Philip S. Nepper
January 17, 1941 - August 12, 2022

Mr. Philip S. Nepper

Following a brave battle against cancer, Philip Stewart Nepper of Washington, NC was promoted to heaven on August 12, 2022 at the age of 81 years young. Philip loved life and was a doting husband. He had a vibrant personality, an insatiable sweet tooth, and a fondness for playing the lottery every week.

He was born in Huntington, West Virginia, the second son of J. Charles and Mary Alice Nepper. He grew up in Lewisburg, West Virginia and attended Greenbrier Military School and Lewisburg High School.

After graduation from high school, Philip enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. After boot camp, he received orders to report to Boston to the US Coast Guard Cutter Eastwind, an icebreaker. Later he was reassigned to the United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, where he was stationed for the remainder of his enlistment duty, serving as a dental technician. While in the Coast Guard, he was chosen for a special assignment, to drive a car in the 1965 Presidential Inauguration Parade in which he transported Vice President Hubert Humphrey’s daughter Nancy and her spouse. After his discharge from the Coast Guard, Philip went on to study computer technology at Montgomery College.

As a child, like many young boys, Philip was obsessed with toy trains. After attending college, he turned his love for trains into a career. He worked in various administrative capacities with the B&O, C&O, Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, Amtrak, and Conrail. While he was very successful in his administrative career, he longed to fulfill his boyhood dream of running a train. He turned his dream into a reality when he decided to attend engineer school and received his railroad engineer certification from the Federal Railroad Administration. He ran diesel locomotive freight trains for Conrail and Norfolk Southern for several years. Eventually tiring of the many nights away from home that being an engineer required, he decided to leave the railroad and turned yet another of his passions into a new career.

Philip also loved boats. He went on to obtain his commercial captain’s license and ran a boat tour business and restaurant in Chesapeake, Virginia at The Great Dismal Swamp. Philip purchased his first boat in the 1960’s, a Chris Craft Cabin Cruiser, which he named The Deborah, after his daughter. After that, there were very few stretches in his life that he didn’t own a boat of some sort. Phil was happiest out on the water, so it was natural that he would become involved with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. He retired from the auxiliary with 20 years, 11 months, and 17 days of volunteer service, during which time he received an array of awards and commendations and occupied the elected positions of Flotilla Commander, Vice Flotilla Commander, and served as a Flotilla Staff Officer.

Two significant events happened for Philip during the 1990’s. First, he met the lady who would become the love of his life in Glenda on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. They married in March 1994 in a ceremony which included their adult children. The other significant event that happened during this period was Philip’s decision to commit his life to Jesus Christ at Poplar Branch Baptist Church in Grandy, North Carolina. Phil’s new found relationship with his Lord and Savior would radically change the way he approached life from that point forward.

Phil and Glenda decided to leave the busy Outer Banks for a quieter life and landed in Washington, North Carolina. Phil would frequently comment about how much he loved the little town, and once again, he was able to work doing the things he loved. He worked as a dockmaster at the Washington City Docks for several years, a perfect fit considering his love of boats and his charismatic, friendly personality. Later he became involved in railroad work again as the bridge tender for the Pamlico River Railroad Turn Bridge.

Music was another of Phil’s interests. He played piano by ear and had an eclectic taste in music. He was fond of everything from classical to beach music to classic rock. But Southern gospel was by far his favorite genre. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Chocowinity and loved to sing in the choir.

Philip will be lovingly remembered by his wife Glenda; daughter Debbie Florence, stepdaughters Sherrie (David) Thigpen and Sheila Walker Davis; stepson Gerald Perry; nephew, Jim Nepper; niece, Sharon Gooding (Scott), as well as numerous relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, James C. Nepper; son-in-law, Nick Florence; stepson, Timothy Edward Walker; and his beloved dogs, Willy and Blade.

A Celebration of Life was held on Wednesday, August 17, 2022 at the Chapel of Paul Funeral Home in Washington.

Frederick Allen Lugar
Covington Native Owned Lugar Lumber Company
After celebrating his birthday on July 22, surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren, Frederick Allen Lugar passed away July 27, 2022 at the age of 83. Fred was born July 22, 1939 to Ashby Godby Lugar and Virginia Louise Critzer Lugar in Covington. He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers, Charles Lee, Ashby Godby (AG) Jr. and William (Bill).

Fred attended Oceana High School in Oceana, W.Va., for three years before attending Greenbrier Military Academy in Lewisburg, W.Va., where he graduated. He then attended West Virginia University where he was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity and graduated in 1962 with a degree in business administration.

