[pianotech] OT: Obituary my Dad Wilbur Traylor



Wilbur Elmore Traylor
 
Wilbur Traylor died quietly as he slept on Saturday, July 17, five days 
short of his 83rd birthday.  He was a native of Ashland, Virginia, son of 
Joseph Lee Traylor and Annie Heath Traylor.  He was preceded in death by 
his parents and five brothers.
 
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Catherine Moore Traylor, and their 
five children and their spouses: Sarah Gullick, husband Roy of Greenville, 
SC; Loni Garcia, husband Michael of Kingsport, TN; Glenn Traylor, wife 
Janet of Fuquay-Varina, NC; Garret Traylor, wife Cheryl of Trinity, NC; 
and Michael Traylor, wife Rhonda of Charlotte, NC.  His grandchildren 
Bryan Gullick, wife Heather of Birmingham, AL; Jessica Gullick of 
Greenville, SC; Paul Traylor of San Francisco, CA; Rachael Traylor of 
Greensboro, NC; Emily Garcia of Kingsport, TN; Rebecca Garcia of 
Kingsport, TN; Susannah Burley Traylor of Trinity, NC; Preston Nash of 
Madison, GA; Nathaniel Nash of Charlotte, NC; and Megan Nash of Charlotte, 
NC. His great-granddaughter Elizabeth Gullick of Birmingham, AL; and two 
great-grandsons Cougar Nash of Charlotte, NC, and Landon Nash of Madison, 
GA.  Several nieces and nephews of Woodstock, AL; Maryland; and Virginia.
 
Wilbur served in the U.S. Army, retiring in 1970 after almost 25 years of 
service. He settled in Fayetteville, NC.  In 1983 he retired as a Senior 
Tool Engineer, having served for 11 years with Black & Decker. He was a 
talented craftsman who personally designed, constructed, and built his own 
house in Fayetteville.
 
He was a beloved member of First Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville, the 
North Carolina Bluebird Society, and Sandhills Daylily Society. He was an 
active supporter of several benevolent groups, including Haiti Outreach 
Missions.  Known as an affable and outgoing man, he will be missed by all 
who knew him, especially for his sharing knowledge of mechanics, 
carpentry, and world history.
 
The family would like to invite friends to visitation on Tuesday evening, 
7-9 p.m., at Jernigan Warren Funeral Home, 545 Ramsey St., Fayetteville, 
NC, and to internment on Wednesday morning, 10 a.m., in the Sandhills 
State Veterans Cemetery, 310 Murchison Road, Spring Lake, NC, followed by 
a Celebration of Life at 11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 102 Ann 
Street, Fayetteville, NC.
 
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to The Third Century 
Fund of First Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, NC; to Ashland 
Christian Church or Slash Christian Church of Ashland, VA; to Hermitage 
Baptist Church of Church View, VA; or to a charity of your choice.

Thank you for your prayers.

Kindest Regards,
Garret
