09/20/08 - NNHS Newsletter - C.D. Williams

Charles D. Williams
(d. 17 Sept 2008)

Newport News High School Class of February 1943

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   The morning brings us even more sad news.   C.D. Williams, Class of February 1943, passed away in Hampton on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at the age of 83.


   From Fred Field (June 1945) of CA - 09/20/08 - "Obit.":

Sat. Sept. 20, 08
 
Another childhood friend has departed.  C.D. Williams lived on Poplar Avenue. opposite the firehouse.  I remember him from Ivy Memorial days, Boy Scouts, and his strong work ethic that he inherited from his parents.  He set a powerful example for the younger crowd - one that we probably did not follow faithfully enough.
 
Interesting that his photo so much matches my memory. C.D. had small eyes, high eyebrows, prominent forehead, and head usually tilted slightly back.
 
C.D. was a NNHS graduate, class of  Feb. 1943.
 
Fred

   Thank you, Fred.  I wondered when I read this earlier this morning if this was one of "our people".  You have my sincerest condolences on the loss of your childhood friend.

Dear Family,
I just learned of CD's passing. I know this is a tough time for you and am praying for you during this time. He was a prince of a fellow and I will miss him on my periodic visits to Hampton.
I have so many friends in heaven that I look forward to seeing.
I owe you folks so much for your love across the last thirty-four years.
God bless you,

Betty and family,

CD was more than a boss. He was a true friend who always put others first. He guided me through rough waters many times. I was blessed to have him be part of my life.

Thine Be the Glory

Words by Edmond Louis Budry
(30 Aug 1854 - 12 Nov 1932)

Music by George Frideric Handel, 1947
(23 Feb 1685 - 14 Apr 1759)

 

Thine be the glory, risen, conq’ring Son;
Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o’er death hast won;
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.
Thine be the glory, risen conq’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won.

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
Let the church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.
Thine be the glory, risen conq’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won.

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conq’rors, through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.
Thine be the glory, risen conq’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won.
