William Thomas Alexander
March 3, 1943 – January 23, 2021
William (Bill) Thomas Alexander unexpectedly entered to rest surrounded by his children on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. He was age 77, and a 41-year resident of Clayton, Ohio. He was born on March 3, 1943 in Manhattan/ New York City to William E. Alexander and Irene (Holowack) Alexander. As a child he enjoyed playing stickball in the city and loved to help at his mother's delicatessen. He attended George Washington High School in Manhattan. He retired from GMAC/EDS and enjoyed traveling across the United States. Bill filled his time with his post retirement hobby of selling collectibles at Traders World, where he had many loyal customers and friends. He was very proud of his honorable and faithful service to US Army, where he was a medic. During his service he was stationed in Germany, and earned the Army Expert Marksmanship badge. Bill was a warm and lovable person, who never knew a stranger. He loved people and sharing stories with them. He had many hobbies and passions that kept him busy. Some of his favorite talents include woodworking and gardening, which has been passed on to his daughter. Like his mother, he loved to cook, especially for family and his friends at Traders World. He enjoyed traveling, driving himself hours to visit family and friends, and stopping at shops along the way to get all the foods and collectibles he could not get at home. He enjoyed casinos, playing all types of games which he shared with his son.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents: William E. Alexander and Irene (Holowack); his brother Edward A. Alexander; and his loving wife of 11 years, Judith Alexander, whom he adored and dearly missed. Bill is survived by his son William Daniel Alexander and his wife Stevani, and their son William Douglas Alexander, of Centerville, OH; and Michelle Alexander and her husband Garry Knight, of Centerville, OH; his stepchildren: Laura Sowers and her husband Mark, and their children Jacob and Olivia, of OH; and Keith Martin and his son Aston Martin, of Centerville, OH; his sister in law Norma ; his nieces and nephews: Mary Beth Sayles of Matamoras, PA; Edward A. Alexander of Cornwall, NY; Barbara Gravel of Newburgh, his niece and nephew: Cynthia DiBlasi of Newburgh, NY; and Joseph DiBlasi of Newburg, NY; as well as many extended family members, great nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
Memorial Service will be announced at a future date.
