brothers and sisters in Christ.  He was a member of the Wakefield Ruritan Club 
and has supported his community over the years in many capacities.

encouraged.  He is survived by his wife of 59 years, June Cooke Castle of 
Waverly, VA; his four children and their spouses Bonita Jo Castle Meyers and
