Phillis,
We were so sad to here about Bill. I met Bill about 28 years ago through my father Russ and CT&I. I feel very lucky to have spent time with Bill at social events and on the golf course. He was a true gentleman and friend to all and he will be missed by many. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Ron Kennedy and family

I knew Bill from our Green Valley golf league. He was always one of my favorites to golf with because of his wit and personality. He took me four-wheeling in the mountains one day last spring. It was one of the highlights of the year for me, and I'm especially glad to have shared that experience with Bill. He will be greatly missed.

Sorry to see the loss of a great husband,father,grandfather and friend. My sympathy goes out to you all.

We share your grief, and your in our prayers.  We will always remember him as a wonderful friend and parent, and husband, none better.
Bob & blenda

My thoughts and prayers will be with the family.
Bill was a gentleman and a very good person.

Dear Phyllis,
I was shocked to hear from Evie, about Bill's sudden death.  What a shocker.  As you probibly know, Harry died last November, so I am sorta new at widowhood too.    Believe me, Kim will be your rock. Our kids have needed us, but now they are really needed.  I still have my days, but ya just have to be strong and keep really busy...My thoughts and prayers are sure with you...Donna Bensenberg

Aunt Phyllis, Kim & Ashley,
We just wanted to express how sorry we are about the loss of Uncle ""Bullhead"". He always brought a smile to my face with all his hugs he gave. We wish we could have been there during this difficult time. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  
We love you,
Stephanie, Patrick, Austin and Averi

Phylllis, Kim and family,
I was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I did not know of the arrangements until today and, of course, was unable to send flowers at the late hour I learned of it. Mike Kulig called me to let me know but did not have any info about the services. I have always admired and respected Bill and learned many things from him during my years at his side. He knew his business and ran it like a well oiled machine. I have thought of you all many times over the years and have missed the conversations I used to have with ""Doc"" Phylllis. Bill will be missed by many but, forgotten by few. He used to say to me ""don't confuse effort with results"". I think he made all the effort worth the results in his life and I will think of him often.
Love,
Tom

Phillis,Kim,Joe,Ashley,
I was reading the paper today and saw where Bill had passed away. I was shocked. I wish that I could be with you in your time of sorrow, but know that I am & we are with you in thought and prayers as always. Should I be able to do anything for you please give me a call. You have my number. Remember that we love all of you very much. Love your older sister. Vickie

Dear Phyllis and Kim and families: We had just come home from a funeral that I played at our church- Normally I don't look at the obituaries but I did for some reason today and saw Bill's picture and was so saddened that he had passed away. Phill, it may have been a long time since we have talked, but we still remember you both with fond memories. I know that you will really miss him and there will be some tough times ahead, but Kim will be there for you I'm sure. I can still remember when she was a little tyke and we would be at your house. You were a great mom and a good friend and we will miss you both because I doubt that we'll ever see you again. Please know that our prayers are with you and wish we could be there too. Love and prayers, Nancy

Phyllis, Kim, Joe and Ashley,
Losing a man like Bill is a loss like no other.  It seems that words cannot express our true feelings or even explain what an impact just having Bill in our lives has meant to us.
I first met Bill at Evans Mfg. Co. in 1980 while making a joint call there with Bill Davis.  Phyllis was working in the office.  Bill was a delight to call on with his winning smile and hearty chuckle, and little did I know then that this was the beginning of a relationship that would expand to our own family.  Our son, Brad and our daughter Brenda love you too.
That humble beginning grew into a personal friendship that has moade fond memories for all of us that we will cherish forever.
A few flashbacks.....
...Mushroom hunting on the farm
...Golf at numerous courses - Short Hills, Amana, Oakwood, Emeis, Glynns Creek, Palmer Hills, Pinnacle, Byron Hills, Aledo, several Chicago courses and others.
...Hockey games...""Go Mallards!!!""
...Joint business trips and sales calls (what a pro)
...Many lunches.
...Dinners with our wives and friends.  Velies and Short Hills
...Our annual CT&I Christmas Parties.
Our last get-together was the boat trip from Jim and Kathy Massa's home in Hampton, Illinois, on their boat.  Down the Mississippi River to Davenport with Bill and Phyllis, Jerry and Julie Tyrell, my wife Marilyn and me.  What a beautiful evening!  What great friends!
May the memories you have made through the years sustain you and be your comfort in the weeks and years ahead.
Love always, 
Your friends,
Marilyn and John Creighton

