Not sure what to say?

My dad was a great man and I will miss him dearly, most everything I know, my dad taught me. I will miss typing up the union letters, this was a monthly ritual, once a month we would sit down at the computer and discuss the topics and I would type away. I will miss hearing about all the people he worked with and all the patrons on his route, he thought very highly of all of you. I know, my life will not be the same. I do thank God though for my youngest son who looks a lot like his "Bompa...

My family was so sad to hear that he had died. He was our mailman and a great one. We never worried about what time we would get our mail. He was so friendly. If we got a package he would bring it to our back door. I would joke about not promising to buy to much on Ebay.:) We always have garage sales in the summer and was keeping an eye out for those miniture collectable liqur bottles for him. He will be really missed that's for sure.

Bill will be greatly missed at Station C not only as a carrier but especially as a friend.

Over the many years, my thoughts have been with the entire Cole Family. I have very fond memories of you all.Bill and all your family will be in my prayers.
God Bless you all !

I am so sorry for your loss of Bill. I work at Neurological Associates on Michigan Street and have known Bill for the last 8 years. He was always so uplifting when he came in, knew everyone by name, even if they have only been there for a short time. It won't be the same without him, but his memory will live on forever in our hearts. God Bless.

We are all going to miss "Oh No, Mr. Bill".
Our sympathy goes out to Sally and his family.
