Bill always did everything in his power to make sure his family was taken care of.

Family to Receive Friends on June 18, 2019 at 6:00 pm with a Remembrance beginning at 7:00 pm.

William (Bill) Dale Grissinger, age 65, passed away unexpectedly and peacefully in his home on the morning of Tuesday, June 11th, 2019. He was born in Lancaster on September 12, 1954, and was the son of Edward and Dorothy Grissinger. He grew up on Grubb Lake and was a graduate from Hempfield High School in 1973. He worked at Armstrong for 25 years and then worked at F.L. Smith, Inc. for the last 17 years.

Bill embodied what is truly meant to be a cowboy. If you knew Bill in his younger years, you'd know that he was a "wild bull" who lived to ride and rode to live. he didn't take any lip from anyone, and that's how he earned his nickname "Mad-Dog." But if you gave him respect, he would give it right back, that was the type of man he was. However, his love for Harley's, Women, and Beer was nothing compared to the love he had for his family. He made a countless number of sacrifices, and always did everything in his power to make sure that his family was taken care of.

Bill is survived by his two brothers, Levi and George, his four sisters, Alma, Bertha, Dottie and Shirley, his three children Susan, Scott, and Mike, and his five grandchildren, Austin, Sierra, Cameron, Ayden and Rylie.

Family and friends will be received at the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, Inc., 519 Walnut Street, Columbia, PA 17512 on Tuesday evening, June 18, 2019 beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a time of sharing and remembrance beginning at 7:00 p.m. Donations may be made in Bill's memory to the Donegal Braves, PO BOX 402, Mount Joy, PA 17552.
