Not sure what to say?





Even though I, "Officially", joined the Simonton family in May of 2005, Bill welcomed me warmly much before that. He was nothing less than gracious, beginning from our first meeting. From what I understand, although he did not say anything prior, he was thrilled when Todd and I decided to get married !! It resulted in Bill's first and only trip to Las Vegas !! He was such a sweet and caring man and I will miss him.

We remember Bill for all the years of service he did for others. He always had time to help others out. A quiet, strong man of conviction, who lived his beliefs, everyday. He didn't have to say the words - I believe in Jesus, he lived the words. Those actions speak much louder & more truly than words do!! He was a blessing to his family and all those who knew him. He will be missed, but we know he is in the Best of Hands.

God Be with the Family!!

As a youngster I fondly remember Bill and Ed Ptak, remodeling our home back in 1966-1967. He taught me a few things about carpentry. Although I hadn't seen him in a long time I will always be thankful that he touched my life. Rest In Peace.
