Williams Musick Obituary

Williams "Bill" Musick
July 1, 1946-Nov. 11, 2012
Resident of Ojai, CA
Former Boulder Creek resident Williams Norman ("Bill") Musick died Tuesday, November 20, 2012 of heart failure at the age of 66. Bill was born in San Diego, CA. Raised in Texas, Bill lived all over the U.S., enjoying a good ol' time living in San Francisco during the 1968 Summer of Love and beyond. He loved road trips, partying and sports, especially Texas college football (Hook 'em Horns!)
An award-winning sports journalist and photographer, Bill graduated from Foothill College where he was Student Body President and President of the Men's Club. He was a minister of the Universal Life Church and a spiritual mentor to all who knew and loved him.
Bill is survived by his loving partner of 28 amazing years Deva Hymen, and her mom, Lily Hymen; his daughters Buffy Shervington and Melissa Brown, and many grandchildren. He leaves behind his best canine buddies Happy Little Guy and Missy.
Bill's remains will be scattered in Hawaii. A nation-spanning candle-lighting memorial will be held on the Winter Solstice, Friday, December 21 at sunset. Light a candle or (or flick a lighter!) to help him on his journey. Please email [email protected] for more information.
