William Sherrod Dilworth ’32

BILL DILWORTH DIED of lung cancer Oct. 3,1990. This sad news came to us only recently from his son Robert.

Bill spent much of his life in merchandising. He started as a stock boy at Macy's, living the life of Riley, as he wrote in our 50th yearbook, on $23 a week. He later got a job with Montgomery Ward and stayed there until his retirement in 1975. During WWII he served in the Navy as a supply officer with the Air Wing. Those of us with long memories of that war will remember the P.B.Y. flying boats for which he was responsible. He was discharged a It. commander. He married Elise Von Sigel, the mother of his two sons, in 1937, but was divorced in 1963. Two years later, during a sevenyear stint as a buyer for Ward's in Japan, he met and married Shizue Kaneko. When he finally hung up his shingle in Chicago, he was the manager of Montgomery Ward Intl. on retirement he and Shizue moved to mountain Home, Ark., where they lived quietly and happily until shortly before his death. Shizue outlived him by only three weeks. Surviving are his two boys, Robert and James, two grandsons, and three granddaughters. we send our sincerest condolences to them.
