Bill's Obituary from the Chattanooga paper.
Hartzman, William L.
Saturday, January 30, 2016
William L. Hartzman died peacefully at a Chattanooga hospice facility on January 26, 2016.
Born March 15, 1939, in Baltimore, he was the only child of William Arthur and Alfrida Small Hartzman.
He was preceded by his wives, Kathye Gwin, Helen Wild and Diane Swearingen; survived by Diane’s daughters, Julie and Jennifer, and their families.
An Army veteran, Bill received his Masters of Education degree from the University of Virginia and taught math, which brought him to Pine Breeze School in Chattanooga. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church. He worked for Volunteer Life and LBJ Advertising. His advertising career led him to Memphis, Pensacola, Birmingham and finally to Augusta, where he helped form HMS Advertising, Inc., and resided for nearly 28 years. He also worked in real estate, made it his business to care for animals, and rescued numerous greyhounds.
An experienced sailor with a US Coast Guard offshore license, he dearly loved years spent in the British Virgin Islands. He will be missed by many friends from high school in Petersburg, VA, from the BVIs, and Cabela’s Augusta where he last worked.
He returned to Chattanooga for hospice care and to be buried with Helen at National Cemetery. A committal service on Thursday, Feb. 18, at 2 p.m. will be officiated by Reverend Derrick Hill at Chattanooga National Cemetery.
Special thanks to friends Phillip Hutto and Jean Massengale for his care. Memorial donations may be sent to visar.org or greyhound rescue.
