William Ebner
William “Bill” Ebner, 70, of North Strabane, passed away peacefully in his residence Thursday, February 14, 2019, surrounded by his loving family.
Bill was born July 15, 1948, in Flushing, N.Y., to Martha and Wallace Ebner. The oldest of five boys, he graduated from Amityville High School in 1966, before earning his bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Syracuse University in 1970.
As a licensed professional engineer, Bill was a member of the Association for Iron and Steel Technology and worked primarily in the steel industry. He retired as vice president of Paul Wurth USA in 2015.
Bill was an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church in McMurray, participating in men’s groups, stewardship and finance committees; recently, he was instrumental in the completion of the newest building addition. Bill showed God’s love to all he knew. Many people will remember him for his signature hearty handshake.
Bill married the love of his life, Kathleen M. “Kathy” Kane, in June 1970. They raised three children in Level Green. He is survived by his wife, Kathy, and three children, Christopher (Jennie) of Butler, Scott (Dan Dona) of Boston, Mass., and Sarah Scott (Andy) of Ellsworth; eight grandchildren, Courtney, Noel, Amelia, John, Sadie, William, Oliver and Theodore; four brothers, Douglas (Denise), Timothy (Carolyn), Wallace Jr. (Nancy) and Robert (Cindy); and many loving nieces and nephews.
The family gratefully acknowledges the compassionate care of the AHN Hospice and a supportive church family.
