In 1957, I started my plumbing apprenticeship with Ray Gramley at Gramley Plumbing & Heating. Following his retirement, I joined forces with Duane (Jake) Boos to take over, maintaining the Gramley name until 1969 when I launched Bill George Plumbing.
Thus, even though this name has existed for 44 years, I can truthfully state that I have been dedicated to the good folks of northwest Illinois for more than 50 years.
Approaching retirement, my oldest grandson, Kyle Williams, is slowly taking the reins.
He has been by my side during summers and holidays since he was fourteen and graduated with an Accounting degree from North Park in Chicago.
After graduation, he asked to work with me ""until he decided on his future,"" and fortunately for me and my customers, he opted to become a plumber and eventually lead the family business.
A lifelong Freeporter, I graduated from FHS in 1957 and became an apprentice plumber with Gramley Plumbing, purchasing the business in 1959 when Ray retired and officially rebranding as Bill George Plumbing in 1969.
If you ask me how many years I've been in business, I can truthfully say it's more than 50!
Married to my high school sweetheart, Judy Bloyer, for 55 years since 1958, we have two daughters, Heidi (Dave) Williams and Kathy (Scott) King, four grandsons: Kyle (Amber) and Danny Williams, Christopher and Matthew King, one son, Billy (Catherine), and our great-granddaughter, Finley.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my black lab, Charlie (and of course, Judy) at our serene lakeside getaway in Wisconsin.
