Herbert Quade

Age - 97

December 5, 2023

Herbert C. Quade, born July 21, 1926, passed away on October 7, 2023, at the age of 97. He was predeceased by his parents Herbert and Ethyl Quade and sister Etta May Johnson (Bob). He is survived by his wife of 70 years June Quade, son Preston Quade (Jean), daughter Eileen Sanders (Tom), grandson Dr. Patrick Quade (Meryl) granddaughter Laura Quade. A graduate of Denfeld High School in Duluth, MN, Herb joined the Navy after graduation. He had two tours of duty in the Navy: patrol in the Mediterranean at the close of World War II and action off Korea aboard the aircraft carrier USS Leyte during the Korean conflict. Herb had amusing shore leave stories from the Mediterranean (such as the day Elizabeth Taylor came aboard) and harrowing flight deck stories from Korea. On the Leyte at the time was his acquaintance Naval Aviator Jesse Brown whose final, fatal mission is documented in the book and film He met his future wife June of Proctor, MN, in Florida where she had relocated, and he was stationed. Since Herb was a career Navy man, the family relocated frequently before settling in Norfolk. Herb had a complete understanding of electricity and wireless communications. He first studied and later taught Naval Avionics and was an integral part of the team that designed and built the electronics for the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye Airborne Early Warning aircraft, (AEW). The Hawkeye is still flown and is a common site over Norfolk during training runs. Herb had a single-mindedness to make rank and by the end of his career had ascended to the highest non-commissioned rank in the Navy: Master Chief E9. Herb retired from the Navy at the age of 44 to pursue his varied interests. He drove a truck over the road for a few years before fully retiring. Herb had a lifetime interest in flight especially lighter than air aircraft: dirigibles and blimps. He half-jokingly said he was a reincarnated dirigible pilot from World War I. In his 80's he took a ride in a blimp and thoroughly enjoyed it. Herb always had a book going: current popular authors, aviation history, biographies of his heroes (e. g. Nicola Tesla,) and anything by Neville Shute, his favorite author. When home, Herb was the daddy of the block, neighbor children continually came over to see what Mr. Quade was up to in his garage and he kept their bicycles in good repair. While in the Navy, Herb was fastidious about the condition of his uniform. It was always squared away and this carried over into civilian life. When socializing he always wore creased slacks and ironed shirts. Which is not to say he ever learned to iron his clothes. Herb liked to be on the move. He bought his first Airstream trailer in 1965. Subsequently the family spent holidays and long weekends camping in the California hills and beyond. Years later Herb and June laughed to see that some of their trailer experiences were duplicated by the shenanigans enacted by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in the comedy --think large rock collecting. After upgrading to a larger Airstream, Herb and June joined the Wally Byam Caravan Club International. They took yearly club "caravans" to sites all over North America. Herb knew his rig inside and out, from repairing the propane refrigerator to repacking the bearings. He performed all the routine trailer maintenance himself and wrote safety and maintenance articles for the Club newsletter He also taught AARP driver safety classes. Before and after caravans, they would visit camp sites on the way to or from the caravan site. They took the Airstream to Duluth for yearly family visits or for Herb's high school reunions, which he much enjoyed. Herb loved to drive. For many years he drove for the Red Cross to pick up blood from blood drives and take it to designated Red Cross facilities or hospitals. He was ready to go on a day's notice and was awarded a distinguished volunteer award. Herb had an infectious positive attitude and a story or joke for most occasions. He had a gift for Scandinavian accents which enhanced his favorite joke about Swedes on a fishing expedition or the latest Ole and Lena joke. His height and presence made him hard to miss. When you met Herb Quade, you met somebody you'd not soon forget. A memorial service will be held at a later date. The Quade family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Commonwealth Senior Living at the Ballentine and to Trinity Hospice for their care and affection, especially during the last weeks of his declining health. The staff's kind and gentle ministrations during this difficult time made him as comfortable as could be and he appreciated it.Show more

Age - 61

Derrick G. Ryals, Sr. , 61, passed away Monday, November 20th, 2023 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He was born April 21st, 1962 to Elsie Ryals and John Nelson in Bronx, New York. Shortly after graduating from William Howard Taft High School in New York, he would begin his career in the Navy where he would eventually meet the love of his life, Theresa Walker, and bring to the world his two sons Derrick Jr. and Justin.

