William Paul Banfiel

I am so saddened over hearing of the loss of a lifelong friend. Billy was my very first love, but just friends over the years. Our paths would cross once in a blue moon. His family was so special because of their closeness and I always knew his Mom was the glue that held them together. Mrs Banfiel, I will be praying for your comfort in knowing Billy was a Christian. For his brother Johnny and sisters Ruthey and Diane(I didn't know Diane), my heart goes out to you for the loss of a dear...

Bill (cuz) was a blessing to many people lives, including mine.I too have lost a great friend.He will never be forgotten only missed more everyday. Love, Linda Clements

Etheleen, Diane and Ruthie,

Words cannot help during times like this, but be assured that you have the thoughts and prayers of many friends who care for you.

I am sorry to hear that Billy has passed. Billy and I were friends and foes as teenagers in Wythe. I remember the 64 or 65 Chevy that he fixed up into a really nice ride and had me shaking in my boots racing down Kecoughtan Rd.

Rest in Peace Billy.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My heart goes out to all of you... I am so sorry for your loss. Remember that those we hold closest in our hearts, never truly leave us... Hugs to each and every one of you... you are in my thoughts and prayers...
