Dear Jackie and Family,
I spent most of the first 8 years of my life just a block down Wolcott Avenue from the Warwick family. Bill and I (we were both "Billy" at the time) continued on parallel paths leading to graduating together from NHHS in 1952. After that, I think we met once of twice at high school reunions, but that was it. It was my loss, I'm sure, that we didn't see more of each other. I have nothing but good memories of being with him.
My condolences to the family,
Bill West

Dear Jackie- Bill, Branch and I were very saddened to read that Bill had left this life for everlasting peace.
The photos brought back such wonderful memories on Middlesound and Bald Eagle. Bill was so happy behind the wheel of his Grady White! He is now at rest but never to be forgotten, especially his sweet smile.

I have many fond memories of our trip to China when Shelton and I visited Bill and Jackie. They were very gracious hosts.

Dear Jackie and family,
Please know of my sincere thoughts and prayers for each of you in this time of sadness in the passing from this life of your beloved husband, father, grandfather and dear friend. My late husband, Dr, JD Harrod, and I felt honored to know Bill as a personal friend and as an esteemed Bible scholar. The depth of his Biblical knowledge left a profound blessing in our lives as well as in the lives of members of the Wells Sunday School Class of the First Baptist Church. May God bless and comfort each of you with His peace that passes all human understand.
Prayerfully, Donice Harrod
