Age 70, of St. Paul, Minnesota Passed away on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 Bill was born on November 4, 1953 in St. Paul, MN to William and Adele (Hallquist) Gustafson. He was a longtime resident of St. Paul.

Bill got arough hand dealt to him in his life, never blessed with the intellect or abilities that so many have. Yet his life was filled with fun and the joy he experienced. Never remorseful or begrudging of his lot, always upbeat and looking on the bright side. He loved his church and Sunday Worship, almost as much as he loved playing "Candyland" with his most treasured niece, Violet.

Bill’s most special place was the family cabin on Bay Lake. That is surely what his Heaven would be for him. He was preceded in death by his parents. Bill is survived by his brother Steve (Eileen McCormick) Gustafson; niece Grace (Matthew Kopp) Gustafson; nephew McCormick (Lauren) Gustafson; grandniece Violet Lindahl; cousins Julie, Jane and Jay; and friends Candy, Debbie, and Linda.

A private memorial service will be held by the family. Many thanks to the entire staff at the Harbors Senior Living Community for the excellent care given to Bill. He considered Harbors his "home" and spoke of his wish to get back there even as he was passing. Many thanks!
