Bill was born in Hot Springs to Paul and Julia Mascho. Bill graduated from Parkview High School in Little Rock before attending the University of Arkansas and later for UCA.
Outgoing and a friend to everyone he met, his laugh and love could fill a room. Bill loved to fish, and like most good fishermen, Bill could tell a good story. He also would put those stories and love on paper, writing poems and gifting them on special occasions.
LeAnn Mascho, Bill’s wife and companion of 24 years, will cherish the memories of their travels, Bill’s giant laugh and all the beautiful, quiet moments she shared with her husband and best friend. Bill’s parents, Paul and Julia, will remember their son as an amazing athlete, full of kindness and with a mind of his own. His only brother, Stephen, learned a lot of “what not to do” on their many adventures while trying to keep up with light-hearted Bill. Bill will also be missed by his large extended family, friends from his many years at the Highway Department and the Post Office and his “Happy Catholic” church family at St. Mary of the Springs.
