Charles Luther, Fry Jr., Charles Luther Fry Jr., 77, of Scottsville, died Tuesday, November 3, 2009, at his home following a long illness., He was born in New York City at the Sloan Hospital on March 8, 1932., His childhood was spent in Rochester, New York, where from September through May he attended the Harley Day School, graduating in 1950. He summered with sailboat, Skillit on Waquoit Bay, Cape Cod, Massachusetts., Charlie graduated from Haverford College in 1954 with a specialization in philosophy, and was then promptly drafted into Uncle Sam's Army. He retired as a Spec. 4 in 1956; the two years of his European tour of duty were spent guiding railroad cars around Austria and Italy., Rather than pursuing a career in philosophy or railroading, he decided to enter the rapidly developing field of psychology. His graduate training in developmental psychology led to a PhD from the University of Rochester in 1962, under the direction of Dr. John Flavell. Charlie was an Acting Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester from 1961 until 1962., He accepted a position at the University of Virginia, where he taught for the next 36 years. The Department of Psychology was small when he joined it, consisting of seven hard science faculty members, who were teaching and researching in the areas of human and animal learning and behavior, sensory and perceptual abilities and statistics. Charlie continued teaching social psychology, developing classes in child development and adolescent psychology, and later, courses in comparative primate psychology and primatology. He retired as an Associate Professor in 1997. For a period of time, he remained an active professor, teaching fourth-year seminars in primate psychology and the psychology of friendship., During the early years of his career at the University of Virginia, the psychologists in the Commonwealth of Virginia felt it important to develop a Virginia Psychology Association in order to address such issues as licensures, i.e., who could "practice as a psychologist" in Virginia. In 1969-1970, Charles became president of the newly formed Virginia Psychology Association., After retirement from the Psychology Department at the University of Virginia in 1997, Charlie found additional projects of interest. He continued to focus on primate development and its similarity to that of child development, particularly through adolescence., Charlie also became a member of the Board of Directors at both Pine Knot and the Scottsville Museum. Pine Knot was a sparse and local retreat of President Theodore Roosevelt during his presidency. Both Pine Knot and the Scottsville Museum were in need of developing into a computerized world, and both were loaded with interesting historical topics for bright graduate and undergraduate students. With the help of Dr. Phyllis Leffler and the University of Virginia Department of History, he was able to bring together University of Virginia's summer internship program with interests developing in the Scottsville Museum., Charlie was preceded in death by his son, Charles Luther Fry III., Survivors include his wife, Patricia Bergen Fry; a son, Gordon Fry, his wife, Mary; his mother, Terry Fry; a stepson, Charles Armstrong and his wife, Kimberly; a stepdaughter, Kathleen Armstrong McCleskey and her husband, Pierce; grandsons, Gordon L. Fry and his wife, Anne, and Edward Fry; a sister, Clementine Fry Kennedy and her husband, Bruce., A funeral service will be conducted 11 a.m. Tuesday, November 10, 2009, at Christ Episcopal Church in Glendower by the Reverend R.

Dr. Karen E. Holt, 54, of Knoxville, passed away on Tuesday, October 27, 2009. She was an assistant vice president of the Institute for Public Service at the University of Tennessee., A native of Paducah, Kentucky, Dr. Holt spent the majority of her career fulfilling her passion for public service, civil rights, and civic engagement. The scope and diversity of Dr. Holt's work was extraordinary. Before coming to the Institute for Public Service in 2008, Dr. Holt had previously served as an associate general counsel at University of Tennessee from 1985 until 1995, led the University of Virginia's Office of Equal Opportunity Programs from 1997 until 2003, was an attorney with the Civil and Civil Rights Divisions of the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. from 1983 until 1985, served as executive director of Project Pericles in New York from 2003 until 2005, and was director of the Fanning Institute at the University of Georgia from 2006 until 2008. Dr. Holt was also an impassioned teacher in courses on American Government and Administrative Law at University of Tennessee, and in the Law of Higher Education at University of Virginia., While serving as associate general counsel at University of Tennessee, Dr. Holt completed a doctorate in Political Science, concentrating in Public Law, Public Administration, and Methodology. Her dissertation research culminated in a book, When Officials Clash- Implementation of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act, published by Praeger Press in 1998. She authored papers published in the Journal of Family Law and the Tennessee Law Review, among others., Dr. Holt's interest in improving equal opportunity policy led her to accept the position as Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs at University of Virginia in 1997. In collaboration with her staff and university faculty, Dr. Holt revised EEO policies, procedures and outreach to enhance equality and access throughout the university. Describing her time at University of Virginia, one of her colleagues wrote: "During our years working together, her wisdom and kindness meant the most to me; she taught me about coping, about strength and about hope. We are still building on the foundation she created at the EOP. Her impact on the University was extraordinary." Karen was honored at University of Virginia's EOP Champion Awards ceremony on November 2, 2009., After building the EOP programs at University of