Bill lived in Fairmount, you could find him riding his scooter and soaking up the sunshine in the summer. He loved hanging with his friends, country music, western movies and cold beer. Bill was an avid Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears fan. Before he was divorced he was married to Kim Wolfe-Coon, who still remains a part of our family. Bill loved spending time with his son Billy and his six beautiful grandkids. His favorite thing to do with them was to give them rides on the scooter when they were little. They have been coming to see grandpa every Saturday and he looks forward to their visits. He has a special place in his heart for his Uncle Ray and can't wait to be with him and his dad and sister.
