Mr. Elich "Bill", a man who defined character, values, love of country, family and friends. His sincere grin, enthusiastic personality and willingness to help others made this world a better place. My condolences to Judy, Bill and Tommy.

I looked up to Bill as my own father. He had such a kind and caring heart who did so much for me and my family. I will never forget him

I too was deeply sad to learn of Bill's passing. I knew Bill for far to short a time, but always looked forward to our chats, he was always ready to talk about his wife and family whom he obviously loved dearly. He will be missed.

My heart is saddened to hear of Mr. E's passing. I'm very thankful to have met him, hugged and loved him, shared laughs, tears and many stories together...a dear and warm person that will truly be missed by everyone that knew him.

Forever in my memories.

It has always been an honor to have Bill as my friend, I will miss him and his great sense of humour.
