Dear Copeland Family,

May God bless you and give you strength to bear this great loss.
With much love, Dee, Robert, and the Zoo

With sympathy to the Copeland family, Bill will be truly missed by everyone that knew him. I had the pleasure of working with Bill at Lazer, and he always made it a fun place to work. He always had words of encouragement for everyone.
I will miss him as I am sure others will too.
