Obituary

William (Bill) Williams, aka Hot Rod Bill passed away peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, October 16th,. Born on September 6th, 1947 in Lima, Ohio. He loved bass fishing, little children, and dogs.

He was an avid NASCAR fan, and owned and operated a Hot rod shop where he created beautiful rides! He quit high school 2 weeks before graduation to take care of his family, but he was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. Bill never served in the military. He tried to enlist during the Vietnam conflict but was denied because he had high blood pressure (at the age of 18) along with an injury to his hand that he received as a child (and he loved to tell the story). Bill and Jeanne were introduced by a mutual friend and were married on September 12th, 1999.

Bill was preceded in death by William E. Williams (father), Jennie M. Williams (mother), and Charles (Chuck) Williams (brother).

He is survived by Jeanne Williams(wife), Tim Williams (son), Randy Huffer (son), and Rene Polojac (daughter). Also by grandchildren Amanda Wilson (+4 kids & 1 grand), Christopher Williams, Peyten South, Kyleigh Huffer, Ashlyn Huffer, Tyler Huffer, Morgan Huffer, Mikayla Polojac, Rylan Polojac, Marlene Polojac.
