ROCK CREEK — William “Billy” J. Buehner Sr., age 64, of Rock Creek, Ohio, passed away at home, with his family by his side, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010, after a long hard fought battle with illness.

A long time resident of Rock Creek, Bill was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Conflict, where he served 18 months in Vietnam and earned a Bronze Star before being honorably discharged.
He gave close to 30 years of his life working for R. W. Sidley in Thompson, before retiring. Throughout his life, he was an avid volunteer; serving as a Morgan Hose Volunteer Firefighter for over 25 years, on the Morgan Township Zoning Board and working within the community always looking to make things better. Bill was known to have his opinion printed in the Saturday Opine Section of the Star Beacon, which many people enjoyed reading.

(Aimee) Buehner Jr. of Fairfield and Shaun M. (Kathleen) Buehner of Jefferson; four grandchildren, Hailey and Jerrod Burns, Ricky Olmstead and Derek Buehner; three sisters, Elaine (Martin) Sintic of Eastlake, Carol (Leslie) Landis of Eastlake and Linda (Robert) Rhodes of Oklahoma; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; step-father, William Robinson; step-brother, Nelson Robinson; brother, Frank “Butch” Buehner; and sister, Virginia “Tootie” Miller.
