Bill (and, therefore, Joey and family),
Michele and Ray let me know about Billy's death. I truly cannot imagine what you are going through, but my heart goes out to you.
Bill, I'm sure/hope you remember me. As you may remember Rick was a big part of my life -- and everyone in the class of '65 -- during high school and college, in particular. To even imagine that his nephew is now gone is shocking.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. You and your whole family were dear to me, and I wish life could have spared you this.

Dear Ridenour Family,
It had been years since I had seen Billy but I was still shocked and saddened to hear this news. I have fond memories of all the kids in the neighborhood hanging out after school and building forts! Please know that you all & especially his wife and girls are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ridenour family and children,
My deepest sympathies are with you and your family.
Bill was a great friend of mine though I had not talked to him in some time. Thank you for treating me well in your home and I wish the best for your family and his little girls. May peace be with you and may Bill clear a path for his daughters for whatever they accomplish in life.
I will never forget his kind and soft soul and the times we shared as friends in high school and roommates in Tucson.

Joey and family -
Words just are never enough to express sympathy for your loss. What has been most helpful for me is to focus every day on a good memory rather than the sadness of the loss. Please know that you are in my prayers and if there is anything that I can do, don't hesitate to call.

Joey,
Words are not sufficient to express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your son and I realize that memories, as well, are not enough. As I was on my way to work this morning Dianna Ross was singing "Some day we'll be together...", you know that you will see Billy again some day. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Bill & Joey, Bill - Hopefully you will remember both of us. We saw your son's obituary in the Republic today. He sounds like a wonderful young man! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
So many years have passed, and our lives are all so different now, but Ricky will live in our hearts forever! He would have been a terrific Uncle to your children. Your mom & dad were also so very special to us. Please give our best to Janet.
Hopefully you will remember us, and we want to tell you & your family that we send our sincere sympathy in this time of great loss.
Sincerely,
Ray & Michele (Gilpin) Bonham
