William D. Sampson
Nov. 1, 1933 - May 17, 2021
BLOOMINGTON - William D. Sampson, 87, of Bloomington, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by family, on Monday, May 17, 2021.
His funeral will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 21, 2021 at Calvary United Methodist Church. Carmody-Flynn Funeral Home, Bloomington, is in charge of arrangements. Burial will be in East Lawn Memorial Gardens, Bloomington.
He was born November 1, 1933 in Evanston, a son of Claire and Lou Esther (Ellison) Sampson. He married Kittye Ash on May 8, 1953 in Waynesville and she preceded him in death on December 27, 1998. He later married Julie Moss on April 29, 2000 in Bloomington and she survives.
Also surviving are four children: Brenda (Richard) Eames, Beth Donovan, Bart Sampson and Bobbi (Bill) Mulcahey; 13 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; a brother, Jack (Carol) Sampson; a sister, Martha Lou (Dan) Rich; and several nieces and nephews.

Bill served in the U.S Army and retired from General Electric, where he worked for thirty-seven years. The most interesting and enjoyable of his many positions with GE was a five-year assignment as a Plant Manager in Melbourne, Australia. Bill was an avid reader and tennis player, and enjoyed traveling the world with his job as well as with his family. He also loved serving the Lord through volunteering. He was a wonderful, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and will be deeply missed.
