It is with great sadness the family announces his passing. Bill spent his life as a hardworking, dedicated, faithful man. He loved the outdoors, hunting, black velvet, fishing, trap shooting, camping, old westerns and family dinners. Not necessarily in that order. Bill never met a stranger and always had the time for everyone. As a young man he learned to work hard and take on whatever job was available to support himself and his family. He spent 20+ years working in the timber industry and the last 20 years in Prineville as Lilze Custom Building and Repairs. Although our hearts are heavy, we will celebrate his life and find comfort that he is watching over us. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 43 years, Angie; children: Heath (Jennifer), Alicia Tugmon (Josh) and Chad (Melissa). He cherished his role as grandfather to Rylee and Brennah Tugmon (Alicia) and Leona and Elizabeth (Chad). He will be greatly missed by his ‘good buddies’, excellent old friends and of course his brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Paulina trap club. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date
