William Earl Bostwick

William Earl Bostwick, 82, of Allen Park, went home to be with the Lord on June 25, 2022. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence M, and Ona A. Bostwick and a sister, Beatrice M. Bostwick. He is survived by his brothers Paul D., Lloyd L. (wife Betty), and Daniel M. (wife Judi); and an abundance of nieces and nephews. Bill was born January 15, 1940 in Wyandotte, MI.
