This is heartbreaking news for our family. We will miss our Lake Visits with Billy, dearly. No other shoes will ever fill his... Lisa, this is beautifully written & Billy would certainly agree. Blessings to you for sharing. Blessings to you for keeping safe & healthy in your time of grief. Love, Norton's AZ

I was really blessed to have Bill as a stepfather, he was such a kind and gentle man. We shared a common bond...our Love for my mother and animals. I miss him deeply and will cherish his memory always. Lisa, he loved you fiercely and was so proud of the woman you became. Hold tight to your memories, and the love you shared. Find comfort knowing Bill was cherished by many and will never be forgotten. He will live on in our hearts.

Losing a sponsor, especially one as cool as he his, is very difficult. He is deeply missed. I frequently see idiotic stuff and think " I gotta call Billy about this"... But he can't pick up the phone anymore. I am sure I will see him again on the other side. Pray for me, as I will for you, that we all merrily meet up in Heaven. Eternal rest grant unto him and may perpetual light shine upon him.

I was lucky enough to meet Bill when I went to Omaha to bring home my grandma's (Madeline) remains. Bill was the sweetest soul you'd ever meet. He always referred to me and my children as his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He thought of us as his own. He welcomed me into his home and shared my grandma's life with me and I couldn't thank him enough for the kindness he has shown me. Bill you will forever be missed by your other family who all wished they could have gotten to meet you in...

God bless you and your Family.
