William was a big Packers fan, loved to take long walks, and enjoyed watching his favorite teams play on TV — the Bucks, the Brewers, and of course golf. After he retired he went on to work part-time at Maplecrest Golf Club in Kenosha, and golfed there with his favorite golf buddies. He was a gentle and kind man, with a smile for everyone he met. He will be dearly missed by his sons, William (Lisa) Seils, and Timothy(Susan) Seils; beloved grandfather, also known as Grampa Hi-Ya Bob, to Robert (Anita) Seils, Jason (Rachael) Seils, and Nicole Seils; and a much-loved great-grandfather to Addison, Cayden, Jaxon and Levi. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Robert; and sister, Marjorie. Visitation will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 6, 2014 at Heritage Funeral Home, 9200 S. 27th St., in Oak Creek.
