William Earle Betts Jr.

Although I don't believe I had the priviledge of meeting Mr. Betts myself, I am deeply grateful for his service to Lynchburg College as well the many other educational, civic, and religious organizations to which he contributed so generously and unselfishly. My prayers and thoughts go out to his extended family. What a giant of a man - he will be deeply missed by many.

I was sorry to hear of Mr. Betts's passing. It was my pleasure to work for him for 11 years. To the Betts family, I will only say that he lived a full and inspiring life. May GOD bless you and give you peace during this time.

A great employer, a wonderful person to learn from about life.

WOW, what an amazing man! He will now take his place in Heaven next to the Almighty Architect.

To the Betts Family,

During my years as CEE Department Head I greatly enjoyed the many opportunities that I had to come and visit with Ping. I was always fascinated by his sharp memory and his love for his profession. He was also quite proud of his education from Virginia Tech, and we were very proud of him as well. Ping was also a Southern gentleman of the highest level - just a wonderful soul who I will miss greatly! Please know that many were greatly blessed by the opportunity to count Ping as a friend!

May it help in some way to know that others share the sorrow in your heart,
with deepest sympathy.

William, Earle and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

WOW! I just read Ping's obit - what an amazing man! His charismatic presence always awed me but I had not realized his legacy of accomplishments. I am honored to be a friend of Earle and Nicole and wish them peaceful acceptance of this great man's passing.

What a wonderful man. I have fond memories of him when I worked at Montague-Betts. Your families are in my prayers. Roni Johnson Caron

To the entire Betts family: please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I've had the opportunity to meet Mr. Betts and it has been time well-spent with him. He made me laugh and I made him smile. He will forever be missed.
