William H. Poston, 87, left our sight but not our hearts on November 8, 2009. Bill was born on January 14, 1922 in Lafayette, Indiana. He graduated from The Citadel in 1943 and was called to active duty in the U.S. Infantry and Air Force in 1943. After his honorable discharge he became the plant superintendent of Poston-Herron Brick Co., in Attica, Indiana, until 1960. He then moved to Tucson, Ariz., where he began a successful career with National Life of Vermont in 1961. He loved his family and friends dearly and shared his zeal for life, good music, golf, astronomy, Shakespeare, camping and travel with his family and friends. He was truly a renaissance man and inspired us with his quest for knowledge and his loving and sweet, light-hearted ways. He is survived by his wonderful wife Carolyn, who he adored; stepchildren, David (Virg) Diebold and Karen (Chip) Fouquet; granddaughters, Erika and Laura Diebold; niece, Dolly Poston Zollars; and many extended family and friends. Memorial service will be 11 a.m. Sunday, November 15, 2009, at EVERGREEN MORTUARY. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial contribution to one of these organizations that were so very helpful to Bill during his illness: American Diabetes Association; Sarver Heart Center or to Peppie’s House.
