Not sure what to say?

Carol, I'm not sure if you still check this site. I wanted to email you. I found our picture of our "Garden Club" from Eagle Court in Wheaton. I Googled your names and found the obituary for Bill. I am so sorry!

Milt passed away on May 16, 2019, from bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma). He was ill for 1-1/2 years. I've moved into a nice apartment in the same neighborhood where we were living. Our son Todd, his wife, Sarah, and their 3 children live 15 minutes away.

Attended LTHS with Bill, he was always one of the most friendly people one could meet. Truly one of the really nice guys. Very sad to see he has passed. Deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Carol and Family,
What true friends are all about describes Carol and Bill.
I am truly sorry to hear of Bill's passing. His struggles with his disease were nothing short of heroic. We only knew Bill for 8 years. He immediately befriended both Johanna and me. He was a great guy and truly a good friend. He will be missed.
