I have many fond memories of Bill from the 4th grade on. He always "took the high road" and continued that in his adult life serving Florida and especially children so well. Bill will be missed but may your memories help during these times. Mrs. Bankhead did a great job raising Bill. God Bless Her.

Diana - My heart goes out to you and your children - Bill will be missed by you and his family at Palms Presbyterian Church - My condolences - Donia Tyner

Dear Family, I am so saddened to hear of dear Bill's passing. I can not tell you what an impact his encouragement played in my life. He followed my career from when I was Miss Jacksonville to Broadway, Vegas, and back home again. I still have the picture he sent me when he was serving in the Senate. I've kept it all these years. His was a life to be emulated. Please accept deepest condolences from Lisa Clarson, Ric Clarson, and Jan King

Diana, it only seems like yesterday when I first met you during which time you were going with Bill. The end results was a great marriage and I am sure the years ahead will hold many loving memories for you. I enjoyed meeting Bill and working with him in the Jaycees during the time that the organization and its leadership was very vibrant, Bill being one of the better leaders! I ask the good Lord to give you strength in the days ahead and trust that time and His love will make it possible for...

Dear Diana, I was so saddened to hear about your loss of Bill. His suffering is over and he is finally at peace. The hard part is ahead for you, living without him, but your strength will prevail. My deepest sympathy to you, little Bill and Brook,

Diana, Enid and Family;

My wife Mary Ann, my mother, Letha, and I send our deepest sympathies to you all during this time. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Peace -

Diana,
Hopefully you remember me. I was a part of your life when I worked with Jay Severance. We sold your home in Southside. You and Bill were always so nice to me. I will never forget how much you both seemed to care what happened to me and Jay. I am so sorry you have lost your dear Bill. Certain he is in heaven looking down on you and your kids. Hope to see you sometime since I am moving into Marsh Landing. In warmest thougts, Victoria
