So sorry to read of Bill’s passing. We went to school together in East Saint Louis back in those early days of childhood. I extend my condolences to his remaining family members and friends. Please be comforted knowing Bill now rests in the Loving Arms of our Blessed Savior; JESUS CHRIST. Rest in Peace My Friend.

My name is Melissa Mackin, I am Bills niece from Bills half brother Joseph Mackin. I am devestated and heartbroken at this news . I just learned of this, in all fairness I live in North Carolina, but I spoke to him regularly. It finds me great peace that my dear uncle is now with my grandma Bert Mackin and my Grandpa Leo Mackin, and my son who had an untimely passing in April of 2020. I loved him so much but have so many good memories I will always have in my heart! You fly high Uncle Bill, Rest In Peace until we meet again😭😢
