From Catherine Slusser Hudson ('64) of VA - 10/29/10,
9:22 PM - "Passing of a former member of the Staff of NNHS":
| Dear Carol:
It is great sadness that I inform you of the passing of my father Samuel "Jack" Jackson Slusser. He was the Supervisor of Maintenance for the Original Newport News High School and was there when the Auditorium burned down. My dad was 94 years old and he lived in Richmond, Virginia. He proudly served his Country with the U. S. Army during the World War and the Korean Conflict. He also was a member of the American Legion Post #25 and he was the Drum Major and Bass Drummer for the Virginia Gentlemen Drum and Bugle Corps and traveled with them to both Local, State, and National Competitions and Parades. On Friday 10-22-2010 he suffered a Cerebral Hemorrhage and was taken to Johnston Willis Hospital in Richmond where he underwent Emergency Surgery and was in NSICU until his death at approximately 2:30 pm today 10-29-2010.
Oh, Catherine, I'm so very sorry to
hear of your sad news! The loss of a parent is never easy, but to lose
your husband and father within the space of six months must be
completely overwhelming. I hope your memories of your dad will remain
ever sweet and near you. You and your family have our deepest
condolences and will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Amazing grace! (how sweet
the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
