William "Bill" McLean

I worked for Ruth at the Buckaroo when I was going to the UW in the early 70's. She was such a lovely person and would come pick me at times in the Winter after the storms and take me home as I only had a motorcycle back in those days. I met Bill a number of time and he struck me to be much as his mum. Say hi to your mum Bill and give her all my love!!!

What wonderful memories we have of Bill and you, Betty, from Chi O house activities, watching the 2 of you and then the parties as we were married. His painting that he so graciously painted to match our decor in our first house. We'll remember the smile, laugh and the fun he had making us all laugh with joy.

Hugs to you all. Ruthie and Don Kallander

Dear Betty...

You and your family were the luckiest of all. I had the privilege of just three years of fraternity living with a clown who loved what he could touch and touch him back with the same love and good-will and nutty humor that made Bill McLean such a wonderful friend and brother.

Lucky you, you got him for a few more years than anyone else in the world.

May he rest in well-humored peace...

With all my love,

Bill Zarkades

ML, Rick, David and Ken:
Know we love you and are always here for you!

Dear Marilee, Rick and Grands…
Our hearts are truly with all of you…but hopeful knowing your dad is peaceful. This has certainly been a year of loss, but with that comes beautiful memories for the future.
Sharing these next days with you in spirit,
Sally and Mike
