William ("Bill") Eugene Wrobel
September 21, 1947 - February 1, 2022
Bill Wrobel passed from this life on February 1, 2022 with Christine, his wife
of 51 years, holding his hand and humming "The Twelfth of Never" (their
song since high school).
Bill was born and raised in Syracuse, New York, attended St. Anthony of
Padua School, and graduated from Christian Brothers Academy, Syracuse
University and New York University. His work life involved civil and
environmental engineering projects in New York, New Jersey, Washington
State, Southern California, Alaska and Louisiana.
After their professional careers, Bill and Chris moved to the Olympic
Peninsula of Washington State. Bill took up fly fishing, and continued his
activities as a Master Gardener (for 40 years) and was actively involved in
Tax Aid, City of Sequim Parks Board, the Sequim Botanical Garden, the
KONP Radio garden show, KSQM Radio, the Shipley Senior Center, and
solving computer problems. He thrived on meeting people, learning of
their interests, and having earnest conversations on all manner of topics.
Bill is survived by his wife, Christine Clarry Wrobel, and his brother, Patrick
Wrobel of Syracuse. He was predeceased by his parents, William Joseph
Wrobel and Marion Elizabeth Griffin Wrobel.
Bill & Christine are forever grateful for the kindness and care given by the
medical professionals at the Olympic Medical Centers and Jamestown
Family Health Clinic for the past 16 years.
