I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was always smiling and had such a positive attitude. My last memory, I was at the DMV and it was very crowded. As I was leaving, I heard someone say " Hi Margie". I turned around and it was Bill.
My thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and his family.

Bill was one of the few people that I have ever met that could instantly light up a room whenever he entered. He was one of the most caring and sympathetic person I have ever met. I will truly miss him.

MY FAMILY, WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FAMILY, AND LET YOU KNOW, THAT HE WILL ALWAYS BE THOUGHT OF FONDLY. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
