Not sure what to say?

Hard to believe it has been 15years in a few days since you left us Dad! Love the fact though that we can all rest assured you and mom are watching over us all! Love you and Miss you both so much!!

Sorry I did not get time to sit and chat. Bill was a tremendous man and as my brother Jared put it, he helped me out so much in the hardest time in my life I have ever had to face. That is a token of how big of a heart and soul Bill, Paula and the rest of the Waddell family have. Keep the memories lasting and LAUGH. He will be greatly missed.

Paula and Family, So sorry to hear of Bill's death. Bill was a great guy and so proud of his family. He was fun to be around. Bill was one of the 'good guys', I will remember him forever.

My thoughts and condolences are with Bill's family. I remember him teaching school in Bison and he was just out of college, I think 21 years old. Not much older than his students.

Mom, Jill, Ron, Melissa, Tara, Ryan, Tricia, Tyson, Lindsey, Tevyn, Regan, and Landon (and all others):

Dad was a beautiful man. He never wanted...

Being in a state of denial from my own fathers unexpected trip to the other side, one vivid memory of Bill engulfs my memory. After dad had passed, I honestly do not remember much of anything. I was numb for months. Bill and Paula made it through the week after the funeral. It was such a pleasant experience and I cannot express how much I appreciate it. Bill went on to tell Mom, Jesse and I about his experience with his father and how he left him at an early age. He went on to explain how he...

Paula and Kids,
Our condolences to you and your family for the loss of Bill. Alice and I will always remember the great times we had with Bill, you and your family. I will always fondly remember the great fun my son and I had with Bill and the boys hunting. I am sure that Tyson will remember as well. We had such great times together. Our prayers are with you and your family in your time of grief. Alice, I and our family will be thinking of yours

Mike and Alice Clapham
