation device. I never told him this, but that was super impressive to this millennial. I’ll always remember his kindness on that evening – and many other encounters since then. I wasn’t done getting advice and learning from Joe’s wisdom and, frankly just enjoying his sense of humor and the comfort of his company. I’m extremely saddened that Joe’s life didn’t last as long as we all hoped, but grateful that I got to know him. I can’t imagine what you (his family) are feeling, but I hope, eventually, that the comfort you get from the memories overcomes the feelings of grief. I’ll continue to keep you in my thoughts. Sincerely, Vanessa
We will miss your Dad. He was a true friend and for all his gruffness had the biggest heart. He loved all of his family and was proud of all of you.
I will miss his stories and his friendship.

She truly will be missed. Rest in Peace….. Jane.
We are very saddened by the untimely passing of Joe. We worked with him at NASA and appreciated his deep expertise & contributions in modeling & simulation, and open and passionate discussions. May his soul Rest in Peace. With deep condolences to Joe’s family.

I had known Joe as a colleague, branch chief and as a neighbor for over 20 years, and I am really saddened to learn about his passing. Joe was an extremely smart person and willing to freely share his knowledge with his co-workers. I definitely enjoyed many long technical discussions with him on various topics. He was a wonderful person who was always ready to help others and will be greatly missed by everyone who came in contact with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kelly and family and may God give them strength to cope up with Joe’s loss.
Being new to NASA Aeronautics in 2022 and working out of NASA Glenn, my time working for Joe was all too brief. In that time, however, I found myself in meetings listening intently to everything he said. I felt like I could listen to him for hours! I was also thankful for his patience last summer when he took the time to help teach me about an important part of my new role in the TTT Project. Truly a good person…and a great pleasure to get to know and work for him!
It was an honor and a privilege to work with Joe for the last 5 years of my career at LaRC. He was an amazing person: passionate, intelligent, and caring. He will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers for Kelly and the rest of the family during this difficult time. The NASA family is here for you always.
We share in your sorrow with love and friendship. He will remain in our hearts. Please accept our deepest condolences.
I miss you bub
Please, let me express my deepest condolences. I have been privileged to work with Joe in the international AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop since 2003 and recently in a NATO STO AVT group. I have greatly appreciated his knowledge, suggestions, analysis and especially his support in every way.

Kelly and family, please accept my condolences at the loss of Joe! The memorial service was beautiful, and glorified Christ and shed insights into Joe’s heart beyond the workplace, and your family’s love of him. I worked with Joe on and off for the last 10 years, and appreciated his ability to challenge groupthink and to lead by example in doing what was right. His presence is missed in NASA, and I am thankful for his service to his country and the reflection of your family’s love he gave to us. I pray the Lord will carry you with His love and peace and strength in your loss, Dan Williams
Morrison family, my deepest condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of working with Joe for several years on the TTT Project. His contributions and insight made those around him better at their jobs and the project and NASA better as a whole. And he did all this while making us laugh at the same time. Joe will be greatly missed by his NASA family.
I am so sorry for your loss. The wit and intelligence that Joe hasd was epic and made him a delight to know. The world lost a bright light.
Do not weep, but rejoice in her life and that which she celebrated with you. Look at her circle and see the joy she brought forth. Blessed Be.

My prayers and deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved family member and friend. I will forever be grateful for her kindness and selfless care of my son when he was a baby.
Pat,
Carol and I send our condolences on your loss. Bo was a great man in many ways and a blessing to us all. I learned much from him as we shared a few challenges together at FPC. His kindness and patience were tried on several occasions as were mine, but we shared notes and I like to think God worked through us to accomplish his will. We will miss him, but we rest assured we will see him again. May God bless you with His peace and comfort.
Most sincerely,
Rich Engel
We will miss you, Doc.
Dr. Boyd, our deepest condolences to you and your family. Grace Mercy and Peace.
My condolences to the family and friends of Allan Valdez.
Junior High and High School were fun years with Allan and his brothers. Mr. Dimples always got away with murder. He always looked so innocent when he smiled. I will never forget our Texas trip w/my family and his. Allan had a way about him w/everybody. He was everybody’s friend. I never knew Allan to have any enemies. He always had a way with the girls. I could never keep up with who Allan was going steady with though I also don’t think Allan could keep up either. Whose Allan going with this week? Ahh…..Ahh…Ahh…I don’t know? With those dimples he could charm a snake. I do believe the only person he could not pull the wool over with was his mother. Quote from the book “THE HELP” “YOU IS KIND, YOU IS SMART, AND YOU IS IMPORTANT” Allan’s vibe and persona radiated this to others. Allan….you will be sorely missed. Have fun playing with the angels as you walk up the staircase of heaven.
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
Rest in Peace my friend ……Rest in Peace Love Alma
Renny our son, we are so sorry we could not be in attendance for Sylvia’s Memorial due to illness and circumstances beyond our control. Sylvia was a light to us and she is missed so much already! We have had such good times, the cruises we all took I can just see and hear her laughter as I write.
She fought the good fight and we will forever love her.
Renny, you know how we love you so much and will be here when you need us! Mom & Dad

I have soo many great memories with Kathy, she was like a second mom to me all through my childhood. She had the biggest heart, kind, witty, always willing to help others. Her faith was Strong and she did not hide her love for Christ and her family. She will be missed but I smile knowing she is dancing in heaven right now and probably having a cup of tea with Nana. Praying for the Powell/Hoggard family, love you all!!
I first met Kathy at church i think 1988, then someone recommended my husband to help with their car that day was the beginning of a great friendship! her and her mom where my tea buddies almost everyday, I have blessed memories of our friendship, we got each other through some hard time and blessed with good time. I send hugs to you all, please know you are all in our prayers 💓
Kathy,
I will think of you often. You have enriched my life. Save me a seat at the table for tea in heaven. love you girl
so very sorry for your loss
The news comes as a great shock to me. Joe chaired a NATO STO AVT group and I had the privilege to work with him. I remember him as highly friendly and attentive person and it was always a pleasure to see him on a conference. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for Joe. I have known Joe for over 30 years, since my early career days at NASA, and always found him to be one of the most thoughtful, perceptive and friendly people I have ever met. His presence was always inspiring and he will be missed but never forgotten.
Papa…the man, the myth, the legend!
There are so many memories! From camping, traveling the East Coast, hanging out in the back of your trucks, fishing / crabbing, Russian embroidery, beer can airplanes, card games, coming to support me as well as my kids at school events, polka dancing, Alligator races, dinners at the Roma Lodge, all the trips to Busch Gardens & Kings Dominion, Orlowski chicken, being our chauffeur at our wedding….the list just goes on & on. You were always thinking of others and always looking for ways to give back. From serving dinners to the homeless at the oceanfront, to volunteering at Social Services during the holiday season, to helping with maintenance activities at your favorite local campground, and to helping out around the church with whatever was needed. You were always thinking of others. You made a lasting impact on so many lives. You will be missed, but never forgotten. I love you ❤️
Prayers and condolences to the family. May God continue to heal your hearts during this time of grieving.
Scott Junkins,
I was so sad to hear the news that you moved on to heaven so soon – Thank you so much for our friendship and all you taught me at work in Rhode Island.
RIP Scotty.

My condolences to the Family & Friends. Mrs. Hoffman was a wonderful lady and second Mom to me when I was growing up. We shared many great times I could never forget. Rest in peace.
Condolences to the family! Ann, John, Caleb and Haley have been our neighbors for many years. on several occasions Betty had to step in and help out with our kids too. She was a sweetheart!
Carolyn I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. Dr Nesius was the best teacher there ever was not to mention one of the kindest ❤️ He will be missed.
Ann,
May God’s peace be with you in the days to come. I know you had such a wonderful relationship with your mother and hope that your faith sustains you through this transition. J and I will not be able to make the service due to work travel, but know that you will be in our prayers.
Love,
Amy
Paul and Vincent Sorry for your loss. Your father was a good man who thought of others before himself many good memories of when your mother and father camping in Florida near my Fathers house when I was there they were very outgoing to my family we have many good memories and they will be missed. Sincerely cousin John and Maria.
Tim and Becky Pate send our love and prayers to the entire family. Keith was an exceptionally creative person. He was always kind and generous to all he met. May God give the Best family peace and a deep understanding of God’s presence and unfailing love. We love all of you.
Ann, thank you for sharing a little bit about your mom’s life. It is easy to see you carry so many of her divine virtues. You are a beautiful light to this world. I pray you are comforted by the loving memories you’ve shared until you see her again. xo
Your light will forever shine as part of this world. I am sure you are enjoying the many gray kitties as you rest in eternal peace. Friend, you are missed.
Sending love and condolences to Betty’s family and friends. Betty was such a wonderful person to be around. So quick with a laugh, a great conversationalist as well as a wonderful listener. She welcomed us, Cathy’s friends, as if we were her own children. She fed us the most amazing meals, a gift her daughter Cathy has inherited, and to this day her Alaskan King Crab legs and baked potato dinner is one of my all time favorites. There was never a dull moment when she was around, and she just made everyone feel good about themselves. You could talk to her about anything and no matter the seriousness of the subject, we always ended up laughing. She will truly be missed. I am so glad I was able to know her and spend such wonderful times with her.
I love you mom!!! Miss you more than words could ever express. I miss being able to pick up the phone and hear your voice.!!!!!! Love always Ann Marie
Orlowski Family,
I had many wonderful, fun filled times with both Tom and Joan. Singing Italian songs and drinking red wine at the Roma lodge hoping we didn’t burn the chicken for the picnic. I miss them both but have a smile for the lasting memories he left us.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Keith Best. He will always be remembered as part of our church family at haygood United Methodist Church. He was an excellent musician and choir director. May the Lord bless you and keep you all in his care. In Christian love, Hazel and Norman Parron
Nancy was my sister in law for a very few years and nobody could have been sweeter. i enjoyed little Sherri, Brian and Scott. and finally Emily before I was no longer part of the family. Such lovely people. I’m so glad to have known her.
I don’t know what made me Google John today. But I did only to find that he passed away a few months after my Joe died. I remember John fondly and my heart goes out to his wife and daughter. It saddens me greatly to know you are soldiering on without John. I wish I possessed better words, but I hope each day you find some solace.
Liz was a beautiful woman, she embodied the spirit and beauty of Christ. Her smile lit up every room she entered and her kind words will always be remembered.
i miss you
Sending my condolences to the family.
I remember our calls to Barbara, from our bible study group. She was a gem! Enjoyed every call we were able to make to her.
Rest with our LORD!!🙏🏼🌹
Belinda Martinez
Barbara lived a full life! Now her reward is living eternally in God’s House, thanks to her relationship with Jesus! May your grief be lined with joy because of the Good News!
My deepest sympathies for you and your family!
Dear Mom,
I hope you are settled in your new home and I hope every room is purple. I know you’re happy and pain free and that comforts me. I’ll miss you every day until I see you again. I love you to infinity and beyond.
Your daughter,
Sue
My condelences to you and your family Sue. I remember your mom always doing crafts, making jokes, and her smile. So glad she is no longer in pain. Love and hugs.
My deepest condolences to Cathy’s family, friends, and colleagues. She was a valued member of the ODU Libraries and she will be very much missed here.
Cathy,
I as well as the rest of us miss you very much! You were the backbone of this department and made everything seem right. Goodbye, my friend!

My sincere sympathy to Barbara’s family. I’m so sorry for your loss.
We were neighbors & friends. We enjoyed many fun times together…a vacation in Lancaster PA or playing games at Shelby’s house. Many great memories

Happy Heavenly Birthday my friend.. Bandit Missing You!!Luv ya man ❤️🩹🤗🙏🫶
You had an amazing sense of humor. I really enjoyed our visits and lunches over the years. You will be missed greatly.
I have many good memories of Mike from our Monday morning analyst meetings at NASA. He would recount his latest adventures in the local bike races or in customizing a truck, and then we would argue about whether the test acceleration history should be shown in red and the simulation acceleration history in black, or vice versa.
I was lucky enough to meet Bill on vacation in Virginia. On that one visit he proved to be a loving and kind man. He will be very missed. My love and prayers to Glenda (bonus mom) Deb and Lexi.
Gloria, Doug, and Halle, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. Please know that we are thinking of you as you mourn the loss of two parents and two grandparents. 💔
Ms. Barbara was our neighbor for the past 9 years. She was so spunky and always made me laugh when she would stop by the house. At the start of Covid in March 2020, she went door-to-door asking everyone to decorate their porches with Christmas lights to bring joy to all who passed by. I enjoyed seeing her meet up with friends in the parking lot of the church across the road. Covid wasn’t going to stop them from spending quality time with one another! Our rescue dog ran off a couple of times right after we adopted her and I’d get a call from Ms. Barbara that Holly had shown up at her house. No doubt the cold bowl of water Ms. Barbara sat out for her played a part in that! Ms. Barbara was a wonderful soul and my entire family sends our deepest condolences.
I am so saddened to hear about the loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I want to offer my sincere condolences.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thinking of you in these difficult times
I am sorry for your loss Steven. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Please accept my deepest sympathies with the passing of your father. God in His mercy has ended his long suffering and called him home. May God’s love and mercy comfort you and your family.

Happy Birthday beautiful angel. I miss you so much 🤍
John Domingo was the head of the CEBAF (now Jefferson Lab) Physics Division during the critical time of building the experimental equipment to match the properties of the CEBAF electron accelerator.
This involved determining the scope of the equipment that allowed the best physics to go forward (and also fit the amount of money available) and starting the design and construction of the three experimental areas and the corresponding experimental equipment.
As the head of the Hall B Group and project manager of the CLAS detector, I experienced John Domingo for many years as my direct supervisor. John did an excellent job balancing the requirements and requests of the different communities while keeping the best physics output in mind.
In addition, John became a personal friend. Beyong his physics expertise he had a very broad range of interests including classical music, history (especially egyptology), languages, etc.
He will be missed

Sending all my love and support! Trina was always so sweet and always had the biggest smile. She will truly be missed but her light will forever shine.💕💕
My Brother, My Friend!
My family sends our condolences 💐 to you and your family!
We are so very sorry for your loss and pray for peace for you moving forward! But most importantly we are glad she is now at peace with no pain.
We love you very much! Peace and love ❤️!!
I am so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I first went to work at Jefferson Lab in 1992 and was immediately confronted with the AD of physics. He was hard to miss. His loud demonstrative personality was a little scary at first but over time I found a very caring person. He gave me the nickname when I was an admin student of “Little Doins” which I have no idea where that came from. Such and intelligent man but always ready to go to lunch with the admin staff and learn non physics information which he didn’t know. The real life stories we told him at times would cause him to laugh out loud. He was revered by so many and loved by his admin staff. Definitely a force to be remembered. Rest in Peace John.
we used to be neighbors when he lived in Rolla MO
My deepest condolences on Trina passing away. She was a wonderful friend to me since childhood and was like a sister to me. A beautiful human inside and out. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. May she rest in heavenly peace. ♥️ See you again one day, Trina.
Trina was a beautiful person and she will be missed. Sending my condolences to her family and friends.
John Domingo was a big man; not only in size (though he was), but in spirit and especially in his sense of humor. He was a good leader of the physics division, decisive without being dogmatic. And, as Linda has noted, he had an equally big sense of humor. The experimental data centers (the ‘counting houses’) were named in his honor which amused him. He was especially amused that the commemorative plaque was attached to a large boulder sitting in a rock garden. He thought that was hilarious and referred to it as “Domingo’s rock”! He was a good man and will be missed by many.
On behalf of the members of the older Hampton Roads Digital Shutterbug Club, we extend our condolences to the family of Trina Haj. We shall cherish her contributions to our club as only the beauty of her smile exceeded the beauty of her images.
My favorite quote from John, directed at us physicists: You folks are having so much fun you should pay me for working here!
Second favorite, when asked if he remembered the dinosaurs: Yes, when I was a child I had one as a pet.
My deepest condolences to Trina’s husband and her family. Trina was a great friend and we enjoyed spending time together taking pictures and just talking. I will miss her.
Many great memories with Lesley. She had an amazing sense of humor. RIP. You will be missed.

Sincere sympathy on Tina’s passing. Got to know Trina from the Photography Club. She was such a sweet kind soul. I will never forget her. Enjoyed going on several photo outings with Trina and had lots of laughs and long talks. Deepest condolences.
May her memory be a blessing. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest condolences. I enjoyed the photo club excursions that Trina arranged. They really helped bring new life into our club. She was a lovely person.
May you rest in peace, Winston.
Roy and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family. May her precious memories carry you through this difficult time. She was a strong and independent woman loved by many. She was very talented and I remember how much I admired her energy and talent during our teenage years together. She will remain in my heart. It warms my heart to know that she found her true love while here on earth and now she is free of pain, suffering, and limitations. Trina was a blessing to all the lives she touched and for this I am grateful to have had a part in her life.
he was a good friend and will be deeply missed.
I am very sorry for your family’s loss. I first became acquainted with Winston, as well as Donna at VOA. It saddened me so much to learn of their passing, and most recently of Winston’s passing. Please know your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers at such a time. – Jeff Barbour

I learned about Rick’s passing today, which would have been his 73rd birthday. I have many fond memories of Rick, which mainly revolved around Randall knives. I feel blessed that Rick scrimshawed my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary knife, which was a Randall Model 5-6″ with stag handle. See the photo. It was Rick’s 1,148th scrimshaw of a Randall knife. It was presented to my parents almost a dozen years ago, and although my father passed away last November, my mother still treasures the knife. The world is a lesser place without Rick, and I am deeply saddened by his loss, not only for his family, but the Randall knife community. The two Rick Bowles Specials in my collection shall remain in my collection.
Ms. Brightbill was the best! She always welcomed the boys over to the house, and she somehow managed to keep her Sonny in line. No doubt she is with Sam now enjoying the result of a life as a good and faithful servant.
rest in peace Trina.
Eddie was a genuinely nice guy and a wonderful friend and neighbor. He was generous with his time and would give the shirt off his back to someone that needed it. Our family has many fond memories of being next door neighbors to Amy and Eddie. We will truly miss you, Eddie! Amy and Josh, sending love and hugs your way ❤️
Mommy I love you forever and thank you for everything you taught me to be a survivor. Your the best and always will be. I miss you so much.you are in my heart forever.

I’m so very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing and offer my condolences. We had a number of adventures between him, Monty and myself.
Bob opened his wood shop to me to work in during the mid 90s until I moved to California. He brought me into the adventures of caving, and was generous with his expertise and knowledge in many areas of woodwork, carpentry and general fabrication. Bob was an amazing talented mentor and friend. He had a great sense of humor. Bob helped build my house in California, which turned out beautifully, 1/64 of an inch over 70 ft out of square he said proudly after we finished sheathing. Bob was a fearless warrior and consumed life to its fullest. I feel privileged to have known you. Rest in peace Bob.
Love to my beloved brother
S.I.P Jones…🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh, Avon. You meant so much to me over the past 20+ years. Your Eastern/homeopathic knowledge clashed with my Western medicine, yet I learned so much from you. What a sincere blessing it was to know you. Yes, I am sad that you have left us, but I know you still are with us. You were a true fighter. Your resilience and strength gave your beloved family and friends the unique opportunity to say goodbye over a year-piece by piece. What a special gift to us-but that was you.
You are missed, but you are with us always.
Peace to you, my feisty compassionate friend.
My deepest sympathy for your loss! I had the honor of working with Ginny for several years at Sentara Bayside Hospital and enjoyed her company at many dinners out with friends.
Don, I worked with Gin for many years at Bayside Hospital in ICU. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. My prayers to you and your family.
Ginny was always a caring, compassionate, and capable leader of the ICU at Sentara Bayside Hospital. She set and championed expations for quality, safety, and service. It was an honor to work with her.
I’m sorry he’s gone. We didn’t know each other well, but I did enjoy our conversations.
So very sad to hear of Bob’s passing. I met him through the local caving club and did several trips with him. He was a “gentle giant”. Help[ful, patient, soft-spoken and polite … very capable physically and mentally. He often brought his son, Robert, on suitable caving trips. Bob’s upbringing was very evident in young Robert’s demeanor. Always a delight to have him on our trips. Thanks, Bob, for all the time you shared with me.
Prayers are with his family.

Anne I’m praying for you and your boys
I am so sad to learn of your passing and spent the morning enjoying the pictures and video of the fun times we had in Virginia Beach in the 1960’s and 70’s. Rest in Peace. Thank you Eyad for tracking me down to inform me and I wish you well.
To Trina’s family and friends, please accept my sincere condolences. Trina was the nice person we should all strive to be and a very talented photo-artist. She will be dearly missed.
I remember Trina from our family get togethers in Virginia Beach. Trina was always so kind. She made sure we were all able to get together at the beach for lots of fun. Trina was so good to our boys and helped to entertain them while we were there. Dave and I have fond memories of Trina and loved the person she was. We are thinking of you Eyad and your family. I know she will be dearly missed by all.
Tish and I met at work and it began a lasting friendship over 40 years. I could not ask for a better friend. Tish had a heart of gold.

