William Spicer Obituary

I will never forget Bill as the kind and wonderful cousin he was-and in my heart-always WILL be!

Our condolences to Bill's family. I remember him from all the way through Maine South days. May you rest in Peace, Bill.

To the Spicer Family -
Growing up on Rose Avenue in Park Ridge created many fun memories of all the kids playing together in the neighborhood. While we haven't seen any of the "boys" in years, the Powers Family sends our deepest sympathy to each of you and your families after Bill's passing.

Living on Home Ave, it was an easy walk or bike ride to Rose Ave to see the Spicer family. Usually it was to play with Bobby, but Bill and Tom always tagged along for many softball games, etc. at Carpenter. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

What sad news to learn of the death of Bill Spicer. My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and children and to Bob,Tom, Steve and Andy and their families. The growing up years spent on Rose Avenue are precious memories to me. Bill was such good kid and grew up to be a good man. Such a loss.

I go all the way back with Bill to Carpenter School days. Played all kinds of baseball, basketball, and touch football Bill and his brother Tom at Carpenter. Was in same class with Bill in kindergarten and 5th grade, and played little league and Pony League baseball against him. Incredible competitor all the way through high school. I'll keep a good thought in his memory and for his entire family.

I went to high school with Bill, but did not know him personally, yet I was saddened to hear of your loss. Condolences and prayers to you and your family.

The passing of Bill was indeed sad news to hear. I knew Bill and his brothers in high school, and always thought of them as smart, handsome, congenial and all around good guys. Bill will be missed by many. My heart goes out to Bill's family. Nancy (Sundberg) Abramovitz

I had the good fortune of going to school and playing Little League with Bill in Park Ridge. I was touched and saddened to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

Kathy and the whole family. Only prayers and love today. I knew Bill very well through AHYAA and grew to respect his leadership and devotion to youth athletics. So many thousands of children benefited from Bill, we can only hope to be the man he was. God put Bill here and he influenced many of the areas coaches, fathers, volunteers to do just a little more for the community. His legacy will live on through the youth of this community, one Bill helped build so strong. Love, Joe, Sue, Andrew, Ali and Alex Preissing

Kathy, so sorry to hear of the passing of Bill, he was a great friend for so many years.
I will be praying for you and your kids during these tough times.

So sorry for your loss,our prayers are with your family

We knew Bill as a neighbor and coach for our kids in AHYAA. When John was sick with Addisons disease, Bill visited and brought ice cream for all! He always asked how could he help or what could he do to make it better. He was tireless in all his projects and causes. Our community has a lost a great citizen and heaven has gained a devoted coach, ref, and worker bee! Our hearts and prayers our with Kathy, Billy, Brian and Kelly. His family was the love of his life. God Bless the Spicer family and thanks for being a part of the Sullivan family's life.

Dear Kathy and the entire Spicer family,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Hadn't seen Bill in a few years but remember him as a class act and a true competitor...in everything. He'll be missed by those he's touched along the way.

As always, Bill fought a good battle but was taken from us way too early. Delighted both of you got involved in Prospect Band activities; the organization and community obviously are better for it. You both left quite a legacy. Our thoughts are with you as you treasure your many memories.

So sorry for your loss. Bill was a great ref and an even better man to our school and me.

We are so sorry for your loss. Bill and I lost touch after high school, but I will always remember him as a great guy and class act. Our thoughts are with you. Hold onto your many wonderful memories.

We came to know Bill, 20 years ago. Bill coached our oldest son in baseball. He went on to coach, ref or umpire games for our 7 children. When we think of how fortunate we are to call Arlington Heights our home. It is someone like Bill, who took the time that made our family realize what a great community we live in.

God Bless the Spicer Family,

Our deepest regards, The Flood Family

Dear Kathy & family,
I am truly saddened to learn of Bill's passing. Unlike many Bill was sincere and genuine and this is certainly a great loss.

Many of us at the Wellness Center in Arlington Heights know of Bill's kind and friendly nature. We enjoyed watching him and his many friends play basketball. May the kindness that he brought to those he touched be an inspiration to us all. My deepest sympathy to Bill's family. May God give you comfort during this sad time in your lives.

My deepest sympathies on your loss. May you draw close to God in prayer and find comfort in reading his Word.

We are very sorry for your loss from our family to yours. He will be truly missed by all the youth he helped coach.
The Mayer Family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
