Not sure what to say?

We were so sorry to hear the news of Bill’s death. He was a kind, gentle man who loved to laugh. He brought joy into the lives of other people with a true love of Christ his Savior. He loved to play hymns on his guitar and we would sing along. He would often pray with us. We miss you so much Bill. So glad you are now beyond pain and with Christ in heaven. love

Thank you, Mikaila, for letting me know of Bill's passing. I really miss him and his daily calls keeping me company. For several years after both our spouses passed, we spent a lot of enjoyable time together. He took me places including church, shopping, and even a trip to SC to visit my family. Lots of times we would take our lunches and go down to eat near the lake. I'm not feeling well, so I'm unable to attend the memorial services. We both love the LORD, and I know we will see each other...

I’m so sorry to hear this. I spent my childhood around him (Pops) and Jeri-mom and he was always a “grandpa” to all us kids at her daycare, which was also their home. He will be missed but I’m glad he’s back with Jeri-mom.

I had the pleasure of knowing "Pop" when I worked in the nursing home in dietary he was a pleasure to know. May you rest in peace "Bill Pop."
