Dear Susan and family, Our deepest condolences in the passing of Bill. He was always very kind to us and to our son. May you feel the love and comfort from family and friends as you continue to grieve the passing of Bill into Jesus`s arms. Praying, Sherry maring

Bill was a well respected member in our community of Michigan shoe retailers. I always enjoyed exchanging info with him at trade shows. Please accept my belated condolences.

To the VanDis family, How sorry I am to learn of Bill's passing. May he be a blessed memory. Our families go back several generations when Pat substituted for me in KPS. My husband, Jerry, and Rolla were connected through USTA at K College. Susan, we worked together in KPS where your sons went to school and seeing the family everytime I shopped at V&A. This message is sent with hugs and strength.

Ralph and I were so heartbroken to hear of the passing of Bill. He was the "brother" that I never had and his Mother Mary was my Mother's dearest friend of all. As an only child and with all the other children in the neighborhood, we had a special childhood together. Our Billy, we will never forget. How dear he was. Our love to Sue and her family and also his wondeful sister, Mary Beth, and her family. Love and prayers, Wendy (Whitney) Faulhaber and Ralph Faulhaber

What a beautiful service and tribute to Bill...... May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

An awesome icon of our community. My deepest condolences to his beloved family.

Warm Thoughts Arrangement

Dear Sue and family, So sorry to hear this news. Memories remain strong when our children were connected in grade school at Winchell Elementary. Such fond memories that remain strong. Especially memorable was our trip to Gatlinburg and the interesting horseback riding in the Smokeys. You all remain dear to our hearts. Kathy Spratt, Bryan, Jessica, and family members.

Bill was certainly a nice person, good businessman, and community leader. May Bill rest in peace.
