I didn’t know until today that “Chef Bill” passed. What a truly wonderful person! So much fun to be around and the absolute best chef ever. We used to visit a lot when he ran the cafeteria at SW/GA. And roosters — he loved them! Miss you and love you, my friend. Rest in peace.
Oh what a sweet boy he was. I have not seen him for many years but we were best buds when we lived across the street from each other in Guthrie. That was a lifetime ago but the memories are precious. He was always smiling and happy. My thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones that he left behind.
So sorry to hear this. Billy was such a fun person. Always smiling and fun to be around. Haven’t seen Billy after high school... but so thankful we reconnected on FB. Most of our memories are from grade school. Wonderful memories. Rest In Peace my Friend.
Wearing a trenchcoat called “ Schultzie” ( after the Hogan’s Hero character Sgt. Schultz) no one defined the word “friend” better than Bill Monell.
I am so sorry that Billy left us too soon. He was always so great to be around and a great person. He loved to joke and laugh and he had a great laugh and a great attitude and friendly to everyone and loved to cook. Loved sharing study hall with him at Todd Central. And fortunately we had it in the gym instead of the library, because our group would have been in trouble a lot. We will miss you Billy. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.He will be greatly missed. May fond and happy memories help to comfort you during the days ahead..
