William Raymond McCrea
June 11th, 1944 - April 26th, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our devoted husband and father on Saturday, April 26, 2025. He was 80 years old and had been married for over 59 years. Bill was the beloved husband of Jilynn (Jill), and the loving father of 3 daughters Kim McCrea, Laurie (John) Hillen, and Jennifer (Jeffrey) Hawk.
He was the proud grandfather of 8 grandchildren, two step grandsons and 4 cherished great grandchildren and a father figure to his brother-in-law Kevin Smith. Bill was a pillar of strength for his entire family and a guiding light to all who knew him.
At the age of 18 he enlisted in the US Navy serving his country with pride and honor during the Vietnam War. He held his military service close to his heart and carried discipline, courage, and resilience from those years throughout his life.
After his honorable service, Bill went on to earn a degree in Computer Science and spent his 50 year career working in some way or another for the United States Defense Department.
