Bill Coons passed away on March 4, 2022 after battling a long illness. He was a soft-hearted man with a gift of encouragement.
Bill was born on October 19, 1939 to the late Doris and Carroll Coons. His siter Carol Ann also preceded him in death.
In addition to his wife Kathy, he is survived by his children Eric (Jean) Coons, Jeff (Debbie) Coons, Pam (Shawn) Clark, and step-son Kenneth Neese. He also has 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Bill worked many years as a Mechanical Engineer in Western NY. Upon retiring, he moved to TN where he was able to enjoy his days working in his workshop creating unique pieces to sell at craft shows. He loved playing his banjo, especially when praising the Lord. Bill also loved helping people with their computer issues. He will be greatly missed by all his friends and family.
Bill was one of the most talented and delightful man I met while we lived in Fairfield Glade. RIP. Judy Salo Passmore
What a special man he was, and we were honored to know him. His sweet smile and gentle spirit will remain in our memories of Bill. May he play his banjo now, for Jesus and the heavenly choir.

Thank you Scott. Bill loved getting in that group. I think he was in there almost every day. Now I have the challenge of cleaning out the workshop that he loved so much.
Bill “GladeFade” will be missed on the ScrollSawer forum. He was an inspiration and educator sharing ideas. Our condolences to his family and friends, from his fellow woodwoorkers.
Thank you Linda. He loved sharing with all of you and your ideas.
