William Theis Obituary

On behalf of the Nathan Hale PTA, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Theis family. You are in our thoughts and prayers today

Bill, a kind, warm man and great ballpark companion. Diane, Lindsey, Lauren and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Diane and family, I am so sorry for the loss of Bill. I was a former classmate of you both from Calumet Park and Eisenhower. God bless you all and he will be remembered at mass at my church St. Jude. Sincerely, Mary (Kelly) Thorpe

I really enjoyed working with Bill at Hunt Oil and he was a very dear friend.

Bill was very generous to his friends - always quick to smile and eager to help. I will miss him...

On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of a man who was quick with an easy smile and a hearty laugh; a man who was justifiably proud of his country and his service to his country; a man that was quick to extend friendship; a man that I was proud to call a friend and former co-worker (Chieftain International).

Crossing the bar



by Alfred Tennyson



Sunset and evening star

And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar

When I put out to sea,



But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

Turns again home.



Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

When I embark;



For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place

The flood may bear me far

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have cross'd the bar.

On behalf od the former employees and Bill's co-workers of Santa Fe Minerals, our condolences for your loss of father, brother, son, and uncle.
