William Niemi Obituary

January 4 1965 - January 25 2024

Billy passed away suddenly at Holy Family Hospital in Des Plaines.

Although he endured many physical ailments throughout his life he was always happy and had a great smile.

He loved to joke and tease with his large, loving family. He had THE biggest, best "silent" laugh ever.

He was especially happy whenever there was a family get together and was able to watch the little ones run and play.

He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Especially by his Mom, Vera.

Rest in Peace, Billy. We love you.
