PRUITT, Bill D. Of Frostproof, FL Formerly of Kalamazoo Passed away Friday, April 3, 2009 at Florida Hospital in Orlando. He was born January 14, 1942 in Wichita, KS to the late Daniel and Eulayla (White) Pruitt. While on leave in the military, Bill was united in marriage, on December 26, 1959, to the former Harriett Groen, who survives. Bill served in the United States Navy from February of 1959 until honorably discharged in September of 1962.

He and his wife Harriet took a trip to Israel and the Holy Lands in 1982 and this trip was the source of many favored memories.
