Dad just found out about Bills passing , shared the news with me and I am very sorry for your loss He was such a "BIG" personality!

What a beautiful depiction of a great man! May the family and friends be comforted with Gods love and peace. This family was a pivotal part of so many lives in the coast. That looks just like Zach!

Please accept my condolences. I went to school with Brittaney. Whoever wrote this obituary. It was absolutely amazing. I loved reading about him. What a wonderful life he had. My prayers will be with you and your family.

My condolences to Kathy and family. My heart is with you and Bill's memory lives on in my heart. Karen Kullberg Faw
