William Arthur Shiffermiller

I have known Laura (my sorority sister) and Bill since 1969. I knew when I met Bill they would be a great couple. Over the years, we would run into each other at parties and soccer games and I always left laughing and inspired. It was a tremendous relief for our family to have Dr. Bill for my very senior parents for the last 15 years of their lives. Dr. Bill is my all time favorite Dr. and one of the best men I have ever known. He was inspiring in every way and devoted to Laura and their children. My condolences, Laura and may the memories of a life well lived with Bill bring you comfort.

I have known Bill since grade school. He was a couple of years younger than I. We played sports together and were in the same church youth group. When he came to college he became a fraternity brother of mine. That was when we got a lot closer. When he met and fell in love with Laura his smile got a little bigger. I was fortunate enough to attend their wedding. The memories keep coming back to me every day. He was a great man, friend and doctor. His smile was infectious. My thoughts are with his family and the multitude of friends.

Bill was a superb athlete, a voracious reader, a medical expert, a trusted leader, a family man, a charming wit, a fearless fighter against his cancer, a champion of hospital quality, and a friend to countless people. But what I will remember most is his kindness and compassion. I was so blessed to have him as my physician and friend. We have truly lost a beautiful soul.
