William Yanchek Obituary

We will never forget our sweet, funny friend! We are forever grateful to have had him as a friend; for all the wonderful conversations we had and like Bill would say "we could talk forever and never have the same conversations twice." Thank you for cooking those perfect breakfasts! And for loving our family, they all love you. We love you Bill, and will remember the good times!

Aunt Jean,
Sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!!

Dear Aunt Jean, I have many, many humorous memories of the time I spent with both of you. I love you & am praying for you to have peace. Love, Colleen

Dear Aunt Jean, I'm so happy to read all of these posts. I will be forever grateful for how the both of you helped me & protected me when I moved to Colorado. I have many funny memories of you both. I will miss him. I love you & am praying for you to have peace. Love, Colleen

I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I am so glad I was able to come to the house to see him a couple weeks ago. Bill was a super long time friend of my family. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family. I won't be able to attend the service, but the memories will last forever.

Grandpa, I have so many memories! The Valley Forge Army Hospital stories, delivering mail to me, the rubber band balls, The Lone Ranger, The B-52 Bomber, Spike Jones, baseball in the back yard, Lawn mower rides, Major Payne, Wheaties, Pancakes, "shaving", Poker nights, The Lincoln Memorial, The St. Louis Arch, my first car, Brandon's Wedding...

You were there for all my graduations, for all my accomplishments, and all my failures so far. You held my hand when I was afraid of the lightening, and took me to see air shows at the Air Force Academy. Even as I got older, you were always there for a life lesson, or a hug. Even when you were in the hospital and barely able to move, you gave me a hug...

I will miss you...so much, but luckily enough, you passed on enough of your knowledge to me that I feel like you're always with me, and for that, I am forever grateful. You taught me to count my pennies, and to make careful decisions rather than hasty or rash ones, and you showed me how to live life as a respectable man. And like you asked me to, before I left after seeing you for the last time, I will take care of grandma and my mom.

I love you, grandpa...pop pop....and I always will...and I will continue to make you proud...

The next time I see a dandelion, I'll make sure to rub it under my chin... :)

Jean, I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I have so many memories of you and Bill over the years. Having coffee and breakfast at your house, of Bill on the floor playing playing with Jeff when Jeff was just a little guy. He will be sorely missed! You are in our thoughts and prayers, always.

Although I never had the privilage of meeting him I've heard enough about him from my Dad and Joan to know he had a great sense of humor and was the perfect husband for you.

Nobody could light up a room like you, Uncle Bill. Your mentoring, invaluable. Those four days in November with you and Aunt Jean were the best. When you came to Pennsylvania it was always a special occasion for all of us. I'm so proud of you and will fondly spread your tales the rest of my days. Rest in Peace my friend. Mark Yanchek & family.

Dear Aunt Jean and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Praying for Comfort in your Memories of Uncle Bill and Peace knowing he is at Rest. God Bless you! We love you! Tess and Sonny

Aunt Jean - I'm thinking of you and sending my prayers to both you and Uncle Bill. He was a character and I'm sure you will miss the laughter he must have given you all these years. Take care and I hope to see you soon here in Lancaster.

Uncle Bill - I remember fondly your intelligence and humor. It was always fun when you came to Lancaster to visit our family. Bill Myers, Jr.

Always enjoyed your humor Uncle Bill. God Bless you Aunt Jean, we love you.
