His funeral is at 11 am tomorrow (Saturday) at Greater Holy Temple in Urbana. We expect it to be SRO.

Bill's funeral was this morning in Springfield. Claudia Lennhoff delivered the eulogy. It was pretty rough at times, but people are holding on to their memories of his wicked sense of humor and quiet strength to help them through this. There will also be another memorial for Bill at the Illinois Disciples Foundation in Champaign at a time to be determined.

I'm still collecting my thoughts to write up as a remembrance for both of them. I'll post them here if I'm able to finish something. Losing both of them literally within days of each other has been very hard to come to grips with.
