Mitzi,

Our prayers are with you and the family at this time. He had a special place in Linda and my heart and expecially in Sunday school.We will miss Bill as he always set in the same place and spoke highly about his family. He is in a better place and we will meet again some day. God bless you and your family at this time.

Dear Greg,Darlene, Mitzi and Kelley,



You are all in my prayers at this time. I never had any aunts and uncles,but your dad and mom filled that place. In recent years,I usually only make it up to Ft. Wayne for a visit once a year, and when I came I would always walk with Uncle Bill and my Dad at TACUMWAH and I always had a great time. He was a great man and I have many good memories of him, your mom, and all of you. especially of times our families spent together when we were all younger. We will see him again in heaven. God bless you all.
