William (Bill) Kocol left this earth on Thursday February 20 at 1:25pm. All my memories in love, travel, friendship and family are with this man. It is impossible to fathom life without him. <br />Starting from humble beginnings, Bill was born on November 5, 1948, one of twelve siblings in Chicago. Excelling in studies at the prestigious Lane Technical College Preparatory High School, Bill later attended college and attained a law degree from University of Madison Wisconsin. He went on to be appointed as a Federal Administrative Law judge in 1992. Within the National Relations Labor Board, Bill defended the legal rights of union labor and the protection of workers. With over 40 years of distinguished service to the federal government, Bill retired in 2013. <br />Bill is survived by his husband Tim Gajewski where they made their home in Los Angeles California. He also survived by this family and friends throughout the country. ichbinaljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968729252544011395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6493142765016058848.post-71276897680227072822020-12-01T21:00:23.570-08:002020-12-01T21:00:23.570-08:00The Honorable Judge William G Kocol passed away pe...The Honorable Judge William G Kocol passed away peacefully at 71 years of age with his beloved husband of 30 years, Timothy Gajewski, by his side on February 20, 2020, at their home in Los Angeles California.<br /><br />With a law degree from University of Wisconsin, Bill was appointed a Federal Administrative Law judge in 1992.
