William (Bill)

Hellmund

William (Bill) Hellmund, 79 years old of Cincinnati, passed away peacefully Monday, May 25. Married 59 years, Diana and Bill met at the Mills Restaurant where she was a pie cutter and he was in charge of the soup. They lived in Walnut Hills and eventually moved to Colerain. Bill learned how to cook while working at the Vernon Manor and later worked in the kitchen at the Cincinnati Club. When the hours got to be too overwhelming as a chef and a father, he learned how to weld and worked at The Milling Machine. Bill had great work ethic and was always busy doing something, making sure he provided for his family. He was the kind of guy that didn't sugar coat anything and told you exactly how it was. He loved music, especially Elvis, Johnny Cash and classic rock n roll. He also loved reading; murder mysteries were his favorite and anything by Stephen King. He would gobble up anything Diana made for him and couldn't go a day without his coffee. His Cockapoo dog, Buddy, was appropriately named as they were best friends and Buddy followed him everywhere he went.

Bill will be greatly missed by his wife, Diana, and their children Daniel Hellmund, Michele (John) Lacinak, Tina Marie Hellmund, and Heidi Hellmund; his grandchildren Nicholas & Andrew Lacinak, Amber Brand, and Ashly Lewis; his great grandchildren Nolan, Ava, and Evan; his sister Barbara Horan of Osgood, IN and John Hellmund of Topeka, KS.
