In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Karl.

Surviving are his siblings, Trudy and Kurt; several nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family; and many friends made as he traveled the winding path of life.

We hung out and a good friend of mine. Just so sad and way too early!! God Bless you and your family!!

I remember Billy as a child and young man. I got to know him through his sister, Trudy, who was my best friend and whose house I stayed at a lot as a teenager. Billy's mother called him "Boopy" and so did I. He and his brothers, Kurt and Karl, were mischievous and fun to be around (and so was Trudy). Billy took it in stride when he set off a bomb he made, hurting himself enough to be hospitalized. It was never boring at the Woerner's home especially when Trudy was child-sitting her brothers. My laughing at their antics wasn't much help in calming the boys down and getting them settled for the night. I remember staying overnight and being awakened by the doorbell, only to find out it was their dog, Curly, wanting to come inside. That was a hoot. Billy (or one of the other boys) taught her to ring it. And, I'll always remember the summer vacations at Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. On the long car ride there, the boys taught me to sing with them "Down by the shores of the Hanky Panky where the bull frogs jump from bank to banky" . . . .very funny! Billy dated my sister for a bit and they babysat for my kids. I'll always remember how he made me laugh! He had a calmness about him that made others feel comfortable. He was a sensitive, kind soul who enjoyed the company of others. I know losing his brother Karl affected him greatly. Now he is reunited with him and his parents. Until we meet again, be at peace.

Extending deep and sincere sympathy over the loss of Bill. At such times words can not express our feelings. The hope in the resurrection keeps us waiting with eager anticipation.

Thanks for always supporting me at the race track and watching me play football. Thanks for always making me laugh with all your jokes.

We will miss having you around Bill but we will always think of you. You lived with us for a few years and we had many meals together. . Thanks for all jokes you shared. Today Cole was telling jokes, and I said your quite the character today, he said I now will be Little Bill, So glad Cole is cracking jokes just like you always did. When we eat Dales Seasoning we will always think of you.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My deepest sympathy to Trudy, Kurt and family for your loss. I know that it is a devastating time, but I truly believe that Bill is at peace now.

Billy was always was able to make us laugh even in the most serious of situations. He took me on one of my 1st boat rides in the Gulf of Mexico & also showed me how to toss a mullet net. He will be missed by all of us but I know hes now at peace watching a football game with Grandma , Grandpa & Karl. RIP... Tracy & Karl

Billy will always hold a special spot in our hearts. Billy taught Michael & Paige how to fish with a cast net in Lillian when they were little and let Michael shoot for the first time. Those three have lots of great memories made that will never be forgotten. Billy will be greatly missed by us all RIP Billy <3

Our family loves “Mr. Billy”. He always made us laugh, taught us to feed Kick Stand hot dogs and quickly became a member of our family. Such a special guy.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
