Bill Blight passed away in Cheyenne, Wyoming on the 15th of April. Originally from the Chicago area, he settled in Hardin County, Kentucky where he served at Fort Knox as a Sergeant in the US Army in the 1980’s. It was in Vine Grove, Kentucky that his greatest pleasure was realized with the birth of his son, Zachary in 1982.

Bill never stopped growing and completed his college degree from McKendree College beyond the age of 40. He worked for Transport America, of Clarksville, Indiana for the past 15 years, where he logged in excess of two and a half million miles of freight transport. Although known as a man that could put a point across through his exceptional command of the language, he was thought of more for his genial manner, his generosity and a great affinity for golf.

He was preceded in death by his wife Margaret (Pegg) McCaully Blight in 2006. He is survived by his son, Zachary, his wife Sara and two grandchildren, Kailey Elizabeth, and Morgan Nicole. He is also survived by sisters Patricia Shoua of Ft. Lauderdale Florida, Kathleen Gates of Cheyenne, Wyoming, as well as brothers Gerald Blight of Lombard, Illinois and John Blight of Salt Lake City, Utah. Services are scheduled out west, but the family requests donations to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
