We are so very sorry. We are neighbors with Bill’s in-laws and met him only a few memorable times.
Our hearts are with the entire family.

I went to Nicolet high school with Bill “All those years ago;”( Class of ‘73) in fact I’m on the 50 year reunion committee & an “mc” & was going to call Bill & convince him to join us only to find out that he had “Sadly passed.” After high school & about 15-20 years ago Bill & his family were staying at the Pointe Hotel up North just as you’re coming into Minocqua, Wi. Our family happened to be there too. “And Bill & I” talked poolside for awhile obviously about the good ‘ol days & our vocations too. Fast forward to spring of 2010 wherein I did a “short stint” at Bill’s company, Lark Uniform. In that time I knew Bill to be “kind but quiet,” fair & firm” a savvy & successful businessman characterized by the fact that it was a growing business for over 43 years! That “says a lot” about the “down to earth” kind of guy Bill was! Wish I could have gotten to know you even better Bill! The “hurt & heartache” will remain, but “All things must pass.” I will truly miss you my friend. “GODSPEED!” John A. Kaelin
