We regret to inform you of the passing of our previous Chairman, William (Bill) Kennedy. Bill died Friday, June 28, 2024 surrounded by his family. Bill was born May 23, 1950, in Janesville, WI. The son of Robert and Delores Kennedy graduated from Creighton University. Bill married Diane Shuput on April 8, 1972, in Omaha, Nebraska. Bill’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, which included Diane, their 5 children and spouses, and 16 grandchildren. Bill, Steve, and Bob Kennedy acquired Rock Road Companies from their father in 1994, marking a significant chapter in the family's legacy as the fourth generation of Kennedy owners. Bill's dedication and hard work as an owner of Rock Road Companies was truly inspiring. He embodied the qualities of a visionary leader by constantly pushing the limits and striving for greatness. His commitment to this company was a true testament to his character and his passion for success. While we will undoubtedly miss his presence, his legacy will continue to inspire and guide us as we move forward.

The Heavy and Highway Construction Industry would not be what it is today without Bill’s leadership and vision. The quality of the Health and Pension Benefits that Laborers receive today would not have been possible without Bill’s leadership as he was a trustee on those funds for many years. His leadership has bettered so many people’s lives. On behalf of the Wisconsin Laborers our sincere condolences.
