William 'Bill' Schnakenberg, 67, was suddenly taken from us on March 18, 2008 at his home in Overgaard, Arizona. Bill was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 24, 1940. After graduating from ASU he was a successful entrepreneur and builder. He had a passion for trains, lighthouses, computers and especially his grandchildren. He was a devoted husband, loving father, wonderful Papa and an amazing friend. He is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Mary Lou; three daughters, Michele Stephens, Nicole Boe and Paulie Schnakenberg; three beautiful grandchildren, Braden Boe 8, Corbin Boe 5 and Ryan Stephens 2; and two younger brothers Nick Schnakenberg and Rich Schnakenberg.
