It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William “Bill” Fillgrove, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. Bill journeyed from this world on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the age of 82, in Lancaster, Pa.

Born May 12, 1943, in Sligo, Pa., he carved a life filled with love, adventure and unwavering dedication to his family.

A proud steel mill worker and Air Force veteran, Bill exemplified the virtues of hard work and perseverance throughout his years.
