Born William Henry Engelland on October 29, 1972, at Misawa Air Base, Japan, he was preceded in death by his beloved grandparents, Hazel and Henry Engelland earlier in 2007.  He is survived by his father, Roy (Holly) of Two Rivers, mother, Susan Winstead and grandmother, Michiyo Winstead  both of Wisconsin Dells and a younger brother, John (Sheri) in Boulder, CO., as well as his aunts and uncles all in Wisconsin; Carol (Mike) Moore of Two Rivers, Janet (Wayne) Hansen of Manitowoc and Mary (Greg) Behnke of  Mishicot.  He is also survived by a special circle of cousins; Kris Remiker and Brent (Melissa) Behnke of Two Rivers, Phil (Deb) Hansen of Sheboygan, Heidi (Shawn) Smith of Green Bay, Jodi (Ryan) Ketterer of Marshfield, Molly (Jim) Peterson of Manitowoc, Mindy (John) Gardner of DePere and Cammy Moore of Milwaukee and all their children who held a special place in Bill’s heart.  A Wisconsin Dells High School graduate, Bill’s great passion was hockey.  He sustained his love for the sport as a player, as a coach and worked many years in many capacities with the Sauk Prairie Hockey Association even while his declining health challenged his participation.  Those who knew him through hockey described Bill as always having a grin and an encouraging word. Parents of children he coached share wonderful stories of how he nurtured and inspired young hockey players.  Bill will be remembered for how he shared his passion for hockey and how he enjoyed life and people.  We will miss Bill.
