I Had Mr. Jenkins as a homeroom teacher way back in the day. He was powerful built man, kind, smart and easy to talk to. We all loved him and feared him also because of his power. he was a gentle giant.

My HS football coach at North. Coach was a fierce competitor and rubbed off on most of us players. Many would have run through a wall for him. Rest Easy, Dear Sir. V/R, Patrick Pearson

I remember Bill well. He was a couple of years older than me while growing up in E´Town and I remember him as a great athlete in football as well as basketball. If my memory serves me well, I believe he was all state in football. He was my hometown hero who was so kind and likable. I know he will be missed by many friends and family. Rest in peace Bill.

Bill was a friend from long ago now, from EHS days - the best athlete in school and probably the county. But he was popular also because he was simply a good guy, courteous and kind to all. He seems to have stayed the course and I know he will be missed greatly by his close friends and family. I share with you that I learned much in those few years around Bill and can only imagine how he has impacted yours. God Bless and enjoy those memories.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Bill's passing. We taught several years together at J.T. Alton Junior High in Vine Grove, Kentucky. He was greatly respected for his quiet manner that both fostered fear and respect from the students. I knew him as a trusted fellow teacher who I could depend upon whenever needed. Rest in peace my friend.

What a wonderful person Bill was. He will be greatly missed
