Obituary of William R. Shields

William (Bill) Shields Greene—William (Bill) Shields, DOD 11/29/2018 Well, she finally did it, stole my sweet William from me. As I watched his chest rise and fall so did my heart. I hate her, her name is CANCER! Robbed our children of their DAD and grands and greats of their Poppy-she was so cruel to do this! Born 9/3/1941 He was so proud of many things-his family, his service in the Marine Corps, his cabin or "shack" as he called it, keeping his lawn groomed to perfection, his career at Raymond Corp. which provided a comfortable life for us, his famous barbecued chicken, his camp on the hill, hunting with his wifey, who was his eyes. Loved his daily scratch offs- win or lose, and his "metropolitan" ice cream. Predeceased by infant son, Hud William, and sisters, Pat and JoEllen. Survived by his wife of 52 years, Rufus; loving children: son, Chad (Lisa), caregivers, daughter, Jennifer (Dennis), his nurse/caregiver who gave him so much comfort; 7 grandkids, 2 adorable great-grandsons, and of course, his lab of 16 years, Marley; sisters, Judy and Janice; brother, Kevin; best buddies: Fred, Barry, Tom, Don and CeCe. Sincere thanks to Dr. Readling and staff, and hospice for their kindness, help and support. Memorial services will be held at 11:00am on Monday, December 10, 2018 at C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, 21 Main St. Sidney, NY 13838. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to Chenango County Hospice, 21 Hayes St. Norwich, NY 13815.
