William H. Habermas

September 14, 1946 - September 16, 2020

William H. Habermas, age 74, of Holly, died Wed. Sept. 16, 2020. William "Buster" was born in Highland Park on Sept. 14, 1946. He mixed into the McGinnis Home in 2002 and remained there until his passing. William was a very educated man. He knew something about everything and would always tell you "I know everything". He loved to watch Channel 7 News to keep up with the world. He once attended a rally speaking up on health care cuts, making sure his voice was heard. William loved cars. He enjoyed Back to the Bricks and would reminisce about the old cars he had when he was younger. William also loved his beer. He would ask and make sure his beer was in the icebox after a long day at day program. Over the years at the McGinnis Home, he had many special housemates, but he really loved Susan. Susan was his sweet heart. He always said he was gonna marry her every weekend. He wanted her to get a job at Meijer stocking shelves and they would live together on their own. William was very close to many caregivers over the years, calling you "Buster" if he liked you. He also had a best friend John. He would always tell John secrets and have John put on his house shoes. William and John would sit outside under the shade tree and talk guy talk. If you upset William, look out , he would tell John to fire you. He wasn't afraid to fire you on a daily basis, but also in the same breath he could be so gentle and loving, giving hugs and kisses and ending his day with "I love you". William you are now at peace with your Mom once again. You will be deeply missed. Funeral services will be held at 11:30 AM Mon. Sept. 21, 2020 at the Dryer Funeral Home, Holly. Burial will be in Grand Lawn Cemetery, Detroit. www.dryerfuneralhomeholly.com
