Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Homes, P.C. - Emmaus on Jan. 7, 2026.
William (Bill) L. Bohner, 85, of Lower Macungie Twp., passed away at home, on January 1, 2026.

Bill was born on April 17, 1940, in Tremont, PA (Schuylkill County), the son of the late Archie and Emma (Hoffman) Bohner. After graduating from Pottstown High School in 1958, he earned a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University and an MBA from Lehigh University. He devoted over 30 years to PP&L in Allentown, serving as an engineer, project manager, and director, and later completed his career as an executive with Comcast/AT&T Wireless.

He was a longtime member of the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit in Emmaus, and he took pride in caring for his home and yard, but most of all he cherished spending time with his family. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 61 years, Kathleen (Shaner) Bohner.

William is survived by his loving sons, William L. Bohner, Jr. and his wife, Lisa, Andrew Bohner and his wife, Joanne, and John Bohner and his wife, Jaclyn. He also leaves behind his grandchildren: April, William III (Annie), Philip (Anneka), Emma, Andrew, Leah, Hayden and Sophie, as well as his great-grandchildren, Kegan, Katie, and Desmond, who all brought him immense joy and pride. William was the youngest of nine children and survived by his sisters, Joan Wegman and Virginia Zeigler.
