Beth, Maureen, Eileen, Billy and all the grandchildren. Please accept my deepest condolences at the loss of your dad and grandfather. Your dad was just like a second father to me when we were growing up. When your dad and my dad were looking for us, we made sure we got home as soon as possible. We are both so lucky that we had such great, loving, role models for parents. Not everyone does. Your dad invited me to come watch football with your family some weekend. I should have gone. You never know when it will be too late. Love, Karen
So sorry for your loss Bill and family.
Hoping you can find comfort in the memories.
Your Dad Bill was a symbol to all of us at St Luke’s. To see him stand so tall every week at mass. He was a loving and caring man. He will be missed.
Sorry for the loss of Bill. It was a pleasure to have been an usher with Bill for many years at St Luke’s Church.
Bill was a special person. I will never forget the Blizzard of 1978. Roads were unplowed. We had people over for dinner who had walked over and one of the guests was a doctor. Lo and behold, a plow came and cleared our road. This had to be the work of Bill Scheibl who was Director of Public Works at the time. The doctor was indignent that our road had been plowed and his wasn’t. That was the kind of guy that Bill was.
My condolences to his family.
My deepest condolences to Bill’s family on his passing. I met Bill through the cribbage group at the Elks, he taught me much about the game’s strategy and would not hesitate to comment on my blunders! he had a wonderful sense of humor and was always a gentleman. Rest in peace Bill.
