William (Bill or Willy) was born April 29, 1946 in Janesville, WI to William and Mattie Haines.

William is survived by his children and their families, Michelle Bunge, Michael (Octavia) Haines and William Haines, his step-children Jim Blank and David Blank, the mother of his children, Barbara Jaeckel, his brother James, and his cat Buddy who he adopted from Touched By A Paw.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

William grew up in Milton, WI.  He graduated from Milton High in 1964.  He loved to tell stories about all the fun he had with his buddies growing up.  They held a very special place in his heart.

William was an avid Brewer, Packer, and Badger fan.  He was a gentle kind soul with big blue eyes and a beautiful smile.  Above all, he was the best dad and he was extremely proud of his children.

Per his wishes, there will be no service.
