I just retired on 1/31/19 after 35 years in the Bell system. It would have been great to have a friend like Bill around to help keep me thinking young and share good times together. How very sad that he left us at such a young age.

I happened to receive a notice today of Bell system folks that have recently died. I was surprised to see Bill's name on the list. That is if this is the same Bill Kinsella that used to work out with me at the Ameritech wellness center in Hoffman estates. I'm 68 years old and I estimate Bill was probably about 10 years younger than me. We used to work on the machines together then complain about our jobs and various situations , while cleaning up getting ready to go back to work.
I don't know if anyone reads late condolences like this one and I'm not sure this is the same Bill I enjoyed talking with for several years while working out with him. If anyone does read this and can confirm this was the same Bill that worked for Ameritech in Hoffman Estates, please take a moment to reply to Nick Scalise
[email protected]. I sure would like to know what happened to Bill. He was a picture of exceptional health when I knew him.
My deepest sympathies to his family.
Sincerely,
Nick Scalise

I recall counting laps for Bill's 1500 at a Masters meet at UIC. Every flip of Bill's turns revealed his smile as he enjoyed the competition as a true athlete. While I lived in Chicago he was part of the midlife pursuit of Triathlon! Along with his best friends, we trained and fueled our fun; Bill was so motivating with his enthusiasm and effort. Man it was great to have him along for the ride. Thanks Bill! I'll always remember those super times.
My condolences and love go out to Liette, Emilou and Collette; Bill was an example to me of a wonderful, loving husband and dad. Remember the best times, and carry on.
Peace to you,
David Day

Brian and I are so sad to hear of Bill's passing. We loved swimming with him because we loved his down-to-earth and easy to relate to ways. Please accept our deepest sympathies, Liette.

The words are hard to find in times like these, I will remember Bill and the fun we had in Lake Mills and the time he made it to Napa to ride through the vineyards and buy wine. I will remember his big smile and laugh, He's going to be missed in many ways.
Go in peace my friend.

Love and prayers for you all and Bills family and friends. So heartbreaking to have to give you our condolences. We will remember Bill this year when we Swim Across America in Seattle. Cancer really needs a kick- taking the young and healthy by surprise like this.
