NEWPORT NEWS - Martin Junior Vellines, 82, went to be with his Heavenly Father on Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2007.

Born in Isle of Wight County, he had been a Newport News resident for over 65 years, where he retired from the Newport News Shipyard after 42 years of service in management and production planning. He also served an apprenticeship at Virginia Engineering for production planning. Martin was a member of Rock Church of Newport News for 30 years, serving as deacon, trustee, present elder and head of ushers. He was also an avid rose gardener and past member of the NASCAR Association.
 

  
 
 
 
He was preceded in death by his parents, Martin and Callie Vellines, and one brother, Charlie Vellines.

His memory is left to be cherished by his loving and devoted wife of 64 years and 11 months, Dasye Vellines; two sisters, Kathy Plank and her husband, Tim, and Betty Brewer; five nephews and three nieces with their families; and his extensive church family and neighbors.

The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, at Peninsula Funeral Home. A funeral service will be conducted at noon Saturday at the funeral home, officiated by the Rev. Bill Haynes. Burial will follow in Parklawn Memorial Park.

You will be missed dearly. You put so much joy into everyone's hearts. When ever we saw you, you always had a smile on your face. We will never forget you. We love you.

 We are very sad to hear about the loss of our true friend. We will miss him very much. We do rejoice, however, in knowing his deep love and commitment to God have taken him to a much better place. "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." Revelation 14:13. Our prayers are with Dasye and his family that God will give them peace, courage, comfort, and strength during their time of great loss. May their days be filled with fond memories of their beloved. Your friends in Christ, Jim, Lynne, and Charity Brinkley

Oh, How I Love Jesus

Words by Frederick Whitfield; Traditional American Melody
 

There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest name on earth.

chorus:
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

It tells me of a Saviour's love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner's perfect plea.
(chorus)

It tells me what my Father hath,
In store for every day,
And tho' I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
(chorus)

It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.
(chorus)
