He was preceded in death by his mother Eva Iddings Cody and wife Ellen Rogers Iddings. Bill never met a stranger, and truly loved people, especially his family, his golfing buddies and his church, Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church of Greensboro. Bill took pride in his work and was respected by all as a manager at Sears and Roebuck on Lawndale Drive for over 30 years. He was even more proud of his family. He never missed one of his sons' or grandchildren's sporting events, dance recitals or school ceremonies, and treasured the opportunity to spend time with his family. In his youth, Bill was an all-state football and baseball player, a bit of a local sports legend in southwestern West Virginia. He was an avid golfer for most of his life, having shot his age and made a hole in one when he was in his 70s. He served in the army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged. He was an eternal optimist, and his love and presence will truly be missed by Mike, Kevin, Jeff and their families and friends.
