"Dear Tammy, Mary, and Family,As the Director of Alumni Relations Emeritus at Saint Viator High School, I offer you the sympathy and prayers of the Saint Viator/Sacred Heart of Mary Community. Know that our hearts go out to you as you begin your journey of grief. You are in our prayers as you continue to share the stories, laugh and cry, and find ways to celebrate the life of your husband, your brother, and the love you shared.As I read the obituary for this "…devoted Husband, Son, Brother, Son in Law, Uncle and cherished Friend to many…", I was reminded of an adaptation of a reading from the Book of Sirach. "Let us praise an illustrious man, faithful to his family and friends, strong in his love. At peace in his heart and his world, he has left us his good name, and we recount his life of praiseworthy deeds. A generous man his good works will never be forgotten Among his family and friends remains a rich inheritance born of him…. His name lives on from generation to generation. We gather to sing his praises. We proclaim his wisdom and love of life all our days."We want you to know that we are proud to “claim” Bill, as an alumnus. We will remember Bill and celebrate the fact that he continues to be a member of our community at our annual Alumni Memorial Mass, which will be celebrated in the Saint Viator Alumni Memorial Chapel, most likely on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 10 am. Information about this Mass, is available at SaintViator.com in the Alumni section.As is our tradition, in October 2025 we will order a plaque with Bill's name to prayerfully honor him, along with other deceased alumni from Saint Viator and Sacred Heart of Mary, on a wall in the chapel.Also, Bill's name will be listed in the "In Memoriam" section of our next issue of our news magazine, A Lion for Life.May God’s promise that life is changed, not ended, comfort you! May the knowledge that Bill lives on in your goodness give you peace and hope!Take care and God bless you with those gifts you most need!

"Bill was one of my best friends, I will miss him so much. I was truly shocked when I had heard the sad news. His knowledge of music, the Three Stooges, most movie trivia was amazing. Bill and the Komparda family's generosity was second to none. Having been invited many by them many times up to Northwoods in Wisconsin."
