William (Bill) (Big Poppy) E. Helman, 65, Indiana, left this world on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, passing away at his residence.
The son of Harold and Elizabeth (Bence) Helman, he was born December 1, 1957 in Ohio.
Bill was a thoughtful, kind, generous man, the likes of which are found but once in a lifetime.
He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and keep in touch with his friends and family. Bill thoroughly enjoyed taking care of his land and his home with his own hands and would extend that service to those around him. Within the past 7 years, Bills’ great love and enjoyment was with his 3 youngest grandchildren. Many days and weekends were spent soaking up every moment with them and his family.
Bill will be remembered as a caring husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He will be greatly missed.
