William Munger

Cheshire-William "Bill" Munger, Sr., age 92, entered into rest on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at Midstate Medical Center in Meriden. He was the beloved husband of Rachel Scott Munger, and has been a Cheshire resident for 66 years. Bill was born on March 19, 1921 in New Haven, son of the late Clarence D. and Gussie Dowd Munger.

Bill was proud to be an Industrial Electrician with IBEW Local 90 his entire working life. He grew up on the shore living in Branford and Guilford. Bill enjoyed boating with his family and later in life RVing with Rachel throughout the U.S. making lifelong friends at every stop along the way. He was a handyman who created displays around their home, including their remarkable 'Memory Lane'. Bill's voice may have been gruff, but his heart was pure gold. Special thanks to neighbors, friends and extended 'family' for all your kind thoughts and deeds during Bill's illness.

Besides his wife, Bill is survived by his loving daughter, Elizabeth Jones and her husband A.J. of WV; a daughter-in-law, Joan Munger of Wallingford; foster daughter, Linda Clark; and his cherished granddaughter, Rachel Ramsey and her husband Alan. He was predeceased by his son William Munger, Jr.
