Arthur "Bud" Shands Heald Arthur "Bud" Shands Heald, 90, of Lynchburg, passed away Monday, Sept. 6, 2010, at his residence. Born Nov. 28, 1919, in Swampscott, Mass., he was a son of the late Wistar Morris Heald Sr. and Lois Shads Taylor. Bud was a lifelong member of St. John's Episcopal Church, where he was baptized, married, a member of the Vestry and teaching Sunday school. Bud served in the United States Army, serving during World War II. He was stationed for 18 months in England, France, Belgium and Germany with the 195th QM Gasoline Co. His college education was cut short by the draft so his loyalty for his Alma-Ata, Virginia Episcopal School always remained firm. He was honored by the school in October 2003 for his gifts to the Loyalty Fund and his years as the representative for the class of 1939 with a "Bud Heald" day. Bud spent his working career as a corrugated box engineer and salesman. He worked for Carolina Container, Robert Gair Corporation and retired after 18 years with J&J Southeast Container Company in Martinsville. The Heald's have always been "Sport Nuts," and Bud was no exception. He lettered in four sports while at VES. He made the football team as a walk-on a UVA as a freshman. He was a intramural champion in boxing. As the years went by, fishing gave way to tennis and then golf. In his later years, participating in sports gave way to watching all sports on TV. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Ann Fitzgerald Heald; one brother and sister-in-law, Wistar M. Heald and his wife, Emily Hoskins Heald; and one daughter, Ann Garland Heald. He is survived by his son, Robert "Bobby" Shands Heal,d and his wife, Dale J. Heald, of Holly Springs, N.C.; one nephew, Wistar M. Heald Jr., of Apex, N.C.; two granddaughters, Macon Ashley Heald, of Seattle, Wash., and Shannon Heald Poteete, of Chapel Hill, N.C.; and two great-grandchildren.

June 27, 1935 -September 2, 2010, Exactly four months after his diagnosis of and brave battle against the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, Ron Rhondeau passed away on Thursday, September 2, 2010, at the University of Virginia Medical Center., Ron was born on June 27, 1935, in Bronx, New York, the son of Jack and Rosella Rhondeau, and grew up in Pocatello, Idaho, where he attended school and graduated from Idaho State University. He married the love of his life, Carolyn, on October 31, 1958, with whom he spent 51 happy years. They moved to Napa, California, in 1969, where they reared their sons Steven, Lamont, and Christopher., During his life, Ron worked as a painter in Pocatello, and spent time before his marriage in the United States Army. But he will be fondly remembered by those who were his students and colleagues, as a teacher in the Napa Valley Unified School District for 32 years excelling primarily in teaching mathematics and coaching at Redwood Middle School. He was a natural teacher, possessing a rare blend of discipline, humor, and unusual common sense, and his students thrived under his tutelage., His greatest legacy, however, will always be his family. He reared his sons with integrity, and was a constant and sure example of sacrifice and diligence. But his most important gift to them was one of unconditional love and his unremitting attention and optimism in their lives.
