William Korkuc Obituary
Bill was raised in Rhode Island and graduated from East Providence High School in Providence, Rhode Island. After high school, he answered the call of duty and served his country with honor as a veteran of the United States Air Force.
Bill enjoyed immersing himself in a good book or losing track of time in a captivating movie. Bill's love for reading and films was more than a hobby; it was a way for him to connect with others, share stories, and create lasting memories.
Bill's kind nature endeared him to everyone he knew. He is survived by wife, Marijke Korkuc. His daughter, Melissa Korkuc. His mother, Sandra Jackson, and his siblings, Joanna Jackson, James Morris, and Pamela Vincent. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Jackson.
In keeping with Bill's humble nature, his life will be commemorated in a private ceremony where those closest to him will gather to share stories, reflect on the joy he brought into their lives, and honor his memory.
