Hello,
I knew Billy on several levels, though we didn't talk much lately. Our hoops conversations would often last long on the phone. As a coach I asked for advice on coaching my son, and he told me about his son. He really wanted his son to know hoops didn't matter much when it came to father/son relationship- he loved his son no matter what- that came out strongly in our conversation and I often remember that when coaching my own son in high school at Armstrong HS.

Stunned is the best word to convey how I felt when I heard about Bill's death. It was almost the same as hearing about Herb Brooks. A total shock. As a fellow classmate I followed Bill's coaching career and was proud at his success. At class reunions we always said "hi" and we'd talk. I'll miss his positive energy and good humor. If I had been in town I surely would have been at the service.

I have fond memories of Bill's earlier days even before he married Andrea. I believe I was at the wedding. He has coached many young women I know, including Jill Tichy. I think of you all often. I am so sorry the world lost his great energy so early. Kathy Sworsky Anlauf

AS a fellow classmate and team member I was so very sorry to hear the sad news. Billy was always a gentleman in so many ways. Great person, team mate, and track star. He will be missed. God Bless his wife and family. Words can not express the sorrow I have in hearing this news.

As a judge in St.Paul I was well aware of the wonderful work Bill did there but not so much of his "other life" as a coach etc. A nice man who touched many and a life well lived. My condolences to Joan and the family.

Billy McKee was perhaps the nicest boy at Cretin- funny and warm. I'm so sorry your loss.

I am very saddened at the news of Bill's passing. He was always fun to visit with and talk hoops. The lives he touched will be remembered forever. I'm sure he already has a few NoonBall games under his belt in Heaven!
