We still miss Bill and speak of him often. What an empty spot this has left in our lives. "we miss you and love you Bill"

To the Family Of Bill Preston,

I never knew Mr.Preston but I went to school with both of his sons ( Eric and Brad ) and if he was like his sons in anyway... He was a wonderful, sweet and loving person.
May you rest in peace.

Our Special Angel

So much love and laughter, he had,
Cousin, Grandpa, Brother and Dad.
Such a tender heart, with words so kind,
A better man, we may never find.
As we celebrate our Baby Jesus day,
Still mourning the love which was taken away-
I must force myself to keep things straight,
And focus on his salvation, not his fate.
For I remember, and I shall never forget,
Bill happily announcing his Savior, he met.
He was filled with...

I have been a close friend of Bill's for more than fifteen years now, and am still in shock to learn of Bill's death just this weekend and one day too late to mourn him at his service.

To the family of Bill Preston,

It is with a heavy heart that I learned of Bill's passing. I am ever grateful that I got a chance to see him during this last hospitalization, give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and to thank him for the woodworked box and angel-nurse he gave me (for "saving his life") earlier this year.

My condolences to you all during this sad time in your lives.

We recently met Bill in our neighborhood and instantly became friends. He shared some interesting stories of his life with us. He was knowledgeable, sincere and left us with a smile. We shared a passion for woodworking and other crafts. We are sad that he left this world so quickly.

Dear Family,
How many tears we share with you. So few had been blessed with Bill's presence, but those who were, will never forget him. He was gentle, kind and humorous. He was more than family; he was our friend.

Sean and Eric,

We are so sorry for the loss of your father. He has been our good friend and neighbor for the last nine years. He enjoyed life so much with his many talents and cheerful nature. Our neighborhood will not be the same without Bill and we will miss him here so much.
