William Charles “Baldy” Houston, age 79, passed away on January 7, 2025, at the hospice care Center in Chattanooga.   Born on May 9, 1945, he was the son of the late Virgil and Pearl Houston.

Baldy was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Helen Houston, several brothers and sisters, and his parents.
