William (Bill) Lauck was born in Fresno Ca on April 18, 1942, to parents George and Molly Lauck, and passed away peacefully on September 16, 2023.

Bill grew up in Fresno and started working in the family business known as Lauck's Bakery. He started as a young child standing on a crate and started helping by decorating cupcakes. He worked among the best bakers and cake decorators. He graduated from Bullard High class of 1960 while still working at the bakery. He would continue his education at Fresno City College and then completed the Dunwoody Baking Program in Minneapolis. MN. It was apparent the bakery was continuing to thrive, and he wanted to contribute to his parent's bakery. He became one of the best bakers and cake decorators in the bakery business.

He also was a member of the Fresno Radio Modelers Club since the 1960's and began his love of building and flying Ucontrol and radio-controlled airplanes back when he was 12 years old and continued his hobby until a couple years ago. He had an endless list of hobbies and there was nothing he couldn't do.

He also loved conversations with family and friends on any subject and didn't know a stranger, everyone was a friend.

He was a past member of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry and the Masonic Lodge following in his father's footsteps.

He would later meet the love of his life Beverly and they would become inseparable. They enjoyed their trips to Carmel and Pacific Grove and weekend adventures to antique shows, car shows, and the list goes on.

He also enjoyed taking his three daughters to Santa Cruz and spending the day on the boardwalk and endless rides on the roller coasters.

He is preceded in death by his parents George and Molly Lauck and nephew Kyle Lauck.

He is survived by his beloved wife Beverly Lauck and their three daughters Dena Yarbrough and her Husband Troy of Fresno, Ca and Lori Lauck-Franz of Fresno and Tiffany Lauck of Fresno.

He is survived by his six grandchildren Brandon, Alexis, Jennifer, Cory, Cody, and Kari and survived by his brother Stephen Lauck and his wife Janet of Alamo, Ca, and their family.
