      William "Bill" E. Conroy, age 81, passed away peacefully with family by his side Sunday, February 22, 2015, at the Joliet Area Community Hospice.

      Survived by his loving and devoted wife of 43 1/2 years, Dolores (nee Batalon); he leaves to cherish his memory one son, Raymond (Annie) of More Head City, NC; and one daughter, Lynette (Gregg) Wilson of Rockford. Bill will be remembered as a loving grandfather and great-grandfather. His five grandchildren, Steven (Denise), David (Andrea), Raymond Jr. "Eddy" (Tabitha), Timothy (Regina) Conroy and Leslie (Jason) Mann; and eleven great-grandchildren, all brought him much joy. Bill's entire family meant the world to him. He is also survived by two sisters, Patricia (late Donald) Conroy and Sharon (Leonard) Ciarlette; two brothers, Gene (Eileen) Conroy of Spring Valley, IL and James (Marilyn) Conroy of Avon Park, FL; and numerous nephews and nieces.

      Preceded in death by his first wife, Grace (nee White) Conroy; his parents, Helen and James Conroy; and one sister, Georgia (late Richard) Scheidt.

      Bill attended Joliet Catholic High School. He was a member of the Joliet Moose Lodge and longtime member of Union Local #75. He was employed by Local #75 from 1954 until his retirement in 1995. One of his favorite pastimes was washing and waxing his cars. He also enjoyed spending his time outdoors and took pride caring for his yard. Bill also found great pleasure when he was able to help someone in need. He looked forward to his daily routine of coffee at McDonald's with his buddies, including his best friend, John Knorr.

      The Conroys will always remember the staff and physicians at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center as well as Deacon Marco and everyone at Joliet Area Community Hospice for the wonderful care and comfort provided Bill and his family.
