I worked with Bill at Seyfert's for many years. He was a sweet and great guy. Always helpful and ready with a joke. I loved his laugh, it was so infectious! He was one year older than me, so we had a lot of the same culture growing up. My sincerest sympathy goes to Paula and Erin, and the entire family.

I hope you find great comfort in your memories with Bill.

Bill was a great role model for us and a bunch of girls he coached for several years in softball/basketball and life! He was always there to encourage and support them no matter what. Bill taught us to appreciate everyone's uniqueness. And that winning the game wasn't the most important aspect, but sportsmanship and attitude. He also showed us that adversity was something you dealt with perserverence to overcome but with a light heart. His spirit continues with those who witnessed him! Our prayers are with Bill, and you Paula, Erin and family.
