Citadel Alumni Deaths

William H. Poston, 87, left our sight but not our hearts on November 8,
2009. Bill was born on January 14, 1922 in Lafayette, Indiana. He
graduated from The Citadel in 1943 and was called to active duty in the
U.S. Infantry and Air Force in 1943. After his honorable discharge he
became the plant superintendent of Poston-Herron Brick Co., in Attica,
Indiana, until 1960. He then moved to Tucson, Ariz., where he began a
successful career with National Life of Vermont in 1961. He loved his
family and friends dearly and shared his zeal for life, good music,
golf, astronomy, Shakespeare, camping and travel with his family and
friends. He was truly a renaissance man and inspired us with his quest
for knowledge and his loving and sweet, light-hearted ways. He is
survived by his wonderful wife Carolyn, who he adored; stepchildren,
David (Virg) Diebold and Karen (Chip) Fouquet; granddaughters, Erika and
Laura Diebold; niece, Dolly Poston Zollars; and many extended family and
friends. Memorial service will be 11 a.m. Sunday, November 15, 2009, at
EVERGREEN MORTUARY. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial
contribution to one of these organizations that were so very helpful to
Bill during his illness: American Diabetes Association; Sarver Heart
Center or to Peppie’s House. Arrangements by EVERGREEN MORTUARY &
CEMETERY, Tucson, Ariz.
