William Harrison Scates Jr.

We all lost a great friend, great person and maybe the most memorable man I will ever know. Always positive, always with a good word, Bill made the world a better place. I will miss you my friend.

Wellwhat can I say!
He was my first boyfriend,

Sharing your grief,

My deepest condolences to Buck & your family from Bill Turrill, Phoenix, AZ. Bill was friend at Frankin High & Theta Chi at UofW in Seattle. My last experience with Bill was playing golf (of course) at a Franklin alumni gathering at Jefferson Park. Bill was better golfer than a football player.

So many happy memories. So many friends and family adored you. We will miss your joyful outlook on life and family. Love, cousin Marilyn

I loved watching him pitch on our softball team; he was good enough that we nicknamed him "Gaylord Perry". I also have fond memories of him dancing at the Christmas parties.

I will miss you dear Bill.....God Bless you and may you rest in peace.
