We created a GatheringUs memorial to celebrate the life of William Austin Titus (Bill / Whoppo). Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort. As we plan virtual and in person gatherings, we will share details here. Thank you for contributing to this lasting memorial.

I realized as the years went by, I was falling in love with my best friend. I moved to Port St. Lucie in 2002 to care for my mother and Bill would drive up on the weekends or I would come down to be with him. Bill was there holding my hand when my mother passed away.
When I moved back in 2004, Bill and I moved in together. Bill loved to have fun and loved being surrounded by his family and friends, so at our Christmas party in 2007, we decided to have a “surprise” wedding. It was wonderful and ours. Anyone who ever met Bill or held him in their heart knows what an amazing man he was. He would say, “if my parting leaves a void, fill it with remembered joy."
Thank you for everything my friend, my love, my gift from God.

He was fun, brought joy to everyone around him, he was thoughtful, he was generous, and when he loved, he loved so deeply. I grew up spending the weekends with him every other weekend and in those times he taught me to be encouraging, adventurous, loving, and not to take myself too seriously. He was famous for his bologna and cheese sandwiches and “Whoppo’s Spaghetti.” I miss him every day but know he is in the choir of angels singing praises to Jesus with his beautiful voice. Love you more than words can say Whoppo. less
