How appropriate that this notice appeared to day, the day after his beloved Packers make a run for the Super Bowl. Been thinking of my adopted Irish Father often, as I recently had a hip replacement and am using his cane. Prayers to all.

My Uncle, my advice giver, especially as I felt I never needed any... since I was six years old. My pro football rival (see that ridiculous shirt he's wearing???) who happily took a few bucks from me and Katie over the years. I'll miss our regular emails about our White Sox and family and how he always insisted on visits. I think about him and miss him every day.

My love and prayers to all...

Willie knew both my husband and I. I worked with him at Chicago Title Insurance Company in Oak Forest for many years. He was always fun to be around. Had a great sense of humor and a great love for his wife & daughters. He will be missed by so many & I will miss our e-mails to each other. May God be with you at this time of the loss of such a wonderful man.

All our love to the family. Hard to believe that we won't have Willie and his "brother in law in spirit", Mike, sitting around the dining room table telling their stories and laughing out loud! We will them him.

Love Robert & Ruby
