Bill "Tiny" Alexander

Alexander, Bill “Tiny” COTTAGE GROVE/MADISON-Bill “Tiny” Alexander suffered a heart attack and died at his home on Saturday, April 4, 2015. Bill, the son of Clare and Olga Alexander, was born in Madison in 1950, and spent his life on the East side of Madison. He was a life-long member of Holy Cross Church, a founder and past president of the Capitol City Riders, and owner of the Willy Street Pub or ‘The Wisco’ for 25 years. If you were a member of Holy Cross you probably enjoyed the pancake breakfasts he served. If you were a CC Rider you were probably featured in one of his hilarious stories, and if you were customer or staff at The Wisco you probably had a beer with him and were entertained by one of those stories. Bill was a graduate of the culinary arts program at Madison College. He was a Teamster and worked for Nuendorf Transportation. Tiny loved to shoot trap and was a long-time member of The North Bristol Sportsman Club. The people who survive Bill and will join in celebrating his life are his wife, Holly; his children, Mitchell, Hannah and Clayton; and grandson Xavier. Bill will also be remembered by his best friend and brother, Ronald Alexander, sister-in-law, Inger Alexander, and nephew, Paul Alexander, along with Paul’s wife, Liz and their children, Clarisa and Tori Alexander. Bill’s cousins from Dodgeville, Hartford, and Janesville and Holly’s family from Watertown and Marinette will join in honoring him. Tiny will also be remembered and honored by his CCR brothers. Funeral services will be held at HOLY CROSS LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2670 Milwaukee Street, Madison at 11 a.m., on Saturday, April 11, 2015, with the Rev. Mark Bartels presiding.
