03/22/16 - NNHS Newsletter - Pat Parker DiCarlo
Patricia Parker DiCarlo Warwick High School Class of 1958 |
Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
There is yet more sad
if slightly belated news this Tuesday.
Pat Parker DiCarlo, Warwick HS Class of
1958,
passed away in Newport News on Monday, March 14, 2016 at the age of 75.
From Mike Lindsay (Menchville HS - '83) of Northern VA - 03/21/16, 2:26 PM - "Obit in Daily Press":
Carol,
Hope you are feeling better and enjoying some spring weather in Fayetteville. We
actually had some SNOW Saturday at our home in Winchester.
I thought I’d pass
along the attached obituary from the Daily Press. Pat was Warwick ’58 but I
thought some of your readers may have known her or her parents. They were the
longtime owners of E&E Auto Parts on Warwick Boulevard (near Dean and Don’s
Produce). The business was a NN fixture for decades. It always looked forlorn
and run down but was actually a very lucrative business—--a regional Motorcraft
distributor (the Ford replacement parts).
My lovely wife is from the Roanoke area but has a whole Newport News side of the
family of whom Pat is one of the last ones. My small world story is that Pat’s
parents lived about a mile away from us in Denbigh and my family knew them or
knew of them a good 20 years before I ever knew Becky. AND, my late great aunt
and uncle, Atlee and Gracie Harris, lived two blocks away from them and had to
have known them.
We went to the funeral Friday—drove down that morning, did the funeral thing,
had lunch, and drove back to Winchester. Had something we had to be back for
that evening.
Anyway, thought I’d pass it along. Take care and get well.
Best,
Mike
Thank you, Mike.

This Is My Father's World
Words by Maltbie D. Babcock, 1901
Traditional English Melody (Terra Beata), arranged by Franklin L.
Sheppard, 1915
This is my Father’s world, and to
my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.
This is my Father’s world, dreaming, I see His face.
I ope my eyes, and in glad surprise cry, “The Lord is in this place.”
This is my Father’s world, from the shining courts above,
The Beloved One, His Only Son,
Came—a pledge of deathless love.
This is my Father’s world, should my heart be ever sad?
The lord is King—let the heavens ring. God reigns—let the earth be glad.
This is my Father’s world. Now closer to Heaven bound,
For dear to God is the earth Christ trod.
No place but is holy ground.
This is my Father’s world. I walk a desert lone.
In a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze God makes His glory known.
This is my Father’s world, a wanderer I may roam
Whate’er my lot, it matters not,
My heart is still at home.
