Although I never knew Bill, I know how much he was loved by his wonderful family. His sister Jeananne has told me countless stories of growing up together and what an amazing, kind soul Bill was. I know he is missed terribly and am keeping he and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

The Boehnen family was is a large loving family that much of Westlake knew and loved. Bill, the patriarch of the family was loved and respected by family and friends alike. I am especially close to his sister Jeananne, who I love like a sister. Bills passing leaves an emptiness in all of us.
Bill, thank you for your service to our country.
Rest In Peace Bill.

As we morn the loss of a father, husband and friend... my heart goes out to all of Bill's family. But especially to our beautiful daughter Maria Jean Gerace. A gift from God 39 years ago. the best thing that every happened for Bill and I. And one thing we both agreed about... God blessed us with a beautiful, loving and caring daughter who like her Dad everyone who knew her loved her. I'm so thankful for the years Bill and I had together and that he was there to give our daughter away in marriage just one year ago... Through the years together we climbed many mountains and walked through some deep valleys. but I must say we were better people for it... God doesn't always give us what we want but He always gives us what we need...
Thank you for the journey Bill and the joy in it. Love You, Bonnie

My sympathies to Linda and all the Boehnen family. Bill was the best. A friend like no other friend. Bill and I met during the late 70's while we both were employed by Stanley-Vidmar. He taught me a lot about God, life, business and building and maintaining collector cars. He was the go to guy for most everything. I'll miss his smiling face, positive attitude and short people jokes..God bless you Billy B. RIP
