William J. Poder

Pat,

Hal and I were devastated to learn of Bill's passing, while we were out of the country. We've loved you all like family since the day you moved to Nokomis. Bill was such a special person and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our love to Kathy, Billy and you.

PAT, CHARLIE & I WERE SO SORRY TO HEAR OF BILLS PASSING. HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND. OUR BEST TO YOU & THE CHILDREN

To the Poder family,
To do this is quite painful, as the memories that I have are so many. I thank you for including me in your family, for he was like a second father to me. All those years growing up with Billy and Kathy, the countless parties, and the happy times. They will stay with me forever.
I'm glad we were there. Just remember to take it one day at a time, as we all will, and let time take away your sadness.

I just wanted to express my thoughts and prayers to your family. my daughter Deanna worked with Bill and talked about him often and what a good friend he had become. I met bill when I was visiting my daughter this past summer. I just remember that big smile of his. I send my deepest sympathy and know Bill is in god's hands. Margaret Bluske

Pat & Family:
You are all endeared, life-long friends. Bill was loved and will surely be missed. Our prayers are with you. Peace and blessings to everyone.

We are thinking of you and wishing you all God's peace. Bill will always be fondly remembered as a great friend.

No pain,no worries,no stress,just eternal rest.

Pat and Kathy

With the strong presence of love brings the strong presence of emotions at these times of loss. Grief and sorrow is a strong emotion to deal with. Bill is with the Lord now. Its hard to accept the loss of not having his company everyday but his new home is far better. Rejoice in him being in the comforting arms of the Lord and that we will join him one day in paradise where our suffering as well will be no more.

Bill is not gone, only under the closer protection...

To the Poder Family. May God be with you Pat and your Family during this going home celebration. I know your heart is heavy now and it may not seem like a celebration but, Bill being the man he was and loved by so many and a pleasure to work with can only be getting his Victory. May God coontinue to bless you. So let your body,mind and soul be at peace. Love Always.
