Bill is survived by his loving wife Liz; his daughter Christina Bahe (Dwayne) and granddaughter Camryn of West Des Moines, Iowa; his daughter Amanda Thompson (Tony) and grandson Nolan and granddaughters Maren and Layla of Elkhart, Iowa; his sister Cecilia “Sis” Staffey (Phillip) of Saint Charles, Illinois; his sister Patricia “Patt” Tesinsky of Phoenix, Arizona; nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews; as well as many friends and loved ones who he considered to be his family.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil and Georgia Abney and his baby sister Victoria Abney.
