William Zielinski III

William John Zielinski III, 70, became our Angel on Sunday, March 20, 2022. He left peacefully, in the bravest way with the love of his life by his side. Billy, as most called him, was hardworking, kind, and always groovy. His heart was the purest, most unselfish heart we’ve ever known. He would make you laugh at the most unexpected times and his smile was always genuine and true. He loved his family fiercely and did anything to keep them happy and safe. He was the most wonderful husband to his wife of 46 years, Linda. They built a beautiful life together and had two daughters, Heidi and Brittany. He adored his dog and grand dogs, Bruno, Henry Budd, and Nellie Girl. He loved taking Linda out on dates in the Camaro, playing horseshoes with the boys and his sister Mary, shuffleboard at the American Legion, car shows on the weekends, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills. They say that a broken heart is a heart that’s been loved. We take comfort in this, knowing that this hurt is only because there was so much love shared with the most wonderful man we’ve ever known. A celebration of Billy’s life will be held at Menke Funeral Home on Friday, April 22, 2022 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, friends may contact the Zielinski family regarding a Billy Zielinski Memorial Horseshoe Pit.
