Bill was a perfect example of a dying breed, the true family man. He was an expert for his work in computers and didn't waste time on frivolous pastimes, with the exception of his passion for Jazz. Instead, he spent every moment he could making his family feel happy and secure. His wife, Min, was his college sweetheart, who drew him out into the world and taught him to enjoy traveling, to savor the little things, and to smile easily. One of Min's favorite qualities in Bill was his mechanical mind, which made him an unmatched fix-it man around their cozy home in West Allis. Bill raised four children, Steve, Julie, Jack and Bob, upon whom he imparted his natural brilliance and infinite wisdom. Everyone who meets the children agrees that showing four people how to live like he did was Bill's greatest accomplishment.
