Our hearts go out to the Shannon family for the loss of a great husband, father, grandfather and good friend, Bill. We have wonderful memories of good times many years ago. His smile was his trademark. I don't believe Bill ever knew a stranger. Like you, we were so fortunate to have had Bill in our lives. God gave us memories so we could have roses in December. So in days of darkness cherish the moments you shared as they will give you strength. Most sincerely, Duane and Marilyn Johnson

To the Shannon family,
My thoughts and prayer are with you. I have many fond memories of Bill as kid growing up in the Supper Club Family. Bill always had a good story to tell and a sense of humor to go with it. Bill had a laugh that came from deep down and was always fun to be around. I hope you are thinking of all the great memories and celebrating Bills life, I will be.

To the Shannon family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have so many fond memories of my time as a kid with Bill. I think of baseball, picnics at Blackhawk Park, walking to the Dairy Queen from your house and playing games in your yard. I can hear Bill whistling to get us back to your house and can hear his laugh. I know my mom and dad's life was better because Bill was in it. I hope you are celebrating Bill's life and thinking about all the great memories, I know I am.

To the entire Shannon family, you have my sincere condolences on the passing of Willie. Worked with him throughout the years of Ferry-Morse, Agripro, and Remington. He was quite the character, always with a good story to tell. He will be missed. RIP Willie