Upon graduating, Fred went to work with his father, A.G. Sr., and brother, A.G. Jr. at Lugar Lumber Company, Inc. based in Oceana, W.Va. Fred and A.G. expanded upon the success of their father in building one of the most vibrant lumber companies in the Southeast. Upon the successful sale of the business in 1993, Fred retired and moved to Virginia with his wife, Debbie.

Over 30 years in his native Oceana, W.Va., Fred established a legacy of giving back to the community by founding the Oceana Sports Boosters where he was the first president and responsible for significant improvements to the infrastructure of the facilities and well-being of the athletes. Additionally, Fred and Lugar Lumber Co. Inc. provided a scholarship for a graduating senior each year.

Fred was president of Ash Lou Farms and Lugar Lumber Inc. Farms in Gap Mills, W.Va., a 1,200-acre black Angus cattle and recreational farm where the entire family and many friends enjoyed decades of prosperity and fun.

Among his many talents and loves, Fred was an amazing golfer, hunter, swimmer, drummer, spoons player and aspiring Cowboy (thanks to his loyal horse, Dolly). Later in life, Fred and Debbie spent significant time at the The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, where Fred was an employee favorite and counted the many friends there as extended family.

Fred is survived by his wife, Debbie Lugar; three children, and five grandchildren. Children are Elizabeth Lugar (Lisa) of Cetona, Italy, his daughter; Matthew Lugar of Redding, Conn., son, along with his wife, Sandy; and Doug Bailey of Virginia Beach, son, along with his wife, Elizabeth. Grandchildren are Nicholas Benelli of New York, N.Y., Henry Lugar of Redding, Conn., Teddy Lugar of Redding, Conn., Katheryn Bailey of Virginia Beach, and Owain Bailey of Virginia Beach. Fred loved all of his family and a multitude of great friends.

Parts of Ed’s story follow -

Ed was born 4/22/1932 in Chillicothe, OH, to Clarence Augustus (1894-1960) & Bessie Novina (nee Walde) Gallaher (1899-1992). He had an older brother, Charles (Uncle Charlie to us kids, but always Charles to Ed) and an older sister, Dorothy June, who passed away from polio as a child. Ed grew up in Chillicothe, OH and Williamsport, OH (which is about 30 minutes up the road (and the Scioto River) from Chillicothe). Ed’s Dad, Clarence, a WWI veteran from the Field Artillery (horse drawn) ran a lumberyard and hardware operation – We’re told Ed had the ‘fanciest bicycle in town’ as they sold them at the hardware store. Ed fell out of a tree at 10 years old and broke both arms… he had to have another kid at school help him in the bathroom! And we’ve heard stories about how, during WWII when there were strict requirements to haul trucks full both directions, Grandpa Gallaher (Clarence) learned how to manage if there simply wasn’t a load for the return, deflating the tires a bit and using a canvas to make the truck look fully loaded! Clarence completed through 7th grade, per the 1940 census https://www.ancestry.com/imag… and Bessie 4th grade. But neither their success nor their bearing would have indicated this as a hindrance - ask those of us who knew Ed’s mom, Bessie (Bessie passed in 1992, at age 93)!

As a teen, Ed was greatly impressed by the events of WWII. At 13, he was the first in Chillicothe to win the Eisenhower award for wastepaper collection – he was a Tenderfoot Scout at Walnut Street Methodist Church in Chillicothe. He collected 1,489 pounds of waste paper in 2 weeks, gathering most of it in a pushcart and getting help from his Dad to truck it to a collection center. Ed’s big brother, Charles, was serving in the Pacific, where he was a corpsman on a hospital ship. When Charles returned, Clarence sent both Ed and Charles for a summer-long trip by car across the United States and up to the Northwest. Great wisdom to help both boys prepare for the next phase of their lives.

Ed attended Greenbrier Military School in Lewisburg, WV for the last few years of his high school education and as well as freshman college courses. Looking back, Ed has been so appreciative of how his Mom and Dad sacrificed financially to give him that opportunity for a better education and even send him later to Georgia Tech. Greenbrier Military School gave Ed great discipline as well as education. Although, to be fair, there are stories of dropping cherry bombs into toilets at GA Tech. Ed recalled working hard to avoid walking the beat at GMS (a punishment of walking the courtyard for infractions) and how the schoolmaster of the time believed that fresh air prevented disease and he required windows in every dorm room to be cracked open even in the dead of winter. Greenbrier College for Women (GWC) was across the street from Old Stone Presbyterian Church, where the cadets would march to worship Sunday nights. There is more to that story later! Ed recalled how they would march in their dress wool uniforms for church every Sunday evening and all file up into the balcony, sometimes frozen, sometimes steaming hot, sometimes soaking wet.

