Bill Wiseman - Services Friday
http://www.eastgatefuneralhome.com/index.cfm says:
Bill was born in Rhinehart, Texas on November 24, 1929 to the parents of
Wilson and Lola Wiseman. He had an older sister named Virgie. Bill
graduated from Mesquite High School and joined the military soon after.
After serving his country he came back to Dallas and started his career
with the Dallas County Sheriff's Department in February 1953. He met and
married the women of his dreams in 1958 and had an instant family
because not only did he now have a wife, he also had a daughter Connie.
A couple of years after that Bill, Ceil and Connie welcomed a son to the
family, Eric and a couple of years after Eric, Scott were born and the
family was complete. Bill's career with the sheriff's Department lasted
until 1981. He became head of security at Belo Corporation. Bill ran for
sheriff in 1984 and lost. He soon went to work for Constable Don Ashlock
and worked with the constable's office until his retirement in 1986.
Retirement for Bill was wonderful. He now had all the time he needed for
all the projects he wanted done. He would go to the Beef House
restaurant everyday. Soon he was known as the "King of the Beef House",
you could find him there holding court daily. Bill Passed from this life
on January 23, 2011 at the age of 81. Bill never met a stranger, so
everyone who knew Bill loved and respected him. Bill loved people and
people loved him. Funeral Services will be held 12:00 noon Friday
January 28, 2011 at Eastgate Funeral Home Chapel. Rev. Ken Ashlock
officiating. Interment to follow at Pleasant Mound Cemetery, Dallas,
Texas. The family will receive friends from 6-8 Wednesday at Eastgate
Funeral Home

Bill Wiseman was a Democratic nominee for County Commissioner and
Sheriff in Dallas County. He was standing in front of the Old Red
Courthouse with Al Maddox and others as the Kennedy motorcade went by.
He said "The President looked great." Bill's boss, Sheriff Bill Decker,
was in the lead car of the motorcade, along with the Police Chief.
After the shooting Bill encountered a rather upset Marilyn Sitzman, the
secretary of Abraham Zapruder. She told him "his head just exploded."
She pointed Bill toward the Texas School Book Depository. He was the
first Sheriff's deputy in the TSBD after the assassination. Bill ran in
the building where the clerk asked him "Who are you?" - - to which Bill
repliled "I am your boss." Bill ran up the stairway to try to access
the roof of the building but found a lock on the access door at the top
of the stairs. On his way back down he found DPD officers had also
entered the building. He recovered a piece of bone from Elm Street. He
recommended that they move Oswald to the County Jail in the middle of
the night along with the drunks. He an other former deputies visited
Sheriff Decker during his final illness. They continued to meet
regularly for years to recall memories of the Decker administration.
(Sheriff Decker is now at the Hillcrest Mausoleum, near Judge Sarah T.
Hughes.) At my request Bill told his story at a forum conducted by Jim
Marrs at UT-A. Cecile Wiseman was later a Democratic nominee for Tax
Assessor-Collector in Dallas County.
