Obituary for William Fumelle
William (Bouncie) Fumelle, 74, of Oconto, passed away unexpectedly in his home on Wednesday, October 15, 2014. William was born December 16, 1939 in Oconto to the late Lloyd and Clara (LeMay) Fumelle. He married Rosie Belongia on April 25, 1964. Bill retired in 2003 from Northport, Inc. He had previously worked for Cruisers, Inc., Bishop’s Floor Covering, MacQueens Furniture, Green Bay Packaging, and “Bill and Rosie’s” Bar in Oconto. Bill enjoyed playing baseball and fast-pitch softball with all of his friends over the years. He often shared many stories, close to his heart, from each of the various teams and teammates. He was proud to have played for Bill’s Bar, LeMay’s Bar, and Lusier’s Bar. The greatest joys in Bill’s life came from sharing time with his family. His loving wife and best friend, Rosie, was by his side for everything. He believed he had the world’s greatest grandchildren and supported them at countless baseball, football, basketball, track, dance, and preschool events. Bouncie was a man with a heart of gold. The Lord has gained an angel, but the world is a lesser place without him. Bill was a member of Holy Catholic Church, Oconto.
