William Boyle

William J. Boyle, 71, of Schaumburg, husband of Carol, nee Smith; dad of Christopher (Ashley) and Michael (Teresa); grandpa of Maggie, Hannah, Liam and Emma; brother of Kathleen (Paul) Smith, Mary (late Jerry) Hodge and Monica (Tom) Wendling and the late Patrick; uncle of many nieces and nephews and son of the late William, Sr and Kathleen.  He died peacefully surrounded by his family on Friday September 1.  To know Bill was to love him.  No one was safe from Bill’s jokes or antics.  He was known for carrying around fake bugs, reptiles, or anything that would give a good startle.  He had an infinite amount of jokes and riddles and would tell them to anyone at anytime!  If heaven gave superlatives, Bill would most definitely receive “Class Clown.”

He loved his family dearly- wife Carol of 44 years, sons Chris (Ashley) and Michael (Teresa).  But his greatest joy in life were his grandchildren, Maggie, Liam, Hannah, and Emma.  His grandchildren will remember him for his endless amount of energy to play with them, early morning trips to get doughnuts, and the constant laughing from his jokes.  Bill also leaves behind three sisters Kathy (Paul), Mary, Mona (Tom) and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Bill retired in 2021 from the City of Naperville after working there 33 years.  Prior to the City of Naperville, he worked as a police officer in Chicago and Los Almos, New Mexico.  In his free time, Bill loved to watch his beloved White Sox, Bears, and maintain his many virtual leagues with friends from across the globe.  He enjoyed working in his yard and being the unofficial mayor of his neighborhood.  He also spent many years volunteering as the Chairman of the Septemberfest Committee for the Village of Schaumburg.

Bill will be missed as much as he was loved.  He made a lasting impression on anyone that met him and the world is a little less bright without him here.

The family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses that cared for Bill.  Their love for their patients and job showed in their care for him.