I have fond memories of working with Judi in the Virginia Beach school system. Through most of that time, she was the Foreign Language supervisor. I found her to be positive, energetic, innovative, and an encouragement for the classroom teacher. She had a broad scope of knowledge and was quick to research for answers she didn’t have. I always enjoyed our times together. We even bought her little VW hatchback for our kids away in college. Prayers for her family and friends.
Rest Easy my friend.
she was a wonderful, funny, boastful women.Her smile was everything!! She will be missed, shine bright my friend, just like the angel that you was here on earth. 💕

I have so many memories of Chip,as did Harry.We all had a close relationship back in the day and thought the world of him.He was good at his job and made many friends along the way.Harry passed away July 6 three years ago.Prayers for healing to you and your family.
It was just yesterday that I said to a friend, “I have never had anyone who could fit my glasses on me like Chip.” She agreed! He was so gifted! He could even select frames suitable for me better than I could. I certainly appreciated his good work.
Chip was a good optician and I went to him till he retired. Condolences to the family.

Sandra Walker was a joy to know and be around. She possessed a wonderful sense of humor and we spent many times laughing together. She told the funniest stories about some of the times she’d experienced in her lifetime. Her beauty and light will forever be etched in my memory. Rest peacefully in Heaven, dear friend. You are truly missed. I pray for peace and comfort for Dennis and the family.

Jan and I are deeply saddened to hear of Ed’s passing. He was always such a pleasant and helpful man around Ascension. Please take some comfort in knowing that he is resting at peace with Our Lord.
Wonderful memory I have of Ed is my teasing him
About hunting, I would always ask him well what did
You do today? He would tease me and smile and say “what do u think?
We would both get a good laugh til the next time we saw each other, and so
Here we go again.
“What did you do today Ed” Rest in peace my friend.

Alfred was part of our family growing up. We were all Navy brats and he was one of my older brothers best friends so he was one of my older brothers as well. I had kept in touch with him over the years via phone and e-mail as we lived far away from him. I was very sad when I heard of his passing as he had quit responding to my communications. He will be remembered fondly and missed.My heart is heavy.
Our Dearest Friend Ginny.
Remembering all the fun, happy times we spent together over many years.
We will love and miss her always.
Love

Dear Rocky and beautiful family, Gus and I from st Luke’s parish at the time, once attended your beautiful daughter’s baby shower . I remember gifting her with a blessed virgin statue? And I remember Larry once at First Communion day practice
For my granddaughter , reminding my husband and I to be saying the rosary daily. That was a great reminder to me! I first met you at cursillo where you displayed a beautiful quilt you had made for an auction there. I just yesterday saw it printed in our bulletin at Holy Spirit church of Larry’s passing . My deep condolences to you and your family! And my prayers to all! Kay Johnson. ( Gus passed Jan 9,2022)

We are heartbroken at the loss of this caring friend and neighbor. He is gone too soon. Pat and Betty Lou
Our memories of Ed are of a consummate gentleman of quiet demeanor who brought out the best of everyone. The world was better because he lived.

My Uncle Bill was a totally amazing individual who always knew how to make folks laugh. I was an admirer of his since I was a young person. So good looking, smart and family man.

EJ
so sorry for your loss. thoughts ans prayers for her and you and your family during this time.
Miss you
Lisa was such a fun neighbor! I had the privilege of growing up across the street from the Metcalfes. My earliest memory of her is when she came to borrow a copy of our newspaper as she nonchalantly told my mother Jim had been in a plane accident. I think I was four or five.
The last time I saw her I think my daughter was about the same age. We had such a good talk. It was like no time had passed. That’s how it is with a good neighbor. She was very good to me, I am so grateful to have known her. May she rest in peace.
Attachment
We will miss you Ed, your figs are in good hands.
A wonderful person and woman…she is already missed. We had the pleasure and blessing to know and care for Lisa for decades. I do not get nervous in doing what I do, but I am ALWAYS nervous in the presence of teachers and educators…will I use the wrong tense??? Will I misspell or mispronounce a word??? Teachers have a way of taking me right back to my elementary school years….but Lisa did not make me feel that way. She often was serious when we were together, but if you hit on the right topic, she had a LAUGH that would lift any soul near her. I LOVED that laugh that revealed her….I will miss that.
I love the love story of Lisa and Jim. Sixty years?!?!?!? That is WONDERFUL!!! I was fortunate to witness it and to see it lived out. Jim, it was never more evident than your love and commitment in these last several months when the need was greater than most of us could ever imagine, when so many of us worried, and told you that you needed to care for yourself….but you knew where you were needed. I have always respected and admired you for so many reasons…but your sense of duty is the one that has been in the sight of those who watch you love and care for your dear wife. Thank you for being strong enough to live the example of love within a marriage that has blessed so many of us. Your love, and the love that the two of you shared, has been an amazing gift that you shared, not just between you, but to those of us who have been witness to it.
To her dear children and grandchildren….she loved and cared for you all so much. Over the last 20+ years, most of her time with me has been spent sharing all of the wonder that you brought. You were dearly loved, and when appropriate, bragged upon. 🙂 She will endure in you, branching out from all that she invested into you.
Our prayer, love and thoughts are with each one….just as scores of others who love, care for and support you in this terribly difficult time. How richly we have all been blessed to love and to have been loved by Lisa.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Shelley and Sonny Morrison
Mary, Lindsey, Stephanie and Zach
I only had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Owens once – during a pregame tailgate at Virginia Tech that Denise and I were attending! I will
always remember how kind he was and his obvious love of Virginia Tech football! It was also obvious how much he loved his family! My thoughts are with his family! He will surely be missed!
Miss you mom! Love you very much 💕
I had the great pleasure of teaching with Barb at Point O’View and wanted to say how sad I was to hear of her passing. She was a steadfast advocate for children and went above and beyond in her duties as a teacher. She, often accompanied by her husband Donnie, was at every after school event that was held at POV, dances, Bingo, plays, PTA nights and more. You could always count on Barb to be there helping out in anyway she could, especially cutting all those cakes. We had one big thing in common. We were both born on April 27th at De Paul hospital in Norfolk, although I came around 4 years later. We always acknowledged our “twin ship” whenever our special day arrived. She wore a constant smile and an open heart. The world was a better place because of Barb. She will be missed by all those who knew her.
Dear Miles, I was so sad to read about Carla. I always enjoyed talking to her at Dr Richmond’s office. That smile of hers was a ray of sunshine and always welcome.
My condolences to you and your family. Please give me best to Bev and Rodney as well.
Kim Spillane
Auntie Ginny always made me smile – that’s what I’ll remember most about her – smiling and laughing when I was with her! Her warmth, kindness – to absolutely EVERYONE she met – her humour, and her smile. Her ability to see the good in all – no matter what. Those are the things I’ll always remember, and miss.
I’m so glad my husband got to meet her, but sad our little one never did, but I’ll always tell stories of our special times stateside with ‘Auntie Ginny’.
All our love. Mel, Raphy and Leya Rivi xxx
Dear Amy and Stuart,
I’m so sorry to learn of Don’s death. I have many happy memories of the time we all spent on Sagewood Court. Please accept my condolences for your loss.
Love, Miss Beth
I miss you so much already, you were the best mom anyone could ask for and I am forever grateful that I got to call you mom. It warms my heart hearing and reading all these stories of who you were before I was around, I will carry your kind spirit with me always as a reminder of how great you were/are. Love you, mom.
My beautiful loving sister. You are missed so much. I was blessed to have you as a big sis watching over me and keeping me safe growing up. I have no doubt you are now doing it again wearing a beautiful gown and wings now. I love you always and forever. thank you!
Sending all my love to all of you. John was an amazing husband, father and grandfather and I am just lucky and honored to have been a part of this family for so many years. May John rest in peace in God’s loving arms.
We miss you Charisse. May you rest in peace! Love you
My deepest condolences are with you and your family my friend!
I’ve known Charisse since childhood. She lived 3 streets away from me growing up. She was always a ray of sunshine. Looking forward to meeting the wonderful family that she created and that surrounded her in the years since I last saw her.
I am sad to hear of Ms. Dunstan’s passing. She taught my oldest, JoAnna, preschool in 2005/2006. I have many fond memories of her and her girls. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.
My wife Diane and I have known Lisa and Jim for many years. Lisa was incredibly compassionate and kind. A Saint! And what a wonderful sense of humor. The Rossis of Alexandria, VA, will miss her so. We extend our deepest sympathies to Jim and his family. With sadness, Gene Rossi
Really admired John’s faith in the Lord and devotion to his family. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry Joyce. Just came across this and the obit for Mitchell. What difficult losses these must be.
Lisa and her husband Jim have been strong and active members of the Virginia NATO Association (VNA) and we will miss Lisa’s company at our functions. The VNA Board and the association’s members extend their sincere condolences to Jim and the family.

Barbara was such a special lady, I will forever miss her infectious laugh! No matter what she was going through Barbara always wanted to make sure everyone else was doing good!

Teacher Lisa was such a wonderful part of VBFS. She cared so much for the staff and the students.

I hold her family in the light during this difficult time.
We are so sorry to hear of Charisse’s passing. She was always so sweet to our fur babies! She will be missed. May she rest in peace!
Doris and I want to say how sorry we area] at the passing of Lisa. She was a gracious hostess and understanding friend. She leaves behind a large community of folks who received her kindness and love not to mention her most excellent teaching.

You are still my best friend and my rock. I will forever love you and I can’t wait to see you again when I come Home to you and Jesus.

I am very sorry that I am unable to attend the service but my heart goes out to all of you. Charisse was a wonderful, strong person and her spirit lives on in each of you. Rachel and Katherine, I am always here if you want to talk. You are all in my prayers. With love and comfort, Val
John will be greatly missed. Such a kind man. Hugs and love to the family.
I am so sorry to learn that you have left this earth. However I know that you are enjoying Heaven. Hope to see you there when I get there . Dixon
Rest in peace Omer knowing that your family will be there to take care of each other and your bride. I remember when I first met you almost 40 years ago, you reminded me of Paul Newman with those striking blue eyes and your charisma —such a playful flirt! As I got to know and love your family, I saw what an example to Craig you were to show him how to be a loving and supportive husband and father. And of course sharing all your handyman and mechanic knowledge and skills. All the Livernois’ were blessed to have you as their Dad and Grandpa. May all the happy memories they have bring comfort and may your love for them bring them strength to cope with your loss, especially your bride Anne. Sending love to all.
My love and condolences are with the family 🕊️
Steven we are sad and heart broken for you and the kids. WE MISS YOU GUYS

We have such fond memories of her when we lived next-door when our kids were in kindergarten. She’ll be sorely missed.
Kerri just wanted to give you and your family many prayers for peace. cancer stinks… So sorry I know it’s hard. Peace and great memories only, just remember to good!
Jim, Megan, and Jimbo,
Thinking of you all today. Lisa was my third grade teacher and I fondly remember playing gin rummy with her at lunch time and her reading to us at the end of the day. Before she started reading, she’d walk around the circle and pick up a leg of each student to see if we were full relaxed. In my adulthood, I’ve reflected on the relaxation lesson and how lucky I was to be receiving it at that age. I also got the chance to get to know Lisa again while I Iived with my parents during Covid. I’m grateful for that opportunity. Holding your family in the light today, Annie
Tara had such a beautiful soul, an amazing smile and a way about her that made you feel as if you were a friend for life. She came into my life one special evening, my boys called her blue dress as they couldn’t remember her name- she will always be the most breathtaking women in blue
Dear Richard and Families,
We were so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was such a huge friend, early years neighbor and insisted on staying in touch whereever we all lived across the country. Our Hill/Timmerman families had some great times throughout the years and we always had fun and enjoyed each others company.
Betty was special and always had that big smile in a sincere and caring way. Please accept our sincere sympathy’s as we know Betty will be smiling down upon us.
Our Love

I will never forget the day you were born. I will never forget singing songs to help you fall asleep too. I will never forget the way your eyes lit up whenever there was a Braves game on TV. I will never forget how we could talk for hours about anything. I will never forget what an amazing mom you were. I can not believe that our last goodbye was really our last goodbye. 34 years is just not enough time. You are with mom and grandma now. You were loved and will be missed. I can’t believe my baby sister is gone.

I was blessed to play alongside Chuck for three years. I remember him for his great arm and strong bat, but also as a great team player. We played together on my church softball team, Miles memorial Methodist. Thanks to his leadership and a very good group of Ocean View boys we were VERY GOOD. Thanks for the time I got to play ball with you and being a friend. R.I.P.

Patsy, we are both shocked and saddened to hear of Tom’s passing, but know with absolute certainly that he is in the presence of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whom he loved so dearly and trusted completely. He is physically and mentally restored, with no more suffering to bear. Tom was such an inspiration in his positivity and love for others. He served our Lord with such joy and personal sacrifice. He influenced so many young people through his example and teaching. We are heartbroken with you for your personal loss, and are so thankful to have known Tom and to know you. With so much love and appreciation for you both, Paula and Rowland.

Mr. Ballance was such a great teacher and I enjoyed him very much. I had you as my 5th grade teacher and have fond memories as well.

She is a beautiful soul, and I will miss her deeply.

You have my sincere condolences. I enjoyed meeting Tom as a fellow tour guide. He was always very thoughtful in offering rides to and from our departure points as of course were you. He would check up on me when I was not doing well, as I tried to do for him. He was a very caring gentleman who enjoyed a variety of activities- especially in reference to the church. He always expressed his undying love for you, so I am sure you will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with you.

Steve was a nice person who enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. We were great friends from first grade thru high school, enjoying our local sports teams and common appreciations of Hondo and Sonny and Credence. Going years between visits in adulthood, we picked up our conversations like the the last one was yesterday. While not perfect, his heart was always in the right place and i will miss him. Rest in Peace until I get there and then we can fire up your old Dodge.

Pasty, Tom was more than a teaching colleague for 15 yrs. but a great friend and confidant for over 37 yrs. !

To Betty’s Four Daughters,
We are so very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was certainly a wonderful neighbor of ours on Johnson Street for years. Her beautiful blue eyes always seemed to sparkle when she talked and definitely whenever she laughed. Her kindness expressed to us and her hospitality shared with us will always remain special.
You girls were her life! She loved, admired and boasted about all of you! She may be gone physically, but she will always be watching over you and your families from heaven above.
God needed and wanted a very special angel–he certainly did choose the right one.
May all of your funny, loving and special moments with her help ease your current sorrow. She would want each of you to be happy as she is no longer in pain. She and your Dad will always love you and cherish you!
Sincerely, Janice and Ernest Cobb
I wish to offer condolences from the entire Saunders Family, starting with my mother Jo, father John, Jr., sister Dinah Jo (who are now with Joe), brother John III and our extended family members. Joe was a cousin and treasured friend. I last saw Joe at Lake Taylor, and we talked. I have to stop there. Joe did most of his communicating via internet more so through my wife Cecile. Either way it was always good to hear from him. He was special. I am sure God has had a place waiting for Joe. Love to his family,

Joe and I spent many hours together with Wayne Brown and others, working on helping Ocean View plan for the future. We met every Sat morning for several years.
We enjoyed “the cabin” too on many occasions.
Joe was a special person, I also carried a bottle of wine for him all the way to a restaurant owner in Paris.
Many good memories. Took him some Doug’s hot dogs, the last time I saw him he said he couldn’t eat them any more. So glad we had that last visit
Rest in peace Joe
Worked for Joe in the 70’s and was a lifelong friend, I owed Joe my start in my career.
Bob Lundberg was a special and gentle person. He was a great mentor for people who worked for him.
He was a great inventor.
I sent out the sad news to a distribution of people from Exxon in NJ. I received many wonderful comments about their relations with Bob.

I recognized the character of Joe Hoggard and Ships Cabin before I created a gourmet column in Metro Magazine with Richard and Mili Bass as restaurant critics. Joe was a unique friend. Our family celebrated my 50th birthday at Ships Cabin; and as a surprise, Joe laid out a red carpet (lined with waitstaff) that led to a curbside limo for a night on the town.
I caught Joe at the dishwasher one night, fuming over the waste of bread and butter off plates. His frustration with the waste led to the service of hot baked bread with the unspoken caveat, “Take all you want. Eat all you take.”
Joe had a rare kind of genius that contributed to his lasting friendships. What a great guy!

Laughter is one thing you could always bring out of me, and almost anyone you came across . Those moments I will cherish forever. We love you very much!
I am going to miss you so much bro. We never got to make that pilgrimage to Hatteras.
fond memories of my friend and Co worker Scott. .I will miss our great conversations about family and music and his passion for surfing. I hope heaven has good waves.
My sincere condolences for the family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Deep sympathy to the family and many friends of Joe. He will be missed by our dojo members and fortunately we have so many great beautiful memories of Japan trips, SECEP picnics, and delicious dinners at the Ships Cabin. Joe’s humor, kindness, and energy brought a joy to us all. Thank you Joe!
Joe was a great friend. We were in Paris, Aspen and Norfolk over the years and had many past gatherings at Ships Cabin.
In Joe’s last years my daughter Aubrey and dog Pickles often visited Joe at Lake Taylor Hospital. I know Joe enjoyed their company !
Memory of Joe, Tim McDonnald and my family in Aspen. Joe and Tim were on opposite sides of Ruthies run, both turned to the center simultaneously and huge crash of big guys. Both survived unscathed except for egos.
My family and I will miss Joe but will keep great memories.

My prayers go out to Scott’s family.
Scott was such a big influence in my life. His generosity, his thoughtfulness, his patience, his humor. He tuned my first guitar when i was 11, and even dropped off chord charts with my parents to help me learn. He gave me my first job working at the embroidery shop he managed at the mall when i was 17. He helped my band with our first shows. His music changed the air in the room, and me and my friends loved to watch and listen to him play in his band Churn. He was and still is such an inspiration. I’ll always remember him and look up to him.
Sally so sorry to see this, seems like yesterday he was just a little boy.

The Rev. Harter was pastor at Reformation Lutheran Church, Newport News, where I attended. He was the nicest man imaginable and a dedicated servant of Christ. I so missed him when he left. He married my son and baptized my granddaughter.

It is not fair when a kindhearted person is taken away from this earth so early. I am sad, mad & heartbroken as I can see many other people are. Scott touched many lives on his short time with us.

I met Mylene years ago. while working at Bonefish Grill. She was very kind and friendly immediately! When I started working at the Mexican restaurant next door, her and Bryan always came to visit me to enjoy the margaritas! Her, Bryan and Gio were the ones to take me to Top Golf for the 1st time ever! She always filled the room with so much joy and happiness. I will miss her tremendously! My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Cancer sucks! ¡Te extrañaré Mylene!
There aren’t words for this, Bryan. I’m so sorry.
Sending love, healing, and strength to the family and friends of Mylene. May your memories comfort you during this difficult time.
Mylene’s passing has left a hole in many of our hearts. Words, however kind, cannot mend your heartache, but those who care for you share your grief and wish you comfort and peace of mind. Our condolences.
Bryan,
Michelle and I would like to offer our condolences. We are always here for you. You and your family are in our prayers.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I met Dawn many moons ago in the good ole Norwest days. She was a processor at the time and i was lucky enough to have her assigned to work with me. I remember one time we working on a particularly difficult or time sensitive application and when it eventually smoothed out, Dawn looked at me with that twinkle in her eye smile of hers and said “Girl – You must have an angel on your shoulder!” Needless to say we had plenty of occasions to share a laugh about that angel many times after that. Peace to you my friend.
Your memory will live on forever in the hearts and minds of your loved ones.
May you always remember the wonderful memories that you have shared as a family over the years. Prayers and thoughts are with you.
You will be forever loved and missed, and thank you for blessing our lives.
Such a beautiful story of true love. I hope you find peace in your memories and know she will be waiting for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It’s one of hope. Carry that love with you always.
Brian, my heartfelt condolences to you and the family. God bless.
Mylene was a very beautiful young lady that will be missed. My condolences to family and friends. Even though I did not personally know Mylene, I loved her. She was in my prayers daily. Her sister Jessi is my nephew’s wife. I am praying for your strength, comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. May God be glorified. In Jesus Name Amen!❤🙏
To Bryan, Jessi, Janet, Margie, Mariam, and the entire family: Our condolences on the passing of Mylene. May the Lord Jesus Christ give you strength, peace, and comfort during this difficult time. I only had a few opportunities to spend with Mylene, but in that short time she was truly a blessing. What I remember the most about her was her beautiful smile. Even though we can’t be there physically for her Homegoing Celebration, we are with you in our thoughts and prayers. Take comfort today is knowing that Jesus said,”And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”-John 14:3(KJV) We love you all (Margaret, Nathaniel, and the entire Mack family in San Antonio, Tx)❤️🙏🏽

After Dave & I moved from Norfolk to Peoria if I heard Dave laughing on the phone, I knew he was talking to Tom. I don’t know anyone else who could make Dave laugh so hard. Tom always brought joy and laughter into any conversation. We will miss him dearly! So thankful for his friendship through all these years. Praying for God’s comfort and peace to surround you Patsy.
Today is grammy’s birthday. I miss her so much and I hope she’s proud of me.
John was my cycling buddy during my time in VB. He was such a good guy and friend, I will miss him, his humor and his amazing photos. My most sincere condolences from Treviso, Italy.
I knew John (and Susan) from my tour at Naval Communications, Nea Makri, Greece. He was a hoot then and I sure he still is. He and I use to play jokes on new “hires” in tech control, especially on the Mid-watch, with him playing the straight man! We use to laugh and laugh. He will be missed by many who loved him and knew him. I loved seeing his photos of the wildlife. My condolences to the entire family. RIP Chief, we have the watch. Fair winds and following sails!
I will miss my friend & neighbor. My heart & love go out to his loved ones.
A very dear friend , shipmate and a mentor. It was a great honor knowing John , his humor and his passion. I cried , a lot, when I heard and will miss him dearly but know I will see John again.
sending our condolences to the whole Loyer clan as we salute Uncle Harold in his passing. He is the last of an amazing group of siblings. Uncle Harold and all of tgem are missed–but their memories bring us inspiration to be the best we cam be and to do good works with our lives. We send special, warm comfort to Aunt Carol, a sweet, gracious and strong woman of faith. Blessings on us all.
Devoted, dependable, dedicated, funny, hard worker, loyal friend – these are all things that come to mind when I think of John. We were co-workers for a number of years and through that developed a friendship that I will cherish always. I know I’m a better person for having known John and will miss our chats, lunches, and visits.
My thoughts and prayers are with Karan and his entire family. Find some degree of comfort in knowing that John truly made a difference!
I did not see Donna much but when I did she was always smiling. I will miss seeing that beautiful face at her happy place on 140th in Ocean City.

