Bill was a native of Middletown Ohio but resided in Louisville since 1969. He attended Ohio State University and was a graduate of Kentucky Wesleyan College. Bill spent the last 27 years of his career as a pharmaceutical executive, retiring in 2017. He was a natural athlete and enjoyed baseball, basketball, volleyball and golf. Bill had a generous spirit and a great sense of humor. His laugh will be missed by all who knew him. He was a lifetime devoted Catholic and rarely missed Mass before his illness.
Bill is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Sherry Barnes, children, Faron Barnes, Chad Barnes (Stacie), Kelly Terlau (Travis) and Dara Keneally (Michael). He is also survived by three grandchildren, Will, Emily and Lainey.
