When Mr. Muncy became a Town Council member, the Dendron water system didn't extend throughout the town. "He got it extended so that every home could have water and made sure the system was adequate to take on new construction in town," his son said. Mr. Muncy took care of the system and would go there any time, day or night, if there was a problem. He would change out the water meters and install meters. He did all the maintenance.

Elected to Town Council not long after he moved to Dendron in the early 1970s, Mr. Muncy had been mayor for 28 years when he died of brain cancer Thursday in a Richmond hospital. Besides continually trying to upgrade the water system, Mr. Muncy was instrumental in securing grant money for a housing rehabilitation program in Dendron to help low- to middle-income people upgrade their homes to code. In 2006 and 2007, he also helped design and build the Dendron Depot Museum, a reproduction of a typical small-town railroad depot that is the home of the Dendron Historical Society, said Nancy Faison Threewitts-Hughes, a society member. He was an active member of the society. A Draper, N.C., native, Mr. Muncy lived in Newcastle, Del., and worked for DuPont Co. for a time. He opened Ben's Sandwich Shop in Dendron in 1972. In his spare time, he fished and played the steel guitar and dobro and sang with a band. During World War II, he served as an Army supply sergeant in the European theater.
