Roland Family.Byron was a person you could never forget. You could tell he was a genious with anything mechanical but he possed an incredible depth of character. Deepest sympathies you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Judy Kaye,
Just wanted to let you know how sad we are to hear of Byrons passing on to be with our LORD.  Sorry I am so late finding out about this, but heard it from your cousin just yesterday.  Just want you to know you are in our prayers...
David

Dear Family,
Few men are as kind, family-oriented, industrious as Byron.  Thanks for sharing him with us.  May you feel Heaven's touch whenever/wherever/however it is needed the rest of your lives.

Judy, Eric & Lane: We will miss Byron so much. He was so full of life and such a good person. We always had such a good time hanging out with your family. It was always such a fun time and Byron was a big part of it. Thanks for all your kindness over the years. Know that our hearts go out to you and our thoughts are with you now and in the days ahead. xo

Byron was a very unique individual to say the least. A person who knew where and how to get absolutely anything punched, cast, heat treated, machined, plated, painted, drilled, tapped, molded, assembled, blasted, etched, annodized, extruded, annealed, etc. He was a valued sales rep for Dave and I during my four years at Truecast. He continued to assist in the development of a fantastic partnership between Universal Woods and ASR over the past 8 years.  I will miss his stories, his knowledge, and our lunches. I am a better me because i knew Byron. You will remain in my prayers.

God Bless

Byron was truley a great guy, a friend that liked to talk business and cars and always had a big smile. Over the 30 years I knew and worked on projects with Byron I learned a lot from him, he was very talented with his hands and mind and enjoyed sharing his knowledge. I will miss the lunches we had together over the years.
My sympathy goes out to his family.

Dear judy, so much time has passed, yet, i still remember the warm and loving friendship we all shared. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Love pattie lawfer

We hadn't talked to or seen Byron for years, but we knew him from Old Taylor Place.  He will truly be missed.

Judy,
I am so sorry for the loss of Byron, which I read in the C-J this morning.  For a couple of decades, he was one of my dearest friends.  I really looked forward to the many times we shared, many of those with you & Sandy.  I am truly sorry that we drifted apart in these last few years; always thought that we'd get back together and, now, it will have to be in the hereafter.  Byron was one of the few I have met of the highest integrity and yet so real-life.  We always enjoyed being with you and Byron so much.  May God bless you both, during this time of mourning, as we send our deepest sympathy to you, and Eric & Lane.
Always,
Bill & Sandy Bartlett

Judy, Eric, Lane and family,

Byron was the first person John met in OTP. Byron stopped to help John with the riding lawnmower when we first bought our lot.  I will miss our chats at the end of the driveway.  Especially enjoyed when he would walk with Lucy and let her off the leash to run to me for having a tummy rub.  Byron was a gentle lion who everyone loved.  We were so lucky to have him in our life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Byron was my confindont and friend for over 30 years. Byron always had time for networking and stories which we shared frequently. Will miss our lunches together the most and will always have a place in my heart for him. My deepest sympathy for you and your family.

I graduated with Byron in '69 and lived just around the corner on Tolls Lane. Had not seen him for years but be asured he was a dear friend. Our prayers go out to his family and friends of the family. Blessings!

Judy,Eric and Lane, Jerry and I want to tell you how very sorry we are for the  loss of Byron. He was a great friend and an awesome human being and will be forever missed by all his family and friends.Rest in Peace my friend

We just recently met Bryon this summer (we rent the house on Randolph Avenue), but even in just a short time, we could see his character, kindness, and deep love for his family. We are sending out our deepest sympathies and our prayers for you as we know he will be greatly missed.
With love,
Chip and Lauren Baggett

I graduated with Byron from Fairdale High School in 1969. We were always in the same home room through high school. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch, but I'm deeply saddened by this loss. My sympathies are with you, Judy and Eric.

I only worked with Byron for a few years but found him to be a great guy and considered him both a friend as well as a business associate.  He will be greatly  missed by the folks at Dameron as well as his many customers. Byron left us too soon but I'm sure he's riding a motorcycle in heaven!

Byron was a wonderful human being. He was smart and talented. He was generous. He was fun and funny. There are many of us  that knew Byron as a best friend. His memory will live on and on. My thoughts and prayers are with Judy and Eric.

Byron was a truely amazing man.  It was impossible not to learn something new each time we met. I'll miss the interaction and regret not making more of each visit.  Please accept my sympathy.

As a close friend to our father, Manzie, Byron was as much a part of our childhood in OTP as bicycles and fireflies.  
Our deepest sympathies go out to Judy and the family.  
You are in our thoughts & prayers. 
Manzie, Jr., Chuck, Matthew & Grayson Lawfer

Byron was a wonderful person who was loved here at Shelby Industries.  He will be missed.  Our hearts go out to your family and your loss.

Byron was a wonderful person who was loved by many at Shelby Industries.  We will miss him very much and our heart goes out to his family for their loss.

I loved my Uncle Glenn so much.  When I was a child he was the best Uncle a kid could have, he always made my day and I always couldn't wait to hang out with my uncle.  I will always love and miss you, Uncle Glenn.  I love you Aunt Judy, and Cousin Eric and Lane.  Love Martha Young

Judy, Things will not be the same without Byron. He was a true good friend, a person that friends could always count on. I learned so much from Byron. Each time I crawl this old body on the Harley I think of him and always will.
I cannot imagine your sorrow. God Bless You, Eric,Lane, and Kathy.
Reid and Lori Jones

Judie, Eric, Lane and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.  Byron was the best neighbor and friend a person could have.  I will miss him saying in a gruff voice "Matt the Rat" with a big grin on his face.  I learned a lot from Byron and always enjoyed his elaborate explanations of things, his ability to fix almost anything, and his giving and helpful nature.  We will all miss him.

You were always there to help. You always had the answers. I'll miss our conversations about whiskey barges sunk in the Salt River and red sunglasses for chickens.  A history lesson with every call.  Goodbye, good friend.

Judy,
My heart goes out to you and the family at this time and in the days ahead.
Byron was a very special friend and he will be missed. We will keep you in our prayers at Wylie Precision Grinding, Inc.
