Bill valued hard work and was an amazing provider for his family. He was a loyal employee of Southern Concrete, Jim Ruple, Jim Copple, Zieglers, and Warren G. Murray Center. He was a member of the Laborer Hall Local 109. Bill was an avid Chicago Cubs fan and was so happy to celebrate their 2016 World Series victory. He enjoyed fishing off the dock and deer watching. He loved to travel to Arthur, Illinois to enjoy the simple pace of Amish farm life, see the beauty of the scenery and eat their homemade meals. He like to attend auctions in search of his next treasures. Bill was a quiet man who had a huge heart for others. His grateful neighbors will remember his generosity in the way he would mow for the whole neighborhood. Bill’s kindness, gentle spirit, and friendship will be remembered fondly.
