My brother Bill was also my best friend. We would get together every Friday for beat the clock pitchers at the Pit Stop in Kaukauna and several local bars when the Packers and Brewers were playing. Try as I might I could never get into watching stock car races that he loved so much but I would watch some of them with him.
I will miss his humor and his passion for life.

Steve, Julie and family, our deepest sympathies in losing Bill. Great loss. He was quite the character, even as a kid on good old Kernan Avenue. I was lucky enough to see him perform with the McDowell mens chorus. God be with you all at this difficult time, and cherish the memories. From Leslee, Clayton, Rod, & Bob Gardinier.

AHE Class of '72 pays its respects Bill. Whenever I would run into Bill out and about, he always had a smile and began a conversation like we had just seen each other yesterday instead of the years that had actually passed. Rest in peace Bill. My thoughts and prayers with all family and friends.

We knew Bill years ago and still would see him once and awhile at the race track.
Always loved seeing him as he always knew what to say even if had been years since we had seen him
You will always be in our hearts!!

I was Bills first wife and together we had our son MICHAEL.Mike is now happily married and has two beautiful children.Mike and Bill worked together for many years and became close in there relationship. Bill told me on several occasions how PROUD he was of Michael.Iam thankful that we could remain friends thruout the years.Bill had a great sense of humor,long after our divorce he would still call me every year to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. Bill had a way about him that people never forgot.Recently I visited with him and we joked how he couldnt tell me what to do,, cause we werent married anymore. The memory of that last visit will be forever in my heart.Bill I hope you are in a peacefull place listening to ( IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER)on the jukebox,while drinking one and enjoying your chicken wings (PAIN FREE)You will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts!!!
