I shared an apartment on 17th street in Davenport with Bill Hempel and Joe Manley back in the early 60s. I haven’t seen him in forty or fifty years but I’ll never forget him and the experiences we shared. Rest In Peace Bill.

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Bill.  He was a great person and a great boss. I have never worked  for anyone who treated his workers as well as Bill did. He always had a smile on. RiP Bill

Bill was an icon that will always be remembered by myself and my husband, Mike Toom. We would visit him on Sundays,  when he was at The Manor. He told us of stories about my dad, John Gailbreath, and how kind my dad was to him. I remember as a sophomore , watching him and Gary Langan, having wheel chair contests down 23rd street hill, on Senior day..Made our Principal, Mr. Owens, not give them their diplomas. However, Bill assured me that was just a rumor, and they got their diplomas. I prayed for him every night for several years..He was an ornery one…But…a friend until the end..



Sending Prayers and Love. 🙏🏽
To the family of William "Bill" Hempel 
 ..Joy & Breanne and all of the Hempel family, May God  continue to comfort your hearts at this time and always.
            Love always: The Pass Family 💕

I met Bill years ago at the Hardware Store in the West End, last seeing him at Sharon's getting his hair cut.  He was Always Cracking Jokes .. So Funny and A Real Nice Guy. God Bless Him, and May His Spirit And Many Memories Guide You All Through This Journey Of Life.

I'm truly going to miss all Bill s funnys on face book .he had a few on me.Got a good laugh more then once.RIP good buddy 

Bill will be missed by many! Some great memories for me include riding on the motorcycles cross country, going to lunch together everyday for almost 2 years, and all the crazy things I shouldn’t put on here 😂 See you soon but not too soon! Rest In Peace!

My friend Bill!! Good memories with Bill on the Sheriff’s Posse and being bouncers at different bars over the years. We had some great motorcycle rides out of town and in town. He was a generous and funny guy who will be missed by Cheryl & I. Rest In Peace Bill, you deserve it!

Gregg your father was a true inspiration to me.  I always loved his company and stories when we got together in the "Coaches corner"
at the local watering hole.  He was one of the best guys to talk to & 
a very kind person. 
We will certainly miss him !
