William J. Hornell

Bill was one of the kindest and most insightful individuals in the Investment Banking community. He genuinely cared about others and he will be missed.

Deb, what a beautiful tribute to Bill and the life you all shared. He has left a legacy through your family and a life well lived that will continue for decades to come. I am so sorry for your loss and you and the family are in my prayers through these very challenging days. May God's mercy and comfort keep you in perfect peace each day.

Sorry to be so late in posting. Only learned of Bills passing upon receipt of Debs annual Christmas letter and family photo. I am still in shock in tears. I first met Bill when I went to interview him for a position at the bank in Louisville. It only took a few minutes to realize that this guy was a star. He was smart and mature for his age with an infectious personality. We were so fortunate that he excepted the job, and the next four years working with him side-by-side were The greatest. After hours, with our wives, Deb and Linda, were also great fun, and Craig Lutton was always there to join in as well. Deb, thanks so much for keeping us on your Christmas list after all these years. Linda and I are thinking of you and the family in this most difficult time. Love, Louis and Linda Edmondson.

What a lovely tribute to Bill. And what an amazing life you had together. My heart is with you. Sorry that I never got to meet Bill, but he was always a topic in our virtual teas and F2F gatherings.
I wish I could be there to give you a big hug, let you cry, and then make you laugh. I can just see the pride in you as you update me on the kids and grandkids. So happy that you have your village with you to lift you, comfort you and celebrate the life you had with Bill.
You all remain in my prayers.

My only regret of nephew Bill is I never saw enough of him. He was a delight to be around , lots of laughs ,but alas I was in Fl and Bill in Chicago,always working..I'll miss him very much.. ... your loving aunt

When I was at the Chicago Tribune I hired a professional young lady by the name of Deb Hornell. Through Deb I had the opportunity to meet her loving spouse, Bill, on a few occasions.
I am saddened by the news of Bills passing. Deb is a special and rare individual and so was Bill.
My, as well as our families thoughts and prayers will remain with you, Deb and the entire family. May the Lord bless and comfort everyone with peace knowing Bill has returned to the God who gave him life.
