Hello,
My father Timothy Whittington attended Great Bridge High School and graduated in 79 or possibly 78. I wanted to let everyone know that on August 14th 2003 my father was killed in a single car accident on 1-70 in Kansas City Kansas. It may seem odd but my father talked about hi high school years alot and I was born soon after he graduated. He talked so often of all of his friends I feel like I know many of them myself. If you could please post a little bit about my father It would be very greatly appreciated! My father was an Microsoft certified systems engineer and worked for Burlington Northern Railroad in Kansas City Kansas. He has 4 children Tarah (myself) 24, Tim Jr. 23, Devon 22, and Jessica 21. He also has 7 grandchildren. My father was a great guy and I just thought he deserves to be remembered. thank you very much! Please feel free to post my e-mail address if anyone would like to contact me for any reason!! Tarah Whittington-O'Brien

Dear Bryan,
One idea I had for the Great Bridge High School site was some sort of memorial for one of my friends, Andrea(rising sophomore)B. Deller, who passed away on June 19, 2004. I think it would be something that many people would appreciate because so many of us were friends with her. In case you do not know, the details are found below. Please consider this suggestion, because she meant so much to many of us.
Yours sincerely,
Hannah Richard

Andrea Bliss Deller, 16, a student at Great Bridge High School, died in a highway accident near Savannah, Ga. at 10:27 a.m. Sunday, June 13, 2004. Andrea, her sister, Rachel, 15 and brother, Thomas, 12, and their two aunts, Margaret and Jennifer Deller, were en route to visit their grandparents in Largo, Fla. Rachel and Thomas suffered injuries, but were released from Savannah Memorial Hospital on June 16. Andrea was the daughter of Bliss S. Deller of Chesapeake and Petty Officer First Class Keith F. Deller of Groton, Conn. She was the granddaughter of Lucia Ann (Bliss) Hay of Hillsboro, Ill. and Thomas C. Hay of Indialantic, Fla. and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Deller of Largo, Fla. Mrs. Thomas A. Bliss of Hillsboro, Ill. is her maternal great-grandmother. Andrea is also survived by her brother, Nicky Patterson, 6, of Chesapeake; her mother's fiance, Navy Commander J.K. Sellers; aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. William Spencer of Largo, Fla.; her boyfriend, Mark Copeland of Chesapeake; and her stepfather, Nick Patterson of Virginia Beach. A memorial service will be held Monday at 6 p.m. at Messiah United Methodist Church at the corner of Dominion Boulevard and Cedar Road, Chesapeake. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Andrea Bliss Deller Memorial Scholarship Fund. Checks may be made payable to Great Bridge High School, 301 Hanbury Road North, Chesapeake, VA 23322. Friends may call to pay their respects from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at 708 Waterford Court, Chesapeake.

It's hard to loose a classmate, even harder when they are so young. Andrea may no longer be with us in body but the Class of 2007 will always have her spirit.
Our hearts and sympathy are with Andrea's family and everyone she has left behind.

Along with Andrea, our class has also lost two other people taken too soon, Miss April Carolyn Townes and Mr Nicholas Stephen Rosso. Both were dear to our class and will be greatly missed during our senior year. I'm sure many of their friends and family would appreciate their being added to this site, because they are surely not forgotten.
Thanks,
Kate Welsh

Memories of our classmates

Hi Bryan,
I stumbled across your website by accident. I see many wonderful tributes to a lot of my old friends and classmates on there, including my high school sweetheart, Paul Adams. My brother, Craig Smith, passed on March 7, 2017. He was GBHS Class of 1988. I think adding his name to your site would be a beautiful tribute to his memory. Craig enjoyed fishing with his son and attending concerts with his fiancé and her daughter. He enjoyed building things and working with our other brother, Ryan. He was a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan and Three Car fan. Craig is not only my brother, but he was my very first friend and taught me everything I ever needed to know to be cool. I’ve always looked up to him and still seek his protection and guidance in maneuvering through life. Sorry this is so long but there are not enough words to express the love I have for this guy.
Thanks,
Amanda Smith Brewer

