Arthur William "Bill" Bales, III, 85,
passed away peacefully on December 12,2024.
Bill was born on December 29, 1938, in
Jacksonville, Florida. He attended Florida State University. After serving as a
proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force he continued his aviation journey by
joining the Alabama National Guard. In 1967, he began his career as a pilot for
Delta Airlines, retiring as a Captain in 1996.
A true adventurer at heart, Bill earned the
nickname "Action Man" for his love of the outdoors. He embraced every
opportunity for adventure. His larger-than-life personality, infectious sense
of humor, and unwavering kindness made him a beloved figure to all who knew
him. Bill is survived by his devoted wife Laura, his six children and 11
grandchildren.
To fly West Billy is a flight we must all
eventually take. We wish you blue skies and tailwinds on your final flight and
know you will forever be loved.
