brother of
Loretta Scull Herbert ('54),
and
John Scull ('64) of VA, passed away in
Hampton on Wednesday, February 17, 2017 at the age of 81, just eleven days after

From John Scull ('64) of VA to
Dave Spriggs
('64) of VA - 09/05/17, 6:55 PM - "Information on the deaths of NNHS grads...":
Dave, I'm not sure how you want to work this, but I have the info and if you would forward it to the site manager, I would be grateful. My brother was Robert C. Scull, Class of 1952. He was born on July 29, 1934 and passed away on February 17, 2016 at the age of 81. He died from complications to a COPD condition. My sister was Peggy Louise Hodge, nee Scull, Class of 1960. She was born on April 18, 1942 and passed away on February 6, 2016 at the age of 73. I don't actually know the cause of death for my sister. It was a confusing time, with the funerals several hundred miles apart on consecutive days on the same weekend. I was in charge of my brother's and had to miss my sister's. I suspect there might be old friends and classmates out there that would like to know. Both obituaries are out there if you Google them. There may be information there that the site manager would want. Let me know if I need to do more. John |

John, It is a good thing that you are doing. Old classmates DO care about these things and will appreciate knowing about your siblings. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have any photos of them which you would want to accompany the entry, please send them to me. Carol may scan their senior year Anchor photos. David |
Gentlemen, thank you so much for the information. I didn't see it last night, but I've been processing it all morning. John, I can barely conceive of the unfortunate timing of the deaths of your two siblings. You have my deepest sympathies. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

February 19, 2016 To John and Loretta, Words cannot express adequately how much my heart aches at the loss of Bob and Peggy so close together. Not to forget D'Arcy's sudden passing as well. Bob was my "Uncle Bob" ... my memories of him include his showing up at Mom and Dad's house in his Chrysler New Yorker and Momma going nutty over it. He'd come in on his way to and from Baltimore and Newport News, have dinner and visit and off he went. My love to you and your family and my prayers are with all of you. Love, Dorothy ~ Dorothy Newcomer, St Petersburg, Florida |
Our deepest sympathies
are extended to Robert's family, friends, and classmates at this difficult
time.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have
Buckroe!Love to all, Carol

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 09 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
