William “Bill” Finley Robinson II, age 78, passed away on October 13, 2025. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to the late Ruth Peckenpaugh and William Finley Robinson.
Bill was a devoted man of faith and attended Brentwood United Methodist Church with his wife Renee. He previously served as a deacon for the Church of Christ in Louisville KY, where he shared his love of music as a tenor in the choir. His faith guided him throughout his life, and he was known for his kindness, generosity, and steadfast devotion to family and God.
A graduate of Louisville Tech, Bill earned his degree in mechanical engineering designing plant conveyor equipment while working on capital projects. Bill was a Senior Project Manager for over 25 years with extensive experience in Supply Chain, Automotive Manufacturing, Material Handling, and Industrial Construction. He had the knowledge to solve issues with immediate resolutions that satisfy customers in a passionate way.
Bill carried over this unique skill set with the ability to fix anything from cars to household projects and always lent a helping hand to others. He was involved in the Children of the American Revolution organization helping members achieve their project goals. Bill also actively supported his wife in the Daughters of the American Revolution as a husband of the organization (“HODAR”).
Bill found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved spending time outdoors grilling, gardening, fishing, or golfing, and he cherished time at the beach or by the pool. His faithful dog, Lacey, was never far from his side. Music filled his heart, and his voice was a gift to all who heard it.
Bill was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend who will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for his faith, warmth, and laughter.
In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by his sister, Sherry Carpenter.
