William Noesen was always Uncle Bill to me. My memories of Uncle Bill are mostly from childhood. Perhaps a few New Year's Eves or random get togethers with our two families. Uncle Bill always seemed to be smiling or telling a joke. All my memories of him evoke good times.

I remember on occasion, when the visits would linger later into the evening, I would catch Uncle Bill dozing off while sitting at the table. I thought it was miraculous. Only later did I find out it was because he would have to get up way before dawn to deliver newspapers before heading off to his second full time job. He may have been the hardest working person I ever met.

Much later in life I once took my folks to visit Uncle Bill in Waukegan.  He was still a force. He still had a joke. Lying in bed then,  during our entire visit, when he was in napping position, he never nodded off. 

My condolences to his family and especially Cathie and Debra with  whom I shared those long ago childhood memories. 

I’ll miss you my adopted father. My first memories are sitting with you and your wife at Kendra’s hockey game with Cathie pretending like she was coaching. My last memories are sharing barnabys puzza with you after a clean sweep of bingo!!
Rest In Peace!
