Amann, William “Bill” passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 5, 2018, at the age of 74. Loving husband and best friend to Dawn Amann. Dear father of Nicole (Grady) Gosser and Wesley Amann. Beloved grandfather to Sophie Gosser. Special brother to Judith (Richard) Klein and uncle to Jeff and Jamey (Farrah) Crubaugh. Preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Loretta Amann, in-laws Hollis and Lillian Knudson and nephew Jason Crubaugh. Although he was taken from us unexpectedly, he left this world a happy and content man, spending his last days with family celebrating Easter, birthdays, and even a Brewers game before being called to heaven by God.
A Memorial Service will be held in his honor on Monday, April 30, 2018, at St. John Vianney Church, 1755 North Calhoun Road, Brookfield, Wisconsin. Gathering will be held from 10:00AM-11:00AM with a mass to follow from 11:00AM-12:00PM. Prayers will be said at St. Joseph Cemetery in Waukesha (S22 W22890 East Broadway) directly following the mass. In lieu of flowers, the family will direct memorials to Bill’s favorite charities.
Bill grew up in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and graduated from Wauwatosa East High School in 1961. He served in the Marines for four years before attending UW-Whitewater where he met his wife of 47 years, Dawn (nee Knudson). He was a member of the Phi Chi Epsilon fraternity and worked for Cummins as a sales rep for many years until he retired.
Bill loved spending time with family. He and Dawn had many fond memories of their summer vacations in Door County, winter vacations in Florida, and great trips to Minneapolis to see their son Wes. Bill enjoyed being with his daughter and family and felt blessed to have them living so close by. His granddaughter Sophie was the special sunshine in his life. He and Dawn loved spending their time together and enjoyed being with friends. You could often see Bill at the neighborhood pool, riding his bike, or on the golf course. He was a staunch supporter of Badger football, the Brewers and the Packers. Bill will be dearly missed and will be remembered by his outgoing personality and kindness to all he encountered. We will continue to hold Bill close to our hearts.
