William was preceded in death by his wife, Patsy; son, Rodney; and a sister and brother-in-law Nancy (Simon) Demirjian of Fresno, Calif.
He is survived by his sister, Mary (Howard) Zimmer of Austin, Minn.; his children, Candace (Michael) Manka of Fort Madison, Steven (Joyce) Freese of Cedar Rapids, and William (Debra) Freese of Newton; 8 grandchildren, Samantha, Alex, Amanda, Evan, Matthew, Patrick, Nikkia and Benjamin; and 6 great grandchildren.