Dear Phyllis and Family:
We are so sorry to learn of Bill's death.  He was such a nich person.  Our friendship goes back to our playing softball days.  It was always good to visit with him at the Mallards games....always had a smile and friendly greeting.  It was good to be his friend.

Dear Phyllis, Kim and Ashley,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Bill. Bill was truly a class act. Having worked for Bill for over 20 years was definitely a ride of a lifetime. Bill taught me a lot about the business in those years that I?'m sure I would not have learned had I not worked for him. Some lessons came easy, some not so easy. I will always remember Bill constantly telling me that I needed to get my hair cut. Finally Bill told me that I should talk to ?""mom?"" (Phyllis) and he was sure that if I drove out to their house, she would cut my hair for me. Well to make a long story short, I got lost driving out to their house and finally had to have the Port Byron police lead me to it. As I pulled in the drive I could see Bill sitting on the porch just a laughing away. So from then on whenever anybody would ask for directions from me, in Bill?'s presence, he would just chuckle, we both knew what it was about. Bill you will always have a special place in my heart and will truly be missed. 
Doug Gipe

I always enjoyed being around Bill.  He enjoyed Myrna's cookies that I tried to keep him supplied with during golf.  He was a real gentleman and a pleasure to be around. He will be missed.

DEAREST PHYLLIS AND FAMILY,
WE SHARE YOUR GRIEF AND PAIN WITH THE LOSS OF OUR GOOD FRIEND BILL.  MAY GOD TOUCH AND EASE YOUR HEARTACHE.
WE LOVE YOU,
JIM AND LINDA

I was sorry to learn of Bill's death.  Please accept my sincere sympathy on Bill's passing.

Kim, I'm  sorry to have read about your father.  My condolences to you and your family

Bev and I express our heartfelt sympathy to Phyllis and the family. Bill and I go back a long time to our high school days and time in the Naval Reserve. In later years,during our business luches, we would solve the problems of the world and then friendly haggle over who bought lunch last time. Bill to me was many things, a customer, a dear friend, but always a gentleman. Bev and I join in sharing the loss of this very special person.

Kim, Phyllis, Ashley, and family please accept my sincere condolences.  Bill was an absolute pleasure to talk with and be with no matter where you ran into him.  All those years of spening time with all of you at the Mallards games and the QCSC are memories that far ourweigh the value of the tickets or the game itself.  Bill was truly a reflection of his entire family that you could not help but love.  His pride in all of you shined brightly in every conversation he had.  While the loss of Bill will hurt for some time, the memories he created and the legacy he left in each of you will be felt forever.

I spent 17 years at CT&I's Milan facility and have fond memories of working with Bill and Evans Mfg. I looked forward to my inventory visits as Bill was so uplifting and a joy to be with. I offer my sympathies to Phyllis and his family. You are in our prayers.

RUSS AND I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF BILL EVANS. RUSS ALWAYS ENJOYED TALKING BUSINESS WITH BILL AND WE BOTH ENJOYED BEING WITH BOTH OF YOU AT SOCIAL EVENTS. PHYLLIS YOU HAVE OUR SINCERE SYMPATHY AND WILL BE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME.RUSS AND DELONA KENNEDY

Remember when you moved into the house in Silvis and Jack Hogan myself and Bill went to his fathers home and cut sod for your yard? We rented a sod cutter and took it to Bill,s Dad,s house and started to cut, we could not getit to self propell so took a rope and would take turns pulling it, i went home and got my riding mower and we then pulled it with that till we burned up the clutch, with that Bill laid on the ground next to the machine running and was touching some thing on the side of it and all of a sudden it took off cutting. We really had a good laugh over that. We still think of you two,you were and still are GOOD FREINDS. Bill- BETTY

Phyllis,  
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I am sorry for your loss.
Laurie (Coumadin Clinic - Moline)

Dear Kim:
Please accept my condolences for your great loss. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of your father.

