ARLINGTON, TEXAS -
William Curtis (Bill) Nichols died at his home in Arlington, Texas, on Thursday, January 21, 2021. He was born on November 19, 1952, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Robert L. (Bob) Nichols and Frances Hardison Nichols. He was a devoted son, providing care for both of his parents as they aged. Â
He moved with his family to a farm near Chisholm, Texas, in 1962. The old farmhouse and grounds required many weekends of hard work by everyone in the family, including 10-year-old Bill, to ready it for occupancy.  When Bill suggested the farm name be âAchinâ Acresâ, everyone was in agreement. Bill attended Chisholm United Methodist Church and was active in 4-H. He was recognized as a Gold Star Boy, the highest county 4-H honor. He graduated from Terrell High School and remained close to the school through the years as he helped implement the Bobby Nichols, Jr. Scholarship program in memory of his older brother.
