William Barnett

Katie,
May you feel the warmth of angels' arms wrapped around you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

I want to express my deepest sympathies to Bill's family, and apologize for not being at his funeral. I had a family emergency and had to be in Georgia last week-end.
I'm so glad that Kathy Kearney and I were able to spend time with Bill recently and to see that he was as lively and smart as ever. He was so well taken care of and so happy living in Glenview with all of you coming & going when he could no longer be alone.
As president of the Chicago Walkers I also want to tell...

Please accept my deepest sympathy to all of your family in the loss of your wonderful father. I am a long time Rotary friend and a (Mundelein College ) Loyola University alumna. God love you. Elizabeth (Betty) Grady.

To Bill's family: I am very sorry for your loss of an extraordinary man. I met Bill nearly 30 yrs. when we were learning how to sea kayake in Lake Michigan. Despite our age difference of 39 yrs. we enjoyed each other's company. Bill invited me to Rotary Club luncheons and I invited him to the Adventurers Club. Bill introduced me to race walking. He was better at it than me. Bill and I toasted in the New Year with a hot cup of Wassail...I will always cherish that day. Rest in peace, my...
