To the Family of Bill Walsh
He's Only Gone Ahead:
He's only gone ahead of you,
Not just left you behind.
Although you can't be with him right now,
He lives on in your heart and mind.
The day will come when you'll meet again
On Heaven's distant shore,
And the two of you will walk hand and hand
Together forever more. (Unknown Author)
You are in our thoughts and prayers. The Clutters Family

Dear Carleen, Karen, Billy and Christine,
The family of Bob and Willie Lyons remembers with great fondness, our dear neighbor Bill Walsh who left us with funny stories by which to remember him. He was always the first one to show up with candles or batteries at our door when the electricity went out in a storm or if we needed anything at all. His sense of humor was wonderful. We'll always remember him.
Sorry to miss seeing you at today's wake as we are all in Florida helping Bob...

To the family I'm very sorry for your loss . I worked for Bill when I was in college. He was a great boss and friend. When I got married years after I stopped working for him I remained friends and made sure he was part of my wedding.
