Not sure what to say?

Bill was a great friend and always had time for a friendly round of golf, especially with his fellow Lions Club members. I think about him almost every day and mill his friendly smile.

Carl:
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Hold on to the memories. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Golfing at Lake LeAnn won't be the same without Bill - who was always there with a great smile and a sympathetic ear to my golfing woes. He was an institution. He is yet another great golfing friend who has left our world for the greener fairways of heaven. Our prayers go out to his family and the rest of his golfing friends. God Bless!

Bye Bill :-( joleen and I were very sad to hear that you had to go tee it up, up there! I also have tons of fond memories of fun times with Bill and others at LLGC. Seward Green would sum it up with "by Jesus" you will be missed!

"Hold it there partner" is a phrase I will always remember Bill saying to me as I practiced my golf swing. Though it has been quite sometime since I last saw Bill he has always been and will continue to be a part of my golf game. My prayers go out to Rob and Carl,

Was saddend to hear off Bill's passing. I learned a lot from him and Carl both while growing up on the golf course. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ross family!!

My Thoughts And Prayers Go Out To To You All In This Time of Sadness And Loss!

As my Mind Goes Back, I Hardly Know Where To Begin...

Bill Was not Only a Fantastic Instructor...Which is Where Our Relationship First Began... He Became a Good Mentor and Friend as Well.

He Gave Back; Not Only to The Sport of Golf.. But To The Community in Which He Lived And Served As Well..

I Will Never Forget Playing an "Instructional" Round With He and Carl one...

I honestly don't remember how old I was when I first started taking lessons from Bill. Maybe 7 or 8? Then 10 years later I had the privilege of teaching along side him (and I got to bartend!) with the girls. My favorite memory was teeing off on #3. He came up behind my mom and me very quietly and watched me. After a decent drive he said "What a swing!". I looked at him and said, "You taught me that". He will be very missed.
