Not sure what to say?

I remember Bill as one of the funniest, most interesting people I've ever met. So many saddened by his early passing but everyone who met him will never forget him.

Kathy and Family, I have no words to say how I feel about the passing of Bill, I always enjoyed talking to him, he made great conversation no matter the topic. You two were a great couple and I know he loved his family. He will be missed.

Dear Kathy and Girls,
Bob and I are sending our love and sympathy to all of you at this very difficult time. Bill was so special to both of us and he will be deeply missed by many. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and we wish that we could be there to celebrate his life with you. RIP our friend!! Love, Bob and Tana

Kathy,
We were so saddened to hear about Bill. Every occasion was brighter when he was there. What a loss for so many. It must have been so difficult to write his obituary but you all did a beautiful job. May you find solace in your wonderful family and friends.

Mrs. Pfouts, Laura, Sarah, and Rebecca,
I am so sorry for your loss. This picture is so wonderful, because that is how I remember Mr. Pfouts - with a warm, welcoming smile on his face. May your memories and the love of family and friends comfort you during this difficult time. See you soon.

My dear Kathy, Phyllis, Susan and family:

I can't tell you how bad I felt when I read about Bill. He was a great man and a wonderful friend. He certainly had many talents, and will be remembered for a very long time. My sympathy to all of the Pfouts's. RIP Bill, you have a lot of teaching to do in Heaven. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms.

Dear Kathy & girls,
Our hearts go out to our favorite neighbors ever.
When we think of Bill, we remember his kindness, his pleasure helping others, hours spent on his tree house & tot lot, his laugh, and always his devotion to his "girls".
From afar, Bill will be remembered & you will be in our prayers.
Love, Janet & Allison

I will be difficult for me to imagine a world without Bill. He was a colleague of mine at Kennametal for most of my career there, and I often noted that if you could not work with Bill, you had better move on to another job! We enjoyed many great conversations about politics, PSU/ND coaches, our times in Vietnam and of course our families. He was the most even tempered man I ever knew, something I will miss the most. My sympathies to his wonderful family, he was so proud of all of you.

Our deepest sympathies. Please know that Bill had a great impact on our family. Our daughter, Dr. Angela Crimboli McCormick was then a naive 2004 GSHS graduate and attended the ND send-off picnic that August. His kindness and encouragement made the transition to the Irish family very easy. We were proud to have known him.
