Mom & Dad on Boat
It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of their beloved William James “Billy” Staudt on September 24, 2015 following a lengthy battle with Cancer.

Billy was a member of Annunciation of the Lord Catholic Church. He was an outdoor enthusiast-hunting, fishing, camping, & riding four wheelers. He enjoyed restoring classic cars and trucks with his family, and he spent much of his time in his or his Dad’s shop tinkering on a variety of projects. Billy had a brilliant mind and loving heart.
