William "Bill" Joseph Wescott

    William Joseph “Bill” Wescott, 55, of Lexington, Nebraska, died Thursday, October 12, 2017, at his home in Lexington.   Bill was born April 27, 1962, in Ballston Spa, New York, to Donald Lee and Mary Elizabeth (Rooke) Wescott. He graduated from North Platte high school in 1980. Following graduation he worked mainly as a manager in the restaurant field.   Bill spent his life bringing the joy of laughter to so many of his friends; you may have shared time with him dancing, or bowling or a game of cards. Just give him a fishing pole and his brother Rick and he were happy men.   He shared a special bond with his brother Rick, as he did with each of his brothers, a trait that was instilled by his parents, in all five of their boys.   Bill enjoyed playing Texas Hold ‘em, bowling, and was “Uncle Bill” to all the kids. He loved music, anything from classical to rock ‘n roll. He was a member of the Lutheran faith.   His health did force him to retire as he suffered from Diabetes. He will be so very missed.   Bill leaves behind his parents, David (Mary Elizabeth Rooke) Sederlin of Wyoming, MN; his brothers, Ricky (Tammy) of Lexington, NE, Gerald (Chuck) Wescott of Richmond, CA, David E. (Ellen) Sederlin of Champlin, MN, Michael (Veronica) Sederlin of North Platte, NE, Donald Wescott of NY, Robert Wescott of NY, and sisters, Rhonda Wescott of NY, and Erica (Dan) Collins of Ballston Spa, NY; cousin, Roger (Tonya) Rooke of Ballston Spa, NY, who was like a brother to Bill. He also leaves to mourn his passing, numerous nieces, nephews, that he loved dearly, and his sweet great niece, Sadie Elizabeth Lewendowski, who lit up his life with her ability to debate at three years of age.   Bill was preceded in death by his father Donald and his wife Ollie; and brother, Carl.   Funeral Services will be held Saturday, October 21, 2017, at 10:30 a.m. at Reynolds-Love Funeral Chapel in Lexington with Pastor William Ohlmann officiating.   Visitation will be the evening prior on October 20, 2017, from 5-7 p.m. at the Reynolds-Love Funeral Chapel.   Memorials are suggested to the family for later designation.   It was Bill’s wishes that his body be cremated following the funeral service. A private family service with his ashes will be held at a later date.   Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington is honored to be assisting the family with arrangements.   Please share online condolences with the family by visiting: reynoldslovefuneralhome.com.
