Bill loved all aspects of farming from tilling the land to milking cows to raising his poultry. His motto was faith, family, and farming, in that order. Bill’s vast knowledge in many areas was often sought after by his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was both our rock and our role model; a very loving man that would do anything for his family. His favorite times were spent at family gatherings with a big spread of our favorite foods.

At Bill’s request, private services will be held. He will be laid to rest in Lake View Memorial Park, Oshkosh, next to his parents.
Special thanks to Rev. Steve Davidson for visiting and acknowledging the past generations of the Zwicky family as one of the founding fathers of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ; which Bill was proud to tell about.

Dad, you will be greatly missed and forever in all of our hearts. Rest easy, ‘you’ve done good’
