Charlie was one of the people who trained me to work at the Carl Sandburg barn. He entertained me and all who visited with his many interesting stories. In recent years I have sent cards to him because he gave so much to so many. He will be missed.

Charles Byrd was a member of the Richmond County Retired Educators and this association will surely miss him Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. I volunteered with Charlie at Sandburg Goat Barn for several years. His knowledge of Sandburg and the civil war always made for interesting conversation. And we both lived baby goats.

Mr. Byrd was a wonderful teacher who had great passion; he was also one of the younger members of the Richmond Academy faculty. I have very fond memories of my time with Mr. Byrd. Deepest sympathies.

While we grieve, heavens rejoices to welcome Charles to eternity with his Savior! Barbara and family may you feel God's love, grace, and mercy during this difficult time. May your hearts always warm with precious memories.

I met Charles when we were both pre-teenagers at Lake Park Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia. We became good friends and spent a lot of time together, doing a lot of crazy things. We had a couple of other friends in sort of a little clique. Charles was the”brainy” one of the group...always inquisitive...always trying to figure out how things worked. We haven’ seen each other much over the years since leaving Augusta but we did talk to each fairly frequently. I’m the last one left of that “clique.” I’ll miss talking to him here, but I’m looking forward to resuming that relationship in heaven!

So sorry for your loss. Remember all the times we had at Crawford Avenue and how he served the Lord. Praying for you and your family

Mr. Byrd was one of my favorite teachers at ARC. I got such a fantastic free education there and was well-prepared for college. Mr. Byrd was always light-hearted and kind. Prayers for comfort for all of his family and friends. Know you have a big hole in your hearts now.

I met Charlie while working at the Carl Sandburg barn. He was so helpful, soft spoken and loved the goat kids. He was a Southern gentleman white beard included. We worked together many years and then he transferred to the Sandburg house to guide the tours. He even was asked to travel out of state as a representative for the Sandburg National Historic Site. A wonderful choice.

Barbara, Ruth and I send our deepest sympathy and condolences. Family friends since our days at Lake Park Baptist.

Knew Charlie during our time in The National Hills Lions. Club in the 1975 to 1985 time. He was a great friend and a very involved member. Lost contact when he moved to Hendersonville. Prayers for his family.

Mr Byrd was my English teacher my senior year at ARC. He taught us well how to create a term paper. I also was a member of Crawford Ave. Baptist Church. He was such a great example for me and the teenagers who knew him. We loved his humor and had such respect for him. What a wonderful life of example for others.

Charlie was a good friend and mentor. He selected me to be his assistant principal, my first job in administration. I am so thankful for his faith in me. When I was a teacher at Glenn Hills High School in Augusta and Charlie was the assistant principal, the two of us were walking from the bus area after school and happened upon two young men arguing. As we walked by, Charlie said, “Knock it off, guys. It’s Friday and I don’t want to deal with this.” We walked on and the two young men did, too.” He knew which situations could be left alone.

Our condolences to you and your family. Charlie was a great friend and neighbor.
