William Barton Obituary

William B. Barton, age 88, of Poway, passed away Tuesday, February 3, 2015, at Pomerado Hospital in Poway, CA. He was born on January 22, 1927, in Peotone, IL. He married the late Rosemary L. (Jones) Barton on October 30, 1954, in Kankakee, IL. She preceded him in death on November 2, 2014.
Bill was a Poway resident for the last 25 years. He was a stock broker who loved following and analyzing the stock market. He was a very social, quick witted, funny man. Bill was a member of a number of different social groups including golf leagues and a wine tasting group. He loved being with his family and friends, playing golf, and traveling all over the world with his wife and children. He especially loved his grandchildren and spoiling them, often sneaking them chocolate and Dr. Pepper. He was a master gardener who was known for his tremendous rose bushes. He would have his grandchildren help him in the garden where he let them get filthy digging in the dirt and watering the plants with him. He was an avid Chicago Cubs and Padres fan, but also enjoyed all other sports. He was a World War II Army Veteran drafted into the service right out of high school.
He is survived by his two children, Lisa Barton (Dan) Fitzpatrick of Reno, NV, and Danny (Brandy) Ronek of Imperial, CA; and seven grandchildren, Aisling and Keara Fitzpatrick and Chloe, Emma, Allison, Brandan and Mylee Ronek.
A memorial service will be held Monday, March 2, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. at North City Presbyterian Church in Poway.
