John William Demory Sr.

It's not always that someone from our school makes the "big" time but if anyone was going to it was our very own Bill. It was such a blast watching him play for our school. Bill was so nice and very humble which is pretty much the way he lived for his whole life. You are greatly missed here Bill and for now no greater place to be but to be in the presence of Jesus.

I remember Bill coming to our football practices after he had graduated from Cortez. He was always a cool dude. RIP Bill.

Bill was one of the nicest guys on campus and a pleasure to be a teammate on the Cortez Football Team! We were all so proud of him when he made the JETS! GOD BLESS HIS SOUL!

I always looked up to Bill as a cousin. I went to Pittsburgh to watch the game he started against Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers. May God bless him in heaven.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Barb and family, I am so saddened by the news of Bill´s passing. Bill and I were pickleball partners at Mission Royale. It was a pleasure to play with such a kind man. I often think of the tournaments that Bill and I played in together. I missed he and Barb when they moved away from Mission Royale in Casa Grande. My heart goes out to all of you. Caryn McComas

I knew of Bill Demory through his football exploits at Cortez high school but I actually met him when he was a professor at Arizona Western College where I worked. I believe it was in the late 90s. Bill was a real gentleman and very easy to talk to. A very humble and kind man who certainly led a very full life. When he moved over to Central Arizona College he always made a point to say hello when AWC was playing them in basketball. RIP and Godspeed Bill

Bill was a class ahead of me in high school. We knew each other as schoolmates and that was going way back. He was an outstanding athlete and a really nice guy. We're proud that he, as one of our own, made it to the NFL field. I am sad for his passing. There will be an empty classroom chair on the Cortez campus now but our memories of Bill and those high school times will be everlasting. Rest In Peace Bill. You will be greatly missed. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Condolences for your loss. I grew up with Johnny Bill in Indianola. We played sports constantly, oneto the next. Stayed in touch through our high school years (leters) Lots of fond memories.
