WILLIAM MORRIS CORRELL (Bill) died Thursday, 7/05/07. He suffered a brain aneurysm 11/2/06 and the family thanks the many doctors & nurses who cared for him. Special thanks to Dr. Denise Combellick.

"We are thinking about you all at this very sad time. I hope you are at peace knowing Bill is in a better place. I will always think of Bill talking about all those Unauthorized Purchases you would make, Sissy. Stan and I have used that phrase many times. He was a very special Dad and know you girls were very fortunate to have him. He made me laugh at his stories he would tell. Whatever he did he was always determined to do it well. We will miss him too. "

"I was floored to see Bill's obituary when I got off work this morning. I remember him from hockey and always seeing him smile as he skated. I don't think that I have a memory of the Carmel Skatium without Bill in it somewhere. Michelle and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish that I could be there to show my support. We all have lost a man to model ourselves after. "

"WOW ! What a guy ! And what a great life. He did those things in life that most of us never quite get around to doing. So, I'm sure that those years he did have, were nothing but happy. Bill was a friend of my son and was admired by him greatly. U nique individual. His spirit will certainly be around for a long, long time. Peace."

Sam Detmer wrote on Nov 13, 2012:

"When I think back over all of those wonderful hockey years, great memories of Bill are so clear. Bill was a special coach, role model and leader to many children in IYHA hockey. I will always admire his character, dedication and enthusiasm for the sport. He will be missed.Sam Detmer "

"Bill has been our dear friend for over 20 years. He coached or son Jeff and recruited me (John) to be the hockey mom. He was a great inspiration when it came to hockey and fitness. Our family will dearly miss him.John , Sandy, Jeff,Jenny Joyce,and Billy, and Kelly Wise -Carmel "

Rob Burton wrote on Nov 13, 2012:

"Whenever I saw Bill in the office, he always had time to talk, not just about the business, but about family and activities. I missed seeing him when he left the company, but he still stopped by from time to time. I will miss his chats about work and about what was happening in his life. I always admired the fact that he water skied barefoot, something I never got to do."

Guy Pahud wrote on Nov 13, 2012:

"I knew and admired Bill only as a real estate practitioner. In that capacity, he distinguished himself as a person of uncommon expertise and great integrity. His passing is as regrettable as his life was inspiring."

"MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY REACHES OUT TO BILL'S FAMILY. HE WAS A ROLE MODEL FOR ALL OF US. I REMEMBER WHEN WE STARTED OUR RE/MAX FRANCHISE IN 1994, BILL WAS THE FIRST GUY WE WENT AFTER. I CERTAINLY WILL MISS HIS KIND AND GENTLEMAN WAY OF DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC. HE NOW IS HOME WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. "

"I fondly remember playing on Bill's hockey teams. Those were some of the happiest times of my life and playing for Bill was a big part of that. I also remember being very scared of him when I took Shauna out on a date in high school! My thoughts are with the Correll family at this time. Take care of yourselves and each other!!"

"I am a total stranger to Mr. Correll and his family. But still, I wanted you to know that I have missed his little green/yellow flyer in the mail! I always had the impression he cared about Carmel very much. I was even keeping his name in mind for if/when I was ready to sell my house. Please accept my sincerely sympathy . Take care Dianne Jones"

"I am so very sorry that I did not learn of Bill's service until it was too late to attend. I knew Bill for many years through coaching hockey at IYHA, I always admired his dedication to the sport and the kids he coached . . . he made a very possitive impact on all those kids that were lucky enough to have him for a coach. I will always remember his enthusiasm and the ever present smile that he brought to the rink . . . HE WILL BE MISSED !"

Brad and Vicky Binder wrote on Nov 13, 2012:

"Although we did not know Bill very well, we could see his zest for life through the recreational activities he was involved in. I also appreciated seeing our neighbor's newsletter when it periodically showed-up on our front door.I am so sorry for your loss, and I have prayed for you at this time."

Bill and Carol York wrote on Nov 13, 2012:

"We were hoping the William Correll in the paper wasn't the Bill Correll we knew and were shocked when we discovered it was. We moved from Carmel to Cincinnati four years ago in mid winter with two feet of snow covering an inground swimming pool. Bill and his "team" sold our home in less than two weeks and thanks to Bill's knowledge of almost every repair man, woman and/or company around the Indy /Carmel area, we were able to have the needed work on our home completed and ready for closing. Bill Correll was definitely a positive "go getter" and we were so sorry to learn of his death at such a young age! My husband, Bill, remembers fondly Bill's sister Jenny and her children through the Carmel schools. The Carmel community has lost a leader, and we extend our sympathy to his family."

"We didn't get Saturday's paper read until Monday and were shocked to read of Bill's passing. Our son, Scott, was fortunate to have Bill as a hockey coach years ago - Michelle was on his team as well! He was indeed a special person and a wonderful role model. He has touched countless lives and will certainly be missed. Our paths have not crossed for several years and we were sorry to realize that life has been difficult for your family since last November. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Sissy and family."

We were in Illinois visiting family for the week when we heard and were unable to make it to the service. Stephanie has been very upset by this, and grieves for Brittany. You and your family will continue to be in our prayers."

"I moved back to Carmel last summer and had the pleasure of dealing with Bill, as he was representing owners of the house I eventually bought...he was friendly as usual. He kept me on my toes during the process and I expected nothing less from a teacher and coach - he will be missed!!"

Bonnie Sando wrote on Nov 13, 2012:

"To Jody and entire Correll Family,It was a shock to see the obituary in the paper for Bill. I haven't seen him since we were all young and at Carmel together. It brought back so many childhood memories. From the information given, it appears he grew up to be an outstanding man. I am so sorry for your loss and a life cut too short. My deepest sympathies to you all.Bonnie Sando "

"Carmel has lost one of it's finest. I first met Bill at the Carmel rink. He was a role model of a coach in hockey. Bill was the best example of a coach. I was shocked to hear he had become sick. We prayed for his recovery. Donna and I were shocked to hear he had passed. This community is missing one fine individual."

"June and family. My Mother and I both send our love and sincere sympathy to our longtime neighbors from Audubon Drive , Carmelwood. What great times we all had with the old Carmel High School in our backyard. How we miss the good old days. My Mother just remembered when you and Phil had your swimming pool installed!
