Not sure what to say?

Bill built our very first home in West Shore Park in Diamond Lake back in the 70s. How we loved that house! He was a master craftsman and easily shared his construction knowledge with us. We credit him with our strong appreciation for architecture. He usually had a hammer in his hand and a smile on his face whenever we visited the house during the construction process. We are sorry to learn of his passing this year. He was a wonderful person, a talented builder and a delight to know.

We moved across the street from the Goughs in 1976! So many wonderful memories with this family. Love the stories Bill told of playing hockey and when he met a certain grandson of THE George Halas while skating in Barrington. Bill would often hang out on our back porch with my parents or fish in our pond.
My parents lived across the street (Millie and Mel Olson) until Dad passed in 2001.
Mom lives next door to me now (she's 90 and doing well) in Missouri.

Bill and Jane were our neighbors in Acorn Acres and we grew up with their smiles and caring ways. We have run into Bill in restaurants, grocery stores, etc over the years, and he always remembered me, his smile and baseball cap will truly be missed. XOXO

So sorry for your loss. Death can be so very hard, but our special memories can help us cope. Remember your loved one today and always. 1 Corinthians 15:26.
