William “Bill” Harrison Daisey Sr., 90, of Dover, passed away Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021. Bill was best known as a three-term Dover city council member, vice principal at W.T. Chipman Middle School in Harrington, and former chief of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe.
Born Oct. 20, 1931, in Lewes, during the Great Depression, he grew up in the Lewes/Millsboro areas near Indian Mission Church. Bill was the son of the late Pearl “Florine” Daisey, who married Elmer R. Street, formerly of Harbeson, on July 18, 1939.
On July 26, 2014, Bill was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Shirley Corinne (Street), daughter of the late Clarence Albert Street and the late Martha Ann Street, formerly of Millsboro. Bill and Shirley were married March 25, 1951.
Bill began his formal education at Lewes Elementary School, the Hollyville School (Millsboro), and the Richard Allen School (Georgetown), but due to segregation laws, he could only obtain his high school degree by moving 90 miles away (staying with his grandmother) and attending Howard High School in Wilmington to complete his senior year. Appreciating the value of education and a trade, he would become a qualified journeyman in over eight different trades and would later earn, while working full time, his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Delaware State College and his master’s degree in administration from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in New Jersey.
He held several jobs as he worked to obtain his degrees, including auto engine mechanic, auto body/fender repairman, body shop foreman, aircraft painter, industrial painter, aircraft jet engine mechanic and engineering technician. His career in education began in adult education/training in New Jersey. In 1978, he accepted the position of vice principal at W.T. Chipman Middle School, later becoming transportation supervisor for the Lake Forest school district. Bill…
