"Billy" Carper, 87, of New Castle, Va., passed away Thursday, May 7, 2009, as the sun broke through the morning rain clouds to light his path to heaven. Billy was a Christian gentleman who served the Lord and his church, New Castle Christian Church, with over 74 years of membership. Billy was a Deacon in the church and rang the bell for over 50 years. At his hands the bell could be heard for miles and miles, even Boston, Mass., (by phone). Billy proudly served his country in the United States Army both in World War II and in the Korean War. Upon leaving the military he worked at Radford Arsenal for 32 years. After retiring Billy proceeded to work at the Paitsel Funeral Home.