Virginia, Dr. Holt became interested in broader educational policy and accepted an offer to become the first Executive Director of Project Pericles in New York in 2003. About her service to Project Pericles, Eugene M. Lang wrote: "Karen was the inaugural Executive Director of Project Pericles, and we could not have asked for anyone better. She helped make the mission of Project Pericles - to encourage and facilitate commitments by colleges and universities to include social responsibility and participatory citizenship as essential elements of their educational programs - come alive, and her energy, wisdom, and interpersonal skills fostered the development of significant contacts and warm relationships with colleges and universities and with leaders in philanthropy, education, and the social service sector.", Dr. Holt began her career with a bachelor's degree in zoology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, working as a park ranger and later a park naturalist at Sam A. Baker State Park in Missouri, where she earned the nickname "Mother Nature" from her co-workers. She was the first female naturalist in the state of Illinois. She often surprised her later colleagues in law and public policy by her knowledge of animal and plant natural history and biology., Dr. Holt's great love of nature remained a constant throughout her life; special pleasures were walking in the woods, hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains, and being near water. She cared deeply for animals and maintained an ever-changing menagerie of cats, dogs, ferrets and fish. During her time living and working in New York, a pigeon eventually nicknamed "Rusty" came to visit Karen every day, sitting on the ledge outside her office in downtown Manhattan, and becoming a regular character in the office. With her beloved yellow Labrador, Honey Bee, she recently had begun to kayak the rivers near her home in Knoxville., She was an incomparable friend, colleague, and mentor, caring for others in every community in which she lived., Dr. Holt received a B.S. in 1976 from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign), a J.D. (cum laude) in 1983 from the Brandeis School of Law, University of Louisville, and Ph.D. in Political Science in 1995 from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. She was a member of the Tennessee Bar Association as well as the District of Columbia, Georgia, and Virginia Bar Associations. Dr. Holt also held memberships in the Athens (Georgia) Rotary Club, Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, Georgia Economic Developers Association, the Southern Consortium of University Public Service Organizations and the Jeannette Rankin Foundation. Of these distinctions, she was very proud of her inductions as a Duchess of Paducah and Kentucky Colonel., She was preceded in death by her parents and a step-brother., Dr. Holt is survived by her sister, Sharon Barton and her husband, Jim, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and their children, Clark Jackson and his wife, Nicole Bernardi-Reis; Matthew Jackson and his wife, Karen, and sons, Tommy and Frankie; Nora and Ryland Barton; and special friends, Madelyn Wessel and her husband, Tony McCall, of Charlottesville, Virginia., A memorial service will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee, from 2 until 4 p.m. Sunday, November 22, 2009, at Knoxville Botanical Garden, 2743 Wimpole Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37914-5958. |

Peyton O. Wiley, Sr. Peyton O. Wiley, Sr. 80, passed away on Friday, November 6, 2009 at Virginia Baptist Hospital following a year long decline in health. He was predeceased by the love of his life, his wife, Clara S. Wiley and his parents, Cloyde and Margaret Wiley. He is survived by his two children a daughter, Sandra (Sandy) W. Kinzer and her husband, John and a son, Peyton (Pat) Wiley, Jr. and his wife, Janice, all of Lynchburg. He is also survived by two grandchildren Steven Kinzer and his wife, Misty of Rustburg and Kelly K. Lefler and her husband, Matt of Fredericksburg. The most recent delights of his life were his great-grandchildren, MaKayla Kinzer and Katelyn Kinzer. He was also happily awaiting the arrival of another great-grandchild in the spring with Kelly and Matt. Peyton deeply loved and took pride in all of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and they all brought him immense happiness. Also surviving Peyton are his buddies for life, his two brothers, Cloyde Wiley, Jr. and his wife, Ethel of Urbanna, John (Ivan) Wiley and his wife, Harriet of Lynchburg and his extended family and friends. He is also survived by a special friend, Corene Carey. Peyton and Clara enjoyed many trips to the beach alone and with their family. They also enjoyed trips to various places around the world. They warmly embraced their large extended family and they enjoyed any event that allowed them to gather together, laugh, and reminisce. Peyton was a long-time member of Chestnut Hill United Methodist Church. Peyton served in the army and trained in Fort Carson, Colorado for mountain combat. He worked for many years as a building inspector with the City of Lynchburg. After his retirement, Peyton enjoyed years of good health which he spent participating in his favorite hobbies of hunting at his cabin and fishing along the coast of North Carolina. Some of his favorite memories included hunting at the cabin with his father, son, brothers, cousins and nephews. He loved beach trips with his family and relaxing on the balcony looking out over the sand dunes. He also enjoyed eating out with family and friends. He was kind, caring and generous to others. For the last year of his life, Peyton experienced a steady decline in health. The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Shawn Hayes and the physicians at Lynchburg General Hospital and Virginia Baptist Hospital for their care and support. The family would especially like to thank Dr. David Leffke and the nurses and staff at Seven Hill Urology for their