Dear Pucci,
Our families were truly blessed to have known such a wonderful person. I've never felt such warmth ever than when we stayed at your home. Bill was a very great person. So fun to be around. My Mom and Dad and Brad's parents too loved you both dearly. We will always remember the love and laughter. Love you Pucci❤The Brad Hook family

It's difficult to gauge how lucky the day was when Bill became a part of our family. The Calames always had lots of girls, so his sometimes-wicked humor and love of mischief, paired with his business acumen and unstinting generosity added just the right kick to the mix. His love of life, absolute devotion to cousin Pucci and thoughtful care of her aunts forever touch our hearts. Always anticipating the future, laying plans, wanting the best for those he loved. You were unique, Bill. How we will miss your sweet smile!

The Allen's were neighbors of ours in Wichita for several years. My Mom, Kay Busch loved Bill, Pucchi and Bev dearly. I know Bill, Kay and Bev are laughing right about all the fun memories both on and off the golf course. We lost a wonderful, kind, caring man but heaven gained a great gift. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and let the great memories help you through Bill's passing.

Yvonne, you have my deepest sympathy! Bill was a good man, he gave me a chance back in the 60's hiring me to work in the office of Allen Electric in Wichita. It was so much fun working for the two of you & I've never forgotten all that I learned from the two of you. Keeping you in my prayers! Dorothy Smith Miller

Bill was one of my very favorite people and so much fun to be around. Anyone who knew Bill knew what a generous, but humble, man he was. I will miss him tremendously. Rest in peace my sweet, sweet cousin.
