William Raymond Foran Jr.

I can only add Amen to all that was wriiten. Funny guy so good with children, and of course, "Irish" humor Jesuits can be proud indeed. Work at cdrc was always uplifted by his presence.

Bill Foran was my Friend. He and Lauren were influential parts of my Life. We became fast friends as Physical Therapy students at Marquette University. They were always hospitable, gracious and kind to me. We shared a lot of time together. He was a quiet leader, she was his strength. One memory stands out in particular. Bill organized a bike ride through the coastal area of Wisconsin from Milwaukee up to and around Washington Island. Blind and visually impaired participants of this...

I was moved by the observation that after will´s death, an empty place was set for him at the local coffee place, with his customary coffee and roll. "The presence of the absence " I enjoyed Nora´s song. It was well done. I enjoyed the TS Eliot quote. The whole memorial was thoughtful. Thank you for inviting me. Christopher Williams

Will was one of a kind. Genuine, caring, gentle and a tough defender in basketball. We enjoyed playing hoops with him for many many years at the old WAC Club. However, no one wanted him to guard them because he was so tough and strong. Such an enjoyable guy to be around. He will be missed.

For many years I would see Will most mornings at the gym. He invariably would be smiling and I always looked forward to a brief but interesting conversation. Frequently, he would share his latest joke punctuated by his infectious laugh. Due to Covid I hadn´t seen will until just recently. I am shocked and saddened by his passing. What a outstanding man! My deepest condolences to Will´s family.

Will was special; always willing to stop and talk. After I spoke at another memorial, he said "I hope you can talk at mine!" What are the chances, I am 21 years older than you. But here we are. I will miss him so much. Christopher Williams MD, retired from CDRC. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
