Bill was a good man. He did a good job for Idabel. Sometimes he rubbed people wrong, but he knew what it took to get the job done. I enjoyed his visits to my place of business and I thank him for the support he gave me in my bid for election to Idabel city council. I will always cherish our friendship and remember him with kind thoughts. May he truly rest in peace. My condolences to his family. I know they will miss him as we all will. Deepest respects. Don Britton and Family.

I so hate that we have lost Bill. I will always remember our teen-age years, growing up on Quincey Street, with the Strawn and Wake families. So much fun, so many great memories. Bill was always kind to me and I will miss his smile.
