I miss my brother, and tho we took different paths our bond was special.
All our memories will encompass the permanent landscape with fond memories.

Goodbye Dad. Thank you for loving me - for all of your laughter - and for heartfelt support for all of my endeavors. I am sorry that your last days were so horrible. Many of us love you and will always smile at your memory. Travel well my old friend. Love you - Kevin

We have lost a great man & my prayers are with his family.

He is making someone laugh right now.

Bill was like a father to me. he gave me away at my wedding and also officiated the wedding. I will miss him. My father was friends with Bill and Tom both. Bill was one of the kindest men I have ever known. May you rest in peace because I do believe there are horses in heaven