Ed went to GA Tech in 1951 and started classes there (in Atlanta, GA). One day, a good friend of his and former roommate from Greenbrier, Bill Trazzo, called Ed and said, of a young lady from Greenbrier College for Women, “Ed, you’ve got to meet this girl, you just have to meet this girl!” Bill and ‘this girl’ had become good friends while she was attending GWC. Ed came back to Greenbrier in 1953 to attend Bill’s graduation and there on the lawn at a ‘party house’ in Lewisburg, was Jackie Lou Newell. Ed came up to her, in all sincerity said, “I have been dying to meet you”, and began immediately to work on wooing her.

Ed began to write to Jackie and she wrote back, although she teased him often about his “line” when he first met her! They were married on June 14th, 1954 at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Oak Hill WV, on a blazing hot day. Ed remembers that for both young lovers, it seemed like a very long ceremony, as they kneeled, with sweat dripping off their noses and chins. They thought they’d hidden their car successfully at a friend’s garage but some of Ed’s groomsmen from Ga Tech broke in the garage, removing a few boards. When Ed got in the car with his Bride Jackie and started it, it wouldn’t go anywhere… the boys had jacked it up on blocks about an inch off of the ground. By the time they got to Bluefield, the Roquefort cheese the boys had smeared on the engine block was very fragrant. The first night of their honeymoon was in Kingsport, TN.

Ed and Jackie lived in Decatur GA while Ed finished his Bachelors in Industrial Engineering and Jackie taught 1st grade at Forrest Park Elementary. The tiny apartment was great for newlyweds as one had to squeeze by another when going from one end of the kitchen to the next. Ants enjoyed the top of their wedding cake, which they’d thought they would save! Things apparently went well as Edward W. Gallaher Jr. was born May the 4th, 1955.

Ed Sr. finished his degree and joined the Army. For a bit, Ed and Jackie (and little Ed) lived in a tiny apartment at 2-Notch Road in Columbia, SC, while Ed did Basic and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Jackson. “Oh, those sand hills!” Then he was stationed for his first duty station as a 1 year hardship tour in Iceland. As a hardship, family travel and base housing are not an option. Upon arrival, Ed was picked out by a sergeant there to help him in the training center, which just happened to include a movie theater with the only CinemaScope lens on the entire island of Iceland and did films for entertainment as well as training. Near Christmas day, 1955 – Ed sent tickets and Jackie and little Ed flew on a DC3 to be with him in Iceland. Back then, the flight was non-pressurized with no Oxygen so they flew the entire way no higher than 10,000 feet. Jackie often said, “If he wasn’t there when I got there, I was not going to get off of that plane.” Well, Ed was there! He had earned enough for the tickets by selling popcorn and candy at the base concession/movie theater. The training area also had a shower, which was handy since Ed and Jackie (and little Ed) shared a single room in a house off base and shared a half-bath with 4 other tenants! So the shower at the ‘moomie’ house, as little Ed called it, was a blessing.

After a year in Iceland, Ed & Jackie returned to the Atlanta area (Brookline Drive) where Ed finished his second degree – a BS in Industrial Management – From Georgia Tech. Jackie answered an ad from a window downtown looking for a receptionist/typist – and she nailed the job, working for Otto the Orkin Man https://www.youtube.com/watch… (yes, the real, original Otto). There was a sign also for a garage apartment for rent in a florist’s shop. There they lived, blessed by the kindness of the owners of the shop. When Ed graduated in 1959, he got a job with Mead Paper Company and Jackie and he moved to Chillicothe OH, bought a house in the Chillicothe Manor and had Kathy Lynn Gallaher (Loyd) and Thomas A. (Tag) Gallaher in 1959 and 1960, respectively. While Ed was working for Mead, Jackie was teaching school (head start classes). The family stayed in that area for about 6 years, including their last year or two at a home on Graves Road, including a pond, a stable and an ornery pony named Dusty (a gift from the family doctor). This time included great visits with Ed’s first cousin, James Gallaher (Uncle Jimmy) and his wife, Posie. They had three kids roughly the same age as Ed & Jackie’s, so summer visits spent on their farm were lovely. The kids all have memories of playing in the pond with a (usually submerged) canoe. Uncle Jimmy would sometimes shout “Buddy Check” and each kid had to be paired up hand in hand with their swimming buddy before he’d count to five! Also in the manor, Ed & Jackie’s across-the-street neighbors, Nancy and Bill Bogan, had kids with ages similar to theirs, so a great friendship was born there as well. It should be noted that it was here that Ed & Jackie got their first of several Dalmatian dogs, named Chief. Chief and little Ed were close companions but Chief was also a bit of a rogue, sometimes creating brand new breeds of dogs, including the Dollies down the street (seemed a better name than Collations – a Collie/Dalmatian mix).

