William "Bill" Pezzuti passed away on 2/22/24 after a brave fight with Liver Cancer at 72 years old. A retired Army veteran, and an employee of Ford Motor Company for over 30 years, Bill was loved by many. An active member of Hawthorne Gospel Church, Bill was also a Grief Share Counselor and a part of the Church's media team. Bill was a devout lover of pets, and had 2 beautiful dogs, Sophie and Cloie, that were "his girls". While we all wish he could still be "holding court" here with us, we are grateful that he is at peace, with God, and "holding court" in a higher place. For all that knew him, know his sense of humor, love of music, and overall kind heart is what made him who he was. Bill will truly be missed by not only his family, but all of the friends he has made throughout his life. He is survived by his loving wife Joan, his sons, Jeff, Tim, and Stephen, Joan's children Dennis and Jessica, and his grandchildren Jared, Austin, Harley, Owen, Matt, Gianna, Maggie, and Alexa.
