William Ims Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A lifelong professional in the roofing industry, Bill dedicated 52 years to the field, beginning his career at Brown and Kerr in Wheeling, then moving on to Complete Building Maintenance, and recently retiring from Local Roofing Co., Inc. just this month.
If he wasn't at work or traveling you would likely find him on his boat, taking an evening cruise with Barb, or entertaining friends and family while listening to Jimmy Buffet. He also spent significant time rooting for the Bears and Cubs.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, January 5th, from 12:00-4:00 PM at Kelly's house in Schaumburg. Friends and family are invited to stop by anytime during these hours to honor Bill's memory.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
