I was Bill's secretary at Werres Corp.for many years. I will always remember the kindness and respect he showed me and the other employees, as well as his sense of humor. He certainly left his mark on earth and will be missed by many.

We all had such fun together as church friends...Bill was always cutting up and always with a twinkle in his eye. Joe and I enjoyed his company and the treat of his 70th B-day party..he was a gentleman. Most of his old golfing buddies from church are ready for a round. It was a privilege to call him friend. Always thinking of you Bill.....Becky and Joe

Bill and Alice and family have been my personal friends since the sixties, sharing many wonderful times together. I also had the privilege of knowing his children. We worked together in the forties when he was Chief of Service at a prime theatre and again at the Werres Corp. for 30-plus years. He was a wonderful friend and will be sorely missed.

May his promise to "wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away" comfort you.
