Bill Mooney

Bill was the smartest man I have ever known. He knew something about everything. He lived nextdoor to my mom , me and my 3 brothers for years. We kinda adopted each other as family. He was always welcome in our home as well as my brothers. Rest in Paradise Uncle Bill, we love you.

What a wonderful person he was great neighbor.. he will be missed. Kristy Barry Johnson Linda jose

Bill was such a kind soul. He was one of those special people you're lucky to meet. Rest in peace, dear Bill.

Bill was a friend and a neighbor. I enjoyed our talks and sharing artifacts. He had many a story to tell. He was a very fine artist, and I looked forward to buying cards from him each year. He was a kind soul in a strong man. He did not like to ask for help. I will miss seeing him out on his porch.

My mother Martha Boice and Bill worked on Shaker projects together for many years. My wife and I got to know Bill when he helped us disperse Martha's large Shaker antique collection and that is when we got to enjoy some of Bill's many stories! Our favorites were his Woodstock stories! He was a unique individual. He will be missed.

"I made the decision to live an artful life." Sometime around 1969, Bill told me, he was trying to figure out what he would do with his life. By that time he had been a street medic at the biggest protests and demonstrations of the era, he had a degree in pre-med and was attending--unregistered--classes art the Dayton Art Institute, chasing music around the country at the big festivals of the day, but he realized that he would not be a doctor. Living an artful life was his decision, no matter...

I remember Bill from Fairmont High School. He was always talking to his other classmates. He was always very, very friendly. He will be missed.

I am not a relative but I always called him uncle bill.i will miss his endless story's I learned so much and still not enough.he was my book of knowledge.his story's of antique dealers art music nothing he didn't know something about. A treasure I will miss.

I´ve known Bill since the 1980´s - we had a common interest in the Shakers. Bill´s first love was the Shaker Village of Watervliet - on the east side of Dayton at the end of Patterson Road. We have been working on a book on Watervliet over the past five years. He had studied manuscripts about the village in great detail and his favorite Shaker was Moses Eastwood. I last visited with him in July. He was intelligent, humorous, patient, and a friend. He will be missed.
