William was cremated.
William Donald Koper of Erie, PA entered this world on January 12, 1954 and transitioned from this life surrounded by the ones he laughed with, lived for and loved.
He was predeceased by his parents Casimir (Larry) and Elizabeth (Pawlak) Koper and by his sister Barbara Root. His English Mastiff, Sir Geoffrey Chaucer, also preceded him in death.
Bill embraced his Polish heritage, his Catholic faith and the core values instilled by his family. He demonstrated daily how to preserve through adversity. His family benefited from his strength of spirit, his humor and his views of the world.
A Gannon University graduate with a degree in Business Management, his career primarily encompassed production/plant organizational duties, most recently at General Electric.
An avid golfer and frequent EDGA amateur golf participant, he won the Lawrence Park Club Championship twice – ten years apart. He also achieved 4 aces in his golf career. Despite stiff competition from his sons, the yearly July 4th golf challenge had Bill winning handily every summer, in spite of not swinging a club for years.
Bill is survived by his wife of 38 years, Darcy, and his beloved sons Jordan and Jarrett of Erie, PA. A sister Sally Glance, brothers Larry (Linda) and Ron Koper, his brother-in-law Gary Root, sister-in-law Kym Antonelli, his Goldendoodle Saxxon (Boggy), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
The RCC staff of Nicole Daugherty and Dr. David Seastone treated Bill with dignity, kindness, and respect. However, we cannot forget the Infusion staff on the 6th floor at UPMC Hamot. You are Bill’s heroes.
Private visitation will be on Thursday, June 4, 2020 from 5 p.m. until the time of private funeral service at 7 p.m.
