William J. Kozel II

Bill was a kind and gentle coworker. Always willing to jump in and solve a problem. He took pride in his work. You could tell that doing a good job was important to him. I will remember him for his professional attitude and his quiet smile. It was a pleasure to work with him at WEWS.

I'll always remember Bill's friendly, helpful, and considerate personality. He never minded going out of his way for anyone. I was blessed to work with him for many years at WEWS. His smile and down-to-earth nature was a big reason for the camaraderie that existed in the building during that time. May God Bless him in Heaven and bring you comfort.

Our family became friends with Bill and his family through Concern for Children, a support group for international adoptive families. We always enjoyed his calm and friendly persona during the experiences we shared, and grieve for his family. We extend our prayers for the Lord to comfort each of you.

It was always a joy knowing Bill was part of the Channel 5 team. Always, without fail, he was the spark to brighten one's day. I will miss seeing Bill at the alumni events. My sincere condolences to the family.

I was lucky to have worked with Bill for many years and always appreciated his kindness & consideration that accompanied all that engineering knowledge. He had a sweetness & thoughtfulness that will always make me smile when I think of him. My love & prayers are with the family.

Bill was dedicted to his work and family, a skilled engineer, and a fine human being. I and many others count ourselves lucky to have known him. Peace be with you.

I lived in Cleveland from 1992 to 1997, and worked with Bill on Society of Broadcast Engineers Chapter 70 matters quite often. His dedication to broadcast engineering is unmatched, and his tremendous service to the SBE Certification Program in Cleveland will be hard to surpass.

Bill was always kind and great to work with. He was a positive presence at WEWS and I enjoyed our chats. My prayers go out to the family. May God comfort you and keep you in perfect peace.

We're sorry for your loss. Your family are with us in our prayers.
