Born in Tacoma, WA on November 4, 1950. to Bill and Helen Blanchfield. Bill attended Sacred Heart Catholic School and graduated in 1969 from Curtis High School. He was a member of Local 82 lumbers and Pipefitters and for many years owned a concrete forming company. In 1979 he married Sheryl Zink and they had two children, Bill III and Brandi. Bill loved the ponies, playing cards, a good steak and mostly, his family and friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Inoue and the wonderful staff at MultiCare, all angels that helped immensely with this journey. Bill was the life of the party and was such a lucky man. Special thanks to Bill's girlfriend Patti Larson, who took such good care of Bill during his illness. We are indebted to her and to all of Bill's friends that supported us during this time. Private graveside services are planned. Please join us on Saturday, November 29th for a celebration of Bill's life at the house, beginning at three. Bill is survived by his children, his sisters Tina and Linda, and beloved nephew and nieces Brian, Helena and Angel. Special thanks to Hospice, who in the last week helped us immensely.
