July 7, 1942 - May 20, 2025
On May 20, 2025, William C Flippo, also known as Bill to all his friends and family, went to sleep in the arms of our savior.
Bill was born on July 7, 1942 in Whitesboro, TX to JC and Nellie Flippo. He was joined later by a brother Donald and sister tiny Mary who both preceded him in death, along with his parents.
Bill is survived by his wife Betty, his sons David and Alan, stepson Danny and stepdaughters LaVonda and Donna, his brother-in-law Richard (Mary’s husband), many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In 1961, Bill joined the Air Force to serve his country and that is where he picked up his love of flying.
In 1964 after his military training, he joined the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, where he retired after 22 years.
Bill had many things he liked to do such as meeting with friends, driving in the mountains, looking at the scenery and of course checking out airplanes, whether in the sky or on the ground.
Bill will surely be missed but not forgotten. He had a heart of gold and was willing to help anyone that needed help.
For those who want to help celebrate his life we will have a celebration of life for him soon. As we get more information, we will be announcing it later.
Bill is being taken care of by the Neptune Society and Smith Family Funeral Home in Fallon.
