Not sure what to say?

Bill was a frequent backyard drinking buddy to my Dad Irvin Kyle back in the early 70s. He was a tall friendly neighbor to our Old West End Kyle Klan of 8.

I recently met Bill through Sunset House. What a kind and pleasant man he was, so very sorry to hear this news,Lu, friend of Doris Milewski

Even though I moved from Toledo 30 years ago, I will never forget Bill's smile and wonderful sense of humor. We awaited his poem at every retirement party, and each of us hoped for a mention--even if it made you the butt of a joke. There's much singing and joking in heaven, now that Bill has rejoined his old buddies there! My sympathies to Suzy and the rest of the family.

My sympathies to the Gillespie family.

My deepest sympathy to Bill's entire family. I know your faith is strong, and will get you through this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that Bill is in a "place" more wonderful than we can even begin to imagine.

Having known you while very young, memories of you are of fun and laughter and are warm to the heart. Rest in peace Bill. Loving prayers to the family who are also in my heart.

From our first meeting at Miley's to the trips to Circleville, and everywhere in between, Bill was always in the center of the fun, music and games.It was always a party being with him, just being his friend, and looking back at carefree, memorable times. Bless you , Bill, and thanks for the memories......

Our sincere sympathy to the Gillespie family - a huge loss to all who knew him. Sandy & Dave Flick
