January 22, 2014 A great man, from the greatest generation. He will be missed. The light of this country has dimmed with his passing, but I am sure that heaven rejoices. ~ Mary Susan Urrutia, Kansas City, Missouri Contact Me
What a truly good man. I worked for Huyke (he was
Asst. Dept. Head) when I first came to the shipyard
and many years thereafter. He was very smart and had
a great sense of humor. Nobody had better people
skills and he took care of his people. I always
enjoyed his company. He and Peggy made a great
couple. This earth will miss him but I have no doubt
he's gone to a better place. My heartfelt
condolences to Peggy and family.
~ Jim Lewis, Newport News, Virginia January 22, 2014

With deepest sympathy to Mrs. Urrutia, HB, and Bernie and family.

O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
