Not sure what to say?

Bill was my fraternity brother at Bethany College during the mid sixties. He was a valued fraternity brother affectionately labeled in the Hoop & Holler Duo. He has made this KA proud in having lived a successful and full life. I extend my best wishes to his family!

To Bill's Family. I just learned of his passing & immediately reflected on many great hours in his company at the Frat house. He was a great character & an even greater brother. My sincerest condolences.

Bill, I haven't seen you since we were at Bethany. I'm so sorry you weren't able to make the KA reunions or if you did, I wasn't at the one you attended. You are fondly remembered. Prayers for your family

With deepest sympathy, may the power of prayer ease your sorrow, give you peace and provide much comfort for you during this difficult time. Matthew 21:22

My sincere condolences to Leslie and the entire Hoop family. I didn't know him, but this obituary depicts quite a renaissance man! I am happy that you had 32 wonderful years together. Sending you a long distance hug! Molly

I worked with Bill in the mid-80s at H

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Sincerely sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Our careers at UPI covered the same span of years, but we worked together closely only for the period when he was state editor in Ohio. I passed through the bureau on a computer-training assignment, and I remember Bill as an earnest and considerate manager who worked for the best interests of both his staffers and the company. Sounds like he went from strength to strength in later years. 73, Bill.

I am very sorry to hear about Bill's death. He and I worked for United Press International in Pittsburgh in the late 1970s.
