William-Blair

William Blair

William “Bill” John Blair III, 61, passed away at his home on Aug. 29, 2013.

Bill was born on Feb. 23, 1952, in Dallas. He attended Richardson High School.

Bill was a longtime employee of Frank Caven and Caven Enterprises, working in a variety of positions — including bartender, club lighting and office manager.

Bill was kind and courageous and had a wicked sense of humor. A brilliant storyteller, Bill’s tales could always elicit a laugh.

Bill was preceded in death by his father, William Blair II, and his mother, Pearl Buck Bogadis.

In the last decades of his life, Bill had a Fellowship grow up about him, and he is survived by a host of friends and his brother, Jack Curtis Blair.

Bill had begun to know a new freedom and a new happiness. He has now entered the realm of the spirit and knows peace. “I know that’s right!”
