Ronnie, I am so sorry to learn of Bill's death. I only met him a couple of times, but I could tell he was a kind, gentle, man. He could really cook good tenderloin on the grill! Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Love,
Martha

Bill was such a fine man and a real community hero. I met Bill in the course of many meetings with the United Way. The world will miss this man character. Deepest sympathy to the wonderful family and thank you for sharing Bill with us -- Bill Bates contributions made Metro Jackson a better place.

Ms. Bates - I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Bates. He was a great person and always so nice. One of my favorite bosses I have ever had. I loved working for him at Security Savings and seeing him at the tennis courts. I always had fun when he brought a dog with him! I will be thinking of you and your family. Susan Ming.
