Thank you for being such a good friend to my Mom and Dad. I have such fond memories of us all together at the Elks Lodge Pool. Those were some good times. I will miss you, Mr. Bill!

So sorry to hear about Bill. He was so funny and interesting while we were at cards. I really enjoyed he and Stella as friends. Stella, I'm so sorry about his passing. I was out of town and when I heard, was too late to get out of my commitments. Prayers are for you to get through all of this.

I am saddened to hear we have lost Bill. He was my colleague at Falcon Jet for years, but more importantly he was a good friend and a special personality. My condolences to the Sypien family.