In 1967, Ed landed a job with Bergstrom Paper Company and the family moved up to Neenah, Wisconsin, staying there from 1967-1972. Here Ed and Jackie became good friends with Jean and Cecil Hess. Ed and Cecil worked together at Bergstrom and Jackie and Jean worked together with adults with severe mental and developmental challenges. Ed and Jackie remained friends with Jean and Cecil throughout their lives. Ed supported Jackie enthusiastically during this time as she finished her BS in English at the University of WI, Oshkosh (while raising 2 grade school children and one high school child!). Here, also, Ed & Jackie became ardent Green Bay Packers fans (and Jackie was one of their most vocal cheerers through the rest of her life)! Those were the days of Bart Star, Fuzzy Thurston, Ray Nitschke and other heroes of old.

Throughout the early years, Ed and Jackie always did family vacations – carrying their family across the US in various Dodge Station Wagons and even a pop-up camper for one memorable trip. In addition, frequent visits to see family in Oak Hill WV, and many a summer enjoying long warm days on Summersville Lake, WV, which Jackie & the kids dearly loved. Ed wasn’t a big fan of swimming but he would spend summer after summer on the water and would tow his kids skiing behind the boat for hours. When he was tired of towing, he would start going around in circles to make big waves and finally shake his kids off the line, a challenge that they loved!

During those early years, Ed always would save his per diem while he travelled on business, eating on the cheap, so that he’d have enough money when he returned to hire a baby-sitter and take his bride out for a date. And he reminded us about the importance of taking care of one’s love. Ed travelled a great deal with work and remembered when the O’hare Airport was just a few Quonset huts! He was also one of the first ‘million milers’ with Delta and would tell future generations with a gleam in his eye, “Back when I was flying all the time you actually had to fly a million miles to get that award!”

In 1972, Bergstrom tasked Ed with taking over management of a paper plant in West Carrollton (Dayton) OH, and the family moved briefly to West Carrollton and then to Oakwood, on the south end of Dayton, OH. Ed said that Bergstrom’s purchase of the plant was a terrible mistake as the plant’s machines were too large and fast to run on a high percentage of waste paper (recycled paper, which was Bergstrom’s niche). Bergstrom needed pulp, which Kimberly Clark had but Bergstrom didn’t! There were other challenges there including a wild-cat strike during his first year there.

Ed and Jackie became friends with William and Helen LeMay, who they met through the Oakwood United Methodist Church, where both families worshiped. In time, William enticed Ed to join him at Baxter Travenol and Ed learned the business of manufacturing Vinyl & Latex examination gloves (as well as the bodies for Stretch Armstrong!). By 1978, Ed and Jackie had put together a plan to start their own company called Phoenix Glove Company, pooling their life savings, building a business plan and, a few days before Tag headed off to his first year of college, they headed to South Carolina to start their company!

Ed was friends also with Arthur Parsons, a local banker in Andrews, SC, who became a mentor in finance and made many important introductions for Ed. He and his wife, ‘Becca, lived diagonal from Ed and Jackie and were good friends through the years. In Andrews, Ed and Jackie built their dream house and called it Rivendell. They became part of the heart and soul of the community in Andrews and of their local church, Trinity United Methodist. I know they were blessed by too many good friends to mention and I believe they blessed the community as well.

Ed and Jackie lived just under 4 decades in Andrews, from 1978 to 2016. They were very involved with the community and the company Ed started thrived, employing some 600 people at one point! More than a few folks have thanked “Mr. Ed” and “Ms. Jackie” for the opportunities that Phoenix offered and the great work ethic and habits that most employees developed in that environment. Jackie stayed involved with the local library and she and Ed both partnered with “Andrews Good ‘Ol Days”, and were key in convincing Chubby Checker to come to Andrews for many a year for this town-wide fund raiser for the library association.

During this time they lived a grand, joyous life!

They travelled broadly, including Asia, Australia and Europe, settling eventually into an annual trip to France where they would split their time between visiting good friends, the Binners and Cotins, in Ammerschwihr in the Alsace and spending time at Hotel Du Casino, at the west end of Omaha Beach in Normandy. Ed and Jackie tended to create lasting friendships wherever they went and these friendships often echoed throughout the family. In Hamburg Germany, they befriended Lucas & Uli Garabet who remained friends through the years and hosted son Tag and his wife, Jeannie, for a visit and dinner when they were in the country in 2015. Similarly, their relationship with the Binners has translated now into 3 generations, with various family members visiting the US and France and staying in touch frequently. And in Omaha Beach, where Ed and Jackie stayed every year for some 30 years, they became close friends of the proprietors of Hotel Du Casino, Mr. & Mrs. Clemencons, including their now grown Daughter, Julia and her husband. They also brought 3 additional generations of their own family to France and especially to Normandy – visiting battle sites, telling stories, walking the vast beach, attending retreat at the Military Cemetery at Colville Sur Mer and ensuring these generations, too, shall never forget.

