William "Billy" Kratzer

William J. "Billy" Kratzer, 54, of Moore Twp., passed away while surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, June 15, 2025 at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Hecktown Oaks. He was the husband of Tammy Kratzer (Kish) to whom he was married to for 25 years. Born in Fountain Hill, William was the son of the late Diana (Fartun) Kratzer and Joseph Kratzer (and his wife, Joanne Kratzer) of Whitehall.

Billy was a hardworking and skilled tradesman in the concrete industry. With strong hands and an even stronger work ethic, he poured not only foundations, sidewalks, and structures-but also pride into everything he did. His legacy is built into the very ground he worked, and in the lives of those who admired his commitment and strength. Outside of work, he was an avid enthusiast of various pastimes, finding joy and camaraderie in activities such as shooting pool and darts at the Bath Fire Social Hall, where he was a valued member. William had a passion for motorcycles and was a devoted fan of NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte, as well as the Washington Commanders and the rock band AC-DC. His love for the outdoors was reflected in his enthusiasm for hunting and fishing, and he cherished the tranquility of golfing on sunny days.

In addition to his wife and father, He will be dearly missed by his aunt and uncle: Rita & Bill Subjin of Bethlehem; mother-in-law: Elaine Kish of Bath; stepsister: Kathy Dansby of Whitehall; stepbrothers: Michael Stephens and Joseph Stephens, both of Allentown; brother-in-law: Robert Kish Jr. of Bath; cousins: Kevin Kratzer, Krystal Hoffman, Kent Kratzer, Keith Kratzer, Michael Subjin, David Subjin , Janet Heimbach; many nieces & nephews. Billy was predeceased by grandfathers: William Fartun & Charles Prestosh; aunt: Cathy Fartun; grandmother: Catherine R. Fartun-Prestosh; father-in-law: Robert Kish, Sr.
