Dear Family,
I worked with Bill for approximately 4 years at Five Points School in his classroom. He was a excellent teacher, a kind and warm individual. The children and I will always have great respect and admiration for him.
Please accept my condolences.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Nathan, I didn't know your father but if he raised such a good person as yourself then he was most certainly a good person himself.
