Those who knew him knew he was someone who could always be relied on and trusted, and he absolutely loved life.

Bill was born March 19th, 1948 in Round Lake, IL to Erich L. and Gertrude (Dash) Manke. He was baptised and confirmed in the Lutheran faith in Chicago, IL.
Bill was a proud veteran serving during the Vietnam war from March 28th, 1968 and honorably discharged March 19th, 1970. During that time Bill was awarded the National Defense Medal, Marksman with grenade launcher, pistol and rifle, and Good Conduct Award.

His retirement allowed more time to be outside on his farm. During Bill and Darlene’s 54 years of marriage 4 children were born, then 8 grandchildren.
Bill had a wonderful gift of gab. He made many friends throughout the years and could carry on a conversation with a complete stranger. Bill was always willing and ready to help wherever he was needed and remained true to his christian faith.
To the man that could make anyone laugh in a room full of sadness, to the guy that always had a smile on his face and always showed up to places at the strangest times.
He could brighten your day with his jokes and awkward sayings. He was truly our rock and a person to look up to. We know you will be looking down watching over your family and friends. You will still be the grandkids biggest fan as you watch each one of them accomplish so much. We all will continue to look up to your christian driven personality and stubborn self. This is not a goodbye, it’s a see you later grandpa.
