William Carl Gucwa

William Carl Gucwa of Caro, age 76, passed away on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at his home. Bill was born May 9, 1944 in Bad Axe, the son of the late Stanley & Mary (Krause) Gucwa. He graduated from Bad Axe High School with the class of 1963 and was drafted to the U.S. Army shortly after, serving in Alaska. Following his honorable discharge, Bill held several jobs that afforded him the opportunity to attend night school to become a master electrician. He later took a position with Area Electric for twenty-three years until founding his own company, G & G Electric in 1997, a family business where he proudly worked beside his son and grandson. Bill was united in marriage with the former Christine McCullough on August 11, 1973 in Cass City, and she preceded him in death on August 5, 2016. He was a proud member of the National Rifle Association and Sebewaing Knights of Columbus. Bill was happiest outdoors, hunting, fishing, and raising pheasants. Never one to sit still for long, he could often be found tinkering with his tractors or anything else that needed to be fixed. Bill is survived by two children, Danielle Gucwa of Cass City; Scott Gucwa of Caro; three grandchildren, Dalton, Josalyn, and Alexis; four siblings and their spouses, Frances & Lee Kulish of Arkansas, Rose Ann Kline of Midland, Theresa & Ted Grocholski of Linwood, Joseph & Pauline Gucwa of Metamora; many nieces and nephews; and his beloved lab, Frankie. In addition to his parents and wife, Bill was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Lydia Rose Gucwa; and two brothers, Stanley and Johnny Gucwa.
