William “Bill”  Kuettel, of Soquel California  passed away at the age of 93 peacefully in his home on Saturday May 18th, 2024. He is preceded in death by his parents, Rosa and Joesph Kuettel , by  brother Joseph Kuettel and nephew John. He is survived by his three daughters Debra Kuettel, Lisa Barron, and Sharon Wilson: 4 grandchildren Jeff Barron, Scott Wilson, Christopher Barron, and Lynn Bowman and Great grand children; Carter Barron, Leah, Thomas and George Wilson. Bill was born in Montreal Canada before moving to the US with his parents. He joined the army and was honorably discharged in 1954. Bill had many life achievements and was very loved by all of his family. 

Bill was an avid member of the Lincoln Owners Club, (LCOC) and the Chrysler 300 club. Bill was recently awarded a special “Bill Kuettel Award” by the Lincoln Owners Club for his dedication to hosting car meets at his beloved ranch in Santa Cruz California. Bill had also been  an annual participant in the Concourse d ’Elegance, in Pebble Beach.  His 1923 car differed from most of the other hundreds of cars taking part Tour d ‘Elegance as his car was a legendary Hispano-Suiza (“Spanish-Swiss”).  His mother Rosa Leuthold and father, Joseph Kuettel were born in Switzerland and he was very proud of his heritage and of the automobile that he searched for 20 years before becoming the owner. 

A celebration of life will be planned for summer of 2024.
