William Buddenberg
William "Bill" H. Buddenberg, 83, of Little Rock, passed away on Monday, July 13, 2015 after a brief fight with cancer. He was born on August 22, 1932 and lived his whole life as if a celebration; he was a wonderful husband, father and a great friend. He will be greatly missed.
In 1950, he graduated from Little Rock Tech, where he served as senior class president. He went on to serve as a mechanic in the U.S. Air Force, working on the famous B-36 "Flying Fortress" World War II airplanes from 1952 to 1956.
From 1965 to 1969, he worked for Winthrop Rockefeller and was in charge of the print shop. Bill was the founder of B&C Bindery, where he worked and managed from 1969 until his retirement in 1992. Bill spent his whole life enjoying the outdoors and all the state of Arkansas has to offer. He also loved to camp, water ski, ride motorcycles and play golf.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Carol Buddenberg; his sister, Pat Glover; daughter, Autumn Taylor and her husband, Chris; son, Bill Buddenberg, Jr. and his wife, Sheri; grandchildren, Daniel Taylor, Katie Taylor, Jacob Taylor, Ross Buddenberg, Jordan Easley, Leslie Stacy and Alec Buddenberg; and one great-grandchild, Hayden Stacy.
Visitation will be Tuesday, July 14 from 6-8 p.m. at Little Rock Funeral Home, 8801 Knoedl Ct. (NW corner I-630 and Barrow Rd.). A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Father Thomas J. Hart on Wednesday, July 15 at 11:30 a.m. at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church at Marche, followed by interment at Pinecrest Memorial Park in Alexander.
