William Middleton passed away on September 1, 2013 in Louisville with his loving wife at his side.
Bill was born in Peekskill, NY to Mary and Howard Middleton on August 16, 1933. He was the youngest of five children all of whom have preceded him in death. Bill entered the US Navy in 1951 right after graduating from high school and served aboard the USS Virgo; an ammunition ship in the Korean War for four tours. He was a radar man 3rd class. He married Elaine Scalzo on August 28, 1954 and they had two sons; Kevin and Patrick. He worked at IBM for 35 years and then returned from retirement in 1990 to work part-time. He enjoyed Senior Softball for ten years. But, mostly liked hiking with his buddies. He climbed many fourteeners and thirteeners and could be found hiking the Front Range.
They moved to Boulder in 1966 and became avid Colorado football fans. Bill was an active member of the Serra Club serving as President and was the chairman of the annual golf tournament for many years.
Bill is survived by his wife Elaine, son Kevin and three grandchildren: Cale, Jake and Vladimir.
Bill was a loving husband, caring father, and devoted grandfather. His sense of humor will never be forgotten among his family and friends. Bill will be missed very much by all who loved him.
In lieu of flowers the Middleton’s ask that donations be made to Bill’s favorite charity:
Serra Club: your gift will insure that Serra International is able to maintain their shared mission and ministry to foster and affirm vocations to the ordained priesthood and vowed religious life.