Hi Bryan my name is Sarah Devincenzi Ferguson who was a drop out which i will advise no one to follow me in doing so. however I went to school with carole and knew her from the first grade. She always was a beautiful person inside and out. I still have a valentine card that she gave me! I have cherished every memory of every one i have met . She was special and i hope she did well in her life. The card was signed "to my best friend ever!" well a lot of the past has changed but never the memories of all the nice people I met in school. I never remember bad things going on at great bridge high school in the 1960's. I went on to educate myself and I still am doing that. Stay in school kids even though I did not I am still married to the love of my life and it will be 52 years of ups and downs. I was lucky but not all are. So my advice is if you do not want to struggle through life get an education. Respect yourself and others. Thank you Bryan.
well wishes to all
Sarah D Ferguson

Hi Bryan. This is Sarah Ferguson again. My husband Jim Ferguson graduated from Great Bridge High in 1961. I recently replied to the request from Carole Sheltons family. Now I am told by Jim Ferguson that many of our classmates and neighbors have passed. I am so sad to hear that they had left us so early in their lives. Angela Sabato and I went to school together and were the quiet shy ones lol. Well I moved to sparrow road and met Jimmy who lived next door. We did not have to get married but back then it was a time when you had to move on and let your friends not be influenced by your actions. It was the best of times when I knew all these nice people. Bryan do keep this site going. It helps us all to remember to reflect to pray and to realize that every second on earth is precious and all of the young people on here seem to be very happy and doing well with their lives and I hope that life will continue to be precious to them. Thank you again Bryan and good luck to you also! Sincerely Sarah D Ferguson p.s. I did choose a very good man and life and I continued my education and Jim received his masters degree from North Carolina State. Sometimes God has plans for us that we do not even know about.

Hi Bryan,
I have an unusual request. When I moved into my house 31 years ago there was a silver bowl left in the house that was a gift to a Coach Ridings from the athletes of G.B.H.S. from 1946-1955. I have kept this bowl all these years in case the family ever came back to see the house but nobody ever came back. Is there anyway that you or your alumni could share history about this coach or old yearbook pictures about this person because I have always wondered about it. Thank you for any help or history that you could provide. Thank you, Angel Harrington.

I do not have any high school pictures of him such as yearbook pictures or maybe some classmates have pictures with him.

Hey,
Not sure if it's in you rmemoriams or not. I didn't see it, but I wanted to add to the list our mother, Dorothy C. Williams, who was a Guidance Director at Great Bridge Middle School for many many years. Mom passed away in 2005. She touched the lives of sooooo many students and all who came into contact with her. Me and my sister Gretta (Williams) Waugh(class of 1979) would like to thank all who loved mom and still let us know how much she touched your lives. Your memories keep her alive in our hearts.

Hi, I was looking up the name of one of my class mates Chris Ivey whom passed too soon. I notice that another student that we lost while in middle school that should of graduated with us ( CHRIS IVEY) and myself in 1993 was Vincent Mercer was not on your page. I agree with whomever gave you the idea to start this page. These wonderful people were in our life's and need to be remembered!!!!
Here are 2 pictures from my year book from 6th Grade.
Thanks
RIP VINCENT AND CHRIS you two are gone but NEVER NEVER forgotten!!!

I wrote you yesterday about adding Vincent Mercer whom I attended school with. I was looking on your website and didn't see another friend of mine that passed too soon. Warren T Trueblood Jr....He Graduated in 1989 from Great Bridge. His birthday is May 24, 1970 and death date was Jan.14,1994- 23yrs old. He was like a brother to me, I was best friends growing up and still friends with his sister. Her daughter and my daughter/children have grown up together and it would be awesome to have him added to this board. He was a great, sweet, gentle person!!! I think of him often and all the times I shared with him and his sister. Well his whole family...Thank you for your time. God Bless.

