Mr. William Albert ""Dub"" Byerly, 84, passed away on Friday January 30, 2009 at Forsyth Medical Center surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Davidson County on November 24, 1924 to William Preston Byerly and Pearl Elizabeth Zimmerman Byerly. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife Lillian Inez ""Tillie"" Dorsett Byerly, brother Clarence J. Byerly and sisters Mary Freedle and Ethel Freedle. Surviving are his children Gerald and Barbara Byerly of Sandy Ridge, Mickey and Judy Byerly of Oak Island, Gwen and Allen Snyder and Keith and Glenda Byerly of Winston-Salem, six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. His sisters of Lexington are Grace Hege, Marie Hanes, Pauline (Odell) Everhart, and Ruby Freedle. He retired with 30 years of service from the city of Winston-Salem, Street Division.
