Not sure what to say?

I cannot believe it has been 10 years since you have been gone. I have wished at least a thousand times that
you were here to talk to about the craziness of the world in which we live. You were such a scientist, insightful, and I know just how perplexed you would have been over all of this. Then I think, you are so much better off. Because you would have been trapped living inside because of the dangers of catching COVID 19. I miss you and I love you, but you are so much better off...

I am so glad that you rolled into my sisters life back in Fort Collins, CO. If you hadn't have met and married my sister our paths would have never crossed. I would not have had the privilege and honor of knowing a man like you.
I was so grateful for the times I spent with you during your final days, especially the days that you were feeling well enough to visit with me. Although I was content sitting and watching a movie in the livingroom or being on the computer. I enjoyed the times...

Memories of Bill, a celebration of life
Working with Bill was a pleasure. As a boss, he never hovered over me the way a dragonfly hovers over water. He gave gentle encouragement when a task seemed too big to tackle. Bill was a man of quiet encouragement. His words never stung. Never mind the wheelchair or the days it was apparent he would rather be elsewhere. His way was to keep going, to push on. We cheered each other on.

He taught me to appreciate the finer things in...

Christine and Family,
No one word can easily sum up a person's life but I do believe "inspiring" suits Bill well. One of the most inspiring things I have seen in life was demonstrated to me by Bill Dimock. Bill's passion and drive for living was evident to me one hot June day in a field in Isle of Wight, Va where Bill first introduced me to rc model soaring. As I drove up to the field that day there was Bill in the middle of the field all alone wheeling the chair he sat in backwards with...

Christine,

I will remember Bill for his soft-spoken kindness. He was so interesting to talk to and I always enjoyed his visits to our office at VT Pesticide Programs. It was a privilege to know him. Respectfully,

Sorry to hear of your lose. I remember Bill going to the war and coming back from there. He use to be with my brother Vernon Snyder and Danny DeBeste they would have a good time hunting and fishing. He was a big man when I was in Jr High School. I was good friends with his brother Bob.

I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I remember well all the time me and Bill spent hunting and fishing back in Junior High and High School. Like when we got my truck stuck in Spring Creek when we were turkey hunting and the time we had his little Dodge Valent stuck when we were out deer hunting. I remember when we took over the gargage and built a boat no one though would float...but it did and the time we made beer that tasted like paint and when we tried to make a pistol that didnt...

I am going to miss you so much, but I find comfort in knowing you are in a better place and you are not suffering any longer. You fought this battle like a warrior. You are walking and pain free and smiling down on all the ones that believed in you and loved you.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. With sincere sympathy.

Love John Taylor and family