Hi Bryan,
I meant to update to you when I asked my husband, Greg Immler, who also went to GB, about Pam Martin. He informed me that I am confusing her with Pam Love. So I thought again, and I have to correct my response to say that yes, I do remember Pam Martin, and yes, she is sweet, smart and gorgeous, and I still hope she is happy in Sarasota, but she is in the class of 1973 as her sister thinks (not 1972). I remember Pam Martin because I knew Kathy Boucher, and her sister Theresa. Kathy and Pam were good friends. Sorry about the mix-up. I don't understand why Pam's picture is not placed with those for her class at GB, but maybe she was just absent that day :)
Greg (Immler) also sends his condolences to the family members of our deceased classmates and wishes to add that he was a good friend of ChucK Mamoudis, in addition to the others I mentioned, and that he is very sad to hear of his passing.
Can you post this as a correction? Again, sorry about the mix-up! Thanks for running this site!
Linda Immler

Hi Bryan,
I came across this site and was horrified to learn of the many people I knew at GBS who are now deceased. My heart goes out to Donald Strohecker's wife and to the many loved ones of Phil Smith, Marion Scarborough, and Stanley Lancaster, the three of whom I knew personally. They were all great guys! What a terrible loss.
To Debbie Martin, sister of Pam Martin, who wrote in your Class of 1973 News site (I think it was!), your sister was in the Class of 1972. Do not worry, we will not forget her, as she was (and probably still is) sweet, smart, and gorgeous! I hope she is happy in Sarasota, even though she has a teenager :)

Hey Bryan! I just checked out your site for the first time. The posting I saw from Angelika for the Class of 1990 struck me. I was SCA President that year and was fortunate to serve with Julie. We were a pretty close group back then. And Angelika is correct, Julie did pass away on Nov 30, 1989. Every Christmas I hang an ornament on my tree in her honor...it's a simple miniature version of a cookie tin with a read ribbon that allows for hanging. Inside I keep her Senior picture, a dried rose and a date record stating that Julie Marie Snyder was born on October 27, 1972 and died on November 30, 1989. Thanks for remembering her Angelika...and Bryan...please include her among our Classmate roster.

Hi Bryan,
My husband, Joseph L. King c/o 1996, was killed in a car accident on Sunday, September, 21, 2008 in Phoenix, AZ. He leaves behind our two beautiful daughters and numerous family and friends. He was loved by all who knew him and touch many lives in his 30 years. He will be missed by all who knew him, if anyone would like to send condolences they may do so by going to www.grahamfuneralhome.com. I have attached a picture for your use as well.
Sincerely,
Michelle N. King c/o 2000

Bryan,
My name is Tom Meeks, the oldest brother of Michael Meeks...
I came across your Great Bridge Memoriam site today -
First, let me thank you for including my brother on your site. It's wonderful to know that he hasn't been forgotten by his peers, even after all these years.
Second, I noticed a very warm submission from one of my brother's friends, Caitlin Revell:
"I came across your site and when I saw the picture of Mike Meeks it brought back a lot of memories. I have lost touch with his family when they moved back to Tennessee but I've always wanted to let them know that I still think of Mike, as I'm sure so many of the other people that had the pleasure of knowing him still do. He was the kind of person you could meet just once and never forget. I actually had a huge crush on him, he was a grade older than me and I met him the spring before he was killed and hung out with him that whole summer. He was always so funny and so ready for anything - truly an amazing person. His death was a tragedy, his life was far too short and he missed out on so much, and so many people missed out on knowing him. I would really appreciate it if you could post this on the memoriam page, I hope his family will see it - Mrs. and Mr. Meeks, Tom, Andy, Laney and Keeka. I hope they're all well, they are a great bunch of people."
It was very moving to read something about my brother from someone who was close to him at the time. It occurred to me that I should perhaps try to contact her to let her know that her submission had been seen by our family and so deeply appreciated. Unfortunately, all searches to find a method of contact for her have been unsuccessful.
I am hoping that you might have an email address for her, and perhaps would be willing to pass it on to me for this purpose?
Kind Regards,
Thomas Meeks

