Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Bill passing away. Bill, Ron Madetzke and our family went to different states for the national bowling tournaments. We always had a lot of fun!! Our deepest sympathy.

To all of Bill's family, I am sorry to hear about his passing. I golfed with him on several occasions, and thoroughly enjoyed being around Bill, and exchanging a bunch of good natured kidding. I had not seen him during his recent illness, but was hoping he could overcome it, and that more opportunities to golf together would come. I will remember him when I am out on the golf course, especially when I play in Graettinger. My sympathies for your loss. Rest in peace Bill.

I am so deeply saddened to learn of Bill's passing. What a great guy he was. He was a dear friend to John Krauss and myself for many years before John passed away in 2008. Since then I have seen him many times, usually in Fareway or Casey's and he is always warm and friendly. He golfed and bowled with John throughout the years they knew each other and had so much fun. He fought cancer with courage and managed to learn to speak when doctors told him he never would. I will miss him very much,...

Jim and Theresa Odom wedding, January 2, 1988.

I hadn't heard from/seen Bill in several years. Just heard on the radio and I'm heartbroken. 30 years ago, Bill stood up as best man for my husband Jim Odom at our wedding. He was also there for me the day my daughter decided to come in to this world, giving me a rushed ride to the hospital as Jim was out of town on a driving job. So many memories of jokes and gallons of coffee poured around our kitchen table. He was there for us when Jim passed in 2001....so very grateful to have had him in...

We were saddened to learn of Bill's passing. Sincere condolences to all of his family.
