William Rohrbaugh Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
1952 – 2024
Bill was born in Whittier CA April 21, 1952 to William and Carolyn Maggiore Rohrbaugh. The family moved to Salt Lake City and then later to Santa Barbara, CA. He graduated from San Marcos High School in 1970.
His dream was to be a sports announcer. He got his chance when he was 20 at a small radio station in Apopka FL. He did announcing for Rawlins College and conducted interviews at a few MLB Spring Training games. He liked the interaction with the teams, but was homesick and discouraged by the working conditions. He decided to move back to Santa Barbara when he was 21. A family friend offered him a job at First American Title Company in Las Vegas, NV in 1976 which turned out to be
his true calling. His title insurance career started there, and through hard work and a knack with people, he rose to Senior Vice President – County Manager at Ticor Title.
He retired in 2007 and he and his wife, Rita, moved to Sheridan, WY. He loved golfing with his numerous buddies, who he referred to as the "Knuckleheads", and they in turn nicknamed him Billy P. He was invited to become a director on the Sheridan College Foundation board where he served 9 years as President, and was extremely supportive of the students in the Student Partner program. He served on the Powder Horn HOA board, the design Review Committee, and was a member of the Big Horn Lions Club.
Bill is survived by Rita, his wife of 45 years, daughter Stephanie in Henderson, NV and his sister, Janet, in Las Vegas, NV. A Celebration of Life will be at the Powder Horn Wednesday, June 5, 2024 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
