This memorial was created in honor of William "Bill" Shannon Lachicotte, Jr. of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Bill was born on April 29, 1948 in Charlotte, NC and passed on December 3, 2014. He was also warmly known as "Wild Bill from Chapel Hill." Bill would be happy for us to smile. Besides being a Chapel Hill/Carrboro person that many recognized on sight, we knew him as a brother, a colleague, a companion of many years, a co-author, a friend, a housemate, a mentor/advisor, a professor, an uncle....

Please use the "Life Story," "Media Gallery," and "Memories (put tributes in Memories." (I don't know what "Candles" are. Use them if you want.) IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT, SEND THE MESSAGE TO ME AT dorothy.holland@me.com AND I WILL POST IT.

The celebration of Bill's life will happen on Saturday night, Dec. 13th from 6 to 9 pm at 451 Lakeshore Lane, Chapel Hill, NC 27514

Thank you for helping to build this Memory book for Bill's life.
Love,
Dottie
