William Lawrence Lovedahl
(d. 18 Jan 2016)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
   The sad news continues today.
  Bill Lovedahl, brother of  Jimmy Lovedahl ('61) of VA and of the late Richard Lovedahl, Mack Lovedahl, Robert Lovedahl, Lucille Lovedahl Hill (16 June 1924 - 10 Nov 2008), Dorothy Lovedahl Griffin and Jane Lovedahl Houge (17 Oct 1926 - 28 Apr 1988), passed away in Newport News on Monday, January 18, 2016 at the age of 83.


     From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 01/27/16, 10:58 PM - More Deaths:

...William Lawrence Lovedahl, age 83, passed away January 18, 2016. He was the brother of Jimmy Lovedahl, class of 1961. I do not know if he went to N.N.H.S. or not.
I did not see him in the 1950 or 1951 yearbook. He had a private graveside at Peninsula Memorial Park on January 27th...
 

   Fred, I am so sorry to learn this. Thank you for letting me know; considering the age gap between Bill and Jimmy, I had been debating whether or not this was indeed "one of ours".

My dad, Sonny Chapman, enjoyed working with Bill and many golf and other outings during his retirement. He considered him a good friend. Sorry to read of his passing.

The Lovedahl family,

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. What a nice man Bill was. He broke me in for my first job at the shipyard in 1968 (the piecework counters). We worked together a lot of years and I would eventually take his place when he retired in '91. He helped me greatly and I really liked working for him and with him. My sympathy is with all of you and I'm sure each of you have many great memories. He always spoke highly of his kids.

Kenny, Randy, and Theresa,

My condolences upon the passing of your dad. Both he and your mom were fixtures in the old neighborhood. They don't have many neighborhoods like that anymore! It was a wonderful time and place to grow up. Your family had a lot to do with making it that special! I know his health was not going well, so I am relieved that those issues are now over, but he will be sorely missed.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

I know my family, (Nancy, David, and my mom, Norma Carmines) all feel the same way about him, and about you all.

Peace,

Robert Carmines

Mr. Lovedahl was one of us at Bethany UMC. He was in our Happy Hearts group, came to our lunches and frequently went with our group out to lunch. I remember having him come with us to Donk's Theater one Saturday. He was such a sweet and gentle soul. We have missed him and will always have warm memories.

Rock of Ages

Words by Augustus Montague Toplady, 1763 (first published in The Gospel Magazine, 1775)
(04 Nov 1740 - 11 Aug 1778)

Music by Thomas Hastings
(15 Oct 1784 - 15 May 1872)


Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee,
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and pow'r.

Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked come, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die!

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
