Bill graduated high school in Middletown, Conn. Among many other positions, he was a self-taught typewriter repairman who navigated the technology industry shift to computers, working for a variety of companies including Panasonic and Motorola.

He proudly served as committee chair of BSA Troop 35. In 2013, Bill retired to his wife’s home state of Maine, where he continued his involvement with BSA and educated locals and tourists alike on the science of the sea as a Mount Desert Oceanarium staff member. He joined Church of Our Father, where he was a member of the vestry, the Outreach, Mission and Evangelism Committee and fulfilled his passion for service by organizing donations to the Bar Harbor Food Pantry.
Bill is survived by his wife of 34 years, Christina Graves Krenicki, and their two children, Anya Nicole Krenicki of Chicago, Ill., and William Preston Krenicki of Ellsworth.
