Bill was born in Marion County on August 24, 1925. He was the son of Whiteford and Flossie Coleman Dozier. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Nancy Dimmig Dozier and his children, William B. Dozier, Jr., of Marion, Carolyn J. Dozier of Annadale, VA., Elizabeth A. McCollom and husband, Jim, of Charlotte, NC; his grandchildren, Emily Dozier, Bryan Dozier, Caroline McCollom; and his sisters, Dot McIntyre and Shan Williams, both of Marion; and by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents, his son, John W. Dozier, and by his siblings, Lib Shelley, Ted Dozier, Edgar Dozier, Carlisle Dozier and Bobby Dozier. Bill graduated from Centenary High School in 1942, and after attending Clemson University for one year, transferred to the University of South Carolina to complete the V-12 Naval Officer Training Program. Bill was a WW II veteran, U.S. Navy, serving in the Pacific with the 58th Sea Bee Battalion. After his military service, he completed his degree in civil engineering from USC. Bill then worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville. In 1947 he was recruited by the U.S. State Department and sent to Liberia to lead a surveying project with the Economic Mission. He spent the next 25 years as a career diplomat serving in U.S. embassies in Jordan, France, Aruba, Italy, Sweden and Israel. In 1958 he received his MA in Economics from Yale University. He retired from the State Department in 1979 and he and Nancy moved to North Myrtle Beach where he owned and operated ERA Dozier Reality. After 13 years, he and Nancy moved to his childhood farm near Centenary. There he picked back up farming skills that he learned as a young man and raised cattle, horses and enjoyed gardening and living closer to the family. Bill was a member of Centenary United Methodist Church. Bill loved nature and the outdoors and passed this love and knowledge on to his children and grandchildren. We have many happy memories of beach trips, nature walks around the farm and fishing together. A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, May 3 at 11:00am at Reedy Creek Cemetery, Rains, SC with Richardson Funeral Home directing. Published in the Sun News, May 1, 2011
