William E. "Bill" Beltz, 79 of Bellefontaine, left his earthly body Sunday morning, November 24, 2019 at Logan Acres and met his Lord and Savior face to face after a long 15 years of battle with cancer.

He was born June 8, 1940 in Kenton to the late William I. and Marcena (Armentrout) Beltz. On April 17, 1960 in Bellefontaine he married Sharon K. Parker and they were married for 59 years, she survives.

Bill graduated from Zanesfield Monroe in 1958. He was known for his quick wit and corny jokes. Bill loved his family, prayed for them faithfully and always said that God had truly blessed him.

Bill wore many hats in his lifetime: he worked in retail for many years at Montgomery Ward, Bush Electric, Beltz TV & Appliances. He was involved in his daughters' PTA's throughout elementary school and middle school, he was on the Board of Public Affairs in Russells Point, a police officer in Lakeview for 13 years. He and his wife were distributors for Original Lincoln Logs. Bill also built and designed his own log home with the help of family and friends. He retired from TRC in 2003 as a purchasing agent.

Bill loved his Savior. Bill gave his heart to Him on February 21, 1972. He served Him faithfully over the years as a Deacon, youth leader, Awana Commander, Sunday School Teacher and Superintendent at Calvary Baptist Church. He faithfully memorized scripture for many years and God used it mightily in his later years. He was a man of prayer and faithful witness for our Lord.

Bill will be greatly missed by his family and friends. We are thankful for God's promise that we will spend eternity together.

We want to personally thank Interim Hospice Care and especially the staff at Logan Acres and the loving care that he received there over many months.
