Not sure what to say?

Bill, I tried to find you for years after you left for the Navy. I owed you $200 on that old Harley I bought from you, and I wanted to pay you. I was trying one more time, and came across your obit. I guess I'll see you on the other side.

prayers are with you

Bill my friend and uncle. One day you and I will share another BBQ and a beer together.Rip

I have been trying to find yall. I happen to look up Mr.Bill's name and saw this. My heart breaks with yall. I remember him singing "Cotton Fields" with my dad, Jessie Salters. They were in the Navy together. Best friends. Ya'll used to live next door to us on Iowa Ct.in College Park, then moved. I babysat Robert & Jason until we moved. Ya'll are in my thoughts and prayers. Jessica Salters Coleman. 438 Andrew Coleman Rd. Saluda SC 29139. I do hope yall get this message.

It was great having you as a brother of the dolphin and a friend. You will be missed. Fair winds sand following seas.

Fairwinds and following seas!

Sorry to read of Bill's passing. He was a shipmate on the NATHAN HALE. Very knowledgeable and very helpful to me learning the ventilation system on submarines. I can still hear him say "You are a particle of air. Describe how you get from the engineroom to the torpedoroom." He knew how to train people. Especially yeomen!

I never told Bill how much we appreciated how they took Paul in as a member of their family. Bill stood up and became a father to Paul teaching him how to be an honorable man. We will never forget his laughter and bright smile. All that knew Bill will say he was truly a good man, who will always be remembered with kindness and strength. With all my love. Gloria
