William ‘Bill’ Wojciechowski, age 75, passed away peacefully on Monday February 8th at his home in Badger, with his wife, Barb by his side. Bill was 75 years old.
He was born July 15th, 1945 in Greenbush, the son of Harry and Hildegarde (Grabinski) Wojciechowski.
Bill grew up in Greenbush with 6 brothers, Harley, Edward, Richard, Lawrence, Dean and Dale. Bill and Barb (Young) were joined in marriage in 1965 and had two children Kevin and Jodi.
Bill was born with a wrench in his hand and had a passion for mechanics all his life. He made a life-long career out of it. He taught his son Kevin and grandson Kasey the same passion for figuring out what was wrong and how to fix it. Bill and Kevin went on to own their own business and made many lifelong friends throughout their career. Kasey is continuing on with the family tradition and papa enjoyed being out in the shop with him.
Bill’s grandson Brandon may not have followed in his footsteps, but they shared a very special bond. When Brandon was little he went over to Grandma and Papa’s house on rotating weekend’s with Kasey. It was a highlight in Papa’s life to play games, watch cartoons and swing his grandson’s in a blanket. As Brandon got older they shared a love of fishing and papa gave him advice on anything and everything in life. Many memories were made.
Jodi was always a daddy’s girl. They looked and acted a lot alike. Together they shared all the ups and downs of life, and he was always there for her. He went from taking care of her to her helping him in his fight against pancreatic cancer.
Bill was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, relative and friend to so many and his presence and joyful spirit will be missed by many.
