Not sure what to say?

Hoping the good memories and stories of your Dad will bring some comfort as you find your way through this difficult time.

To the Dekle family
It was an honor to have met and known William (Bill) Dekle). I met him in the late 1980s when I was working with his son Bruce, Bill was the hardest working man that I have ever known and took pride in everything that he worked on. He always had time to help with any project and took the time to show all how to do a job right the first time and that quality work matters. Those traits are well represented in the Dekle Family. My prayers go out to the family

The Stewart’s grew up next door to the Dekles. Lots of memories and conversations at the clothes line and in the back yard. No matter how many times we hit a baseball or threw a football that ended up in their backyard they never complained. Wonderful people and a life well lived. Praying for the family.

To Bill Jr.: Didn't know your dad, but my condolences. I'm sure you're thankful for your 70 plus years as his son. Assuming I have the right Bill Dekle; you and I were in Navy flight training together. I keep in touch with Bob Nichols who also lives in the Atlanta region. Send me and email or call 770-394-6614, if I'm correct. No rush, I understand it takes awhile to process these things. If I'm incorrect I apologize.

Rick and I send our condolences to your family. Bill was a beloved neighbor (as was Virginia). We miss seeing them and cherish the memories we have of Bill. He loaned us his tractor for bush hogging, he built our garage. And Virginia shared her Fourth of July Cake recipe with me which remains a favorite in our family! We enjoyed our visits with them. As a gardener, Bill never forgot his farming roots. His rows were straight, and if the deer did not get them, his yields were great! Rest in...
