Dennis, Roger, and Debbie,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. Bill was a very freindly person and great man. Right now I am over in the Netherlands for work and will not be home until Saturday the 23rd. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your families during this time of loss. Bill was a great person who brought cheer to all who knew him.
God Bless ALL of you!

I will sure miss the radiant smile that my Cousin Bill always had on his face. I will miss seeing him sitting at the Country Squire, having coffee with many of his loving Family members by his side. Dennis, Roger, Debbie, may the Lord comfort you and your Family members during this most difficult time in life, but know the comfort of Bill now at home in Heaven, with his beloved wife Arline. God knows I miss both of them, as I miss each and every Family member I lose. But, I also know we will all be reunited once again, in a MUCH better place than here! RIP Bill!
