Dear Sandra & Children,
My Maureen sent me Bill's obituary. I've read the notes from your friends and children and apparently Bill was a great guy. Sorry I never got to know him better. I remember with love and affection how much Aunt Marilyn helped you both many years ago. You've had a great marriage and a wonderful family. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. GOD BLESS!!

Hi, I was Bill's nurse for a few days, and really became attached to him. In the short time I knew him I could tell that he was a wonderful man. I told him once that I bet he was a really hansom man when he was younger, and looking at the pic, I knew he was., this always made him smile and laugh each time I said it. Rest in Peace Bill, Love Ashley

Dear Sandy,
My heart felt condolences to you and your entire family.
It has been almost fifty years since Bill and I went separate ways after growing up together. Those early times near North High school are so vivid. There was Cub Scouts, Hayse House Little League team, 'Gil and the Valiants' rock and roll band (he was rhythm guitar and I was the gig driver), and etc.
Thank you Bill for some great memories, you will be missed!

Dad, you have only been gona a couple of days and I miss you so much. I want to thank you again for being such a great dad. You taught me so much, most of all you taught me to love and respect everyone. You were a great Dad, husband, grandpa, poppy, uncle, brother and brother-in-law. We will take good care of mom, but I know she won't be the same with out you. Love you always your one and only daughter.

Grandpa, words can't even begin to describe the pain that is felt at this time. You were always there for me whenever I needed you. You taught me how to swim, how to drive, and most of all to respect and love everyone. I know you love me and I know you are proud of what I have accomplished. Adean loves his poppy and I know when he is old enough to "play ball" you will be watching. I wish you could've been here for the birth of Colin William but I know you'll be looking down and watching over us. I love you soo much grandpa, I will miss you, but you will always be in my heart.
