Today, our family came together in Page County, Va. at the church where my sister and I (and our parents, and our grandparents, and cousins and aunts and uncles) grew up, for the funeral of my father‘s oldest brother, Bill Modisett. He was a quiet man who loved reading about history and current events. He graduated with a chemistry degree from Bridgewater College in the 1950s and spent most of his life living on the family farm and working at Luray Caverns. His presence was always a quiet and calm one, his smile and laugh a lot like Dad’s.
