William Thomas Speakes III

Bill was a wonderful friend to me. I cherished his friendship and will miss our talks. Thankful that I did visit you a couple of times while you were sick. Sad I was not here when you left us, I had gone home to England. Prayers for family in their time of sorrow.

Uncle Bill was a wonderful person who was very good to me. I loved spending time with him when we were able and I will have a lifetime of memories to reflect on. Go rest Uncle Bill and enjoy time with those who went home before you.

My grade school friend, such a nice guy.

The World is a less interesting place with the passing of Bill. He was one of the Original movers and shaker´s of the Lexington Restaurant and Bar scene...He Orchestrated His establishment´s to attract an eclectic group from all professions And ages while making everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. He will be missed Along with many of his close friends who preceded him and will join in spirit. Somewhere there is a serious card game being assembled. Well done my Friend!

Sara and all of Billy's surviving family, I am very sorry for your loss. From elementary days at St. Paul's to being Cub Scouts together, I remember well how your Mom served as Den Mother keeping him, me and the rest of our den in line and active times. I'll never forget her either. I'm keep remembering those days and later ones after Billy (and you) became great entrepreneurs with all those taverns. RIP my friend, and try to put in a good word for me as you pour St. Peter a drink

Sara, I´m so very sorry to see where your brother Bill has passed. I was just thinking of him yesterday. He was always nice to me.

Susan and Betsy ... I am sorry to read of your Dad's passing ... I always remember him being generous, nice, and a hard worker. I am sure he will be missed. Hope you and your Mom, sister & families are well. Warmest regards, John McIntosh

I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH BURNEVA AND PLAYED SPORTS WITH BILLY. BOTH WERE GOOD FRIENDS. BILLY WILL BE MISSED.
