Bill passed away in his sleep on Dec. 2, 2013. He is now dancing with his wife in heaven.
He was born In Chicago, IL to the late Ignatz and Philippina Andritch on January 22, 1924. Bill graduated school from De LaSalle High School and went to college in Winona, Minnesota. On a trip from the west coast to home he ran out of money in Denver where he met his wife Sue and they were married January 29, 1944. After a few years in Chicago they returned to Denver to live.
Bill was a professional photographer, excelling in getting babies to laugh and candid weddings. Many people still display the beautiful and unique portraits he did. He was a member of the Eagles, and a travel club. He and Sue loved taking mystery trips. They were usually short and all they knew was what kind of clothing to take. He belonged to a bowling league through his church and along with his wife did many social activities with the friends they made there. Making bread was one of his passions. He went through four bread-making machines. Each new machine had to have the recipe perfected all over again. He took bread as a gift to many places.
His son Terry, and his daughter Diane survive Bill, 3 grandchildren and 2 ½ great grandchildren also survive him. His family was important to him and he had a great relationship with his nephews, nieces and great nephews and nieces.
