William Geden Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Detroit, Michigan to Harriet and George Geden, Bill was raised in Detroit and Southfield with his sisters, Cathy and Sally. He graduated from Howe Military school and returned home where he soon met Gloria, his wife while stopping in at Cunnigham's Drug Store on Woodward Avenue.
Although his work schedule kept him busy, Bill always made time for his family. Whether it was teaching his children how to shoot a basketball, throw a softball, tie a shoe, play guitar, ride a motorcycle or how to pitch a tent at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, he was a dedicated family man.
He is survived by his wife, Gloria of 51 years, his daughters and son and their spouses; Julie and Christine, Nicholas and Carrie and Christopher; grandchildren Kennedy, Everett, Eli, Calhoun, Felicity, Dylan, Jasper and Margot; his sister and brother-in-law Sal and Russell Courville.
