Our condolences to the family and to Bill's life long friends- we were so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Bill has been an honorary "member" of our Fromm family for almost as long as I can remember....always in attendance at holiday and other family gatherings....and always prepared to play a competitive game of Rook or Bridge. He was a very kind man and will be greatly missed.

Bill was a great neighbor. When we moved here 6 years ago, he was the first to welcome us and gave us an amazing history of this neighborhood and area. Since my husband’s first name is Gregg, we fondly called Bill, “Mr. Bill” to avoid confusion, lol. We are sad about his passing.

It is so sad to learn that Bill is gone. He was a kind and gentle man and a godsend to the Wyandotte County Historical Society and Museum. He identified thousands of pictures from the Kansan, while he shared his leadership and his carpentry skills. He built several displays and walls for the Museum. There was never anything asked of him that he didn't get done. He will be sadly missed. Our condolence's to his family and Donna's family during this time form the Wyandotte County Historical Society and Museum. It is an honor to follow him as President of the WCHS&M.
