Obituary for William Joseph Bromley
William “Bill” Joseph Bromley, 57, of Manistee, lost his battle to cancer July 15, 2020 at home with family by his side. He was a selfless, loving and brave Husband, Father and Grandfather.
Bill was born in Manistee October 9, 1962 to Marion “Mike” and Barbara Bromley. He graduated from Manistee High School, class of 1980. He went on to hold several different jobs, in all different fields. He was exceptionally skilled with small engines and mechanics but would consider himself “master of everything”. Bill was truly a fixer of all things.
The things that brought him the most joy was spending time with his family, his Grandsons, fishing, music, playing the guitar, road trips, family picnics and holiday parties, sweets, Folgers coffee, a pack of Kool’s, the occasional white Russian, and so many more. If he was with his family or friends, he was happy. He had an endless number of stories, which he told with an infectious smile and contagious laugh. He would do absolutely anything for anyone who needed him.
Bill is survived by his wife, Lori; daughters Danielle (Troy) Hild, Abigail (Travis) Hubbard, and Miranda Bromley; Grandsons Silas Hild and William “Willford” Hubbard; siblings Al Bromley and Penny Pepera; several nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, in-laws, and close friends.
He was preceded in death by his father Marion, mother Barbara, father-in-law Darwin Schimke, and mother-in-law Gloria Schimke.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, July 21, at 11:00 AM at Oak Grove Funeral Home in Manistee, MI officiated by his cousin Pastor Dennis Bromley where friends may begin calling at 10:00 AM. There will also be a visitation Monday, July 20, from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Oak Grove Funeral Home. His final place of rest will be at the Oak Grove Cemetery in Manistee, MI.
