William Floyd Agee ’48

Body

Bill Agee died at home in Huntington, W.Va., Oct. 10, 1996, after a long bout with cancer.

A lifelong resident of Huntington, Bill joined us by way of Kentucky Military Institute. At Princeton he majored in English and was active in the Westminster Group, Orange Key, and the Athletic Council. He was in Quadrangle. After graduation he headed for the back woods of Kentucky and the lumber business. This caper was ended by the Korean War and the Air Force. It was at this time he met Pat Parker; they were married in 1953 and were blessed with four daughters.

Bill returned to Huntington in the real estate business and later after the Banking School at Northwestern at Bank One. He retired in 1992 as senior v.p. and trust officer.

Bill was an elder and trustee of the First Presbyterian Church. All his life he was active in civic affairs. He served as president of the Huntington Museum of Art, the Marshall U. Foundation and the YMCA. His board membership, both business and charitable, were extensive.

The great love of Bill's life was Pat and daughters Anne, Susan, Tricia, and Amy. To them the class offers its deepest sympathy and shares in their loss. Bill is survived as well by his brother Robert '51.
