William A. "Bill" Thornton

Bill was truly a unique individual and a good friend. Over the last couple of years, we spoke of many things - virtually every aspect of our lives. The one thing I took away from these conversations was his deep love and concern for his children. You were truly the lights of his life.

I will miss him terribly. But I know - because of several talks he and I had - that I will see my friend again.

Bill was a pleasure to know. He was a great father and will be missed dearly.

Bill was so smart and funny, and such a hard worker. He fought an extraordinary battle over the last 18 months. His attitude was amazing, and he will always be my hero. My sincere condolences to his family.

Bill was always a buddy to commiserate with. His perspective on things was always spot on, and I enjoyed talking to him about a variety of topics. When I last saw him in mid-December, he was still spirited and full of his wit. He showed great dignity throuhout his illness, and I am very grateful to have known him.

Bill was always such a help to me during my years at Centerpoint. He had a unique way of making me stop and think, teaching me without me even knowing it! I know everyone at Centerpoint is surely going to miss him and not just for his work! May God give you his family and friends grace and peace during this difficult time.

Bill was smart and funny and it was a pleasure working with him. My sincere condolences to his family - he will be missed.

Bill's sense of humor was priceless. I admired his courage, determination, & fortitude. He held a special place in the hearts of his co-workers. Salute Bill! And may God comfort your family.

Bill was a very hard working employee. He was very dedicated to his job. The IT Dept will surely miss him. May God Bless you and your family. Bill will be greatly missed.

I enjoyed knowing & working with him
