He loved spending time with family and friends, always staying busy working in the garage on cars, especially his 1967 Chevelle. He was wise, playful and always willing to help anyone out with a project. Golf was a huge part of his life, being up before the sun and one of the first ones on the course. Bill loved vacationing to Florida, especially the Keys and had a blast being near the ocean. He was a Rock-N-Roller and was known to have the music so loud you could hear it from outside the house.

Bill is survived by his loving wife Ann Bollmann, his three daughters, Kristina Bollmann, Angela Bollmann and Melissa Bollmann, his son-in-law, Pete Rieck and two grandsons, Mason and Peyton Miller of Bettendorf. Also survived by his two sisters, Karen Bollmann, Dorothy Brinton, and brother Richard Bollmann. His mother-in-law Ruth Thomson, three sisters-in-law, Jan and Art Jackson, Jill and Nigel and Jean and Mike Swab. Two brothers-in-law Bob and Sandy Thomson and Bill and Deb Thomson.