John,
I believe you will be missed by many and for a much longer time than many of us think you will be.
He had a great life and joy should be taken in that.
My humble condolences and prayers to your family of the loss of your husband, dad, and grandfather! I met John at the Norfolk Police Department Second Precinct. He was mentor and great friend! John was well liked, great sense of humor, always spoke lovingly about his family, willing to lend a hand, great outdoors photographer, and a man who I call my dear friend who will be greatly missed!!! God bless you and may He embrace you with His love, comfort you, and give you peace and strength during this time!
I had the pleasure of working with John at the 2nd Pct in Norfolk, John as an Operations Officer and I was a Police Officer. John was the kindest, calmest and most caring individual.
After retiring, John learned I have Kidney Failure and Congestive Heart Failure. He immediately showed up at my door to offer his support. Over the next couple years, we have stayed in contact by social media and I will always cherish his friendship.
My thoughts and prayers are with John’s family during this difficult time. John will live on in the hearts of all who cared for John!

A ripple effect is when an action makes an impact beyond the original action. She was an absolute fighter who taught us all how to be brave and courageous. We will always love her and her legacy will live on.
I served with John at Navcommsta Thurso…a more genuine and talented person I never ran across…my sincere condolences,,
Dear Mrs. Ballance:
Mom and I were very saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Ballance. He had such a profound impact on my life that I’m not sure words can express. He ignited my lifelong interest in history, geography and politics and his interest in my growth was always evident. Taking his geography class as a sophomore was probably one of the best decisions I made in high school, and one of the fondest memories I have of Norfolk Christian. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of Mildred passing. She was one of the sweetest lady’s I know. As a member of the Red Hat Ladies of Grace she just loved the fellowship with the other ladies and we all loved her so much. She was always so happy when we took the trips to Sight and Sound in PA.
We can all rejoice now that she rest in the arms of Jesus. We will see her again.
I believe that this Bill Spencer and I played football at Catholic Central High School in Springfield Ohio in 1950-51. We had a very good team that year.Bill was the fullback and my position was right tackle. Bill was a talented student and we enjoyed much together though I had not had any comtact with Bill since we graduated high school. That is just the way things happen, sometimes–sad but true. My wife died 14 months ago so I know how hard it is to have a family lose. My sympathy to Bill’s family.
We have so many great memories of Judy. Whether it was sitting on the beach, next to the pool, or chatting with the girls with a glass of wine, we will always cherish the times spent with her. She will truly be missed by our family.
Our thoughts, prayers and love are with all of you.
Love,
The Haleys
I’m so glad I had a chance to know you. You were a special person who will be so sorely missed.
Judy was such a wonderful woman and we’ll miss her dearly. She was always perfectly dressed, never a hair out of place. She made us laugh on so many occasions. I know she will be missed and we were so fortunate to have known her. Sending lots of love to the family. Cheers, Judy! – the Cofers
I was so sorry to hear we lost such a fine man. It was my pleasure and my honor to serve your father and get to know him as my friend. He was such a delight to me I Miss him dearly.Rest in peace
we will miss you dear friend
My dearest Norman thank you for all the love, friendship and adventures. I am thankful for all that we shared together. I will forever cherish the memories. I love you and miss you terribly. Your loving wife, Jill ❤️ 💔🙏
Vicki will be forever missed. It’s been so hard to put into words what she meant to me but in essence, the word is everything. I am blessed that she was my person and that I was hers. I hope to make her proud and somehow continue her legacy of eccentricity. Love you more Vick!
My deepest condolences to the friends, family and beloved wife, Jill on the passing of Norman. Prayers and hugs of support and love to all.
You will truly be miss my friend. Sending prayers
Going to miss my lifelong friend. Lots of memories of all the things we did . Rest in peace my friend
Pastor Hal Harter was the pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Courtland Virginia when I joined the church around 20 years ago. He baptized my grandchildren. My grandchildren loved him and missed him when he retired from Grace Lutheran. He was a fine pastor! We at Grace still miss him. Rest in peace! Pastor Hal❤️🙏 Love, Lisa McCartney
My condolences to all of you in this difficult time. I was devastated and so saddened to hear of the passing of Norman. He was larger than life, dedicated, passionate and loved his friends and family so very much. I enjoyed sharing recipes and hanging out with such a special person, and he and Jill always made me feel loved and accepted and appreciated. I’m so grateful to have known him and so very sorry for your loss❤️
Sorry for your loss

I didn’t know Harold but I know Thor. Have worked with Thor for 15 years l. Thor talked about his dad all the time. So I felt like I knew him. To the family and friends, sorry for your loss
Always a friend and true companion
Love you. May your soul rest in God’s hands.
Sending Healing prayers and comforting hugs. I am so sorry about your loss🙏
Why did you have to leave me , I miss you so much .
I will always remember John for is love of nature. And every Christmas as I put up ALL of my Christmas decorations up him telling me, “You know what goes up must come down and keep it simple”. Those words of wisdom always rang clear in my mind as I put everything back away, thinking he was so right. Shawn and I are praying for Karan and the family. May the peace of Jesus be upon you.
O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day
our brother Norman. We thank you for giving him to us, his
family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on
our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion,
console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate
of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue
our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with
those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Rest in peace Mo.
I know that Velma is at peace now and using that beautifu voice singing all over those streets of gold and bringing as much joy and happiness to our Heavenly realm as she brought to those around her here on earth. Rest now my friend, you are with those who love you most and that’s Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Hosts. I’ll miss you. Vel 💖💚💞
There are few words that do Liza justice. Generous and kind come to mind. I feel fortunate to have had Liza as my friend, to have experienced her warm smile. My heart hurts for your family. Reach out if you need anything.
Kathy Sievert
Liza was a wonderful person and spent many hours facilitating NAMI support groups. Countless people benefitted from groups she led. We are happy we had the opportunity to get to know Liza, and are appreciative of her volunteer spirit and willingness to help others. She will be missed. Jen Williams, Affiliate Director, NAMI Coastal Virginia
My heart goes out to Derek and family. Liza was a beautiful person with a heart of gold. She will be missed.
Karan..
So sorry to hear about John. He was one of my favorite people.I have been pleasured to have been a part of his journey through sobriety. Even though we were miles apart we still managed to keep in contact and help each other through life’s little bumps. Fair winds and following seas to a great shipmate.
With great sadness we hear of our nephew, Steve Prevo’s passing. May he enter into heaven joining his Prevo relatives and his friends. God Bless you Steve. We have many happy memories shared by your cousins. RIP 🥰😍
I knew Steve for the past year and he was a kind and soft-spoken man. I was so sorry to hear of his loss. My prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.
I went to highschool with Jack at Cairo Central School in Cairo New York. Jack was always involved in sports and we shared in a friendship during. those years.
In his last days here with us, Jack and I spoke about those good times in highschool and his love of our classmates and others still showed in him.
Jack, may you be rewarded in the Heavenly Kingdom for your love for others and may your soul rest in peace.
In memory of John Fisher III, Deacon George Ferraioli lit a candle
so sorry to hear, rest easy buddy.
I am delighted that I reconnected with Joe. My mother, husband and I enjoyed going to the Ships Cabin to dine and see him in his true element. I will always regret not having the time to visit him the last time I was in Norfolk.
My sincere condolences to your family at this time of loss. May you rest in peace.
It was a pleasure working with Steve. Always easy to talk to and more than willing to offer his help. One great trip together was going to Camp Lejeune to ride out to the USS Wasp to do a survey. Just a great guy to be around. He will be missed for sure.
Fair winds and following seas.
We are praying for you all at this very sad time and send our love to you all. Try to focus on all your wonderful memories and lean on God to see you through. Ed and Susan
Liza was always full of love and had so much compassion for everyone around her. She will be missed greatly, but there so many good times and memories to carry us forward. Sending all my love to her friends and family.
My friend Donna, I will never forget you and will think of you often. I know we will meet again one day and I will look forward to that day. You were a very special friend and a very wonderful lady. You will be on the top of my list to meet you again. Love you my friend I will miss you so much.
Praying for the family of Donna for peace and comfort. She will be greatly missed.
I remember, as a small child, being unable to breathe. I was told that mother and my sister and myself were sheltering with my Aunt Donna in Sioux City Iowa after my father and mother divorced. I don’t remember much besides falling into darkness and waking in an oxygen tent in the ICU. She brought me a green stuffed dragon 🐉 that became my constant companion for many years. We soon moved and although my memories of her are few, that dragon protected me at night and provided comfort far longer than any poor stuffed dragon should have had to. I have so much appreciation and regret, for not knowing her more.
I didn’t know her but she was my grandma
I am close to you ,your son and the rest of the family. A big hug. 💔😥
my deepest condolences Bobbie 💔.
Josephine & Bonney
I’m so glad we were raised in the Era of the 60s. I honor the wonderful parents in our community….Hillary Clinton said ” It takes a village” well it did on 35th, 36th, 37th street. whether the families had both parents or single parents, our community really cared for one another. Mr. & Mrs Flack were pillars in our neighborhood, I remember Velma, the singer, lol. Doris often said she would make up songs, one in particular that made me laughed uncontrollably. Please know our thoughts are with you and we send lots of LOVE.

To Bonnie & Josephine : From the Brown Family Delores, Doris (Dottie), James(Jimmie), Denise and Doreen our hearts was really broken when we heard the news of Velma’s passing, we send our Love & condolences. On 36th street where we all lived was like a big happy family. I remember on Sundays Mr. & Mrs. Flack would play their stereo and invite the neighborhood kids to their home , we would dance & have fun.

Steve and I always joked that we were each other’s favorite cousin. It really wasn’t a joke. (Don’t tell the others). He was a special person and will always be remembered fondly by me. I will cherish all the times we spent together at Christmas Eve celebrations at Grandma’s house, times out at the lake on the island, and other family get togethers, including an epic trip to Cedar Point! I can still hear him joking and laughing. I only wish we had lived closer so that we could have spent more time together in our adult years. He will be missed by me as well as many others. We are all heartbroken to have lost such a wonderful person. Sending a big hug to you Barbara and to Kyle also.xxoo❤️
We will miss you dearly Nana Fran. You will always be remember for your kind, big heart and loving energy. Rest in peace sweet Nana.

We’ll miss you, Fran.
It is with great sadness that we have lost our great friend and pew partner at church.
Richard was always sooo friendly and accepting of others. He always had a smile on his face, a positive comment that was funny, and an acceptance beyond words. After we quit going to church services because of the pandemic, we kept in contact with Richard via telephone. Heaven had definitely received a wonderful angel with Richard. He and his family are in our prayers and thoughts. Good bye, friend, until we are reunited again.
R, I..P. my dear friend, Velma. my friend since 1st grade. Our parents were also life long friends in NC. HHS Class of 1967
Although I didn’t have the opportunity to get to know Amy, she sounds like a well loved person. Prayers for the family.
May your happy memories give you peace and comfort during this challenging time. Know that I am here, you are not alone and that I love you
Love you Maddie
My heart aches for you during this difficult time. Please know that I’m here for you and will support you in any way I can.
Liza was an amazing woman who touched the lives of so many. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
From the first time I met Donna, I knew I had found a best friend. we laughed together, cried together, and talked endlessly. We shared so much and I loved her deeply. She was the strongest person I have ever known. I will miss her but I know she will always be in my heart and thoughts daily. love you Donna.
To our son,
Love never dies, your wife’s love is everlasting. You complemented each other like no other couple I know. May your precious memories bring you comfort.
We are so sorry for Richard’s passing. We are great friends with Sharon, Richard’s daughter, and have followed the adventures of Richard over the years which were many. A life well lived. We pass our condolences to Sharon, Chris Withers and family.
Sincerely, Carol and Steve Lentz
Fly high mom! 🪽 I miss you terribly
Mom Perkey was a part of my childhood and beyond. I ate many a meal over her house. I’ve known Mr. and Mrs Perkey for nearly 60 years. Rudy and I have been Best Friends for that long.
Mom Perkey invited me to dinner every time I was there playing in the backyard with Rudy.
There were many Christmas eves and some mornings together. Mom Perkey always wanted to make sure I received a gift on Christmas or my birthday that I really wanted. One year she even got me a new distributor for my 1966 Mustang!
She made the best brownies I have ever had and always steamed the rolls when she made Hot Dogs or BBQ.
When Dee and I moved out of Virginia I made sure I would call her early on Mother’s Day. More times than not she would laugh and tell me you beat Rudy!
Her and Mr. Perkey attended my wedding (Rudy was my Best Man). Mr. And Mrs. Perky we’re even the God Parents of our oldest Son Eddie.
There isn’t room to tell all the stories I can remember about mom Perkey. I just know she was a part of our lives for many years and I thank God for that.
John 11: 25-26
Rudy and Dolly and Family you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love you Mom.
Rest in peace 🕊️
We would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family
Tierney, Rabea and Colin I’m so sorry about the untimely passing of your mom Monique. Although I hadn’t seen her since her last visit to Michigan, I think fondly of our fun days growing up with all the Aunts and Cousins. I’m so happy that she was able to get to know the grandkids and enjoyed her time with them. I know her passing leaves a big hole in your heart. May she rest in peace.
Liza was a joy to know and will be greatly missed. To Derek, Tracy, Eric and Jon, may wonderful memories bring comfort during these difficult times. We will pray for peace and keep you and Liza in our thoughts today and always.
Rest in Peace Teri🕊️

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to the family and especially NancyLew. My prayers are for your comfort and peace.
I had the pleasure of working with Steve for the past 5 years here at MARMC. He was the electrical planner for my shop and i would come and talk to him a couple times a week regarding parts and stuff. This past year I switched jobs and I joined him in planning as the other electrical planner and I sat on the other side of him. We had a very good relationship and he was always there to help me out. We kept it light and we would always joke around. I will miss him and our daily talks. He had a wealth of knowledge and I knew if asked him about something he had the answer somewhere. My deepest condolences to his family.
I was so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. I always enjoyed hearing about his many travels from Sharon. There were always interesting stories to tell. She and her Dad certainly shared a love of travel. My thoughts and prayers are with Sharon and the rest of the family. God Bless. Fondly, Norma Stone
I hadn’t seen Laurie in many years, but remember her youthful spirit and how much fun she and Lewis were. My condolences 💐 to him for losing his “twin”. With love.
How wonderful it was to have had the privilege of getting to know Nancy whilst she was still well enough, and be able to speak with her on a few occasions and share photos etc. A reconnected family through quite miraculous means. Love has no concept of time nor limit. It is not bound by miles that separate. Family is and always will be connected no matter where our individual lives may take us. Be it in this world or in the next….
My prayer now is for Nancy’s family who I know will be filled with such sorrow. I ask humbly Lord that you send your Angel of mercy to tenderly soothe and cool the brow of those that grieve and bring to each family member a convicting knowledge that only the Holy Spirit can endow that this is not a Goodbye but merely a pause before we all meet once again.
Blessings and love from Elizabeth, Ernie and all your extended family here in Australia.XX
A candle lit here in memory of Nancy reminds us of the same light that now glows ever more brightly in heaven. Love always Elizabeth, Ernie and family xx
My deepest condolences to the entire family.
Maureen and family,
First and far most I am so sorry for your loss of Maureen way too young. I remember Maureen from her time in youth group and I’ll always remember our first trip to Mount St Mary’s for Mount 2,000 and beyond. What an awesome experience for you as a youth and for me as a leader to watch the youth praise and worship god along with our wonderful sleeping quarters on the floor under the loud heaters. May you rest in the arms of your eternal father. May your husband and children continue on holding your memories in their hearts
God Bless,
Kathi Krichten
Miss you sister! Hope you are at peace and enjoying your reunion with Mom, Dad, Nana, Buddy and young Matthew. I carry your smile with me always. xo Tracey
Lee, there isn’t a day that I don’t think about you and I miss our talks. Hope you are at peace and we will meet again one day. Love you!
I still think of you as I enter into the building to work. Very pleasant person. Amazing artist. Rest Well 🙌🏽🙏🏽😢🕊🕊🕊💗
Daughter of Hunter Blake. But named after my mom. For Fair Lady Pure of Heart in the House of God. May God pass Judgement if he never asked for forgiveness and have mercy on his soul. If not there is a special place in hell for his misdeeds.
He sexually molested me, disowned me, and married so I wouldn’t inherit any of my grandmothers possessions. The woman who married my father told me I couldn’t attend the funeral of my father. She had a criminal history of fraud the private investigator said and glad I didn’t know her. Never produced a Will. And when I told about the other children he was talking to with sex pedophile names that the PI sent to me after my fathers death she didn’t seem to care. Let’s you know the person she is and he was.
P.S. if this is going to the wife who has a history of fraud that the PI said hope she rots in hell too and will make sure to say something at her funeral.
whenever she dies of old age. And will keep an eye out for it so I can attend my step mothers funeral who said I couldn’t attend my dads. Just to tell about her fraudulent forging of sigs the pi said she did and how she cheated me out of saying goodbye. And how she knew my dad was a sex offender and didn’t care.

And how she knew my dad was a sex offender and didn’t care that he was talking to kids. It’s not illegal to speak the truth at a funeral and will have plenty of pictures to back it up. The point being that I was denied to say something in regards to how I knew my father and who he really was. A coward so will make sure I speak and come unannounced as a fair trade so her friends know exactly the truth about her. Have a good life. Knowing you took money from children your husband molested.

Oh it said duplicate didn’t know it posted. Anyways thanks again for robbing me of speaking the truth on my fathers grave. May you live the remainder of days with that guilt.
She was a wonderful person.
I feel privileged to have met Mo and be there for the birth of her baby boy Leo! Such a beautiful person and lovely family. My deepest condolences to her family.
My Peach, my kindred spirit, my bosom friend;
You came into my life unexpectedly. I made ine small decision to try to get an Usborne Airplane Busy Book for free, for my then 1-year-old. Enter, Maureen…who quickly became Mo, very quickly not a single day passed that we didn’t talk. All of these years later; 3 babies treasured and 3 more babies welcomed, so many books read and shared, so many laughs, so many tears, so many homeschool PAYDAY celebrations – all of these years later, you left us just as suddenly.
I will miss you for a lifetime, I will love you even longer. Thank you for leaving 4 beautiful pieces of you, and for loving Mark so perfectly that even he is a piece of you. Now we can pour all of the love we still had to give you, still want to give to you, into your family still here. Just as you would want us all to.
I love you, my Peach! ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about the Lorraine’s passing. We went to school together and she was a good friend of mine. We lost touch for many years and then reuntied a few years ago. My condoloences to her daughter Grace.
We are so sorry for Richard’s passing. We enjoyed him as a neighbor for many years in Alanton and have wonderful memories. He was always kind and funny. We enjoyed being invited to the dinner clubs hosted by him and Dot. He was always positive and all the memories of his stories and jokes make us smile. Thinking of Sharon and family, and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are thinking of you all today. Sending love and prayers from Seattle.

I am so happy Mark brought you into our lives. You brought so much joy, calmness, peace, fun, unconditional love, understanding and love to us all. Holidays and get togethers were a bit brighter with you there. We had so much fun. You were the best Mom to your 4 little ones. I have learned so much from you. You were my rock. My sounding board. My friend. My daughter. Someone I could always get the best advice from. I love you so much and the journey forward will be difficult without you here. You have touched so many.
Such a beautiful soul gone far too soon.
Love you Mo ❤️
Love Patricia/LooLaa/ Mom
My parents, George and Marj Crump, my brother, ((Rick Crump) and I were great fans of The Ship’s Cabin and Joe. We were there on almost a weekly basis. The food and restaurant was outstanding and always had a great meal. Joe will be greatly missed by all that knew him. RIP Joe!
Thank you for being a wonderful grandma and great grandma. We all are going to miss you !
Sending love and hugs to family and friends
We are so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. He was an incredible man who always had a smile, handshake, and positive attitude about life. I remember when he first joined St. Michael. He would come to the church office and we would chat about his wife, his sadness over her passing, and how he loved it at St. Michael. We miss you, Richard.
Praise God for bringing you into the life of the congregation at St. Michael.
Sending love and condolences to all of Alma’s loved ones. She was a remarkable woman and an inspiration for all. She is greatly missed. It has been my honor to know her. I’m forever grateful for love and blessings she shared with my family and I across the heartwaves. Dearest Alma, rest in peace 🌹🌹🌹
I was so blessed to have known and loved this remarkable woman. My prayers and love to her family.
A shining star she will always be. Forever loved, remembered, and missed. Farewell, dear Alma.
I joined Alma’s Facebook page only this year. but she made me feel as though I was her very special friend. I have a feeling everyone had the feeling. I also feel like we were all graced with the presence of a saint. Because of her example, I will try just a little harder to be a better person day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute. Thanks to the family, and especially Linda, for their efforts on her behalf through that transition into God’s loving arms.
Love to all of the family in losing such a beautiful soul.
Alma and I worked together at A.R.E. In 1971, and I worked there again in the 1980’s and 1999. I have wonderful memories. She helped me one time with my migraines. I was definitely on her FB list. She will always be with us in spirit
Alma’s presence with our small lunch buddies’ group was always enjoyed by all of us. She was a sweet sweet Lady and such a giving warm person, as is her daughter, Linda!
It was an honor to help support you through this difficult time.

