Bill was a life-long kind of guy: a life-long resident of St. Paul, he graduated from Central High School in 1960, served on the St. Paul Winter Carnival Board, the Board for H.E.A.R.T., and the Foundation Board of LSS-MN; a life-long member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, he was actively involved in numerous leadership roles throughout his lifetime; and a life-long career in sales and distribution, devoting 40+ years building Midwest Sign and Screen Printing Supply into the premier distributor in those industries. Bill will always be remembered for his optimistic realism, unique sense of humor, and commitment to relationships: personal, professional, and spiritual.
