Bill will be missed by all who knew him. He was a wonderful person. I am sure your family will always remember all the good times they had with you. I will always have so many good memories of the times I spent with you and your family in the past years. My mother and my father spent several hours with you and your family. You will have no more pain and you will always be missed and loved by all of your family and friends. To the Fitch family I send all my love to you at this time of your loss.. Love always Annette Oswald
