William RUST Obituary


RUST, William (Bill)
We lost our patriarch, William (Bill) Rust, on September 22, 2012, at his home with his wife by his side. Bill was born in Sacramento on December 17, 1925. Bill was a World War II veteran and leaves behind his beloved wife of 65 years, Myrtle Rust. Bill is also survived by his sister Barbara Roberson, sons Glenn Rust (wife Shirley) and Jeffrey Rust (wife Mary Jo), his grandchildren Matt (wife Angie), Becky (fiance Ethan), Nathan (wife Crystal), Shane, and Maggie, as well as six great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Bill held various jobs in his life, but his primary love was umpiring baseball. There is an open house to commemorate Bill's life on October 13th starting at 11 AM at 1521 Wayland Avenue in Sacramento. Just your presence is enough.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
