Obituary for William "Bill" Meyer
William "Bill" Meyer, 63, of Montreal, WI passed away unexpectedly at his home Monday night, April 26, 2021.
He was born on September 12, 1957, to William Walter Meyer and Joan Lee Meyer (Jensen) in LaCrosse, WI. Bill grew up in Milwaukee and New Berlin. Bill was a proud member of his high school basketball team. He was also a student at the University of Minnesota.
Bill had a passion for construction, home improvement; and he loved working with his hands. He spent his career in home center management and the remodeling industry.
Bill was an avid hunter and fisherman with a strong belief in conservation. He had a love for Wisconsin sports, particularly the Badgers, Packers, Bucks, and Brewers. He was also a fan of Indy and NASCAR racing. Bill was an animal advocate and rescued many beloved pets over the years. He leaves behind fur babies Maggie, Cossette, Marabel, What…, and Hazel. Bill discovered the hobby of winemaking and often included locally self-foraged ingredients.
He married Susanne Zimmerman of Loves Park, IL on September 28, 2001, at The Gile Waterfall on the Montreal River dressed in camouflage. Special guest was a Montreal River otter who showed up when champagne was served. He and Susanne settled in Montreal where they enjoyed building strong friendships with their neighbors and community. They particularly enjoyed building their life together in the north woods of Wisconsin.
