William, known as Bill to all that knew him, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Fathers Day morning, June 16,2019, at the age of 78. He is survived by his two sons Scott and Ron, his two grandsons, and his lifelong love Jeri, her daughter Debra and son Billy and their families.




Bill was born in Peoria Illinois. His family moved to Eagle Rock, CA where he was raised. While attending Eagle Rock High School he played on the championship winning varsity football team, The Screaming Eagles. He became lifelong friends with most of his classmates and was an active member of the alumni association. After graduating, he went to Cal Poly S.L.O. before moving to the San Fernando Valley, where he joined the I.B.E.W. local 11 district 4 Electrical Union. He worked as an Electrician Foreman for over 50 years before retiring to spend time with his friends and family in Van Nuys, CA.



For most of his adult life, Bill was an active member and supporter of the North Hollywood Assembly of God Church/The Center Church.



Bill was always giving away roses that he grew at home. He would give them, along with a hug, to anyone he came in contact with, hoping to bring a smile to their face and brighten up their day.



He was a Great Man, he will be Loved and Missed by all.
