William “Bill” Earl Gillock, 76 years of age and a resident of Marthaville, passed away on Thursday, June 20, 2019, he and Emily’s 33rd Wedding Anniversary. He was born on September 17, 1942, to Chester Earl Gillock and Gertrude Logsdon Gillock in Hardin County Kentucky. Bill retired with 30 years in the United States Air Force as an Air Force Chief during the Vietnam War, as well as touring many countries throughout his military career. He proudly served his country and was extremely honored to be a veteran.  After being honorably discharged, he became an avid golfer, he truly had a passion for golf, no matter the circumstances, and he’s been known to brave the weather, once he even had to wait for the course to unfreeze before he was able to play. He loved hunting and fishing, but most of all he loved spending time with his family. He will be dearly missed.
