Bill worked for our family for many years. We always enjoyed his visits and had great discussions about a variety of topics. We always joked that we should have a T.V. talk show. You'll be missed dear friend!

I met Mr. Glascoe in 1960 when I attended Immaculate Heart of Mary School with his daughter Linette Glascoe [tap dancer & bright personality]. He was alway working and making a way for his family. May GOD provide the family with love, peace, prosperity & comfort during this memorable moment in their lives!

My Dearest Family! What a fantastic legacy of memories we have of the numerous Family Gatherings through the years. How we laughed at the stories Bill told. When I think of Bill, I laugh to myself. I wonder if Bill is telling his tales in heaven. Some people come into our lives and leave their footprint upon your heart and that is what Bill did for me. Praying and walking with you.
