He was active in the Boy Scouts of America and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Pierce attended Ferrum College and VA Tech. He spent his career as a Real Estate Broker and Instructor. He was cofounder and owner of Old Mill Real Estate Company in Richmond. Real Estate was the perfect career for P.B. as it gave him the means to take care of his family and the flexibility to slip away when the fish were biting. Joan and P.B. were happiest surrounded by family and friends and never missed an opportunity to cook for others or to host a party. P.B. loved fishing, telling fishing stories, Hokie sports and playing cards. Joan enjoyed playing tennis, walking the beach, and telling P.B. how to play cards. More than anything in life they treasured time spent with their daughters and six grandchildren. They are survived by Mrs. Latimer's sister, Catherine Bennett of McLean, Va.; daughter, Christy Sandy and husband Steve of Raleigh, N.C.; daughter Julie Latimer of Raleigh, N.C.; and many dear cousins, nieces and nephews. "Ya-Ya" and "Pops" will be greatly missed by their six grandchildren, Mallie Quin, Pierce Thomas, William Maurice, Grace Kendrick, Nolen Bennett and Megan DeLay. Joan and P.B. loved animals and had a special place in their hearts for the underdogs in our world. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Southside SPCA, P.O.

In a denim vest decked with badges thick as chainmail, William W. (Wild Bill) Morton, 63, of Salem, Va., would ride his Harley "Hog" to biker rallies all over the East Coast. A Life Member of the Harley Owners' Group, sometime Road Captain, and parade organizer, Bill hit some speed bumps. With taste for the best and flashiest, he took bankruptcy like a divot in the road and revved on to become a Vintage VW bus fan. In declining health, standing 5'5" and almost that big around, Bill featured a goatee and was renamed "The Troll." An icon at gatherings of the Full Moon Bus Club, he would work the crowd with a roll of raffle tickets for good causes and terrify his friends by racing golf carts through parks at breakneck speeds paying attention to whatever took his notice on the way. Unless there was child with him: then he was careful. "'Kind-hearted' is the word for Bill," said friend Mark Dearing, who kept both Bill and Bill's 1985 VW van in working order. "And 'Different.' That was Bill, he was just different." Third son of a stock broker and a fashion consultant, graduate of the private Blue Ridge School, a four-year Air Force veteran and, until retired on disability, a N&W Railway dispatcher, William Weaver Morton careered through life making friends. "He was the king of unsolicited advice, and a treasure trove of obscure and needed knowledge on every subject under the sun. Whoever he was talking to was the most important person talking about the most important subject in the world," remembers his Salem friend, Sandra Dearing of the Full Moon Bus Club. "Bill knew the sushi chef at Ukrops, the flower chick at Fresh Market. He knew the Corvette owner at the local car show." And recently as family planned Bill's final journey, the funeral director looked at his ID and said, "Oh, I know him. He used to ride a Harley." The life journey that began in Front Royal in 1945 ended at the Salem VA Medical Center February 14, 2009. Bill left a brother, George (Tim) Morton of Norfolk; two nieces, Anne and Eleanor Morton; a nephew, John Henry Morton; hundreds of friends; several bill collectors; 93 Harley t-shirts; and a huge telescope for studying the night sky. The Full Moon Bus Club is planning a memorial ceremony. Donations in honor of Bill Morton can be made to causes Bill cared for: the Full Moon Bus Club, Ronald McDonald House, Blue Ridge School, or WVTF Public Radio., Charities |
