William “Bill” E. Quashnock

William “Bill” E. Quashnock, age 86, of Erie, passed away peacefully at Edinboro Manor on Wednesday, April 10, 2019, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on March 30, 1933 in Sykesville, PA, the son of the late George and Martha Quashnock.

He served in the US Army during the Korean War.

He was a long-time barber in Erie; known as “Barber Bill” at his shop in the former Marine Bank Building now the PNC Bank Building.  He cut hair for many of the top executives in Erie.

He attended Bethel Baptist Church where he was saved.  The Church was so important to both he and his wife, Georgia.  God was life.

Bill enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, birding, and was known to have a Green Thumb.  He grew a Palm tree in his basement.

He was preceded in death by one son William “Bill” G. Quashnock in 2018.
