Not sure what to say?

Bill was a part time neighbor of mine down in Fort Myers. He was an amazing man and I enjoyed the many afternoons and evenings that we spent in the driveway talking about life and sports.

I have known Bill for over 40 years in the pigeon hobby and have judged many shows with him in Ohio and Indiana. He will be missed in the hobby and as a friend. Sorry for your loss.

Bill was a co-worker at Twist Drill on E. 49th Street. Very nice person and had many friends. Sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathy to Mrs. Hetzel and family, may Bill rest in peace.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear husband and father. May your fond memories and the peace that God gives comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time. Phillipians 4:6,7,13

I have many fond memories of Bill from the pigeon shows. Bill always had the best quality show pigeons and was also one of the best pigeon judges in the country. I knew him from the time I was about 10 years old and he was always kind and friendly.

We are so sorry to lose our good neighbor Bill. He will be missed. To Sandy and the boys...may great memories of time you spent together keep him alive in your hearts until you see him again. With our sincere sympathy.
