Dear Nancy and Family,

Although we had lost touch with you, we were saddened to learn of Bill's death. We have so many nice memories of him from the Westchester Swim club....the back stroker. Our family remembers him well and will remember all of you in our prayers. The Lisy Family

I started with Bill at the State's Attorney's office many years ago. Although I lost touch with him, I have nothing but fond memories of Bill. He was liked by everyone. He will be missed.

To Bill's Family -



I, too, worked with Bill at the State's Attorney's Office. When I think of him - I think of a gracious, warm and wonderful guy. I hadn't seen him often in the last couple of years but when I ran into him at the Daley Center - I always smiled. He was a guy that I am proud to have called a friend and collegue. He will be missed terribly. You are in my thoughts and prayers - take care.

Nancy and Ed,

I wanted to express my sincere sympathy to your family. I worked with Bill at the State's Attorney's Office. He was a wonderful mentor and friend. When I think of Bill, I see his happy face with a huge smile and a hearty laugh. I will truly miss him.

Please know that you and Bill's daughters will be in my thoughts and prayers.

With much love and sympathy.



Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.
