William Audry Dunbar, affectionately known as "Hound Dog" to his countless friends and loving family, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 5, 2026 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was 68.
He was born on Thursday, August 15, 1957 in Catskill, a son of the late William and Margaret (née Bernhard) Dunbar. He graduated from WAJHS 1975.
He wore many hats with pride: a past chief of the Windham Fire Department and a long-time employee of the Greene County Highway Department, retiring after 30 years of service. Hound Dog was a lifelong resident of Windham, but he was known far and wide for his passion, his love of golf, his Harley Davidson, and his cherished gun collection. He was also well known for his lawn-mowing endeavors, maintaining properties all around the area throughout his life.
Hound Dog leaves behind a legacy of friendship, resilience, and generosity. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
He is survived by sisters Donna Russell of Kannapolis, NC; Diane Strang of Kingston, NY; Barbara (Don) Blake of Saugerties, NY; Pamela (Myron) Hidecker of Pittsboro, NC; and his brothers John (Rosi) of Kailua, HI; Steve (Mary Beth) of Fort Plain, NY; and Keith and Kevin of Windham, NY. There are many nieces and nephews as well as their families who will miss him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to any cause close to your heart in his memory.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 from 3:00 to 7:00 PM at Decker Funeral Home, 5312 Route 23, Windham.
