So many good memories of Mr. Bill. ISF's yearly fishing trip was not complete without Mr. Bill and Mrs. Frances. Mr. Bill could always make you laugh and he always had such a big heart. I was truly blessed to call him friend.

The fond memories of good times spent with Brother Holloway will live forever in our hearts until the day we meet again in Heaven. Once upon following him and Sister Frances to Florida he left the motel before us and left a note that read "roses are red, violets are blue. I may be old, but I'm ahead of you." Brother Bill is just ahead of us in another journey. We just all have to catch up with him. We love you Sister Ferances. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

I had the very special pleasure of sharing a passion with Bill; flying small airplanes. We had many wonderful hours together as we flew, shared family experiences, and enjoyed a common interest. Bill, your friendship and kindness are forever in my memory.
