Bill was an honest, hardworking and great all around guy. We have to be thankful we had him as a friend for all the years we did and be thankful for the legacy he leaves behind in the form of great children that he was so proud of. Bill died knowing his kids will make a positive impact on the world. As his kids move through life if you ever face difficult choices you can always ask yourself what would Dad do in this situation and you will probably never go wrong. His friends will miss him very much. May God bless the family in this time of great loss.
