Bill L. Huffman

Bill Huffman, 68 of Grand Rivers, Kentucky died on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at Baptist Health in Paducah, Kentucky.

Born Tuesday, April 3, 1956 on the family farm in Iron Hill, Kentucky, Bill grew up with his two sisters and parents, the late Junius Huffman and Ann Johnson Huffman in Huffman's Ford.

There he became a father and a farmer before pursuing a college education, graduating with a degree in real estate from Morehead State University in 2000. He donned cap and gown the same year his son graduated from high school.

He met his wife Vida and moved across Kentucky to start a new life with her and a new career selling yachts. From farmer to yacht salesman, he has thrown his heart into everything he does, finding success and plenty of friends along the way. He was a fixture at Calvert City Gun Club where he shot trap, skeet and taught everyone how to play Rook.

He had a knack for joking around, telling you a story (true or tall tale) and making you feel like an old friend, even if you just met.

After retiring, he spent his time corralling cats, keeping his granddaughters in line and returned to his farming roots, tending his vegetable garden.

He will be sorely missed by all who knew him

Surviving are his wife of 21 years, Vida Gary of Grand Rivers, KY; son, Ben Huffman (Michelle) of Sussex, WI, sisters; Wanda June Kitchen (J.V.) of Grayson, KY and Jeanie Virgin (Shannon) of Grayson, KY; granddaughters, Mabel Huffman and Emma June Huffman.

He was preceded in death by his father.
