Celebrating the life of
William Kenneth Groover
December 17, 1936 - March 01, 2019
William “Bill” Kenneth Groover, 82, passed away Friday, March 1, 2019 at Riverview Health and Rehab Center.
Present at his side was Perlita B. Groover, his devoted wife of 56 years.
Bill was born on December 17, 1936 in Savannah, Georgia where he grew up attending local schools. His academic accomplishments culminated with a master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma.
In 1980 he retired after 20 years of service in the United States Army, attaining the rank of Major.
Along with his wife, he is survived by three sons, William K. Groover II, Douglas B. Groover (Kristin) and Daniel A. Groover, and one daughter Holly R. Groover (Gopikrishnaa) and four grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at a later date to be determined by the family.
William was one of my best friends at Savannah High School. He, Bobby Boggs, Earl Sims, Quinton Shearouse, and I, thought we were the smartest students around. And William was the smarter than the rest of us. After high school I lost track of William and in recent years had hoped to find him and ask how his life had turned out. Much to my sorrow, I find that I am too late. I am the only one now remaining of our group.
