William F Green

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, William F. Green formerly of Hinsdale, age 91, he passed away peacefully on July 15th, surrounded by the love of his family.  Dad is preceded in death by his loving wife Patricia (Zitzka).  He leaves behind his sister Louise (Phil) and his four devoted children Susan, Bill Jr. (Marianne), Karen Erhart (Bill) and Tom (Pam) and three stepchildren. His loving grandchildren Brian (Lulu), William, Ashley (Mike), Nicole (Mike), Megan, Caitlin and Jordan and great grandchildren Nancy, Michael, Steven, Liam, Adeline, Noah, Mila, Fiona, Cameron and Bennett are missing him already!

Dad was an “all around” kind of a guy: entrepreneur of a gas station/food stop in Herbster, Wisconsin; Union pipefitter and service expert; trustee in the Village of Willowbrook (where he grew up and attended Hinsdale Highschool); avid craftsman – especially woodworking, specialty cook (his famous deviled eggs) and his home brewed Good Old Boy’s Cokee Patokee Juice. 

But most of all, dad was the best FATHER, FATHER-IN-LAW and GRANDFATHER anyone could ever have! He was always gifting us with fire-burned Lazy Susan’s, bookshelves in the shape of airplanes, wine bottles cut to be planters, mugs and Yeti’s colored and fired on his own homemade spit. He even made a numbered spinning wheel for the kids to spin and win prizes. He was always there for us, and our world won’t be the same without him!

A visitation will be held on Saturday August 3, 2024 from 10am until time of service at 12pm at Adolf & Powell Funeral Home, 7000 S Madison St, Willowbrook, IL 60527. Interment private

Interment: Clarendon Hills Cemetery, Section F, Angels Song Northwest, Spaces 19 & 20
