Rickie and family. I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was a great guy - humble, intelligent, kind, honest, entertaining. I will really miss his stories. He was always so upbeat. The quote I will remember most from him is "As long as my grandkids are happy, I'm happy." My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

My deepest regrets to the Hawkinson family. I knew "Hawk" during our days at Campion High School in Wisconsin and fondly remember him as a remarkably good-natured and humorous character which I'm glad he maintained through his life. His legacy will continue through you. My heartfelt condolences.

I first knew Bill at Leo Boy's Club Summer Camp (we were born just a few days apart) then later, at Campion Jesuit High School. He was there for a few years, but soon became very popular, even getting a seat on Student Council. He was quite a character, known for his exceptional sense of humor, getting away with a baby face smile. I later saw him at Campion Class re-unions as his career moved forward. It was warming to read about his impact both in business and his relationships. My...
