Not sure what to say?

We will never forget our dear sweet friend! He was an amazing brother in Christ to us and it was a privilege to worship in the same church together! We will see him again in heaven.

Bill and I were neighbors and friends since the 6th grade. I was very sorry to hear of your loss, but I am sure that Bill is happy to be in his forever home. Even as a young boy Bill was special, I am not surprised that he accomplished so many great things. Glenda Shields Fountain

Papa Bill will be greatly missed. In the entirety of my life he has always been there. He was a great grandfather to me. I sure know he will be fishing it up with Jesus.

Although I didn't know him for very long the time spent with him are cherished memories of a fine, kind and loving man. He made everyone feel as if he were "Papa Bill" to you whether you were related to him or not. He will surely be missed by all but especially by me. I love you Jane and always know that I'm here if you ever need me for anything.

We will always hold Bill close in our hearts. We loved and admired him! He was a great friend and we look forward to our home coming with him in glory one day!! Our prayers and thoughts continue to be with Jane and all his loved ones.

Bill I will always remember you. You were a friend and a Fellow Marine. I will miss our many conversations. May you rest in the arms of God until we reunite once again. Love you Brother,,, Dave & Marilyn,,,

Bill will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends in your hour of grief. May you find peace and comfort in the God of all comfort.