Speaking of lasting friendships, Ed & Jackie’s friendship with Cecil & Jean Hess lasted well beyond the Wisconsin days and Bergstrom Paper. When Jean and Cecil moved to the then-rural east side of Atlanta and started a Christmas Tree Farm, Hess Tree Farm, Ed and Jackie were right there to help and started yet another family tradition. Large parts of the Gallaher family would come to the Hess Tree farm for Thanksgiving and help kick off the Christmas Tree selling season there. Amid much garland making, tree shaking, hay riding, tree wrapping and loading, wreath making and decorating, was an abundance of laughing, eating, drinking, storytelling and enjoying each other’s company!

Ed and Jackie also made it a point to spend time with their young granddaughters, even though they didn’t live nearby. Just like his professional investment in people, his financial investment in his company, his heartfelt investment of time and giving at Trinity UMC, his and Jackie’s intentional investment of time with their granddaughters was also a gift and also brought dividends of love. We have many pictures of Ed and Jackie with their granddaughters, playing in the playhouse or joggling on the joggling board.

With even more love to share, they had 2 Rotary International exchange students join their homes over 2 years, but those relationships also lasted even to now – Hugo Miura, from Brazil and Verona Meier from Germany. Hugo was very involved in the music program at Trinity and has been back to the US twice to visit Ed & Jackie (and the rest of us). Verona remembers Ed’s patience as he was teaching her how to drive in the US – and Ed remembered having to teach Verona a few alternative “choice words” for use in a small town in South Carolina! Verona and Hugo are both part of an ongoing, fun conversation with the entire Gallaher family.

Ed’s last decade was focused almost entirely on taking care of Jackie as he walked her home along that long, arduous path of Alzheimer’s disease. This included a move from Andrews back to Dayton, OH, in 2016 to be closer to family. Ed loved his wife more than anything else on this earth and taught us all a great deal about standing by your loved one. In her last days, he said to her “Jackie, I’ve been thinking about it and I just can’t think of anything that we wanted to do together and didn’t do.” And he was there holding her hand and sleeping by her side each night as the end drew near. Ed continued on this earthly plane for 3 years and a 3 months after Jackie died. He said “Well, it’s what Jackie would expect of me”. But his life was just not the same without her. In September 2021, he enjoyed a “Last Trip” to Hotel Du Casino in Normandy where he and Jackie had visited so often, this time with Kathy and Tag.

Ed fell in early June and spent nearly 2 weeks in Hospice in Dayton OH. Those 2 weeks gave time for family to spend time with him and say good-bye. Even in dying, Ed continued to teach us, living his life as an example. He taught us to be bold and unwavering in what matters the most. He taught us to have absolute faith. He had no fear of death – not even at the end – but wholly trusted the promise of eternal life through his faith in Jesus Christ.

For those of us left behind, we will miss him. Yet his life is something to remember and celebrate and we know that he’s where he really wanted to be – In heaven, dancing with Jackie and praising Jesus and the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit.

Former Air Force Academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott remembered for character and humility

Lt. Gen. Winfield W. Scott Jr., who led the Air Force Academy as the 10th superintendent from 1983 to 1987, was laid to rest Tuesday at the academy's cemetery.

He died in Colorado Springs on March 19 at age 94.

In an event that was mostly off-limits to the media, his ceremony included a formation of cadets, a firing party, a bugler sounding taps, a folding of the U.S. flag and a missing-man formation of four F-35 aircraft from Hill Air Force Base in Utah, the academy said. An American flag was then presented to Scott's daughter, Kay, by the academy's superintendent, Lt. Gen. Richard Clark.

"I can't say enough about the character and humility of General Scott, a personal inspiration who directly impacted my life and career path. He was my superintendent, and when an injury put pilot training in doubt for me, he intervened to ensure that I could continue to follow my dream," Clark said in a statement. "That was the kind of person he was — a selfless leader who set an example I have tried to follow. He inspired so many and will be dearly missed."

Clark, the academy's first black superintendent, told The Gazette last year that Scott played a big role helping him get into pilot training despite having separated shoulders he suffered from playing football.

Scott flew F-51 Mustangs during the Korean War and piloted F-4s in more than 100 combat missions during the Vietnam War.

After learning Clark was selected for a pilot slot but medically denied, Scott invited him to his office, where he asked the soon-to-be second lieutenant to rotate each of his arms above his head.

"He said, 'Ya know Rich, I flew F-100s, I ejected out of an airplane and having a dislocated shoulder is the least of your worries. And if you can play football here and you can do what I just did (raise arms over head), that's about all you need to do to be able to reach up to a switch and pull your ejection handles. I'm gonna take this one up, and we're going to get you a pilot slot.'"

