William “Bill” Riemer, 98, passed away peacefully at his home in Libertyville, Illinois, on Saturday, June 20, 2026 and into the arms of Jesus Christ.

Born on November 12, 1927, in Chicago, Illinois, Bill had been a resident of Libertyville for the past 31 years. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy as a Seabee stationed in Guam following World War II. After his military service, Bill worked as a heavy equipment operator and later dedicated 27 years of service to the Chicago Fire Department as an Engineer on Engine Companies 43 and 76 before retiring.

Bill was a devoted member of Hope Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Grayslake, where he faithfully served as an elder, sexton and deacon. His faith was an important part of his life, and he was deeply committed to serving his church community and anyone who needed help. Bill also enjoyed gardening, participating in sports during his younger years, and remained an enthusiastic sports fan throughout his life. He loved golf, the Cubs, the Bears and the Blackhawks, especially if they were on a winning streak.

Bill is survived by his beloved wife, Ann Riemer; his daughter, Sandra (Mel) Smith; his daughter-in-law, Donna Riemer; four grandchildren, Adam (Jennifer) Smith, Benjamin (Heather) Smith, Faith (Brett) Silton, and Bill (Megan) Riemer; eight great-grandchildren; and his siblings, Ruth Schuka, Fred Riemer and Erna Baker.

He was preceded in death by his two sons, Kerry Riemer and Ronald Riemer; and by his siblings, Johannes, Gottlieb, David, Alex, Donald, Marie and Rose.
