In Memory Of
Bill Arthur Dollinger
1941 - 2016

Bill A. Dollinger of Louisville, KY, formerly from Indianapolis, IN, has returned to his Heavenly Father on April 30, 2016.

He was a Commercial Realtor and Auctioneer. Beginning his real estate career in 1962 as a rent collector for a property management firm, he then worked for a subsidiary of College Life Insurance Company before accepting a position with an off-shore mutual fund, where he traveled extensively for a number of years. Moving to Louisville in the 70's, he established a commercial division for Bass & Weisberg and operated their property management division. In January, 1973, he established Real Estate Service Corporation, which would become one of the largest property management and commercial sales and leasing firms in the area.

Bill was a past president of the Greater Louisville Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate Management, past Manager of the Year, former Governing Councilor and a Certified Property Manager Emeritus. As an Auctioneer, he received the AARE (Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate) and CAI (Certified Auctioneers Institute) designations. He was also a member of the Louisville Board of Realtors, Kentucky and National Associations of Auctioneers, Louisville Home Builders Association and the Rotary Club of East Louisville Sunrise, where he was the recipient of the Alfred S. Heims Rotarian of the Year Award for the Rotary year 2007-08.

Bill was a patriot and loved his country, having volunteered to serve in the United States Army, and he has been a life-member of the American Legion.
The thing he was most honored and humbled by, however, was the right to be called a Christian. He was a member of Southeast Christian Church for many years, and currently is a member of Hikes Point Christian Church in Louisville.

He is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie, and children: Keith Dollinger, Karin Yakimow (Steve), Laura McIntosh (Brian), and Max Dollinger (Kelly); as well as grandchildren: David Crowder (Josie), Jesse Reed (Megan), Mia, Holly, & Jack Yakimow, Meridian, Camryn, & Kendall McIntosh, and Hollis Rose Dollinger. Step-daughter, Karen Pacheco (John), and Step-Son, Tim Hatzell (Jodi), plus grandchildren: John-Michael Pacheco (Lacie), Christian Pacheco, Bailey, Dori & Ari Hatzell; and great-grandchildren: Guy and Renley Reed and Dalen & Alanie Pacheco. Sister: Kathy Thompson, Aunt: Mary Francis Adams, and Cousins: Danny Adams, Joe Adams and Becky Ralston (J.R.).

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 from 1:00pm until 8:00pm at Hikes Point Christian Church, 2601 Hikes Lane Louisville, Kentucky 40218.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 11:00am at Hikes Point Christian Church, 2601 Hikes Lane Louisville, Kentucky 40218, with burial to follow at Louisville Memorial Gardens West, 4400 Dixie Highway Louisville, Kentucky 40216.
