Dear Family of Byron: It was my pleasure to be a Byron's side on many occasions as I assisted him in playing bingo at the Beaver Valley Long Term Care Center. He was always a joy to be at his side. Sometimes, he didn't want to play, but a little coaxing with a piece of chocolate candy and a root beer drink did the trick and he enjoyed playing bingo for another time. I loved him and felt a great deal of joy in being close to him. He was always a gentleman.

Angie, I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Byron. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family. Byron, Earl and Bob are up in Heaven sitting around the campfire sharing Hunting stories. Byron always put a smile on my face he was one of my favorites. :(
