Sending my deepest sympathy to Bill’s family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nancy, Mindy, and all. Sorry for your loss. Bill worked for my Dad Mark Sisson for years. Edith also while you children were small. Bill was a good friend, and classmate to my passed friend Ralph Burkhart. Bill did work for me at home several times. Samphany to the entire Hellmich families.  ❤️🙏

So sorry that another member of the family passed so quickly.  My sympathies to the families involved.


My sincere condolences for your loss. Bill was always my mother's favorite brother-in-law. I'll remember him as a kind man who enjoyed a good laugh.  


So sorry to hear about uncle Bill but glad he is not suffering. I tell stories about him often. What a wonderful dad and uncle. I smile when I think about him and growing up visiting you all so often. My children have cousins and family but I don’t think they could possibly love them as much as we loved each other. My prayers are with you all.

Larry worked under Bill through the school system.   Larry had alot of respect for Bill.  A huge loss to our community.   Praying for the family during this difficult time. 

Our heartfelt sympathy to all the family at this very difficult time.  Bill was a wonderful person and will be missed.  May our Almighty Father wrap his loving arms around all of you.  Love, hugs and prayers.   ❤️


Nanci, Mendy, Sandy, Dana, and Todd. I am so sorry to hear about Bill. I will never forget him as my second Dad in the neighborhood. I am so grateful for his influence on my life. He was my Confirmation sponsor (father). I have lost touch with all of you after Dad's death. Too many of our fathers are no longer with us. Yours and mine were examples of common sense knowledge and idealism. My prayers are with you and for him.  "In my Father's House are many mansions" (John 14:2); I'm sure Bill will be helpful when it is time to build a few more, and Edith will be a handy realtor if the need should arise. 

I could always SMELL when Bill was working in his shop...the sweet scent of his tobacco filled the air. He and my dad loved sharing their projects with each other - the frustrations or joy of a finished project with one who understood. I still feel guilty about a day Bill overheard a “disagreement” Todd and I had. Bill came bursting from the workshop, yanking his belt, not missing a stride. This man’s love for his family, pride in his children, and hard work will forever be his legacy. Rest in piece, neighbor...Mr. Hellmich ♥️

So very sorry to hear of Bill's passing.  He, as well as his family, were former neighbors to us many years ago.  Bill was a great guy, and he and Edith raised five wonderful children.  We extend our deepest sympathy to Nanci, Mendy, Sandi, Dana and Todd, and to all of their families.   

Sending my deepest sympathy to all of the Hellmich family. Bill was a good man. May he Rest In Peace.

So sorry to learn of Bill's passing.  Bill taught me the value of an honest day's work while I was one of his "college boys" working for the schools over the summer.  He made me see the value in paying attention to detail and doing my job to the best of my ability.  I learned so much from him and appreciate the things he took the time to show me, even though a few of those things were taught more than once and in a slightly raised voice!  RIP to a great man.
