Julie, You have been on my mind a lot lately so I got online trying to find an address or some kind of link to you when I found Jeremy's pictures. I know you must be so proud of him. I sure am! But I was so sad to see Bill's obituary. Bill was so full of life. I remember the last letter I received from you. It was filled with joy and excitement because you and Bill had been saved and planning a missionary trip. I also remember meeting Bill for the first time and how he was so in...

Ashley, Marty and Will...I am so sorry to hear of the loss of you father. I can not begin to imagine what you are going thru. You are all in my heart, I love you all so much. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Remembering Bill much as pictured--from all the way back to Fischer Kindergarten and through grade school! My sympathy to his family.

Our deepest sympathies for your loss. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry we will be unable to celebrate Bill's life with his family and friends. We will always remember him as a great person, friend, and his beautiful smile. Our condolences to the whole family.

Mrs. Mavis we were so sorry to read of your loss. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May your faith bring you comfort in this your time of need. You and Mr. Mavis were always so wonderful to my family and my parents always treasured your friendship! May God ne with you.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Bill and I were in the USAF at Rantoul for six months. He was a great guy to be around. We certainly drank more than a few beers together. I will always have fond memories of those days. I ended up in Las Vegas for three and a half years, and came back to Decatur in 1973. I ran into him a couple of times at LSB. I never saw him after that. Best wishes . He was a great guy and Air Force buddy. Bob Davis
