Dear Bailey family,
I just heard the shocking news last night. Bill seemed to really enjoy life, he was quite a philosopher too. I will always remember him as a healthy vibrant man who cared. He was taken too soon. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will keep Bill and your family in my prayers.
Sincerely,

Bill I will remember as a guy you could never pin down. I know he was the only one in the neighborhood who had Rock-em-Sock-em Robots. I got to play when my sister baby sat for him. Never got to play that again but then we played chess. Fabulous mind! Had fun in Colorado as well besides growing up together. Miss you,always have. God Bless.
Your friends, Jim & Lynn Renzi & sons

Michelle & Family
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
Are thought's and prayers are with all of you .

To Bill's Wife and Family
Bill was such a distinct character in
life! He was very charming, witty and funny. I can only imagine how much you will miss him and hope your
happy memories are the ones you carry in your heart! He spoke with great fondness of his trips to Florida with his wife and family. God Bless you all at this difficult time.

To Bill’s wife and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. I’ve known Bill for a few years through our Thursday bowling night and occasional golf outings. There was never a time when he did not have a smile on his face or for that matter, make us all laugh. I for one will miss our back-and-forth political debates! Needless to say, this is a shock to every one of us. I know this is of small comfort, but he will be greatly missed.
My prayers go out to you and your family

My recollection of Bill is that he was always very personable. He was very intelligent, witty, entertaining, and usually humorous. We will miss him. Death is an enemy and this is a time for sadness, but we have the ‘Rock-solid’ promise of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that He, The Lord, will wipe away every tear and we will have a drink of wine with Bill and Our Savior in the coming kingdom. I think that this eternal joy and happiness will probably include a few laughs.
W. “Jake” Walters, Lt.
Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Matthew 26:29
I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."
Mark 14:25
"I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God."
Luke 22:18
For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

Shock doesn't begin to describe how you feel when you get a phone call like this one.
We were at Bill's retirement party to share in the celebration. We just saw him a few days ago--we were all laughing and chatting about vacations and retirement. He was so looking forward to good times.
Life is so short and so precious.
Our hearts and sincere condolences go out to Bill's family. I cannot even imagine your pain or your loss.
God Bless.
