Bill worked at a couple of different vocations until he started his career as an insurance and benefit specialist. In July of 2003 he started his own agency, Benefit Design Associates in DePere, which he owned and operated until the time of his death. He married the former Margaret "Peg" Nagan on May 20, 1989, in DePere, and they were blessed with 33 years of marriage.
Bill was a grill master who loved to cook for anyone who would eat it. He also baked wonderful pies and breads. He loved everything about the outdoors which included golfing, fishing, skiing and grouse hunting and he was a longtime member of the Ruffed Grouse Society. He pitched fast-pitch softball for many years and he enjoyed playing pool with family and friends. Bill had a passion for music of any kind, especially good guitar players and the big band music of the '40s. He was a motorcycle enthusiast and loved his Honda Goldwing. He also enjoyed the summer camping trips with his wife, Peg.
Bill is survived by his wife Peg (Nagan) Wanie, his son David Wanie, his grandson Darien Riemer, his sister Carol Vengrowsky; nieces, nephews, other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.
