We have sad though somewhat belated news today. Cecil Baines, Class of 194_, widower of Nancy Wood Baines, passed away in Newport News on Saturday, June 10, 2020 at the age of 90.

From the Daily Press - 07/12/20:

Cecil Randolph Baines, Jr.

			NEWPORT NEWS - Cecil Randolph Baines, Jr. passed away suddenly on June 20th, 2020. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 63 years, Nancy Wood Baines. Cecil was a lifelong resident of Newport News, the only child of Ruby Smith Baines Jenkins and Cecil Randolph Baines, Sr. He was a veteran of the Korean War. He is survived by his son, Edward (Becky) of Newport News; grandchildren, Erik (Meredith) of Richmond; Alan (Kimberly) of Christiansburg; and Sherry (Ross) of Newport News; and three great-grandchildren: Thor Bjoern, Thadeaus, and Sigrid. Cecil also leaves family and friends behind, including Wayne Reed, his fishing buddy. Cecil was born in 1930, and attended and played basketball and ran track at Newport News High School. , Upon his return from Korea, he married Nancy Wood and started his career with Newport News Shipbuilding, where he worked until his retirement in 1991.

	Cecil and Nancy were active square dancers and traveled up and down the East Coast participating in competitions for many years. They were also avid fans of ODU's Women's Basketball team and went to countless games both home and away. In their later years, they spent a lot of time at the cabin they built themselves at Lake Gaston. It gives us great comfort to think that Cecil is now happily reunited with his sweetheart Nancy. With the COVID-19 spread, a private celebration of Cecil's life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2020. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to Warwick Memorial United Methodist Church, 38 Hoops Rd, Newport News, VA 23602.

The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Done

Text: Anonymous Latin; translated by Francis Pott (1832-1909)
Music: Giovanni P. da Palestrina; arranged by W.H. Monk (1823-1889)
Tune: VICTORY, Meter: 888 with Alleluias

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shout of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
He closed the yawning gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!
