William Michael "Bill" Hightower

We loved Uncle Bill. He seemed to always look up, find ways to see the positive and live a life that compelled those around him to do
the same. Our sadness is tempered by his Faith, knowing that this time of separation will be temporary.

He has left us with so many ways to celebrate his life. His service to his church, friends, and family leaves all of us as better people
having known him. We can celebrate his life every time we encounter a challenge and think about how...

Molly:
I just heard and am saddened by this. Although our contact was not long before he left for the army, I remember him vividly--a real mentor to me in the ways of graduate school and the LSU faculty--I learned so much from him in that short time in Allen Hall. It is a great lament that I did not maintain contact. Our condolences to you and your family.

I just want you to know that he was highly respected. When we heard of his death, we were very sad.

I will share with you some comments made by my co-workers who had the pleasure to work with Mr. Hightower.

"He was always so nice."
"He was a professional and a gentleman."
"His work was always well done."...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We have memories of Bill's gentleness and tenderness especially toward Beth when she was injured during soccer games. Please be assured of our prayers and know that if you need anything we are here for you.
