So sorry to hear of the passing of fellow funeral director, Bill Bieker. I met Bill over 40 years ago while I was working at a funeral home in Fort Wayne. He was very knowledgeable of the funeral business and was always interesting to visit with. He was a real asset and provided great service to many Fort Wayne families throughout his career. RIP Bill.

My name is Janet Vogel Nahrwold. I have been involved in the funeral business for most of my life with Mungovan and Sons Funeral Home. When I became employed by McComb FH, Bill was a staunch supporter of me and always made me feel welcome. I will always remember his kindness and his fun loving humor. He was a special friend to me and will be missed. Please accept my sympathy.

Nicole & Mark, please know that we are deeply saddened about the passing of your Dad. The only good thing about this is your folks didn't have to be apart for long. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Bill for almost 39 years we were good pardners, we had nicknames for each other, he was Shieker and I was Barts, oh the memories we had , we even talked about writing a book about all we had seen throughout the years. I wo n't say RIP my friend but Bill & Judy enjoy each other for all of Eternity. Mark,Donna & Nicole take care of each other. Your friends Dave & Doris

I know you don't know me but I feel like I have known Bill my whole life. His aunt, Dolores Alberts, was my mom's best friend and I would see his mom, Elizabeth, all the time when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, every time I go across the Market Street Bridge I always look right at Elizabeth's old home.

I hope it comforts you to know that Bill is being remembered by someone he didn't know but who knew of him and knew his family well.
