Daryl and I first met Bill in 1985 when we moved into the neighborhood with our then 4 month old son Eric. (Phil to those at the P.O.) Bill was indeed one of the nicest people we had ever met. He was intelligent, witty, honest and kind.

Daryl liked to cook out on the grill and we would invite him over often. We enjoyed sitting on the patio watching movies or just talking. He was a joy to be around and could always get everyone to laugh. He had a way with little kids and would watch Disney movies with Daryl, Eric and I.

Bill always watched out for everyone in the neighborhood. I always felt safer when Daryl worked nights just knowing Bill was around. The neighborhood will never be the same without him. We will all miss your smiling face Bill. Goodbye Bill. You will never be forgotten.

Bill played Santa Clause for my children and nieces one year. Showed up at our home dressed as Santa and handed out gifts for all the children. They still all remember that Christmas as one of their favorite. Bill was a very sweet, loving man.

Bill was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He would always greet you with a smile, a funny story and he had a great laugh. He was kind,considerate and caring. I cut his hair for twenty plus years until 2010 and always looked forward to seeing him. We would find so much in common to talk about that I scheduled extra time for him. You will be greatly missed. God bless you.

Billy, I wish I could have had the chance to say good-bye. My bad, for not staying in touch. I love you,"reach out and touch the face of God"

Bill was a very good mechanic for the Des Moines Postal Service, he was always good for a story or up lifting laugh. Bill will be missed at the postal service.
