I have great memories of playing golf with Bill and Mitch. Bill was a joy to be around and his family was always so welcoming to me sharing time with them. He was a wonderful man in so many respects. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

I have wonderful memories of Mr. Eastman. My memories start as a child hanging out with Vicky. I spent many hours around the Eastman family as a child and I mostly remember "the smile". Mr. Eastman's smile could light up the room. I also, remember him coaching the softball team that I was on. His dedication to coaching showed me his love for Vicky and family. He was truly a God loving, family man who I have always respected. My heart goes out to the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It was a pleasure to get to know Mr Eastman through Debbie and Skip. I have nice memories of the fun on the golf course, and of seeing him over the years at Paulsen family events. Our sincere condolences to all of the Eastman family.
