William "Bill" E. Zeis' Obituary

Bill had a love for music that only those who shared the same deep passion could truly understand. He spent countless hours playing his guitars and listening to all his favorite songs. For many years, Bill was the bass guitarist in a band and had the thrilling experience of opening Blue Oyster Cult once. Music was a huge part of who Bill was, and he will be forever remembered for it.
