Not sure what to say?

Deepest sympathies to each of you family members. I will always have the fond memories of Bill that we have shared at so many family gatherings. He was a very special man and always so much fun to be around.

Deepest sympathies to you and your family. We'r sure memories will keep this fine man's memory in your lives always. Vivienne and Lilianna

I will miss seeing you every year at the Beach Billl. It just won't be the same without you. Love always!

A really fine man. Worked with him in Rocky Mount for about 4 years and really thought a lot of him as did everyone who worked with him at Sears. RIP

We are truly sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you and your family.

Keeping your family in prayer! What a blessed life he led! Love from the Sasser family.

I awoke many years ago to NPR on my clock radio the morning after a hurricane had hit Topsail. Bill was being interviewed as he chose to remain the night on the island when most people had evacuated. I fondly remember him saying in a most humble fashion, "I won't ever do that again." So long Bill.

Cousin Bill was always so outgoing, witty, sharp and giving and very attentive to my Aunt Nell. We will miss him greatly.

With love from us Dennis and Trula.
