He also worked for Purvis Brothers Pennzoil for 20 years and was a life member of the Mars Volunteer Fire Department, now Adams Area Fire District.

Surviving is his wife of 57 years, Karen Lucille Wehr, who he married on June 26, 1964. He was the proud father of Robin Renfrew of Cranberry Township, Diane “Dee” Schulz of Valencia and Scott Schulz (Sharon Mikolas Schwartz) of Butler; and proud grandfather of Ethan (Catherine) Renfrew of Butler. He is also survived by his in-laws, Edward (Beverly) Wehr, Kenneth (Chery) Wehr, and Rebecca Burkert (Dan Gitzen), all of Butler; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

The family wishes to extend a gracious thank you to the staff of the Hillman Cancer Center at UPMC Passavant and UPMC Shadyside for the wonderful care and support throughout Bill's illness.

May God bless all who knew him.
