William J. Maund

MADISON- Bill Maund, age 75, passed away Friday evening, July 10, 2009, in his home with his loving family by his side. He had a very brief battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born March 24, 1934, in Philadelphia, PA. As a teenager, he was a photographer at the Philadelphia Enquirer. Bill served in the Air Force as a photographer. While stationed in Japan, he met Kyoko. They were married November 11, 1956. He attended San Francisco School of Fine Arts where he received his Bachelors Degree. They moved to New York City and he worked as a commercial photographer. He has a permanent collection of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and the Eastman Museum of Photography. One of Bill's passions in life was photography. He was a photographer and a producer at WHA-TV for many years and loved to take out of the ordinary photographs. Bill had the honor of going to Sapporo, Japan to film the 1972 Winter Olympics. Bill was a true outdoorsman as he loved to hunt and fish with family and friends. He was actively involved with the Trout Unlimited organization, where he loved to teach others the fine art of fly fishing. He was also an active member of Ducks Unlimited, the Center of Photography for Madison (CPM) and the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA). He had a lifetime membership with the NRA. Part of his charm was that he loved to tell a good story. He was well known, respected and loved by many people. He will be truly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Kyoko; his son, Brian Maund; a daughter-in-law, Susan Maund; a daughter, Karen Maund; and five loving grandchildren: Kevin Maund, Amanda Maund, Shanna Beckwith, Karla Beckwith and Kendra Beckwith.
