I began my plumbing apprenticeship with Ray Gramley at Gramley Plumbing & Heating in 1957, and after his retirement, Duane (Jake) Boos and I took over, keeping the Gramley name until 1969 when I officially established 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 working alongside me during summers and holidays since he was fourteen and holds an Accounting degree from North Park in Chicago.
He requested to join me after graduation ""until he determined his direction,"" and luckily for me and my clients, he decided to follow in my footsteps and take over the family business.
Born and raised in Freeport, I graduated from FHS in 1957 and began my plumbing apprenticeship with Gramley Plumbing, taking over the business in 1959 when Ray retired and officially renaming it Bill George Plumbing in 1969.
When asked how long I've been in business, I can honestly say it's well over 50 years!
For 55 years, I've been married to my high school sweetheart, Judy Bloyer, 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.
When I'm not working, I love spending time with my black lab, Charlie (and Judy, of course) at our peaceful retreat by a lake in Wisconsin.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Lynn E.He doesn't return phone calls. I called and talked to secretary 3 times, she said he had the message. He had worked in house weeks earlier for realtor, but k guess he wasn't interested..
Kenneth G.I called Judy today and said I had a lazy stool & had company coming from out of state. She said she would ask Kevin and call me either way. I got a phone call in about 5 minutes and it was from George he said he would be in Shannon IL in 30 minutes. He was and fixed the problem the same day for me. That is the BEST service one could ever ask for. Our local plumber would not give me the time of day or referral to someone that could help. I should have known better as I had Bill George Plumbing hook up my hot water heater this year. You can Not get better service than that. Thank you Bill George Plumbing & Heating
Bruce R.This company was top notch. I call they come and make it happen. We had some type of a block they spent the time necessary to make sure we were all fixed up. The price was spot on and the customer service at the highest quality . I would recommend this plumbing company to anyone.
Jesse M.Terrible. Quoted me for moving my bathroom toilet and sink as we expanded our bathroom. Charged extra for setting the toilet and sink when they were informed they would be setting these when they gave the quote. Also left the old pipes under the house in the crawl space.
