Oscar REDD Obituary
His life began on Jan. 26, 1953, the son of Margaret M. Redd and the late Oscar N. Redd Sr., in King & Queen, Va.
He was educated in the King and Queen Public Schools.
At an early age, he confessed Christ as his personal savior. Oscar was a faithful member of The Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith until his health began to fail.
Oscar, in his quietness, was warm, gentle and kind. He was employed as a truck driver for TCS Materials for more than 30 years. He took pride in his cement mixer and he had the cleanest truck in the Williamsburg area. Whenever you met Oscar, you could always count on seeing his smile.
He is survived by his loving wife, Lelia Bradsby Redd; his four daughters, Tonita "Lynn" Wynne (Larry), Vernee' Redd, Natasha Redd and Monique Redd, all of Williamsburg, Va.; his five grandchildren; his mother, Margaret Redd of King & Queen, Va.; his sisters, Ruby Lipscomb (Arnick) of King & Queen, Va., and Judy "Maxine" Bullock (Tyrone) of Petersburg, Va.; his brothers, Robert Redd (Mary), Ricky Redd of King & Queen, Va.; James "Jimmy" Redd (Sandra) of Hampton, Va., and Tony Redd (Sandra) of Tappahannock, Va.; his mother-in-law, Emma Bradsby; his sisters-in-law, Sarah Goodson, Veronica Bradsby and Eva Redd; his brother-in-law, James "Chicken Neck" Bradsby; his special friends, John Wallace, Tyran Thomas and Brent Thomas; his caregiver, Katisha Jones; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
A Homegoing Service celebrating his life will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009, in Whiting's Chapel with the Rev. Wilbert Warren officiating. Interment will follow at Cedar Grove Cemetery. Family and Friends will assemble by noon at 149 Winterset Pass, Williamsburg, Va. Mr. Redd may be viewed in the Funeral Home from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2009.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
