Shirley, Karen and Anne,
I Just heard of Bill's passing today and was very sad. I know I haven't been in your lives for a very long time. But when I was close to your family Bill was like a second Dad to me. He was always so nurturing, caring and thoughtful. I know how hard it is to loose a parent. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and I think of your family often, as it was a very important part of my life. Some of my fondest memories are with all of you. I will never forget Bill and how he took such good care of my Shelly when we couldn't.

Mrs. Dixon, Ann-Marie, Karen, Randy, Scott-
My mother just told me of the news and I am truly sorry for your loss. Your dad was always a wonderful role model in business and in life. I learned many, MANY parenting skills from him that I use every day with my children. He was a wonderful father-figure to me during a time when I needed help figuring out my life and have been forever grateful. Please continue to keep his love and passions toward family and friends alive and pass that along to his grand-children everyday. With loving regards,
Miles, Christie, Miles Jr, Gavin, and Lindsey Burton

Ms. Shirley, Karen and Ann,
I was so saddened to hear of Bills passing, he fought a long fight and you were all his greatest support. I will never forget Wilson and how he made me laugh but most of all I will remember his love of his family. Please take care of yourselves now as you would have him. Peggy Tyre
