Bill was born on January 14, 1951 in Danville, IL to Stanley Cecil and Stella (Howard) Denton. He married Julie E. Hepner on June 29, 1996 in Nevada. Bill was in the Title Industry for over 40 years. He managed LaSalle County Title Company (Chicago Title) for over 20 years, 15 of which he owned and operated the business. In his younger years Bill loved working with horses and trained and showed dogs. Bill enjoyed golfing, spending time in Florida, and attending his grandchildren’s sporting events and activities. His morning coffee with friends was one of his favorite parts of the day and those who knew Bill best knew you needed to be prepared for his sarcasm and quick wit.
He is survived by his wife, Julie of Ottawa; four children, Angel (Jim) Demoss of Ottawa, Ryan (Debby) Denton of Ottawa, Amanda (Brett) Lockas of Ottawa and Amy (Chad) Gross of Ottawa; and seven grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother Stanley Denton.
