William John Bloss

William John "Bill" Bloss 80, of West Palm Beach, Florida passed away on July 29, 2025 after a short illness, born on August 31, 1944, in Burghill Ohio to the late William F. Bloss and Mildred Mary Filer Bloss Casey who preceded him in death. 

Bill was a master bricklayer, a dedicated masonry worker building some of the largest skyscrapers along the East Coast during his working years. 

In Bill's retirement days he was a legendary story teller, taking videos of him drinking a cold "Bluegill" his terms for a Bud Light Beer. 

Through Bill's journey in life he found his soulmate Judy Keir who he cherished, and loved deeply. 

Judy came with a ready made family full of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who loved him as much as he loved them. 

Bill never forgot about his family in Ohio as he was making up for lost time getting to know his kids as adults, grandchildren and great grandbaby.

Bills blended family children; his son’s William A. (Georgia) Bloss who preceded him in death, Douglas (Valarie) Bloss Fowler Ohio, Lynnette (Mark) Hart Cortland, Ohio, Lauri (Alan) Torreance Kinsman, Ohio. Mike (Miriam) Ross, James (Kim) Ross, Kellie (Darrin Miller) Ross, Yolanda Ross.

Alongside his siblings - Nancy Leslie, Barbra Lillie, Linda Barefoot, Sue Stewart, Cherry Munnell, Randy Bloss.

His grandchildren all held a special place in his heart, especially Michael who would load him up in his truck and take him to his favorite fishing hole.

Bill couldn't wait for summer time in Ohio, which meant watching Facebook Live videos of grandson running in the demolition derby.

To the protective body guard Donielle who loved Bill deeply.

Bill loved making his famous fresh cut french fries and gator nuggets for the great grandkids who might wonder later in life if that was really chicken. 

His heart filled with love when he would talk about Arianna and her badass karate moves, to shopping on Amazon buying a baby doll that smelt of baby powder for his great granddaughter. 

Bill loved deer hunting, saying "if it's brown it's down". Fishing and gator hunting was his passion. 

He found the simple things in life is what made him the happiest the most, tending to the garden, growing plants of all kinds, and even collecting creepy clowns figures as Judy's family would put it, to teach his pet parrot Caesar how to dance to a Katie Perry song. 

Bill lived simple, loved his family deeply, and always made due with what he had.

He will be dearly missed by friends and family.
