Earl "Bill" William Rine

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Suzi Rine, his son, Timothy Rine (Judy) of Lorton, VA, his daughter, Rebecca Ferguson (Keith) of Fairfax, VA, 2 grandchildren, Liam Ferguson, & Caitlin Ferguson, 2 stepdaughters, Michelle Bliss (Marshall) of Whiteville, TN, Shannon Sayre of Brandywine, MD, 1 step granddaughter, Chelsea Zimmerman, & 1 great-grandson, Hudson Zimmerman. Also, his sister, Joyce Dawson of Farmdale, OH, his brother Russell Rine of St. Helena Island, SC, & his sister, Clara Lou Moczek of Triadelphia, WV.

Bill was a graduate of Marshall University, a member of Sigma Psi Epsilon fraternity, & was affectionately known as "Dwarf" or "E Willy" by all who knew & loved him at Marshall. He was a staunch supporter of the Alumni Club, & all things sports related of the "Thundering Herd". Bill also went on to become a very successful soccer coach of the 1972 Springfield Spirit Girls' team that went on to win the U-16 & the U-19 US National Championships.

He initially retired at age 65 from the Dept. of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, but continued to work at home on contract work as a Senior Policy Advisor until after the Covid epidemic subsided in 2023 at the age of 86.

Bill was a vital & enthusiastic member at both of his Assisted Living facilities, organizing & volunteering for "anything" that he could be a part of. He was known as the "Rollator Roadrunner" for his speedy fly-bys in every corner of the building! Bill was the best man I have ever known, & he will be forever loved & forever missed. I hope you have a bright red Rollator up in Heaven too, because no one will EVER be able to catch you now!
