Bill Bunney died Sunday, December 11, 2011, ending his 18 month battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully at his home with his family. Wife, Dolores, daughters, Karen and Melissa, brother and sister-in-law, Bob and Marcia Bunney, and nephew, Bob Bunney were all by his side. He is survived by a host of family and friends, golf buddies, and neighbors. Bill was born in Lansing, MI on March 17, 1939 to the late Leonard Bunney and the late Hilma Tervo. He is the eldest of four boys and is survived by brothers Bob and Richard Bunney and Wayne Tervo who all reside in Michigan. Bill raised his family in Manchester, MI, the town where both he and his wife of 49 years grew up. Bill had a rewarding 32-year career with Ford Motor Company which eventually took him and his family to El Paso, TX in 1984. El Paso agreed with Bill and he florished there --- learning Spanish, growing to love enchiladas and brisket, and continually working on his golf game. Bill retired from Ford in 1996 and moved with his wife to Aiken, finding a vibrant community and a new home on the 10th hole of a lovely golf course. Up until the very end, Bill remained an avid University of Michigan footbal fan, taking great pleasure in their recent victory over Ohio State University. He will be missed by many family and friends across both Michigan and South Carolina. There will be a memorial service for Bill in his hometown of Manchester at Emanuel United Church of Christ on 21 December at 11 am. An additional celebration will follow in Aiken at a date and time as yet to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or Emanuel United Church of Christ 324 West Main St., Manchester, MI 48158.
