My sympathy to the family. I remember him as my coach when i was young, and I'll always remember him coming to see me at my work (sears) and how happy he always was to tell his stories of my glory days on the blue team at 6 yrs old. Thank you for the memories. You will be thought of often.

To Bill’s family,
I just learned of Bill’s passing yesterday and I wanted to extend to you my heartfelt condolences.
What I remember most about Bill is his gentleness and compassion for everyone around him.  He was truly a gentle giant and will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
I’m reminded of him every time I see my niece and nephews.
You’re in my family’s prayers.

To the Family of Bill,
With Deepest Sympathy,May God's love bring you comfort and strength in your time of need.  
I was in Michigan last week and went in to see Bill last Friday, he was sleeping and I did not wake him.  The pictures of Bill and his loving family that were displaced there was beautiful. I am sure you all have fond memories.  He was a much liked person.
