William Menges Obituary
ELLENTOWN, Fla. - William John Menges, born September 10, 1943, in Albany, N.Y., passed away in Ellenton, Fla., on March 24, 2025.
It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of William "Bill" Menges.
Bill was born in Albany, N.Y., and later resided in Colonie and Burden Lake, N.Y. He had a deep appreciation for the Adirondack Mountains and a lifelong love of hiking and fishing.
He was the owner of Menges Carpets and retired to Seminole, Fla., in 1994, with his wife, Susan.
Bill was predeceased by his mother, Theresa Little Menges Kalohn; and his father, William F. Menges.
He is survived by his son, Kevin (Justine) Menges; daughters, Karen M. Menges and Amanda (Zach) Wiernicki; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and his beloved wife, Susan.
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Bill's friends, Ken, Tommy, Candace, Bella, and Robert, for their constant support.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Albany, N.Y., at a later date.

My Love and sadness go out to our daughter Karen, son Kevin and your daughter Amanda. The grandchildren, great grandchildren. Nieces, nephews and many friends who are stunned and grief stricken by your sudden passing. We will all miss your stories, jokes and phone calls. Karen, Kevin and Amanda have shared your heartache these last few months and your broken heart could not be healed. We recently had long conversations about your wishes and plans for your children, may they all come to fruition. Your work on earth is now finished and you leave behind 81 years of memories. Rest in Peace my friend God has made a comfortable home for you. Thank you for the good times and memories we shared.
