William B. "W.B." Costner

Dear Family,
I was so sorry to hear the news about W.B., how ironic that he was taking kids to and from a School (Christian) function when this happened. W.B. and his staff of drivers were people that I could look up to as a youngster. I rode the bus most of my life to and from school and each driver was a good Christian man that took care of the kids as well as driving them to and from school. I think this says alot about W.B. and his character. While W.B. drove my bus he was always...

Dear Mabel and Family,
I was out of town when I heard the shocking news of W.B.'s passing! I can't begin to tell you of all the fond memories I have of Church singings, fellowships and bus trips that come to mind when I think of him. He was always so kind to me and always had a positive thought to give. My prayers are with you and my love goes out to your entire family! May God grant you peace and understanding through this difficult time.

Mabel and boys;
I was very saddened to hear the news of WB. He has always had a place in my heart. Ever since I can remember he would laugh and joke with me whether on the basketball bus or elsewhere. He always had a smile. Your community as well as family and friends will give you strength to get through this. I was out of town but my prayers and thoughts are will you all.

I am so sad to hear about W.B.s psssing. I just heard about it on Sunday afternoon. The family can have peace knowing that he is in a better place. WB loved his family, his friends, his church, his community and most of all his Lord. My prayers are with the family during this trying time. God bless you all.

I want to let the family know how sorry I am for your loss. I will always remember WB's smile, his sense of humor, and how much he enjoyed taking my students on fieldtrips, when I taught in Loudon. You are all in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. In deepest sympathy.

When W. B. visited our office he was always friendly and a true Southern gentleman. I will miss his visits. To Mark & Lana & family, may God bless you and give you peace during this difficult time.
