Bill Lammers, a veteran of the news desk, was a good guy. His knowledge of music, pens, Fiesta, and technology was extra ordinary. His PD friends will miss him. There were no public services but an outpouring of eulogies on Facebook.
From the Sandusky Register:
Walter William “Bill” Lammers, 60, of Olmsted Falls, Ohio, died Friday, Aug. 4, 2017, surrounded by his family at the end of a brave fight against cancer.
Bill was a devoted husband and father. The joys of his life were his wife Nancy, daughters Sarah and Christina, and being “Paw Paw” to Logan and Austin.
Bill was a devoted husband and father. The joys of his life were his wife Nancy, daughters Sarah and Christina, and being “Paw Paw” to Logan and Austin.
He is survived by Nancy; daughters, Sarah (Umberto) Barbera of Mentor, Ohio, and Christina Curley (fiancé David Beers) of Athens, Ohio; two grandchildren, Logan and Austin; brothers, Guy (Linda) Lammers of Maumee, Ohio, John (Cindy) Lammers of Baldwinsville, N.Y., and Pete (Sueann) Lammers of Danbury; as well as nephew, Kirk Lammers of Westlake, Ohio; and nieces, Jackie (Nick) Savage of Delta, Ohio, and Kaylee and Lauren Lammers of Baldwinsville.
Bill was the son of Walter R. “Sonny” and Joyce Lammers, of Danbury, who preceded him in death.
He graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1978, and spent a career in the newspaper business, first as a reporter and then as an editor.
At a series of newspapers Bill earned a reputation as a smart, creative, fast, reliable editor with a low tolerance for nonsense. At the time of his death he was an editor at The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, where he edited stories, designed pages, and wrote about music and technology for nearly 30 years.
Bill had a curious mind with a passion for movies, history, cooking, technology and, especially, music.
Private services were held.
If desired, memorials for Bill can be made to Ames Family Hospice House in Westlake, Ohio, or an organization of the donor’s choice.
