William Ogletree Obituary

Bill Ogletree, 77, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, at home in Ocoee, Florida with his wife and daughter by his side. Bill was born on October 29, 1943, in Orlando, Florida, at Florida Sands and Sanitarium now known as AdventHealth. He is the son of the late James T. and Lura Mae (Clark) Ogletree. Bill is survived by his loving wife Helen L. (Klotz) Ogletree and daughter Jill D. Ogletree as well as his nieces, Jo J. Reeves of Oak Hill, and Leslie Camille (Camie) Bentley of Winter Garden. Bill loved his hometown of Winter Garden where he lived and worked most of his life. As a commercial salesman for Ace Hardware in Winter Garden, Florida, formerly known as Bray Hardware, Bill was known and loved for his personable service. His customers walked into Ace Hardware and yelled, "Mr. Bill!" Everyone enjoyed the best service possible and left with a smile. Bill was knowledgeable from hardware to history-especially Winter Garden history. Bill was a proud veteran of the Vietnam War, serving in both the U.S. Navy and Marines. He loved his country until the very end. Bill's arrangements are in the caring guidance of Winter Oak Funeral Home & Cremations, 1132 E. Plant St. Winter Garden, FL 34787.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was such a kind, gentle soul, a good man and a good friend to me when we worked together at Howard's Hardware. May God grant you both comfort and peace at this time.

Dear Mrs. Ogletree;
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your loving and beloved husband Bill.
I knew him most of my life and he was one of the nicest and most caring people I ever met.
It was always a treat to meet Y'all in Bob Evans or Cracker Barrel in Clermont.
If he saw me first he would say ''Michael, did you know that... and he would be two sentences deep in the conversation before I turned to see who it was. It was always a pleasure to talk to him and boy, did he like to talk.
God bless you and your daughter during this time of grief.
Goodbye, Sir William,' til we meet again.

So sad to hear about Billy's passing. I sure enjoyed working with him, George and Everlyn at Brays all these years ago. I remember him and Terry bringing me the dead flowers for secretary day one year and Billy always wanting his back scratched. He was a sweetheart.
May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you during this difficult time.
