Charles Thomas Boggs, of Lexington, Va., died on Sunday, June 27, 2010, from complications of Alzheimer's disease. Charles, known to all as Chuck, was born on June 16, 1944, in Huntington, W.Va., to Henry Thomas Boggs and Jeanne Delporte Boggs. Jeanne Boggs still resides in Huntington; H.T. Boggs resides in Lakeland, Fla. Chuck first came to Rockbridge County as a freshman at Washington & Lee in 1962. He was immediately enchanted by the rugged beauty of Western Virginia. After completing his graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin he had the opportunity to return to Washington & Lee as a professor. He loved the university and was fully aware of how privileged he was to live out his life in such unique and wonderful surroundings. In a letter to a close friend, Chuck defined a life well lived as one spent in service to certain tasks: to develop oneself spiritually, to promote and preserve the good things in life, to be of some use and value to one's fellow beings, and to contribute something to the world. Chuck's life was a joyful tribute to these goals. Chuck's passion for an understanding of the good life led to a long teaching career in the Philosophy Department at Washington & Lee. For 37 years he was honored to play a part in developing the discernment of generations of young men and women. Chuck loved his work and his students. Chuck's contributions to the world include a devotion to various local conservation efforts. He worked energetically for the cause of wilderness conservation in Virginia. He was especially influential in the creation and management of the Rich Hole and St. Mary's wilderness areas. Chuck had a passion for the outdoors and was also involved in efforts to improve water quality and trout habitat in local streams. In the course of these pursuits, he made many fine friends and enjoyed many adventures. Despite the ravages of Alzheimer's disease, Chuck's gentle good humor and concern for others remained a witness to his deep gratitude to God and his enduring love for his family. In addition to his parents, Chuck leaves behind his high school sweetheart and wife of 45 years, Jean Burns Boggs; and three beloved sons, Charles Thomas Jr. (and his lovely wife of many years, Lynne), Ethan Andrew, and Jeremy Lewis. Chuck loved deeply and was deeply loved. He will be sorely missed. His quiet wisdom, his humor and kindness, his deep and peculiar intelligence, his great enthusiasm for adventure in wild places, and his ease and enjoyment of living will be cherished by all those blessed to have known him. All arrangements are private. Arrangements by Harrison Funeral Home & Crematory, Lexington, Va. |

She enjoyed exercising at the Portsmouth YMCA, shopping, getting her hair styled every week and always looking her best. She was very beautiful and always young at heart. "Jo" is now celebrating eternal life in heaven with her daughter, her mother and father and her sister; amongst many other friends and family. She was predeceased by her parents, Ernest and Nancy Ippolito; sister, Nancy Roacher; and daughter, Diane Marie DeMatteo.

DeMatteo, (Michelle), Tina DeMatteo and Joseph DeMatteo (Trish). Josephine is also survived by her two brothers, Dominick and Ernest Ippolito; along with 17 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Her soul and spirit shall remain always. Her love, her smile and her presence will be greatly missed.

Mr. Farrell began his career practicing corporate law at the law firms of Mudge, Stern, Baldwin & Todd and Olwine, Connelly & Chase in New York, N.Y., and later returned to Syracuse to join the law firm of Mackenzie, Smith, Lewis, Michell & Hughes. In 1962, he accepted a position as senior attorney in the international division of Reynolds Metals Company in Hamilton, Bermuda. Mr. Farrell was appointed assistant general counsel of Reynolds International, Inc. when the division was relocated to Richmond in 1965 and was elected vice president and general counsel and secretary in 1982, continuing in that capacity until his retirement from the company in 1998. Beginning with his time in Bermuda and throughout his 36-year career with Reynolds, Mr. Farrell continuously traveled across the world to Reynolds' foreign subsidiaries and affiliated companies. Mr. Farrell will always be remembered by his wife, sons, grandchildren, relatives and extended Reynolds family as the ultimate "straight-arrow": a self-made man and consummate professional who prized honesty, integrity, courage and high standards above all else. At the same time, he will be greatly missed for the warmth, humor, devotion and love he brought to his family and the wonderful example he set for all who knew him. The Farrell family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 30, at Bliley's-Central, 3801 Augusta Ave., Richmond, Va. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Thursday, July 1, at 10 a.m. at St. Bridget Catholic Church, 6006 Three Chopt Road. Entombment will immediately follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery, 1400 S. Randolph Street. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association at Alz.org, 4600 Cox Road, Suite 130, Glen Allen, Va. 23060. |