I came across the memoriam that you set up for Great Bridge High. When I saw the picture of Michael Meeks (Class of 1997) it brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy that his classmates and friends remember him so fondly after all these years. Thank you for the picture, the kind words and the rush of sweet memories that your site brought to me today.
Sincerely,
Jessica Wilson (class of 95)

Hi Bryan,
My mother, Marjorie K. Mastracco, was a teacher at Great Bridge High School. She passed away on July 22, 2007. (Breast Cancer). I thought having my mother as a teacher at the same high school I attended would cramp my style - but she was such a blessing and a security to me during those years.
Many of my classmates and her fellow teachers attended her Celebration Service this past year. My mother left a wonderful Christian legacy with her 4 daughters, 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
She is missed daily.

Hi Bryan...
My brother, Paul Harris - Class of 2006, died on September 20, 2006 as a result of brain injuries from a single car accident on Waters Road on September 13, 2006. He was loved by all who knew him. We set up a website www.caringbridge.org/visit/paulharris when he was in the hospital and have continually kept it up throughout the past year. Paul was an incredible young man who had his entire life before him. He is survived by my mother and father, Chuck and Cindy Harris; my sister, Emily (Harris) Ackerman - Class of 1998; my husband, Jeff Taylor - Class of 1994; his nephew, Morgan Taylor; his two nieces, Ella Ackerman and Gracelyn Taylor; and myself, Hillary (Harris) Taylor - Class of 1994.Thank you for listing Paul on the memorial page. All of us still mourn his tragic death.
Yours truly,
Hillary Taylor

This is really great you have a Memorial for all of the Great Bridge alum.
Owen Czapiewski class of 2002 “Great Bridge” passed away July 29, 2006. He had recently graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice. Owen was visiting family in Minnesota when he passed away he was involved in an all-terrain vehicle accident when he crashed into a house where he had been visiting family. Owens was a great buddy, he stood up for everyone and was always on time and willing to help with anything asked. He took heat for me once and it saved me from getting kicked out of school. It was his idea what we did on the field trip and he owed me a favor at the time but he could of pin the whole shebang on me but he took blame for it. A great buddy. Now I would like to repay the favor by requesting you to post his name on this wonderful site.
Thanks,
Jacob

Bryan,
Thanks for keeping the Great Bridge Memorial web site going. I didn't realize so many people I knew in high school had passed on. I graduated from Great Bridge in 1994, and knew a lot of those from different grades as well. Please keep this site going in their memories.
Respectfully,

Hi Bryan, My name is Sabrina Campbell, Class of 1997. I was the girlfriend of Matt Hunt when he died all to soon in his life. I can't even begin to explain how I felt when I saw this website and came across Matt's name and picture.... Wow.... Memory Lane ;-) It's really nice to know that his name is still living on to others even today as I often think of him still. I keep in touch with his family Mr and Mrs Hunt, Patrick, and Mike. All are doing very well living in Sandbridge. Matt's birthday passed last week and I can't wait to tell his mom about this website!! She'll be so happy to see his life being remembered... Thanks for keeping this site up and running ;-)
WE MISS YA MATT!!!! R.I.P -- Sabrina Campbell

There is one person missing from your memorium section who was a graduate from Great Bridge. Teresa Dell Garrison (Cutrell-married name) graduated around 1970 or 1971 and she died in September of 1998. She was like a second mother to me, and her daughter, Melissa, was like my sister. I was attending GB when she died... I was in the 10th grade. I will never forget the warmth and love she spread while on earth. Teresa will never be forgotten.... Love you Miss Teresa!!!!
Dana Di Peri
I also have a comment for the memorium section on David O'neal and Chad Guilfroy, both of the class of 2001.... both of them died in the same car accident on the first day of tenth grade in 1998. I remember David the most. I had had a crush on him since 6th grade!!! I will never forget.
You have a wonderful website... thanx so much!!! Dana

Hello Bryan,
I would like to add Kim Marylin Sivels Class of 1982 to list of members of are class gone but not forgetten. We lost Kim on July 28, 2005. Her smile will truly be missed.

