Not sure what to say?

My heart goes out to you this holiday season. Billy was a gentleman with a big smile. He was responsible for me dating Donald. Evidently Donald asked him about me since I lived in Elmer and his response was favorable. We enjoyed spending time with Diane and Bill. Unfortunately as life would have it our lives took different paths. I will always remember his sweet kind demeanor. May you keep all those memories close to your heart

Bill was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I will never forget him. My sincere condolences and all my love to his family. Sina

On behalf of my wife Donna, our sons Colin and Bryan, I extend our deepest sympathies to the many people that Bill called family. We have lost a pillar in the community. Bill´s service to so many organizations enriched all of our lives for years to come . Bill was one of those guys that always gave his time to his family and community. We remember him as a neighbor, family man and farmer. Upper Pittsgrove has lost one of the best.

Diane and family, May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Very sorry for your loss. Janet Garrison

He was a highly respected and honored member of the Farm Community as well as...

Dear Diane and family, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. My condolences to all of you. It is a huge loss. Laurie Chestnut

I am shocked and saddened to hear this news. Bill was an agricultural icon, family man and role model. He was a staunch supporter of FFA on the local, state and national levels. He was instrumental in founding the Woodstown FFA Alumni which went on to receive national recognition. Despite of his busy life in farming and related organizations, he willingly volunteered his time to chaperone trips and raise money to support student activities. He was a wonderful human being and one of the most...