MY CONDOLANCES TO THE FAMILY OF BILL EVANS. I ALWAYS ENJOY PLAYING GOLF WITH HIM AND THE 19TH HOLE AFTER THE GOLF GAME.  IN MY OPINION HE WAS A GENTLEMAN OF THE NTH MAGNITUDE. I WILL MISS HIM.

I too met Bill through my father John Creighton some 17+ years ago. I was fortunate to golf with Bill on several occasions and what a treat it was to watch him drive. He could really hit a ball. Later, Bill introduced hockey to my folks and to me and my family. Needless to say we got hooked and continue to carry season tickets to the Quad City Mallards. Two years ago, the Mallards had ""hockey stick night"". When entering the arena each fan was given a scratch ticket for a chance to win a hockey stick. That night my nephew Spencer and my son Johnathon and I went and Spencer was the only one to get a free hockey stick. When we went to pick it up, Bill was there ready to pick up his stick that he too had won. When I told him Johnathon did not get a stick, without hesitation Bill most graciously handed Johnathon his scratch ticket so that he too would take home a stick. That along with the great friendship he provided to my father will always be remembered by me.
May God bless Bill, Phyllis, Kim, and Ashley. Our prayers are with you.
Brad Creighton and Family

Bill will be missed by the Saturday Golf League very much.  Our Sympathy goes out for Bill's Wife Phyllis and Family.

Kim, Joe, Ashley and Family...so sorry to hear about your wonderful father, grandfather, and friend...my thoughts and prayers are with you all.   Much love, Emily aka Emme

I enjoyed playing golf with Bill and visiting with him very much, I and Mary wish to convey our heartfelt sympathy to the whole family, we will miss Bill.

I was introduce to Bill by my father, John Creighton.  I only saw him a few times, but he was always very kind and generous.  I was honored when he let me and my mother accompany him to a Brenda Lee concert and dinner.  We had a great time.  I will alway remember it.  The thing I will remember most though,is the way my father talked about Bill.  They always had a good time together.  Whether it was at a hockey game, playing golf, or just on the phone.  He was one of my fathers best friends that he loved like family.  Bill will always be remembered.
May God comfort Phyllis and the family at this time of their great loss.
Brenda Creighton-Wilson

Bill was a true gentleman with a quick wit. I always enjoyed the opportunity to partner up with him in our golf league. He will truly be missed.

Bill Evans, was a active member of our golfing group in the community of Green Valley, Arizona. Bill was known to us all as ""Gentleman Bill"" as he always showed only the best etiquette and manners on the golf course in his many outings with the guys. He was a big part of our group and often played twice a week with us. He would have been going to our annual outing to the White Mountains of Arizona next week, where his low handicap game, would no doubt have made him a prize winner for the event.  Bill was not only a good comrade, but a cheerful man who always found ways to laugh and enjoy life with the rest of us. He will be a tremendous loss to our group and his many other friends here in his home in Arizona.  Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Phyllis, and his entire family. You can all be proud; as Bill was the kind of man we all admired and wanted to be around us all forever!  Bill you left a lot of great memories with a lot of your golfing buddies who know you are teeing it up in heaven right now, with others in our group who have passed to the next dimension. Rest In Peace our friend.
(Respectfully submitted by Mac McCloud, Editor of the Pottinger Golfer's News).

Our deepest sympathy is extended to all of you at this difficult time.  Though we are far apart in miles, you are in our hearts.  We will all be with you in spirit on Wednesday. God Bless.
