Bill is survived by his dearest friend Janet Drury, his son Joe (Rachel), grandchildren Jordan Achemire, Dallas Coleman, and Lukyan. Bill is also survived by his sister Christine (Tom) Helm, brother-in-law William (Sherry) Rack, sister Susan (Phil) Mantsch, brother Steven (Kathy) Scherbarth, brother-in-law Michael Fox, sister Sandra (Michael) Finley, brother Kurt (Tammi) Scherbarth, and many beloved nephews and nieces.
Bill was a talented artist who graduated from the University of Milwaukee and went on to teach art in the Milwaukee public schools for 15 years.
The Scherbarth family would like to thank all the wonderful staff at Maple Ridge Health Services with a special thanks to Wes. We would also like to thank the ministry at St. James Faith Community for the special occasion cards they sent Bill as well as the routine visitation and distribution of communion.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 28th from 10:30AM to 12:00PM at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Parish (3100 S 41st St, Milwaukee, WI) followed by a Mass at 12:00PM.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to St. Ben's Community Meal Program would be appreciated. https://www.capuchincommunityservices.org/ways-to-help/donations

Bill insisted I attend our 50th class reunion. I am so very glad he did. We shared many a memory. My cancer returned shortly after and I became homebound. I was shocked when he became ill. He was always so full of life. Janet, when we spoke he always mentioned you. Chris, his family was paramount. I will miss him. A fellow classmate had just yesterday emailed me a picture of Bill and I in the chapel at Messmer.
