A graduate of Alvin High School, Rice University, and Texas A&M University, John Bill brought joy to all who knew him. He was known to approach life with humor and a positive outlook. John Bill was a retired Celanese chemical engineer, active in the church and in the Gideons for many years. He avidly loved being an amateur HAM radio operator, flying, singing in the church choir, teaching Sunday School, serving as Boy Scout Leader, exploring, spending time with his family, and meeting new people.
John Bill is survived by his wife of 42 years Alva Sue Mannering Dorsey; son Byrom and wife Megan, daughter Dawn and husband Dennis, son John and wife Nell; and four grandchildren Margaret, Jakob, Lanie, and Thomas.
