LONG, Louis Lee Sr., on the morning of Sunday, August 25, 2013, the sun rose for the first time in almost 91 years without Louis Lee Long Sr. there to celebrate the beginning of a new day. We honor the memory of this wonderful man, thankful for his unfailing help and guidance that he gave unselfishly to all. Born on November 6, 1922 in Danville, Va., he joined the Navy in WWII flying the Dauntless dive bomber and many other aircraft against the enemy. His escapades would fill a book but his most heartfelt adventure began while training to go to war when he met the love of his life, Anne Inez Goff. Married in 1945, they had three children. Graduating from UVA as a chemical engineer, he worked for Philip Morris continuing his Naval career for 22 years. A National Rosaraian and 33rd degree Mason, he would gather up his family for travel adventures that are cherished memories for several generations.
Predeceased by his wife and son, he is survived by his daughters, Linda Will Long and Dianna Long Hurt; as well as grandchildren, Graham Hurt, Kaitlin Hurt, Paul Hurt, John Long and Michael Long; his great-grandchildren, Christopher Hurt, Matthew Hurt and Lain Long.
A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Friday, August 30, 2013 at Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church, 7000 Park Ave. Graveside service to follow at Westhampton Memorial Park, Patterson Ave., afterwards, friends and family will be received at the home of Louis Long for a celebration of his life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Richmond Rose Society/ Anne and Louis Long Fund 804-457-4139; Children's Hospital Foundation 804-228-5826; or Science Museum of Virginia 804-864-1547.
