William was born November 15, 1953, in Flint, Michigan, the son of Maynard O. Wyckoff and Helene M. Smith.

He will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor and his favorite sayings, including "Got $50 in your pocket?" and "Hey, it's the pest."

He is survived by his sisters, Karen (John) Horn of Twining, Michigan, and Dawn (Jim) Marquis of St. Helen, Michigan; his brother, Pete Wyckoff of Menominee, Michigan; and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

William was preceded in death by his parents, Helene Smith and Maynard Wyckoff; his sister, Brenda Wyckoff; and his brother, David Wyckoff.

William will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
