William “Bill” Joseph Hueser was born on Oct. 13, 1932, in Marcus to Benjamin J. and Mildred C. (Pitts) Hueser. He attended a country school until he moved to a farm near Quimby. Bill graduated from Quimby in 1950 and worked for several years. He then attended and graduated from Wayne State College in Wayne, Neb.
Bill and Roberta Jean Wheeler of Cherokee were married on June 1, 1956, and made their home in George where he taught business education for 38 years. Bill earned his master’s degree from Colorado State College in Greeley, Colo. To this day, former students fondly remember Mr. Hueser for his warmth, sense of humor, high expectations and unwavering belief in their abilities.
Bill refereed high school basketball for many years, including state tournament games. He was inducted into the IHSAA Officials Hall of Fame in 2006.
Bill was active in his community, and he and Roberta volunteered their time and talents. He had a special bond with many of his fellow high school teachers. He spent hours at the Otter Valley Country Club playing golf and enjoyed yearly fishing trips to Canada with family and friends. He and Roberta traveled and camped with their children, creating many memorable experiences.
Bill was a member of the Methodist Church in George until it closed, and then attended the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, where he enjoyed teaching Sunday School.
