He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Allen and Kirk Busch.

Bill touched many lives, he helped raise and guide many kids. He was an avid fisherman and hunter. He even took his last trip to Montana to go hunting last October. He taught many people how to fish, shrimp and crab but never giving away all his secrets. He was a very skilled craftsman and built many boats/yachts that are sailing in the Puget Sound.

How sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I have great memories of Bill, Paul, Allen & Patches, their family pet when we're kids. Lots of laughter. I remember all the family Thanksgivings we shared at your Grandparents, my Aunt Elsie & Uncle Leo. I never drive by Bitter Lake without thinking of you all. I will be there in spirit as you lay Bill to rest, due to a previous commitment, I will not be able to attend Bill's reception. However, I share your heavy heart at this time.
Love to all my Busch cousins, Chris (Torell) Van Dussen
