William Couch Jr.

William "Bill" Couch Jr., of Dayton, Ohio, was born on April 22, 1929. He passed away at age 89 on May 22, 2018.   Bill was a life long employee of the Dayton Daily News.  He is survived by his beloved wife of 68+ years, Nancy, his sons, Ron and Mark Couch; daughters, Joann Erickson and Norma Blanchard; grandchildren, Stephanie Washburn, Niki Oiler, Melanie Elkins, Jamie Barger, and Kyle Couch, thirteen great-grandchildren, and one great great grandson.  William was one of the purest and kindest souls.  Everyone could see how much he loved his family and that they were who he lived for. We will all remember the wonderful times we were privileged enough to share with him for he was only here with God’s grace until God needed his angel back home.  Bill, you live within us all and we will always remember you and what you stood for. You may have left this earth, but you will never leave our hearts.

Friends and family are welcome to attend the graveside service on Friday, May 25 at 1:30 p.m at Arlington Cemetery in Brookville.
