William Vines Obituary
Bill loved his family, golf, and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Bill attended Birmingham Southern and graduated from the University of Alabama. He faithfully served his country in the United States Army and worked to help explore God's creation with NASA. He was a beloved member and friend at Huntsville Country Club for many years. Any moment you shared with Bill would have been filled with laughter and a lot of jokes. Bill recently celebrated his 90th Birthday in August.
Visitation will be from 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesday, November 30 at Laughlin Service Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life will follow in the chapel with the Rev. Coy Hallmark officiating. Burial will be in Maple Hill Cemetery

Lisa, I am so very sorry to hear about your Dad. There are just too many wonderful memories to list here, but one of my last one's was when we were visiting Mom many years ago and our son hit her life alert button, as it was just sitting on the nightstand and he didn't know what it was. This was back in the day of "dial up" internet. Rick was on the computer, so the phone line was busy. They couldn't get through to the house, so they called her emergency number, which was your Dad. We were outside, and here comes your Dad running full speed trying to get to Mom as quick as he could! At the same time the ambulance was turning into the circle. We didn't know what was going on. He was so out of breath, but he was determined to get to her and see if he could help! Your parents were wonderful friends and neighbors for nearly 50 years! Again, such wonderful memories that I still cherish! Love you! Amy Sirmon-Power
