William Wilson Obituary

William "Bill" Wilson

Sheboygan - William "Bill" the King Wilson, age 64, of Sheboygan, passed away on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center from Corona Virus complications with his wife at his side. "The King" was born on November 16, 1956, the son of the late Edward and Carita Schmeichel Wilson. He attended local schools and graduated from Sheboygan South High School in 1975. On April 12, 1980 he was united in marriage to Linda Lohr at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Sheboygan. He was employed at Thomas Industries for 26 years in the Shipping Department. Bill was an avid softball player and played all around Wisconsin, but usually at Wildwood Softball Park. Throughout his years of playing, he acquired many MVP awards at tournaments, and he was inducted into the Softball Hall of Fame in 2004. He enjoyed playing cards and drinking old fashions with extra olives. Bill loved watching sports, especially the Green Bay Packers and he collected bobbleheads and other sports memorabilia. He was a great father who loved his children & dog dearly. Bill is probably playing poker up in heaven right now. Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Linda; children, Eric Wilson and Emily Wilson; two sisters, Kathy (Richard) Nack and Jan (Robert) Keppert; three brothers, Eddie Wilson, Dan Wilson and Dave (Pam) Wilson; a father-in-law, Don (Barb) Lohr; sister-in-law, Susie (Scott) Senkbeil and a brother-in-law, Robert Lohr. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Bill was preceded in death by his parents and a mother-in-law, Jan Lohr. A celebration of life for Bill will held on Saturday, May 22, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Our Saviors Lutheran Church, 917 Mead Ave. Sheboygan with Rev. James Schulz officiating. Family and friends may gather at the church from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service at 2:00 p.m. A heartfelt thank you is extended to the staff at Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center for the compassion, care and support that was given to Bill.

Dan, so sorry to hear about your brother’s passing. When I worked at Don Caan’s Flowers I met Bill. He was ordering anniversary flowers and it just so happens that Tim Entringer and I share the same anniversary, the same actual day at Our Saviors! It was always fun to wait on him for the following 11 years when he came in to order flowers for their anniversary. He was a great guy and reminded me alot of you Dan. Our deepest sympathy.
