Ike enjoyed hunting for many years until he discovered his passion for golf.  A kind and loving man, Ike, made friends easily and enjoyed spending time with them whenever possible. His greatest love, however, was for his wife, children and grandchildren.

Surviving in addition to his wife are their two devoted and loving children, Monica Getz Petta wife of Richard Petta, of Cornwall, PA and Joshua Getz of Lancaster, PA; his granddaughters, Lorelai Getz and Madalyn Getz; his brother, Donald Getz and his sisters, Rosemary Riley and Frances Halbleib. 

Due to the current pandemic and the risk posed to family and friends, a public Celebration of Life event will not be held; however, the family would appreciate friends and family sharing a fond memory or story of their relationship with Ike which can be mailed to his wife or posted online at www.clydekraft.com. 

Private graveside services will be held for the family at Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens, Columbia.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in Bill’s name to Hospice and Community Care, 685 Good Drive, P.O. Box 4125, Lancaster, PA  17604 (hospiceconnect.org/give). This organization was invaluable to his family during his last weeks of life.

Funeral arrangements are being handled by the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, Inc., Columbia/Landisville, www.clydekraft.com.
