i only met Bill about 6 months ago, when he came to the restaurant where I work (The Breakers) with my friend Ed. But I enjoyed his stories, his humor and quick smile on his return visits. My thoughts are with the family.

Tom,
Mary Lou and I are both sad to hear of your Dad's passing. Your dad was a legend in Elgin, but more than that, he helped shape the lives of many of the kids that went to EHS and had the good fortune to know your dad.
With much sympathy,
Tim & Mary Lou Molony

Bill was always one of my favorite customers. When he came in the store, I always hoped we could have one of our long conversations about sports without being disturbed. Bill, my friend, you are already being missed. God Bless you and your family.
