William’s Obituary William T. Divane III, age 53, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on January 28, 2019 following a devastating accident. Family meant the world to Bill, a gifted, compassionate and generous man who had an uncanny ability to make everyone around him feel welcome and well-loved. Bill’s trademark beaming smile and boundless energy lifted hearts. He challenged minds, whether he was coaching clients as a clinical psychologist or counselling students at a university center. Bill always took time to listen to, engage and empower others with his wise advice and witty humor. Bill adored his wife and two children and felt blessed by the full life he shared with them. He was a devoted husband and nurturing father who encouraged them all to reach beyond themselves. “Reaching beyond” defined Bill’s life, from his undergraduate years at Georgetown University to his doctorate at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology to a leadership role as President of Divane Brothers Electric. A world traveler, avid reader and outdoor enthusiast who enjoyed hiking, biking, swimming and backpacking, Bill was intellectually curious, spiritually driven and unconditionally selfless. Bill is survived by his wife of 20 years, Suzanne, and children, Maddie and Ian; his parents William and Jean Divane; his mother, Katherine Conley; his brother John Lincoln (Vicki), sister Cathy Bonaccorsi (Tom); stepsisters Theresa Frumkin (Kristian) and Sarah Gramer; and stepbrother Brendan Gramer (Laura). He is the loving uncle of 11 nieces and 12 nephews as well as a world of extended family and friends who will miss him dearly. Bill left us too early, but his light and love will touch us for a lifetime. Visitation is from 2-8 PM Tuesday February 5, 2019 at St. Mary of the Annunciation Church 22333 West Erhart Rd. Mundelein. Funeral mass is 10 AM Wednesday at the church. In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution may be made to Catholic Charities.
