Damus predeceased him, as did his parents Walter Damus, Jr., a car dealer, casino manager and owner and Juneve Key Damus, a fashion model and motivational speaker. Bill is survived by his oldest brother, Charles M. Damus, a practicing attorney, his nephew, John C. Damus, both of Las Vegas, his twin cousins, Jim and Joan Frydenlund and his aunt, Flora Belle Key, all of Seattle. Bill was a graduate of Valley High School and attended UNLV. He was well traveled and had a colorful life, most of which was spent living in Las Vegas and Southern California, where he sold home spas. Retired, Bill loved cooking for his many friends and he will be greatly missed. Post Covid, his family plans on having a future ceremony to remember Bill. Services will be private.
