Bill was a wonderful, kind, patient man and a dear friend of ours. We have wonderful memories of our time spent with both he and his wife Shirley. Some of the best were spent down at the boat docks and cruising on the river. He could turn the big Carver on a dime. He was a great Captain. He and his wife Shirley will forever live in our hearts. God speed our friend.
Love always, Vondal & Clara Moore
