William (Bill) Begeske, age 91 of Schererville, formerly Calumet City, passed away on March 10, 2021. Bill married his longtime love, “Chooch”, Ruth, on September 9, 1950. Together they raised 8 children. Bill retired from Inland Steel in 1992. He is survived by children, Bob (Glenda), Kathy (John) Pawlak, Marcie Blystone, Ruth (Royce) Hebbard, Barney (Shelly), Matt (Shelly), 11 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and special niece, Suzie (John) Lyneis. Preceded in death by his wife, Ruth; his sons, Bill and Bruce; grandson, Bert Blystone; daughter-in-law, Tracy. Bill’s passions were his family, bowling, golf, a fine meal and cheap red wine – a quaff, if you will! Per his wishes, Bill will be cremated with no memorial – just raise a “quaff” in his honor. If desired, donations to Hospice of Calumet Area, 600 Superior Avenue, Munster, IN 46321.
