Gone But Not Forgotten Two former State Board members passed away recently. William C. “Bill” Nuckolls, 93, died Dec. 18, 2022. Nuckolls served as a public member on the State Board, fulfilling two terms from 1999-2007. He was a newspaper man from Fairbury, Neb., and loved to tell stories. We enjoyed attending a few Husker baseball games together. Nuckolls was always proud of his family and was an interesting person, as you can see from his obituary at www.gerdesmeyerfh.com/obituary/william-bill-nuckolls. He really enjoyed attending NASBA events, meeting other public members, and interacting with NASBA leadership. Terry G. Ellinger, CPA, 78, died Jan. 5, 2023. Ellinger served one term on the State Board from 1998-2003 and was a member of the board when I arrived. A real Western Nebraska CPA/cowboy with a deadpan wit, he did not really appreciate long, drawn-out discussions, preferring to get to the point! He looked at me during one of my first meetings, leaned over, and said, “What the heck are you doing here?” … then smiled. He was a great guy! You’ll find his obituary at www.mccookgazette.com/story/2978602.html. Please join me in thinking of Bill and Terry’s families as we remember these two great public servants.
