William Bose Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A master of eclectic word choices and unpredictably funny behavior, Bill gave and received his final salutes on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Bill was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to his late parents, Robert and Madeline Bose. He is also preceded in death by his sister, Christine Ann Bose. Bill is survived by his dear wife, Celia Bose; his children Jason Bose, Dena Jones, Andrea Barth, Christopher Jones, Phillip (Zoey) Dunford, Jenny (Brian) Stave and Candice (Steven) Mccoy; his brothers, Richard Bose, Michael Bose, and David Bose. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Haley, Logan and Melanie Bose, Madison Mullins, Avery and Kinsey Barth, Eva Jean Dunford, Dominic Johnson, Nadia and Laila White; as well as many nieces and nephews. Bill began serving his country in the United States Army at 20 years old and served during the Vietnam Era. Additionally, he was a member of American Legion Post #4 in Florence, KY. Bill could always be counted on for a good laugh and never left you questioning what was on his mind. He was one to lead by example, always putting his family first, and ensuring those near to him knew his love. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Visitation will take place on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at Stith Funeral Home, 7500 U.S.
Hwy 42, Florence, Kentucky 41042, beginning at 4:00 p.m. until the time of the funeral service at 7:00 p.m. The rendering of military honors will follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the Boone County Animal Shelter, as Bill was an avid animal lover with a heart for his pack.
