William (Bill) Schweigert, 70, passed away at home in Bridgeport, WA. on May 29, 2018, holding the hand of the love of his life, Patti.
Born in Everett, WA. on October 22, 1947 to William and Pearl Schweigert, he graduated from Cascade High School in 1966.
His next venture was two tours of duty in the U.S. Army, with 13 months in Viet Nam.
He then found as he called it home at Boeing Everett plant. He was a hook tender - overhead crane operator for 26 years.
He and Patti were married in 1987 and have never been apart. “A marriage from Heaven”.
They took in many children over the years and loved them all. He always tried to teach them family values, that was his way.
He was a joy to be around and you never knew what was coming up next!
He and Patti retired in 2002 and were traveling snowbirds. They were always on the go and returned home in the summer for family time.
His favorite things to do were to go camping, fishing, partying, and sitting around the campfire with family and friends, especially those grandbabies.
He said retiring at 55 was never a regret - it gave him time for his next love - casino!
