William Fitzhugh Byrd Jr.

I met Bill and Catherine at Columbia Church. As a newcomer, they welcomed me with their delightful smiles and loving personalities. I will miss you Bill.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Catharine, and family. But, I am
happy you were able to be together for so many years! It was about 20
years longer than Wes and I got! I'm sorry I won't be able to attend his services as I will
be traveling that day.

Blessings to you as you join the Sisterhood of Widows!

Catherine & Family,

I was very sorry to read about Bill. He was a gentleman, a selfless leader and a true inspiration for Vancouver.The International Walking Festival would never had come to fruition if not for the tireless effort and leadership of Bill & Catherine Byrd. Until we have a chance to take another stroll.....may Bill rest in peace. My sincere condolences to the entire Byrd family.

Catharine, I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was always so good to Friends of Hospice ... helping with poinsettias every year. I know you will miss your lifelong love ... my thoughts are with you.

Catharine, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Bill, becoming acquainted with you in FOH while we both worked on the Election Committee, gives me some insight. A spouse of yours would no doubt be a hard worker and some one you could count on. I am happy for you that you and your children had so many years to be together as a family. Thinking of you, Catharine.

Bill was a sweet man. I really enjoyed working with him as a Vancouver USA Volkssporter. He taught me a lot about the sport and being a club officer. Blessing to Catherine and family. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was a calm voice of reason on the Council for the Homeless. I was happy to later get re-acquainted with him through Rotary. He did so much good for our community.
