It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, William A. Urlaub at the age of 78. Bill was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 29th, 1945 to William and Elizabeth Urlaub.  After Graduating high school Bill volunteered to enlist in the army where he proudly served in the Vietnam war. Bill went on to work as an engineer and retired from Lucent technology after many years.

Our father at heart was an avid outdoorsman. He spent much of his time hunting, fishing, and hiking. He also enjoyed spending time surrounded by loved ones at family barbeques . Bill is survived by his devoted wife Patricia, his son Joshua from Galena, Ohio, his two daughters Laurel Frazier and Marcy Camp, both from Arkansas. As well as his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

True to his love of the outdoors a short graveside service will be held in Arkansas followed by a reception with family.
