Not sure what to say?

I just learned about Bill's passing today.I have known Bill over 20 years and enjoyed our political conversations, his many great fishing stories.

Bill made a difference! He will leave a void and be sorely missed. He spoke of his family often.He lived life...

My Prayers go out to his family.

I just found out this morning of Bill's passing. He has been my barber for about 10 years. More than that though, I considered Bill a good friend. He was always cheerful and never failed to ask about me as well as my sister, Cheryl, who had worked with Bill and cut his hair. Upon losing Cheryl earlier this year, one of the first condolence calls I took was from Bill. I will never forget Bill and will sorely miss him. He often spoke of his family and I extend my deepest sympathy to them....

Joan and family,

Just heard about Bill from Ginny. I had still kept up with news about Bill thru her all these years, since The Haircutters salon days. I have very fond memories of him, his jokes and stories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

God Bless,

Joan, I really don't know what to say, I'm not even sure the date that Bill passed. I just heard about it today. God Bless you and your family. He was a wonderful man. I remember working with him at the Haircutters almost 20 years ago. He was like a father to me, I learned a lot from him. And how kind he was to be the photographer at my wedding. He will be sadly missed. He was truly one of a kind!!!!

We are so sorry for the loss of your father, grandfather, husband...he sounds like such a special man, and he sure had special family! Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you! Although "we grieve not as those who have no hope" and we look forward to reunion in His time, it's awfully hard to be missing him in the now. May the Lord comfort you and carry you through this time.
