Judy and family. Doug and I were truly saddened to hear of Bill's death. We both stood in reflection of the amazing, kind, caring, gentle, fun
loving man that he was and will be remembered for. Always a smile, kind, encouraging word, and authentic interest in all around him. He will be truly missed and will surely live on in the hearts of all who loved him. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs....Mary and Doug Hejnal

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was kind and always a gentleman. I remember Bill going to the airport and meeting out of town family and showing them to our home when we attended a Rosary for our Bill. Many prayers are going your way on this new journey.

Bill was like a second big brother to me growing up as neighbors. Out of all the guys, he was most likely to let the little pest (me) tag along on a foray into the woods or to the lake. I'm glad that he had such a full and happy life - just wish it could have continued a while longer.

I was fortunate to know Bill during the years our children played and grew up together. It is customary, at a time like this, to remember all the good times we shared, and there were many. But one event stands out. During a family vacation, my wife needed emergency surgery. I called Bill to tell him we would be late getting back home.

It's been many years since I have seen Bill but I have so many fond memories of this great man that will last forever. While growing up he was an inspiration, for his faith, family values, and his true love for Judy and the girls. I am so thankful for our good times together whether on the golf course or time with the Evers family. Bill will be missed by many!

We have lost a great friend . It's going to be challenging living life without him here. He leaves so many friends and admirers. However, he doesn't suffer anymore and for that we are glad. He never complained or asked "why me?" Rest in God's arms Bill. We'll love you forever.

Bill was my uncle. A couple years ago I inherited a computer from him that included his huge archive of photos. The screensaver automatically brings up random photos from Bill's life. The photos -- most of which he took -- play next to me all day. I'll miss him.
