Beloved husband of Lorraine for 45 years. Loving father of William Garvey II, Timothy (Angela) Garvey, and Natalie Garvey. Proud grandfather of Mika, Willow, and Wesley. Brother of Thomas (Amy) Garvey, Fred Garvey, Jim Garvey, and the late Sally Clifton. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Bill was a member of White Lake Presbyterian Church. He loved singing in the church choir and working on cars. He will always be remembered for his talent in growing giant pumpkins and being the man who could fix anything. Many of his great pumpkins won awards at both the Michigan State Fair and many other city fairs. He proudly took one of his pumpkins to New York City to show his patriotism after 9/11. He will be very much missed by all.
A private cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be held on September 28 at White Lake Presbyterian at 10 a.m. for greeting and services at 11 a.m.
Memorial contributions are suggested to the National MS Society.
