During his working years, Bill was employed by both Henkel and Stiefel Labs.Bill's main objective on his journey in life, was to make those whom he came in contact with smile, laugh and feel good about their memories together. He was a person who made every day brighter just by being a part of it.

He is survived by his daughter Deborah Bendel (Kerry) of Westerlo, his sons, William G. Reinecke, IV, of Rensselaerville, NY and Paul Scutt of Philadelphia, PA; and his former wife, Ellen Reinecke of Rensselaerville, NY. His grandchildren: Kiersten Bates (Keith), Alyssa Bendel (Rich Darling), and Kerry Bendel, Jr. (Kait). He is also survived by his great grandchildren, who were his treasure: Kaelynn and Kelso Bates, Laikyn and RJ Darling and Kolten Bendel. Bill is also survived by his loving sister, Diane Reinecke Huber of Ormond Beach, FL.
