William Barnard Finger died on December 23, 2018 in Charlotte, NC at Asbury Rehabilitation Center. He was the loving son of Barnard H. Finger and Avanelle K. Freeman Finger and was born March 2, 1946. Bill attended Garinger High School and graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, GA, where he received his BS in Industrial & Systems Engineering in 1969, and his Masters in Transportation Engineering in 1970. In 1969, Bill married his sweetheart, Linda Mary Tew, in Charlotte. He worked in Atlanta and Charlotte as a consulting engineer before joining the Charlotte Dept. of Transportation in 1977. He served there for 29 years and retired as Assistant Director for Planning and Systems. Bill loved his work and his colleagues at CDOT and enjoyed being a part of Charlotte's growth and development going into the 21st century.
Bill served in the United States Army for two years and was discharged in 1972 as a 1st lieutenant. He worked in Detroit with a joint US/German group developing a new tank for NATO.
Bill was a loving father and grandfather, and a devoted husband. He leaves behind his wife, Linda; daughter, Kathryn E. Finger (Eric VanNewkirk) of Charlotte; son, Wesley P. Finger (Rachel Rose) of Atlanta; a sister, Ann E. Finger of Charlotte; and his grandchildren Hannah Rose Finger and Jacob Kendrick Finger of Atlanta, GA.
Bill was a great story-teller and loved retelling tales of his family travels and especially of the life of his adventurous father, Barney Finger. Bill will be missed by many friends at St. John's Baptist Church where he grew up and served as a deacon [serving a term as chairman], a youth Sunday school teacher, and a volunteer for many years. He was also a devoted friend to his close group of TKE fraternity brothers with whom he traveled and spent many happy times throughout his life.
