Not sure what to say?

Dear family, I wish to extend my sincerest sympathy with the death of Bill. The words that come to my mind when thinking of him are: a gentleman, kind, intelligent, quiet and thoughtful.I often visited the farm when I was a 4-H member working with his mother.My parents, Frank & Elizabeth Wesoloski always thought highly of Bill as an outstanding member of the community.I believe I was even told that Virginia was named after me. May you find comfort in knowing that he was such an outstanding...

I'm sorry for your loss. During this difficult time may you rely on God Almighty to comfort you.
Psalms 25:16,17

My husband Raymond was on the Wilmington
Fire District Board of Trustees with Bill. He so enjoyed him and admired his knowledge. I enjoyed many Fire District parties sitting with Ruth. My
prayers are with all of you.

We will always remember our visits to the farm and hospitality of
Bill & Ruth. Our heartfelt sympathy to the entire Goodwin Family.

I remember Bill, William, as such an upright and very quiet man in his community. He loved his dairy cows and the country life he'd chosen. He was devoted to coming to the church and functions there. My condolences to his children and family. Virginia play a song on an organ or keyboard if you have one, Bill Jr., and Ross, I wish you the comfort of GOD'S hand on your shoulder. You are a great family. I'll always remember you're father as a great man and great farmer.

Bill (and Ruth) were great neighbors and friends. A very hard working farm family. Our deepest sympathy to all their family.
Bob, Sandy (Bishop) Windell

With deepest sympathy to our dear friend and co-worker, Virginia Parlato, and her family from the Village of Mishicot and MAGIC.

Mr. Goodwin was such a wonderful man, I had so many nice chats with him at the bank before he went to the Miller Center, God Bless him.
