In loving memory of a wonderful friend whom I admired and respected. I was privileged to have been a part of his family. I will miss his warm friendship and pleasant personality, a true gentleman. May he rest in peace and reap the Lord's reward. My condolence and deepest sympathy to the family. We have suffered a tragic loss. But there is the Biblical promise that "whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." My sincere prayer for friends and his family. In loving compassion my farewell to "Bill"

Bill wan an honest, hard working, smart, humble, caring, soft spoken, fun, loving man. Although he wasn't my father he was family and a grandpa to my son. Bill was an amazing man and will forever have a special place in my heart! Another angel in heaven. I miss you Bill! :`(
