Bill graduated from Kokomo High School, and then enlisted in the United States Army. Following his honorable service to his country, Bill spent some time working for the Tipton County Sherriff’s Office. He then began helping out with a friend’s insurance company, and soon established his own insurance company, which he ran for over 40 years.
Bill was a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Kokomo. He was also very active with the Republican party, and the Kokomo Noon Kiwanis Club, where he served a few years as president. Bill had a passion for sports, and toured the country to watch baseball and football games at different stadiums. He also sponsored a little league baseball team in Kokomo, and was a booster for the Kokomo Wildkats athletic department.
Bill is survived by his children, Tanya Hoke-Wallace (husband, Mike), Mark Neher, Kristen Tippens (husband, Chris), and Adam Neher (wife, Heidi); former wives, Mary Kay Martin, Becky, Kathleen Stone, and Dara Kinney; brother, Mike Neher; sister, Rita Dunn; and grandchildren, Tyler, Lauren, Matthew, Shelby, Medeski, Marvin, and Magnolia.
Per Bill’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. Sunset Memory Garden Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
Memorial contributions in Bill’s name may be made to the Kokomo Kiwanis Club.
