A personal note to Elaine Christoffersen and her family --

Elaine, our hearts go out to all of you as you celebrate Bill's life and mourn his passing. . You and Bill have always been two of our favorite people! We had so much fun together during our Salt Shaker functions. We considered both of you as the life of the party -- great memories!! Our love and best wishes to you.

Bill will be greatly missed by everyone within the American Legion family. Always grateful I knew and was friends with him. Love and prayers to all his family.

Greatly enjoyed my association with Bill at Post 71, District Eight, Department of Utah and at Boys State. My prayers for his family and friends. GOD BLESS
