William Posey Obituary
Born on Feb. 17, 1922, in Charleroi, he was the son of the late John and Anna (Dubinsky) Posey.
Bill proudly served our country in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, achieving a bachelor's degree in biology, and he taught chemistry at Zelienople High School. He retired from MSA in 1987 after serving 32 years as the manager of administrative services. William was very civic minded and served on the Seneca Valley school board, the Zelienople Community Park board and the Zelienople Library board, and he was instrumental in organizing the Fourth of July parade, earning him the nickname "Mr. Parade." He will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.
He is survived by his three children, William John Posey Jr. of North Carolina, Kurt Posey of Kentucky and Carol (Randy) Raisley of Cranberry Township; and his six grandchildren, Aaron, Mark, Jody and Brad Posey, and Michael and Jenna Raisley.
In addition to his parents, William was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Geraldine (Hayward) Posey.

Dear Bill, Kurt, and my childhood friend, Carol,
I just learned of your father's passing from another family member and wanted to send you my most heartfelt sympathies. Your parents were always very kind to me whenever I visited your home and I always appreciated that. I remember your father's smile, his voice, and his gentle, easy-going manner. From his obituary I can tell he led a full life. May we all be able to say the same.
Most sincerely,
Carol Eiler Moore
