We all will miss you Bill. You have been a great friend to my family for 45 years! My heart is broken that I will never have you tease me again like you did when I was little. "Bush bush" will forever be in my heart and I will always remember how your face lit up when you told that story. Rest in peace and know that you will never be forgotten.

I made more than several trips with Bill when I worked at the motorcoach company. He was always courteous and a pleasure to work with. I considered him to be a true friend and he will be missed by myself and others that knew him.
