William is survived by his loving husband, Danny Fox; four nephews, including Michael Anthony Walker (Rhonda); three nieces; sixteen great-nieces and great-nephews; twelve great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews; and his brother-in-law, Kevin Graham (Donna).
William was the son of the late Mary Frances Snyder and Edgar Louis Schwartz. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and enjoyed a long and successful career with AT&T, from which he retired. Never one to remain idle, William continued his dedication to hard work by beginning a second career at Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville, where he worked for approximately 17 years.
In addition to his parents, William was preceded in death by his sister, Mary Therese; his brother, Peter Anthony; his mother-in-law, Patricia Salinas (Charles); and his sisters-in-law, Denise R. Semones (David) and Donnetta K. Tindle.
William was an exceptionally intelligent man with a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor. His humor, personality, and ability to leave a lasting impression made him unforgettable to those fortunate enough to know him.
William enjoyed traveling, exploring new places, and, above all, spending time with the love of his life, Danny Fox. Together for 44 years and married for 13, William and Danny shared a lifetime of love, laughter, adventures, and unwavering devotion.
The family wishes to extend a special and heartfelt thank-you to William’s dedicated caregivers, Dusty Semones and Corrina Perry, for the compassionate care, kindness, devotion, and love they provided during his illness.
In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor William’s memory may consider making a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association in support of Alzheimer’s research. Flowers are also welcome and appreciated.
