William BIEL Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch on Aug. 26, 2012.
BIEL, William E. "Bill," 63, died Saturday afternoon August 18, 2012 at his home with his wife by his side in Richmond, Va. At his request, in place of a service, his ashes will spread in the Atlantic Ocean. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Florence; daughter, Rachael Haynes-Biel; son, Dylan Biel; granddaughters, Melina, Kayla, Lillian; grandsons, Alexander and Kody; and his favorite furry sidekicks, Rojo and Tebow. Bill was a dedicated husband, amazing father and loyal friend. He loved his books, music, cars and of course, sunflowers. A deep thinker and an intellect through and through, he had a significant impact on the lives he touched and will be missed greatly. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you take a moment to honor Bill's memory by playing a Bob Dylan tune of your choice - preferably nice and loud.

Pappy, I miss you so much. You were my life. We were so close. Most kids don't have an amazing grandpa like you. I was so lucky to be have you in my life. No one can EVER take that special place in my heart that you have. I love you with everything I have.
