My Grandpa was the greatest man I ever knew. I am going to miss him dearly. I loved spending time with him and hearing his voice. I know that he is in heaven now with my beautiful grandmother and they get to spend their first Christmas together again after 15 years. Grandpa, I will never forget you! I loved every second that you were alive. I can't wait to be with you and Grandma... But until that day.. Give her a big hug for me... GO BROWNS, BUCKEYES, and INDIANS! Maybe when I get to heaven I can challenge you in PAC-MAN.. I know I will never win, but I loved teasing you and telling you I would... I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!

Those who knew William, knew a man who had a great sense of humor, was an avid sports enthusiest, cheering for his beloved Buckeyes, Browns, and Cavs. He was the hardest working man anyone could have known working past retirement, rarely missing work. William was also repsposable for delivering the weekly ads on most of the southside and obetz for more than twenty years. This man never asked anything of anyone in he entire life, yet gave anything and everything he had to those around hiim including children and step children.Words can never say enough about this man and the many lives he has touched. Those who knew William Elbert South, have a large void in their lives today, but will always remember that great laugh and playfullness that he brought to everyone he knew. We only gain peace in knowing he will not suffer, and will be reunited with his beloved Charlotte, We love you
