Called home way to soon on April 23, 2025. Age 50 years. Loving husband of Pamela (nee Wolf). Proud dad of Josie "Josie Whales" and Liz "Little Bet". Loving son of Donna and the late Bill. Awesome brother of Mike (Roni) Hoppe, Linda Gaglione, and Dawn (Kevin) Endries. Dear son-in-law of Steven and Genevieve Wolf. He is also survived by his bonus daughter, Katie Palmer. Further survived by many dear nieces and nephews who he had special bonds with, other loving relatives and MANY friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday May 10 at St. Anthony The Hermit Catholic Church, N74 W13604 Appleton Ave., Menomonee Falls, WI at 12 Noon. Visitation will be at the church from 9 AM until 11:45 AM. Following the Mass, everyone is invited to Bub's Irish Pub, N116 W16218 Main St. Germantown, WI to continue celebrating Bill's life. Private burial will be held at a later date at Union Grove Cemetery in Cassian, WI. In lieu of flowers, memorials to Wisconsin Adopt a Golden Retriever "WAAGR" are appreciated.

Bill had a love for life as big as the North Woods he so cherished. His family was the heart of his world. A true dreamer with an infectious smile and the biggest hugs. Known for unwavering honesty and a generous heart, always ready to lend a helping hand. Bill was a State and National heavyweight wrestling champion in 1992. We will miss his warmth, his humor, his smoked meats and the way we felt a little lighter just by him being around.
