Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - September 21, 2001
John Gallaudette Wallace IV, 51, of Chesapeake, died Sept. 19, 2001, in 
Arlington, Va., following a car accident. 
A lifelong resident of Chesapeake, he was the son of the late John G. Wallace 
III and Louisa Sargeant Wallace. He had attended both Virginia Polytechnical 
Institute and TCC before completing his carpenters apprenticeship. He was a 
certified welder and piledriver and journeyman carpenter. Professionally, he 
enjoyed a challenge and he prided himself on doing things the right way the 
first time. He was a member and business agent for the Local 303 Union in 
Portsmouth until its merger in 1984 with Norfolk and Newport News. He later 
became president of Local 613, and at the time of his death was serving as their 
vice-president. He initiated the Organizing Program for Local 613 and had served 
as a union member for 30 years. His love of the union and service to its members 
took him to the Washington area to find union work. For years he traveled back 
and forth every weekend between his family and his work. All the members of the 
Local 613 will greatly miss his devoted service and his sense of humor. He also 
was a member and past vestry associate with St. Christopher's Episcopal Church 
in Portsmouth, and member of the Tidewater Blacksmith Guild. 
Survivors include his wife Elizabeth "Betty Gayle" Johnson Wallace of 
Chesapeake; their two sons, John G. Wallace V and Robert J. Wallace; his 
daughter, Elizabeth A. Wallace; his daughter-in-law, Sophie E. Wallace; and his 
grandson, Theodore G. Wallace. He is also survived by his brothers, Ben J. 
Wallace and George T. Wallace IV; a sister, Louisa W. Hammond; and a host of 
other family members and friends. 
Funeral services will be conducted at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in 
Portsmouth at 1:30 p.m. Saturday by the Rev. Jane F. Flaherty. Burial will 
follow at Magnolia Cemetery. 
The family will receive friends in the Chesapeake Chapel of H.D. Oliver Funeral 
Apts. from 7 to 8:30 p.m. this evening. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations 
may be made to the St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth or the Oasis 
Program of Tidewater, 1020 High St., Portsmouth, VA 23704.
