[NFBF-L] Passing of Bill Outman

[kdavisnfbf at cfl.rr.com]

Hi Brian, 

I was so sad to hear of Bill's passing when I received your phone call. I
have so many fond memories of Bill over the years. Bill experienced some
tough challenges, but he was so bright and gifted especially writing. Bill
was the secretary for the Greater Daytona Beach Chapter for years and his
minutes were always superb. Bill also was active in various aspects of the
Federation as well as the Conklin Davis Center. I will miss this special
man! Bill had great faith and love for God. I know he is with our Lord and
savior and without question, Bill's spirit is in a place where he will be
free from earthly challenges and now will know only perfect peace and love
beyond measure. 

 

God bless you Bill for touching my life as well as so many others! 

 

Kathy Davis

Subject: Passing of Bill Outman 

 

Our wonderful friend William "BILL "Hall Outman died this afternoon on
Friday May 9 2025 in Halifax Medical and Health Center Daytona Beach of
residual physical effects from a stroke this past week. 

When Bill was taken off life supports, Bill's brother Wayne and sister Lora,
his friend and stepfather Brian Norton, numerous Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins
were present in his hospital room praying with his Pastor David Troxler of
First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ Daytona.

 

Bill was 60 years old, and has been an actively involved member of the
National Federation of the Blind of Florida for the past 30 years. 

Bill had been an amazing Secretary for his NFBF Greater Daytona Beach
Chapter for  numerous years, and his interesting and detailed minutes were
often better than the collective memories of those participants attending.
Bill was a unique and talented writer and a perfectionist on the savant
autism scale.

Bill had a love of baseball, and could recite from memory the baseball
players names and statistics for baseball history going back during the last
100 years.

Bill was extremely well informed about politics and legislation, and was an
active member of the NFBF legislative committee, and the Florida Democrat
Disability caucus.

Bill was a graduate of the St. Augustine Florida School for the Blind, and a
schoolmate of Peggy Fleischer. Bill has been a client and student for the
past several years at the Conklin Davis Center for the Visually Impaired,
and a ceremony at the Conklin Davis Center will be held for Bill Outman on
Tuesday May 13, 2025 at 2:30 p.m.

We will send out a Flyer describing this event for Bill in a subsequent
notice.

 

Please keep Bill and his family in your prayers, 

Brian Edward Norton
