Former New Tradition Team Sun City Anthem Candidate Sadly Succumbs to Cancer

Former New Tradition Team Candidate

Bill Odelson

Loses Battle with Cancer

It is with the deepest sadness that we have been informed of the passing of a GOOD MAN...a WONDERFUL MAN...an UNSELFISH MAN, a GIVING MAN...an HONEST MAN, and a true gentleman,  Bill Odelson.

Bill represented The New Tradition Team candidates in the 2019 Sun City Anthem Board of Directors election, and in his relatively short time in Sun City Anthem, "stepped up" for one reason...

...to make Sun City Anthem a better place through his vast years of successful business experience.

He loved playing tennis as a member of the Sun City Anthem Tennis Club, (was great at it), and when not working...yes, he worked full-time while running for a Board position, was also involved with the association Horse Racing Club.

A Drill Sargent training those who would see Viet Nam combat, he was also a member of the Veterans Club.

But Bill was special...and what made him so ....

...he was a "team player"; a man who believed all people had a good side to them, and that kindness and competence went hand in hand.

I got to know Bill fairly well when he decided to run for the Sun City Anthem Board, and always looked at him as the "calming force of reason" when it came to The New Tradition Team.

Those who got to know him realized that there wasn't a selfish bone in his body!

And....those types don't exist very often!

Our condolences go out to his wife, Susan, who supported him in every way.

Bill Odelson will be missed by those who were fortunate to know him.

Sun City Anthem lost a VERY GOOD MAN.

      Dick,
      
      Thank you for posting the lovely tribute to Bill O.
      
      He was, as you said, one of the nicest men I have ever met.
      
      After the election, he never hesitated, even after his learning of his illness, to tell both Karen Hadrick and myself, who ran with him for a board seat, to call on him if we ever needed help with anything.
      
      Dan and I send our heartfelt condolences to his wife Susan.
      
      She too is a warm, lovely lady we are glad to call a friend.
