Not sure what to say?

Bill will always be traveling with us.

Bill was a kind soul and an outgoing affable fellow. I met Bill as Judy did, outside our building on one of our many recurring cigarette breaks.

Bill and I clicked. We talked about philosophy, the economy, real estate... Bill was well versed in every subject and had something wise to say every time we spoke. I heard of his passing today and it broke my heart. The world is a lesser place without Bill. I am sorry for your loss...our loss, but consider myself lucky to have had the...

Barbara, we were so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. It has been many, many years since we last saw you two but wanted you to know you and your girls are in our thoughts. Bill was such an integral part of my life at the law firm with his charm and fun loving nature. We know you loved him very much. Our very best wishes for you.

Dear Barbara Joan,
Just heard about Bill. Even though it's been years (and years!) since we've been in touch, so many memories came rushing back of Bill's sweet smile and genuine kindness. I am so sorry for you, Kate and Molly. Take care and know you're in my thoughts.

Barb, Kate, and Molly,

I'm so sorry to hear about Bill. I often think of our high school days and playing baseball together. He was a great guy with an excellent sense of humor and we'll all miss him. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Barb
Such sadness we felt when Deneece called with the news. Bill was always the guy with the twinkle in his eye and we will certainly miss him. We hold you and the girls up in our prayers, and look forward to seeing you at the River this summer!
love,
Shawn and Scott

Barb, Kate and Molly,
It's been 25 years since we were neighbors, but we still love how the Hortons welcomed us into the neighborhood family. Bill was funny, gentle and charming, and it was obvious how much he loved his own family. Our thoughts will be with you always.

Bill was one great lawyer-- did a lot of work for my company over several years and we spent a lot of time working together in my office and his-- we argued got mad and laughed--but we always remained friends-- he was very considerate and concerned with very serious health issues inmy family and showed heart felt understanding--- I will miss his smile and quick wit-- my thoughts and prayers are with his family

Dear Barbara, Kate and Molly,
Sharon, Joe and I deeply mourn your loss. Sharon and I have been sharing with each other how Bill's cheerful friendliness was such a blessing whenever we met in the neighborhood. Please accept our condolences and offer to provide a helping hand whenever you may wish it.
