William John Brosch

Gates: William John "Billy" Brosch, a longtime resident of Gates, New York, died Tuesday, September 2nd after a brief illness with his good friends Justin and Frank at his side. He was born in Rochester on April 9th, 1952, son of William J. Brosch, Jr. and June A. (Overton) Brosch. He was edu­cated locally and in St. Petersburg, Florida and graduated from Spen­cerport High School in 1970.

From his youngest years Billy demonstrated a skill and passion for automotives, from working with his dad at his service station and later at Gateway Auto Parts, to his partnership at B & D Total Perfor­mance, to his most recent man­agement position at Auto Finishers of Rochester. An integral member of the local racing community, Billy was known affectionately by many good friends as the local "guru of speed." He was the go-to guy for two generations of local car enthu­siasts, and he loved the work that he did.

Survivors include his Mother, June A. Brosch of Spencerport, two sisters, Wendy B. Dwyer and Gayla B. Snowdon of New Hamp­shire, a brother-in-law, John Snow­don of New Hampshire, a niece, Valerie Snowdon, two nephews, Jeffrey M. Dwyer, and Christopher J. Snowdon, all of Boston, Mas­sachusetts, and many good and caring friends. His father, William J. Brosch, Jr. passed away on April 23, 2014, and his uncle John "Jack" Brosch died many years previously.

At Billy's request, there will be no calling hours or services.

Instead, the family requests that his many good friends share with each other their memories of his friendship, skill, and generosity.
