Kathy;
I learned about Bill only this past Saturday. Although it has been years since I've seen either of you, the loss hit hard. Those days waitressing at Wonderburger were some of the craziest times of my life. Never, ever will I forget Bill's kindness and soft heart. I don't think there is anyone on the planet who could say an unkind thing about him. Hence, I am so sorry for your loss. Also, I am not sure you would remember me. I'm the waitress who worked with both of you and went on to write for a living. My prayers are with your family.

Dear Kathy & Family:
Phil & I are very sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful person and we both enjoyed working with him. (Phil at ISI & Laurie at Arthur Andersen)Bill was such a hard worker and very dedicated to his work. I will never forget him and all the good times we all had at 33 W. Monroe. We will surely miss him and our prayers go out to you and your family during this challenging time.
May God Bless You and Keep you Strong!
All Our Best,

We just wanted to let you know that we are deeply sorry about Bill's passing. We always enjoyed spending time with him on the sidelines of our daughters' basketball games and thought he was a great person- kind and fun. Kelly also has fond memories of him always being a supportive parent/fan. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
The Jung Family

Even at 50 I often think of my days at St. Christiana and those people (who even though I never saw after graduation) knew that they were special - and that is what I thought of Bill - he was the nicest kid throughout our years at St. Christiana and later learning of him marrying Kathy (who I went to McAuley with). You are all in my prayers and I hope your memories of him keep your love alive. We will all see him again playing basketball with Bob Cook, Steve P, Mike Grant, Danny L, Dave LoBianco and so many others!!

It was close to 40 yrs. ago I was shooting hoops alone @ St. Christina's parking lot. When some skinny guy a little older than me joined me. He taught me the proper way to take a jump shot. I didn't know it was Jean's brother til later. I have never forgotten his kindness & I never will. Thanks Bill
My Prayers are with all the Pranske family

Dave and I send you our deepest sympathies. I am sure no words can replace the void left by such a great man, husband, father and friend but know how much he was loved and admired by so many people. I will never forget the wonderful and unique friendship we shared over the many years of working (and playing) together. Thanks to you all for sharing him with us.

Kathy: I remember that you and Bill were meant for each other...you both always knew that. Yours was the only truly enduring relationship of those turbulent teenage years...ups and downs aside. I am so happy that you wound up together and had many years of happiness and I am so sorry for your loss and pain. May your beautiful daughters and loving memories sustain you.
Bill's daughters: I haven't seen your dad in many years but we were once good teenage friends. He was ALWAYS a funny and kind person and friend. I'm sure he was the best dad...keep your memories close...your Dad will never be far away.
