History
Established in 1969.
I started my plumbing apprenticeship under the auspices of Ray Gramley, Gramley Plumbing & Heating, in 1957 and when he retired, Duane (Jake) Boos and I purchased it, keeping the Gramley name until 1969 when I officially became Bill George Plumbing. So even though this name has been around for 44 years, I can honestly say I've served the good people of northwest Illinois for over 50 years.
As I approach retirement, my oldest grandson, Kyle Williams, is gradually taking over. He's been working with me summers and holidays since he was fourteen and has a degree in Accounting from North Park in Chicago. He asked if he could work with me after graduation "until he decided what he wanted to do" and fortunately for me and for all my customers, he decided he wanted to become a plumber and eventually take over the family business.
Meet the Business Owner: Bill G.
A native Freeporter, I graduated FHS in 1957 and became an apprentice plumber with Gramley Plumbing and bought the business in 1959 when Ray retired and officially became Bill George Plumbing in 1969. But when asked how many years I've been in business - I can honestly it's well over 50!
Married for 55 years to my high school sweetheart, Judy Bloyer, since 1958, we have two daughters, Heidi (Dave) Williams and Kathy (Scott) King and four grandsons, Kyle (Amber) and Danny Williams and Christopher and Matthew King, one son, Billy (Catherine) and our great-grandaughter, Finley.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my black lab, Charlie(and Judy, of course) in my own little slice of heaven on a lake in Wisconsin.
