My Mother spoke of Will throughout her life and she was very fond of him. Life has a way of throwing adversities, we embrace them with knowing the deeper side of inner strength and love. I feel he possessed that quality. I wish I had gotten to know him myself. Safe travels on your greatest journey, dear cousin!

Bill was a dear relative. This past year we have relived so many memories of growning up. I shall miss him terribly.
Claude, Jean Ogden told me how wonderful you and Bill were to her parents Haywood and Elizabeth. She sends her love and deepest condolences.

Although I never met Bill face to face, we did talk by telephone and other means. He was my first cousin on the Brooks side and we shared family issues.

Bill was very knowlegable and had a great view of life and people. Will miss our talks on the phone and his laughter. He was truly a unigue person. And had great stories to share!

Bill was a Generous & Loving man. He told me stories of Lynchburg & his life here. Bill knew many things. He will be sorely missed. I feel very lucky to have known him. I will miss him, as will others I am sure. The world was a better place with him in it. My heart goes out to his family.
