Mr. Yerby F Oesterheld Jr.

He was born in Charlottesville, VA on March 21, 1942, to the late Yerby F., Sr. and Thelma H. Oesterheld. Preceding him in death was his wife of almost 50 years Bertie Smith Oesterheld; his daughter, Sharon Annette Oesterheld; his father and mother and brother-in-law H. Douglas Seay.

He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He is survived by his daughter, Sheryl O. Haney and her husband, W. Keith Haney; his grandson, Joshua W. Haney and his wife, Lara R. Haney; his grandson, Jacob A. Haney and his wife, Justine N. Haney; his sister, Louise O. Seay; his great grandsons, Connor F. Haney and William T. Haney. He is also survived by his special companion and friend, Barbara M. Leake and her son Bernie Kane and her grandson Austin Kane who became like a son and grandson to him. Other individuals that were special to him were Jimmy and Tammy Crawford and Clyde and Iris Hackney.

His best friend and companion, Missy (beagle) was a source of joy and happiness.

He worked in the construction industry for his entire career. He retired from Martin Horn, Inc. after 15 years of service working with heavy equipment. He always loved working with wood and made furniture, decorations and other items that will be cherished for many years to come. He loved working in his garden and making the fruits of his labor available to family and friends. He also loved working on things that were broke. He never found something that he could not repair. His knowledge of just about everything amazed his family and friends and cannot be replaced.

The family wishes to express gratitude for the loving and compassionate care he received from Dr. Andrew M. Ramano, Dr. Sylvia S. Hendrix, the staff at Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital and the staff at Hospice of the Piedmont.

The family will receive friends from 6 pm to 8 pm on June 28, 2019, at the Teague Funeral Home.
