Not sure what to say?

A kind soul, and mentor to me and many others at the USO of Illinois. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy. Bill and Marilyn were good friends with my parents Frank and Honore Cagney. They threw a party for me when I got married. I remember their generosity fondly.
My prayers are with you.

Dear Simpson Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Simpson. I have known him my entire life as a kind and generous man. His devotion to Marilyn was very special. She was a very gracious lady. Mr. & Mrs Simpson were close friends of my parents and extended family. For many years I worked at Loyola University. When on campus, he would always come by to say hello. He will be greatly missed by many! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Simpsons--Bill was a good friend to my mother Marilyn Baugher. The projects he sponsored in memory of his wife Marilyn were an imaginative gift to us all.

Today, with great sadness I learned of Bill's passing. On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Simpson family on your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Bill was a man who lived with a "Heart of Charity." The kindness and grace he showed to those less fortunate are an inspiration to those whose lives he has touched. May you find comfort in knowing that Bill is now at peace.

Dear Simpson family -- We are so very sorry for your loss. We have many fond memories of Mr. Simpson. He was kind, upbeat, positive, interested and encouraging in every conversation. We will continue to treasure his book of poetry and think of him often. Love, Ellen & Doug
