Have known Bill for almost all of my life and I was blessed to have been a part of his life and the Stutts family. Bill was a leader and one of the best athletes l have ever seen. He always followed his heart and would find success in his work and his interests. My thoughts and prayers go by out to his wife and the family. He will be missed.

Just learned of Bill´s passing and want to offer my condolence to his family.

I went to junior high with Bill and, later, competed with him when he was at Darlington and I was at Marion. Not only was he an exceptional athlete, but he exhibited a sportsmanship that was exemplary. My condolences to Russell, Susan, and all the rest of the Stutts family