Born on Dec. 10, 1927, Scott graduated West Point in 1950, earned his pilot wings, served in the Korean and Vietnam wars and became the academy's 10th superintendent before retiring from active duty in 1987 after nearly four decades of military service.

"By all accounts, Gen. Scott is remembered as a highly engaged, hands-on leader. Militarily, he played a key role in expanding soaring opportunities, permitting more cadets to experience the thrill of flying," Lt. Col. (Ret.) Steven A. Simon said in an article on usafa.org. "Academically, he oversaw the implementation of a program to furnish all cadets with personal computers, providing connections with the faculty through the local area network. A football player at West Point, he avidly supported Falcon athletics, attending countless events and practices."

In a statement, his sons, who served in the Air Force, said this about their dad:

"There was not another person we know more devoted to his faith, his family and our nation through the United States Air Force than our father. Not a morning or evening went by that he was not praying with mom, even after she passed away, for our family. In the last few days since he went to heaven to be with mom, we have learned more from his friends, of all ages, all over the nation expressing their gratitude for his faith, his leadership and how he never wavered from his values. He had an influence and impact that will be with us for a very long time, if not forever. We will miss him but we also know, because of our faith, we will meet again."

Also known as Skip, Scott is survived by six children and 16 grandchildren; many of them served with the academy.

His wife, Sally, died in 2015 and is also buried at the academy's cemetery.

Dr. Robert John Stag (Bob), 89, of Fripp Island, SC, formerly of Severna Park, MD, passed away on February 9, 2022 in Beaufort, SC.

Bob was born on February 8, 1933 to Josephine and John Joseph Stag (Stogoski) in Jersey City, NJ. Raised in his beloved Baltimore, MD, he attended public schools then the Greenbrier Military School in Lewisburg, WV (1945-1950). At Greenbrier he played baseball and football and made special friendships (shout out to the marble champion, Charlie Mott).

At the age of 16, destiny found Bob in Baltimore during a break from military school where he met the love of his life, Mary. After graduation he went on to study pre-dentistry at the UMD, College Park, and graduated from the UMD School of Dentistry in 1957. Bob served in the US Army and was stationed at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL 1958-1960.

On June 23, 1956 he married Mary Margaret Wiechert at St. Matthews Catholic Church in Baltimore and they welcomed, loved, and raised five children. After his service in the Army, Bob and his growing family returned to Maryland and in 1960 and he opened his dental practice on the corner of Evergreen and Robinson Roads in Severna Park. The practice later moved to 815 Ritchie Highway until he retired in 1996. For 36 years he built a very successful practice and was well-respected by his staff and hundreds of patients.

When not at work, Bob enjoyed playing golf, bridge and was an avid fan of the Baltimore Colts, Orioles, Ravens and the Terrapins. He and Mary were active members of Chartwell Golf and Country Club and St. John the Evangelist Church. Bob and his sons enjoyed trips out west to raft and camp the Green, Middle Fork Salmon, Yampa and Colorado Rivers with his adventurous brother, Richard. In 1982 Bob and Mary fell in love with Fripp Island, SC, and bought their first vacation villa and after retirement Bob became a full time resident where he continued to play golf, travel, and welcome his family to vacation. Now he had the time for those marathon breakfasts and beautifully cut fresh fruit cups!

Bob and Mary enjoyed traveling the world together. From St. Petersburg, Russia to the southernmost town in the world Ushuaia, Argentina. They toured The Holy Land, Alaska, Egypt, and much of Europe and South America. Bob loved spending time with family and every summer the Fripp house was filled with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoying one of their favorite vacation spots. He loved the holidays and each November Bob and Mary returned to Severna Park to host dinners on Thanksgiving and New Year’s eve. Special memories were made when grandchildren and great grandchildren spent the night on Christmas eve and had their patience tested the next morning waiting for grandad to wake up. He frequently reminisced about his childhood and military school friends, he told only one joke (Ed and Joe) and he had a passion for the history of WWII leading multiple family tours of the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force.

Obituary of William Glasscock Boyle

William “Big Lou” Glasscock Boyle, 72, of Kingwood, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2022 at Mon Health Medical Center in Morgantown after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving and heartbroken family.

