I was deeply saddened by the news of Bill's passing. Bill was a great man. Even though I only knew him briefly, his big heart, an incredible personality and his passion for Sports stuck with me. My heart felt condolences to you and your family. A honest, loyal, dedicated family man...You will be missed my friend. ~Shaa

Billy, I am sorry for the loss of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mom, and your family. Your Dad was a very good man. I have fond memories of him, especially during baseball in Elmhurst when we were kids. Later in life, it was a pleasure to occasionally bump into and chat with him at Oakbrook OTB. He always made me laugh. He will be missed by many. I hope you and your family can find peace during this sad time.
