Ohio.

He served his country in the U.S. Marine Corp. during the Korean War

final resting place will be in Toledo, Ohio. Arrangements were
entrusted to Ruffner-Wakelin Mortuary in Prescott, Arizona. Bill was a
wonderful man who loved his family dearly, his Country and His God.
MAY HIS MEMORY BE ETERNAL.
