William B. Pease

William B. Pease, a dedicated family man and accomplished professional, passed away on December 8, 2024, at the age of 94. Born in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on August 11, 1930, Bill as he was known led a life full of service, innovation, and love for his family.

Bill proudly served in the United States Air Force for 13 years, where he worked as a codebreaker - a role that was vital to the defense and security of the nation during a time of great technological change. His service laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for computers, a field that was still in its early stages of development. After his military service, Bill continued his work in technology, joining USAA as a computer programmer at a time when such careers were not yet commonplace. He maintained a fondness for technology and continued to utilize computers until his final days. After retiring from USAA he worked at UTSA as well as taking classes there. After retiring he discovered he had a talent for painting.

He was preceded in death by his beloved first wife, Shirley June Pease, and his second wife, Oleta A. Madry Pease. He was also predeceased by his infant son, Leon Patrick Pease, infant daughter, Pamela Pease, and son James Lawrence Pease.
