William is survived by his wife of 8 years, Claudette Casto Tomblin; his daughter, Ashley Sanatore (Bryce) of Ohio; his mother, Elva Brown Tomblin of Ohio; his granddaughters, Lexi Bietler and Bella Sanatore; his sister, Jeana Edie and husband, John of Ohio; his brother, Jami and his partner, Josh of Ohio; his favorite nephew, Tristen Tomblin and many more nieces and nephews.
