Dear Millie and Sandy;

There are no words to express the sadness we feel at this time, for losing a man who touched so many lives, leaves such a void.

We are grateful to have had the chance to spend time with you and Bill when he was home from the hospital. It was truly a blessing for us that we will always cherish.

He was a fine man, and his love and devotion to you both and the rest of his family was second to none.

As difficult as this has been for the both of you, you were an inspiration to us all by the strength you demonstrated when faced with things that none of us want to face.

May God bless you both and may fond memories help heal your hearts.

Much love,

Bob and Michele

Dearest Millie and Sandi,
My heart is very sad tonight as I think of the passing of Bill..He will
be missed by all of us in the family
and all who knew him. I will never
forget him, his devotion to his
family, and especially his deep
voice and his great laugh...
he was fun to be around.
William(as brother Ray calls him)
was a great brother and a
sweet brother in law to me...

You are in our thoughts and
prayers always...I know we have
another angel to watch over us..

Much love,
Raymond, JoAnne and Mima

To my dearest Uncle, may you find the peace that you deserve in heaven. You will be so missed. Eight years ago I walked into your house with my two little babies, and you fell in love with them and they felt the same. Life changed that day for all of us. Thank you for always being there when we needed you. And will never forget the aww Barney moment. You will be missed.

To my darling Aunt and Cousin. I love you. When my mom passed away 8 years ago you where there and are still. I will always be here. (lucky you)..... LOL

Love
Jack & Melissa
