Bill and I send you our deepest sympathy. Our hearts go out to you. I remember so vividly Billy, age 11 or 12, coming to babysit Courtney and Nate. I was so impressed with his poise and competance. He came prepared with art supplies to entertain them. I can only imagine what a great dad he has been.

Jenn and Kate,
I just can't believe this happened. Bill was so full of life and so kind and competent. I so enjoyed skiing with him and he was so considerate about my photos. I know how committed he was to the two of you. I will deeply miss what I assumed would last for at least another 30 years.
If there's anything I can do please let me know. We won't be able to attend the calling hours or service since this tragedy has caught us far away from home.
Our best to all who, like us, are devastated by the untimely loss of Bill.
