William C. Kaiser

William C. Kaiser, 87, of Lombard, died Monday, April 29 at Good Samaritan Hospital, Downers Grove.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 11, the First United Methodist Church of Lombard.
Mr. Kaiser is survived by his wife of 64 years, Donna; children, Mark (Sue) Kaiser, Jacquie (Cara Oosterhouse) Kaiser, Cheryl (Adriaan) Veldhuisen, Jeffry Kaiser, and Vicki Kaiser, PhD; four grandchildren; sister, Glennith King; and one niece and one nephew.  
Mr. Kaiser grew up on a farm in Ohio and was a veteran, having served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.  He graduated from Antioch College where he met Donna at their mailboxes.  He went on to obtain his master’s degree in physics at the University of Cincinnati. 
After his first child was born, he took a job with Victoreen in Cleveland and moved to Maple Heights, Ohio.  In 1956, four years later the Kaisers moved to Lombard so Mr. Kaiser could begin his 30-year career at Argonne National Laboratories. After retirement, Argonne requested his services on the Reagan Star Wars project. 
In 1990, Mr. Kaiser unsuccessfully ran for the Illinois State Senate seat. Fighting an uphill battle in a largely Republican area, he became a rebel in the DuPage community by serving as a Democratic precinct committeeman. 
Mr. Kaiser lived his philosophy—thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self—and received numerous philanthropic awards during his life.  As a Boy Scout leader for over 32 years, Bill most enjoyed camping trips, where he led camp songs; introduced scouts to nature and taught them the names for trees, plants, and animals he had learned from his father.
Perhaps Mr. Kaiser is best known for his volunteer work at the Lombard/Villa Park Food Pantry, which he oversaw for 25 years after retiring from Argonne. Throughout his life, he demonstrated his beliefs in equality, love one another, and do unto others through his actions.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in his memory to the Lombard/Villa Park Food Pantry, 155 S. Main St., Lombard, IL 60148; or Antioch College, 1 Morgan Place, Yellow Springs, OH 45387, would be appreciated.
Arrangements were made by Brust Funeral Home, 135 S. Main St., Lombard. Call 630-629-0094 or visit www.brustfuneralhome.com for more information.
