We are sorry we cannot come to your dad's services. You will certainly be in our thoughts. Your folks were our dear friends ever since their marriage (and your mother since 9th grade). We enjoyed Bill's humour. Blessings to all.

Ruth, Ron and family. So sorry for your loss. I know that even though we know where Bill is, life this side of heaven will never be the same for you. He was a dear man and I enjoyed his company many times. His smile and laughter echo in my memories of him (and Arlene). May the Lord sustain you in the many decisions being made and yet to be made. All our love and prayers during this time. Larry and Vicky.