Born in Morgantown on October 2, 1949, Bill was the son of the late John P. (Jack) and Carolyn Glasscock Boyle, both longtime Morgantown residents. Bill was the great grandson of Monongalia County’s only governor, William E. Glasscock. Known as the family’s pillar and patriarch, He is survived by his devoted and loyal wife of 47 years, Karen McCabe Boyle, and their four children: John P. Boyle II (Kyla) of Morgantown, grandsons Jack and Anthony Boyle; Dr. Kate Boyle Wooton (Jody) of Lewisburg, WV, grandchildren Berkeley, Bo and Baylor; Caroline Boyle Lalli (Trapper) of Chapel Hill, NC, grandsons Decker and Ledger Lalli; and Sarah Boyle (Dan Romain) of Morgantown; Survivors also include two brothers Mark E. Boyle (Mary) and their children Brienne Caranasos (Thomas), Ryan Boyle, and Tyler Boyle (Megan); brother and best friend, Edward P. Boyle II (Kathy), of Morgantown, and their children Shelby Boyle, Cassidy Albino (Rob), Lilly, and Logan Krishock ( Katie Lillard) and one sister Ann (Vicky) Boyle Colon (Juan), Ocoee, FL, and children Carly Verucchi (Vincent), Christopher and Michael Colon; along with a host of loving cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Bill Boyle graduated from Greenbrier Military School in 1967. He was a lineman for the “Fighting Cadets” and the salutatorian of his class. While at Greenbrier Military, Bill was promoted to 1stSgt and placed in charge of training and discipline for Company D, which included his freethinking, slightly rebellious cousin Patrick. After graduation Bill attended WVU, where he was member of the WVU Rifle team during his freshman year. He obtained a degree in Mining Engineering in 1972, graduating first in his class.

Summers were spent at the family cottage in Kingwood and filled with Little League baseball, (Bill covered 1st base for Hartman Coal “like buckwheat covers Preston County”, a houseful of noisy cousins, raucous cards playing, fishing for rainbow trout, hunting for golf balls, and waging cut-throat games of kickball and wiffle ball. When Bill, a left-handed slugger was at bat, everyone in the outfield dropped back, well into the neighbor’s yard, hoping to catch a high fly and beat him home. For the rest of his life, Bill remained devoted to his beloved Preston County and the close-knit, God-fearing, “Free State of Preston” community he called home.

A man of few words but many talents, Bill had a beautiful singing voice and enjoyed playing the organ before dinner. He was first mentored in the coal business by his unforgettable grandfather Ed Boyle, who is depicted in home movies accompanying his 7-year-old grandson into a mine shaft. Thus began Bill’s lifelong fascination with the coal industry, which was later reinforced by his father Jack, who, after endless badgering from his first born, finally relented, allowing his 12-year old son to work underground – a decision quickly reversed by Bill’s grandmother Eleanor Boyle. (“Are you crazy, Jack?!”) Bill, was subsequently reassigned and paid 60 cents an hour to screen coal and pitch hay, which taught him the value of hard work – and a dollar.

A devoted husband and father, Bills’ first love was his family but the family business (where he was affectionately known as “The Chairman”) was a close second. First coal, then top quality construction, Bill, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Board of Preston and Mountaineer Contractors, always considered the company’s 350+ employees, to be part of his extended family and they were treated that way. Like the company he led for decades, Bill Boyle was “founded on integrity and built on performance.” In addition, Bill served on the Board of Directors at Albright National Bank for many years.

Bill also loved West Virginia and is described by more than one admirer as “the most generous person I know”. But most people never knew it because he gave quietly from his heart, never wanting any recognition. He was very spiritual, too, according to Priscilla Weidenschlager SJ, a Brooklyn-born Catholic nun who “came to West Virginia to work with the people”. And he was kind, “a little shy and very funny.” During her 15-year stay in Preston County, Sister Priscilla said you could ask Bill Boyle for anything, and he’d always say yes. “He was a great gift to the community.”

Lastly, we want to thank Ed Boyle, his best friend and longtime business partner for his unwavering support, love, and loyalty. The bond Bill & Ed shared was indescribable.

So he returned home to his father, And while he was still far off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran out to his son. Luke 15:20.

Friends and family will be received at St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Parish, 322 E. Main Street, Kingwood, WV, on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, from 3 – 8 p.m. The body will be moved to St. Mary Roman Catholic Church, 3334B University Avenue, Star City, WV on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, for friends and family to be received from 10 a.m. until the Mass of Christian Burial to begin at noon with Rev. Andy Switzer as celebrant.

Hastings Funeral Home Omega Crematory is entrusted with arrangements. A family graveside committal will follow at a later date.

The family would like to sincerely thank all of the management and medical staff at Mon Health Care for their extraordinary care and compassion. The family would also like to send a heartfelt thank you to longtime family friend, Dr. Fred Gabriele for his on-going support and wise counsel.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations be made in Bill’s memory to Mon Health Foundation, 1200 JD Anderson Drive, Morgantown, WV 26505.

EDDIE GENE "POPPIE" BEARD, 88, of Lewisburg, peacefully passed away on Monday, January 3, 2022 at CAMC surrounded by his loving family.

