Bill was a huge influence in my life. After the football coach told me I was too small for that sport I tried wrestling. Bill was there to help teach and encourage me thru my high school years. Due to him I went to State twice and Was offered several wrestling scholarships to college. I became a wrestling coach, and can only hope I was as influential in the lives of the boys I coached as B I'll was on mine. He was a good man, and he will be missed and remembered by many.

Nancy, Lawna, Shannon, and Shawn. Our hearts and prayer go out to all of you. We are going to miss your father so much, but so glad to have known him. He was a remarkable man very talented and always had a smile on his face. He was very proud of his heritage and his art work was beautiful we use to just sit and talk for hours and he really helped our daughter Olivia with guitar picking. For her sixteenth birthday he came out to the house to celebrate with us and even brought his guitar and played and sang for everyone. We all just loved him there was nothing he could not do.

Ronnie, LaDonna, Olivia
