We already miss Bill. We didn't get to see Bill and Bonnie much,but they have always been in our hearts. When we did see them, it was a memorable event! We have had our heartiest laughs..and many wonderful memories with them in Pheonix and Denver. Bill was a man of very private strength and faith. He was likeable, loyal, and very loveable.
We know Bonnie will miss him very much, and our hearts go out to Bonnie and the whole family. They lost a good man....and he'll be missed by many.

We will miss Bill so much. We loved his tender heart, and the way he could cry manly tears in a tender moment. We loved the way he loved and cared for Bonnie, his dear friend and wife. Rest in peace, dear Bill, and may God comfort Bonnie and the family.
