Not sure what to say?

I have a pleasure of knowing Heather she taught my daughter in elementary and Will through many football gamesprayers of comfort and the peace that passes all understanding to the entire Byington family!!

My husband, Alan, and I met Bill when our son started playing on the rec baseball team with Will. We always enjoyed talking with Bill. Good memories. Love and prayers for the family.

It is with profound sadness that I heard of Bill's passing. My second trial as an ADA was Bill's first as a starting attorney obligated to represent an indigent defendant. We both bungled our way through the trial asking each other how to perform various legal trial tasks, neither of us sure of how to proceed (he won).

What a wonderful obituary! Reading it, I feel like I knew him. He came alive in my heart - as he will always be in yours, Janet. What a great, great loss. My heart goes out to you in sympathy and caring.

Bill was a great friend! He will be missed greatly!

I'll always remember his humor. We need more of that in this world, and now it is lessened. Laugh on, old friend!

Heaven truly gained an Angel. Bill was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Always a smile on his face and always made me feel welcome. I will miss his stories about the places he’s been and can only imagine what he’d have to say about this last adventure. I am so grateful to have met him and will always remember his kind ways and his sincere smile.

With Deepest Sympathy,
DeLean aand Jody Brandon

Janet, I'm so sorry to hear about William. He has been a great friend of a long time. I'll always remember his big smile, little chuckle and his story telling. I'll always cherish our New Years and Blue Ridge trips we all had together. He was a good man and we will all miss him.
