Of Mason Neck, VA and Tampa/St. Petersburg FL, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 22, 2017 with his family at his side. He was the son of Henry and Harriet Binzer of Chicago, Illinois. He is survived by his five children, Gregory (Margie) Binzer, Dr. Ellen (Jim) Jenkins, Dr. Randy (Tennie) Binzer, Peggy Binzer, and William W. (Darlene) Binzer; 12 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and his brother, Don Binzer (Maureen) and their five children. He was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 57 years, Lenore Rita Binzer. William went to Saint George High School in Chicago, IL, where he played the accordion in a band with Bob Mersch on the drums, and Dick Hansen on the guitar. He attended Loyola University, the Loyola University School of Dentistry, and St Louis University Orthodontic Residency Program. William served in the Air Force for 24 years and achieved the rank of Colonel, as a dentist and orthodontist. After retirement from the military he worked as an orthodontist in Oxon Hill, MD, and Alexandria, VA. He enjoyed golf, travel, photography, playing the accordion, and a good joke. He was blessed with many good friends wherever he went and cared for them deeply, but family always came first. William Binzer was the Patriarch of our family. He is loved, he will be missed, but never forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Binzer's passing. I worked with Mr. Binzer during my time at Schwab and he was always such a delight. I enjoyed every meeting and he always told me stories of such joy when it came to his family. My prayers are with all of Mr. Binzer's family and close friends.
