William Cowley

It's still hard to imagine his passing . Nice to see how beautiful his family is to keep Bill's legend strong and alive, he would be so proud. Praying that his mother and daughter are staying healthy and managing life with help from extended family and friends. Our thoughts and love continue to go out for you. Thank you for reaching out.
Many Blessings,
Karen Stanton

We were so sad to hear about Bill's death. We've missed Madelene since we moved from Mildred Street. We have such fond memories of our days there and of course we knew Bill through his work with newspapers. Our hearts and prayers to all of you.

I just read today of Bill's passing. Bill and I were friends at Lincoln. Although we lost touch over the years, I have many fond memories of the times we spent together. Bill had a great sense of humor, and a winning spirit. My deepest condolences to his family.

Mary, thanksfor commenting here, I know Bill loved you like a second mom ( me too!!) . Unfortunately, I am unable to get out to PDX for his memorial today, (I live in GA and can't fly due to knee op)Gil and Tom will be there tho. So very sorry to hear you lost Mike, I did not hear. You were a very big part in both Bill and my lives thank you for that! Much love, Eileen

I was so shocked and saddened to read of Billy's passing. I knew him since he was a baby. His Mom and I traded baby sitting days as he and my daughter Peggy were little. Breaks my heart that he passed away so young. My love goes out to all his siblings who also are dear to me, and also his wife and daughter who I never had the privilege to meet. My love and prayers go out to you all

There is a hole in my heart, missing my brother.

Our hearts and thoughts are with especially Bill's daughter. Know she was the light of his life. We walked passed his home in West Linn with our dogs daily. When he was outside his back yard we enjoyed our chats and catching up on events. He was so happy to move to the coast and have his daughter close friend (who are taking beautiful care of the home) purchase his home. God bless him and he has been missed since he moved from West Linn.
