William Daniel Spaid

Fighting back the tears, let me try to express what Bill has meant to our family. Words that describe what an amazing father and husband he was to my sister Kathy and the kids, aren't enough. Bill was active in everything, sports, work, his community. Always there, cheering on Sam, Nate & Charlotte. He was a joy to have around as a brother-in-law. Bill and Kathy always had everyone over for family events, some not so happy, lately. My dad passed away a few months ago. I can only imagine Bill...

My Brother how I loved him so. From the day my father said you have a baby brother and I got to tell my sister the news. Until the moment, she told me he was gone, I always felt he was a son not just a brother. He lived life to the fullest. He and Kathy brought three beautiful children into this world. I know they will follow his example in the care of their own childern. Cheese cakes which he was so good at making, will be made in his honor and memory. A beer or two will also be drunk and...

Dearest family,
This journey for our beloved Billy is over. His passing has made us think about and feel what family value there is in the meaning of "family,friends, and love". When we deplaned in Akron. I said "OH my God it's a full moon".

Dear Kate & Family,
I remember your brother as little Billy,coming to the dorm [Humhprey Hall], with your parents and bringing great food from home. Your big sister love and pride was very evident even then. Please accept my sincere sympathy on loss of your dear brother.

Dear Kathy, Samantha, Nathan & Charlotte,
Please keep your spirits safe in sweet memories. Close your eyes often to feel yourselves wrapped up in Bill's love. And go forward each day, knowing you have so many friends and family who love you, too, and are cheering you on.

To Bill's Family: Bill and I were friends at Copley High and when I picture him, he is smiling and laughing and making all around him happy. I'm sorry we didn't keep in touch because from all the wonderful words and photos, I see he remained just as joyful throughout his adult life. May God bring peace to your heart as Bill's memory lives on.

Dear Sam and Charlotte,
I love you both so much!
I'm sorry for your loss. :(
I'll always be there for you guys, if you ever need me!
Love,
