Bill Newhouse's Family Fund

Hi, my name is Tom.

I am a manager at an electrical company in the Chicagoland area. If you don't know much about our trade, I can tell you this - we are a brotherhood, and always look after eachother. Tragically, one of our teammates passed away last week. It was unexpected and hit us incredibly hard.

His Name is Bill Newhouse. Bill had a beautiful family of his own, but joined our Electrical family about a year ago. Bill came in looking for a position as an electrician and I was very pleased to be able to bring him on as a new member of our team. It can be hard to find good people but right off the bat Bill fit in very well and distinguished himself as a higher-level technician. Bill's passion for being an electrician showed in how he took care of his customer's safety concerns and performed his duties as an electrician.

Bill was loved by everyone that he came in contact with. He had a great sense of humor that he hid from me for some time until one of his apprentices told me how Bill was always crackin' him up. I looked at the apprentice and asked if we were talking about the same guy and he was confused. It turns out Bill was an absolute professional in the office but watching him break out of his shell was awesome. He made everyone around him smile.

Best of all Bill was a husband and father. Husband to his loving wife Sarah and father to two daughters Makayla and Tenleigh.

Bill was the provider for his family. This is why we have started this Go Fund Me Page. We would like to raise as many funds as possible to take the burden off of Sarah.

If you have taken the time to read this much about Bill's story, I thank you. That being said we are calling all electricians, all tradesmen, and anyone who wants to help this family to donate.

The money will be used to take care of any bills and funeral expenses.

Thank you again for sharing with me in Bill's memory and for anything you can contribute.
