William LeRoy Cain

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 48 years, Lucille Beatrice Cain; his brothers, Frank and Jack Cain; and his in-laws Leon Lowery, Ed and Lois Dilbeck, Barbara Tanner, and Dale and Mary Carter.

Bill attended Louvale Elementary and graduated from West Bainbridge High School. He proudly served his country in the United States Army, receiving an honorable discharge in 1959. During his service, Bill traveled to Germany, Holland, and Paris—experiences he fondly remembered as highlights of his time in the military. Following his service, Bill began a long career with Sears, Roebuck and Co., where he worked faithfully from 1955 until his retirement in 1995. In 1961, Bill married the love of his life, Lucille Beatrice Lowery, originally of Fort Payne, Alabama, whom he met while she was in Atlanta for a work-study program. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and family. They were blessed with two sons, David Anthony Cain and Jeffery Alan Cain.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Bill was a devoted Georgia Bulldogs fan—“Go Dawgs!”—and especially loved football. He also enjoyed cooking, traveling, and spending time with his family and friends. Above all, Bill was a kind and good-hearted man who cherished his children, grandchildren, and extended family.

He is survived by his sons David (Nikki) Cain and Jeffery (Sharon) Cain; grandchildren Tiffany Cain, Nicolas Cain, and Joshua Cain; and great-grandchildren Christopher Cain and Michael Cain. He is also survived by his brother Whitley (Lucy) Brown, his brother-in-law Milton (Paula) Lowery, and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

Bill was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
