(Died December 5, 2009)

Bill “William” Beaumier, 61, formerly of Green Bay, passed away very unexpectedly in St Louis, Mo., on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2009. Bill was a graduate of Premontre High School and was a member of the Green Bay Local 400 Plumbers and Steamfitters Union where he was currently working as a Welding Superintendent for Cherne Contracting Corporation. He was also an AWS member.

Bill was a fun loving person who was always laughing and telling jokes. He made friends wherever he went. His job took him all over the country. Bill has lived in California, Green Bay and Wausau, Wis., and most recently Edwardsville, Ill. He most recently bought a house in Cape Coral, Fla., with his beloved wife Brenda where they planned to retire and enjoy life to its fullest. Bill loved music, golfing and scuba diving. He was very handy and always puttering with something. He was a kind, loving, generous man and once you met him you would never forget him. The family is devastated by his sudden death and will miss him forever.

Bill is survived by his wife and soul mate, Brenda - Cape Coral, Florida; daughters, Amy (Gary) Arndt - Green Bay, WI, Susan (Paul) Eichelkraut - Grafton, WI; and step-daughter, Nikki Bickel - San Diego, California; his grandchildren, Heather (Dallas) Brooks - Green Bay, WI, Tommy Lasnoski - Green Bay, WI, Jessica and Nicholas Arndt, and Samantha Eichelkraut; his brothers, Rick (Kathy) Beaumier - Green Bay, WI, Gary (Joyce) Beaumier - Oneida, WI; a brother-in-law, Rick Arbegast; and sisters-in-law, Cindy (John) Pauvlinch and Joan Beaumier - Shawano, WI; nephews, Brian, Craig, Bill, David and BJ Beaumier.

Bill will be welcomed into Heaven by his parents, Kay (Stewart) Ross and Louis Beaumier; a brother, Dominick Beaumier; his paternal and maternal grandparents; and his beloved friend, Winston.

Brenda, Amy, Sue and Heather will never be able to express our thanks and gratitude for our angels on earth, Tom Van Oss, Steve Wollum and Roy Sanshuck for all their help while in St. Louis. We couldn’t have done it without you. We know somehow he sent you to help us through it.

A memorial fund has been established.

Forever taken from us forever in our hearts. WE LOVE YOU BILLY, DAD, GRANDPA

Do not stand at my ashes and weep I am not there When missing me dry your tears and remember I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamonds glistening in the snow I am the sunlight on the flowers I am the gentle rain I am the soft star shining at night Don’t worry about me I am with the angels taking flight Do not weep do not cry It’s not the end it’s a new beginning Wipe your tears I love you all I will see you again where we will all soar and fly In heaven with the angels where no one cries
