Derby William Quincy "Bill" Guilliams, 84, died, Thursday, December 22nd, 2022. He was born

November 22nd, 1938 to Quincy and Sadie (Babcock) Guilliams in Williamsburg, VA.

Bill was born and raised in Williamsburg, Virginia. After high school, he joined the Air Force to see the

world. After being stationed in Texas and Colorado, he was stationed at McConnell AFB where he met

Nola, the love of his life, while dragging Douglas. Bill worked various jobs until he was hired as an

installer for Western Electric (a part of AT&T) where he worked until he retired.

Bill raised three kids David, Mike, and Julie and was an active participant in their lives. He coached them

in football, baseball, and softball. Even though Bill knew nothing about soccer, when Mike decided to

play, he volunteered to help coach the team and learned as much about the game as possible. Bill was

also an active leader in the Boy Scouts for many years.

After retirement, Bill was able to see the world by traveling with Nola. His other pastime was spending

time with his grandchildren. He volunteered at the Derby Food Pantry and was always eager to help

anybody in need.

Bill is survived by his wife of 61 years, Nola, children David (and his wife Mary K) Chicago Ill, Michael

Derby, Ks, and Julie Simpson Sand Springs, Ok, grandchildren Arianna and Zane, step-grandchildren Jake

and Ella (and her husband Nick) and step-grandchildren Simon and Willa.
