William L. Shoffstall, 86, of Frederick, passed away unexpectedly on September 21, 2020. He was the beloved husband of Patricia R. (Patton) Shoffstall. Born in Kulpmont, he was a son of the late George and Nellie (Kulp) Shoffstall and later the stepson of the late Catherine Shoffstall. Bill was a graduate of Dairy Township / Yeagerstown High School. He was a member of the ELKS Club, coached baseball, football and worked as a self-employed contractor in the Pottstown area for over 30 years. After retiring from his own business Bill went on to work for Pebble Pools for many years. Anyone who knew Bill knew that he never truly retired, he never stopped moving a day in his life. Bill was a stranger to no none and a friend to all. He had a way of taking over the room, Bill knew how to make everyone feel loved and important. He was a stubborn man who always stayed true to what he believed. He knew how to run a kitchen as well and wouldn’t let anyone else take over his domain. Most of all Bill was a devout family man who loved his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. No matter the circumstance or situation he was always there for his family.
