William F. Nobbe

William F. Nobbe, 82, of Waterloo, IL, died peacefully in his home August 9, 2023, in Waterloo, IL. He was born March 17, 1941, in E. St. Louis, IL.

 William is survived by his wife of 61 years Nancy (nee Kleyer), children Dan (Tammy) Nobbe, Russ (Jill) Nobbe, grandchildren Katie, Austin, Grant, and Tess, brother-in-law Virgil Harres, sister-in-law Ellen (Ben) Mayes, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

 He is preceded in death by his daughter Ann Claire Nobbe and parents Walter F. & Norma (nee Lange) Nobbe.

 He was the founder of Annbriar Golf Course. Prior to that, he owned Nobbe Chevrolet-Buick.

           William possessed a larger than life personality with boundless charisma. He was the center of attention, and people were drawn to him. He was happiest when making other people happy with a joke or a story and went out of his way to make this happen. He loved his time with family and friends including grandchildren’s ball games, playing cards, playing golf, hunting, fishing and last but not least dancing. He lived in the moment and made the most of every day. He was a beloved friend and will be missed by many.
