We are sorry to hear of the passing of our dear friend and former coworker, Bill. We send our deepest sympathy to the Hetzel Family and pray that you find comfort knowing that mom and dad will be whole and together again with the Lord (you can see the joy in his smile!), and may you have many fond memories to relive the precious moments together. I am offering up my 9am (MST) Mass in Denver on 11/11 as your family and friends celebrate Bill's celebration of life Mass in Milwaukee. Rest in eternal peace with Jesus, Bill.
