Byron served his Country during World War II in the Air Force as a pilot. He was shot down and captured by the Japanese and was a prisoner of war for two and a half years. He was honorably discharged as a Major. He is survived by his loving wife of 71 years, Julie; children: Susan Christianson, Nadine Heichel, Lynda (Michael) Peck and Byron Jr. (Rita) Heichel; 5 grandchildren: Chad, Chip, Sarah, Brett and Rachel. A military graveside service will be held Saturday, April 6, 2013, 11:00 am at the Arlington Cemetery. A gathering will follow at the family home in Stanwood.
