Dear Kaye, Scott and Danette,
I am so sorry to hear of Bills passing. His energy, joy and caring could be compared to no one. He had an impact on all of us Biller kids! Putting on horse shows in your pasture field to the great dune buggy rides he gave us. Of course, the muddier the better! And he was always there with a helping hand. I pray that God gives you the strength and peace to continue on. I know that his smile and laughter will live on through the kids and in your hearts.

Julie and I are deeply sadden by Bill's passing. In our high school class of 1962 Bill was a shining star. I am betting that star continued to shine in all areas of his adult life. May God give you and your family many loving memories of Bill and the strength in this time of sorrow. Sincerely, Gary and Julie Parsons
