William III Obituary

William Arthur Franke III, 64, of Billings died peacefully Sunday November 24, 2013 at his home. He was born June 3, 1949, to Bill and Liz Franke in Duluth, Minnesota.

His friends and family will remember his contagious passion for working on cars in his shop where he also enjoyed hanging out with his "buddies." Buzz enjoyed fishing and hunting. Left to cherish his memory is his life companion of 34 years, Sandy Martin; sons Eddie and Ned; and many loving family and friends.
