HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILLIE! 💜🥳🎉⭐️💚

Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I sincerely hope you’re finally at peace now. I know you had difficult personal struggles the whole time we were together and I’m so very sorry those struggles dominated your entire life. I do miss you, Willie. So often, I wish I could just hear the sound of your voice once again. 🙏🏻

With love, Sheila 🙏🏻

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, Willie. I remember you said you were born on Fathers Day and this year your birthday, again, fell on Fathers Day. I miss you so much, Willie. I hope you really are at peace now. I know life could be very hard for you. But, you managed to overcome some of its obstacles and you were so happy working at St. Juliana’s. I’m sure they appreciated having you there. I don’t think there was anything you couldn’t do with your hands, and do extremely well! I just wish we could have remained together. You were the only one I ever loved. God bless. You will forever remain in my thoughts. 💜

My condolences to Bill's family. I was sorry to learn this. Bill was my first high school boyfriend. Steve, I have so many memories of the Gyrations and our time spent together.

Bill was a great neighbor and the most genuine of souls. I look next door and feel such a sad emptiness. Bill will be missed, but more importantly, Bill will be remembered.

Much love and peace to his friends and family.

Love and peace,
Joan (next door)

I can no longer see you with my eyes or touch you with my hands, but I will feel you in my heart forever, Willie. And, though I am grateful to God that you are no longer in any pain, I still feel such sadness knowing you’re gone. I do know you’re in a far, far better place where you will finally be at peace. But, I will miss you more than I can say. God speed, Willie.

With all my love,

Sheila 💜💜💜

Your family's bowling alley was the recreational place to be in Morton Grove throughout my childhood. (where the McDonald's now stands) RIP, and may your next awareness find you in the loving presence of our Creator.
