Beth and Family,
I am so sorry to hear the loss of Bill.
My heart goes out to all of you. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to know both you and Bill in high school.
You are both wonderful people and Bill will live on in everyone who knew him and in your hearts.
I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May God be with you all.

Dear Beth,
I was so saddened to hear of your husband's passing when I was away for 2 weeks. I never knew your husband but I can tell from the messages that he was a wonderful man. God Bless You and your family as you go through this difficult time. I will be praying for you. Sincerely, Deanne

Billy,the man,the teacher the professor the trashman the one that always had the driver even if it was a golf club you are always in my heart and in my mind,you are just starting life now,love Steve Vallejos. To Beth and family my love and sorrow to your family will never be forgotten just like Bill.Just like God, Bill was called because he was needed in Heaven. So now God is counciling him because he is special.We will miss him.

We all know that Bill was a real "gem". There wasn't a nicer guy around. He will be deeply missed by his Coronado Class of 1975 friends. Beth, kids, and the rest of Bill's family, we ask that God hold you close to him and help to ease your pain. Just hold all of your cherished memories of Bill in your heart always and a part of him will always be with you. You are all in my prayers and the prayers of many others. Much, much love to all of you.

When I think of Billy I think of that wonderful smile that he was always willing to share with everyone. He was a kind man and a wonderful person. It saddens me to think that we will never see him again, but I feel truly blessed to have known and to have worked with him. People like Billy make this world a much better place. Billy we will never forget you. To Beth and the rest of the family, thank you for sharing this awesome man with all of us. I will pray that you find comfort in the words...

Beth & Family -

We are thinking about you today and always during this difficult time.

From a coworker to a coworker is how I knew Billy. I will always remember him wearing a smile. Even on bad days.

I worked with Bill at Waste Management for almost two years. He always managed to have a smile on his face no matter what when he came into the office. My dad Steve Vallejos worked with him for 15 years and has always said nothing but good things about him. I send my condolences to the family and friends that lost such a wonderful man.

Beth..I'm so sad to hear about your loss. Bill was a true friend, a great father, and loved you so. I remember all of our golf games so vidvidly. Bill made the world a better place and will truely be missed by many....God Bless
