William E. “Bill” Landon, 78 of Huntley, born into eternity Wednesday, December 24, 2014 with his beloved family by his side. Loving husband of Alice and devoted father to Patricia (Keith) Mullins, Peggy Landon, Eileen (John) Pierre and Alison Landon, dear brother of Andrew Landon and cherished grandfather to Chelsea Elizabeth, James and Joseph, and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bill was born March 18, 1936 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of William H. and Margaret M (Neuschler) Landon. He graduated from Bishop-Loughlin High School in Brooklyn and the University of Notre Dame in 1958. He was united in marriage to Alice MacKrell on April 23, 1960 in Amityville, New York. In 1969, they moved to Schaumburg, IL where they raised their family. Bill retired in 2000 after 30 years as a sales executive in the audio visual industry, primarily with Bell & Howell. He was a devoted Notre Dame Football fan and also enjoyed golfing, traveling, and attending many activities with their Huntley, Sun City friends. Treasured times were spent with Alice, his brother, 4 daughters and 3 grandchildren.

Filled with so many good memories, especially tailgating at Notre Dame games and parties together. I'm sure Nick and Bill are rehashing a lot of games they haven't shared in a few years. May Bill rest in peace and Alice and family find peace also. Prayers and hugs to each of you.
Landon Family: Thoughts and prayers with you while you cope with this great loss. More than a few interesting conversations with Bill, as I've gotten to know the Landons over the years. I will miss his intelligent humor and easy way.
Alice & Family- We've been fortunate and blessed to have you as our neighbor for many years. Your kindness and friendship will never be forgotten. For you and your family, we pray for strength, understanding, compassion, and great memories to last many lifetimes and for Bill that he is now in God's good graces. Love, The Richter Family
