I send Betty, and the family, my most sincere condolences. May God wrap His arms of love around them during this time of great loss. All attendees of Chapmanville Schools during the 50's, and beyond, were touched by Bill and Betty Lunsford . My association began at the Big Creek school before Chapmanville, where Nola Justice was my teacher. We, the community, were all very close and feel a great void at his passing.

I already miss him so much. I can still here him yelling for Linda. He always brightened my day. Everytime he saw me he would say theres my girl. I know she loves me. I remember one time he was watching tv and said they told him that he couldnt eat the candy that I brought him and wanted me to write down that it was ok for him to eat it and sign my name. I wrote down what he wanted but I wasnt sure what name to put because he called me by 3 different names. So I signed it Debbie and he looked up at me and asked Do you go by Debbie? He called me Libby, Linda, and Debbie.

Bill was a wonderful man! No matter how bad my day had been or how awful my shift had started he always made me laugh, and how he would keep talking so I couldn't leave his room. I didn't get to spend as much time with him as tater did, but I still enjoyed every minute I did get to spend with him. Sending prayers for his family.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Lunsford passing. I remember Mr. Lunsford driving our school bus when I was in the seventh grade at Chapmanville High School. He always made sure that all the kids where seated before he would move the bus. He was always so nice to the kids. God Bless you and your family.
