William Henry Redman

<p>William Henry Redman, 73, of Boyne City, passed away Thursday, July 2, 2020 at home surrounded by loved ones after a courageous battle with cancer.</p> <p>Bill was born in 1947 to Harry Maxwell Redman and Anna (Tague) Redman Gault and graduated from Ithaca High School in 1965. Bill and his young family settled in Boyne City in 1972 where he in 1977 he started a successful drywall company, Redman Enterprise, which he built on his core values of quality and integrity and remained deeply committed to until his final days. Bill always had a good story for any occasion and enjoyed sharing them everyone, making new friends along the way. &nbsp;Bill demonstrated how much he cared about people through his quiet and even surreptitious generosity. He relaxed by working on the lawn, spending the day in the car tracking down and negotiating a hot deal on a new toy, and found peace on the water both here in Michigan and in sunny Florida. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Bill is survived by his special honey and life partner Linda Dean, children Ben (Alejandro) and Nick (Julie), his beloved grandchildren TJ (Jessica), Jay and Corey, great-grandson Trent, siblings Linda, John, Tom, Allen, Bob and Tina, and by the mother of his children, Sandra Kay (Zimmerman) Argue. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Sherrie.</p> <p>A celebration of Bill&rsquo;s life will be held at the Redman Ranch on Saturday, July 11 from 4-7pm &ndash; all are welcome, bring your stories! Due to the current health concerns regarding Covid-19 please wear a mask and practice social distancing when arriving for the celebration.</p>

I had the privilege of listening to some of his stories.  So witty, caring, forthright and no BS.  He was a gem to know and he will certainly be missed.  God bless you Bill and family.