Uncle Bob was a remarkable man. I will always love him💕
What a courageous pair – Bob and Gail! To say their lives together are an inspiration to us all is certainly an understatement. I can only imagine the large crowd of family and friends waiting on the opposite shore who welcomed Bob as he began his next assignment, making all those around him laugh with glee. Gail and boys, job well done! Susan Wilmoth
We would like to light a candle and offer our condolences. Joann was a wonderful and kind person to know and work with. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. We send hugs and prayers of comfort.

All my love and prayers go out Alma and her family. Her and Linda are two of the most loving and caring people I’ve come across. They always managed to make my day at work so much better and full of joy. I hold them very closely in my heart.

Lee was the embodyment of WTH culture, she was caring, insightful, always willing to lend a hand and always considerate of others. Our little world is a little less sunny without her here nurturing and guiding us. She’s truly missed!
Lee, you are so missed at WTH. I always enjoyed getting to work one on one with you and your kindness and empathy made some hard times better. Love to your family and friends, you were a gem.
you for ever be in my heart, and I am so grateful to have been blessed to have your support at World Travel Holdings and your friendship.You will be missed
I was in Great Lakes RTC recruit company 915 where Rob was our “rpoc” recruit chief petty officer. I knew he was a genius immediately upon meeting him and he was a natural and completely effective leader. I respected him enough both as a leader, musician and friend, to look him up after all these years – never forgot him. Condolences to his family. Have no doubt, he was great.
Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time!
Sending prayers and strength during this sad time.
Susan, my condolences to you and your family. May God provide peace and comfort in ways that only He can.

My sincere condolences to you all. I worked on the 2nd Grade team with JoAnn for many years. She was a kind-hearted, dedicated educator. My favorite memory is of the day JoAnn forget to put on earrings – she was always dressed and made/up to the hilt and this really bothered her. Somehow, she managed to find a pair of earrings from a co-worker and happily went on with her day. May she rest in peace.
Dear Susan – So sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. He always had a kind word and a big smile for us all. Thinking of and praying for you!
Missy, David & Family, I’m so very sorry for the loss of your precious mom. Though I haven’t seen or talked to Lois in a long time, every time I spoke with her, it was obvious that you all were the light of her life. I’ll never forget that sparkling smile and infectious laugh or her ability to always lift my spirits with her kind words and deeds back when we first moved to Virginia. I always looked up to her with awe and admiration. She will be missed. Love and prayers to you and all the family. Karla (Bob & Betty’s daughter)
I am so sorry. You and Bob had a very special relationship and that is such a blessing. Wrapping you and your family in hugs and prayers. Much love, Sherril
I’m so sorry to hear about Lorraine’s passing. I went to school with her many years ago. My condolences to her daughter Grace.
I am so sorry I never had the opportunity to meet Bruce. I know how much you loved him with the testament of a 43 year marriage. Mt thoughts and prayers are with you and family during this time. Please do not hesitate to reach out for anything.
Elwood was one of those personalities that you always remember. He had a great heart and friendship always to those he knew and worked with in the grocery business. My friendship with him was through the Belo grocery store where my ex-wife Jane worked for a long time. Back then the employees and their families were all part of the Belo family with many get-togethers and outings. Elwood always participated and brought fun and good cheer with him. He carried that friendly attitude with him every day he worked and always greeted customers like they were his personal friends. Elwood will be missed, and I am grateful for having known him. My sympathy to the family on your loss.
Dear Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you in this time of mourning and I offer you a big hug. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers. Denise Bowman
Dear Susan and all of Bruce’s family
I am so sorry to learn of Bruce’s death. He was a joy to know and has been missed here in Boone. May he rest in peace.

Dear Susan and family,
It was always a pleasure to have Bruce as a part of any function we attended. We fondly remember discussion about our area when you were looking to come to Appalachian. We also enjoyed discussing boating. It was a pleasure to get to know Bruce. We send our most sincere sympathy on his recent passing.
Loving thoughts from Faye and John
Gail, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. Take care of yourself and your family. I hope to make it to the funeral.

I will miss you so much Daddy.
Sorry for your loss .I enjoyed working and traveling with ” TC ” as part of the Tiger Team . Jimmie Gray
It’s almost 5 years since you had to go; Soul Sisters should not be separated this early in life. I know you are flying free Butterfly, but I wish you were here. I miss you so much, I keep my reminders of our great friendship close and think of you often, wanting to call or come over and share. I read our texts today; there weren’t a lot as we usually had a lot to say, too much to type 😉, but there were reminders of your last days and what we were doing and sharing. I went on FB, scrolled back years just for the memories; of course the funny thing is that because you loved that photo of us, it will be forever 😋, but I am so grateful we had that moment in time, we never know what is to come 😔. BFF’s 💜💛🦋🦚
Aww Elwood was a nice man . I remember his parents as a kid . We used to go by their house and visit them and their little dog “Bart”? We used to sit at their picnic table and talk to Mr Craft for hours. I will always remember Elwood on his moped. I will miss them
A beautiful woman that will be greatly missed. ❤️ Love, Hugs and Prayer to the family.
Sabrina,
Our time with you was limited but beautiful. I will forever be thankful you came in to our lives. We waited forever and it was so short lived… but worth every second. Watch over your siblings. We love you sweet girl. 💙
I will forever miss my very dear friend. I loved her dearly!! She is free of pain and suffering now. She has gone home to be with Jesus.
Bob was a good friend and colleague.
Thoughts, prayers and love to the family.
So sorry to hear. Prayers to family and friends.

My deepest condolences to the family. I knew Karen through Jeff. My few times meeting her, she left a very lasting impression. She had a beautiful compassionate soul and you felt like you had known her for years after visiting with her. I know she will be deeply missed by her entire family, but Jeff will no doubt be impacted daily by her absence. Take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and in a much better place with her parents, and will always be with you in spirit and watching over you. Heaven gained another beautiful Angel. God bless you all.
Regards,
Dee Rilee
Chuck was my cousin. We called him Chuckie when he was little. His father was my Uncle Cliff, my mother’s brother. He was a great kid. He grew unto a great adult. He was so helpful to my mother. I cannot believe that he has passed.
Betsy was a very sweet, kind hearted lady, she was loved by all that knew her, she will be greatly missed
Thank you for your messages and love. We will be planning a “Celebration of Joe’s Life” for a later date. If you would like to be notified please provide your preferred contact information so we can reach out to you.
I am so sorry to hear this. Sue will be very missed, she was such a kind hearted and thoughtful person. Many many good camping memories with Her and Paul. Thoughts and prayers for her family and friends. Rest in peace Sue.
I wish I had got more time to get to know my cousin. We lived in different countries but all our interactions were pleasant. Now she is hanging out with my mother in heaven. <3
It’ll be 2 years since you’ve been gone in 3 days, I miss you and love you. Not a day goes by where I don’t cry and think about you. I miss you so much pawpaw. I’ll see you someday
Love you Uncle Eddie. Rest in peace. 🙏
What a life, what a legacy he leaves! — in the medical profession but especially in his children and grandchildren. I remember his love of gardening (just like my Dad) in the late 70’s in Charlotte. I loved talking with him at Josh’s wedding – it had to have been 25+ years since I’d seen him, but he remembered me and we had a great conversation. So glad you could all be with him at the end of his earthly journey… I am sure he is now making beautiful music and enjoying his role as Chief Gardener in his heavenly home. Sending love to all the family. Raise a glass to Doc Joe for me this weekend.
My most sincere condolences to the family. I miss your laugh and seeing you in the work vehicle running in the field. I know that your smile is bringing joy to others in heaven. Thank you for being such an excellent coworker. We love you and Blessings.
The family has our deepest condolence from Reverend Doctor William H. Ballard and the Evergreen AME Zion Church. May God give your strength for today and the days to come as you mourn the loss of your precious loved one.
I met Steve at ODU in 1975. We were close friends for many years, lost touch, reconnected, lost touch.
I wish I had stayed in his life. I thought of him often through the years, and I am glad he was surrounded by loved ones and was happy.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Sometimes love needs to travel through the ages to find the right time to touch your soul. Thanks for catching up to me. I love you sweetheart.
Jeff and family, we are deeply sadden over the loss of Karen. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I love and miss you very much Uncle Tommy I’m sorry I didn’t get to make it but I know you know I’m there in spirit 💜

Rosie was such a sweetheart I met her while working at Sentara Bayside she was so selfless. It’s hard to find a coworker like her. She’d help you do whatever you needed her for and we really loved her. If you didn’t like Rosie there was something wrong with you. She was such a joy and we continued to keep in touch after I left and started working on the peninsula. I’m so sad about this she was such a gem. Other thing I appreciate about her is that at times she asked me about my face and I will share with her what I believe according to my faith. some people don’t realize that your faith is what makes you who you are but Rosie realized that. Having said that this is what I believe simply put the Bible says that the dead are in the grave awaiting resurrection. John 5:28,29 they are not suffering or in any kind of pain for the dead no nothing at all Ecclesiastes 9:5 they can neither help nor harm us because there is no work nor planning or knowledge or wisdom in the grave Ecclesiastes 9:10 lastly I believe with the Bible says when it says God will do away with death forever 1 Corinthians 15:26,55; Revelation 21:4. I think that’s why Rosie likes me so much because I bring help and I’m such a free spirit much like she was take care of your family you Are in the prayers and thoughts of many.

We love and miss you so much.

Richard was a funny, down-to-earth, sensitive curmudgeon who brought laughter and common sense to every occasion. He was well-loved by family and friends alike. He is missed keenly!

Dear Holland Family,
I recently returned from traveling and asked a friend living at Harbors Edge did he know how I could get in touch with Phyliss so that we could catch up. I am sorry I did not know she had passed away. The Small’s lived across the street from Bob and Holly and Jack was my dad’s cousin. I had known your mom my entire life and I will certainly miss her and all of her talents.
Sincerely, Billy Small
I worked for Roger many years ago at InterFirst (NYC). Always a fair and knowledgeable mentor. RIP
Ron was a true gentleman, and was a wonderful respite caregiver. His kindness and caring made a huge difference in Jim and Helen’s life. It was heartwarming to see how he put the caregiving skills he mastered in caring for his wife to further use in the respite care program.
May peace be with all of the family.
Deep condolences in the loss of this lovely woman to her family and loved ones! I was one of the people who benefited from her daily prayers. You will be missed but forever remembered for a generous life so well lived!
I did a google search on my granddad and found out today 11/07/23 that he passed on the internet. This is so heartbreaking to find out this way. My earliest and best childhood memories include my grandad. No one mentioned this to me or called me about this nor was my name mentioned as a grandchild. What a terrible misfortune to be born into this family.

Gloria was a ray of sunshine and the epitome of grace. One of the best decisions we ever made at VB P&R was hiring her parttime (at first) to help with the senior citizens program. They absolutely loved her and she was such a pleasure to work with. Her boys were her shining lights – even with their occasional acts of mischief. The heavens are certainly brighter with His newest star.
Thank you Ercelle for your very kind words.
Cheryl and Stefanie
Sending our thoughts and condolences. God speed to her. She was quite the no nonsense woman who will be missed.
All our best, Raeanne & Ed Brideau
I am so sorry for your loss. She loved you both fiercely. RIP Mary.
Dear Gordon,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your lovely wife. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I know she is the one who made you such a happy person!
May her memory be eternal and may those memories sustain you and your family in the months ahead.

Condolences to the Manley family. We grew from children to adults. God fearing, we learned from great parents . Praise God for his blessings.. The Fitzgerald family..
Your mom, my Aunt, was truly the kindest person I have ever met. Each time I spoke with her, I felt at peace. That is a gift. I wish I spent more time with her. Praying for you all.
What an amazing women!! Alma was our next door neighbor when I was a kid growing up. I loved your mom’s smile, the crafts she would make out of leaves, the smell of gardenias in your yard, and the confusion I had when I first noticed my first twin. I am so sorry to see she has passed. We all loved your family and always appreciated them looking after mom when I moved to Chicago. I would have to say I miss those times!! My dad would tell me I had to come home when the street lights came on, but sometimes someone would kick them out. (LoL) God Bless Y’all you are in my heart and prayers!! Hugs!!
I have such fond memories of Gloria. I worked with her for many years at Virginia Beeach parks and recreation. She so loved “her seniors” and she was so amazing with them. she was such a beautiful woman inside and out.
Carley, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest easy friend.
Happy Birthday Sallie; love you.
On behalf of the G.W.Carver class of 1968, our sincere condolence to the Manley family. We will always have fond memories of his genuine smile. May you be comforted in knowing he is resting in God’s loving arms and with a smile.
Rest in peace Uncle Eddie. We love and miss you very much.. Always on our minds and forever in our hearts! 😥❤️
You are all in our thoughts. Joe was one of the kindest individuals we’ve had the pleasure of knowing.
I knew Sue for several years. We volunteered together helping wild and domestic animals alike. She was not only compassionate to the animals but helped encourage fellow volunteers as well. She was a champion for those without a voice, I was honored to call her friend and all of us, human and furry who knew her will miss her terribly. BUT the world was left a better place for having her presence in it. Iam certain she is over Rainbow Bridge today playing with all the creatures she encountered and loved through the years. Hug them for me till we meet again Sue.
Rita, you know we are here for you and are available for visits, calls or whatever else. Please stay well. Our prayers are with you and your family.
she saved my life.may god rest her in peace.Love you allways Deb
may he rest in peace 💗
Kevin and Family, Chris was an amazing person and an animal lover, I remember the elderly Bassett hound y’all rescued years ago. I remember Chris and I conversating about the reason she rescued her, Chris wanted to make sure she lived her final days resting and enjoying life and I hope she did the same.
I am sorry for your loss. Barbara was a lovely woman to work with for the last 6 years. No one has ever been more helpful during inventory than her. She was delightful to everyone around her and her spirit will be missed.

Dear Pearl and family, So sorry to hear about Merry. My Jamie has cancer and is in hospice. Hopefully Merry will welcome him in the next week or so when he’s in heaven. God bless you all and no matter what trust God!
What a gift Merry was to us. She had her daddy mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Her mother’s heart of kindness and compassion
Our hearts are broken with each of yours. Yet, God in His mercy released her from her sickly body and long term illness.
We carry you all in our hearts and prayers. The God of our Lord Jesus Christ the God of eternal (never ending always and forever) comfort comfort you. Hoping to join you for the celebration of Merry’s life if possible. Merry knew she was loved. You all treasured her well
Bill and I were so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I know it was a shock to everyone. You and your family are in our thoughts at this hard time.
I grew up with Merry from Arrowhead Elementary thru Kempsville High.
I gave her a pair of Madonna gloves for her birthday many years ago. She loved Madonna. I’ll will miss seeing her photography and collecting sea glass posts on Facebook. Condolences to all. 🙏🙏
My Seaglass Sister 🩵
I hope you are finding the most beautiful treasures in heaven, and singing loud for all the angels to hear.
Miss you terribly. Love you Merry
I will think of you often, Merry while searching for sea-glass along the Chesapeake. Let your loving light shine brightly. I love you.
My deepest condolences. Linda is a special lady. She always had a smile on her face that lite up the room. She truly going to be missed,
Miss Pamela took me in when I was 18, homeless and pregnant with nowhere to go. I was a scared kid and had no idea what to do. She asked for nothing. She fed me, housed me, and even took me to Dr’s appointments and job interviews. I was able to get it together and go on to live an awesome life. Miss Pam, I will always be grateful for you and carry you in my heart forever.
My condolences and my deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family
such a special person I’ve never met
I lovingly wish u peaceful rest.
such an inspiration to me
I’ll always think of you
when im hunting by the sea.
I knew Merry from the sea glass hunting world, and remember her as a kind, funny, and caring person. Her bright smile and sense of humour will be missed in our community. My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of this most lovely lady.
My heartfelt condolences to the combs family.
Merry was a great friend. She was thousands of miles away from me but we still could have some fun together. She had inspired joy and quirkiness and a beautiful kind soul. I remember her telling me that she had the craziest dream that she flew to Australia and found the worlds smallest stopper. I will miss her so much but I know she is in peace now and will be in our hearts forever.
Pam was a sweet and engaging resident at the Arbors. So sorry her journey was cut short here on earth. She will be missed. Connie Sapp (hostess)
Merry was a much loved friend from the beachcombing community. I tried to stay in contact with her this past year, and she was always just the kindest, sweetest, warmest soul without fail, and knew how to make you feel special. She will be missed. All my sympathies go out to her family and friends.
Merry was Sunshine on a rainy day….her smile was contagious and genuine, as was her laughter!
I trusted her with the care of my children many yrs ago when times were tough and I needed someone I could trust, she was there n always willing to help !
Merry will be missed!
my condolences to her family….
Rest in peace dear Merry

David was born in San Francisco in1961 to Betty Cox Mitchell and Leon Willard Mitchell. His brother Gary was born two years later. David spent the first 14 years of his life growing up in San Francisco in a time when children could roam the city and had to be home when the streetlights came on.
In 1975, David moved with his mother and brother to Bridle Creek Virginia, his mother’s family homeplace where his grandmother, Ruth Halsey Cox, still lived. David cherished his time growing up in Independence with cousins and friends. In his adult life, Daivd was very proud to call Independence home and brought many friends to the mountains to show them his Grayson Home.
David leaves behind his dear friend and partner for life, Charles Mahone. David and Charles were together for 33 years. They loved to travel and cruise together, making friends wherever they went. David also leaves behind his brother and wife, Gary and Susan Mitchell and their children, Lucas and Mary Mitchell.
David earned a degree from Old Dominion University then pursued a 30 plus year career in the hospitality industry with Marriott Hotels. He loved life, especially his family and friends. David had a passion for music, particularly Karen Carpenter and jazz, and could often be found helping elderly neighbors do their shopping.
David will be deeply missed by his family and the many friends who all loved David.
A service will be held 2pm Saturday, December 9th, at Bridle Creek United Methodist church in Independence, Virginia, with a light meal to follow at the church. The burial will be the following day at Saddle Creek Cemetery in Independence, with just family attending.

Oh sweet Daddy of mine, not sure how I’m gonna do this life without you 🥹 Being your daughter was a privilege, a blessing and all a girl could ever dream up for a father to be. Being the only daughter was just icing on the cake ☺️ I could never come close to repaying you for all you’ve given me. I know without a doubt that you knew how much I loved you and that brings me peace and makes the pain a little more bearable. I miss and love you so much dad … love~ your baby girl 🩷
Buddy and family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I just learned of Anne’s passing when I went to email her as we did from time to time over the past several years. I loved our conversations and shared stories via email, keeping fondest memories alive. She gracefully made the trip to visit my late mother and I several years ago which meant the world to us. She felt like a second mother to me at times during our early years as your neighbor, a second home of sorts that I will always hold dear to my heart.
Take great care.
Sheila Stone
A light for a bright spirited, creative and loving woman.
Peace & Love Poppy 🖤
I know you shred’n in Heaven, Rest easy🖤
My condolence to the Quade Family. Yes, I have heard many of his great stories as well as enjoyed every one of them laughing hard. The way he told a story would make you attentive.

So sorry for your loss. He was a great man.
I am so glad to have known Herb. He was a fabulous storyteller. Sometimes I would start to giggle even before he launched in. He was an infectious optimist and had a can-do attitude about everything. He loved his family and had a warm and generous nature. He is missed. Thank you for posting this story. I learned so much about his fascinating life of service.
Uncle Jack you will be missed greatly by friends and family! No one could make me laugh faster than you! I’ll miss listening to you play music and sing, hearing stories about Papa’s old cabin in the mountains, your visits to Scotland and your research into our family ancestry. There will always be a place in my heart for you! The Cahoon Family will never be the same without you. I’ll miss you big bunches!
Love ya Uncle Jack!
So sad to hear of Sandra’s passing 😢
Forever grateful that our paths crossed years ago and she helped start me on my journey of healing and learning ❤️
Our deepest condolences to the family and my Uncle Charles. Dave was a caring and loving person. He will be missed. His hospitality will also be missed. Those conversations we had will be cherished and missed. Rest easy 💔
He was the sweetest of sweet the few times I saw him. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️
Merriest the most radiant light on earth was transformed into a seaster because her beacon is so bright it will help guide all that loved her from realms we don’t quite understand.
Herb was a delightful and engaging man. You could not be in his presence for long and not end up smiling. His obituary here conveys well his ebullient personality, varied interests, and broad expertise. It had been a blessing to know him. Kathy and I send our heartfelt condolences to all Herb’s family and friends even as they celebrate his life well lived.

