Not sure what to say?

I've been reading "What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World's Most Enigmatic Birds",
by Jennifer Ackerman, and I kept thinking oh, how William would enjoy this book. Chapter 7 goes into great detail about the Wildlife center and rehabilitation facility in Waynesboro, where I know many of "his" birds went for help. Thinking of William and his family.

Oh, Joyce, I was so saddened to hear of William's passing. His compassion of our feathered friends will never be forgotten. A gentle hug to you.

So sorry to hear about William. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

William was a good soul. I'm glad I knew him. May God Bless.

Thinking of the family at this time. Billy and I went to the same church and high school. Our parents were also good friends. He will be greatly missed.

I counted Billy as a friend in high school at Broughton in Raleigh. Remember 750 Norton scrambler and going very fast. Remember going hunting and not really shooting anything but loving being outdoors. It was great seeing Billy at our reunion. The smile and the sparkle in his eyes were the same. A true free spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Artie Ingram

Joyce and family, William and I were close in high school and I remember him very fondly. He was so kind and caring and fun. Please know that you are in my prayers during these difficult days.

So deeply saddened to hear this tragic news. May the Lord bless, comfort, and strengthen you. Prayers for your family.

Joyce I am so sorry to hear of William passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
