William Pease

Willie, as most knew him, was born June 30th, 1938 in Hartford, Connecticut, to Blynn Pease, and Emma Reny. He joined the Air Force right out of trade school(high school). During his 24 years in the Air Force, he was stationed in Florida, Colorado, Japan, New Hampshire, California, Massachusetts, and finally Arizona where he settled the family. In the Air Force he had many assignments, from automotive all the way to electrical engineer, and missile technician. He retired as a Senior Master Sergeant.

After the military, he worked at IBM, Owned and operated a Towing Company, and spent his last years working in the Fire Equipment supply industry. He was a man of many talents, when people reference the ability to fix anything with a coat hanger and a pair of pliers, that was Willie. He was happiest at home quietly reading a book at the dining room table, where all of the family likely remembers him the most, but he loved working on cars and almost anything in the garage. Although mostly quietly supporting Barbara(Ginger)'s loving adventures with kids, and grandkids, he was always there for loving support, and good fatherly guidance.

He met his sweetheart and loving wife Barbara Jane in West Palm Beach, Florida. He followed her family to Las Vegas, and married her there, at the Chapel Of The Flowers. His son Travis was born while stationed in New Hampshire, and his daughter Tanya was born while stationed in California. The family settled in Tucson, Arizona.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara (Ginger), and his grandson Brandon. He is survived by his two children, Travis and Tanya; three grandchildren, Tiffany, Dillon, and Tiara; and 4 great grandchildren, Jordyn, Joshua, Ella, and Elijah.
