In Memory Of
William B. "Bill" Dawson
1930 - 2017
In his later years he served with the 5th Regiment Combat Team, 53rd Counter Fire in the Korean War. When Bill returned home after the war he got to continue his passion of exploring the different waterways and rivers in Florida. He was very lucky when a girl from Kentucky came to work as a telephone operator for Orange Buick where Bill happened to be working and she became the love of his life. Barbara enjoyed boating, camping & fishing even though she swam like a rock. Bill’s father-in-law Homer got him interested in fishing which he enjoyed the rest of his life. He loved vacationing, boating & fishing at Key Colony Beach in the Florida Keys with his family and friends. In Bills later years he enjoyed playing cards & poker with his family members on the weekends. Bill also loved car racing, NASCAR and watching football, especially college football.
Bill wants us all to remember that death is part of life, don’t mourn but enjoy the time we had together with family and friends.
Bill is preceded in death by his father Robert B. Dawson and mother Nell Datson Dawson and brother Robert B. Dawson Jr. He is survived by his wife Barbara Ann, Daughters Keelee Dawson Eden, Marnell Panter and husband Bobby Joe, Grandsons, Kyle Dawson Eden and Brandon Lyle Panter all from Orlando.
