William G. ‘Bill' Graf, 71, Streeter, North Dakota, died Monday October 18, 2004, at the St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Bill was born January 1, 1932, in Streeter, ND, the son of John Graf and Selma (Rittershaus) Graf. He attended the Streeter Public School and graduated from the Streeter High School in 1951.
He and Esther Remmich were married April 12, 1953, at Streeter, ND. They farmed near Streeter until 1961. Since that time they have owned and operated Wm. Graf Truckline.
Bill was a member of the Hope United Church of Christ in Streeter, ND, and was very active in community affairs. He served as the president of the Streeter City Cemetery Board and was instrumental in establishing the Cemetery Trust Fund. He enjoyed restoring and showing antique cars and was a member of the Wishek Antique Car Club. He was also a member of the Bismarck Elks Lodge.
Bill was very fond of his family, especially his grandson Joe. He always enjoyed giving him rides on all his vehicles, watching him drive the go-cart and helping Joe shine up his new car. He also enjoyed the many hours spent with his grand-nephew, Cody. The time spent visiting with neighbors, friends and extended family were an important part of his life. He was often seen driving his Jeep around town in the summer. His generosity, kindness and sense of humor always showed. During his illness he was always positive and upbeat, making it pleasant for his family and those around him.
Bill will be greatly missed and certainly live on in the hearts of all those who knew him.
