We received an email from Bill's first wife, Linda Zwolinski, with the following information:

Died: 11-13-1996
Age at Death: 50
Cause of Death: Heart attack

"I  was Bill’s first wife, married in 1970, divorced in 1978.  Our daughter is Stephanie Badders Royal still residing in Fort Wayne.  His wife Susan was married to Bill at time of death but has remarried.  Bill was living in Syracuse, Indiana at time of death and Susan is still living there. 

  Stephanie was his only child.   He was employed by General Electric from graduation to his death November 13, 1996.  He was in the Air Force from May 1966 to February 1970, served in Viet Nam 1968.  

He loved golf, bike riding, running, swimming and skiing (water).  He loved all activities and could do almost anything he tried.  We still remained close friends even after our divorce I was looking at New  Haven High School Class’s website( where I went to school) and saw the list of people they were looking for so I thought to check South Side and see if Bill was on your list and that is how I found your site."