Born on February 6, 1933 in Renick, West Virginia, he was the son of the late Minnie Brown and was a proud member of the Clifton Presbyterian Church in Maxwelton, WV. Other than his mother, he was preceded in death by his son, Eddie Joe Beard, daughter-in-law, Cheri (Monday) Beard, three sisters, Mattie Brown Sinclair (Ira), Mildred Brown McLean (John R. "Jock"), and Mary "Ruth" Brown Jenkins (Lee). Special thanks and love for Maggie and Lewis Hollandsworth and the Hollandsworth family, who raised Gene from 18 months on, following his mother's tragic passing.

Survivors include: his wife of 69 years (12/25/1952), Mary Alice (Scott) Beard; daughter, Myola Suzanne Beard, and son, Scott Eugene Beard (Stacey); grandchildren: Justin Joe Beard, Alyson DeAnne Riddle (Dain), Kara Jean Holliday (Bryan), Tori JoLayne Nahouse (Christian), Norris Scott Beard, Madeline Anne Beard, Nena Loryn Adwell, and James "Berkley" Adwell; great-grandchildren, Tyler Joe Beard, Raelyn Paige Beard, Jackson Dain Beard Riddle, Abel Thomas Holliday, Reagan Kate Holliday, and Reed Karoline Holliday; special god-daughters: Lana Gail Guthrie (J.W.) and Whitney Whanger Smith; nieces and nephews: Jane Schmidlapp (Alan) and family, Sue Massey (Don) and family, Ann Huskins (Jack), Patty Owens (Archie) and family, Francis Blake (Charlie) and family, Sherry Mullins (Houston) and family, Terry Jeffries, Ira Gene "Butch" Jenkins and family, and Victoria Wilkinson and family, Mary Ann Reynolds (Fred) and family, Vickie Janucik (Lou) and family, James "Jimbo" Scott (Rhonda) and family, Ava Knott (John) and family, Teresa Toribio (Chris) and family, Ellen Marino (Bob) and family. Lastly, dear family friends: Libby Jenkins Kincaid and Colton Lewis.

Gene began his elementary education in Renick, followed by Greenbrier Military School (GMS) and Renick High School. After high school, Gene attended GMS for undergraduate studies before being drafted into the army to serve in the Korean War. After being honorably discharged from the army, he enrolled at Oklahoma City University, earning a double major in Geology and Physical Education. Gene began his career at the McLean Oil Company in the west Texas Oil Fields, where he met lifelong friends Allen Amos and the Pullen family. In Texas, he was highly active in the Menard Little League and Jaycees.

Moving into his life career, Gene served as figure head, innovator, and leader for 30+ years in the fenestration (window and door) industry. As the VP of Sales, he traveled extensively from his home in Greenbrier County to businesses on the west coast and all states in between, where he met some of his closest friends, Warren and Mary Lacey and family, Harry and Carolyn Riegelman and family, Jack and Eileen Steigerwald and family, and Leon and Margaret Slocomb and family.

After retirement, Gene turned over the family businesses to his son Scott, but remained a mentor and served on the Board of Directors for LaPied, 4-JAKS, MDC Inc., GMB Management and GMB equipment. Gene was also proud member of VFW and NRA and served as a 40+ year board member at Gateway Industries.

His crown jewel was creating and building his farm, Gene's Mountain Inc., where his family lovingly referred to him as The President and CEO. Gene dedicated 60 years to saving and purchasing small plots of land in northern Greenbrier County, which he cleaned and cleared with the help of family and friends, until he proudly reached approximately 400 acres. "Poppie" would eagerly educate anyone who would listen, on how to live and be self-sufficient. For decades, "The Mountain" has been a place of love and adventures for the Beard family and friends. Gene oversaw many hunting expeditions, sleepovers, family reunions, gatherings, holidays, and most recently a wedding.
He was a fiercely-loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, mentor, and friend, whose hugs and kisses could break your bones. Gene had a gregarious personality, never meeting a stranger, and never too shy to tell you his opinion. Gene and Mary Alice were soul mates who met at Renick Elementary. In 1952, the couple married and began traveling the world together, crisscrossing the globe for nearly 70 years together.

On one of their favorite yearly trips, the traveling partners would pass through Louisiana, stopping to eat at his favorite restaurant where he would feast on Crawfish. After the crawfish stop, the couple would cross into Texas, where they would sometimes stop by "The Deer Lease" with his hunting buddies, "Raesner's Rowdies". After passing through Texas, Gene and Mary Alice would head north to Mary Alice's favorite destination, South Dakota, where they would watch the progress of the Crazy Horse monument. Stubbornness being one of his best qualities, Gene always drove and listened (with minimal interruptions) to his loving wife. There are not enough words to describe Gene Beard and the amazing life he lived.

We look forward to sharing stories in the near future in a celebration of life which will be determined at a later date.
