William "Bill" Will

William "Bill" Will, 69, of Clayton, Indiana, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2025, at Indiana University Health in Avon, Indiana. Born on May 14, 1955, in Wurzburg, Germany, to William Huffman and Barbara Oliphant, Bill lived a life full of love and laughter.

Bill served his country with honor in the United States Army and was part of the Indiana National Guard. As a proud brother Mason with the Bellville Masonic Lodge #65, he made lasting friendships and connections.

Above everything, the memories of Bill’s warm spirit will be cherished by his family and friends, who he loved dearly.
