Bill was born on January 1, 1924 in Temple, Georgia to the late Miller and Lula Hamil. A man of great pride, he served his country in the United States Navy and followed with a civil service career in Electronics at Robins Air Force Base. Following his retirement, Bill spent many years working for Eddie Wiggins Ford. He loved to garden and enjoyed visiting produce stands and sharing his supply with his neighbors. Bill was a member of Bethel Baptist Church and had recently been attending Second Baptist Church with his family.

His beloved wife, Estelle Hamil; daughters, Gwinnette Williamson, Denese Tabor, Tracie Dockery; granddaughter, Kellie Roop and parents, preceded him in death.
His memory will forever be treasured by his loving children; Judy Goodman (Ben), Gary Hamil (Jan) and Alvin Tabor, son in law; grandchildren, Mark Goodman (Jeannie), Cheri Goodman, Ashley Williamson (Rachel), Caitlin Dockery (Travis), Emily Deavor (Will), Wesley Tabor (Michelle) and Brooks Tabor (Nicki); great grandchildren, Casie Dougharty (Shane), Joshua Goodman (Cameron), Harley Roberts, Hannah Roberts, Bret Roberts, Maura Williamson, Lucian, Fathom, Lexxi Roop, Mason Roop, Jayce Tabor, Kaylyn Tabor, Dylan Tabor and Kannon Tabor; great-great grandchildren, Emmagrace Goodman, Brody Dougharty, Lennox Goodman and Bryson Albino. A special thank you to dear friend and special caregiver, who loved Bill like her own father, Carrie Milton, her son, Tracy and grandson, Larry.
