We lived in Banner Elk and moved away last summer. We came back today, and my first visit was going to see Byrle. He wasn't there. I looked online and found out he is gone. He was always so sweet to us, always remembered to ask about different things going on in my life. Prayers for his family.
I was so sad to read Mr. Townsend's obituary in the Avery Journal. I loved my visits with him at his produce stand, we always had long conversations. I miss him and always will. Feel very privileged to have know him if only for a few years. My sympathy to all of the family, how lucky you were to have him as your own.
With sympathy,

I am so sorry for you loss. love and prayers to the family.
Banner Elk has lost a wonderful human being in Beryl Townsend. We were deeply saddened by news of his passing. Full of wisdom and wit and a wry sense of humor we relished visits with him much more than the produce he provided us. We send our prayers and deepest sympathy to his family.