support and pro-active treatment as he battled cancer over 35 years. He attributed his survival to their efforts and the grace of God. The family deeply appreciates the extraordinary care and compassion given to Peyton by the emergency room staff at Lynchburg General, the Lynchburg City Fire Dept. EMTs, the nurses who cared for him on the fourth floor of LGH, the acute rehab center at VBH and the gentle loving hospice nurses of Hospice of the Hills, especially our Loretta. During the last two weeks of his life, Peyton and his family were ministered to by angels of mercy disguised as the nursing staff of the skilled care/palliative care unit at Virginia Baptist Hospital. We did not call that they did not quickly respond and they went out of their way to tenderly minister to us all. We also wish to thank the occupational, physical and speech therapists at both VBH and LGH hospitals, and at Gentiva Home Health Care for their attention to his rehab needs. Thank you also to the home health providers of Home Instead, especially Justin Ward, who went the extra mile to provide for Peyton's comfort and care during the last 6 weeks of his life. We have been so blessed to have had such attentive and competent health care providers for our loved one. We also want to thank our family and friends for your support and love over the past year. You are all blessings to us. A celebration of Peyton's life will take place on Monday, November 9, 2009 at 11:00 am at Tharp Funeral Home on Breezewood Drive, Lynchburg with Rev. Becky Cloud officiating. Internment will occur following the service at Fort Hill Cemetery. The family will greet friends from 7:00-8:30 pm today, November 8, 2009 at Tharp Funeral Home, Lynchburg. At other times, the family will be at his residence. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Chestnut Hill United Methodist Church, 4660 Fort Avenue, Lynchburg, VA 24502, , 2316 Atherholt Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501 or a charity of your choice. We will deeply miss Peyton for we loved him, sought his wise advice and counsel, and enjoyed his company and stories. While our lives will have an empty space because of his passing we trust that he is joyfully in the presence of God walking with his precious Clara and awaiting the reunion with his family and friends in God's own time.

DUTY, William Lester "Les", ended his final courageous battle on November 6, 2009. A retired attorney and counselor at law and a retired Lt. Colonel, AUS, Les was born November 19, 1926 in Rhodell, West Virginia, the son of Starling Ellis and Dora Smith Duty. The husband of Marianne R.B. Duty, his wife of nearly 51 years (November 28), he was predeceased by three brothers, Marvin L. Duty, Clifford Bernard Duty and Vinton Duty; and three sisters, Ruth Duty, Bertha Duty and Myrtle Adeline Duty Ring. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Mary-Leslie Duty-Emmons and son-in-law, Michael Lance Emmons; three brothers, James Russell Duty, Cecil Alvin Duty and Billy Gene Duty; and two sisters, Ruby June Duty Mitchell and Kate Lorraine Duty Cole; as well as many nieces and nephews. Les was a true Renaissance man. A student of the arts, science, religious philosophy, history, nature and politics, he was also a collector of coins and weapons. An avid sportsman, bird hunter and fisherman and world traveler, he grew up in the hinterlands of southwest Virginia. He enlisted in the Army at the age of nineteen, intending to make it his career. He served in Germany at the end of World War II and re-enlisted after returning to the states. He was trained as a paratrooper at Ft. Bragg, N.C., and as a tank commander at Ft. Knox, Ky. In 1952, while on duty in Korea, he was shot in the heart by enemy fire and left for dead, however, he managed to alert a medic and was taken by helicopter to a M.A.S.H. unit. After he recovered, Les was informed that he was no longer fit for combat duty, whereupon he remained in the United States Army Reserve until November 1986. With the knowledge that a career in the Army was denied him, he entered the University of Richmond, where after taking undergraduate classes he was admitted to the T.C. Williams School of Law (where he met his future wife). Deciding to broaden his spectrum of studies, he went to Virginia Commonwealth University (then the Richmond Professional Institute of the College of William and Mary). All the while he was reading law with attorneys Flavius Walker and Raymond Dupuy, qualifying to take the Virginia State Bar examination in 1961, which he passed on his first sitting. He opened his office as a sole practitioner in 1962; 26 years later he was joined by his daughter and the firm of Duty and Duty (now Duty, Duty & Landry) was formed. Among other organizations, Les was a member of the Richmond Area Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America; the 82nd Airborne Metro Association; the National Military Reserve Officers Association of the United States; the Military Order of the Purple Heart; the Virginia Commonwealth University Alumni Association; the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the United States and the Ruffed Grouse Society. He was also a member in good standing (retired) of the Virginia State Bar and the Chesterfield County Bar Association. Les will be remembered by all who knew him for his compassionate caring, his loyalty, his honesty and integrity, his gentleness and inquisitiveness, as well as his wit and wry humor, his professionalism and his total dedication to the people and causes in which he believed. He will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. The family will receive friends 1 to 3 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., with funeral service to be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 9, at the Morrissett Funeral Home, 6500 Iron Bridge Rd. (Rte. 10). Les will be buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on January 20, 2010 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to your favorite charity. |
