I'm so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I wish I could have seen him one more time, but that wasn't to be. We were great buddies at Miller School, played football together at Miller School and overseas in the AF. We last played together at Bolling AFB, DC. Jimmy, I wish I could have been there for the funeral, but I've been in the hospital and didn't learn about his passing until yesterday. He was a special person to me. "Nick" Davis (Sumter, SC)

I know you will miss him, but we know the Lord will give you and your family peace. We know Bill is at peace and you will see him again one day. Praise be the LORD!!

I am saddened to learn of Bill's passing. We were both on the 1959 UVa Cavayearling football team. I was hoping that he would be at one of the football reunions/games. We'll have a special rememberence of him at this year's gathering. RIP Bill.

Jimmy, I just want to let you know I will miss Billy, he was such a great friend and I will never forget him...
I can see him now sitting in the corner of the bar at "Charley", with all of his pals. That was what he called them,"My Pals"

Mom Roberts,Jimmy & Ida, I have met Uncle Bill several times and without a doubt he was a very sweet man. His smile just was the brightest and just lit up a room. Just know that there is another beautiful angel in Heaven and his wife and relatives along with friends and strangers are all gathered together in welcoming this new angel to their family and one day we all will be there for the biggest Family reunion of all! Please accept our deepest sympathies of your love and loss. May God be with you this day and everyday. God Bless
