William J. Koman

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He used to give me a hard time in the workout area over at City Place. He told me I must not be doing it right because I wasn't sweating. We had a good laugh. I respected him highly because of the beautiful building he erected. We used to have parties on the patio after work which was perk for working in the building. He was a very kind man. I feel the void already. May God Bless your family. I am so sorry for your loss and may he rest in peace.

Bill and fellow Cardinals teammates were my ride to high school on Monday mornings during football season in 1964 in StL. Bill and Ken Kanfil, Billy Stacy and Jerry Stoval were so kind to give this hitch-hiking high school kid a ride a few miles while on their way to Busch Stadium for their Monday morning post game meeting/workout.

I will miss you my big guy.. my sincere condolences to the family!

Our Sympathy to Bill's family. Sincerely Hopewell Class of 1952

God bless Bill and his wonderful family.

Mr. Koman was arguably even more successful as an entrepreneur than he had been on the gridiron; he proved F. Scott Fitzgerald had been wrong when he said "There are no second acts in American Lives."
I went to school with his sons, but cannot claim to have known him well. I was impressed nevertheless. People obviously mattered to him. For a few years after we all graduated from high school, the Komans hosted a party for their children's friends during the holidays. Large parties...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We grew up down the street form the Komans. What a great family and a great man.