Nancy McClure was a fantastic math teacher. I was lucky to have her for Geometry, Algebra 2, and Math Analysis. She did not put up with nonsense, but was patient and encouraging with those who wanted to learn. She gave clear instruction and worked many examples. A smile from her was worth any amount of hard work. When I became a high school math teacher myself, I tried to pattern my teaching style after hers, and hope I somewhat succeeded.

Erika, my beautiful daughter, how my soul cries out for you is something I can’t explain the feeling of emotions and flesh within is almost unbearable. I’m so very heartbroken but knowing you no longer are suffering gives me peace. 37 years I watched you overcome all the agony of pain, yet you still loved deeply, and never complained when you were in pain that of 100 men on this earth. I love you and miss you so much, my daughter, my woman of God, my soldier and warrior. Erika, all the hugs, kisses, and compliments I will cherish always until we meet again. No excuse is what I will take from you no pain in this life should stop you from saying ” I love you and to keep pushing through the pain in this life on earth will bring. We spent amazing times together doing everything and I can’t have that anymore saddens me deeply. I thought I knew what pain and suffering felt like I know now on, Dec 8, 2023. Jehovah, I cry out from the depth of my being God, I need your grace and mercy to help me keep moving. Erika, my daughter, is in the heavens with her saved soul. God, she loved you so deeply more than me and please continue to watch my baby, your child, your creation. You gave me Erika Fabre Oliver as a temporary gift. I pray and know in my heart you will give me a ” WELL DONE”! Father in Heaven, the creator of Erika’s heart I love you, and thanks for accepting my angel into your Kingdom in the heavenly realm with no pain, no sickness, no sorrow. At least Erika is with you. As Erika said Mommy, I have more faith than a mustard seed. Guess what Erika, so do I. Erika rest, rest, rest and I will never forget you looking in my eyes smiling wiping away my tears saying relax Mommy it’s okay.
Love you my Warrior and beautiful daughter
Sis, I love you so much and miss you with my whole heart. Thank you for being an amazing sister and my best friend. You mean the world to me forever and ever. You will always be apart of me and I will be sure to make sure your legacy continues. I’m so sad that you aren’t here with me, yet I’m so glad you’re no longer in pain. You fought until you couldn’t fight no more. Your are strong, fearless, intelligent, beautiful, Women of God. I know you have earned your stripes. Continue to cover me and Italiana. I love you forever and always your little sis. It’s never goodbye, but always I’ll see you later. I know heaven is exactly like we thought it would be❤️💕🕊️🙏🏼🕊️💕❤️

my thoughts and prayers are going out to you and your family during this time. Love you Eileen
Erika, I miss you. Knowing that you were only a few street lights away gave me peace. Your respect, love and kindness bring warmth to my heart and will give me strength for the rest of my journey. You are a beautiful soul with the strength of a hundred men—a perfect gift from God. Remembering how you left and entered a room, your stylish, obedient, pleasant, and loving way just lifts me up and fills my heart with love. I know that even now you are waving saying “Hey Papa”. Wow, I wish you knew how much of a tickle it gave me each time you said those two words. I will always draw from your strength and charm. I will always remember that this life we live is a gift. I will always remember that there is a time and place for everything. I can hear you say, “Okaaay” with a snap. I will carry your respect for others and your pure independent spirit with me forever and continue striving to make you proud. Rest In Peace Sweetie! I know you are happy with God. Hugs and Kisses until we see you again in Heaven! I LOVE and MISS YOU!
Jimmy, You left without saying goodbye. I will probably never know what became of you. I miss you and I will NEVER forget you.
I met Sue when I started teaching at Kings Fork Middle School in Suffolk. We retired together in May 2009. We had lots of adventures to Scholastic Book Fairs, Suffolk Mystery Authors Festivals, movies and lots of lunches. Our best adventure was a two week trip to Hawaii with Johnna and Bob. We sure made the most of that tour. I will surely miss my good friend. Condolences to all her family and friends.

Enjoyed great times with you Jack my Brother.
Enjoyed a few Drams too.
Be assured that we will be thinkers by of you
Condolences to the family. Sue and I worked together at King’s Fork Middle School. We were teammates in the Alternative Education Program and had many challenging as well as rewarding experiences working with the students that had academic and behavior issues. We continued our relationship after our retirements as we shared many lunches. She will be greatly missed.
So sorry to hear about Herb. We met Herb and June Square Dancing and camping. I have many good memories. My husband, Donald, passed away in 2008.
Everyday I wake up and think to myself, this can’t be real. I feel like I’m dreaming. I never pictured life without you. You were more than just my cousin, you were my best friend. You were literally like my diary and human form and I’m going to miss having you to lean on. They say time heals all wounds, but I don’t think I will ever get over this. The fact that I have to live the rest of my days without you breaks my heart. But I have to keep reminding myself that you’re no longer in pain. I will cherish every moment we have spent together & every conversation we’ve shared. I love you so much & I thank you for always being there. Until we meet again my forever angel 💜

Lee was my stepmommy. I miss her very much.
Our sincere condolences to all the Quade family. Herb was a great guy. I miss seeing him out on his bike trips through the neighborhood. Fair winds and following seas be his.

..my baby brother has been more like a son. a piece of my heart left with him. he fought for many years to out live the cancer. it won. but thank god he has a new body,no more pain. my prayers go to the whole family. we will miss him so much. but join him again in the future.
Please accept my condolences in the death of your loved one. Sue & I both were long time VA Stage Company Associates / volunteers. She was lovely to be around & is missed already.
Merry was full of passion and light, laughter and joy but what struck me the most was how she wanted to make others feel all those things too! May she forever walk the golden sands of endless time discovering all the wonders the worlds and may it fill her soul with all the love in the universe! Love ❤️ always
Condolences to the family….Ms. Pam you will be surely miss…I know I am going to miss your Kind heart and your warm smile…
I love you dad .
Beloved by all, and missed by many this holiday season, and every minute of every day

Tracy and I were coworkers for years.
Condolences to the family
You will be deeply missed our clothes line talks were always the best❤️
May you Rest in Peace Dear Debbie ! We will all miss your jokes and Steeler cheers worked in between your Praise for Jesus . Love Glen & Joan
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts 😞
One of a kind. I’m going to miss the smile and laugh, the jokes you always sent along with my birthday cards. the gifts given out, one for each no matter how many, at every family gathering. We are poorer for your loss here but Heaven is definitely richer. You are and will continue to be, missed.

Debbie was my neighbor and first friend when we moved to West Newton. So many memories of playing at her house and swinging on the swings. Even then she was a little evangelist, inviting me to join her at Baptist Bible School when we were around 5. She will be missed, but we know she is spending Christmas with Jesus.
Mom, there are no words that describe how I feel. I miss and love you so much. My heart is shattered into a million little pieces. You weren’t supposed to go yet, we had a 3-year plan.
Lee, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. I am sure that Mom and her are sharing memories of their time spent at Woodard Acres .
Christina,
I am truly sorry for your family’s loss. I remember your mother fondly, she always tolerated us on the weekends. Find peace in knowing she’s in your father’s loving arms again ❤️
Hugs my friend
Quit deepest sympathies are with the entire family during this difficult time. We love you all.
Sue you will be missed. I will miss seeing you at Bunco when you could come. Fly high with the Angels
Deepest condolences to you, Lee, and Debbie’s family and church family for your loss of a truly pearl on this earth….Deborah Porter…she lived up to her name….she is a shining star still for all to see who our amazing God is, Jesus the Christ. I pray for all of you at this difficult time. lifting you up to lie between the Shoulders of your Beloved God and Father, in Christ, with love, Lisa
Rest in peace MJ you will be missed by so many people. Fly high with the angels my friend. God bless you 🙏💜
May God Bless COL-Ret Jonas & his beloved Family. Then-Captain Jonas was one of our very best Professors at APSU ROTC; his legacy continues to this day. RIP, great Sir! RLTW/AATW, Jim Huggins (APSU ROTC 1977).
My thoughts and prayers to the family. Paul was very a special person to me and there was not a day that he did not make me laugh. I will miss you dearly.
A wonderful lady whose wit and laughter will be missed sorely. She made me a better person and will be remembered as a kind and loving person.
We all will miss Aunt Karen so much 😪 she was so loved by everyone ❤️
Our thoughts & Prayers are with all of you. Bennie was always a friendly & sweet person & always smiling.
Sue and I became ‘single-mom’ friends in the early 80s and enjoyed time sharing game nights as when our sons were young–loved our fellows. Condolences to David and Ryan and all your dear family–she had the best smile and laugh! rest in peace lovely lady.
hey how are things going with your dad today and I have a safe and sound.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER AUNT CHELLI !!!!!!!!!!! LOVE SMOOCH
I’m sorry for your loss. Pops was always kind to me.
I used to work next door to Richmond Camera and became instant friends with Merry. I loved talking to her about Madonna, No Doubt, Gwen Stefani, and more. I will miss your laugh and your pictures. You always had an eye for beautiful treasures. I am praying for your family, and I will hold these memories tight. <3 always!

Sister Wright – whom I call my 2nd Ma, was among the kindest, most loving individuals I’ve ever known. From the 1st time I met her, & her family, she accepted me as one of her very own kids ..almost immediately. They’ve all been like my 2nd family..not only true friends. Sister Wright – my 2nd Ma – will be missed.. with all my heart. We all thank Jehovah whom she loved & lived & died for, faithfully, that we shall soon see her again in God’s New World.
My wife Linda and I have known Bennie and Rod, through their daughter Sue, for a number of years since they moved to the Richmond area. In fact, the three families were neighbors. We have always known Bennie to be cheerful and sweet through all the years we have known her. We mourn her passing almost as much as her immediate family.
My wife Linda and I have known Bennie and Rod for a number of years, through their daughter Sue. Sue and Stu were neighbors of our for many years before Bennie and Rod moved to the Richmond area. In fact, the three families lived within four houses of each other.
We found Bennie to be warm, pleasant, and kind through the years. We will miss her almost as much as her immediate family missed her.
RIP, Bennie.
A Mother’s Love,
To what can we compare?
Someone who lives and dies not for self, But for all whom she loves and cares.
Time passes with gentle laughter and soft sorrow;
How much her love teaches of a better tomorrow.
Loyalty. honor, and dignity she’d impart,
Knowing the needed motivation lays deep within the heart.
What legacy then can such a mother bestow?
Innumerable – her beneficiaries would come to know.
Such unselfish, unwavering love – devotion,
A reflection of her Eternal Father’s glow.
And soon when all is done and all life on earth becomes one.
A mother’s love to time indefinite will lovingly abound.
Michelle was very supportive of The Sophisticated Ladies with her position at Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center. She embraced us and we were allowed to host Kwanzaa celebrations and The Juneteenth Pageant. She will be missed. We will dedicate this years’ Kwanzaa celebration Ujima to her. Rest in peace, Dr. Jeterfonee Jones-Giles and The Sophisticated Ladies family
Mom will be greatly missed. We will treasure all of the great memories that we have of her!
John and I are so sorry to hear that you lost your Mother. Please accept our condolences.
My deepest condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers out with you.
Im so glad we got to meet Aunt Hank. She was quite the character.
I miss you dad… always. Thankful for everything you did for our family.
Rest easy Big Daddy! You will live on forever in our hearts and laughs.
Jeff and I hung around together in our early teen years; riding motorcycles, mine was a “normal” Honda, his was a Hodaka, with an interesting sound that we laughed about, always. He went to Jacksonville Chapel youth group for several years and kept everyone laughing. Whatever he did, he did BIG and with a smile on his face and a belly laughter that he shared with everyone. I’m sorry for your loss, cherish your memories, he was a great guy!!!
My deepest condolences on the loss of your dad.
Barbara, I am so sorry to hear about Jack. He was one of the nicest people I knew. Sorry this is so late.
Growing up two doors down from Gene and Jerry gave me the wonderful joy of being fed, schooled, disciplined, and not very often, sent home by Mrs. Alley. She was such a positive force in the neighborhood…everyone adored her…and I have never forgotten her. My preteen days were so much richer thanks to this amazing lady.
I met Ted when I bought some Elvis memorabilia from him a few years ago. We were instant friends. I would visit him, and he would have Elvis music playing for me as I entered the house. He was such a kind, living. and generous man who unjustly suffered so many physical ailments in this life. It seemed so unfair that any one person would have to go through what he endured. He will be greatly missed! My condolences to all who knew and loved him, especially his son, daughter in law, and granddaughter. He was so proud of them. May you be comforted and surrounded by love during this difficult loss of a fine human being. Godspeed, my friend, you are free!
Gosh, I’m missing you tonight, mom. But I know you’re celebrating Christmas with Dad, your mom and dad and family and others in your wonderful forever home. I love you❤️
Our Sincere Condolences’ and Prayers to you Sue and the family! Your Obituary of Ron was perfect. RIP Ron

Merry Christmas Eve Grandma. I love you.
I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Wright, but I feel like I’ve known her for years because of Jaela and Angie. I knew she was an amazing woman with strong faith, a sweet spirit, quick wit, and always full of wisdom. I can confidently say that Mrs. Wright was an excellent example of the woman in described in Proverbs 31: 27-29. Mrs. Wright has certainly been a blessing to me and my family because of the indelible legacy she has had on her daughters.
My heart is broken for the Wright Family, and my deepest condolences to the many people who were touched by their loving Mom. I will continue to think about you and pray for your comfort and peace.
I am so sorry for your loss… Merry was a very special person. The entire Instagram beachcombing community misses her and was profoundly sad to hear of her passing.
He was a wonderful, awesome man. Glad that I got to meet him.
I am saddened by Gloria’s passing, but what a beautiful, rich, and full life she led. She had the most amazing gift of kindness and always welcomed anyone she perceived to have a need for an ear or a hug. I was an odd little girl who always seemed to be drawn to adults rather than other children, and since few girls were in our neighborhood, I often found myself chatting with Gloria on her front porch. Her love was palpable, and I felt it. Though I know she must have tired of me, she never sent me away. Thank you to all her boys for sharing her with me. I know her beautiful smile and spirit are lighting heaven now.
Wayne and Judy have always been my family, as Brandt and I have been brothers since high school. Wayne was a model of stoicism who would listen with consideration before giving out sage wisdom. There was no question about his love for his family, and when you were with him, you were included in that love. I know that he had endless pride for Brandt and the man he has become, and rightfully so. We were all truly blessed to have had Wayne in our lives.
Jack Our dear brother and brother in law! You are with the angels no longer in torment! May he Rest In Peace with the Lord! Becky your sister and Ken your brother in-law
I am so sorry for your family’s loss of one of the good guys I knew in high school. He was an awesome athlete and always friendly and kind to everyone. Please know that you all are in my prayers as you navigate life without his physical presence….but I know he will always be in your heart and that will be the greatest gift he can give you now.
I am so sorry to hear of cousin Wayne’s passing. I am blessed to call him cousin. May God give you peace knowing he is celebrating Christmas in Heaven with family reunion.
Rick and I are sending our condolences, prayers and love to the Hoppel family. We pray that peace and joy return to your life soon. All though we know it will never be the same without Mr. Hoppel.
Sorry for your loss. I really hope your healing will begin and i will put you all in my prayers. Love you guys very much. Please lets stay in touch better than we have so far. just remember i did love your parents very much.

Mike, Terri, Debbie and Judy,
I often remember fun times with the Hopple family , I carry the memories with me to this day . I won’t ever forget the piano that played itself in your family room, the music was beautiful and brought lots of laughter with all the kids running in and out! Your parents were so kind and caring to our family and were ALWAYS there for our mother Corinne. May you all be uplifted knowing your Dad always had his arms open to make this world a better place .
You all are in my prayers .

Mom was such a kind and giving person. I will never forget how she always put the needs of her family and others ahead of her own. Look forward to seeing her in the near future.

People come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.
Joe will always be “Pinky” to me. He will always be the leader of the pack, with Billy K., with no less than 15 younger kids following him around our Westbury road neighborhood. I remember him swinging between his crutches from the top step after his tree accident with the biggest grin on his face. Pinky, rest peacefully until we all smile with each other again. May your home going be joyous.
Winston was a quiet soul who Zi did not know well, but he was very sweet and kind. Really interested in law enforcement. I will miss his smiling face and his quiet manner.
Janet was an amazing strong woman who we will miss deeply ! she was a wonderful Mother wife and friend !! much love always !
We would like to extend our sympathies to Janet’s family and friends for their loss. Janet was a wonderful, kind, and thoughtful woman. I will think of her when I see spring and summer impatiens blooming. Our condolences to all.
I was so sorry to hear about Michelle. She and I worked together at CNU. She was such a creative and fun individual! Her passion for Ella was evident! All of you have my deepest sympathy. Ari, I lost my mom after a long cancer battle when I was 22. I know how much it hurts. All of you, cherish your memories from over the years! God Bless!
I am very sorry for your loss Carol and family. My prayers are with you all.

Ms Helen was one of the 1st people when we moved onto Redwood 10 years ago (we are no longer there). She saw Lewis mowing the yard & she brought us fresh tomatoes. We later visited her with homemade banana bread and we were friends since. She was so very kind to us, making us feel at home in the neighborhood. She loved meeting our twin daughters & kept up with us quite a bit after we moved. Her memory will live on in our story as a new couple just starting their life together. She will truly be missed.
On behalf of your APCIA PRI family, please accept our deepest sympathies. A donation has been made in your father’s name to the Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Sending our deepest love and sympathy. Helen was such a precious soul, always having a sweet word to say and sharing that beautiful smile. We will miss seeing her worshipping with us at New Song and we look forward to worshipping with her again some day!
Mrs. Brown was a wonderfully cheerful and caring person. I will always cherish visits with her while hanging out with her son and best friend, Dale. Her love for her sons was immeasurable. I will miss her as I am certain will her sons. My deepest sympathy for their loss but rest assured her loss is felt by all those she touched.
I first met Joe and Sue in May of 1988, when I moved to Virginia Beach. We were at an Ascension picnic. It wasn’t until a few weeks later when I turned into a country music station that I learned I was sitting and sharing a meal with this wonderful local celebrity. The thing about Joe was he didn’t present as a big celebrate. He was a very kind and down to earth man. I especially loved the Sundays that he was the elector. When he read the Bible passages, it was almost as if I was there. That beautiful voice. One thing that I learned from this bigger than life man, was to always wish everyone I talked to daily was to have a great day! So Joe, thank you for your kindness, what you have done for our Ascension family and our community. You certainly are a shining example of a disciple of God. Until we meet again, Rest in Peace! Job well done.
I did not know Jim, but his daughter Lisa definitely inherited his wit. Condolences to the family.
Dear Judy, Lisa, and Lauren – Uncle Jim will be sorely missed! I will always remember him as someone we could go to for advice, who was kind, and listened. I will be forever grateful that he was there when my mom passed. May he rest in peace.
May He rest in peace. Eternal memory!
Our love and prayers for the Brown family.
Sending condolence’s to the Hoppel family, Michael (Carole), Terrri (Mike), Debbie (Tony), Judi (Tim). Our family share two of their, grandsons, Colin Gaskins, and Hunter Gaskins.

I will miss you greatly, my traveling buddy. See you in Scotland!
We were very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a kind person, especially with the animals at the ASPCA . He will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with Judy and family. We wish you good thoughts and memories!! 😔
I first tuned into WCMS when I got stationed here in 1967. Joe was like an old friend when I heard him on the radio. Enjoyed his show very much. I was happy for Joe when he retired but sad for me. Never found another station DJ that I liked as much as Joe. I really liked his sign off and have used it often. There are times someone will say “you listened to Joe Hoppel” I sure did. Miss you Joe. I know you and Sue are back together now.
Helen Brown was a joy to be around, she was one of the sweetest person and we loved her dearly. She was always smiling and only had the kindest words! We were so blessed to have been a part of Helen’s life and we will forever cherish our time visiting with her. No matter where we went or how far we went, Helen always made sure that we knew she was thinking of us and our short visits we had every time we visited home (Virginia Beach) means so much more now than they did then. We look forward to our meeting again, Helen. We love you and will remember you always!
Condolences to all who’s lives Helen had touched, but most especially to her children.

