Please donate to Roanoke Chowan Christian Women’s Job Corps in loving memory of J. Henry Byrd.

Mr. Byrd was born on January 16, 1944, to John Henry Byrd, Sr. and Beulah Bracy Byrd in Bertie County, North Carolina.  He graduated from Ahoskie High School and worked at North State, and Eastern Office in younger years.  He worked for many years as a salesman at Pierce Printing and part-time at Ace Hardware in Ahoskie.  He was later the owner and broker for Action Realty Company until his retirement.  Henry was a member of First Baptist Church Ahoskie and the Ahoskie Rotary Club.  He loved the Lord and his family, and he could be found fishing on his boat after work until he was unable to do so. He loved yard work and growing roses.  He volunteered at the Ahoskie Food Pantry and Meals on Wheels, and helped his wife Patti volunteering with whatever she needed at Roanoke Chowan Christian Women’s Job Corps.

Thanks for your donation!
