A Celebration of Life for William Rogers, 67, of Perry will be held Friday from 6-8 p.m. at the Proletariat at 1213 Second St. in downtown Perry.
Bill passed away at home Monday, Nov. 15, 2021, in Perry, Iowa.
Bill was born March 16, 1954, to Robert and Dorothy (Zimmerman) Rogers in Perry.
He attended St. Patrick Catholic School and graduated from Perry High School in 1972.
Bill was a brakeman for the Milwaukee Railroad and then worked as a maintenance mechanic for several companies. He was a skilled welder and owned “Weld known William,” a portable welding service.
He was always willing to help family and friends.
Bill enjoyed his 750 Honda bored out to an 856, vans and a jet boat, which helped him earn the nickname “Mad Dog.” In his later years, it turned into “Happy Cat.”
William is survived by his sisters, Patricia (Mark) Taylor, Roberta LeMaster and Mary Ann Rogers; along with their families.
His parents precede him in death.
The Celebration of Life will be hosted by Keith Davis and Jim Bach and will feature plenty of Budweiser “in a can,” just the way Bill liked it!
