He was born March 4, 1939, to the late Lawrence (Ada Knauer) Polta and Virginia (Snyder) Draht.
He proudly served his country in the United States Navy. He was employed as a former Sandusky fireman and worked for Erie County in the maintenance department for several years. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting and fishing.

Including his parents, William is preceded in death by his son, William Andrew Jr. in 2010, and his sister, Kay Miller.
At the family's request, there will be no services held; cremation will take place. Private family burial will take place at a later date at Meadow Green Memorial Park, Huron. Groff Funeral Homes & Crematory are handling the arrangements.
