William Milliron Obituary
Nashville - 12/25/36-7/23/18
Sadly we say goodbye to a wonderful man loved and admired by many. William 'Bill' Armitage Milliron Jr passed away July 23, 2018. Born on December 25, 1936 in Youngstown, OH to William and Mary Milliron, Bill had many accomplishments throughout his lifetime both professionally and personally, starting at a young age attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. He was a graduate of Dennison University and an MBA graduate from Wharton Business School. Captain Milliron was a pilot in the Marine Corps. His passion for flying continued throughout his life including owning his own plane. Bill's successful career began with Ford Motor Company, MI, later with Innovative Systems, PA, and M & I Bank, WI. He loved playing golf, spending many years playing at Nashville's McCabe Golf Course. Bill struggled with Alzheimer's and cardio issues the last few years, but never lost his caring, loving, generous ways.
Bill was a loving husband to Gail, and two previous wives - Nancy, of Atlanta, GA and Sheila, who died March 1998. He leaves behind his son Mark Milliron, and 7 stepchildren Jeff Gideon, Stephen Materazzi, Kathy Calachino, Toby, Corbett, Chad Gibson, and Celeste Buckner as well as their respective spouses. He will be dearly missed by 19 grandchildren. His 2 younger siblings Sam Milliron and Mary Lou Hudtloff also survive him. He is a legacy in his own right. He was and always will be loved.
There will be a memorial service at Belle Meade United Methodist Church Sunday August 5. Visitation begins at 2 with a Celebration of Life Memorial at 3. (casual dress).

Dear Gail and family,
We're saddened to hear of Bill's passing. To state the obvious, Bill was one of the finest people ever. We feel fortunate, indeed, to have known him and to call him our friend.
We'll always remember Bill's kindness, his gentle nature, and his thoughtfulness -- not to mention his determination. On a visit to St. Louis long ago, we were on a day trip in Missouri wine country during which Bill was plagued with excruciating back pain. Rather than letting this stop him from enjoying the outing, he took a short break to stretch out on the ground -- after which he was "up and at 'em again."
Bill leaves us with many cherished memories. We're so sorry we can't be there for the service, but please know that we'll be toasting Bill with some Miller Lite (in cans, of course.) : )
With our love and deepest sympathy,
Betty and Bob Mathieu

Nita and I met Bill back in 1977 and without a doubt he was one of the kindest men we've ever met. He never met a stranger and had a big heart. We tailgated for many years at the TITANS games and Bill's fondest moment was each season when all the service veterans were asked to stand, He was proud to have served his country as a Marine pilot. Bill touched the lives of many and all benefited. He will be missed.
