William Herndon

William Brodie Herndon, 92, of Streamwood died November 21, 2020. Brodie was the beloved husband of Nancy for 43 years; loving father of David (Cathy) and Wayne Herndon.

Brodie was an army veteran, who served during the Korean War. He was a graphic artist who became a prolific writer and was a Member of the Civil War Round Table in Arlington Heights. As a long-time member of both the Buehler YMCA and Lattof YMCA, he was a physical fitness enthusiast. A life-long runner who became a dedicated swimmer after he could no longer run, Brodie developed a huge circle of friends through working out. As he gradually lost his sight over a 10-year period, they (and Nancy) were there to help him continue his physical regimen each day. As they did, they drew great inspiration from Brodie’s positive spirit.

A memorial visitation will be held Saturday September 25, 2021 from 2:00pm until time of memorial service 4:00pm at The Countryside Funeral Homes and Crematory, 1640 Greenmeadows Blvd., Streamwood.

Due to a family member being allergic to flowers, please do not send any flowers to the visitation.
