Owen B. Pickett VIRGINIA BEACH - With family members by his side, former United States 2nd District congressman and Virginia General Assembly delegate Owen B. Pickett passed away peacefully after a full and rewarding life Oct. 27, 2010. A true son and servant of the Commonwealth, there are few if any Virginians who have not benefited from Congressman Pickett's lifetime of dedicated and loyal service to his fellow citizens. Mr. Pickett received his undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech which was followed by a law degree from the University of Richmond's T.C. Williams School of Law. He was a member of the Virginia State and District of Columbia bars, and became a Virginia Certified Public Accountant in 1955. Prior to entering politics, Mr. Pickett was a founder and principal partner of several Virginia Beach law firms, most notably the firm of Pickett, Lyle, Siegel, Drescher and Croshaw. A lifelong Democrat, Pickett was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1971 where he served eight consecutive two-year terms. In 1981, he served his party as the Virginia State Democratic chairman. In 1987, Pickett was elected to the House of Representatives where he served as Virginia's 2nd District congressman for 14 years. A member of the House Armed Services Committee during his entire tenure, he distinguished himself as an outspoken advocate for a strong, technologically superior military, an improved quality of life for military personnel and their families, and the enduring support of military facilities in the greater Hampton Roads region. Returning from Congress to his Virginia Beach home, he worked "Of Counsel" with Troutman Sanders LLP, was a member of the Senior Fellows Program at Norfolk's Joint Forces Staff College and a member of the prestigious Fourth Circuit Judicial Conference. Throughout his life, Mr. Pickett generously supported numerous benevolent organizations, both fiscally and through personal involvement. Most notably, he was raised to Master Mason in Lynnhaven Lodge No. 220 and affiliated with Norfolk Scottish Rite bodies as a 33 degree Mason where he supported Shriners Hospitals for Children as a Khedive Motor Patrol member. He was a Virginia Beach Lions Club member and founder of the Virginia Beach "Meals on Wheels." Pickett served four years on the Board of Directors of the Hampton Roads Partnership, helped establish the First Landing Foundation exhibits at Fort Story, served on the Old Dominion Research Foundation, and was a past president of the Hampton Roads Navy League. Mr. Pickett is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Sybil of Virginia Beach; his sister, Evelyn Carneal of Doswell, Va.; his three daughters, Laura Pereira of Mattapoisett, Mass., Karen Pontes and Mary MacLeod of Virginia Beach; and eight grandchildren spread throughout the country. The family wishes to express deep appreciation to Mr. Pickett's many, many supporters who loyally voted him into public office time and time again. They are also grateful to those friends who remained close to Owen during recent years as he battled chronic illnesses in the face of long odds. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 4 p.m. at Great Neck Baptist Church, 1820 General Jackson Drive, Virginia Beach.

Retired U.S. Army 1st Sgt. Robert Paul (Bob) Davis, Petersburg, passed on to his Maker on Oct. 27, 2010., He is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Elfriede F. Davis, and his loving son, Kenneth S. Davis., First Sgt. Davis was born in 1937, and raised in Winfield, Kan. He joined the U.S. Army in 1957 and served multiple tours of duty at Fort Lee and in Germany, Korea, and Vietnam. During his many years of service to the Army, Davis was recipient of numerous awards including the Bronze Star Medal, Air Medal, two Meritorious Service Medals, Vietnam Medal Cross of Gallantry with Palm. Following his 26-year career retirement from the Army in 1982, he and his family settled in Petersburg, Va. The Department of the Army Civil Service subsequently employed Davis, for 22 years, as 23d Quartermaster brigade postal officer at Fort Lee, where he received the Department of the Army Superior Civilian Service and Civilian Achievement Service Medals., Davis was a devout American patriot, dedicated to his country and its history. Throughout his lifetime he was a passionate student of American history with specific interest in the study of the American Revolution and U.S. Army Quartermaster history. Over many years he gained status as a writer, author and speaker on various facets of military history. During his military and civilian career he was also at times affiliated with the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum at Fort Lee. Davis was elected to the Company of Military Historians in 1974 and became a periodic contributing writer to their quarterly journal., Davis' particular area of historical concentration was the American Revolution, which began while he was Fort Lee's representative to the Petersburg American Revolution Bicentennial Commission in 1975. His subsequent studies, research, and writings led to the first-in-history, comprehensive account of the Revolutionary War Battle of Petersburg. Concurrently, Davis authored and published the biography of the British commander of that battle, who is buried in Petersburg's Blandford Church Cemetery: "Where a Man Can Go, Major General William Phillips, British Royal Artillery, 1731—1781." In conjunction with the Petersburg Department of Tourism and Museums, Davis founded the city's annual reenactment of the Revolutionary War Battle of Petersburg and later produced 16 yearly events, which brought many reenactment units from along the eastern coastal states to the city. Throughout his 20-plus years of study, research, writing and promoting, it was Davis' principle goal, and his legacy, to provide Petersburg with a historical recognition and heritage claim equal with other major American Revolutionary War battlefield sites., A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010, in the Petersburg Chapel of the E. Alvin Small Funeral Homes & Crematory, 3935 S. Crater Road, with the Rev. David Prather officiating. Interment will be private.
