A proud veteran of the US Army Air Corps 1943-1945, he served in WWII – Europe. Bill was very committed to his evangelical faith and church. He was preceded in death by his wife Jean in 2004, who died of Alzheimer’s, and missed her very much. In addition, Bill’s brother Jerry passed away in 2017. Bill and Jean always enjoyed their road trips together, traveling east and west to visit family and see the country. Bill is survived by a son in Arizona, a daughter, two grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren in New York. He will be missed very much by his family and friends.
Long a supporter of the Alzheimer’s Association, he would have appreciated any memorial contributions to that charity. Bill will be buried at Resthaven Cemetery in West Des Moines. No funeral services are planned.
