William "Bill" Novak

We will miss you shipmate. USS Bluefish SSN 675

So sorry to hear about your loss. Billy was a great person and friend. His family was his life. He will be missed.

My thoughts of you both are very special. Thanks for always being there for me. No need to respond, just know I'm here for you if you need anything or would like a laugh Donna. :) Lots of love!

So glad we got to visit with Bill when we came through the area last year. Bill was always a great host when I was in town for work. Donna we will keep you and your family in our prayers!

I had known Bill for over 30 years and will really miss him. My most sincere condolences to Donna and the family. I know how proud he was of his grandkids.

Bill worked, played, and lived hard. He didn't know how to be understated. In being who he was he left a mark on the world big, bright, and loud enough for so many to see. He will be missed by so many.

Bill, It was a pleasure serving with you aboard the Adams. Rest in Peace my brother.

So long my Friend. It's been quite a journey,
but cut to short.

I miss you...
Till we meet again....Andy

Donna, my deepest Sympathy to you
and Family... LOL

The Andersons were always excited to hear that Bill was in town, we had a blast whenever he was visiting. Personally I’ll miss the way he shared his memories, his laugh and his sarcasm. Bill sent me a couple of funny lines not too long before he passed and I wasn’t surprised that he was cracking jokes during such a difficult time. I will always be inspired by his love for his family and friends and his ability to turn any time into a good time.

Remembering good times and friendship. Sending my condolences to you, Donna and Todd. So sorry for your loss. Donna, you and your family are in my prayers. Eternal rest grant unto Bill, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. You will be missed, Bill.

Donna, Todd and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have a lot of great memories of Bill while traveling together and working shows, spending time at sales meetings, eating out, parties at your house and even ice fishing on Clear Lake in Waseca, MN. Bill was an honest man, and you always knew what he was thinking. I feel very fortunate to have had Bill as a friend and coworker

He was one of the best, he will always be in my heart & prayers , he became my big brother after I lost mine!! I loved his sense of humor, we grew up together. I loved Bill, for the his love of family, & country ! I will miss him !!

We will love and miss Bill. We will see him again in Heaven.

Deepest sympathy to you, Donna, & Your Loving Family. Will always remember the Love he had for you. It was a pleasure to have known him. Peace be with you.

I worked with Bill for a few years when we both worked for Dataradio and CalAmp. Bill and I had good chemistry, both of us said what was on our mind for the benefit of the company. I also had the opportunity to travel with Bill on Sales trip when we had plenty of time to chat and discuss things. One thing I'll never forget that Bill asked me; He said: Boaz, when will you learn English? we both had a good lough. Bill felt close to me and he wished we can meet in Italy where if I am not mistaken, his ancestors came from. Unfortunately, it never happened though I am sure that he would have been very pleased if it would have taken place. Bill also gave me good financial advice which I benefit from it now.

I will remember Bill as an excellent colleague and fun to be with, I am very sorry that he passed away relatively young, he was only two years older them me.

RIP Bill!

Sorry for your loss. I worked with and traveled some with Bill during his days with DataRadio in Waseca MN.
Always enjoyed his wit, humor and friendship. He was a good talented company man.

My deepest condolences to Donna & family. Bill has been my co conspirator in finding plank owners & I will miss his humor.

I met bill at CSF 6 in Charleston SC in 1967 We were both Radiomen He was on the SSBN620 and I was on the SSBN619. I came across him again yrs later on the 41 for freedom link on the internet. We exchanged e mails over the years. I was stunned when I saw his obituary today. I know he. will be sorely missed by his family and friends
Donna and family please accept my condolences for your loss of your husband, father and grandfather
RIP Bill I have the watch

To the Novak Family
My sincere & deepest sympathy for your lost .

I had the pleasure to be a friend of Bill's thru my family's connection.
He loved my sister Gail Anderson & was like a brother to her husband Ron Anderson.

I will always remember the dinners he made for us, the sparkle in his eyes & the many glasses of wine we tipped back.

Thank you Bill for your dedicated & longtime service & your unwavering friendship with our family.
May you rest in peace.

Working with Bill for many years when I was at Shell Oil and then at Dataradio was always hard working but fun time. We talked a lot, laughed a lot and always held each other in high regard. I will miss not seeing his occasional FaceBook posts but take comfort in the knowledge that I knew a great fellow! Condolences to Donna and the rest of the family. Harry

I wrapped Bill with his Quilt of Valor to honor him for his service protecting our Nation. He commented that no one thanked him for serving; that he answered the call to duty.

It was my pleasure to wrap Bill with his Quilt of Valor honoring him for his service.

Bill was a good friend and I will miss him.
