William Michael Chesney MailTribune.com Writer Posted Nov. 11, 2014 @ 2:00 am Posted Nov. 11, 2014 @ 2:00 am » Social News William Michael Chesney William Michael Chesney passed away peacefully in Jacksonville, Ore. November 9, 2014 surrounded by loving family. He was born September 1, 1923 in Great Falls, Mont. where his father worked in the oil fields. Bill served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific during World War II and met his bride Althea when they both were attending the University of Minnesota and working at the Minneapolis public library. They were married in 1950. He had a long successful career with AC Nielsen, a marketing research firm. In 1964 Bill's job took him and his family to the San Francisco Bay area. After retiring he and Althea moved to Jacksonville to be near family. They became active in Saint Joseph's Catholic Mission. Bill was a loving and fun-loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He enjoyed people, animals (especially dogs), sports (especially golf), nature, music, travel, and all things aeronautical. He had a remarkable ability to engage almost anyone in conversation. One of Bill's greatest joys was a good hike with his dog. He had a keen sense of observation and an interest in the natural world that he loved to share with others. A funeral mass will take place at St. Joseph's Catholic Mission at 280 N. 4th St. at 10:30 a.m. Friday November 14, 2014 preceded by a recitation of the rosary at 10:00 a.m. Following the service a reception will take place at noon at Pioneer Village at 805 N. 5th St., Jacksonville. Bill is survived by his wife of 64 years, Althea Chesney of Jacksonville; son, Bill Chesney of Montague, Calif. and his wife, Diana Bellotti; daughter, Kathy Hoskin of Central Point and her husband, Don; and Linda Chesney of Ashland and her husband, Steve Koskella; grandchildren, Jim and Rose Chesney, Wil and Kate Hoskin, and Elli and Amelia Koskella; and great-grandchildren, Brandon and Jacquelyn Chesney and June Koskella Brown. The family expresses their gratitude to Rebecca Sandu of Jacksonville Home Care for her kindness and care. Memorial Contributions may be made to Southern Oregon Humane Society or Saint Vincent De Paul Society of Medford.
