William John ‘Bill’ Ringenbach, 74, lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures

ST. JAMES — William John “Bill” Ringenbach, 74, quietly departed this life Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019, surrounded by his loving wife, Sandy; and their children, Scott Ringenbach, and his wife, Lindsey, and Tammi Newton, and her husband, Alec, at the SECU Hospice House of Brunswick, Bolivia.

In addition to his wife and children, Bill is survived by the loves of his life, his three grandchildren, Max, Bode and Tucker. Bill will be sorely missed by his family and his extended family that he would spend every August with in Indian Lake, New York.

Mr. Ringenbach, was born Dec. 21, 1944, in Rockville Center, New York, to the late William A. Ringenbach and Helen Baumann Ringenbach. Bill was the proud co-owner of Tech Electric in Raleigh for 16 years. He and his wife retired to St. James in 1999 so that Bill could pursue his passion for golf and the beach. Bill truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; his many travels with Sandy and many vacations with his family, sharing conversation and dinners with his friends. Bill was a member of three golfing groups and valued their friendship. Bill also shared his passion for NASCAR with his lifelong friends, Sal and Kevin; and his son, Scott.

The family will have a time of visitation from 2 to 4 p.m., Monday, Dec. 2, at Peacock-Newnam & White Funeral Home, Southport.
