Dear Betsey, Bill, Elizabeth, and family, sorry to hear about Bill passing. He was one of the kindest men. His smile was infectious. I can still hear him compliment Betsey's BBQ shrimp but asking if she could make it better by peeling them. I hope fond memories carry you all through the pain and loss. Love Tobin Fuss

Betsey, You were most fortunate to have a husband like Bill. I know he must have been a great father.He was the best athlete I ever knew as well as a sincere friend to all that his life touched.

Know you will have great memories of your wonderful husband. Enjoy them.

Bill was a joy.He was a much-appreciated member of many shared trout fishing trips. He was a caring, friendly, enjoyable man who filled the hours with many stories, jokes and musings. He made delicious smoked trout. He will be missed and well remembered.

Know that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers during this time.
Enjoyed hearing of how you and Bill had the opportunity to share so many wonderful times of travel and fun with the family through the years. Hold on to these wonderful memories!!
We are out of town. Look forward to seeing you when we return.
