William "Bill" Leslie Pack, Jr., 58, of Robinson, passed away on Monday, November 10, 2014, at his home, after a short but fierce battle with lung cancer. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, November 12, at Lake Shore Funeral Home, in Waco. A celebration of life will be at 3 p.m., Thursday, November 13, at Lake Shore Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Micheal Moore officiating. There will be a graveside burial in Robinson Cemetery.
Bill was born in Waco, Texas, to William Leslie Pack, Sr. and Joyce Laverne Cantrell Pack. Bill grew up in China Spring and the area remained close to his heart. He married Vickie Dodd, in April 1985. He was a graduate of China Spring High School, McLennan Community College, and Masters International University. He worked in the radio industry under the name Les Parker for three decades. Listeners around Central Texas were both entertained and comforted by his booming voice and on-air presence. For the past few years, he joyfully served the parishioners of Downsville Baptist Church as their minister and as Chaplain for the Downsville Volunteer Fire Department. A man of many talents, he pursued gardening, photography, history, and running with equal zest. Bill was the kind of person that made lifelong friends waiting in line at the grocery store.
Bill was preceded in death by his father, William L. Pack Sr.; mother and father-in-law, Jimmie and Patricia Dodd; and nephew, Jeffrey Jones.
Survivors include his wife, Vickie, of Robinson; son, Geoffrey Pack and his fiancée, Jessica Bell, of Dallas; daughter, Erin Pack-Jordan and her husband, Jason Jordan, of Salt Lake City, Utah; mother, Joyce Pack, of China Spring; sisters, Tommie Pack, of China Spring, and June Ward and her husband, Eddie, of Chalk Bluff; sister-in-law, Tracie Dodd and her husband, Bill Hayes, of Speegleville; many wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins, and relatives; his beloved dog, Daphne; and too many friends to count.
