OMBERG, William Fulton, 87, of Richmond, Va., died peacefully on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, surrounded by his family.
Bill was born on October 11, 1935 in Nashville, Tenn., to Arthur and Helen Omberg. He attended the United States Naval
Academy, graduating in the class of 1958. Bill met the love of his life, Patricia Holmes in San Diego, Calif. and they were married on December 26, 1960 at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Notre Dame, Ind. In his Naval career, Bill served 20 years in the Silent Service. During this time, he and Patlived all over the country, including tours in New London, Conn., Key West,
Fla., Monterey, Calif., Charleston, S.C. and Virginia Beach, Va. They had six children, which meant home life wasanything but silent. Bill and Pat retired to the Richmond area when the first of their 11 grandchildren was born. In addition to their grandchildren, they have also welcomed two greatgrandchildren. Bill was a master gardener, an excellent bridge partner
and loved hearing and telling a good joke. Aside from his wife, one of Bill's most enjoyable pastimes was spending time with his children and being PopPops to all of his grandchildren. He is survived by Patricia, his wife of 62 years; children, Bill Jr., King George, Va., Rob (Mary), North Hampton, N.H., Tom (Marti). Westfield, N.J., Peter (Susan), Arlington, Va., Katharin (Brian) Girardi, Chantilly, Va., Elizabeth (Travis) Brown, Glen Allen, Va.; and his grandchildren, Tucker (Bridget), William, Matt,

Burial will be offered at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, February 18, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, with family receiving friends one hour prior. Interment in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice. Also consider holding the door for a stranger or helping a loved one get seated at the table. That is what Bill would do.
