William was born November 4th, 1954, in Rochester, New Hampshire to the late Clerence and Delia (Potvin) Patch.
William spent his days as a mechanic, always working on cars. He was very proud of his grand-daughter, Montanna, who followed in his footsteps as a mechanic, serving as an AME in the U.S. Navy. William was very passionate about his camp in Dummer, New Hampshire, spending his time outside having bon fires, Moose Shopping, feeding the deer, snowmobiling, riding atv's, and enjoying the many faces that visited camp.
