William "Bill" J. Behling, Jr.
Winneconne, Wisconsin

William "Bill" J. Behling, Jr. age 59, of Winneconne, passed away unexpectedly Monday, December 7, 2009, at home. He was born September 16, 1950 in Milwaukee to the late William, Sr. and Tillie (Kratchy) Behling. Bill served in the U.S. Army in the DMZ in Korea from 1967 until 1970. On June 5, 1999, he married Theresa Keller Thompson. For the past 12 years Bill has been employed as a truck driver with Chief Industrial Services in Winneconne. He was a member of the Winneconne Masonic Lodge #186. Bill was a great hearted person who will be missed by his family and friends. He loved his truck-driving and also enjoyed the art of cooking and grilling. For anyone that was not able to partake in one of his "homecookins", they missed out on a good meal.
