William SHONEFELT Obituary

SHONEFELT, William John "Doc"

We lost one hell of a man recently, William John Shonefelt, of Palm Harbor, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Thursday, May 26, 2016. Born Nov. 1, 1955, in Waukegan, IL, to Judith and Arlen Shonefelt. Doc married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Jo Ann Moore, on June 25, 1977. Surviving him are Jo Ann; daughter, Julia Jaquillard, her husband Quinton; and their son, Cooper; son, Philip Shonefelt and his wife Cassandra; daughter, Melissa Dale and husband Jonathan; mother, Judith Musich; mother and father-in-law, Florence and Ora Moore; sister, Marcia Schwall; brother, Mark Musich and wife Suzie; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. He will be deeply missed by those lucky enough to have known him; his spirit will live on through our love and memories. Doc requested that his friends and family remember him not through a gloomy funeral, but through a joyous celebration of his life. The Life Celebration will take place in Waukegan, IL on a date to be announced.

Belated condolences to the family of Doctor Bill. He and I were classmates and study partners in Chiropractic College in the 1970's. Several of us spent many a night in study marathons at his family's little apartment. Bill was one of the most well liked members of the class, always upbeat and looking on the positive side of things. May the Peace of Christ be with you.

To Joann and family: Please know your family is in my prayers at this time of loss. I have fond memories of one of the "best Chiropractors" when living in Waukegan. Bill was a fun-loving guy plus we both shared early November b'days. He was an avid Bear fan and I am an avid Packer fan so we always had good NFL discussions. May he rest in peace. The Lord be with you, give you courage and strength to move forward and treasure all the good memories. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!

Dear Jo Ann,

It is with a heavy heart I send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I spent many days in your front yard chatting with Bill and Maxie. Bill always had a wonderful story to tell and kept me laughing all the time. I am so sorry for your loss. I have always admired your strength. That strength and the love of your family and friends will be a great comfort to you at this time.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Sue D'Avanzo

My sympathies to Bill's family. I remember having him in one of my classes in high school as I was in the class of '73. He was very humorous and kept people smiling and laughing. He was my Dad's chiropractor. I think I saw him at the last class reunion.

I fondly remember Bill as a student in my speech class at Waukegan High School..... the class was a split class(class/lunch/class) and students were not permitted to leave the building for lunch, but Bill a few other guys did and I knew about.... I told them I wouldn't report them as long as they brought me back something.... they always did!! My prayers and condolences to Judy and Bill's entire family.