I was reading Great bridge High School's "in memoriam" and saw my moms name (Michelle Williams class of 1981), I thank you all so much for my moms tribute she loved Great Bridge, and was a very dedicated mother and daughter, sister and friend. I miss her so much and she also worked at verizon wireless as senior sales rep. for 11 years and was top at her position. She was excellent at whatever she did, especially being there when you needed her the most.
Thank you so much

Bryan,
I love your site. Thanks so much for all your efforts and hard work to keep the alumni in touch. I am a class of 86 graduate and we will be holding our 20 year reunion on June 10. We would like to acknowledge our deceased classmates. Do you know what happened to Michele Davis and Mike Donnelly? It is always so sad and shocking to hear that someone from our class has passed.
Thanks again for the Memorial page.

Hi, I am Leslie Morrow, c/o 98..and was shocked when I read the news about Johnny Lee Hall, Jr....do you have access to the info on what happened to him? I knew him from the 6th grade at Crestwood Middleschool, then we saw each other in the halls of GB high. I wasn't close buddies with him, but we'd talk sometimes and i remember he always had a big smile on his face and was soo funny. Any info provided would be much obliged. Thank you!~ Leslie

Larry Owens, class of 1963?, died October 2000 from heart failure. This is to share with his classmates from his brother John. He will always be sorely missed and loved.

Dear Bryan - I don't know how to thank you for putting Ronnie's picture with his name! I have attached his obituary which appeared in The Virginian-Pilot as well as a link to a guest book the Baltimore Sun has reopened for me!
I have found over the past 2 years that stories of him have helped so much with my "healing process". I don't know if you can do anything with either of these but thought it was worth a chance or if anyone would like to contact me directly @ trish.boliek@earthlink.net I would love to hear from them.
Again, my many heartfelt thanks for the site you have created!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trish Boliek

Hi there, came across your website and wanted to share this with you. I dont know if anyone remembers her or not. But my mom Martha Doughton class of 1968, passed away in 2001 at the age of 51. She talked often about her high school over the years, although I dont remember any of the names she used. She lived on Whitehurst rd, now called Ewell Lane in Chesapeake. She raised us three girls almost by herself. She was a very unselfish person and never judged anybody for anything. She had six granbabies when she died. We miss her dearly! Thanks Jennifer

I would like to pay tribute to Johnny Lee Hall Jr. (C/O ’98) who passed away in early 2005. We knew each other from Elementary School. We’ll miss u J Hall!
Chuck Lloyd

Thanks for this kind gesture of honoring those that have "graduated" before us into there eternal destiny. I would like to remember my dear friend and classmate Stanley Earl Lancaster, class of 1974. "Big Red," as he is affectionately known, is greatly missed and it would be a shame for him not to be remembered along with others from the alma mater that he loved so dearly. If it is possible, please include Stan in your memoriam.
Respectfully,
Rolfe Carawan '74

I also would like to pay tribute to Wayne Wyatt "Class of 1986" He was my neighbor and friend we grew up together as kids. He was a sweet and loving person, two days before he died he made a point to visit my mother who was just home from the hospital. No only was he a great athelete he was a great friend who brought joy everywhere he went. He will be greatly missed.

