He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Jack Alston, and Jon Alston.
Bill worked in the airline industry for many years. First with Braniff Airways and then Southwest Airlines. At Southwest, he was presented with the President's Award for his dedication to his work. He retired from Ikon Office Solutions as Director of their call center in Houston. Bill was a member of First Baptist Church, Georgetown, where he served as a Deacon and as a class teacher for many years. One of his favorite activities at church was greeting the congregation at the front door of the sanctuary. He loved people so much and this gave him the opportunity to share that love.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts to the Benevolence Fund at First Baptist Georgetown, 1333 West University Avenue, Georgetown, Texas 78628.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 20th, 2023 in the Chapel of Ramsey Funeral. For those unavailable to attend, the family is providing a livestream of the service through Ramsey Funeral Home. Please select this link to view: In Loving Memory of Bill Alston

Bill hired me into his department at IKON Office Solutions when I was fresh out of high school, June 2005. Extraordinary man, amazing smile and contagious laugh. Always loved speaking to him in his office and I appreciate him giving me a chance to become a man. Miss you Bill, my prayers are with his family and friends. May God bless you all and give you peace that he is now embracing the Lord.
