William Wascher, part of Illinois Gov. Dan Walker’s administration in the 1970s before playing a key role in the early years of operation of the Rosemont Horizon, now the Allstate Arena, died on May 22 after a short illness. He was 74.
“Bill was my guy who kept the trains running on time,” said Paul Johnson, the first general manager of the multipurpose arena on Mannheim Road in Rosemont. “Over time, what Bill became was the assistant general manager.”Wascher, 74, died after a short illness on May 22 at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California, said his brother, Jim. He had been a Cathedral City, California, resident.
Born William Degen Wascher in Chicago, Wascher grew up in Wilmette and graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka in 1966. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in December 1969.With an interest in politics, he volunteered for Donald Rumsfeld’s first congressional campaign in 1962 and for Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign in 1964. His first job out of college was working on the first Senate campaign of Adlai E.
Wascher was also chief of protocol at the executive mansion, said Len Sherman, another member of Walker’s administration. Sherman said that Wascher’s North Shore upbringing helped make him “the class act of the administration.”