You were always my favorite brother-in-law. Rest in peace Dennis
Thoughts and prayers go out to Jim’s family over his passing. I started knowing Jim back in 1980’s unitl out retirement years. I kept up with him looking at Facebook. I knew Jim as a friend, HVAC Designer and Mechancical Contractor he was with TL&A. He helped me on numerous projects. RIP Jim.
Randy Elder
When I first got hired as a Service Tech by Bell Atlantic in 1998, Dennis, affectionately known as Doctor Drop, was one of the first technician that helped to train me. He got his nickname from being such a pro at replacing the dreaded aerial drop wires that hung from pole to house. Dennis was very kind to me and supportive. He was a fantastic mentor to me and such a great help to building my confidence in a heavily male dominated career. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
Kathy was an amazing, compassionate woman. Her kindness showed through with every patient she helped at work. She will be dearly missed.
We will always treasure the times we had together in the prayer garden. The prayers, the talks and the worshiping together! We are so thankful that whenever we needed to discuss something, or just share a meal or desert, the door was always open to us. She would always ask Pastor Lee to grab her bible and he graciously would; then it was game on! The times we took our granddaughter Malina over and Mrs Debbie would talk to her about stories in the Bible and the importance of a prayer language. Those are treasured windows of time that are stored in my heart forever. She was never short on words and had a most contagious laugh. I’ve never met anyone more on fire to tell people about Jesus and pray for the nations. Truly a rare gem was received in heaven. You will be missed, but we will see you again when our mission here is completed. Until then enjoy the river in heaven and all you get to experience there. No doubt you will have much to share when we are rejoined with you. Until then I pray Pastor Lee will smile every time he thinks about your laugh! Our door is always open and we are beyond blessed because both of you entered our lives.
Dear Mavis I just heard today of Martin’s passing and I am SO SORRY. He was always so pleasant and had a smile when I saw him. I last saw you both at Mom’s Homegoing in June & I’m so thankful that I have that memory of him.
You will be in my prayers for God’s strength & grace as you walk through the difficult
days ahead. Love you dear friend. Carolyn
Marion you are remembered for all the hours you spent keeping our community, Great Neck Villas, on budget and running smoothly.
Rest in Peace friend.
Dearest Susan and family:
So very sorry to read about the passing of your Dear Mama. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad and difficult time. Take care and may God Bless you always.
I am so sorry to hear this… Dennis is a very nice man …..
Joe Olney was a member of our residency family, living in our Healthcare unit the last year of his life. He will be remembered as a very friendly man who stayed active (even in the gymn) for as long as his health allowed. He is being missed.
I only had the honor to meet Sandra once when she surprised Hank with a cake on his 85th birthday at the Military Aviation Museum. Although I only met Sandra once, I got to know of her and the beautiful life she lead through the many stories Hank shared with us, his fellow volunteers of his and Sandra’s life together and the true happiness she brought him. Through Hank’s words and memories, I have come to know that Sandra was a wonderful life partner, mother and grandmother.
My condolences go out to Hank and his whole family.
Sincerely,
Bob Finley

Please give Uncle Johnny our love too, see ya’ll in Heaven- and in one of Johnny’s famous lines- God Speed!!!

I miss you so much Mom.
His smile and loving personality will be missed. RIP dear friend!❤️🙏
My beautiful friend Cathy will always hold a special place in my heart. We became friends in Jr. High and continued our friendship throughout the years becoming roommates for a few years after graduation. So many fun memories made. Cathy had a heart of gold and would light up any room with her beautiful smile. She would turn heads with her stunning beauty and grace and was always there to support a friend in need. Our lunch dates were filled with lots of laughter and shared memories.She loved her family dearly. Cathy’s unwavering strength fighting this battle was remarkable. Sending love and prayers to her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by so many.
I was so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing during the holidays. We worked together for five years at WCMS. He was a pleasure to work with, always bright and cheerful. Prayers to the Hoppel family. He was a radio treasure and now a legend!
Billy was our cousin and we got to see him regularly when we were all young. He was always good natured. Everyone liked Billy, and we were, and are, so proud of his service to our country. He’s truly a hero. We will miss you Billy.
Love, your cousins~ Carolyn, Gary and Barbara
(Gretchen “Nancy” Addison’s children)
Billy was a man filled with pride and love. John and I will forever cherish his memory..
Our deepest sympathy goes out to JoAnne and the family. Bill was a large asset to the Cypess Point Commons community, as well as, a good neighbor and friend. Please know that the family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I’ve known Billy since I was a teenager. There was always a group of us that hung out, cruising Doumar’s on the weekends, having beach parties, etc. I remember when Billy was in charge of the Whitetower Northern Division, living in Alexandria & Baltimore, we would go visit & go around the cities learning the areas. Then, when he moved to Ga., husband, myself & 2 of our oldest children (sons) one of those boys son, Billy & Dawn had a “crush” on each other, went to visit them. What a special, great time we had. We went everywhere, visited all the sites to be seen. Then he opened the Anglers Reef restaurant, a very nice place to dine & dance. Needless to say, Dawn & our 2 sons worked there together also, as teenagers. Some good times were had there too. Just remembering Billy back in the day, how he treated his friends and family is heart warming. Coming to visit you in the hospital, when you came home from the war I’ll never forget. Thank you for your service to our country. You worked hard for everything you had & for the USA. God Rest Your Soul, Fly High. We will never forget you or your friendship. Love, Gloria & Paul ❤️❤️
Rest In Peace Billy! We are blessed to have had you in our lives, and I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your friendship and mentorship. Thank you for your selfless service to our country, I will miss our military conversations more than anyone will ever know. You loved unconditionally (God, Family, Country) and I will strive each and every day to live by your example. Rest in peace and God Bless. 🙏
I miss you pop pop
Your love for Leah and I went beyond unmeasurable. The living room pillow forts, dancing to Boogie Shoes by KC &The Sunshine Band, and all the little commissary gifts are only a small example of the love you had for us. I promise I’ll have my nickels to pay you back when I see you again. I love you to the moon and back, forever your brown eyed girl.
I have so many wonderful memories with Billy and Joanne. Praying for all that loved him.
I worked with Bill many years ago at Lynnhaven Middle School. He was one of the kindest, polite, professional teachers I had the pleasure of collaborating with in my years with the VBCPS. I know he will be sorely missed by his friends and loving family. May his memory be a blessing for all who knew him.
My sincerest condolences to the family. I did the Olney’s tax returns for many years. They were both very special people and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting them.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with youl.
We have been friends since the late 50’s. We always had fun.

Dearest Pat (or as I called you in 1966-1967 “Miss Green”):
Please allow my prayers to surround you and your family in these days ahead!
You and Bill were 2 of my most favorite teachers in 1966-1968.
You being my 4th Grade Teacher in 1966-1967 and Bill being my Math Teacher in 1967-1968.
The pics attached show you with the class outside the school as well as your true athleticism performing jumping jacks in heals and a coat – Amazing!
You both touched my life enormously and I am forever grateful for the chance to have both of you in my life.
God Bless You Pat (“Miss Green, Mrs Bolling”)!
Cathy, my wonderful niece left us way to soon and took such a big part of all our hearts with her. One thing we will always have is our beautiful, everlasting memories of her!
Heaven certainly has a very special angel to embrace. Rest in peace, our beautiful, beautiful Cathy!
My heart & sorrow goes out to all the rest of our family. She is truly missed by all of us until the day comes when we see her again!
May God continue to Bless Bill, Pat and the rest of the Bowling family. Bill was a wonderful friend & neighbor. A proud paratrooper. Always a big smile; always friendly and generous with his time…. The mayor of Queensgove Circle … It seemed he knew everyone and had many visitors stop and say “hi” each day. He will be sorely missed by so many.
Jean will be missed very much. She was always there for me and she helped my mom raise me. Jean is survived by other family member’s. Patti Grant , Brittany Christopher, Adriana Grant also Isla Christopher.
I do remember when she drove for the Black & White cab company. She would take me along with her. Jean had a big heart and a great personality. She would help anyone that needed help.
I have many fond memories teaching with both Bill and Pat at Aragona Elementary School. We were saddened to hear of Bill’s passing . We express our sympathy to Pat and the family. Bill was loved by many and will be missed.
Carroll and Sandy Monger
We have been greatly saddened by the news of Bill’s passing. We will always remember him for his kind, outgoing, funny and generous spirit. Words are just not adequate to express how very much we will miss him. We pray that Pat and the family will find peace and comfort in their strong faith and in their loving circle of friends who are there to support them.
My condolences to all of Cathy’s family and friends. She was such a sweet and lovable person. Garry

As friends of Bonnie’s sister Cindy in England, we have many happy memories of times with Bonnie and Cindy when she came to visit her sister in England. Bonnie was a gracious, kind, and multi-talented woman, whose company and conversation was always delightful. She had a strong and compassionate faith that was an inspiration. We will miss her visits but will see her in Cindys friendship and love.
My deepest condolences, Cindy, on the death of your dear sister. She was a beautiful soul. i got to know her well through an Enneagram group, which we both attended for many years together (and i met you there as well, many moons ago). She will be missed.
I miss you Mama.

Judy will be greatly missed. We had many good times especially going to OBX. Girls weekend and family vacations and Christmas Eve at your house. You were fiercely independent and resourceful. You talked me into me adventures and we always had a good time. Your love for animals was so important to you and you did so many things for strays & homeless animals that went unnoticed since you never tooted your own horn. Peace and love. See you on the other side.
Chip will always be remembered for his sense of humor, his amazing food, and being the life of the party. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for his family during this difficult time.
Chip will be truly missed by his family and his friends. Rest in peace! ✝️🙏🏻❤️

Just found out Isabelle had passed. We worked in the same law firm in Wilmington NC. She was an interesting and intelligent person with a talent of telling wondering and interesting stories about her life. From the times she lived in Newfoundland, caring for her children and taking care of her first husband, Bill Aman. We stayed in touch for many years after her move to Virginia Beach. She was a special lady with beautiful blue eyes with a great sense of humor. My condolences to her family.
Thinking of you Scott.
Sorry for your loss, my condolence to you and your family
Stephanie woo surely be missed by everyone who knew her. She was always my daughter’s best customer for Girl Scout cookies each year! I wish I had some ‘Savannah Smiles’ (she always thought the name of the cookie was perfect!)to send to you now.
So unfair.

Kathy and I only got to know Billy briefly, but he left a strong impression on our entire family. His devotion to his family and our country was impressive and Billy was a true patriot. Condolences to JoAnne and the rest of the family during this most difficult time.
My condolences to you and your family during this most difficult time. It is so very hard to be left behind, when our loved ones pass on.
I send my deepest condolences to Mr. And Mrs. Virginia Dorsey. I know that he was the only LOVE of yours and he’s Lifetime. I pray for you in this difficult time as well as sending healing thoughts positive energy to your family too.
Mrs. Everton was my high school guidance counselor. I remember her being very kind and helpful. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help get me a college scholarship and award recognition.
Judy was feisty, practical, humble, a serial project starter (probably why we go along so well!) and an animal lover. She was an inspiration and a good friend. I have many happy memories of the adventures we had when she was a student and worked a the Virginia Tech Hampton Roads Agriculture Research & Extension Center. I am better for knowing her, and I will miss her.
Mike always brought a smile to your face. He will be missed. Warmest condolences to his family.
Scott, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
It was my pleasure to meet Mike a few times when he accompanied his wife to art shows and a lesson; I wish it had been more frequently. He was always quietly helpful, always smiling when I saw him, in spite of the ordeal he faced in his last months. An accomplished man, I know he will be missed by his friends and family.
Chip was such a great neighbor and all around good guy. My condolences to Logene and family. He will be missed.
So sorry Logene. Jimmy and I will miss him at the Coastal Cafe. Loved to watch that man enjoy his food. The taste of that blueberry cheese cake will forever be etched in our minds and wishing we had one last piece. His wit and his impish little ways was the thing that always stuck out in our minds. One of a kind. You couldn’t help but love him. Take care and let us know if we can do anything at all for you. One day at a time is all you can do, and it will get easier as time goes on, but he will forever be in your heart everyday for the rest of your life until you finally meet again.
I was certainly saddened to learn of David’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this time of sorrow. David and I said many Hellos when we met while grocery shopping. We also shared many birthday greetings with each other.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Chip was a wonderful friend and mentor to my brother, Kevin Wittsell. They worked closely together in the HVAC industry, many long hours in the heat or cold. Chip was always available when folks needed help. I also remember his excellent cooking skills, as there were many cook-outs at their house. I send my deepest condolences to LoJean and the family. As busy as Chip was and as hard as he worked in life, may he rest in peace with the Angels. Sincerely, the Wittsell Family

Judy was always sweet and kind to me through all the years I knew her. My deepest condolences to her son, Scott, and her friends and family.
I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex,and then dopamine for my Parkinson disease, as the disease progressed they didn’t help much. A year ago I started on PD TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Aknni Herbs Centre (w w w. aknniherbscentre .com). One month into the treatment, I made a significant recovery, my symptoms were gone including tremors . It’s been months since I completed the treatment, I am symptom free and I live a very productive life all thanks to Aknni herbs centre !!!
Judy was part of our Stained Glass group of ladies who used to meet out for monthly dinners. There was never a dull moment when around Judy with her witty sense of humor. Condolences to her Family.
So very sorry for your loss. Fun times in the past. Rest in peace.

Your smile and cheer will always be remembered.
It is with a heavy heart that I just learned of Judy’s passing. Friends since “brownie troop” days at Washington elementary school in Caldwell….navigating the tricky waters at James Caldwell High School together…traveling across Europe the summer before our senior year in college (we were in Heidelberg for my birthday and July went all over town looking for my favorite raspberries…using some very broken German…the red berries with the “bumpen” on them)….serving as brides maid in her wedding….and so many other memories. I am saddened that time and distance (I live in Atlanta) got in the way of me seeing and beeing with her more over recent years. SHe will always occupy a very special place in my heart…

Jimmy will be missed, he was a friend with a great sense of humor (and quick witted). He was an intelligent and very talented man. He was loyal to his friends and country. He was very proud (as he should be) of his military service. He loved his family. He was a person that always let you know where he stood, and where you stood with him.
it’s taken me some time to come up with the words to say. Nanny i love you and miss you more than you could ever know. I miss us going to thrift stores, and our saturday morning yard sailing. i miss seeing your face light up when i would walk in the room, especially if i brought the girls to see you. no amount of time spent with you would ever be enough. you were right, you are the best friend that i’ll ever have. thank you for being my nanny ❤️

To my cousin’s Alfred Jr., Laura, and Candace and the entire Hooker family, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Father, and Brother and my Uncle “Nookie”. I remember him as I was a child, being a good guy and always cool and unselfish. Although it’s been a minute since I last saw him, he is already missed. I am praying for you all. Losing my Mom was and is still such a hard loss so I understand your pain. But, it will get better. Don’t let anyone tell you how long to grieve. It will take time. Always think about the good time’s and how great a Dad he was to you all and a big brother to you Uncle Brad. And Aunt Carolyn, I know you miss him and loved him as well…. this too shall pass. Just know he is no longer in any pain or suffering.I love you all to life. To God be the glory because He never makes any mistakes. Your cousin and niece, Evangelist Crystal Ellis
To our cousins Al, Laura, Candace, and Aunt Carolyn. Those words could not be more true. Uncle always made sure that we had what we needed. He will never be forgotten, and always in our hearts. I pray that our family bond will never be broken. No matter the many miles that separate us. I Love You All.
From my heart to yours. I feel your pain. I am praying for you, that God will continue to strengthen you all. Sending my love. From your oldest cousin Carrie.
Scott, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure you know that there was never a dull moment when she was around. I met her years ago at the library, We both attended the Wednesday evening yarn group. We had great laughs which left great memories. Being I was from NewYork your mom always talked about loving those black and white cookies. So whenever I went home to visit I made sure that I brought her back a few. She did admit that she was NOT supposed to eat them and promised me that she would ration them out and eat them a little bit at a time. She will be missed by many.
My condolences to the Hooker Family. May you find comfort in knowing that Mr. Hooker is at peace. May the Lord shield your family at this difficult time. From The Lanham Family
I was shocked & saddened by Rosie’s sudden passing. She was a long time friend from Pancakes & Things. She will be missed by so many people that she came to know. RIP Rosie in your Heavenly home.
I loved Linda for many reasons but one that stands out is that you could sit and talk to her about anything and everything for hours. P.S. It was fun scaring her on Halloween when the kids went Trick or Treating!
Shelia & I are saddened by the passing of Jimmy.
We’ll never forget his upbeat attitude.
MY HEART WILL FLY WITH YOU
I was sorry to hear of Linda’s passing.
I worked with Linda, at the Ford plant, and have fond memories of
her as a very conscientious and friendly employee. She was the hourly payroll
coordinator and the people at the plant loved her. She was always willing and
capable of resolving any payroll issues that the employees had.
Linda often spoke of her family and I certainly wish them well.
God Bless,
Larry L. Pedersen
My deepest condolences to the entire family.
When I heard I Kathy’s passing….my heart sank. She was an amazing person who spoke of her husband daughter and twin grandchildren often. She was extremely passionate about the work she did and I am proud to say that I worked with such an amazing person…nurse….wife….mother and grandmother. She will be missed by many.
So, so sorry to hear this news. Byron was always so sweet and gentle. The best of the best. He will be missed!

Thank you for everything you did for me and my boys. Alot may not know about your contributions in support of the US Navy Men and Women onboard the USS Guam so many years ago. You gave them memories that will last them all a lifetime. God Bell you and keep you close. Heaven gained an amazing angel. Keep them laughing in heaven my friend. You are missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I had always hoped to get back to Virginia to visit her again. I met her at Tidewater community College where we were studying health information technology classes from 1984 til we graduated in 1986. I enjoyed her sense of humor and treasured her friendship. We kept in touch throughout the years, often calling each other on our birthdays. Please accept my condolences!
With sincere sympathy,
Darlene Linder
I love you mom I miss you a ton it’s tuff without you I will one day see you again
I have such fond memories of Mr. Walker. Mostly of him in florescent MC-Hammer pants cracking jokes to all of Stacey’s friends at our constant sleepovers! I thank him and Sherry for opening their home to all of their daughter’s friends – we found so much peace, connection and laughter hanging out in that big playroom over the years. He so clearly enjoyed life, didn’t take it too seriously (in the best kind of way) and loved his family. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing and send love and condolences to all who knew and loved him.
I love you and I miss you mom..❤️
Dave and I almost got married but I let my family rule me, but anyways I always love you. Tell my mom I love her and give kisses to my grand daughter. R.I.P Dave you will never be forgotten. Make sure they have plenty of Mt. Dew up there for you 😉
RIP Dave
I was truly blessed to have work with Linda at the Ford Plant for many years when she was in the computer room and in payroll. I worked in HR and Linda was my go to person, no one else like her. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Linda will be truly missed.
Brenda was a wonderful person and I will miss her smile and laughter as we spent many evenings over the last four years sharing Pizza Hut while she did my hair!! Love and miss you Brenda! Thoughts and Prayers to the entire family.
My condolence to the Family. I was not fortunate enough to spend much time with Jim, the last time being at a fraternity brother’s funeral if I remember correctly. I remember him as a good Teke brother and will close with Simper Fi my friend.
Ron Saunders
Tammy and I met Joe and Sue through a mutual friend, and we all became friends instantly. He was a great man all around, a role model and mentor for many. Until we meet again, Joe – We love and miss you.
You will surely be missed by many Dan. I will always talk about your many phones calls where you cussed me out and then you would call back a few minutes later apologizing. You are the smartest steam guy I’ll ever know.
So truly sorry for your loss. A beautiful person inside and out. Byron was always such a gentle and sweet person. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
We were neighbors of Mr. Booker and very sorry we didn’t get a chance to say good-bye. We always called him “Mr.” To show our respect. He was a quiet man and a good neighbor. We’d chat and visit when he pushed his trash can out to the street, and he was always pleasant and appreciative for little things we’d do in looking out for him. Bye to our friend, Mr. Booker. We will miss you. Save us a place in that grand mansion in the skies. Al and I send our sincere sympathies to his family as you mourn your loss. Jean and Al at 3306 Settlement.

My condolences to the family. I am Dawns friend and I know how this lost is hurting you. May he be in peace and lots of strength to the whole family.
I am so sad to hear of Lee Roy’s passing. We grew up together, went to school together and had so many happy memories. We lived a mile from each other. Our mothers, Hazel and Ann, would take all of us kids to the landing which was close to our house. We would spend hours crabbing and fishing. Then we would come home, cook the crabs and have a feast. Such fun. I used to walk a mile to his grandmother’s house so she could teach me how to make rag rugs. I loved the time we spent together and learned so much about older people from her. Lee Roy always wished he was taller. He didn’t need to be taller. He had a heart the size of Texas. There were so many times he helped my father with his tractors and mowers. On our last phone call Lee Roy caught me up on so many of our classmates. He knew everybody. I will mis him. His wife, his brother, Dicky, and sisters Frances and Serena (named by my Mom and after my grandmother), are in my prayers and thoughts.

Aside from being my father-in-law, Walt became my own dad when my birth father passed in 2011. He was the epitome of a husband and father. Men like Walt set an example for the rest of us and if I can ever be half the man, I’d do well. Rest easy, dad.

