Bill was born December 27, 1934 in Chicago to William and Loretta (Liddy) White. He served in the military during the Korean Conflict and was formerly employed in the savings and loan industry including Bell Savings, Chemical Bank, and Community Home Mortgage.
Bill always put family first - his loving wife of 58 years, Peg, his 5 children, and his 15 grandchildren. He was so proud of each and every one of them. A man who told many jokes - some funny, some that were kinda funny, and all repeated many times. Bill loved playing golf with his friends and having a Stroh's with anyone that had time to sit down and chat. Bill first met Peg at Paw Paw Lake, and later purchased a cottage, and then eventually made the lake his year-round home. He loved spending time on the lake and taking friends and family on boat rides.
Bill was proceeded in death by his parents William and Loretta, and his sisters Fran Schnitzius and Nancy Bishop. Survivors include his wife Peg (Loughran) White; five children, Donna (Tom) Hannemann, Eileen (Glen) Noren, Bill (Lori) White, Patty (Paul) Crescenzo, and Meg (Tim) Shanley; 15 grandchildren, Danny, Maggie, Mary Claire, and Kathleen Noren, Megan, Kelly, and Lauren Hannemann, Emily, Ashley, William, and Patrick White, and Ryan, Quinn, Peter, and Charlie Shanley. Bill was also survived by his sister Ruth Nelson and two sisters-in-law, Kathy (Will) Myers, and Sue (John) Riley.
Bill was a faithful friend, a good neighbor, and the personification of a life well lived.
