William Findley Obituary
Bill was an accomplished pipefitter. Pipefitters are highly skilled and certified tradespeople who work on jobs large and small all across North America. They install piping systems in projects ranging from residential to high-tech and extremely sensitive and sophisticated facilities. He used his exceptional skills to construct and refurbish many key buildings like the Kennedy Space Center, Hertz Arena and hospital systems in the greater Fort Myers Area.
Bill was one of the nicest and most thoughtful people one could imagine - and after a long journey with personal struggles and diminishing health - he is able to finally rest in peace. On behalf of his family and friends, we will forever miss you, Bill.
Bill is predeceased by his Mother & Father: Peggy and Paul. He is survived by his Wife: Linda, Daughter: Arielle, Grandchildren: Tanner and Aria, and Brothers: Paul and Barry.

Bill was the love of my life and I was his. He told me so
We were together for 8 years. From age 16, Junior and Senior year and lived together for six years until age 24. Bill was one year older than me. We pretty much were kids who grew up together during this time. This was in the 70s, there was great music, clothes, hippies and cool we were. We had lots of love, (we made a cute couple), laughter, fun, camping adventures together.. he taught me much about nature, the city girl that I was. We also moved to Arizona for a year. My family loved Bill. We stayed friends and communicated all our lives. I also stayed friends with his parents Peggy and Paul visiting them often. And got even closer with Peggy, after Paul Sr passed visiting her more often and having "Bill catch up" after he got married.
There was a time in recent years Bill and I talked about possibly getting back together. However, because of his health Florida and warm weather was best for him and I prefer New Jersey's weather. Peggy would've LOVED that!
Bill is an intelligent, precious soul with a HUGE heart! I hope your wife appreciated you and how precious you are.
Thank you for being in my life and my heart Bill. I will always love and never forget you.

I´ll always remember Bill
for everything he taught me growing up and being a father to me and my sister. I remember relocating to Florida from Nj as a young child with Bill and my mom and later on Working together. He was a friend a
mentor and a father figure to me. He will be missed in my heart and I know he is finally finding peace.
