I am sorry for your loss. Bill guided my faith. I actually mentioned him not long ago to my children.
Rose Anne and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing ,but knew he fought hard. Sending much love to you and your family. I remember when we first met in our support group and then through the years when you met and then married Bill. God Bless you always. Love, Michelle
We have known Bill since our days at St. Vincent High School in Akron in the early '60's. You will never find a happier, kinder, more outgoing and gracious person than Bill.
Over time we did not get to see him much but when we were able to it was always a wonderful visit. We will see you again Bill!

To the McCool and Sichau Families - I was so very sorry to receive the sad news about Bill's passing. He was a strong man spiritually and physically and a fighter to the end.I have been hoping and praying that he would rally and eventually be well enough to get home. The McCool and Sichau families are in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Bill at the rehearsal dinner for Jackie and Mike Sonderman. While he was in the seminary in Cleveland and I was student teaching in the area we kept in touch, mostly by phone. Later, he did the readings at our wedding and enjoyed a round of golf with us. Bill baptized our first two daughters ( Karen and Kim ). We moved from Wooster, Ohio to Strongsville at the same time that Bill was assigned to St. John Neuman Parish. What a wonderful coincidence! Bill also officiated at the same girls First Communions. We will remember Bill for his kindness, decency, and quirky sense of humor. May peace and joy travel with him on his journey to heaven.
