Villard Wayne “Bugs” Byers, Jr., formerly of Clarion and Sligo, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2018, at Menno Haven in Chambersburg, PA, where he had been residing.

“Bugs” enjoyed woodworking and built the kitchen cabinets in the family home in Tin Town. He loved helping others with minor home repairs.
