Williamsport Sun Gazette


William Elwood “Bill” Yocum passed away Monday, August 22, 2016, at his home in Carlisle, Pa. He was a son of the late Elwood Ernest and Violet Elizabeth (Corter) Yocum.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his “baby brother” Clyde Eugene.

He is survived by his wife, the former Doris Jean Antes, Carlisle, and his daughter Freda, Harrisburg. Bill and Doris would have celebrated 70 years of marriage November 16.

He was a 1939 graduate of Williamsport High School and a veteran of the U.S. Army Air Force, in which he was a control tower operator, stationed in Paris after its liberation.

Bill spent a lifetime in the trucking industry, riding along on his father’s routes, most notably from Williamsport to Washington, D.C., in the 1930’s, and working for the late Clarence Klinger while he was still in high school and for his late uncle Fred Corter in Allentown after graduation. He later worked for KUK, P&M, and the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association, where he spent the last ten years of his career as president, before retiring at age 70 in 1992.

He enjoyed harness racing, card playing, traveling the back roads of Pa. and New York, and spending time with the Antes family. He will be greatly missed by his wife, daughter, in-laws, nieces, and nephews.

Burial will be in Montoursville Cemetery.
