William Bush Obituary
February 19, 1952 - June 11, 2022
On Saturday, June 11, 2022, William (Pug) Horace Bush Jr, loving father of two children and grandfather of 2 grandchildren, passed away at the age of 70. Pug was born February 19, 1952 in Jackson Mississippi to William Horace Bush and Thelma (Smith) Bush.
Pug was retired after a long and successful career at Dixie Pipe sales. Pug was an avid American history buff. His vacations were spent traveling to different monuments and historical sites with his lifelong friend Lance McKenzie. When he wasn't traveling his time was spent fishing, working on restoring his two classic Chevy trucks (Detroit iron rules!) or creating sceneries for his model trains. He was a lifelong Astros fan, loved dogs, and most of all loved good old classic rock music. He was as loyal as they come and will be remembered for his infectious belly laugh.
Pug was proceeded in death by his parents and brother William Howard Bush. He is survived by his son James Bush (DIL Chelsea) , daughter Nicole Nolan (SIL Ryan), and grandchildren Connor and Emmy.
Services will be held Friday June 17th at 2pm at Grand View funeral home in Pasadena.

I remember Pug as a good fellow and a good athlete. He was also the only 8 year old to make it to the majors in Meyerland Little League. He played for the Rebels under Mr Wilson. Rest In Peace, Pug.

I am so sorry to hear about Pug´s passing. We had a fun childhood in the Meyerland area that we lived. Fond memories of going to school with Pug and his friends including Lance McKenzie - from Lovett Elementary, Johnston Middle School and Bellaire High School! Go Cardinals! May wonderful memories comfort you at this time. My prayers are with you and your family.
