How in the world will our "gang" ever get used to not having Bill around. He was a special friend--always calling to see if there was anything he could do for us. He ended every phone call with "you know we love you guys". Special memories of good times & a loving friend. We will meet again. God Bless you all.

Dear Mary and Family,

I have fond memories of scout meetings at your house in Hampton and Bill's kindness.

We are so glad that God has given us good friends on this earth to make our lives so rich. God's comfort be with you in the coming days and months and call on your friends when you need...

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We remember your family very well from being with the Northampton Little League.
May God's Grace be with all of you at this time.

Dear Mary & Family, I was a classmate of Bill's at Lowell Elementary School in Sioux Falls SD. I was sadened to hear that bill had passed away, never recovering from hip surgery. Bill was a true friend. When he was around you could count on having a good laugh and smile. He will truly be missed. Our sympathy. Jack & Linda Dvorak (Hurd)

Dear Mary, Matt and family,
Kent and I are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Kent has known Bill since 1956 and has wonderful fond memories of the crazy things they did together like hunting and fishing with Kent's grandpa Frank Peterson. Going to teen dances that he would wear a white sport coat that he sewed sequins on himself and was very proud of it. He bought an old Jeep and fixed it up and painted the manifold chartreuse which Kent thinks was probably the only Jeep with a...

Mary, Denise & Matthew, our heartfelt thoughts & prayers are with your family. We were so sad to hear that Bill is no longer with us, but rejoice that he is in Heaven with our Lord. We have such fond memories of Bill, as I'm sure so many people do that knew him. Bill was a wonderful Christian man, who through his outgoing personality touched many lives. Someday we will all be reunited in Heaven, but until then, we pray God gives you all the strength you need to endure. Our love to you...

Mary, Matt, and family. My heart and prayers are with you all during this hard time.
