beating cancer and many years of fighting multiple illnesses, he succumbed to them. Bill was
born on October 3, 1952 in Sacramento, California. He graduated from Christian
Brothers High School. Bill worked in construction most of his life and took immense pride in his
profession as a painter. He truly was the best in the business. When Bill was not working, he
enjoyed spending time surrounded by family and friends. He also enjoyed rooting on his
favorite sports teams, the S.F. Giants and the S.F 49ers. He enjoyed playing, collecting and
restoring old pinball machines. As a hobby that began in high school, Bill became very skilled
and something he greatly enjoyed, even earning him the nickname “Pinball Wizard.” He also
enjoyed camping in the redwoods, gardening and working in the backyard. One of his favorite
activities was going to "The City" for the day with his family and enjoying a delicious chowder
bowl. He is preceded in death by his father, Bill Conlin, Sr., and his mother, Olivia Conlin. He is
survived by his son, Curtis, and his grandson, Landon. Bill touched the lives of all he met, and
will be greatly missed.
