I will Miss seeing an spending time with Bill on his visits to Cindy and Steve's farm. We always had a little day trip or lunch and I looked forward to those times. I am sure he and Betty have resumed golfing and the fun times they had together. He will be very much missed by his family here.

We wish with all our hearts that we could ease your anguish at this time. William's passing is a great loss to us all. We feel we were so privileged to have known him not physically but via photos. We also have a feeling there is one more star up in the sky. Even though it is far away, its brightness and warmth still reach us here to make the night a little less dark. With our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dad.

We were so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. Even though we didn't see him often, he was always in our hearts. Ed so enjoyed his conversations with Uncle Bill over the phone. He never forgot Ed's birthday; he always sent him a card. And we will certainly miss the oranges that he had sent to our home from Florida every winter. Rest in peace, Uncle Bill. We know that you and Aunt Betty are together once again. Together for all eternity. Thoughts and prayers to you, Carol and to Steve and Cindy. Love from your NY family, Ed and Susan.

Dad I'm sure Mom is beaming with you beside her now, but thought I would light this candle anyway. I bet the German chocolate cake was awesome, don't think we didn't notice you left in time for lunch! :)

There are so many good things I can say about my special friend Bill; he was like a second Dad. My life changed because of him and my life is better knowing the entire Mead Family. I will miss him deeply.
