With great sadness, we announce the passing of William “Bill” Piechocinski on Sunday, October 25, 2020. Bill was 71. Beloved husband and best friend of Sherry Piechocinski (nee Gullett). Loving father of Scott (Jaime) Piechocinski and Sara (Eric) Heuerman. Proud grandfather to Madison Heuerman, William “Will” Heuerman, Colin Piechocinski, Joseph “Joey” Heuerman, and Nicholas “Nick” Piechocinski and great-grandfather to Luke Wheeler. Fondly remembered by his siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family of friends. Bill never met a stranger he didn’t like and had an exceptional love and appreciation for music, fishing, hunting, cars, and the outdoors. He found joy in traveling and sharing stories of all his adventures great or small. To know him, was to love him.

Known as “Mr Bill “ by his extended family, which we have had the honor of being a part of for 50 plus years, will be greatly missed. No one will ever be able to tell a better fish story! As Brad Paisley sings in his song about fishing:
“ Well I am going to Miss You”
Love Kathy & Jim
