Bill’s kindness and humor will never be forgotten. All of my memories of Bill include laughter. He made the world a lighter place and will be deeply missed. Sending my love and condolences to the McDermott family.
I have such found and happy memories of Bill when we were kids and as adults. Bill was always kind and funny. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
We all love Bill and the McDermott family! Bill was always so kind and caring. He will be missed! We are holding all of you up in prayer.
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bill for nearly 28 years, and I will always remember him for his warm smile, kindness, and his generosity — especially his willingness to deliver items to the Johnson family for me.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Joe and I were so sorry to hear of Bills death. You are in our prayers. I am a cousin of your Dads. Bill sounds like a wonderful guy with many friends. He and Nick, and Ray and my dad Jerry Mahoney will be rooting for the Bluejays in the up and coming baseball game with the Kansas Jayhawks. Go Creighton. Sincerely Joe and Therese (Mahoney) Preusser
So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He will be greatly missed.
Bill and I both worked at Physicians Mutual. Bill also spearheaded the Company’s golf league for many years. He was a “prince” of a guy. Everybody and I mean everybody liked Bill. He will be greatly missed by many! My deepest sympathies go out to Bill’s family and his many friends. Rest in peace, my friend.
I am so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We worked together at PMIC and may or may not have shared a poker table on occasion. The entire McDermott clan is an awesome group of people so I send my condolences, my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.
Colleen and family, we are thinking of you during this difficult time.
PJ and I are so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a wonderful part of the McDermott family. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
