Our hearts are heavy and saddened!...It's as though a bright light has
gone out in our daily lives....Bill was an inspiration in that he was
always smiling, with blue eyes twinkling, and a joke to tell,.. and to "you" personally....His thoughtful , kind ways never wavered from the
school days we shared so many years ago at Camelback High School. He was unanimously liked and popular, and that grand personality continued all his days.....We will miss the joy he brought each time we spoke, and the fun we had so often in E-mails.....What a tremendous loss for us all.....but so much joy for our LORD and all that meet him in Heaven!
Our deepest sympathy to Marge, his soulmate, and his loving family.
Love always, Sam and "LULU" :Mary Lou Costa-Fernandez
