William J Reczek

Harry and Janet and Family - just found out about Bill's passing while doing some on-line research. While we haven't kept in touch recently, we have fond memories of Bill and Harriet. Bill was always interested in his roots and tried to keep in touch with his family from Poland. My dad was his first cousin and they've met for the first time in 1987 when my dad came to Chicago from Poland. Bill and Harriet invited us to their house and we've met the rest of the family, including his brother...

I will miss him immensely.

So sorry for your loss

Bill was a classmates father that became our neighbor and friend after we bought our house in Norwood Park. He and Harriet would often invite us over for a cup of coffee and, of course, something to eat. Bill always had a story to tell and it was often about his hearing aid business, of which he was quite proud. He will be missed.

GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN
AND HE FOUND EMPTY PLACE
HE LOOKED DOWN UPON THE EARTH
AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU
AND LIFTED YOU TO REST
GOD'S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL
HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST

HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE SUFFERING
HE KNEW YOU WERE IN PAIN
HE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER
GET WELL ON EARTH AGAIN

HE SAW THE ROAD WAS GETTING ROUGH
AND THE HILLS WERE HARD TO CLIMB
SO HE CLOSED...

Harry, Janet and all the family. We wanted to send our love and prayers to all of you. Uncle Bill was a character. So many great stories. Such a wonderful sense of humor. I know he is missed. He is with the love of his life now. The video was so beautiful and touching. May God hold you all. I know my mom would want you all to know how much she loved Bill.
