He was born on August 24, 1950, in Alliance, Ohio, the son of the late William Edwin Ahlstrom, Sr., and Isabelle Doris Hunt, who survives him. Bill was a proud Marine, having served from 1969 to 1972, specializing in engineering. He attended Wittenberg University and later Milligan University in Tennessee. Following his service, he led a distinguished career as a Biomedical Engineer at Texas Instruments, Harris Semiconductor, Intermedics, and Biotronik. His groundbreaking work in pacemaker technology advanced the field and positively impacted countless lives. Having resided in Angleton for the last 40 years, Bill was an active member of his community. He served as a board member of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in Brazoria County and the Parks and Recreation Department. He also held several positions, including President and Vice President, on the board of the Texas Master Naturalist-Cradle of Texas chapter. Bill was a man of many passions. His love for the outdoors shone through his hobbies, which included birding, offshore fishing, and shelling at Texas beaches.
