My deepest condolences. May the family find strength in the words of Isaiah 51:12, "I myself am the One that is comforting you.

There never were better friends than carol and bill.bill was the gentlest soul I ever met.he was so kind and funny and you knew in your depths that this man really cares about me and all people he meets.he loved you so much carol.wishing he was still physically next to you but what a wonderful life you had together.his memories are forever.love,tom

Our deepest sympathies, amid fond remembrances of "Uncle Bill". Mark and I (And Cholla, too) were so glad we got to spend some time with Aunt Carol, and Uncle Bill around the time of my Mom's surgery back in October. We had some great times that month with Mark cooking "pork and kraut" for all - instead of a Church dinner.
I have many more good memories - thoughts with Aunt Carol, Leslie and Family, and Tim.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Carol, Tim and Leslie in this time of loss. Bill always had a warm greeting smile and a kind caring soul that always made me feel welcome. He will be Greatly missed.

Love always,
Stacey A. Robenseifner
