Bill entered into life Saturday, Sept. 21, 1946, the first child born to Robert and Evelyn (Leader) Veitch in Bloomdale.

He served his country in U.S. Air Force as a sergeant, spending several years installing electronics in Europe and the Middle East. He was a lover of model trains and had a very nice collection.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his sister, Susan McDermott of Sarasota, Florida; sister, Frances (Bill) Williams of Findlay; four nieces and nephews, Tricia McDermott, Marisa McDermott Knopp, Zach Williams, and Ben Williams; three great-nephews, Colton and Ethan Knopp, and Connor Williams; and great-niece, Harper Williams.
