Where does one start? I´ve known Bill for over 40 years. He was an excellent husband, father and friend. We worked together at Puritas Lutheran, committes and church council. He will be missed. Rae and Maggie, my deepest condolences. Tim Hadde

Rae and Maggie, I´m so sorry to hear of Bill´s passing. The 3 of you were one of the nicest families I had the pleasure of working with at WPLS. I´m glad our paths crossed again later at Bethany. I always enjoyed talking about the current Playhouse Square musicals with Bill! May God´s love comfort and bless you.
