It was my honor to have known Bill. He was a kind and caring person who knew the love of family, friends and of course dogs! He is missed, but has filled many hearts with his kindness.

Deb and Archie I'm sorry for your loss. We have lost some wonderful and unique individuals in the course of a short time,I'd like to think Bill and my mom are keeping each other company. God bless you in this sad time, but we can have joy knowing they are with the Father. Take care. Sincerely Dee Horan Miller
