William “Bill” Ferris’ Obituary Found

I received a research inquiry from 1970’s-era West High alum Jim Owen, who stated that he was a neighbor of classmate “Bill” Ferris. He had visited our website and noticed that we did not have any obituary information about BIll’s death. Jim sent me the following obituary copies. Note that second copy does not have the page 2 continuation, but still offers meaningful information. Thanks to Jim for helping to keep our class informed! ChuckR
