Bill Bender was one of a kind. I will always remember his wit, humor, intelligence and insight. He will be remembered fondly for not only his outstanding and important journalistic contributions through the decades, but also for being a loving father and grandfather for two wonderful, amazing women. The Bender legacy lives on Bill.

I regret not meeting your father, as he seemed to be a talented and generous person with a joy for music...all genres. What a blessing he was to Peoria...my home town...and Bradley...our local source of pride.
May He, who provides all blessings, welcome him to the choir of angels. Peace to you and yours.