Still willing to serve, Derrick would dedicate an additional 12 years to the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office and the citizens of Virginia Beach. Derrick was a remarkable husband and father. Family meant a lot to him. He was a challenging chess player, he loved art, and was an avid fan of boxing as well as the New York Giants. In fact, it was extremely rare you would be able to spot him out in public not representing their team colors of red, white, and blue. Derrick is survived by his wife Theresa; two sons Derrick Jr. and Justin; two grandsons Abraham and Asaph; and siblings Walter Jr. , Sabrina, Elvira, Warner, and Todd. Derrick was predeceased by his mother Elsie; his father John; and brother Rex.

Geraldine Creech

Age - 80

December 5, 2023

On Thursday, November 30, 2023, Geraldine Ann Creech was welcomed into Heaven with open arms by her personal Lord and Savior, her sister, Nancy, and many other cherished friends and family. In the book The Tipping Point, author Malcolm Gladwell talks about three archetypes of people: mavens, salespeople, and connectors. Mom was a connector in every sense of the word, a person who "links us up with the world. . . a person with a special gift for bringing the world together". She was curious, self-confident, sociable, energetic and joyful. Her most extraordinary gift, however, was that she did not know a stranger. Perhaps that explains why she was able to foster hundreds of authentic and personal relationships throughout her lifetime. One might think Gerry had many interests. . . bowling, golf, coaching, Nascar racing, camping, dancing, travel, karaoke. She certainly did enjoy and was actively involved in all of those, some for which she held leadership and/or volunteer positions, everything from President to Clean Up Committee. But the truth is, Gerry was much more interested and invested in the friendships and connections she made with the people she met along the way. Mom LOVED helping others! She was asked to co-coach a softball team for the Azalea Little League, which she gladly accepted even though she had never coached a team sport, other than refereeing spats between her two rambunctious children. On and off the field, she was one of the best coaches in the league, worshipped by her little Cupcakes and Ladybugs and their families. She recently told me she regretted not having taken better care to preserve a signed softball by one of her teams, as some of the names had started to fade. Gerry LOVED to dance! She was a member of the Virginia Beach Shag Club for decades and was deservedly inducted into the Shagger's Hall of Fame. And Gerry LOVED to sing! One of her favorite pastimes was performing at her favorite karaoke venues. Without a doubt, she was Geraldine the Karaoke Queen singing her beloved Patsy Cline numbers and other country classics. The family was overjoyed to have just recently celebrated Gerry's 80th birthday. Mom was so delighted to spend this momentous occasion with her sister, Marie, with whom she shared a very special relationship and a crowd of other family members whom she loved with her whole heart. For Mom, nothing compared to spending time with her family. She especially adored her six grandchildren, endlessly showering them with praise and support. She was so proud of them all. Gerry was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, GiGi, and treasured friend. She continually expressed her gratefulness for those relationships and bonds, sharing how blessed she felt. Her words of wisdom and selfless acts of nurturing love will be cherished forever. The family would like to extend a special "Thanks" to Terry for her volunteer work with the Alzheimer's Association in honor of her Aunt. A visitation will be held at Rosewood-Kellum Funeral Home on Sunday, December 10 from 5-8pm. A Funeral Service will be held at Rosewood-Kellum Funeral Home on Monday, December 11 at 10am, with Burial to follow at Rosewood Memorial Park. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, December 22 at 6pm at Real Life Christian Church, 900 Centerville Turnpike N, Chesapeake VA 23320.Show more
