Hyman Hy Gordon LOS ANGELES - Hyman Hy Gordon died Oct. 23, 2010. Born in Portsmouth June 25, 1928, he was predeceased by his parents, Ruby Joseph and Sarah Gordon; daughter, Janet Gordon; and sister, Audrey Danoff. Survivors include a son, Ruben Joseph Gordon and two granddaughters, Rio Ren'ee James and Debbie Gordon, all of Los Angeles; a brother, Alvin Gordon and wife Elaine of Memphis, Tenn.; his dear friend, Margo; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Hy loved to learn about new things and worked at a variety of jobs in his life. Late in life, he sold time shares and prepared taxes for H&R Block. Hy did not live to work, he worked to live. He did not wish to amass worldly possessions. This philosophy allowed him to work, then travel and keep the cycle going. World travel was a great focus and his explorations took him across several continents to Asia, India, North America, Australia and Europe. Bathing in the Ganges and communing with his guru were signal moments for Hy, but his daily walks on the beach on both coasts of America were just as important. Laughter, loving, giving and sharing were so important to Hy Gordon. His spirit of adventure lives on in his favorite words, "Why not?" His positive nature endeared him to people of all ages and walks of life. Hy was a man who was forever young. He embraced new ideas and choices, loved meeting new people, and never knew a stranger. Music was important to him and he amassed quite a collection of all types. He was also a gifted writer; his descriptive letters were a joy to receive as he traveled abroad. He loved the outdoors, enjoyed hiking in all terrains, and appreciated all of nature. He always had a fun ride and even named some of his cars: "Buttercup," a large yellow Dodge van and "Old Paint," a white Honda Prelude. In Florida, he owned a dark blue convertible Miata. A funeral will be held today, Oct. 27, at noon in Gomley Chesed Synagogue by Rabbi David Goldstein. Burial will be in Gomley Chesed Cemetery. Sturtevant Funeral Home, Portsmouth Blvd. Chapel, is handling arrangements. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of your choice. www.SturtevantFuneralHome.com. |

Robert O. Halstead VIRGINIA BEACH - Noted wildlife conservationist Robert O. Halstead died Monday, Oct. 25, 2010, at his home in Virginia Beach. Halstead was born in Munden, Va., in 1921. He grew up hunting, trapping, boating, and fishing on Back Bay and Currituck Sound. Halstead served in the U.S. Navy, 1945-1946, and from 1947 to 1948, was a Virginia state game warden. In 1949, he began a distinguished law enforcement career with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For more than 30 years, Halstead was involved in virtually every aspect of wildlife management and conservation law. He was a strong advocate of federal and state programs to promote gun and boat safety, acquire critical wildlife habitat, and expand public opportunities for hunting and fishing. Halstead frequently educated government officials and members of Congress about these issues during hunting and fishing trips. In 1970, Halstead was awarded one of American Motors Conservationist of the Year Awards for developing and implementing programs teaching young people about wildlife. Halstead loved to hunt ducks and geese, with shotgun and camera. He said he had been born at just the right time to help enforce the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which outlawed market hunting and laid the foundation for U.S. waterfowl sport shooting. As Federal Agent-in-Charge for North Carolina, he developed special expertise in waterfowl management. His responsibilities included bird banding and population surveys, and advising Washington on policy development, as well as law enforcement. Halstead specialized in undercover investigations to break up illegal commercial hunting for ducks up and down the Atlantic Flyway. In the 1970s, as a special undercover agent, operating nationally out of a fake business in Delaware, he deployed similar techniques to enforce the Endangered Species Act. He was well-known among his peers for actions against the illegal trade in eagle feathers and sea turtle jewelry, and for a landmark case against illegal trophy hunting for desert bighorn sheep. After retirement, Halstead was revealed nationally as the "Undercover Wildlife Agent," based on James Phillips' 1981 book by that title, about his major investigations in Alaska, California, Louisiana, and other states. For most of the past three decades, Halstead was resident manager of The Flyway on Knots Island, N.C., a private hunting lodge owned by his longtime friends, former Congressman Ogden R. ("Brownie") Reid, and his wife Mary Louise Reid of New York. He was active in the Back Bay Restoration Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving water quality and wetlands. He was president of the North Carolina Salt Water Sport Fishing Association in the 1960s, and a member of Ducks Unlimited. He was a member of the Masonic Orr Lodge 104 of Washington, N.C., for half a century. Halstead was a kind and generous man, beloved by family members and many special friends. He once said he learned the art of hospitality from his mother and the art of politics from his father. His door was always open to neighbors, hunting and fishing enthusiasts, conservationists, local community leaders, and elected officials. He was "Uncle Robert" to 20 nieces and nephews. He loved, and was loved by, his many dogs, including Brownie, Peppie, Rip, Bessie, and Mike, but especially Mim, a black lab he owned for 20 years. He was preceded in death by his mother, Malinda West Halstead; his father, Roland O. Halstead; his siblings, Mildred H. Johnson, W. Ray Halstead, Hattie Halstead, Helen H. Chessman, Otto V. Halstead, Rowland O. (Sonny) Halstead, Mary H. Lindsey, and Betty Mae Halstead. He is survived by his sisters, Rosa H. Grimstead, and Florence H. Weidman; his children, Barbara (Walter) Humphries, Suzanne (John) Hoffman, and Robert J. (Margaret) Halstead; by six grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren; and by Gus, his last dog. A visitation will be held at the Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, 1264 Great Neck Road, Virginia Beach, 23454, from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28 (phone 757-496-9727 for directions). A graveside burial service will be held at Charity United Methodist Church cemetery, Friday, Oct. 29, at 11 a.m. Condolences may be offered to the family at www. hollomon-brown.com In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Back Bay Restoration Foundation, 3022 New Bridge Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23456 (telephone: 757-721-7666) or to the Creeds Fire Department, 595 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23457-1346 (phone: 757-426-2771). |

William Howard (Bill) Richardson William Howard (Bill) Richardson, of Lynchburg died Monday, October 25, 2010. He was born April 6, 1920 in Locust Gap, PA, son of the late John H. and Laura M. Richardson. Bill was predeceased by his loving and devoted wife of 65 years, Jane Young Richardson. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Donna and Frank Whitehouse and his two beloved grandsons, Benjamin Record and William Bennett Whitehouse. During his final months, he was lovingly tended to by his caregiver, Emma Jones. A selfless man who considered others at all times and never required or requested anything for himself, Bill received great pleasure in making people laugh with his never-ending supply of jokes. He adored children and was affectionately called Buddy Pop by his grandsons and neighborhood children alike. As a child raised in the Depression, he was practical and adept at repairing items, a talent that earned him the title of MacGyver Pop. Bill served his country during WWII in the US Army 299th Coast Artillery in Sitka, AK and was a 32nd degree Mason in the Franfort Lodge, Philadelphia, PA. Many will miss seeing Bill walk Peakland Place with his (now) ancient bassett hound, Emmi. They were perfect companions on their rambles, always agreeing on the need to stop for conversation with neighbors or a brief rest. A celebration of Bill's life will be conducted at 4:00 p.m., Friday, October 29 at First Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Dr. John Scholer officiating. The family will receive friends in the church narthex following the memorial service.
