Not sure what to say?

Bill was a good fellow and friend. I can speak for all of us who worked with him in saying that we were priveleged to be among his friends. Our sympathy to the family and thanks for the memories.

Although we were high school classmates, Jim, today I am thinking of your whole family. I pray for your comfort and solace. I pray that your grief is softened by the memories of joyous and loving times with your father. As a widow myself, I pray for your mom's emptiness, especially and would remind her that love transcends time and space. He is there with you and will continue to comfort you. May you realize the blessings you knew and understand that he has gone to prepare a place before you....

Bill; See you for that cup of coffee
later Bud.Really miss you.

Grandpa,
I will miss you. Though you are no longer here, I will ALWAYS remember the special things you taught me. I know to "Never Mess with the Bull, cause I'll get the horns!" or "If you eat that, you'll be six ax handles across!" Who could forget your "Finger" as you hold up your pinky? Your stories of old, and the war. Calling you EVERY Veterans, and Memorial day, just to thank you for the Freedoms you provided the country.
I have many fond memories of you, and will always hold you...

grandpa
i love you and will miss you.

To Kathy and the Wilson family,
I was very sad to hear of your lost. While a member of your family, Bill always made us feel loved and welcomed. He gave my son Justin a pair of silver wings he had received during the war and we still have them to this day. I have fond memories of the times sitting in the family room and hearing war stories. May god bless you all and know that he left a wonderful mark on every life he touched.
Sincerely,
Joanne Johnson

We will miss you Mr. Bill!
