He was member of America's oldest ultra marathon (JFK) 1000-mile club and completed these marathons in four separate decades.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Miller Farm for their ongoing care and compassion not only to Byron but to his family.
A celebration of his life will be held on the roof top of their house at a later date - ladders optional.
