William Stroman Stair, Jr., affectionately known as Bill to his friends and family, passed away on November 11, 2025, in The Villages, Florida. Born on April 19, 1944 in Baltimore. Bill's vibrant spirit and infectious smile left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew him.

Bill was the beloved husband of Sharon, with whom he shared a loving marriage be since May 26, 1989. Together, they created a life filled with laughter and cherished memories. Bill was a dedicated father and stepfather to his daughter, Kimberly, and his stepsons, Daniel (Misa), Clayton (Lisa), and Christopher (Jamie). His role as a grandfather brought him immense pride and happiness, as he doted on his eight grandchildren: Max, Emily, Ryan, Katlyn, Camryn, Danielle, Donovan, and Dallas.

Professionally, Bill served as President of Up To Date Laundry; however, it was his hole-in-one at Rolling Road Country Club in January 1992 that he would recount with the most pride, a testament to his passion for golf. Bill's love for the game was evident in his tireless pursuit of the perfect swing and the countless hours spent on the greens under the sun.

Beyond the fairways, Bill was a man of diverse interests. He could often be found engrossed in his favorite "cowboy movies". He loved riding his motorcycle and was passionate about his collection of guns. Bill will be remembered for his love of Old Bay and any and all seafood, a nod to his Baltimore roots and a tradition he relished sharing with friends and family. He was a Shriner for 35 years.

Bill was known for always having a story to tell. He would share them with anyone and everyone who would listen.

Bill's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the simple pleasures of life. His presence could light up a room, and his absence will be felt deeply by all who were fortunate enough to know him. As we bid farewell to William Stroman Stair, Jr., we take solace in the wealth of memories he leaves behind, a treasure trove of moments that will continue to inspire and comfort us in the days to come.
