Bill was a long time active member of Calvary Baptist Church and he served proudly in the U.S. Army, assigned to the Pacific theater in World War II. After the war, Bill had a long, successful career with C&P Telephone Co. where he retired in 1982 after 35 years of service. He was a very civic minded person, enjoying 41 years of service to the Lions Club of VA having served as president of both the Christiansburg, VA club and, most recently, the Brookville-Timberlake Lions Club. He was very active in the Telephone Pioneers of America. Bill was an avid woodworker, crafting specialty wood items that he loved to share with family and friends.
In addition to his wife, Dickie, he is survived by three children, Sharon W. Cyphers (Bill) of Greenville, N.C., Terry R. Wood (Phyllis) of Bedford and William A. "Rusty" Wood (Lisa) of Forest and six grandchildren, Christopher Todd Cyphers (Susan), Jason Ashley Cyphers, Jessica Elise Wood Clark (Brad), Wm. Johnathan Wood (Natalie), Bryan Ethridge Wood and Andrew Patrick Wood; four great grandchildren, Elise Miller, Katherine Cyphers, Grace Wood and Madison Clark; one great great grandchild, Haven Eliza Mendyke and numerous nieces and nephews.
