HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!! You may not be on this earth anymore, but without you being born I wouldn't exist - therefore I still appreciate [and choose to remember you on] your birthday. I love you and miss you. I've learned how to cope a little bit, though not much. For now, I look forward to continue visiting with you in my dreams.

Daddy, it has been a year since you passed away. I miss you so much and long to update you with new things in my life and ask you for your advice on matters. I do still feel your presence over me and look to you to continue guiding me thru the remainder of my life here on earth. I miss you.

Well Daddy, it has been almost a year. I still have a hard time with the fact that you are never coming back to me. I miss you ever so much and can't seem to find anything that can compensate for my losing you. I sponsored this guest book in your memory so I can feel like I'm in some sort of touch with you. I still love you and hope that someday I will see you again.

I met Bill about 40 years ago. We worked together while both attending ASU. We became good friends and got into the habit of playing racquetball once a week for mamy of those years. Well, we played some, but the main reason was to drink beer, eat and socialize. When Bill became ill the racquetball stopped but we still got together for lunch whenever possible. He was a great friend and I miss him a lot.

I was fortunate to have met Bill several years ago. Although he appeared to me as a soft spoken man of few words, he used his words well. I always felt enriched after our conversations. He fought this cancer with a courage seldom shown. I don't believe anyone ever heard a complaint or came close to knowing the pain he had. Thats the way he wanted it

Bill was one of he nicest guy's you could ever meet. I remember the first time I met him he just struck up a conversation. Not many people do that anymore. Through out the years we would talk and he was alway's kind and insightful. I would alway's run into Bill in the strangest places, the airport, a B1 building, the store. Although I havn't seen Bill in a few years I often thought of him, wondered how he was doing and hoped he was OK. I will miss him greatly.

I worked at the Bank One Black Canyon Facility in 1995 as a Wackenhut Security Officer. I remember visiting with Bill on the East Dock of the building that the MSO is in. He was always friendly and positive in his outlook. He treated the security officers with respect and I greatly appreciated him for that. May God Bless his loved ones and bring them comfort and peace during this time of loss of their loved one. With heartfelt symphony, Jim Smith

Daddy, you have always been my hero, my mentor. It is so hard to imagine the reality of you not here anymore for me to talk to. The advice you have given me and lessons you have taught me throughout my life have helped me more than you'll ever know .I love you and miss you so very much. You are and will always be forever in my memories and in my heart.

Bill was married to me for 14 years and he was a wonderful father, husband and provider, a hard worker, had a great sense of humor and never complained about life, as I knew it then. May he rest in peace in heaven and watch over his family and friends (past and present), for the rest of our lives.