We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr Glover. Enjoyed the time we spent in BOY SCOUT TROOP 306. All of his knowledge passed on to the young boys in the troop was used by all of them. Thank you for your SERVICE SIR.
Send love❤️.. My Husband had Parkinson’s disease and was dealing with shakes, stiffness and balance issues – it was like his body was in rebellion. Meds ( Levodopa ) and therapies were not doing much, so we thought about trying alternative methods as we heard interesting stories about Ayurvedic herbs with this disease. We explored the path and it changed his life with all symptoms totally reversed – Shakes calmed down, stiffness took a hike. My husband is living proof that natural Ayurvedic herbs can be a game-changer in the face of Parkinson’s as he is totally cured and fine now. The journey wasn’t always smooth, but the results speak for themselves. If anyone out there is facing a similar battle, consider giving Ayurvedic herbs a shot. We got the Ayurvedic herbs which cured him from naturalherbscentre. com I recommend Ayurvedic treatment from Natural Herbs Centre for Parkinson’s disease This is how my husband reversed his PD. This isn’t some scam or some made up nonsense.
I would like to offer more deepest sympathy for your loss David worked for me for 6 years and every day was an adventure he could aggravate me to no end but at the end of the day he was always there and did whatever I asked oh him. The best he could he is missed by everyone on the job and will be hard to replace .I hope there is a buffet in heaven buddy .R.I.P Rob Bunting , Atlantic Homes LLC.
“God himself will be with them, And he will wipe out every tear rom their eyes

The former things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3,4)
I will always remember and cherish your wisdom, advice, and encouragement you bestowed on me all the years I had with you. You are great missed and forever remembered.
Mr. Joe will be remembered by all the lives he touched. His hats, his whistling at work and even that little pocket game he played. Rest in peace, Mr. Joe.
Mr. Donley has left a precious legacy in his family. It was a privilege to meet him and his dear wife at least once over the years. I know this last stretch has been tough but I know you are thankful for all the wonderful memories you all have as a family. Hugs to you all. Prayers as you process this loss and remember this husband and father and grandfather. May they be sweet as you celebrate his life
Happy Birthday Grandma! I love you so much!

We know the days and nights are not easy during times like this; life so short and the passing of a loved one so final. It’s okay to cry – those tears that you shed is love with no place to go.
Sometimes there are no other words to say that you haven’t already heard. Jim will be missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

I’m heartbroken about Janet’s passing. I know that she loved her boys, boys and her husbands so much. She was so supportive and helpful and funny. I’m going to miss her very much.
Sending love, hugs and prayers to Katie’s family. Katie, Dave, Brooks and Reed moved into Aquia Harbour in 1994. They became part and f our family. I always thought of Katie as my little sister. We shared many holidays together. Our sons grew up together. She was an inspiration to us all. I miss her. Her memory will be forever in my heart ❤️
I got to know David better recently and I am glad I did. he helped me with cooking dishes with suggestions to make it taste better. He listened to my whining, asked me what he could do in my house, and generally was a smile. He frustrated me (everyone does) but not on purpose. I am sorry I didn’t get to meet his daughter or grandson and watch Dave do the “grandpa” thing.
I sailed with Katie on Semester at Sea in 1982. I didn’t know anyone when we boarded. Within a month, Katie was like a very tall little sister. We formed a tight group of curious and adventurous friends who traveled around the world together at ages 18, 19 and 20. It was a life changing time. Katie had such a spirit and love of life. I loved her energy and enthusiasm for learning and meeting people. She was open, honest, passionate, and fun. I’ll never forget you Katie.
Sweet Judy. The first time I met her, I knew where Brandt got his love of people and his positivity. She was truly an Angel on Earth. Always kind, always happy and always so loving.
We are so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of your father/husband/Grandfather❤️ we will all forever keep him alive in our stories ❤️💔❤️Sending prayers and hugs to you all🕊️
My friends and I met Rob while playing online on PS4 and he quickly became a staple to our group for a long time. We used to sit up and swap stories with him and just have a great time together. He was like our crazy uncle of sorts and we loved him dearly. We only found out about his passing today and we are heartbroken. My condolences to his family. I know he loved his family and his daughter especially. He talked about them quite a bit during our conversations online. We never met in person but he made a huge impact in our lives and we miss him dearly. RIP Rasta Rob The Green General. We love you man.
I met Rob while playing online during college. He always was encouraging especially when it got tough at times. He always had an interesting story or a different way of looking at events that could turn the day around for the better. My friends and I bonded over the stories he shared with my personal favorite being Rob following the Grateful Dead on tour. Through his stories I learned he liked surfing and the next time the Billabong Surf Competition was in town I made sure to go get some shirts and mail them to him. He never asked for them, he was always giving but I just wanted to repay the positivity he brought to me. Our group will miss you dearly Rob but we take comfort knowing you’re no longer in pain. Much love to you and your family.
So very grateful that you were part of my life. Forever a part of my heart ❣️
Sympathy for family & friends for their loss.
To the Roberts family,
I am so sorry to hear about this incredibly tough loss. I knew Rob for a few years through online gaming and he instantly became a close friend. Everyone he has knew or spoken to, was always so touched by his loving words and incredible sense of humor. I am so sorry I did not hear of this news sooner, and truly hope that your family has found peace through these hard times. I love you Rob, and I know that you and Lily are always side by side through any adventure God has in store. Rest in peace brother, we all miss you so much.
Sweet sleep Ma.
My deepest condolences to you and tge family.
Sleep in Peace young lady.
Martha is one of my favorite people of all time. I’m grateful I knew her & she was a great friend/mother/sister to me in Birmingham. We visited NYC in 2019 and my daughters got to meet her & they too enjoyed her sense of humor right away. Martha will be missed. Love to all her friends & family
I am so sorry to hear of Kent’s passing. I met him back in the 90s at Cutty Sark Marina. He always provided outstanding advice and taught me a great deal about messing around on boats. Most notably was his support of the Sea Scouts. His presence will be missed by many.
pleasant sailing in the afterlife brother of the salt
My condolences to Erek and the family.
Your mother and grandmother was a lovely person. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to meet her. She was so sweet and I enjoyed every minute of our time together. May she rest in peace. You are in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers.

Sending love and gratitude, and holding her forever in our hearts. Hugs, Enid
So sorry about the passing of your dad. I was one of the first group of Tang Soo Do students he taught (1976), and he made a life long impression on our hearts and minds! He was a ‘lead by example’ teacher who taught us to work hard, to face our fears, as well as; to embrace new cultures, new food, and most importantly new ideas. He was a “Renaissance man” who exposed us to much more than martial arts.
Tang Soo! Mr Coia….
Rest in Peace

So sad to read of Patsy’s passing in this morning’s VP. Patsy was a lovely lady and will certainly be missed by all who knew her.
Margot was one of the best friends I have ever had. She was a caring and loving person and a wonderful mother to her children. Since both of us came from Germany we could talk about many things we had in common when growing up in our native country. I shall miss her dearly! To Erek, Keith and Paul my sincere condolences.

A lovely tribute to a life that made such a difference. Peace to your family.

My deepest condolences to Pastor’s family. I was privileged to know him during his tenure at River Hills Church in MN. He worked closely with our Stephen Ministry and was a kind and inspiring leader. We were all better for knowing him. Truly a life well-lived.
So sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. She was a kind and wonderful lady. I will always remember how good she and your Dad were to me when we were kids playing Little League. May God rest her beautiful soul. Mike Cannon
When I heard of your Dad’s passing, I was overcome with so many great childhood memories from him coming in & always having the with the loudest greetings for me and laughing asking what Nancy and I were up to (although he knew half the time no good) to sitting on the back of his truck with a sign for the male dancer to arrive at my bachelorette party with a cold one in his hand. He was such a jolly man with a huge heart and the best whole hearted laugh! Sending love and prayers to each of you💕
hope you’re celebrating and having David tell my dad and all my brothers I love and miss them, fly high David
I was just thinking about you today and remembering how much fun we all used to have with you. You never made us feel unwelcome and you were always ready to do whatever we wanted to do.

I hope you’re having a blast in Heaven Uncle George! Love and miss you always

We were saddened to hear about Ken. You all were great neighbors and friends. He was always generous and ready to help. So many memories – Dad and Ken chopping down trees, fireworks that led to a small marsh fire behind your house, the mouthwatering aromas from the smoker, the McNelly clan visiting us in England, his booming voice, and his trains. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Keith and Anna
I lost contact with Tim sometime during late 2020. I kept reaching out to him via Facebook and got no response. Unfortunately, I just learned that he passed away. Tim was my first real boss in northern Virginia. My wife and I moved here in 1996 to work for Aol. Within a year of being in a quasi-insane group, I was able to transfer to an amazing team under Carlton Geckler. Carlton hired Tim to run his support organization for the AOL web hosting business. Carlton placed me in Tim’s group. I quickly came to learn that Tim was a kind but firm leader. He was great a giving feedback and coaching me through politics. Equally admirable was the respect he had for us techies keeping all those servers up and running and customers happy.
One day he asked me to join him at a meeting being held in Reston, which was about 10 miles from our offices in Ashburn. He said the meeting was an hour long but told me that we would likely be away for over 2 hours because he wanted to treat me to lunch. We attended the meeting with Matt Korn at the Aol data center building in T
Reston and then headed to Ariake which is the best sushi place in NoVA.
It was a really nice lunch and then he popped out a folder a said I was being promoted to Manager. I was shocked and then confused because he was the manager of the group. Then he said a line that solidify part of who I am as a manager. He said (paraphrasing): “You are the right person to run this team. I will always be here to help you. Part of my job is to make sure I have people take over my job so I can grow as well.”
We eventually went in different directions but we would periodically check in on each other via Instant Messenger and then Facebook.
Tim was a family man. I remember how he always had photos of his little ones in his office and in his jeep. The kids eventually grew up and he and his wife separated. I checked in on him more frequently when I learned that he was no longer with his family. I even visited him once at his home in a ski resort town in VA. It was just him and his dog.
Tim served his country and Tim was the very first web master for the White House under the Clinton administration. He continued writing code for small businesses and individuals to earn some extra money on top of his retirement.
Tim was a good man and I am glad I got to know him and call him a friend.

ob dear friend; we go back many years and our families have stayed in touch for over 50 years. Rest in Peace.
Flora and Jennie, I am deeply saddened. A short bible verse for you:
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Please remove my name from Bob’s obituary. I almost threw up seeing this for the first time today. On September 30, 2020 justice was finally served for my siblings on my mom’s side and I. (I can only speak for our side) This man was a rapist, child molester, and the most physical and mentally abusive man that I have known in my life. I cannot think of one thing that I would ever cherish thinking of this animal! I don’t mean any harm just want my name removed please
My Dearest Karen: You will forever remain a part of me. Your love and friendship was so dear to my heart and will forever remain there. Our goofy talks and genuine laughter over the good, bad and the ugly in Life will be deeply missed.
I am genuinely grateful that you are totally at peace and no longer in pain. You fought the good fight, my dear friend. Your love and dedication to your family was always first and foremost in everything that you did. Just another of the many things that I admired and loved about you. It will be hard on them for quite awhile. But knowing you, you’ll be looking after them from up above.
My prayers for your family and all of us that loved you-🙏🙏
See you again someday, my dear friend❤️
With Love Always and Forever, Lynne
always in my heart
You served your country well Sir. I’ll never forget those reel to reel recordings of old country western songs , that green and black Camaro that you showed up in, or the phrase “ look it up”, every time I said “ I wonder…” Remember that time when you got ready for work, walked into the living room in the dark? LOL you’re in the next dimension by now and I’m sure you’ll do great things there too. See you later! TIA

“Fair Winds and Following Seas” Poems
However, a poem by Dave Kelly arguably stands above the rest.
It’s a poem designed to remember someone who has fallen or perished in military service:
Fair Winds and Following Seas
may forever you feel, upon your cheek, the salty breeze.
Your spirit lives on in many a heart,
your words captured and never to depart.
May your loved ones be comforted knowing
that heaven is where you are going.
For all that they have to do is look above,
and they will be reminded of your love.
I didn’t know you personally, Bob, but we shared the “Mustang Space” within the Cryptologic Community. My heart-felt condolances are with your family. Safe Crossing, Shipmate! As Always, “Fair Winds & Following Seas.”
You will be greatly missed.
Robert was my grandfather, he’s been such an amazing man all of my life, I’ve always felt connected to him because he’s the one who cut my umbilical cord when I was born. That man made sure to help whoever he can and make sure everyone had a smile. I love you so much poppop and will always miss you.
Love you and miss you so much

I have lots of memories growing up with Bob on Cherrytree road. My family lived just up the road from the Morrison family. Bob, my brother Garrett and myself spent a lot of time together as youngsters. Bob came to Colorado several years ago, It slips my memory as to why he was in Colorado but he dropped by my house to visit for a while because brother Garrett had given him my contact information. We spend several hours reminiscing the old days on Galloway Hill. Bob was a great guy and is sorely missed. My condolences to Bob’s family.
I a am so very sorryy for your loss. I pray that God will hold you, your family, and friends very tight to protect you each and every day. RIP Bill
We miss you and will never forget the good life we had travelling the globe and building family. Thanks for all you did! Your legacy lives on in us.
Aloha e Nancy,
This is Ginger Moratin, we were in lamaze together 1980 and we raised our boys together when you lived in the islands. In my effort to locate you, I came across Stephen’s obituary which totally knocked the wind out of me. Oh how my heart grieves for you dear friend. I am so very very sorry Nance, so very sorry. The depth of your sorrow, truly has no bottom.
The prompting to reach out came as I was going thru Michael’s, (you renamed him Michael J Squirrel) greeting cards for holidays and birthdays. Among them, 5 birthday cards are from the Kurz family. Yes, I’m one of those crazy moms who kept everything! I’m so thankful that I did because the cards have become a place where I can visit remnants of Michael’s sweet childhood. We lost him May of last year Nance so these cards have become everything to me.
If it wasn’t for your cards I would not have had the thought to reach out. I’m so glad I did…I’m not on facebook or have social media accounts, I just googled you, ha!
I’m not even sure if this note will reach you, but I am hoping some how it will…my email is tutulvsu@gmail.com if you’re inclined to reach back, I’d love to hear from you!
You will be so missed.
Rest in peace, Great-Uncle Bill

My deepest sympathy for your loss and prayers for your family so that you have the strength to carry on 🙏
Karen was a beautiful person inside and out always had a smile on her face, We had great times camping. She will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to the family
I was delighted to reconnect with my cousin Janice on Facebook after many years without contact. You always had plenty to say and you wil be greatly missed.
I will surely miss the FB posts from JJ. She had such a sense of humor. But she also gave such words of encouragement to everyone. Sorry to lose you sister-in-law.
Dearest Duke and family,
Our hearts are full of mixed emotions; sorrow, sadness, love … Bill was an exceptional human being; fabulous partner, loving man, generous to all.. I am so fortunate to have called him my friend!
I hope during this time of grieving, you may also remember all the great moments and memories that you created together. Bill will never be forgotten by those he touched with his southern charm, sweet soul, unconditional love and boundless generosity.
Reaching out to you with love and support,
Jackie, Heidi, Christian and Doreen
Flora and Jennie – Sincerest condolences for your loss. I’ve known Bob since 1970 when we were stationed in the Philippines. We reconnected several years back at our monthly luncheons here in Maryland. Bob had a wonderful memory and knowledge of the Naval Security Group in which we served. I think I learned something from him every time we talked. We will miss his stories and conversation. He was a good friend and will be greatly missed.
Rest In Peace, Shipmate..
To all of Karen’s family,
I am so grateful I was able to get to know Karen pre-pandemic through our Thursday lunch’s & zoom. How brave she was to face all of her diseases with humor & Grace. She spoke so lovingly of all of you including the dogs. I am so grateful she chose to share her journey with us. Peace be with you all.
Bob, we met at St Matthew’s so many years ago, but then go to know each other through CSAT!
I will miss you and your stories and talks.
Thank you for sharing your love of our Filipino community and the Cebuano culture.
I will cherish the Cebuano music books you gave me.
You will always be our loving “priest” in the Sinulog reinactments.
May perpetual light shine upon you.
Jennifer Gregorio Alberto
Sorry for your loss, He was the nicest person and will truly be missed.
Doug and I both began our careers as bankruptcy judges in 1987, meeting in “Baby Judge School.” Over the years, we cemented our friendship at other meetings as well as sharing our interests in history. He helped me place an item in the Library of Virginia concerning my Great-Grandfather who attended Washington College when Robert E. Lee was its president as well as with another matter. He sent me a copy of his book on the (former) Confederate Memorials in Richmond and I sent him a copy of a book I authored on a Louisiana Plantation. I am most distressed to learn of his passing. Since our respective retirements we spoke by phone a time or two. He was the consummate gentleman and scholar.

Brian was a mentor to me (and to may others) at NAVMASSO & SPAWARS. He had the knowledge and the patience to help others. I will miss his friendship.
I am so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was such a great friend. I knew him from a chat room we used to be in call eastern shore chat. That was many moons ago. He lived at that time it was my understanding on Chincoteague. We went out to dinner and talked on the phone back then. Then when he meant the lady he lived with in Oak Hall we chat on the computer still some and would see each other out places and hugged and talked. He worked with me for a while at Royal Farms New Church for a time. We talked a lot then, And after he moved to the apartment complex we talked here and there. He was a mess in this world. He is going to be so missed, I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked for Rae a little over 8 years. Rae gave me my first engineering job. After I moved on he would visit me and we would talk about the times we worked together. Rae was a good man and I will miss him.
Raeford, Quiet Birdman with the Norfolk Hangar. Regular attendee, good fellow, ….he will be missed at our Hangar meetings. The QBs will be attending the funeral ceremony.

I was so sorry to hear of Rae’s passing. He was a very good man to work for. I started as just temp and was there for 14 years. Very fond memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Curt and Lisa and your family.
Rae is going to be missed for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working for him at Hoggard-Eure and will think of him fondly. He always greeted you with a smile and asked how you were doing. He was a heck of a man. I feel lucky to have known him as employee and friend. Thanks and RIP Rae.
My sincere sympathy to Brian’s family. He was loved by many and his gentle spirit will long be remembered.
I went to Sooner High with Janice. We didn’t really know each other then, but became acquainted through Facebook.
I had told her an amazing story about an experience a friend of mine had had which included seeing a field of sunflowers after her father’s death during a trip to Colorado following his funeral in Missouri.
It was very comforting to me to hear, thought I’d share with Janice, and she told me how much hearing this story meant to her. it’s too much to discuss here, but if that wasn’t proof of life after death, I don’t know what was. My friend and her daughter both had this experience together, as they were trying to get to Colorado so her daughter could be in a wedding that was only two days after her dad’s funeral, and had this experience while driving in the mountains at night.
I miss Janice’s great sense of humor, and getting to know her later in life.
Raeford was my fraternity brother and friend for 68 years. I always enjoyed meeting him and Tidewater when I was there on business for lunch or dinner. I will miss him very much!
I dearly believe Mr. Eure is in the heavens maybe talking with my father Roger Martin about Real Estate here on earth if not I am sure my mother Carole is talking Rae crazy!
Prayers to your family 🙏🏻 Believe in the Power of Peace ❤️
Janice’s FB posts always brightened my day. Loved her funny posts and Larry stories (so many pictures of you asleep, Larry.) Loved photos of her garden and her sunflowers. 🌻 condolences to you and your family, Larry. I’m sure Angels sang her to her rest. Will have a Dr. Pepper for you, Janice!
George leaves a life-long trail of students who loved him and were touched and inspired by his inner glow and gift for teaching. Some of us were honored to count him as friend and kindred spirit. How fortunate we were, to share even a small part of his journey. What he gave of himself, we have taken along on our journeys, and that has made all the difference. Much love to all his family and dear friends, from a grateful No Name Player
Russell’s kind heart blessed many people including me. I will miss your laugh. Until we meet again….
Brian, Bob Coble and I will miss you. I enjoyed working with you all those years. You never ceased to amaze me with your breadth of knowledge. I always learned something from you.
God speed my friend. RIP

You’re in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers.

My most heartfelt condolences to the family of Mrs Janet Werndli. I made Janet’s acquaintance purely by chance one day 13 years ago. I live in Australia but I bought a uniform on the internet and when I made contact with her she was gobsmacked that Bill’s uniform was now on the otherside of the world and for many years we wrote to each other and I felt a wonderful connection between us. I will always remember her warmth and kindness. Rest in Peace and God Bless
Brian was great to work with – always so helpfull. I called him the brain instead of Brian.
A friend and fraternity brother since 1956. Attended home coming together for many years until recently.
We have lost a true man who lived God’s words. He gave generously of himself to his family, friends and society. God bless his wife Donna and his family in their time of sorrow!
May God’s comforting spirit be with the McMillian family. Your loving care and support for your mother/loved one is admirable. Thank you for being a shining example of faithfulness and devotion! Rev. Braunda L. Ridley, Sentara Enterprises.
Dear Norma, family and friends of Ken,

Thank you, George, for helping to teach us to be good humans.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Brian was our “go to” guy at SPAWAR whenever we had system problems. No problem was too large or too small. He was a very kind and thoughtful man and he will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
This comes as a shock to me. I am very sorry for your loss. I saw Tom when he was performing with Midnight Fury out at Southfork all of those many-many years ago. I don’t mean to sound selfish, but the music that Tom made with Midnight Fury were some of the happiest moments of my life. I was wondering if he was still playing and was hoping to catch him at some other venue. I never realized he had passed away. I will always remember Tom fondly with the other members of Midnight Fury and the great music they used to play. You are gone but never forgotten my friend. – David Scott – Friday, 15 March 2024.
Rest in peace Bob
-I had the pleasure of providing insurance coverage for Hoggard Eure and Rae for most of my 40 year career in the insurance business. Whenever I would ask when he was going to retire, he would smile and say: “why would I want to retire?? I love what I do!”
-Rae was a fine man who will be missed.
Beverly Cherry
My heart ❤️ goes out to all of you!! Donna , you see by far my favorite person and Rae was the luckiest man to have you !! Always here if you need me.
Mrs. Hobbs was my First grade teacher; my favorite teacher. Her words and wisdom in that First grade classroom followed me all throughout my life. I was truly blessed to have her help lay the foundation for my future. Hobbs family, I am deeply sadden for your loss.

