William 'Bill' Muha, 62, of Traverse City, passed away unexpectedly at his home on December 6, 2016.
Bill was born January 9, 1954 to the late Michael and Elizabeth (Schmidt) Muha in the Detroit area.
For the better part of his working career he was a machinist at Century Specialties, after leaving there he became a self employed handyman.
Susan Marie Harris walked into his life and for 44 years he spent his time being with his best friend and the love of his life. She will fondly remember him walking into their home after each day of work with the statement "I'm starving!" His appetite was plentiful but his cooking skills were few.
Bill was a man of many hats. The mentor, the advisor, the counselor, the father to many in the area, the one that made you smile, the life of the party, the jokester, but most of all the dad, the husband, the grandfather and the friend. He was always the first to arrive to help with anything and often the last to leave. A man that would open his door and his fridge for a cold beer to anyone he loved.
He would settle in to any episode of Andy Griffith, or a good western, but what he loved to do most was spend time with his three grandchildren. They were the light of his life and he never missed a moment to be with them.
Bill is survived and missed dearly by his wife, Susan, his son Will (Bethany) Muha and his daughter Heather (Tim) Martin. He is also survived and missed by his three little pals, his grandchildren; Noah, Willie and Brooklyn.
A memorial service to honor the life of Bill will be on Monday December 12, 2016 at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home at 3:00pm with a visiting time one hour prior.
The family would like you to consider contributions to the widow in lieu of flowers. Contributions may be sent to 305 Sixth Street, Traverse City, MI 49684 on behalf of the family.
