Bill appeared on our cover in July 2020 as Alive! paid tribute over a number of years to US military veterans. He served on Midway Island just after the conclusion of World War II in the Pacific, and was called back during the Korean Conflict.
He then worked for the beginning of the National Security Agency (NSA) in Washington, DC, where he met his wife, Alice, and eventually moved to California.
Three of his children are Retired City Employees: LAFD Engineer Mark Lillenberg, LAPD Det. Amy Lillenberg, and LAFD Engineer Kevin Lillenberg. His grandson, LAFD Capt. I Josh Lillenberg, is active.
May Bill Rest in Peace.
