William A. Norkett

Dear Barb,
I was so very sorry to hear of your great loss by reading the Sun-Times. My friendship of Bill for over some 45 years, from the 50th Ward YD's. He was truly a great human being and very special friend to all who knew him. My prayers and good wishes to you and your wonderful family during these very difficult days.

Fondly,
Sue

To the Norkett Family:

My mom reads the obituaries every day and she told me about your dad's uncle passing. I'm very sorry to hear this especially so soon after your father. Your dad has company with him now. As always, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I know it's not easy

Dear Family,
I just found out. Bill was a wonderful person. He was giving, he listened and sincere. He did so much for me amd my son Jeanty. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Mrs.Norkett, Mary Beth, Brian, Matt & Katie,
I have to tell you, Bill is like a hero to me. I saw him this past summer and although he told me of his illness, it didn't stop him. He truely lived life to the fullest! Nothing got in his way.
I have so many memories of playing in your house and backyard when we were kids. I know Bill touched so many lives. My parents always talked about him and all of you as great friends. He is now in heavan and we will all see him...

Dear Barb and Family,
I just heard of Bill's death today from John Briatta. What a trooper Bill was!
Bill was Ted's last visitor and I remember how caring (and yet humorous) Bill was to Ted and our family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love, Marilu Meyer
