Carrie, you won't remember us, Greg & Victoria Fries, but we were friends of Jon's way back in 1972 and you had us for dinner a few times. You taught me about make-up. We didn't know that Jon had died so this is a double sympathy note. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.... May God bless and heal your heart.... Victoria & Greg Fries.

So sorry for your loss. I always liked Bill and trusted him as my insurance agent. He went above and beyond for everyone. Nancy we graduated together and I lost my dad a few years ago so I understand how hard it is. My prayers are with your family.

Bill and his lovely wife Carrie were my neighbors for almost 19 years. I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor and at times, a mentor. I enjoyed our "over the fence" conversations and the various topics we discussed. It was my honor to have met him and he will be missed by my family.
