William “Bill” McMullin
Bill McMullin, age 94, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026. He was born on July 2, 1931, to Claira and Buford McMullin.
Bill graduated from Logan High School in 1949 and proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. At the age of 13, following the passing of his mother, he was lovingly raised by Vilas (“Chino”) and Avis Zimmer.
Bill dedicated 25 years of his career to CenturyTel. His strong work ethic began early, with his first job at the Flor Shop, where he installed carpet and tile.
On June 10, 1967, Bill married the love of his life, Nancy Neumeister. Together they built a life rooted in family, dedication, and community. Bill was a lifetime member of American Legion Post 52 in La Crosse. He also had a love and flair for ballroom dancing, a passion that brought him joy and was admired by all who watched him glide across the dance floor.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Buford and Claira McMullin; his brother, Ronald McMullin; Vilas (“Chino”) and Avis Zimmer; nephews Scott and Barry McMullin; and his in-laws, Frank and Edith Neumeister, Lois Kremer, and Robert Neumeister.

Bill was a wonderful kind sole. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy, his entire family and many friends.
I will remember how welcoming he was to my sisters and me when we would visit them with my mom. He always asked about school, golf and life with genuine interest and made us feel at home there. We will all remember him lovingly with smiles in our hearts and strive to be as kind, patient and classy as he was.
So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We are sending our thoughts and prayers to Nancy and family. We are unable to travel right now because of my recent knee replacement but our hearts are with everyone. Love Sam & Julie

Our condolences to Nancy. We will always remember Bill thru hunting and visiting with Tony and Bob and family. May he rest in peace.
Dear Nancy,
I am so sorry. I enjoyed Bill’s company at Erik and Seda’s wedding. He was having such a good time. I am sorry I wasn’t able to attend the funeral due to illness. I told Sal I’m inviting myself to your next ladies luncheon.
Sending a hug!
