Bill was born in the Riverside district of Buffalo , N.Y. on April 9, 1938. He was the youngest son of Norvyn and Mildred Souter. brother of Norvyn Jr, Paul, Mildred and Pauline Souter. After graduating from Riverside High School, he joined the U. S.Marine Corp. Upon discharge, he gained employment with the Western Electric Company, which subsequently became AT&T then Lucent Technology, as a production worker, who remained loyal to the same company for over 40 plus years. Bill was dedicated to his job in order to support his family consisting of his loyal wife Mary (Galluccio ); eldest son William; middle son, John; and only daughter Sandra. He is also survived by his grandchildren; Nicholas, Mckenzie, Mary, Johnny, Vincent and John Jr.
Bill and his family relocated from Buffalo to Georgia in 1976 when the New York Western Electric plant shut down. He maintained many cherished friendships from Buffalo while creating new ones in the Atlanta area. Most people will admit this with Bill that he was a loyal friend who let one know exactly where he stood.
He fought cancer in the last year of his life with courage, bravery and dignity. He did not want any of his loved ones distressed over his condition. He was an old school hardworking New York Yankees and Buffalo Bills fan that refused to take a nickel that he didn’t earn and will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends. Bill had an uncanny sense of humor.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his honor to Saint Jude.
