Dear Lisa & Family:
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” (Eskimo proverb)
Our thoughts are with you all.

To the Thomka family and friends...
Oh the stories there have been with Bill (Senior), ones that will be cherished from here on out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

We always remembered Bill because his birthday was the same as my husband Marvin. They both loved to eat and drink the Slovakian foods. He was a generous hearted person and will be missed. Mary

We've had our share of neighbors, but none like Bill, Mary Ann and their family. Living next-door to them for the past 20 years has been a joy...never a problem between us. Our children and grandchildren have found good friends in theirs, too. We will truly miss him!

Mary Ann and Family:
I was so sad to learn of your husband's/father's passing. Just reading some of the things other people have said, he sounds like a wonderful husband, father, neighbor and funny to boot.
Mary Ann, take care of yourself during this sad time and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

We will always remember Bill at the Muskego H.S. Basketball games, we would sit next to him, he would yell when his boys made baskets, "Down Town"! Our deepest sympathy.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I have many fond memories of Bill as one of the authorities of the neighborhood when I was growing up. A man who deserved your respect immediately, but with an obvious heart of gold.
