Not sure what to say?

My son Jacob and newphew Dylan and myself will miss uncle Bills face every morning. He was a great person!Bus 39 will never be the same! Our deepest sympathies go out to Bill and Cheryl's families.

Dear Cousin Cheryl,

Although we haven't been in touch for quite some time, I wanted to let you know how sorry I am of your loss.

You and Bill were together for a long time and I know he was very special to you and your family.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely
Your Cousin

Bill will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He was a wonderful person and friend. I will certainly miss his wonderful smile in the morning during bus duty, bus #39 was a favorite to all.
Our prayers are with you Cheryl, your family and also Bill's family. There aren't any words that can fill the empty place you all have in your hearts. There will be a new star added in the sky for him and he will be smiling down on all of us.
We love you Bill!
Bob & Karen Wescott & Family

My family is so sorry for your loss. Bill was "our" bus driver for the past 3 years. From the day I met Bill, I knew my children would be safe; mother's intuition. I will truly miss our morning routine, getting the kids off to school with my coffee and Bill's warm smile. Maybe a "top of the mornin' to ya" or a joke. Our day will just not start the same without him. He was a very special man and touched our lives. We miss you!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

It was a pleasure to work with Bill. He was a real help when I came in as a new driver. I will always remember him being the Hero of the Week in the Windham newspaper. My children never had Uncle Bill as their regular driver, but they all knew him. He and Cheryl had them out to the farm to see the animals. They can still point it out if we drive out that way. :-) He will be missed by all and remembered with happy thoughts. Cheryl you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this...

I have only known Uncle Bill for the past 5 or 6 years, but it sure does seem so much longer. I had the privilege of knowing Uncle Bill over the past few summers though summer camp. Uncle Bill ALWAYS made camp field trips more exciting. Imagine being on a bus with 60 kids on a hot/sweltering summer day…well, it was just a bit easier with Uncle Bill at the wheel. His smile, his laugh, and our chats will always be remembered. Oh, and I can’t forget our campers chanting “donkey, donkey,...

Bill was an amazing person and friend and will be deeply missed by all. He was the driver for both of my boys from kindergarten up to middle school and I never worried when they were in his care! He was also a great weatherman and would try and predict snow days so that we could all plan our days off!!!! We'll miss Uncle Bill so very,very much. May God bless and keep both of your families close especially at this time. We are so very sorry for your loss. Love, Tammy, Kevin, Lance and Lyle

dear cheryl I am so sorry for your loss, and to bill's family too. I am thinking of you and take care of yourself.
