William Simko Obituary
William A. Simko (64) of North Royalton, OH passed away on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Beloved father of Matthew and daughter-in-law Samantha, grandfather to his treasured grandchildren Noah and Levi, and brother to Chris and Paul.
Bill was a father, grandfather, and brother whose life was marked by his passions and interests.
Bill found joy in fishing on Lake Erie and spending days in Marblehead and Put-in-Bay. Whether on his boat or in his car, Jimmy Buffett would be playing on the radio. Bill also had a passion and talent for cooking, and his meals were a testament to his skill and creativity in the kitchen.
He was proud of his Polish heritage, and it was something he held dear throughout his life. Through his line of work, Bill was deeply involved in the Eastern European community in Northeast Ohio.
Bill's legacy is one of individuality and the unique memories he created. He will be remembered for his passions and the moments of joy he found in his favorite activities.
