William L. McClintock, age 89, a longtime resident of Janesville, passed away early Wednesday morning, June 9, 2021, at MercyHealth Hospital & Trauma Center in Janesville. He was born March 29, 1932, in Marcus, IA, the son of the late Frank & Rose Marie (Ryan) McClintock.

He was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving during the Korean Conflict.
On September 12, 1959, he married the former Joanne B. Thill at Holy Name Catholic Church in Marcus, IA.
