Bud Jones
(d. 17 Sept 2006)

  

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   Sad news has arrived once more.   Bud Jones passed away on Sunday, September 17, 2006.  Visitation will be held on Thursday, September 21, 2006 at Calvary Baptist Church in Newport News at 6:00 PM.  

  From Barbara Brewer ('69) of VA - 09/18/06:

..... My sister called me this evening and told me that Bud Jones had passed away.  He was a good friend of    Charlie Vellines ('65), and I assume must have attended one of the high schools in the area, maybe even good old NNHS......

   Thank you, Barbara.  I'm so sorry to hear this.

  


  From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of VA - 09/20/06 - "Bud Jones":

Hi, Carol,
 
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news again, but     Richie (Allen - '66 - of VA) asked that I forward the following information.  A good friend of ours, Bud Jones, passed away Sunday night after a long battle with cancer.  He lived in North End, but dropped out of school at an early age.  He was friends with a lot of NNHS students, and according to Richie, "hung out" at     Charlie Vellines' ('65) house with him.  As there won't be a funeral nor will there be a notice in the paper,  we wanted to get the word out as soon as possible about the visitation tomorrow night. 
 
  

I'm also attaching a picture of Bud and Richie that was taken in July by my brother    (Johnnie Bateman - '68 - of VA)   Bud was a house painter by trade and due to his illness, was unable to work.  He'd been customizing fishing rods to try to make some extra money.  This is one that Richie asked him to do in Virginia Tech colors for him.

Thanks in advance for your help and everything else you do.
 
Love,
Sandi

Morning Has Broken

Words: Eleanor Farjeon
Music: Traditional Gaelic


1. Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word!

2. Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

3. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation; praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation of the new day!
