Bill's Passing brings back a flood of memories for me. We started in the Electrical Industry at about the same time; Bill had just gotten out of the Army and I was fresh out of school. Bill's dad, Joe Simons Jr., was one of our Co-Sponsors for entre into the Chicago Little Wheels Club...,this was probably a big break for both us. I enjoyed seeing Bill and visiting with him at his brother-in-law's passing - life is so short. My sincere condolences to Nana and their beautiful extended Family.

Bill was a great guy. He was my sponsor for little wheels and during lunches at Sabatino's over cocktails mentored and helped keep me out of trouble. He will be fondly remembered. Bob Bensdorf

To the entire Simons family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Bill fought hard to stay with you. Distance prevents me from attending the wake, but my thoughts will be with you.
