William Richard Banks

Posted on: Dec 31, 2010

William Richard "Bill" Banks, age 82, died November 8, 2010.  Bill graduated from the U.T. College of Law in 1950 and then immediately went overseas as a War Crimes Prosecutor during the Korean War. He was licensed in 1958 and practiced law in Knoxville for more than 50 years. Bill is survived by his loving family and will be greatly missed by the members of his law firm, Banks & Jones, and his many colleagues within the bar.  He was a member of Washington Pike United Methodist Church and more recently attended Cokesbury United Methodist Church.  He was preceded in death in 2002 by wife Marie Cassetty Banks. Bill is survived by his loving family: daughter and son-in-law, Betsy and Bruce Walker of Atlanta; son and daughter-in-law, David and Dawn Banks of Knoxville; four wonderful grandchildren, Patrick Walker and Sara Marie Walker of Atlanta, Allie Banks and Emily Banks of Knoxville; brother, John Banks Sr.; sister, Allene Shipley both of Knoxville.