I hope you can add my mother's name to you're list of Great Bridge High School alumni that are no longer with us. Linda Lee Evans, class of 1965. She passed away December 26, 2003. She talked fondly of her days at Great Bridge. Thank you,

Hi, my name is Courtney Fleming and I am Brad's older sister and I am 23 yrs. old. I found the Great Bridge High site online and saw that Brad was included in the people that are no longer with us but nothing had been said about him. Well I was not one of his classmates...but I was the closest person to him and I felt like something should be said in his memory. He was killed in a single car accident on Johnstown Road, he was a backseat passenger and the only one killed. He was my best friend. He had no idea how many people really cared about him because that viewing service was packed with kids, they just kept coming in, my whole family was very pleased and surprised by the turnout. I counted how many came to the service and it was over 250 people. I am glad that Brad touched so many peoples lives. I just want his memory to stay alive in everyone's hearts as it will in mine. He had the purest soul and was the first to help out in any situation whether it be family or friends. He was the kindest person I have ever met and I am lucky to have had him as a brother. You can post my email if you would like or I can even provide pictures to post, just let me know.
Sincerely,
Courtney Fleming
We all miss you Brad, I love you...

I recently visited the Great Bridge High ('70) site and would like to add my brother to the memorial page. His name was Sgt. Carl Wayne Baker and he died April 24, 1980 in Germany while serving with the Army. He died from a heart attack in his sleep at the age of 20. He was a member of the class of '78.
Thanks for the great sight!

Phil Smith Class of 1972 and Donald Strohecker Class of 1972
Both of these gentlemen were friends from school..... It's so sad to see their names listed here, but thank you for a place to come and remember them. I wish I could have spoken to them one more time, it's been so many years. God.. Phil was so handsome and Donald was a great guy.
God Bless all, and peace be with you.

I attended my reunion in 96 and learned at that reunion that Wayne Wyatt class of 1986 died. He was a great person, very athletic and very sweet. He played for the GB Football team during high school. He worked after that at Tidewater Construction, which is how he died on the job.
Thank you

Memories Are Worth A Liftefime Of Cherished Happiness

I often look at the picture that we took in Mrs. Scotts gym class. He was such a clown, always making me smile when I was having a bad day. I can not remember one time that he was having a bad day. So when the news was out that he was dead due to being shot, that was a big shock. Also it opened my eyes to how short life really is, and how you never know when it is your time. So remember to live life by the fullest and treat others as you would like to be treated. MISS YOU LIL MIKE.

Requests

Hi Bryan,
I have an unusual request. When I moved into my house 31 years ago there was a silver bowl left in the house that was a gift to a Coach Ridings from the athletes of G.B.H.S. from 1946-1955. I have kept this bowl all these years in case the family ever came back to see the house but nobody ever came back. Is there anyway that you or your alumni could share history about this coach or old yearbook pictures about this person because I have always wondered about it. Thank you for any help or history that you could provide. Thank you, Angel Harrington.

Request for pictures
"I recognize many of the names on the memorial page. I was even friends with quite a few of the people, but unfortunately, I can't remember some of the faces. Is there a way to provide a picture of these people and a brief statement of their deaths? I know that this would ultimately be up to the families to provide the information. My heart really aches for some of the losses that I've read of and I'm sure that many other people feel the same. It would really be a wonderful thing if you were able to make some of those names come to life. -- Thanks!"

I think it would be nice to be able to put a face with the names of our former classmates. For those that would like to have a picture posted with the name, you can send me a jpeg image with the name and class and I will post it unless requested not to do so.

Request for class information
There was a boy when I was in about 9th grade, I think, who was hit by a car while riding his bike down Mt. Pleasant Road. He was one of the most popular boys in our class at the time because he was so nice. His name was Michael Meeks. I think he deserves a place on this page. He was the first person I knew that passed away and it really hit me hard.
I honestly don't know what class he was in. Maybe if you post it in the discussion forum, others will remember him and you can find out that way. I think he would have graduated in '98 or '99 but I honestly don't know what grade he was in.

I knew Mike. He was in 8th grade at the time. He was in my English class. He would have been in the graduating class of 1997.

Thanks Christina for your help with this, Bryan
