My thoughts and prayers go out to Dana, Jeff and family. A loss is never easy, but it is my hope that having love and support of those closest to you help make it even a little bit more manageable. Prayers for all.

Bill will be greatly missed.  We have been so blessed to call him friend.  We had so many dinners and cups of coffee.  We were accepted into the family and are indeed grateful.  Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Love, Neil and Darlene.

I worked with Bill at GHS. He always had a smile for everyone and his kindness touched many hearts of both kids and adults. He left a great legacy of service and goodness. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Bill worked with my father at Galesburg High School and later he became my high school counselor.  But he was more than just a counselor, he was genuinely interested in each and every student, tried to guide them in the right pathways and be there for all of them as he was for me.  Our families also shared experiences over the years at First Lutheran.  I am sorry to see such a kind and generous spirit leave this earth and the true impact he had on many lives may never be known but it was certainly positive.  May his spirit now rest with the Lord and may his family be consoled by the life he lived and the man he was.  Sincere condolences and sympathy.
