Bill was a great friend and a wonderful neighbor. He lived to bring joy to others and made anyone entering his home feel like family. I have so many wonderful memories of Bill including going camping with him and his family, going to a White Sox game together, his Barbecues in the summer and the time he included Marissa on 1 of his family vacations. To say he'll be missed is an understatement.

Bill was a wonderful man, warm, caring and down to earth. Whenever I saw him at a school event or in the neighborhood he was always kind and sincere, and had a wonderful smile. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Norine Nagel
