Today's your big day Mr Bill. I truly miss our morning chats. It's been a fun and nice venture to have you as a friend..When you get up in the stars hit em straight my friend...Bobo...

I worked with Bill and Tri-Valley Growers. He was a great guy and enjoyed working with him.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Sending wishes for peace to Bill's family. My sincere condolences.

A true friend, always willing to help. I played with Bill @ various golf courses over the years, always enjoyed his company; his joking around, but telling his fellow golfers "I love you guys", and he truly meant it. We love you to Bill, and we will miss you terribly!
