William Tansey Obituary

Me and dad going for a ride in the new car. Who needs seat belts or a car seat.

Dad and grandpa in Arizona

He was my intern @ CCH. He was very dependable & did excellent work.

We played together 4 mints

Just learned this from the Stritch alumni newsletter. I have known him for so many years. He has helped me in college and medical school. And I remember your wedding so much.

Dear Jackie and family,

Our deepest condolences and prayers for Bill. We saw Bill and Jackie's significant efforts for the Society of St. James, their efforts and great attitude were amazing. We just learned of this sad news today, and will pray for your family. Joel and Deb Stava

My profound apology, Jackie, for failing to learn of Bill's demise. We are in Sanibel with the family for the Christmas holidays. Bill was my intern on Ward 22. I have repeated many times my high regard for his integrity as an intern, professional career in Orthopedic Surgery, commitment to the Church--as a Deacon and his many contributions to his family and society. Bill left us all a wonderful legacy for all of those parameters.
Jackie, Pat and I extend our both admiration for Bill's life and sympathy to you an your family.

Dr. Tansey (or Deacon Bill) inspired me immensely when I first taught CCD or Religious Ed with both Jackie and him when I first arrived at Ascension. I taught several of his children all of whom carried a great spirit of wisdom and pleasantness derived from their great parents. As a Deacon he served Ascension and the Joliet Diocese with distinction as a true man of God and charity for all. May he now enjoy his well earned reward in eternity.

Dear Family, Please know that I'm remembering Bill in my Masses, Prayers, and Thought. He was a good classmate at LA. God Bless you all. Dr. Peter D. Roberson '54 LA

Dear Michelle, Mary and the entire Tansey family,
We are sorry for the loss of your father. I remember your father from St. Anne's when I was a Loyola medical student.
Bill and Kate Walsh

I remember Bill Tansey at St. Anne's and Loretto hospital.
He was an outstanding orthopedic doctor. May he rest in peace.

Bill Tansey was my brother-in-law and a wonderful human being. As I wrote to his children, there are good men and there great men, and then there's exceptional men who rise above everyone. Dr.William Tansey is one of those men. I couldn't have picked out a better husband for my sister, Jackie, nor a better father for all my nieces and nephews. He leaves a wonderful legacy and one that will be remembered for generations. I'm sure Bill is in heaven and with the saints and the Almighty.

Michelle, Jpe and Kelly
We are so saddened to hear of your loss. You will be in our thoughts and prayers this holiday season.
