Missy, Cece and Families,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I reflect back when you girls were growing up, the great times we had at Longboat Key. You were so blessed to have such a loving Mom and Dad. In later years we enjoyed visiting with Bill and Adelaide during our class reunions. Bill was also my attorney on property closings, etc.. Your Mom and Dad are now reunited in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of grief. May God...

It is with broken hearts, we say farewell to our beloved friend and gentleman, Bill Sweat. But only for a short time, as we will be together, again! He was a cherished friend and a wonderful father figure, for more than 40 years. Bill was always eager to give sage advice at every point, when we asked. His wisdom and brilliance far exceeded his years and he was such a kind and generous loving CHRISTIAN. His amazing wife, Adelaide was our first bible study teacher and Bill often joined in...

My husband , Scott Santa and I were so sorry to hear of the passing of this wonderful man. Bill helped us with the adoption of our son , as well as so many other things. He was perhaps the kindest person we knew. Praying for his family for peace and strength. His was truly a life well lived. RIP

It is always hard to say good bye, but something that we must all do one. Mr. Sweat was like the father I never had, always giving me great advice about school, family, friends, and even girls when I started dating, lol. He was always smiling and willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. I will always remember the time we spent together, the conversations we had, and most importantly the friendship that he extended to me over the years. I take comfort in knowing that you are in a...
