He was also a great lover of music and played for many years with his band, Exit 72. For the past six years, Bill resided in Ft.

Predeceased by his parents Maureen & Joseph Thaller and his brother Joseph Thaller.
In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to “Friends of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park”.
RIP Old friend.
He was a friendly face at the ranger station and was a wonderful Santa Claus at our December 2018 Seashells and Santa event. He made the children feel so comfortable and he was so kind to each child. We send our sympathy to his family. Thank you for designating the Friends (non profit) organization for donations in lieu of flowers. He would love it, I believe. Bill was always supportive of our efforts.
It was where you could always find Bob on a Sunday night jamming with him.
Prayers for the family and friends
Sincerely,
Mary Elizabeth (Walker) DiPietro
