I was so sad when Jim told us of Bill´s passing. I am Bill´s second cousin on his mom´s side. We cousins have always been a tight knit group. Very close family growing up. Bill was a happy little boy and grew up to be an outstanding student and could have make a huge difference in the world. Unfortunately, the world proved to be a difficult place for him. I have always hoped that he would finally find the help that would give him strength enough to stay sober and be a big influence to those suffering from addiction.
REST IN PEACE, Bill ! Your trials are over and you are free. God bless you with His everlasting love. To Jim and Andy, we send you our love forever and always. Keep us updated.

I only met Bill years ago for his wedding and only have great memories of the two of them being so happy. Bill is my 3rd cousin once removed thanks to his father discovering that fact. I hate to say that the main vice Bill had was one that has infected our Konichek families for generations. Experiencing my paternal uncles and friends fathers go through it, is the main reason why I never even wanted to get started. I'm a Christian who knows that are Lord is a God of LOVE and I have faith in that one fact alone.
My sincere condolences.
