I met Bill when I first came to Green Bay. He impressed me then with his straightforward and friendly approach, and over the years with his dry and incisive sense of humor, combined with a sincere interest in the people he dealt with, and certainly in the wellbeing of his community. He was also, clearly, very smart. His community, and I will miss him! His family has my sympathy, and Nancy's.

Dear Malooly family,
I had the good fortune to interact with Bill during the banking days. He was a bright star, intelligent and kind. Best wishes to you all. Victoria (Safford) Parmentier

Duffy and girls,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad and grandpa. Prayers for all of you during this difficult time.

Bill was a very honorable and ethical competitor in the banking business. I enjoyed his sense of humor. A number of years ago I received and award from my alma mater and Bill sent me a congratulatory note. However, he ended it by saying "I never knew that you even went to college". Our sympathies to the Malooly family.

Dear Julie, I am so sorry and so stunned to hear of Bill's passing. Talking with you both is always a highlight of MU reunions, and I am so glad that we got to chat at our 50th. I met Bill in an econ class sophomore year and he made that class so much fun with his contagious laughter and wild sense of humor. I know you and your family will miss him greatly. My sympathy and prayers go out to you all.

Bill helped make a life long dream of owning a company come to reality. He was not only a friend but a highly valued advisor and mentor. A great and insightful guy with unique and creative approaches to business and life that we will miss. Bill is the reason Barbara and I, and our family, have been so blessed to be able to enjoy so many great and meaningful times and experiences in our lives and with our family. We are deeply grateful to have had him in our lives.
I'm glad he left this world as he did. Julie and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Julie & Family: Bill was a wonderful person and someone who truly had a "Heart of Gold". This world is a better place because of Bill. I also worked at the Bank and I saw his goodness up front. I am happy to say that after I retired I had a one-to-one conversation with him and I told him these things. How glad I am that I told him while he was here to know my thoughts. I am happy to have known him. Lois M. Soboda
