He departed this world on July 18, 2023 surrounded with love and the presence of his family. He leaves behind a legacy of joy, kindness and cherished memories that will forever live in our hearts.

Bill had a passion for cheering on his Chicago Cubs and most importantly his family who brought him immense joy. He was very head strong, loyal and loving man. He enjoyed his bourbon, cigars, Frank Sinatra music and his loving dog companions.

He was a devout Catholic, a member of the Knights of Columbus, and enjoyed spending time outside playing golf. He was a diligent worker and lived life to the fullest. The most important aspect of Bill’s life was his family and his religious beliefs.
