Attorney William B. "Bill" Shetler, age 71, of North Canton, passed peacefully in his sleep on June 30, 2020. Bill was born October 24, 1948 in Alliance, Ohio, where he lived for most of his life. He is survived by his children William C. Shetler of Los Angeles, Bruce M. (Ayla) Shetler of Los Angeles and Jessica (Nate) Jones of Cleveland, along with his sisters, Deborah (Don) Bester and Denise Hall (Robert Ledger); and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Mearll and Leona "Lee" (nee' Zelinksy) Shetler. Bill graduated from Alliance High School in 1966, from Kent State University in 1970 with a Bachlor's of Business Degree in Administration, and received his Juris Doctor Degree in 1973 from the Cleveland Marshall College of Law. A successful practicing attorney in the Alliance, Ohio area for 47 years, his law practice was one of the great joys of his life, as he strove to live a life of service to his clients and the community. He served as Clerk to the Alliance City Council, was an acting Alliance Municipal Court Judge, and taught law at Mt. Union College for over a decade. He was an avid history buff, particularly with regard to World War Il, when his father served in the military on Iwo Jima, of which he was very proud. Bill also enjoyed singing and playing folk music on the guitar, and spending time with family and friends, especially his nieces and nephews. In earlier days, he was an accomplished athlete and carried with him a love of all sports throughout his life. Most important in his life were his three children who were much loved by him, and his strong Catholic faith. He was a member of Regina Coeli Catholic Church. The many friends who knew and loved "Billy" will never forget his signature smile. A private memorial service will be held at Sharer-Stirling-Skivolocke Funeral Home. You are invited to view Bill's tribute wall, offer condolences and share memories at www.sharerfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are by the Sharer-Stirling-Skivolocke Funeral Home.
