Passed peacefully at home on February 5, 2022 at the age of 94. Bill was married to the love of his life & his best friend Marion Karnisky for 49 years & is survived by eight children, Jim, Doris, Ann, Margaret, Mark, Don, Joan, & Janet; 15 grandchildren; & 5 great grandchildren.
Bill, a proud Navy Veteran, spent many happy summers with friends & family on Honeoye Lake. He spent over three decades as an analytical chemist at Kodak & retired young. He & Marion were avid birdwatchers & traveled extensively, binoculars in hand, visiting family & exploring new places. In recent years, Bill often remarked with amazement that he had been retired for longer than he worked.