I had absolutely no problem with the phone number that is on this website. I got a quick answer, and it’s a Saturday, so I’m not sure why you had trouble contacting them.
Thank you for posting Sarah’s obituary in the Rome News. I was blessed to be her Sunday School teacher at WRBC. Sarah lived Christ every day. She was always smiling and ready to tell others about her Lord. My prayers are with each of you as you remember her faithfulness to our Lord and her love for family. I look forward to living with her through Eternity as we all praise our Lord together,
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away . I pray Gods sweet peace to Dr Hobbs and the entire family. May your memories always be stored in your hearts until that great awakening day when you all may see her again. For now be comforted knowing she is resting in the joyous arms of the Lord 🙏🏽.
Gone but never forgotten. Art will live in our individual and collective memories. My thoughts are with Sue, Rob, and Matt and the entire family.
Sorry to hear of Rae passing. He will surely be missed. We had many years of sharing

To my beloved Sister. Remember all the good times in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Gary laughed because I bought a coat every where we went. How about China Town. Love all the memories. I loved you move than you will ever know. This isn’t goodbye Sis. It’s till we all meet again. Sorry for all the things I did wrong.
Dear Donna:
What an amazing story of a beautiful life of love, effort and accomplishment. Rae surely made the most of his time here on earth. We are thinking of you and all the family during this sad time. Our deepest sympathy—
Meg and Bill
Cousin Jesse and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the love and peace of God surround you.
I have known Lisa for a few years now. She gave me the pleasure of introducing me to Mr. Raeford a couple of years ago. He quickly became someone that I cared about. He always had something funny to say and I enjoyed being around him. I wanted to say I am truly sorry for your loss. But selfishly I have to say I wish I had more time with him. If there is anything I can do to make things easier please let me know.
Lord thank you for helping me in your church you help me and LaGod I Love you Lord and see you later my friend 😭

I was so sorry to read of your and your family’s loss. Rae was the consummate gentlemen and his good work both professionally and voluntarily will surely be a lasting legacy. He was a lovely man and will be missed by many.
Warmly,
Betty
I miss you Bubba 😔 so much
So sorry for the loss of an amazing man. prayers sent to his family during this time. I will always remember Connie’s sense of humor and his love for his family.
there are no words or actions that can be made when you lose someone that you love that leaves the world to soon!
Heather and Tommy, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Love you!
RIP my friend. My condolences to your family. We grew up together and, after high school, went on separate paths in life. Your path was truly blessed.
We were so blessed to have you for so long.
Thinking of your family as you celebrate Edna’s life, she left so many memories in so many hearts. May she rest in eternal peace.
My deepest sympathy to Connie’s entire family.
Edna will be missed forever but also loved and remembered forever! One of the purest and truest people on God’s Earth! She became the face and character of the Norfolk Farm Market, beloved by employees and customers alike- they all became family… that was true with her church, the Masons, cleaning clients— just everything she poured her heart into… but nothing was ever more important than people! Love you forever Edna,
Mick Shaw
My deepest condolences for the family. Hope will truly be missed. She was always so sweet and kind to me whenever we crossed paths. She was always a strong presence in a room full of fun, jokes, and laughter.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. May God bring you peace and comfort.
The greatest are the most humble. That was Rae on both counts. He will be greatly missed.
Lisa, I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. What a great man. I had many laughs with him over the years and enjoyed working with him on so many projects. He will be missed. I am sorry I will miss his memorial service, the memorial service for my 99 year aunt is the exact same time in VB. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Donna, Lisa, Curt…my deepest sympathy at the loss of your Husband, Father, and my good friend. I only learned of Rae’s passing last evening while traveling on business in South Carolina. Rae and I first met when I became employed with George T. McLean Company. My older brother, Walter, worked with Rae at the Equipment Company and I worked for the Building Materials Company while going to College in the early 70’s…I later worked there as an Outside Salesman while still going to School and somewhere in all of that I met Ray who also became my friend and mentor. We became trusted friends throughout our lives as we crisscrossed each others path…most favorite to me were the times we spent Sailing together in Tidewater and on trips on the Chesapeake Bay, Tangier Island and WindMill Point. As my Traveling Career took me around the United States, Rae and I kept in touch and he was always inquiring about my wellbeing, he was proud of the Career I had built and my success, and I would thank him for the part he played in it. I always felt a part of his family as he was certainly a part of mine…he knew my parents and I knew his…he knew my brothers and sisters, we ended many a Sailing session with me cooking barbecued chicken for our families, Lisa and Curt were very young children then. I wrote Rae letters when each of his parents passed away as I was living somewhere between Chicago/Texas/Pennsylvania and I followed up with a call. Tim and Helen were such nice people…at different times we were as close as brothers. When my parents passed away, I came home for the Service and there was Rae….we caught up and had lunch together before I returned to Florida. Another visit, I met Donna with Rae in Va Beach and she suffered through our “Reunion”…so kind and understanding. I wanted to take them to Dinner and we went to Steinhilbers…Rae confiscating the Check before I could…I was staying at the Oceanfront just a few blocks from them (fortunately) as we both were overserved…and all the time between us disappeared, two old friends talking about our families, our friends, and I thanked him for his friendship…and he thanked me for mine.
So here I am in my Office tonight, I have been away all Week and I wanted to read his Obituary…and not surprised to read about his kindness, friendship and service to others…that was Rae to a tee…and I knew he loved his Children because I was there in the early days and saw them grow up, and later heard about them from him always proud and telling me about what they were up to.
I was 18 when I met Rae and he was 35….that puts things in perspective. He was successful, accomplished, and everything I wanted to be, and he took the time to know me, to encourage me and be a friend. I am a better person for knowing him and I will miss him for the rest of my days. There is no such thing as a perfect person, but Rae was a perfect friend, I hope I returned the favor.
I wish you all peace for your loss, God Bless each of you.
I’ll remember your beautiful smiling eyes. Betty, the light you’ve brought will always light my heart. I miss you. Aloha
Oh Connie, I will miss you so much my beautiful friend and your posts. Fly away my angel and keep us all safe, till the day we all meet again.
I will never forget you and you will always have a place in my heart….Love you always Demetra Daskalopoulos

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of a fellow QB pilot. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Losing a colleague and friend is never easy, especially in a profession as close-knit as ours.
I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and the entire QB community as you mourn the loss of someone so special. May you find strength in the memories you shared, and may the legacy of your friend’s passion for flying continue to inspire and uplift all who knew them.
You are not alone in your grief, and together, we can navigate through this challenging period.
Wishing you comfort and solace as you honor the life and contributions of your dear colleague.
With deepest sympathy,

Thank you Mr Dorsty for being a part of the creative minds who opened the eyes of us small town kids back in the early days of SWR! If only we knew what we had! Enjoy your next journey 💕
I will miss you dearly my friend!
I’m sure you’d be calling me that nickname you always called me from wherever you are now.
Rest In Peace my beloved friend!
Dear Donna and family,
Richard and I were so saddened when we learned of your loss. Although, we didn’t know Rae well, we knew what an amazing husband, father, step parent, mentor, successful businessman, Shriner, pilot, and volunteer he was, as he so unselfishly gave of his time.
It is your treasured memories of him that will keep him forever close and give all of you peace.
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
With our deepest sympathy and love,

Sending prayers to Edna’s family and friends. She touched so many people during her life and she will certainly be missed. In my youth, she was like a 2nd mom to me and I will always remember how she treated me like her own. I can still hear her laugh when someone, especially Jimmy, would say or do something kind of outrageous. She didn’t want to laugh but she did nevertheless. I will hold all those wonderful memories of my time with her close to my heart. Rest in peace!

Although we haven’t seen Katie in years, we will always remember our visits with her and all the laughs and good food! A giant freezer full. See you on the other side Katie!♥️♥️♥️
Bonnie was an ex-girlfriend and a friend. Everyone wants to know what I would just web search her just to see how she was doing and I heard about her stories on multiple occasions. I know she had a good heart and she was a lovely person. While she did make some mistakes Overall I think she was a very sweet spirit. And she passed away way too soon .
Ken brought much joy to so many. I enjoyed his enthusiasm for life. Whatever idea someone had
at model train shows, he would expand it times 5.
I always treasured time spent visiting.
Best Memory of Edna, is us selling Christmas Trees at the lot, Such Fun and you taught me ALOT!

I am so sorry to hear about Kay’s death. We lived next door to Kay for years and became “family”. Every week she cooked and brought some of her delicious food over, including the most delicious Italian food and desserts. She was the light of our life everytime she came over. My brother, Bubba, and I were close friends to her and to her sons, Ronnie and Joey. Everytime I pass my old family home in Brentwood, I think of her. Joey, Richard and I extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I will miss his humor and kindness. There was nobody like him for supportive listening . He was a great friend.
He was a kind, gentle man who faced his health challenges with dignity and courage. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
You will be missed! We love you Papa!
You are deeply missed but your spirit will always surround us. You are forever loved and cherished.
Dear Bill,
Lois and I worked together for Ruby Hearn at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. I am so saddened to hear about Lois’ passing. She’s been in my prayers since I heard that she had taken seriously ill. This is a fragile time … a time to be gentle with yourself and to give your heart permission to grieve, to feel and to remember. My deepest condolences.
Billy will always hold a special place in my heart! It was a pleasure to be able to cook for him for the past 13 years. I hope him and meekins are together in a boat drinking a beer!
Doug, Sherry and Dayne,
I loved Billy so much. He was my best friend. He was the best roommate and my heart is broken. I will miss him every day.

Sorry for your lost . Thought and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of “Little Jimmy” as that is what we called him long ago. I had always wanted a brother, so when my mom married Big Jimmy I had an older brother. He loved playing the drums. He had a set in his room, and wow he played them loud and proud !! The way he would sit at the bar, in the kitchen and cut his fried eggs, like cut and cut, the noise the fork and knife made clinking against the plate was unbearable and then he’d look up and laugh 😆 he was doing it on purpose I suppose to aggravate us. Those sounds have stayed with me for all those years and his big bright smile was contagious, along with his laugh. I regret not keeping in touch with him, but I always kept the memories in my heart 💜 may you all, his family and his friends know, that I send my love and prayers to each and everyone of you and may you all find peace, love, and comfort in our Lord. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
So very sorry to hear of “Jimmy’s “ passing. Very sad.
Matt was my company officer at USNA, and I got to work with him when we snatched the Army mules from West Point before the Army-Navy game in 1991, my senior year. Fantastic human and leader. So sorry to hear this news. I’ve always looked up to him.
My prayers are with you and your family, may the comfort of our Lord, give you peace and joy during this time
I look at the list of names in her life. Her spouse. Children. Grandchildren and many more. Then to imagine the friends as well and we see the magnitude of her impact. Our life grows with the people in it and she obviously grew a life of blessings for herself and others. I am glad my friend Missy has that with her now .
I remember Jimmy Trimble from Rockville High School. My daughter Donna Penn, was a good friend,..My prayers for the whole family in this time of grief and sorrow.
You all have been in our thoughts and prayers especially yesterday and today as you celebrated her wonderful life. Love to all!
She was my dear Aunt, sister to my mother Dorothy, and mother to my dear 5 cousins. My earliest memories of her were playing the piano and singing at our grandparent’s house before she married. She loved playing piano, singing, and music! Later in life she became my constant connection to my mom, and we shared memories, joys, heartaches, thoughts, and so much laughter and love! I will miss her so very much. All my love and deepest sympathy to my dear cousins, and all family and friends who loved her.
My deepest sympathy to Jimmy’s family. Fair seas & Godspeed, Jimmy.

I work in the building where the mosaic mermaid is located. It is stunning. I found some original sketches she did in the office of the Aviation Museum. They are incredible. If anybody in the family would like them, please contact me @ 248 921 5906. In the next couple of weeks, I was planning on framing them and putting them in our office. I am so sorry she passed. I was hoping to meet her.
Fair winds and following seas my friend.
Aunt Marge you loved your family and loved life to the fullest! You will be missed!
I will truly miss this lady. She was bright and funny. We had a great time picking blueberries at my moms, and I have wonderful memories of lunches and pink flamingos. 💗
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hickey family. What an outstanding life he led.
I’m very fortunate to have known Frances. I enjoyed interesting conversations with her over coffee as she would share with me her fascinating life history as a child growing up and life overseas. She’s very proud of her daughter a teacher, her son-in-law and her two very talented granddaughters. Her home was filled with family pictures and mementos of their accomplishments. Heaven has welcomed a precious soul.
I met Marge many years ago when she was a “Pink Lady” at Highland Hospital in Shreveport, La. She was my favorite volunteer and over the years that she worked in my department we became friends. I especially loved her sensitivity and sense of humor, as we shared our feelings and stories. We became fast friends and stayed in touch even after we both relocated to different parts of the country. I have always thought of Marge as a role model, that if I can age as she did, I will be a better person in so many ways. I will never forget you, your smile, and the love that you so generously shared with so many during your life.
Jimmy was my 1st company and football teammate, a real good and funny guy. I haven’t kept up with many after KP but we would trade comments over social media. My condolences to the Trimble family and his community. I didn’t have much for kickers, but Jim was different, he was my guy! Godspeed Trim!!
To all the family I know that Pat is in a better place and I am so glad I got a chance to get to know her she was always smiling and so full of life enjoyed hearing her tell stories and just listening to the way she lit up every time she would speak of her life she was a wonderful soul and she will be greatly missed I love you Patricia Englant fly high with Jesus and until we meet again I will cherish your memories. With Love,
Marshell Dodson

it’s not good-bye, honey, it’s…”I’ll see you later”. I miss the daily weather updates “let the faucets drip tonight” “wear your long johns tonight”. It’s the “did “Crossed Eyed Mary” enjoy the watermelon I got him?”. It’s sitting and talking on the front porch for hours, between cups of coffee. Just a pair of old bedroom slippers, together,
No honey, it’s not goodbye, we’ll see each other later.
you are the light of my life.
not goodbye…see you later
So many wonderful memories of our dear friend Jimmy- Love you!
Rest in Peace Uncle Clam. We miss you so much.
Jimmy, Jimbo, Uncle Clam, One-Armed Busboy, Djibouti Jim~whatever name we called you, it was always with love and gratitude for having you in our lives.🤍😊You certainly made our lives richer with your humor and far-ranging knowledge of all things seaworthy and seafaring and more delicious with your clam feasts. Jimmy, you will forever live on in our hearts and be thought of when we gaze out to sea on the shore of our beloved Atlantic Ocean in Fenwick Island. Godspeed, James South Trimble.🙏🏻🕊️☀️🌊🛳️🤍🏖️
I love you and I miss you
Dr./Mrs. Hickey/Family: While I did not know Matt, we did know, at least a little of the Hickey family, from our days at Southward Ho CC. My brothers Hugh/Sean (I have 6 younger brothers; 5 of which caddied at SHCC after I did), I believe, caddied for Dr. Hickey on many occasions. All summer, EVERY summer – for years- the dinner talks at the Duffy house centered around: who you caddied for, how they did, was it work (the beach (traps…(:); a walk in the woods (tree trouble…(:)….or comedy central (most of the time)). Dr Hickey was ALWAYS kind and gracious, not to mention a GOOD golfer. I would have to think Matt was the same, esp after reading of his exploits.
MY brother Hugh reported to me last night that Dr Hickey and Jerry Loeber (who refed some of my HS basketball games) won the member-guest in 1975!!! Wow! Very good competition there!
Meanwhile, we would see Mrs Hickey constantly taking kids to activities. I remember thinking at the time that the Hickey’s were a happy family…just doing ordinary things.
My brother Neil (USNA ’84) also had Matt come and speak to his Norfolk Academy physics classes on occasion…and reported that he was the “star of the show”!! Kuddos to Matt for helping kids!!
Please accept our sincere condolences…and rest in the joy that Matt lived such a good, happy, busy, productive, helpful, service-oriented life that made this crazy world a (much) better place. We need MORE Matt’s, not less!! That is what I will be praying for – for him, for you, and for all of us here.
Please send me the details of the USNA Chapel service when it occurs, as I live in the Annapolis area….and will try to attend. That I can’t guarantee, as my wife has Alzheimer’s’, but I will make every effort to do so. To say “thanks” to Matt….and to say “thanks” to the outstanding Hickey family for treating the Duffy boys so well…so long (50+ years) ago!!! Dennis Duffy 3450 Merrimac Rd Davidsonville, Md 21035
Rest in peace, Jimmy (Jimbo) … I have been praying and thinking of you and your entire family. I would always smile and reflect upon my days with your loving sis whenever I passed by your street in Fenwick or when visiting my parents. I loved your big smile and giggle. Now, I pray for some peace in the hearts of your beautiful family … while you watch over them. Love, Mary (Dionisio)

Paw Paw was truly a great man who gave his love and time to everybody. We even named our first born after him. Thank you for all you have done for this country and our family. You are loved and missed every day. 😘
I should have been contacted and put in HIS obituary since I am his FIRST BORN.
You’re always in my heart. I love you. – DeeDee

Lost Harbor, by Leslie Nelson Jennings.
“There is a port of no return, where Ships may ride at anchor for a little space.
And then, some starless night, the Cable slips, leaving an eddy at the Mooring place.
Gulls, veer no longer. Sailor, rest your oar. No Tangled Wreckage will be washed ashore.” You’ve Crossed the Bar, your Journey’s over. Rest in Peace, R. Michael McNamara, R.I.P.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Sending loving thoughts and prayers.
Bea was an amazing woman and greatly missed. Prayers and condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sure she was an amazing mom/woman. Thinking of you and your family during this time. Sending love and prayers. Love Jenn
Our deepest sympathies! We wish we could be there to celebrate Danny’s life with you. May you find peace and comfort in God’s love!
Lisa & Curt,
Too soon to be reading this after the News of your Dad.
Joan and Rae were two very special people in my life and we had so many good times together, many of them along with both of you. I used to enjoy our Cook-Outs and Sailing, Holidays. We had some truly fun times!
Both your Mom and Dad were very close friends to me, my brother Walt, and both of my Wives Sandy and Linda.
Your Dad and I stayed loosely connected over the years largely due to my traveling and living away. I am very glad that he and I reconnected at my own Parents Memorial Service when they passed away. We had lunch that Week before I returned to Florida…it was a great opportunity for me to thank him for his friendship and encouragement over the years.
My Memories of them both will always be happy and I believe they each never stopped loving one another. I know they wer enormously proud of you both.
I cannot make the Service as I would Normally…I am battling Cancer myself and have a pretty strict treatment regimen that restricts my travel.
Just know that I am thinking of them and the both of you and you are in my Prayers! Howard
I just found out that Kurt passed. I admired Kurt for his intellect in many subjects. I think fondly of his antics – you never knew when Kurt would get one over on you. Judy, I hope you are well. Kurt – Rest In Peace and know that you made the world a better place for all of us!
Bonnie you were on my mind. please accept my condolences. Love you lots.
We shared wonderful memories of our teens, what a time in the fifty’s. Enjoyed keeping in touch through the years. I will miss our monthly phone rant! Lol! Rest in Peace. Love, Woody and Mary
Ed was always considerate, thoughtful & kept his promises.
I met Martha after moving to Gainesville in 1987. She and my mother were first cousins but we had never met. After Martha’s sister learned I was here, Martha called. My husband and I met her and became friends as well as relatives. I thank God for the times we had together. Martha was, and I believe, still is one of the most loving, mature, godly women that I have ever known. She had such a close relationship to God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). May He comfort each member of the family, her friends and all who love Martha.
Mary Ann…my deepest sympathy to you during this time of great loss. You are in my thoughts and I pray that God will bless you with strength. Danny will be missed by many! With love…..Sharon
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.
Donna was indeed a love-filled and gracious spirit who led a joyful life, in spite of her illness and the challenges she met along the way. She was proud of her family and held on to long term friendships that meant so much to her. She was a problem solver and always had solutions to suggest no matter the problem. I cherish her and her memory. With love and deepest condolences to her family and many friends.
How we will miss our sweet Donna! There was truly never a sweeter person. She loved everyone so deeply. She has left a mark on this world that will continue for generations. Much love to you all!

You’re in a better place now with all your memory and pain free … you will be forever missed 🫶🏼
It’s so hard to believe this wonderful, beautiful person is gone. Please take comfort in knowing that she is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and is looking down on all of you with that beautiful smile on her face.
Ann and I both started our civil service career at Ft Monroe working together in the same branch. We became great friends and coworkers. She had a kind heart and would do anything she could for you. I have very fond memories of her and will cherish them. My condolences to her family.
Rest in peace Dan
I miss you grandpa
May you rest in joy and peace, Dear Aunt Marge. Very sorry for your loss, Cousins! Marge’s husband was my Uncle Pat. He was Brother to my Father: Bob. When the Pat-Marge Clan lived in Richmond, VA, I had the privilege of getting to know them and love them more deeply than mere dna connections! How I loved her over our lifetime!
