Bill passed away surrounded by his loving family on July 28, 2025. He was welcomed by his parents William and Lois and his sister Jodi. Keeping his memory alive are his beloved Cindy, his children Jill (Victor) Manson, Jana and Jacob (Boy) Katheiser, grandchildren Bentley and Jaylin Katheiser, sisters Sue (Kevin) Fox, Sandy ( Justin) Boyd and Amy Katheiser. and many other friends and family.
Even though his reputation for being a jokester sometimes caused him a "bit of a pain" he was a fun-loving and one of a kind friend. Throughout his life Bill had to rise to many challenges but he faced them head on. His engineer's brain meant he had to be constatnly busy. Aside from his family and friends Bill loved camping and classic cars.
A celebration of Bill's life will be held at a later date.
