William GEHRING Obituary

William Robert "Bill" GEHRING

1929- 2017

William "Bill" Gehring, age 88, passed away on October 26, 2017, and went home to be with the Lord. He was born on April 2, 1929 in Toledo, Ohio to Richard Gehring and Jessie Elizabeth (Wilder) Gehring- Piotraschke. He also was an U.S. Army veteran of the Korean War.

Bill enjoyed spending time with family, especially watching his grandchildren and great grandchildren take part in their numerous sporting activities where he was affectionately known as "G-man". He could often be seen with a folding chair in one hand and a bag of sunflower seeds in the other. Bill was a lifelong fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes and enjoyed talking about the great teams under Woody Hayes. Like other people from the Great Depression era, Bill never complained or worried about himself but thought about the welfare of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Betty; older brother, Richard (Marge) Gehring; stepson, Greg Cunningham; and granddaughter, Amie Gehring. He is survived by step son, Dan (Laurie) Cunningham; children, Bill (Aida) Gehring, Peggy (Larry) Johnson, and Ken (Sue) Gehring; grandchildren, Jordan Johnson, Becky Gravelle, Jack Johnson, Betsy Gehring and Emily Begin; 13 great-grandchildren; sister, Sue Lemle; and brother, Larry (Karen) Gehring.

At Bill's request no services or visitation will be held.

Donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
