William “Bill” Carl Totterdale was born on February 20, 1947, in Warren, Ohio, and passed unexpectedly on June 11, 2021, at home in Seattle, Washington.

Bill served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War as an aircraft fuel systems specialist. He loved golfing, sharing colorful life experiences, watching Ohio State football, eating good sushi, working at the Home Depot, and spending time with his friends and family.

He is survived by his three children, their spouses, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, many other family members, and friends he met along the way.

He will be missed.

“If Christ lives in you, though your body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.”
